and Community Shopping. To the north lies a mobile home park
zoned R2 and shown as Multi -Family. To the east, lies an area
zoned C-2 and shown as Public Institutional. It is currently
used as a nursing school. To the south are areas shown as
Commercial and Community Shopping zoned C4 and R2, respectively.
The area to the west is zoned R2 and shown as Single Family.

MASTER STREET PLAN:
Colonel Glenn is shown as a Principal Arterial and Bowman is
shown as a Minor Arterial on the Master Street Plan.
PARKS:
There are not any parks in the immediate area of this proposal
and this site is not listed as a proposed park site.
BACKGROUND:
The area has changed in recent years. The anticipated demand
for community shopping in the area has not been fulfilled. One
example is the structure to the east, built as a shopping mall,
is now used by Baptist as a nursing school. Another is the
tract of land at the southwest corner of Colonel Glenn and I-430
has been changed from Community Shopping to Commercial and has
yet to be developed.
The change from Community Shopping and Office to Mixed Office
Commercial is in keeping with changes in the neighborhood and is
not viewed as a significant change.
NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN:
This site is not covered by a neighborhood plan.
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS:
Notices were sent to the following neighborhood associations:
Sandpiper N.A., Twin Lakes "A" Neighborhood Assoc., Campus Place
N.A., Kensington Place N.A., Westbrook N.A., Birchwood

has received no comments from area residents or neighborhood
associations prior to printing.
