5. CON2020-00017
Matt Williams, Associate Planner, Metropolitan Area Planning Department presented an application
on behalf of Maisch Theodore Living Trust (applicant) and Robert W. Kaplan (agent) for a City Conditional
Use to allow Outdoor Vehicle and Equipment Sales on property zoned LC Limited Commercial generally
located on the north side of West 31st Street South and one block west of South Broadway Avenue (3149
S. Old Lawrence Rd.).

03%20DAB%203%20CON2020-00017%20Staff%20Report.pdf
The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission public hearing for this item will be on June 18, 2020.
The agent was in attendance.
DAB and members of the public asked and made the following summarized questions and comments:
Q (DAB): Is this in the character of the surrounding neighborhood?
A (Williams): Yes.
C (DAB): I think this has been empty for about 10 years. It was most recently a hole-in-the-wall bar.
Q (DAB): The property at 31st and Broadway has been vacant for many years as well. Is there a reason
the applicant did not consider that property?
DAB 3 • June 3, 2020 • Minutes • Page 2
A (Agent): I cannot answer that. My client, the trust that owns that property, is largely involved with all of
his properties. It probably amounts to simply lacking an appropriate tenant. That is the best answer I can
give you without my client present.
C (DAB): At 31st and Broadway there is a well-established car lot, and now we are talking about adding a
car lot business when our DAB has expressed over and over that we do not need to add more car lots or
mechanics in this area of town. That is my only concern; though I do not want to stop someone from
making money or providing a viable business.
A (Agent): It would be a far less dense and obtrusive use than what could otherwise be put in a Limited
Commercial area.
C (DAB): I support a business here, because vacant properties can invite blight. I live in the neighborhood
and feel this in an improvement.
C (Public): Anything is better than a vacant building.
C (Public): The property has been in disuse for 10 years and has not attracted crime yet.
Action Taken: Motion made by Ron Tracy and seconded by Bruce Gass to APPROVE the application
with the listed conditions per staff’s recommendation. Motion to APPROVE PASSED 5-0-1.
6. ZON2020-00017
Williams presented an application on behalf of Wes Pechin / PICO, LLC (applicant) and Mark Savoy /
Savoy Company, P.A. (agent) for a City zone change from SF-5 Single-Family Residential to OW Office
Warehouse; generally located approximately ½ mile south of I-35 on the west side of South Hydraulic
Avenue (5398 S. Hydraulic) S. Wichita/Haysville Plan.

The MAPC public hearing for this item will be on June 18, 2020.
The applicant/agent was not in attendance.
DAB and members of the public asked and made the following summarized questions and comments:
Q (DAB): Is this property the laundry mat or the property adjacent to it?
A (Williams): It is the property adjacent to the laundry mat.
Q (DAB): Did notices go out to the surrounding homes?
A (Williams): Yes. Staff did not receive any feedback.
Q (DAB): Are there landscaping requirements?
A (Williams): Yes. It will have to follow the landscaping plan.
Action Taken: Motion made by Michael Loop and seconded by Ron Tracy to APPROVE the application
per staff’s recommendation. Motion to APPROVE PASSED 5-0-1.

7. ZON2020-00011
Williams presented an application on behalf of A1 Cameron III (applicant) for a City zone change from
SF-5 Single-Family Residential to GC General Commercial on property located 150 feet south of West
31sat Street South, 1500 feet west of South Broadway Avenue (3218 S. Waco).

03%20DAB%203%20ZON2020-00011%20Staff%20Report.pdf
The MAPC public hearing for this item will be on June 4, 2020.
The applicant/agent was not in attendance.
DAB was unanimously opposed to this application. DAB and members of the public felt as though current
site violations should not be condoned with a zone change and had little faith that the owner/tenant would
maintain the site. DAB cited concerns about the property becoming a junk yard and source of blight in the
area.
DAB and members of the public asked and made the following summarized questions and comments:
Q (CM Clendenin): Does the staff report allude to allowing an inhabited RV on site when it references a
5th wheel camper/trailer hookup?
A (Williams): I was not able to get information from the applicant if someone is going to try to live on site,
but General Commercial would allow for that.
C (DAB): It appears as though they are already living on site and are seeking a zone change to allow
them to continue to do so legally.
Q (DAB): How did the City find out about the violations going on at this property? Did neighbors
complain?
A (Williams): I do not have information on how we were made aware of violations, but typically they are
submitted as a complaint by residents.
C (DAB): That area is a junked area. The applicant was caught in violation, and now they want to get
permission to continue staying on that property as they are.
