Kansas City Zoning and Development Code § 88-560-09
in effect88-560-09 - REVIEW AND ACTION—CITY COUNCIL
88-560-09-A. Within six months of the date of city plan commission's recommendation, the vacation must be submitted to the city council. Failure to submit the vacation within this six month period will cause the city plan commission's recommendation to lapse and be of no further effect. In this event, resubmission to the city plan commission will be required before the vacation may be submitted to city council. The city plan commission may extend this period by no more than six months.
88-560-09-B. Following action by the city plan commission, the city council must review the vacation and the recommendations of staff and city plan commission, and determine if the proposed vacation is in the public interest, and that no private rights will be unreasonably injured or endangered and the public will suffer no unreasonable loss or inconvenience thereby. No ordinance vacating any right-of-way or platted addition or subdivision, or part thereof, shall be passed except by at least a two-thirds affirmative vote of the full authorized membership of the council.
88-560-09-C. An ordinance approving a final plat may simultaneously vacate rights-of-way for which all abutting properties are located within the plat, and where the city council shall have previously approved a preliminary plat or plan requiring such vacation. Such ordinances must be approved by a two-thirds affirmative vote of the full authorized membership of the council and no notice and/or advertisement beyond that required of final plats is needed.
