EDUCATION - ANNUAL MEMBER MEETING - The 2022 Annual Members Meeting was held May 4, 2022 at the Fire House KC. HKC's annual member exclusive event provided for the opportunity to listen and meet noted author Bruce Mathews, author of "Mount Washington Cemetery: In Search of Lost Time." The Annual Meeting is one of the many ways HKC engages with our membership. It's also the time we use to report on the performance of HKC and hold Board of Director elections. (80 + attendees). OUTREACH AND EDUCATION RESOURCES - HKC provides up-to-date information about proposed changes to historic resources throughout the city with dynamic advocacy through our large online community, averaging a reach of 70,000. HKC's virtual engagement offerings include news issues of the day and a broad range of preservation issues and thematic series including Black History Month, Mindful Monday, Modern Monday, Tech Tuesday, Westport Wednesday, Window Wednesday, Throwback Thursday, Find It Friday, Endangered No More, Historic Preservation Month, Greenest Building, Preservation 101, and Authenticity. HKC shares local, regional and national preservation-related news and upcoming events through our quarterly e-newsletter the gazette; send gazette alerts when action from membership and interested parties is urgently needed. VIRTUAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION MONTH - HKC's Historic Preservation Month programing provides 30-days of educational content about historic resources and architecture through our online community. RESEARCH & NOMINATIONS - Recognizing landmarks and historic districts by advancing the implementation of existing legal protections by identifying important historic resources and helping citizen groups initiate their designation as landmarks or historic districts. 0 13462 ADVOCACY - KCKS GOTHIC CHURCH - In working with our Kansas partners, HKC used our outreach platforms to encourage stakeholder comment regarding the request to demolish the Seventh Street Methodist Episcopal Church, 1107 N. 7th Street Trafficway, Kansas City, KS. KC SPIRIT PLAYBOOK - Since 2021, HKC has closely monitored, kept our membership informed, and used our social media outlets to encourage participation in the KC Spirit Playbook planning process. An HKC board representative served on the steering committee. HKC has advocated for a demolition review ordinance, city economic development incentive policies to ensure the retention of restoration tax incentives, the value of preservation over new construction, to encourage the reuse of historic buildings over new development as a means of protecting the environment and increasing affordable housing, to provide equity for older neighborhoods by developing innovative tools for residents to have proactive input into the character and scale of development, the importance of following adopted plans, and to update the city's historic resources survey plan. The Plan was adopted by the City Council in 2023. ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS - The city considered Ordinance 220698 that would allow accessory dwelling units - secondary homes or apartments that share the building lot of a larger primary house - to be built in Kansas City. HKC did not taken a position on the ADU ordinance, but did testify at both public hearings stating that we believed that the ordinance was moving too quickly without the opportunity for input and that there were several concerns that should be addressed before the city made such an important change in the zoning of historic and other neighborhoods. These issues were 1) Provisions for the building of ADUS within historic districts, 2) Realistic and enforceable requirements that the primary home or ADU on a lot must be occupied by the owner of the property, and 3) Identification of budgetary resources for enforcement of ADU regulations. MAIN STREET FORUM OF HISTORIC STREETCAR NEIGHBORHOODS - The Main Street Forum is an alliance of midtown neighborhoods working to coordinate discussion and planning as the streetcar line extension is developed. Leaders use a private Facebook group for neighborhood presidents and their invited guests for discussion of related issues. We also have a public Facebook page that is open to anyone who wants to stay updated on development issues along Main Street. HKC convened the forum in 2021 to help protect remaining historic resources and to create a "big picture" approach to development along the streetcar line. This group meets quarterly. 31ST & MAIN STREET HISTORIC DISTRICT - HKC in partnership with the Union Hill Neighborhood, remained at the forefront of advocacy efforts to save the historic structures at the corner of 31st and Main Street. Listed on HKC's "Most Endangered Places List" due to speculative development pressure on Main Street these historic structures were identified by a KC Streetcar federal study as eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. HKC issued a "call to action" upon learning from the Union Hill Neighborhood of the planned demolition of the buildings by the property owner. In collaboration with 4th District representatives Eric Bunch and Katheryn Shields, an application for local historic designation was filed with the city. The City Council APPROVED the Historic Designation of the 31st & Main Historic District by UNANIMOUS vote on October 13, 2022. Historic designation status prevents the buildings from being torn down for three years, and also imposes restrictions and standards on how the buildings can be used. STEPTOE LIVES - Although most of the buildings in the former African American neighborhood of Steptoe have been demolished, a newly-formed coalition of groups has come together to keep its memory alive. Steptoe Lives, which includes HKC, the Plaza Westport Neighborhood Association, the Westport Presbyterian Church, the St. James Missionary Baptist Church, the Santa Fe Neighborhood Council, Saint Luke's Health System, and other individuals, is made up of people who lived in Steptoe, have ties to it, live in the neighborhood today, and others interested in keeping its memory alive. KANSAS CITY CALL BUILDING ASSESSMENT STUDY - As part of our field service outreach, HKC secured two grants from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, for assessing the structural integrity and physical conditions of the improvements upon the KC Call property, located in the 18th and Vine National Register Historic District. The owner and HKC desired to work together for the assessment of the structural integrity and physical conditions of the improvements upon the KC Call property. Now completed, the assessment identifies the steps needed to secure and stabilize the property until long-term plans for its renovation can be developed. 