Sedalia Property Owners' Coalition (SPOC)

Background:

In 2007, the Board of County Commissioners established the Sedalia Overlay District Ad Hoc Committee (SODAC) to make recommendations on creating new zoning regulations for the Town of Sedalia. After an intensive year-long process of community meetings and input, SODAC presented its recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners in August 2008. The first step in implementing the recommendations was completed in April 2009 with the establishment of the Sedalia Property Owners’ Coalition (SPOC).

Many zoning designations in the Sedalia community were not compatible with the existing development pattern and land uses. Most of the lots in the area were unable to be developed or redeveloped due to restrictions and requirements of the Douglas County Zoning Resolution. As a result of the SODAC’s work to resolve land use discrepancies, four types of new zone districts were developed, Community, Downtown, Highway Commercial and Mixed Industrial, and were adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on November 16, 2010.  The Community district is generally located in the residential areas a block east and west of Manhart Street; the Downtown district includes the mostly commercial area along Manhart Street; the Highway Commercial district includes the commercial area immediately adjacent to Highway 85; and the Mixed Industrial district includes the industrial type uses northwest of the community.
