4. CUP2012-07
Dale Miller, Planning Department provided information in regard to potential
amendment to Parcel 3, DP-200 Wilson Property N. E. Commercial Community Unit Plan to
permit a “Nightclub in the City.
Background: Hartmoor Italian, LLC, owns Parcel 3 of the Wilson Property N. E. Commercial
Community Unit Plan (CUP), DP-200, located 380 feet south of East 21st Street North, west of
North Webb Road. Parcel 3 is 1.37 acres in size, and is zoned LC Limited Commercial (“LC”),
subject to the development standards detailed in DP-200, and is developed with a building that
houses a private restaurant operated by Lakeside Private Club, LLC. Currently the
development standards for a private restaurant in Parcel 3 are limited to some very specific
requirements: alcohol service is limited to a restaurant that is open only to private membership
(a Class B club); the dance floor is to have less than 450 square feet and the bandstand for live
music or a DJ is limited to a maximum size of 32 square feet (CUP Administrative Adjustment
2011-00033, approved September 27, 2011). The applicant wants the restaurant, which will
offer the service of alcohol and dancing, to operate as a “drinking establishment” and “caterer”
that is regulated by an open to the public license rather than as a Class B private club that is not
open to the public. The applicant’s are willing to maintain the area limitations on the dance
floor and on the DJ or bandstand.
Per the Wichita-Sedgwick County Unified Zoning Code (“UZC”) a “nightclub in the city” is an
“entertainment establishment” located in the City that provides entertainment, which may
include the provision of dancing by employees or patrons, and where cereal malt beverage or
alcoholic liquor are offered, consumed or served to the public or its members, and which may
or may not serve food. In general, any establishment offering the consumption of alcohol, live
entertainment and/or dancing is defined as a “nightclub in the city.” As currently zoned, Parcel
3 is not permitted to have a “nightclub in the city.” The applicants are requesting an
amendment to Parcel 3, DP-200 to add “nightclub in the city” to the list permitted uses allowed
in Parcel 3.
In addition to the private restaurant use described above, Parcel 3 currently permits:
neighborhood shopping center including financial institutions, restaurants, retail stores, medical
and dental clinics, clothing stores, offices, pharmacies, dry cleaning, laundry barber shops,
beauty shops, tailors, studios, shoe shops, day care, fitness centers, and all other uses similar in
character and intensity. If approved, this amendment would eliminate those public restrictions
imposed by CUP Administrative Adjustment 2011-00033. Except for the private restaurant
with alcohol service, dancing and live music, the other parcels located within DP-200 permit
similar uses as Parcel 3; however, a few of the parcels are limited to general office and medical
service uses only.
Properties located to north of the application area are defined as Parcels 1, 2 and 4 of DP-200.
Parcels 1 and 2 are zoned LC and are developed with a drug store and a bank. Parcel 1 permits
the following uses: restaurants, retail shops, banks and financial institutions, offices, medical
and dental offices or clinics, pharmacies, small animal clinics, and all other uses similar in
character and intensity. Parcel 2 permits some of the same uses as Parcel 1 but also permits:
laundry, barber and beauty shops, tailor, day care and fitness centers. Parcel 4 is zoned GO
General Office (“GO”) and the parcel’s uses are limited to general office and medical services.
Parcel 4 is developed with a medical office building. Land located to the west of the subject
site is zoned GO, and is Reserve B. Reserve B uses are limited to: detention pond, drainage,
open space, fountains, landscaping, gazebos, walks, utilities confined to easements, and
pedestrian and street lighting. Reserve B is developed with a drainage detention pond and
sidewalk. Land located south of the application area, across a private street, is zoned LC, and is
designated as Parcels 12 and 12-A. Parcel 12 is developed with a bank. Parcel 12-A is vacant.
Uses permitted on Parcels 12 and 12-A are similar to Parcel 2, described above. The property
located to the east, across Webb Road, is zoned LC subject to DP-213, and is developed with a
small shopping center containing restaurants, retail sales, convenience store and office uses.
