(Item No. F.2.; BILL NO. 26-42) SUMMARY A rezoning application has been submitted for the property at 306, 308, 406, and 450 North Main Street and the adjacent parcel to the north. The applicant is requesting that the property be rezoned from M-1 (Light Manufacturing/Industrial District) to CBD (Central Business District). The immediately surrounding properties are zoned PD (Planned Development District) to the north, M-1 (Light Manufacturing/Industrial District) and CBD (Central Business District) to the east, CBD (Central Business District) to the south, and M-1 (Light Manufacturing/Industrial District) and CBD (Central Business District) to the west. This area is characterized by residential, commercial, and religious uses. The Cape Vision 2040 Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map shows the subject property as Urban Mixed Use. A public hearing has been scheduled for May 4, 2026 to consider the rezoning request. An ordinance rezoning the property is on this agenda as a separate item. SUSTAINABILITY: ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS In considering a rezoning request, the Planning & Zoning Commission and the City Council must determine if the proposed zoning district is reasonable and in reasonable conformity with the existing uses and value of the immediately surrounding properties. The subject property is located on the east side of North Main Street between a townhouse development and Century Casino. A portion of it contains non-residential buildings and other improvements; the rest of it is vacant land. The property was used for manufacturing/industrial and/or commercial uses until recently. It is now vacant. The property is proposed to be redeveloped for buildings containing commercial uses on the ground floor and residential uses on the upper levels. The current M-1 zoning does not allow residential uses. The proposed CBD zoning allows both commercial and residential uses. Additionally, CBD is the zoning equivalent of the Urban Mixed Use future land use category in the Comprehensive Plan. It is for these reasons that the proposed zoning district is reasonable and in reasonable conformity with the existing uses and value of the immediately surrounding properties. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The staff report to the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning request. BOARD OR COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing at its April 8, 2026 meeting and recommended approval of the rezoning request by a vote of 5 in favor, 0 in opposition, and 2 abstaining. PUBLIC OUTREACH The City Council's public hearing was advertised in the Southeast Missourian on April 11, 2026. In addition, a sign displaying the date, time, location, and subject of the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council public hearings was posted on the property. Notices were also mailed to the adjacent property owners.

SUMMARY The Southeast Metropolitan Planning Organization (SEMPO) is a federally mandated and funded policy-making organization that oversees transportation planning for the Cape Girardeau-Jackson urbanized area. As authorized in the Memorandum of Understanding, the City of Cape Girardeau provides administrative services and staff support for SEMPO. Each fiscal year, SEMPO receives grant funds from the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration to cover eligible expenses. The grant is administered by the Missouri Highway and Transportation Commission. As the administrative body for SEMPO, the City of Cape Girardeau receives the funds and therefore is required to execute a Transportation Planning Consolidated Grant Agreement. The agreement for FY 2027 is attached. The agreement period is from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027. FINANCIAL IMPACT The agreement authorizes the City of Cape Girardeau to receive funds up to $164,770 for reimbursement of eligible expenses incurred by SEMPO during the agreement period. A 20% local match is required. Per the Memorandum of Understanding, the local match is to be divided among the voting member organizations, with the City of Cape Girardeau paying 28.6%; City of Jackson paying 28.6%; Cape Girardeau County Transit Authority paying 14.3%; Cape Girardeau County and Special Road District paying equal portions of 14.3%; and the Southeast Missouri Regional Planning Commission paying 14.2%. SUSTAINABILITY: ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS Execution of the agreement is necessary for SEMPO to fulfill its duties as the metropolitan planning organization for the Cape Girardeau-Jackson urbanized area, as mandated by federal law. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the ordinance authorizing execution of the Transportation Planning Consolidated Grant Agreement. PUBLIC OUTREACH A Public Hearing was held by the SEMPO Board of Directors on April 15, 2026 in consideration of the FY 2027 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP), which details the planning projects to be conducted and funded through the Consolidated Planning Grant for the upcoming fiscal year.

