Current Projects

The Mission Beverly, a Milhaus mixed-use project, is a proposed multi-family and retail redevelopment located at Martway and Beverly, one block south of Johnson Drive and Mission’s downtown commercial corridor, and parallel to the Rock Creek Trail.  The redevelopment of seven properties – three properties on the south side of Martway, and four properties on the north side of Martway.

The development proposal consists of two buildings comprised of 262 units. The building on the north side is a four-story residential building over a parking garage, and includes approximately 1,500 square feet of retail at the corner of Martway and Beverly. This building also includes a courtyard with recreation amenities, including a pool, lounge areas, 24-hour fitness, and dog wash station.

The structure on the south side of Martway is a three-story walk-up with surface parking. The parking garage (north building) contains 264 stalls with electric vehicle charging, surface parking (south building) has 82 stalls, and seven stalls are located on-street to serve the retail use.

Sustainability measures include the following:

• EV chargers
• Proximity to public transit
• Proximity to active transportation (trail)
• Proximity to downtown commercial/retail/park
• Energy Star appliances
• High R-value insulation and window
• Energy conserving lighting
• Water-control irrigation and native vegetation

We are currently waiting for the developer to submit construction permitting plans for staff review. Please come back to this page to learn more as the project proceeds. Materials are available at City Hall or by request: email Mission’s City Planner at kkneller@missionks.org. 

Construction is under way!

Moffit Development Co., Inc. submitted a Plan for a 77-unit multi-family development in Mission’s Downtown Neighborhood District at 58th and Nall Avenue. Units consist of studio, one- and two-bedrooms with tuck-under parking mid-block. The new development would be within 1/4 mile of the transit station near East Gateway on Johnson Drive, and steps away from shops and restaurants.

Amenities include:

• on-site leasing and management
• secured entrances
• professionally designed interiors
• fitness center
• bike storage and repair
• in-unit washer/dryer
• private patios/balconies for one- and two-bedroom units

The Nelson Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF), also referred to as the Nelson Complex, was constructed in phases, beginning in the 1940s, to address the needs of the growing community.

The Nelson WWTF is located in the northeastern corner of the City of Mission with Roeland Park to the east and Wyandotte County to the north. The Nelson WWTF serves two main tributary basins in northeast Johnson County – containing all or part of the cities of Fairway, Merriam, Mission, Overland Park, Prairie Village, Roeland Park, and Shawnee.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) are requiring stricter discharge limits for constituents such as ammonia, nitrogen, and phosphorus. The treatment technology currently in place at the Nelson WWTF is not capable of meeting these stricter future water quality standards.

The collection system was also sized and constructed with materials and technologies that are now outdated. As a result, it can experience issues during wet weather events. In addition, the system contains four satellite peak excess flow treatment facilities (PEFTFs), which discharge directly to adjacent waterways during significant wet weather events after primary treatment and disinfection.

In 2018, Johnson County Wastewater (JCW) commissioned engineering and environmental services company HDR, in association with CH2M and WCS, to determine the optimum solution to these issues and develop a long-term capital improvement plan for the Nelson service area. The plan recommended a new Nelson WWTF to address the issues of the aging facility and regulatory obligations.  The plan is also flexible to allow for the collection system issues to be mitigated over a 25-year period.

The Rock Creek Corridor Plan is now complete! Click the image above to see the full plan.

The Rock Creek Corridor Study is a Planning for Sustainable Places (PSP) project utilizing funds awarded by the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC). The City of Mission has partnered with Wilson & Company, Engineers and Architects who are leading a team of planners, engineers, and landscape architects (Hoxie Collective, SWT Design, and BikeWalkKC) to analyze the Rock Creek corridor from Woodson to Roeland Drive, and from Johnson Drive to Martway. This initiative will provide a unique opportunity to address overlapping transportation, amenities, economic development, housing, and environmental needs along the trail which will help shape the future of the Rock Creek corridor and the downtown commercial district. This effort aims to enhance mobility, safety, and quality of life in Mission.

The planning process was completed in four steps:

1. Existing Conditions Analysis
2. Public Engagement
3. Draft Recommendations
4. Rock Creek Corridor Final Plan

On December 7th, draft recommendations were presented during a public open house at the Powell Community Center and everyone had an opportunity to provide input on different alternatives. Click on the image below to see more information and the draft recommendations:
