The committee asked city staff to look for sites and funding for a new youth sports center and report back within 90 days, prioritizing access for students in Kansas City Public Schools and Hickman Mills. For affordable housing projects that meet eligibility rules, the city will create faster permit review, a tiered fee-waiver program, and an assigned staff navigator to help applicants. Changes to parking rules were advanced to reduce required on-site parking and support more walkable development, which may lower parking costs for new projects. A historic landmark designation was advanced for Leonard Smith Hall, which means the building will have protections and review requirements for future changes.
