18.20.260 North Ridgeview Road Overlay
This section is included in your selections.

Purpose: The purpose of the overlay district designation is to encourage development that will be a major asset to Olathe. This area represents a major gateway into Olathe and, as such, gives a “first impression” of the City for visitors and residents. Therefore, it is important that the development of this area be highly attractive and functional. Further, the purpose of this section is to promote a level of quality that can serve as the basis for the high quality of development that Olathe desires. Individual developers are encouraged to expand upon these guidelines to attain a level of development quality that will ultimately generate an economically enhanced and pedestrian friendly area for Olathe.

B. Design: Due to the area’s topography, development at the interchange of K-10 Highway and Ridgeview Road is much more visible to highway traffic than at any of Olathe's other interchanges. Therefore, the North Ridgeview Road Corridor Overlay District is intended to assure that the types of land uses, development patterns, and designs present a high-quality visual image for the City of Olathe. The Comprehensive Plan anticipates that in the North Ridgeview Corridor, the area north of College Boulevard will be developed with nonresidential uses and the area south of College Boulevard will be developed with a mix of residential and nonresidential uses. (Ord. 02-54 §2, 2002)
