Concern over a proposed senior living apartment complex brought concerned neighbors from the surrounding area to the Overland Park Planning Commission meeting this week. Developers of LUX Senior Living apartment, set to be built on the northwest corner of 137th Street and Quiviria Road, presented their request for the lot to be rezoned from RP-5, which allows up to four-story buildings, to RP-6. Under that new designation, the complex would be able to build three buildings, ranging from five to six stories based upon grading. The change would also allow developers to more than double the number of units on the 5.9-acre property, from the original 104 units to 236 units. The additional one to two stories was the primary concern raised Monday by the residents, who live in two neighborhoods near the proposed complex.