C (Public): I have always opposed legitimizing activities found to be in violation.
C (Public): This makes me nervous, though I do not live in the immediate neighborhood. It seems like
approval would be legitimizing a shanty. How will this property be improved by changing the zoning? It
does not sound like it will.
C (DAB): There is something similar on 55th Street, and that area has become nothing but a junk yard. I
do not think allowing that type of use is a good addition for a neighborhood. This area has that same
potential.
C (DAB): The place is owned by a roofing company, and I think they will store their surplus supplies on
site if it is allowed to become General Commercial.
C (Public): That sounds like a way for the owner to avoid dump fees.
DAB 3 • June 3, 2020 • Minutes • Page 4
C (DAB): The property is poorly maintained and covered in graffiti.
Action Taken: Motion made by Jared Cerullo and seconded by Bruce Gass to DENY the application
per staff’s recommendation. Motion to DENY PASSED 5-0-1.
8. 2021-2022 Proposed Budget
Elizabeth Goltry, Budget Officer, Finance presented an overview of the City’s 2021-2022 Proposed
Budget.
The City Manager is in the process of coordinating the development of the 2021-2022 Proposed Budget.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic the City of Wichita expects a reduction in General Fund revenue in the
2020 Revised Budget and the 2021-2022 Proposed Budget. The Wichita Budget Simulator will be
available for residents to provide feedback starting on June 11 and will be open for responses until June
30. The Social Media Town Hall on June 23 will provide another opportunity for residents to give
feedback on the budget. Community input is being sought at District Advisory Board meetings in June
prior to the 2021-2022 Proposed Budget being finalized in July.
The DAB meeting provided an overview of the current financial environment, with a review of City
revenue forecasts and expenditure trends. Revenue decreases are forecasted for nearly all categories.
The largest impact is expected in sales tax, fines and penalties, and interest earnings. Due to the budget
deficit, resident feedback about service priorities is important.
The Proposed Budget is scheduled to be presented on July 14 after all input and discussion have been
evaluated and recommended changes are made. A public hearing will be held on August 4 and budget
adoption will follow on August 11.
Budget Presentation: https://www.wichita.gov/Council/DABAgendasMinutes/2020-06-
03%20DAB%203%20Budget%20Presentation.pdf
DAB and members of the public asked and made the following questions and comments:
Q (DAB): The County is receiving $100 million in federal funds for COVID-19. Will the City receive any of
that?
A (Goltry): It is my understanding that those funds are to be used as a direct response to COVID-19.
A (CM Clendenin): The County is not obligated to provide cities with any of that funding.
C (DAB): I do not think the tall grass and weed (TGW) budget should be cut.
C (CM Clendenin): Other council members have shared similar concerns.
Q (Public): How, if at all, does cutting the TGW budget affect the MABCD Community Liaison with
assisting lower-income families with tall grass, property cleanups, etc.?
A (CM Clendenin): It should not affect the budget for the MABCD Community Liaison at all.
Q (Public): What adjustments to animal control services are being considered?
A (Goltry): Many of our peer cities do not operate an animal shelter. An option would be to direct
voluntary intake elsewhere to allow WPD to focus on animal control.
C (Public): An independent shelter, that has no profit motive, is the best protection for companion
animals. While the Kansas Humane Society is a 501(c)3 organization, it is still a business.
DAB 3 • June 3, 2020 • Minutes • Page 5
C (DAB): If I had to make budget cuts, I would suggest postponing building any new streets. If we cannot
maintain the streets we currently have, we should not build new. Also, cuts should not be made to
MABCD code enforcement. We have constant conversations about how we are lacking in code
enforcement with the existing officers we currently have. I cannot imagine us trying to stay up on code
enforcement with two less people in those positions as suggested.
A (Goltry): So far our models push expansion projects into the future and prioritize maintenance.
Reductions to the CIP will be dramatic. It is good to check in with the community to make sure we stay on
the right path in regard to priorities.
Q (DAB): Are police paid out of our general fund? What fund would cover riot damages?
A (Goltry): WPD is paid for out of the general fund. If riots or vandalism to City property occurs, we have
insurance to cover damage and loses.
A (CM Clendenin): In the case of rioting, I do not think the City would be liable for property damage. It
would fall on the insurance of the property owner.
C (DAB): If the City or WPD tells officers to draw back, that sounds like a liability issue.
C (DAB): We already seem to be operating on a very lean budget. We do not have many City employees
making a significant salary.
C (DAB): The City Manager makes $250,000 annually.
C (CM Clendenin): Our City Manager’s salary is actually average for the position. We want to pay our
managers fair salaries to retain talent and expertise.
