City development doesn’t just happen. “It’s thought out in five, ten or even 20-year plans,” said Kimberly Portillo, City of Lenexa Planner III. That means before a new building goes under construction in Lenexa, the plan gets reviewed by a staff member in the Community Development Department’s Planning Division. "In the site design, we get down into the nitty gritty details like how wide the sidewalk is going to be and how deep a parking stall will be,” Kim said. “Every single project that comes in to get reviewed will receive comments of some sort, none of them are perfect.” Get to know Kim at https://lnkd.in/gWHkwGMB
