Yesterday, the Kansas City Missouri Planning and Zoning Committeeheard the proposals being put forth to allow for construction of theKansas City Missouri Temple, an adjoining meetinghouse, and 140 residential units on the designated 56-acre site. The Committee unanimously passed the proposals to the City Council with thefollowing recommendations: (1) Shoal Creek Valley Area Plan amendment: Immediate Adoption(2) Rezoning Ordinance: Advance and Do Pass, Debate(3) Community Unit Project: Advance and Do Pass, Debate The City Council meets on these issues today. It has final authorityin the Plan amendment. The other two ordinances, however, will pass tothe City Plan Commission for final approval.
I love seeing the Lord's work move forward and can't wait for groundbreaking. One of the other pieces of info I am excited about is the adjoining meetinghouse! Our area is growing by leaps and bounds...the stone is rolling forth!
Being in Utah has been wonderful and has made me even more excited for construction to begin.
Kansas City, here I come.
