A special use permit that would change a nursing home into a youth foster care home at 63rd and Leavenworth Road has picked up opposition.
The item is on the 7 p.m. Unified Government Commission meeting on Thursday, Aug. 31, at City Hall, 701 N. 7th St., Kansas City, Kansas.
The Leavenworth Road Association has submitted a petition with more than 100 signatures against the special use permit, according to association executive director Lou Braswell. She said the association members have questions about the project, and did not think the proposed staffing level for the number of proposed youth was enough.
The ages of the youth would be 5 to 17 years old, according to UG documents.
The UG staff has recommended approval of the special use permit, with some changes, according to the agenda.
Before the 7 p.m. meeting, the UG Commission will meet in a special session at 5 p.m. on the fifth floor conference room at City Hall to discuss economic development and finance tax increment financing update and incentive policy.