3933 & 3937 KENWOOD AVE - HKC supported the Hyde Park Neighborhood Association in opposition to a proposed 9-unit multifamily building overlooking Gilham Park. Placed on a highly visible site in a National Register Historic District and bordering one of our treasured city parks and boulevards, it would have led to a result that was detrimental to the neighborhood. After several iterations, the proposal was approved by the City Council. UNITY TEMPLE REZONING - HKC and a core group of stakeholders encouraged City officials to approve the rezoning of Unity Temple on the Plaza from a residential district R-0.5 (164 feet) to a commercial district B2-2 (45 feet). Rezoning was sought so that it could once again use the restaurant/event space on the lower level formerly occupied by Eden Alley. The Unity Temple request was important for HKC and the neighborhoods surrounding the Plaza because the rezoning to B2-2 had the advantage of lowering the maximum building height to 45 feet that would be consistent with height recommendations of the Midtown Plaza Area Plan. 48TH AND BELLEVIEW - Lane4 pursued a mixed use development at 48th St. between Madison and Belleview Ave. west of the Country Club Plaza; an auto dominated area designated for "Potential Redevelopment" in the Midtown Plaza Area Plan (The Plan). The Plan's "Bowl Concept" calls for 45' - 130' at this location. HKC worked with the Lane4 project team to revise their application to bring the height of their project down to within an acceptable range of the 130 ft. height restriction. PLAZA BOWL OVERLAY DEVIATION STANDARDS - The Plaza Bowl Overlay District Ordinance, adopted in 2019, limits building heights and land uses on both sides of 47th St. The ordinance permits "deviations" to these height and use limits if approved by the City Council. However, the ordinance includes no standards or limits for evaluating and approving requested deviations. It gives nearly unlimited discretion to the City Council. Working with City Councilwoman Shields and Bough, HKC drafted Ordinance No. 220729 which provides criterion to evaluate the deviation standard. The ordinance is pending review and comment by area stakeholders. COCINA47 PROPOSAL - In 2021, Drake Development shared with HKC plans for Cocina47, a three-story restaurant development, at the corner of 47th and Pennsylvania. The proposal directly violated the Midtown Plaza Area Plan and Plaza Bowl Overlay District ordinance. Both were designed to preserve the character and integrity of the Country Club Plaza and to preclude demolition of the Seventh Church of Christ, Scientist. HKC worked extensively with Councilwoman Shields, met with the developer and key stakeholders several times, expressed the importance of following adopted ordinances, enforcing adopted area plans, and saving the Romanesque Revival church building. In 2022, the developer instead applied with the city for a nine-story project on the site. Drake Development's plans would build six floors of luxury condominiums above three levels of restaurant space, with no parking. Because of its height, the project would need a variance from the city to get around the Plaza Overlay District zoning standards. HKC and a broad coalition of neighborhood leaders, the Country Club Plaza landlord, property owners, and tenants joined together in opposition to the Cocina47 proposal. In June of 2022 the City Plan Commission rejected the project saying the height of the nine-story proposal was an insult to years of planning and community meetings that created policies to guide development at the Country Club Plaza. 0 130540 144002 Lisa Briscoe Executive Director 40 88800 0 0 Greg Allen Past President effective 5.1.22 4 0 0 0 Vicki Noteis President - effective 5.1.22 8 0 0 0 Eric Piper Treasurer 1.1.22-4.30.22 2 0 0 0 Rick McDermoot Treasurer effective 5.1.22 1 0 0 0 Mary Jo Draper Secretary Vice President eff 5.1.22 6 0 0 0 Jeff Zumsteg Secretary effective 5.1.22 2 0 0 0 Manny Abarca Director 1 0 0 0 Dan Cofran Director 1.1.22 - 4.30.22 5 0 0 0 K Christy Cubbage Director 3 0 0 0 Steve Paul Director 1.1.22-6.16.22 1 0 0 0 Marquita Taylor Director 2 0 0 0 Chris Jordan Director 2 0 0 0 Amelia McIntyre Director effective 5.1.22 4 0 0 0 Jim Wanser Director effective 5.1.22 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Rick McDermott 3401 Broadway Blvd PO Box 19 Kansas City MO 64111 8169318448 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 220440 152051 58691 260382 141718 833282 40800 15535 902 15714 15556 88507 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 261240 167586 59593 276096 157274 921789 12050 11335 11965 3848 5678 44876 15000 0 0 0 0 15000 27050 11335 11965 3848 5678 59876 861913 30 0 0 0 30 0 0 0 0 0 0 30 0 0 0 0 30 80 0 0 0 0 80 0 945 150 0 5 1100 261350 168531 59743 276096 157279 922999 0.93382 0.93772 0.00003 0.00011 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 Miscellaneous income and reimbursements RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Bank Charge;1103|Dues and Subscription;3818|Insurance;1966|Program food and facility;1912|Marketing;400|Miscellaneous;107^Total;9306^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 26 Description;EOY Amount^Commerical Card;520|Payroll Liability;630^Total;1150^