The requirements for MPOs are contained in 23 U.S.C. 134, 49 U.S.C. 5303, 23 CFR 450.308, and 23 CFR 450.314. The 1962 Federal Aid Highway Act required states and local governments to conduct cooperative, comprehensive, and continuing (3-C) transportation planning to continue receiving Federal funds for highway and transit improvements. Subsequently in 1973, an amendment to this act further required the governor of each state, with local concurrence, to designate a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for every urbanized area to coordinate area-wide transportation planning. In 1972, new federal legislation provided for the disbursement of Federal planning funds through the states to MPOs. In accordance with the 3-C process, the MPO must adopt a Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) that provides for consideration and implementation of projects, strategies and services that will address the following ten factors: 1. Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global competiveness, productivity and efficiency; 2. Increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users; 3. Increase the security of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users; 4. Increase the accessibility and mobility of people and freight; 5. Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, improve the quality of life, and promote consistency between transportation improvements and state and local planned growth and economic development patterns; 6. Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, across and between modes, for people and freight; 7. Promote efficient system management and operation; 8. Emphasize the preservation of the existing transportation system; 9. Improve the resiliency and reliability of the transportation system and reduce or mitigate stormwater impacts of surface transportation; and 10. Enhance travel and tourism. In 1991, the role of the MPO changed with the passage of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA). ISTEA placed emphasis on the efficiency of the intermodal transportation system, and MPOs responded by focusing on these aspects. In 2012, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) was signed into law. MAP-21 transformed federal transportation grant programs by establishing new requirements for performance management and performance-based planning and programming to ensure the most efficient investment of federal transportation funds. The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) was signed into law in 2015 which continued the performance management and performance-based planning and programming requirements of MAP-21 with minor changes. In implementing MAP-21 and FAST Act, state Departments of Transportation (DOTs), MPOs, and providers of public transportation must:  establish performance targets that reflect the measures; SEMPO FY 2027 UPWP 4  report on progress towards achieving those targets;  develop performance based plans for safety and asset management; and  implement a performance based approach to planning and programming. On November 15, 2021, the President signed into law the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also referred to as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). IIJA represents the largest federal investment in transportation infrastructure in decades and significantly expanded funding available to states, MPOs, and local governments. The legislation strengthened the role of MPOs in advancing multimodal, safety-focused, and resilient transportation systems, and increased emphasis on performance-based planning, project readiness, and regional coordination. IIJA also created and expanded several discretionary grant programs, including safety, freight, carbon reduction, and community access initiatives, that rely on MPO-led planning and corridor studies to position projects for implementation. As a result, SEMPO’s planning activities continue to support data-driven decision making, grant competitiveness, and investments that improve safety, mobility, economic vitality, and quality of life throughout the region.

An MPA boundary map showing the SEMPO metropolitan planning area is attached at the end of this document. This area is faced with the challenge of maintaining a number of transportation systems that meet the needs of a growing region, including highways, railways, ports, airports, transit, bicyclists, and pedestrians. In addition to system preservation and expansion, SEMPO is prioritizing freight mobility and first/last-mile connectivity given the region’s strategic location along the Mississippi River, Interstate 55, and key rail corridors. The region also faces challenges related to aging infrastructure, constrained local match resources, increasing safety needs across all modes, and improving multimodal connectivity between Missouri and Illinois portions of the planning area as well as the Cities of Cape Girardeau and Jackson. Addressing this challenge is SEMPO’s top priority, followed by planning for expansion of these systems to accommodate future growth. SEMPO was designated by the Governor of Missouri as the metropolitan planning organization for the urbanized area on March 12, 2013, and by the Governor of Illinois on February 7, 2013. It is comprised of a Board of Directors and a Technical Planning Committee. The Board of Directors consists of elected and appointed officials from the above jurisdictions, as well as various federal, state, and regional transportation agencies and local transit providers. The Technical Planning Committee primarily consists of staff from these jurisdictions and agencies; it serves in an advisory capacity to the Board of Directors on technical matters. The City of Cape Girardeau provides administrative services and staff support for SEMPO, as authorized in the Memorandum of Understanding and the Bylaws. This UPWP covers the period from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027. It serves as a management tool for identifying, scheduling, budgeting and monitoring SEMPO’s planning activities, and serves as the basis for funding agreements with the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). There are a number of activities that are considered eligible expenses for transportation planning funds, such as: data collection and maintenance, map preparation, land use studies, traffic volume studies, economic and fiscal studies, project evaluation studies, specialized plans, and other studies and plans relating to transportation. In accordance with the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, MPOs are also required to use at least 2.5% of its planning funds on specified planning activities to increase safe and accessible options for multiple travel modes for people of all ages and abilities. The planning work of the Southeast Metropolitan Planning Organization (SEMPO) will remain in compliance with this set aside requirement and endeavor to consider each of these planning emphasis areas thoughtfully and thoroughly. Tables 2 through 6 on the following pages contain SEMPO’s funding and budget information.