C (DAB): Mr. Layton is a good manager who has done a great job, but when we talk about budget
reductions it brings up the conversation about a council-manager form of government. It seems redundant
to have the type of government we have.
C (CM Clendenin): I will tell you there is no one on this council that has near the financial expertise or
ability to juggle 15 departments. It is my opinion the form of government we have is the most balanced.
The things the manager seems to be publically lambasted for are his responses to Council requests. He
gets grief for giving us solutions and answers to things we demand, and then it gets to the media and
people get upset. The reality is he is working with us, and it is most well-rounded form of government
available.
C (Public): In my opinion, the challenges facing the City undoubtedly add to the workload on managerial
staff persons, and this does not seem to be the time to be appearing to be unappreciative by reducing
their compensation.
C (Public): I think Wichita is doing a really good job at including citizens in the decision making process.
Action Taken: DAB and the public provided comment on the 2021-2022 Proposed Budget.

Board Agenda
9. Updates, Issues, and Reports
CM Clendenin shared he has few updates about Clapp Park due to COVID-19 slowing things down. He
said the Clapp consultants are working with the Park & Recreation Department to build off of the work the
Clapp Transformation Committee completed last year. He said the consultant will be putting together the
official plan and while requested public input may seem redundant to last year’s work, it is important to
continue to keep the public engaged for transparency and optimal feedback opportunities. Cindy Miles
DAB 3 • June 3, 2020 • Minutes • Page 6
shared concerns that the recent survey reduced lofty ideas to basic park amenities. CM Clendenin
responded that we will see a phased approach to planning and developing the park as the City cannot
afford to do everything upfront. He assured the DAB and public that the City Manager and Park &
Recreation Director are enthusiastic about Clapp Park and committed to investing in the project.
Ron Tracy asked what type of venue is going in to the Westway Shopping Center. Cindy Miles shared it
is likely a general venue/gathering place for weddings or reunions.
Bruce Gass shared the baseball stadium and surrounding area looks excellent and advised DAB and the
public to drive around to check it out.
Bruce Gass inquired about the level of our police staffing. CM Clendenin shared the City increased
funding and positions in last year’s budget and thinks we are likely up in staff, but due to retirement and
limited academy graduates, we likely do not have all of those positions filled. He stated that he and the
Chief hope to eventually overstaff police to cover retirements.
CM Clendenin shared that police are on mandatary 12-hour shifts without time off due to recent nation-
wide riots and looting. He stressed the local protests have been peaceful and are welcome as part of the
fundamental fabric of democracy.
Prior to the meeting adjourning a member of the public shared a resource he finds beneficial. He
suggested the DAB review information about Asset Based Community Development and view a free 30-
minute webinar titled “ABCD In Action.” He shared the discipline is relevant to all zip codes, but is
especially helpful to improving low-income communities. He provided the following link:
https://abcdinaction.org/events.

REQUEST: Conditional Use to allow Outdoor Vehicle and Equipment Sales
CURRENT ZONING: LC Limited Commercial
SITE SIZE: 0.52 acres
LOCATION: On the north side of W. 31st Street South and one block west of S.
Broadway Avenue (3149 South Old Lawrence Road)
PROPOSED USE: Used Vehicle Sales
________________________________________________________________________________________
Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Page 1
CON2020-00017
BACKGROUND: The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use to allow Outdoor Vehicle and Equipment
Sales on Lot 1, Cazel’s 4th Addition. The subject property is zoned LC Limited Commercial. Outdoor
Vehicle and Equipment Sales may be permitted with a Conditional Use in the LC zoning district.
The subject property is located on the north side of W. 31st Street South and one block west of S. Broadway
Avenue. The property includes a large paved parking lot and an existing building that appears to be vacant.
The site plan the applicant has provided shows the existing building being expanded to include a new 2-
bay garage. An existing 6-foot fence is shown along the north side of the site while 6 existing trees are
shown along the west side of the site. The site plan shows the site being served by one drive off of 31st
Street.
This section of 31st Street consists of mixed-use development including older, pre-1930 residences, multi-
family residential structures, and various commercial uses including numerous car sales lots and an auto
salvage yard.
Properties north of the site are zoned SF-5 Single Family and are developed as single-family residences.
Properties south of the site, across 31st Street, are zoned GC General Commercial and uses include auto
sales and auto salvage. Properties east of the site, across Old Lawrence Road, are zoned GC General
Commercial and uses include auto sales and residential. The property west of the site is zoned LC Limited
Commercial and is developed with a single-family residential structure.
