5. A. Amend Zoning Regulations: Communication Structures
Background Information:
Senate Substitute for House Bill No. 2131 was recently passed by the
Kansas Legislature. The bill affects how the city regulates wireless
communications facilities.
One of the significant impacts of the bill is that it allows wireless
communications facilities to have access to use the public right-of-way
3
communications facilities to have access to use the public right-of-way
in a manner that is similar to other public utilities.
Derby's public right-of-way is zoned and therefore, many of the
regulations affecting wireless communications facilities are within the
city's zoning regulations.
The state law takes effect October 1, 2016, and therefore staff has prepared
a number of proposed amendments to ensure compliance with state law, and
to eliminate potentially confusing or contradictory language within the
existing regulations.
In addition to the zoning regulations, the city's ordinance regulating
management of the public right-of-way also affects utilities and wireless
communications infrastructure proposed within the right-of-way.
City staff is recommending that an in depth analysis of the zoning
regulations is needed in order to consider the broader implications of how
wireless communications facilities are regulated, the result of which will
likely include creation of a new section of the zoning regulations.
Proposed amendments to the text of the zoning regulations require a public
hearing:
Notice of the required public hearing was published in the Derby
Informer on August 10, 2016.
Because the proposed amendments to the zoning regulations are
general in nature and do not affect specific properties, notices are not
mailed to individual property owners.
It is anticipated that city staff may need to make general corrections to
spacing, numbering or formatting of the regulations to properly incorporate
the proposed amendments. Staff recommends that general authority be
granted to city staff to make non-substantive corrections after Planning
Commission review and before City Council consideration.
Staff Comments:
Listed below is a summary of proposed amendments:
Article 2, Section 202 "Definitions"
The definition of "height, maximum" includes a list of exceptions
to the maximum height restrictions. The proposed amendment
relocates the list of exceptions to Article 3, Section 302.E "Bulk
Regulations."
The definition for "public utility uses" clarifies that "poles" means
"utility poles" and a new definition for "utility poles" is
provided. The definition also adds "communication structures" as
a public utility use.
"Communication structure" is added as a new definition. The
definition is consistent with the definition for "wireless support
structure" as used in Senate Substitute for House Bill No. 2131.
4
New definitions for "utility pole" and "monopole" are
recommended. The definitions clarify and create distinction
between utility poles and other types of poles or towers.
Article 3, Section 300.E "Exemptions"
Subsection 300.E.1 clarifies that "poles" is intended to mean
"utility poles." It clarifies that utility poles that are exempt from
the regulations are those that are less than 60 feet in height and
less than 24 inches in diameter.
Subsection 300.E.1 further clarifies that "communication
structures" are not exempt, which is consistent with other types of
utility substations.
A new subsection "2" is added to exempt monopole structures
that are less than 60 feet in height when located within the public
right-of-way adjacent to B-3, B-4, B-5 or M-1 zoning districts.
Monopole structures that are proposed to be located within the
right-of-way are still subject to the city's ordinance and other
regulations providing for management of the public right-of-way.
Article 3, Section 302.E "Bulk Regulations"
Subsection 1.a of this Section is divided into two parts in order to
separate maximum lot coverage and maximum structure height
into distinct subsections.
New subsection 1.b addresses only maximum structure height. A
list of structure types that are allowed to exceed the bulk
regulations of the zoning district in which the structure is located
was relocated to this section (previously in definition for height,
maximum).
Subsections 3, 4 and 5 clarify that separate approvals (exception
or special use) are needed in order to allow certain structures to
exceed the maximum height restrictions of the zoning district in
which they are located.
Article 3, Section 303.G "Lot Size Requirements and Bulk Regulations
for Public Utility Facilities"
"Public utility facilities" is changed to "public utility uses" for
consistency with other sections.
A reference to the definition for "height, maximum" is removed
and instead references the maximum structure heights specified
for the zoning district in which the structure is located unless
otherwise exempted.
