BOARD MATTER

July 25, 2005
Expedited Processing
PCA 80-P-039-09
University of Southwestern Missouri

Mr. Chairman:

Hunter's Branch, a PDC zoned development is partially governed by proffers approved pursuant to PCA 80-P-039-09. Certain secondary uses are specified in those proffers, and Hunter's Branch Partners LLC is requesting that the approved proffers be amended in order to permit colleges and universities as an approved secondary use.

As you are aware, local and out of state colleges and universities are establishing small satellite campuses within office developments to offer specialized classes and degrees to professionals in the metropolitan area. The University of Southwestern Missouri is seeking to locate within Hunter's Branch, but is unable to do so due to limitations in the proffers. The proposed satellite campus would have no more than sixty students, with thirty at any time, as well as two professors.

Motion:

Therefore, Mr. Chairman, I move that the Board direct the Department of Planning and Zoning to expedite PCA 80-P-039-09 to the greatest extent possible after the scheduled Planning Commission public hearing.

This motion does not prejudice in any way the consideration this PCA
nor does it relieve the applicant from compliance with the provisions
of all the applicable ordinances, regulations or adopted standards.
