Conditional Use to permit a 125-tall monopole tower on property zoned LC Limited Commercial
and generally located north of Harry and east of Rock (1214 N. Rock Rd.).
Recommended Action: Based upon the information available prior to the public hearings,
planning staff recommends that the request be APPROVED subject to the following conditions.
A. The applicant shall obtain all permits necessary to construct the Wireless Communication
Facility, and the Wireless Communication Facility shall be erected within one year of
approval of the Conditional Use by the Governing Body.
B. The support structure shall be a “monopole” design that is silver or gray or a similar
unobtrusive color with a matte finish to minimize glare.
C. The support structure shall be no taller than 125 feet in height, plus an additional five (5) feet
for lightning suppression equipment.
D. The equipment compound shall be screened with a six (6) to eight (8) foot tall solid screening
fence.
E. A site plan and elevation drawing indicating the approved design of the Wireless
Communication Facility shall be submitted for approval by the Planning Director within 60
days of approval of the Conditional Use by the Governing Body and prior to the issuance of
the Conditional Use Resolution.
F. The site shall be developed in general conformance with the approved site plans. All
improvements shall be completed before the facility becomes operational.
G. The applicant shall obtain FAA approval regarding “objects affecting navigable airspace” and
“impacts to terminal instrument procedures” for the proposed wireless communication
facility and shall comply with all conditions of FAA approval. The applicant shall submit a
copy of FAA approval to the Metropolitan Area Building and Construction Department prior
to the issuance of a building permit.
H. The applicant shall obtain a Wichita Airport Hazard Zoning Permit Exemption for Area B
from the Metropolitan Area Building and Construction Department prior to the issuance of a

MOTION PASSED 9-0
9. CUP2016-00022: Scott Knebel, Senior Planner, MAPD, presented the request for City CUP
Major Amendment to DP-62 to increase the permitted residential density on Parcel 8, generally
located south and west of the intersection of East 21st Street North and North Rock Road on the
east side of North Broadmoor Street.
DAB: No left turns out of complex on to Rock Rd?
Staff: Correct. Only at Rockhill signal
DAB: Will there be a signal at 21st and Broadmoor?
Staff: A traffic study must be completed and any improvements needed must be done by the
applicant.
Terry and Deanne Culp, 7106 E. Chadowes voiced their concerns over street parking along
Broadmoor/Rockhill and the traffic backup and dangerous left turns at 21st and Broadmoor.
Brian Lindebak, MKEC, representing several adjacent property owners voiced their concerns
over the impact on traffic and requested improvements be made to 21st and Broadmoor.
Chris McElgunn, agent for the applicant, addressed the concerns of citizens and DAB members.
His client is willing to petition for No Parking signs along Broadmoor/Rockhill. There is plenty
adequate parking on-site.
Recommended Action: Staff notes that the provisions of the Unified Zoning Code (UZC) could
permit up to 1,820 residential units to be developed within the CUP. The requested overall
density of the CUP remains 40 percent below what could be allowed by the underlying MF-18
zoning. Prior to the public hearing, the only issues raised regarding the request concerned
potential negative impacts on traffic in the area if the additional 168 units are permitted. The
actual traffic impacts of the proposed development cannot be determined without a traffic study.
Other developments in the area have been required to pay for improvements to address traffic
impacts. It is staff’s opinion that is reasonable to require the same for the proposed apartment
expansion. Based upon information available prior to the public hearings, planning staff
recommends that the proposed CUP amendment be APPROVED, subject to the following
conditions:
A. The following shall be added to General Provision #10, “Prior to the issuance of a building permit
for additional units on Parcel 8a, the applicant shall complete a traffic study of the impacts of the
additional units on vehicular, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit transportation in the area and shall
guarantee the improvements made necessary by the proposed apartment expansion as approved
by the City Engineer.”
B. The “Density” listed for Parcels 8a, 8b, and 9 shall be removed from the CUP in lieu of the
overall permitted density for the three parcels stated in General Provision #10.

C. Four copies of the approved CUP shall be submitted to the Metropolitan Area Planning
Department within 60 days after approval of this case by the MAPC or Governing Body, as
applicable, or the request shall be considered denied and closed.
Action Taken: Motion made by Callen to APPROVE the application based on staff
recommendations set forth above. Seconded by Goseland.