CASE HISTORY: Cazel’s 4th Addition was recorded with the Register of Deeds July 21, 1977.
ADJACENT ZONING AND LAND USE:
NORTH: SF-5 Single-family
SOUTH: GC Auto Sales, Auto Salvage
EAST: GC Auto Sales, Residential
WEST: LC Single-family
PUBLIC SERVICES: Normal municipal services are available. West 31st Street South is a paved four-
lane arterial.
CONFORMANCE TO PLANS/POLICIES: The Future Land Use Map of the adopted Wichita-
Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan, the Community Investment Plan, identifies this site as appropriate
for “commercial”. These areas are described as encompassing the full diversity of commercial development
intensities and types typically found in a large urban municipality. This site conforms to this designation.
RECOMMENDATION: Based upon information available prior to the public hearings, staff
recommends that the request be APPROVED, subject to the following conditions:
1. All requirements of Article III, Section III.D.6.x. of the Unified Zoning Code shall be met.
2. In addition to uses permitted in the “LC” Limited Commercial district, the property is permitted a
Conditional Use for “vehicle and equipment sales, outdoor.”
3. Any automotive service or repair work conducted on the site shall be entirely within a building.
No body or fender work shall be permitted without first obtaining “GC” General Commercial
zoning.
________________________________________________________________________________________
Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Page 2
CON2020-00017
4. No outside storage of salvaged vehicles or parts shall be permitted in association with this use.
5. The site shall be developed in general conformance with the approved site plan. All improvements
shown on the approved site plan shall be completed prior to the operation of a vehicle sales lot.
6. The site shall be developed and operated in compliance with all federal, state, and local rules and
regulations.
7. If the Zoning Administrator finds that there is a violation of any of the conditions of the Conditional
Use, the Zoning Administrator, in addition to enforcing the other remedies set forth in Article VIII
of the Unified Zoning Code, may, with the concurrence of the Planning Director, declare that the
Conditional Use is null and void.
This recommendation is based on the following findings:
1. The zoning, uses and character of the neighborhood: Properties north of the site are zoned SF-5
Single Family and are developed as single-family residences. Properties south of the site, across
31st Street, are zoned GC General Commercial and uses include auto sales and auto salvage.
Properties east of the site, across Old Lawrence Road, are zoned GC General Commercial and uses
include auto sales and residential. The property west of the site is zoned LC Limited Commercial
and is developed with a single-family residential structure.
2. The suitability of the subject property for the uses to which it has been restricted: The property is
zoned “LC” Limited Commercial. The property is apparently suitable for commercial uses to which
it has been restricted, including its proposed use of vehicle sales.
3. Extent to which removal of the restrictions will detrimentally affect nearby property: The proposed
Conditional Use will allow an additional vehicle sales lot in the area. The area is characterized by
a wide range of commercial uses, including other motor vehicle sales operations. The proposed
vehicles sales will have no adverse impact on surrounding properties.
4. Conformance of the requested change to adopted or recognized Plans/Policies: The Future Land
Use Map of the adopted Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan, the Community
Investment Plan, identifies this site as appropriate for “commercial”. These areas are described as
encompassing the full diversity of commercial development intensities and types typically found
in a large urban municipality. This site conforms to this designation.
5. Impact of the proposed development on community facilities: The use of this property should have
limited impact on community facilities.

CASE NUMBER: ZON2020-00017
APPLICANT/AGENT: Wes Pechin / PICO, LLC (applicant)
Mark Savoy / Savoy Company, P.A. (agent)
REQUEST: OW Office Warehouse
CURRENT ZONING: SF-5 Single-Family Residential
SITE SIZE: 2.2 acres
LOCATION: Approximately one half-mile south of I-135 on the west side of South
Hydraulic Avenue (5398 South Hydraulic Avenue)
PROPOSED USE: Office Warehouse Complex
BACKGROUND: The applicant is seeking to change the zoning classification from SF-5 Single-Family
Residential to OW Office Warehouse in order to accommodate the establishment of an office warehouse
complex located a half-mile south of I-135 on the west side of South Hydraulic Avenue. The OW Office
Warehouse zoning district will allow both office and warehouse uses.
Permitted uses in the OW Office Warehouse district are reasonable for the property at this location, which
has good access to I-135 and is near other properties zoned LC Limited Commercial and LI Limited
Industrial.
The surrounding neighborhood has a mixture of uses and zoning patterns. The properties to the north and
west are zoned SF-5 Single Family Residential and are developed as such. The properties to the east, across
Hydraulic Avenue, are zoned SF-5 Single Family Residential and MH Manufactured Housing and are
developed as such. The property to the south is zoned SF-5 Single Family and are developed as a laundromat
and what appears to be a vacant greenhouse.
