A landscape plan, along with a Rock Quarry Road special plan, was conducted for this potential multi-family unit.

Another potential development to be discussed is near the University of Missouri campus. It would be built northwest of the intersection of University and College Avenues. It would include the address 1205 University Ave. The development will be on an approximately 2.91-acre lot and hold 320 dwelling units.

A tree preservation plan, parking analysis, and a shadow study have been completed for the development.

Public comment will follow those discussions, according to the meeting agenda.