"Distribution centers" was added to "electric and telephone
substations" for consistency with other sections.
"Communication structures" was added to this section for
inclusion with other types of public utility uses.
Article 6, Section 600.B (regarding bulk regulations for accessory
structures)
Removes a reference to the definition for "height, maximum" and
5
instead references Section 302.E where the exceptions to
structure height are proposed to be relocated.
Article 11, Section 1101.C "Eligible Special Uses"
The table for eligible special uses is updated to correct a conflict
resulting from "communication structures" being listed twice.
"Communication structures that are not mounted on the roof or
directly secured to a wall of a principal building" are proposed to
be permitted as special uses only in B-3, B-4, B-5 and M-1
zoning districts.
Recommend a Motion to:
Adopt the recommended amendments to the text of the zoning regulations
as presented, authorize city staff to make necessary adjustments to
numbering, spacing, and formatting, and forward a recommendation of
approval to the City Council.
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
Commissioner Adams opened the public hearing and determined that a
quorum was present.
Cody Bird, City Planner announced that proper notice had been given in
accordance with State law.
Adams asked Commissioners to report any ex parte communications. There
were no ex parte communications reported.
Bird presented the staff report.
Adams acknowledged that there were no individuals that had signed up to
speak during the public hearing. He asked if anyone in attendance desired to
share any public comments. No public comments were provided
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
Commissioner Adams asked how best to proceed with discussion and in what
order the Commission should address the report.
Cody Bird, City Planner replied that the Commission could discuss the
proposed amendments by article, or could go line by line in the draft
amendments.
Adams said he was comfortable with following the order by article as presented
in the staff report. He asked if it was appropriate for questions to be asked as the
discussion progressed.
Bird answered that questions could be asked at any time.
Bird began the discussion by explaining the proposed the proposed
amendments.
Adams pointed out that Section 300.E.1 is intended to clarify that "poles"
6
means "utility poles" are exempt is less than 60 ft. in height and less than 24
inches in diameter. Monopole structures allowed in the right-of-way adjacent to
certain zoning districts includes the 60 ft. height restriction, but does not
include the 24 inch diameter requirement. He asked if the diameter requirement
was intentionally omitted.
Bird answered yes. There are some monopoles that exceed 24 inches in
diameter that are needed to support heavy wires, or where overhead wires
change direction. Because of this need, the diameter requirement was
intentionally not included. In addition to the zoning regulations, the City also
has a right-of-way ordinance which regulates use of the right-of-way. The City
also has franchise agreements with utility providers which can stipulate
additional restrictions and guidelines. The zoning regulations being discussed
tonight will not be the only document used to regulate utility poles, but will be
the primary tool used to regulate pole heights.
Commissioner Baer asked that since monopole structures are allowed within
the right-of-way adjacent to B-3, B-4, B-5, and M-1 zones, will this prevent the
engineering department from determining that these poles will endanger the
public's health and safety?
Bird answered that the City will still have the ability to require right-of-way
permits and will review placement to ensure the public health, safety, and
welfare is protected.
Bird continued to explain proposed amendments to Article 3.
Baer asked if the definition of "communication structures" clearly identifies the
difference between a telecommunication structure for a major wireless provider
and a personal radio antenna?
Bird clarified that personal communication devices are covered in article 10 of
the regulations and are typically only allowed as an exception in residential
districts.
Commissioner Willis asked if it is possible to delineate commercial vs.
residential or private communication structures or if that is even necessary?
Bird explained that the exception provisions apply only to personal
communication structures. The exception procedures is not intended for
commercial structures to be located in a residential district. From a practical
standpoint, it is generally not going to be feasible to locate personal
communication structures in a right-of-way.
Willis asked if private individuals could place a personal utility pole in an
easement in their backyard.
Bird explained that easements are different than right-of-ways. The state law is
only related to road right-of-ways, which does not include utility easements in
backyards.
