City of Olathe Planning & Zoning Update | March 2026 Industrial Development & Growth Plan

In this Zoning Watch episode of The Kansas City Market Pulse, host Logan Freeman breaks down the March 23, 2026 Olathe Planning Commission meeting. The March 9 meeting was canceled for lack of items.

Olathe keeps doubling down on industrial and logistics along the Lone Elm corridor while setting a long-term framework in its comprehensive plan.

Episode Highlights:

• 175th and Lone Elm Center: A 66.7-acre final plat tied to Lineage Logistics for a large cold storage facility, with over 55 acres on the primary lot.
• Hedge Industrial Park East: An approximately 80-acre industrial development near W. 167th Street and Lone Elm Road.
• Comprehensive Plan: A 15-year plan built from input from more than 4,000 community participants, headed to City Council in April.

Industrial is leading, and Olathe is putting the framework in place to guide growth for the next decade and beyond.