It is SEMPO’s general policy to maintain a reserve of funds for potential large expense planning projects that may become necessary in the future. In addition, the SEMPO members who collectively provide the required local match have budgetary constraints, making it unlikely that they would be able to fully fund the local match if 100% of the CPG funds were programmed.

Elements of the FY 2027 Unified Planning Work Program The UPWP is one of four key documents SEMPO is required to develop and maintain for the metropolitan planning area. The other key documents are the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP), the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), and the Public Participation Plan (PPP). The UPWP is the management plan for the MPO and is prepared with cooperation and guidance from federal, state, and local government agencies as well as public and private transportation providers. It identifies and schedules all of the planning activities that need to be accomplished on an annual basis. It integrates policy, planning, and programming activities. This is also where the allocation of staff and funding resources occurs. There are three work elements in this UPWP. Each element consists of sections that identify the lead agency; objective; program activities; prior year accomplishments; work products (with estimated completion dates); and budget. The budget allocation for each work element is included at the end of the element's description. The SEMPO FY 2027 UPWP consists of the following work elements: 1.0 Program Administration and Support 2.0 Data Collection and Management 3.0 Transportation Planning 1.0 Program Administration and Support This work element addresses the administrative and support functions for SEMPO, such as the UPWP, coordination of third party services, public outreach, education and training. Table 7: Program Administration and Support 1.1 Program Support $ 76,558 1.2 Public Outreach $ 21,874 1.3 Education and Training $ 10,937 Subtotal $109,369 1.1 Program Support 1.1.1 Lead Agency: SEMPO staff with support via consulting contract with KLG Engineering, LLC 1.1.2 Objective: SEMPO will conduct its activities in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local laws as well as its own plans and programs. The UPWP will be prepared SEMPO FY 2026 UPWP 10 and adopted annually, and will serve as the basis for the transportation planning process, including technical and administrative support. SEMPO will participate in meetings with other agencies to ensure that its transportation planning process is properly coordinated with statewide and regional processes, and to provide input on matters affecting transportation in Southeast Missouri. In January 2020, the City of Cape Girardeau established a full time SEMPO Executive Director/City Grant Coordinator position. The position is structured to dedicate sixty percent of its time on SEMPO related tasks and forty percent on City grant coordination. Establishment of this position provides SEMPO with a dedicated staff member. In previous years, the City of Cape Girardeau’s City Planner fulfilled these administrative duties with the assistance of KLG Engineering, LLC via a general services agreement established through a competitive request for qualifications process. Establishing a dedicated Executive Director position lessens the demand for outside consultant assistance for administrative services but does not completely eliminate the need. KLG Engineering retains a general services agreement through December 2026 and will be utilized as necessary to assist in the administrative service delivery to SEMPO. 1.1.3 Program Activities: a.