Bird continued to proposed amendments to Article 6. Recommended changes
include updating a reference to Section 302.E for height restrictions. Bird also
explained that other bulk regulations including setbacks and lot coverage were
not edited would still apply as specified for the zoning districts.
Bird continued with Section 1101.C. The "eligible special uses" table is
7
proposed to be updated to only allow free-standing communication structures in
B-3, B-4, B-5, and M-1 zones. Bird clarified that a special use is similar to a
zone change reqeust and requires a public hearing, notification, Planning
Commission and City Council approval.
Commissioner Rhein asked if requiring co-location on communication towers
is addressed in the zoning regulations.
Bird answered that co-location the City's zoning regulations do not currently
contain any requirements for co-location. The new State law that takes into
effect October 1st specifically removes the city's ability to require co-location.
Private parties may still choose to enter into agreements to co-locate, but local
governments cannot require companies to do so.
Rhein asked if other types of utilities commonly co-locate. Is that a private
matter, or does it need City approval?
Bird answered that he was not aware if the City has required other types of
utilities to co-locate in the past, but clarified that the new State law only relates
to wireless communications, and the the City cannot require companies to
co-locate.
Willis asked why the City would be concerned about co-location.
Bird answered that historically, cities have required companies to co-locate on
existing towers to minimize the overall number of new towers in a city. It is
most frequently related to community aesthetics.
Willis asked if is there a disadvantage to the City if four or fourteen
units/companies co-locate on one tower.
Bird answered there is generally no disadvantage to multiple co-locations,
however, the City can no longer require such co-locations as a result of the new
State law.
Commissioner Gould asked if the County is also updating their
telecommunication regulations. He asked if there would be any conflicts when
dealing with tower locations within the city's zoning area of influence.
Bird answered that Wichita and Sedgwick county are in the same process of
updating their wireless communication codes and regulations. He added that
Wichita and Sedgwick County have a master wireless communications plan,
and he is not sure how such cases would be handled in relationship to those
existing plans.
Commissioner Renberger asked what the new State law says about the use of
right-of-ways in residential areas and how high-density residential areas could
be impacted as possible prime locations for towers to handle data traffic.
Bird answered that among other matters, the new State law addresses the use of
"distributed antenna systems." Distributed antenna systems include amplifiers
(similar to "hot spots" or booster stations) and a central tower. Amplifiers are
typically placed on existing utility poles which are allowed in the right-of-way
and have a minimal visual impact. The proposed amendments to the zoning
regulations are primarily focused on the visual impact of the larger towers.
Renberger elaborated that companies could ask for additional coverage in
residential areas and if the City cannot require co-location, it could result in
8
major carriers building multiple towers in a residential area. Ultimately, the
construction of multiple utility poles could endanger the aesthetics of a
neighborhood.
Bird replied that a provider would still need to submit an application for the
use of a right-of-way. The review process for right-of-way permits does
consider various limiting factors related to the installation of new poles. Such
considerations could include locations of existing utilities and the general
public's health, safety, and welfare. Resident concerns are also a factor that can
be considered in the decision to approve or deny the application.
Rhein referred to residential neighborhoods where utilities are installed
underground and do not typically have electric poles. She asked how the City
regulates how utilities such as Westar Energy are required to be installed
underground?
Bird answered that the City enters into a franchise agreement with Westar
Energy. The agreement specifies a threshold for how many kilovolts a line is
carrying, and if the line is under the threshold, it must be installed
underground. If the line is over the threshold, such as main transmission lines
to/from the substation on Rock Rd., it is allowed to remain above ground on
poles.
Bird followed up regarding Mr. Renberger's prior question: In residential
neighborhoods where utilities are underground, there are still street light poles
which could be utilized by wireless providers to co-locate amplifiers. The City
just could not require such co-locations under the new State law.
Adams asked if the Commission had any further questions. There were none.