The UZC permits a “nightclub in the city” in the LC zoning district subject to Supplementary
Use Regulation III-D.6.w. Section III-D.6.w states that a “night club in the city” requires a
public hearing if the night club is proposed to be located within 300 feet (measured lot line to
lot line) of a church, public park, school, or residential zoning district. In this instance, there
are lots zoned SF-5 Single-family Residential (“SF-5”) located approximately 250 feet south of
the application area (Legacy Park Wilson Estates Addition). The homes are located farther
south of the vacant lot and bank (located south of the application area) noted earlier. The
amendment that is the subject of this application constitutes the required public hearing for a
“night club in the city.”
In comparison to a “nightclub in the city,” a “tavern and drinking establishment” is an
establishment engaged in the preparation and retail sale of alcoholic liquor or cereal malt
beverage for consumption on the premises that derives in a six-month period less than fifty
percent of its gross revenues from the sale of food and beverages for consumption on the
premises. For the purposes of the UZC, the term “tavern and drinking establishment” shall
include Class B Clubs (clubs open to members only). In general, a “tavern and drinking
establishment” permits the service of alcohol but does not allow for dancing and/or live
entertainment.
CASE HISTORY: The property is platted as Legacy Park Wilson Estates Addition, recorded
June 27, 2000, and Legacy Park Wilson Estates Second Addition, recorded January 15, 2003.
DP-200 was approved November 5, 1991, and has been adjusted and amended at least eight
times.
ADJACENT ZONING AND LAND USE:
NORTH: LC and GO, subject to DP-200; drug store, bank, offices
SOUTH: LC, subject to DP-200; bank, vacant
EAST: LC, subject to DP-213; convenience store, restaurants, retail sales and
WEST: GO, subject to DP-200; detention pond

Recommended Action: The DAB voted (5-1) with (1) member abstaining for approval.
5. ZON2012-08
Derrick Slocum, Planning Department provided information in regard to potential
zone change from SF-5 Single-Family Residential to TF-1 Two-family Residential
(“TF-3) located northwest of the intersection of East Central Avenue and North 159th
Street East.
BACKGROUND: The applicant requests a zone change from SF-5 Single-family
Residential (“SF-5”) to TF-3 Two-family Residential (“TF-3”) on 0.63 acres consisting
of Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4, Block 2, Terradyne West 3rd Addition to Wichita, Sedgwick
County, Kansas. The subject site is located west of 159th Street East and north of
Sharon Lane, 1/3 mile north of Central Avenue. The applicant proposes to develop the
property with single-family and / or duplexes. The property has been zoned SF-5 since
2006 but has remained vacant. The applicant is of the opinion that rezoning the
property would increase the marketability of the lots without harming the owners of the
few lots that have already sold.
Property north of the site is zoned MF-18 Multi-family Residential (“MF-18”), and is
currently undeveloped. South of the site is property zoned SF-5, and is currently
developed with a single-family residence. Property to the west of the site is also zoned
SF-5, and is developed with a golf course/country club use. Property to the east of the
site, across North 159th Street East, is in Butler County, and is developed as a golf
course/country club.
CASE HISTORY: The site is Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4, Block 2, Terradyne West 3rd
Addition to Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas, which was recorded with the Register
of Deeds July 6, 2010. Lot 35, Block 2, through Lot 47, Block 2, and Lot 34, Block 2,
except the South 42.79 feet thereof, all in Terradyne West now Lots 5, 6 and 7, Block 2
and Lot 1 Block 3 of the Terradyne West 3rd Addition was rezoned from SF-5 to MF-18
February 2010 (ZON2009-00039). The site is located outside of the floodplain and was
annexed into the City of Wichita in October of 2006.
ADJACENT ZONING AND LAND USE:
NORTH: MF-18 Vacant Residential
SOUTH: SF-5 Single-family Residences
EAST: Butler County Country Club/Residences
WEST: SF-5 Golf Course
Recommended Action: The DAB voted (7-0) for approval of project.