The Clean Air Act, which was last amended in 1990, requires EPA to set National Ambient Air Quality Standards for pollutants considered harmful to public health and the environment. The EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) has set National Ambient Air Quality Standards for six principal pollutants, which are called "criteria" pollutants. The current standards for these criteria pollutants are detailed in the 2021 – 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan. Of the six pollutants, particulate matter and ozone are most affected by the transportation system. While particulate matter is well under the standard in the Cape Girardeau area, ozone remains a contaminant of concern. As of the approval date for this document, the Cape Girardeau/Jackson Urbanized Area is currently in attainment (within compliance of ambient air quality standards), and the SEMPO staff will proceed with its work this year under that attainment designation. A change in the air quality designation for the Cape Girardeau/Jackson Urbanized Area is not expected to occur in FY2027 (June 30, 2026 – July 1, 2027); however, this situation could change in future years. 3.6.3 Program Activities: a. Monitor the ongoing discussions about possible non-attainment status for the Cape Girardeau/Jackson Urbanized Area and work with EPA, MoDOT, FHWA, FTA and other agencies to revise MPO plans, reports and processes so the Cape Girardeau/Jackson Urbanized Area is in compliance with air quality regulations (as needed). 3.6.4 Work Products: a.

Staff: Ryan Shrimplin, City Planner Agenda: May 4, 2026 AGENDA REPORT Cape Girardeau City Council TITLE BILL NO. 26-39, an Ordinance approving the record plat of Prominence I Subdivision. First Reading. DEV - Ryan Shrimplin SUMMARY A record plat has been submitted for Prominence I Subdivision, located at 3101 County Road 620 and zoned R-1 (Single-Family Suburban Residential). The plat creates 12 single-family residential lots and one common ground lot for a stormwater detention basin. It also dedicates right-of-way for one new public street (Red Dog Drive) and a portion of an existing street (County Road 620). The plat shows a variance for the omission of the required front setback along the south line of the Misty Hollow Lane ingress/egress easement. Staff supports the variance because the easement extends 25 feet into the lots and serves as a de facto setback because structures are not allowed in the easement. Imposing a 30-foot front setback from the easement line would drastically reduce the buildable area of the lots. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The staff report to the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of the record plat. BOARD OR COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning & Zoning Commission, at its May 8, 2024 meeting, recommended approval of the record plat by a vote of 8 in favor, 0 in opposition, and 0 abstaining.

First Reading. DEV - Ryan Shrimplin SUMMARY A rezoning application has been submitted for the property at 306, 308, 406, and 450 North Main Street and the adjacent parcel to the north. The applicant is requesting that the property be rezoned from M-1 (Light Manufacturing/Industrial District) to CBD (Central Business District). The immediately surrounding properties are zoned PD (Planned Development District) to the north, M-1 (Light Manufacturing/Industrial District) and CBD (Central Business District) to the east, CBD (Central Business District) to the south, and M-1 (Light Manufacturing/Industrial District) and CBD (Central Business District) to the west. This area is characterized by residential, commercial, and religious uses. The Cape Vision 2040 Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map shows the subject property as Urban Mixed Use. The attached ordinance rezones the property to CBD. A public hearing on the rezoning request was held on May 4, 2026. SUSTAINABILITY: ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS In considering a rezoning request, the Planning & Zoning Commission and the City Council must determine if the proposed zoning district is reasonable and in reasonable conformity with the existing uses and value of the immediately surrounding properties. The subject property is located on the east side of North Main Street between a townhouse development and Century Casino. A portion of it contains non-residential buildings and other improvements; the rest of it is vacant land. The property was used for manufacturing/industrial and/or commercial uses until recently. It is now vacant. The property is proposed to be redeveloped for buildings containing commercial uses on the ground floor and residential uses on the upper levels. The current M-1 zoning does not allow residential uses. The proposed CBD zoning allows both commercial and residential uses. Additionally, CBD is the zoning equivalent of the Urban Mixed Use future land use category in the Comprehensive Plan. It is for these reasons that the proposed zoning district is reasonable and in reasonable conformity with the existing uses and value of the immediately surrounding properties. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The staff report to the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning request. BOARD OR COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing at its April 8, 2026 meeting and recommended approval of the rezoning request by a vote of 5 in favor, 0 in opposition, and 2 abstaining. PUBLIC OUTREACH The City Council's public hearing was advertised in the Southeast Missourian on April 11, 2026. In addition, a sign displaying the date, time, location, and subject of the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council public hearings was posted on the property.
