Kansas City, Mo.’s environmental review process is federally mandated by the Housing and Urban Development Department. The City acts on behalf of HUD in ensuring compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and follows the procedures outlined in 24 CFR Part 58.
The objective of the review process is to ensure that due diligence has been undertaken in identifying potential environmental impacts associated with projects that use HUD funds. Both beneficial and adverse impacts can result from projects.
Beneficial impacts Adverse impacts
construction of affordable housing destruction of wetlands
repairs to existing housing destruction of native vegetation
elimination of blighting influences destruction of historic properties
restoration of wildlife habitat exposing residents to excessive noise
eradication of invasive plant species exposing residents to flood hazards
It is important to understand what conditions exist on a proposed site so that environmental impacts can be addressed. This helps make projects the best they can be for those who will ultimately utilize the sites. For more information or to set up an appointment with staff at City Hall, call 816-513-1332.
