Desires Expressed by Residents
The City’s Sustainability Committee (made up of residents and elected officials) brought focus to UD as they worked on the CFAA gold certification in 2019.
The 2019 Planning Sustainable Places Study found that residents desired a variety of housing options, including senior housing, garden homes, town homes, attached single family and detached single family homes.
The 2020 Comprehensive Plan update process also saw residents express interest in diversifying housing options in the community. Universal Design was a specific topic of focus during the comprehensive planning process.
Residents prioritized housing concerns in the following order:1. Rehabilitation of existing homes2. Mix of housing options3. Affordable, senior and low-impact (i.e. tiny homes) tied for 3rd
4. Higher density mixed-use

Draft UD Policy Purpose

b. Ensure that people with mobility issues are able to visit the homes of their friends and family members who may not have mobility issues.
c. Enhance the full life cycle use of housing, without regard to the functional limitations or disabilities of a home's occupants or guests, in order to accommodate a wide range of individual preferences and abilities, in all new residential development within the City of Roeland Park.
d. Incorporate design features into residential dwelling units that enhance residents' ability to remain in their homes during periods of temporary, developing, or permanent disabilities.

• 30-18.4 - New Construction Requirements and AOR Certification.a. Visitability. To ensure that all new residential dwellings units subject to the provisions of this section meet the basic needs of a wide range of guests to enter and use critical portions of the home, all units subject to this section shall include the following features:
1. An accessible exterior access to an accessible entry;
2. An accessible interior access from the accessible entry to an accessible powder room, accessible common use room or an accessible bedroom, and adaptable internal stairs;

UD Policy is Incentive Based vs a Requirement
Direction established during discussions concerning Universal Design during the Comprehensive Plan update process reflected views supporting both an incentives approach and a requirement approach. In the end the majority felt that an incentives approach was the best approach for Roeland Park.
Currently, the policy contemplates waiving of the building permit fee for projects employing Universal Design. The criteria to qualify for that incentive is still being worked out.
Alternative incentive methods are also being considered.
Universal Design methods were employed during R Park design planning and are being employed at City Hall as part of a project initially intended to address ADA compliance issues.

Challenges• We faced initial resistance from non-profit housing developers
• Increased cost • Not going to be affordable
• What we found:• Added some soft cost – design• Nominal construction cost increase• Developers were seeing larger increases in materials • Acceptance – adds value to the homeowner and community