Moved by Larry Gould, seconded by Pat Baer to adopt the recommended
amendments to the text of the zoning regulations as presented, authorize city
staff to make necessary adjustments to numbering, spacing, and formatting,
and forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council.

Planning Commission Meeting 5.A.
Meeting Date: 09/15/2016
Submitted By: Everett Haynes, Assistant City Planner
Agenda Category: New Business
Subject:
Vacate Complete Access Control on Lot 32, Block N, The Oaks Addition
General Location:
Northeast corner of Lookout Pl. and Lookout St.
Applicant/Agent:
Applicant: Jacob Schmidt
Reason for Request:
To allow construction of a driveway with access to Lookout St.
Background Information:
The owner of Lot 32, Block N, The Oaks Addition has requested vacation of platted
complete access control to facilitate construction of a driveway with access to
Lookout St.
The owner has submitted plans for construction of a house facing Lookout Pl. The
plans propose a side-loading garage with a driveway accessing Lookout St.
Complete access control is platted along the entire south line of the property.
Access controls are typically intended to limit vehicle turning movements from
private property onto streets or highways in areas where there is a need to
preserve traffic service and safety by reducing the number of turning
movements.
The property was originally platted with access control along Lookout St. since
the roadway will serve as a minor collector street serving the neighborhood.
The curve of the street east of the property may also have been a consideration
in the decision to plat access control.
The property is zoned R-1 “Single-Family Residential District.” The owner of the
property intends to develop the property for uses permitted within the R-1 zoning
district.
Strict enforcement of the access control as platted would allow a driveway to be
constructed with access to Lookout Pl. (cul-de-sac side) but not to Lookout St. (the
through street).
Approval of the requested vacation would allow the owner to construct a driveway
with access to Lookout St., thus allowing the side-loading garage proposed.
11
Staff Comments:
It is not uncommon for corner lots in residential districts to be platted with either
access control on one side, or 25 ft. building setbacks on both sides facing streets.
Access control is typically used to indicate which side of the lot is intended to
be the front by limiting access to the other side.
In contrast, platting 25 ft. setbacks on both sides of the street allows flexibility
for the owner to choose which side will be the front side. The additional
setback ensures that vehicles parked in driveways do not overhang the street
right-of-way line, and do not interfere with vision triangles at the intersection.
The property was originally intended to have the front facing Lookout Pl.
(cul-de-sac), but this is not a requirement if the property is developed in
accordance with all other applicable district regulations.
Other lots located along Lookout St. have driveway access to the street. The
requested vacation would allow construction of a driveway consistent with other lots
in the neighborhood.
Traffic volume and speed at this location are expected to be typical of residential
subdivisions. Allowing the property to have additional access to Lookout St. is not
anticipated to create any undue traffic congestion or turning conflicts.
If the vacation request is approved, development of the lot must still comply with
standard zoning regulations for the district, including building setbacks, off-street
parking, and paving requirements.
Design and location of the driveway will be reviewed as part of the building permit.
Vacation requests require a public hearing:
Notice of the public hearing was provided in accordance with State law. The
notice was published in the City’s official newspaper on August 24, 2016.
Notices were mailed to affected property owners on August 23, 2016.
At the time of this writing, staff received one phone call from a neighbor asking
why the vacation was being requested. Staff explained the desire for the
driveway access. The neighbor did not express any concerns and neither
supported nor opposed the request.
At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Planning Commission should adopt a
resolution stating its recommendation, with or without conditions, and announce the
date upon which the City Council will consider the requested vacation.
A draft resolution was prepared by staff based upon staff's review of the
vacation request and approval recommended by staff. The draft resolution is
attached.
The Planning Commission may instruct staff to modify the resolution as
necessary to reflect the decision of the Commission.
Recommend a Motion to:
Adopt a resolution recommending vacation of complete access control along the
12
Adopt a resolution recommending vacation of complete access control along the
south line of Lot 32, Block N, The Oaks Addition and forward the resolution to the
City Council for consideration.