CASE HISTORY: The subject property was platted as Lot 1, Dan Schmidt Addition on July 24, 2012.
On October 22, 1991, BZA 27-91 was approved. This Variance reduced the required number of parking
spaces from 104 to 60 for M. Meyer and Son Nursery.
ADJACENT ZONING AND LAND USE:
NORTH: SF-5 Single Family Residential
SOUTH: SF-5 Laundromat
EAST: SF-5; MH Single Family Residential, Manufactured Housing
WEST: SF-5 Single Family Residential
PUBLIC SERVICES: Normal municipal services are available. The subject property has access to South
Hydraulic Avenue a paved, five-lane arterial.
CONFORMANCE TO PLANS/POLICIES: The Future Land Use Map of the adopted Wichita-
Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan, the Community Investment Plan, identifies this site as appropriate
for “residential”. These areas are described as encompassing the full diversity of residential development
intensities and types typically found in a large urban municipality.
RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the information available at the time the staff report was prepared,
staff recommends APPROVAL of the application.
This recommendation is based on the following findings:
1. The zoning, uses and character of the neighborhood: The surrounding neighborhood has a
mixture of uses and zoning patterns. The properties to the north and west are zoned SF-5 Single
Family Residential and are developed as such. The properties to the east, across Hydraulic Avenue,
are zoned SF-5 Single Family Residential and MH Manufactured Housing and are developed as
such. The property to the south is zoned SF-5 Single Family and developed as a laundromat and
what appears to be a vacant greenhouse.
2. The suitability of the subject property for the uses to which it has been restricted: The site is
zoned SF-5 Single-Family Residential. The property is suitable for the office and warehouse uses
permitted in OW zoning.
3. Extent to which removal of the restrictions will detrimentally affect nearby property: The
ZON2020-00017
Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Page 2
proposed zone change will not detrimentally affect nearby properties. The surrounding area already
has a mixture of uses and zoning classifications and there will not be significant changes by reason
of this change.
4. Length of time the property has been vacant as currently zoned: The subject property appears
to have been vacant for some time.
5. Conformance of the requested change to the adopted or recognized Comprehensive Plan:
The Future Land Use Map of the adopted Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan, the
Community Investment Plan, identifies this site as appropriate for “residential”. These areas are
described as encompassing the full diversity of residential development intensities and types
typically found in a large urban municipality.
6. Relative gain to the public health, safety, and welfare by the destruction of the value of
plaintiff's property as compared to the hardship imposed upon the individual landowner:
The proposed changes will create no issues to the public health, safety or welfare.
7. Impact of the proposed development on community facilities: There will be no impact on
community facilities.

CASE NUMBER: ZON2020-00011
APPLICANT/AGENT Al Cameron III (applicant)
REQUEST: GC General Commercial
CURRENT ZONING: SF-5 Single Family
SITE SIZE: 0.49 acres
LOCATION: Generally located on the south side of West 31st Street South and one
quarter-mile west of South Broadway Avenue (3218 South Waco Avenue).
PROPOSED USE: To allow for equipment trailers and indoor material storage.
ZON2020-00011
Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Page 1
BACKGROUND: This application was filed to rezone the subject property from SF-5 Single Family to GC
General Commercial. The subject property is located on the south side of West 31st Street South and one
quarter-mile west of South Broadway Avenue at 3218 South Waco Avenue.
With this request, the applicant would like to rezone the property to GC to allow for storing equipment trailers
outdoors, material storage indoors, and a 5th wheel camper/trailer hookup. The applicant has been conducting
much of this activity and was informed of the violation of the use in the SF-5 zoning district. GC General
Commercial is the first district available for Storage, Outdoor, as the principal use of a property.
The west half of the site is mostly vacant. In both the northeast and southeast corners of the property are two
shed-appearing structures. The property has a wooden privacy fence on the north, east, and south sides. The
western side facing Waco Avenue has a mixture of wrought iron and chain link fencing.
Rezoning the subject site to GC allows for a mixture of residential, public/civic, and commercial uses as
outlined in the Unified Zoning Code (UZC).
There are several instances of GC zoning beginning one block to the east of the subject property. The property
directly to the north is zoned LC Limited Commercial and includes a restaurant. The property directly east is
zoned LC and is vacant. The property directly to the south is zoned SF-5 and includes single family residential.
The property to the west across Waco Avenue is zoned SF-5 and includes single and multi-family residential.
CASE HISTORY: The site has not been platted. There are no other zoning actions on the subject
property.
ADJACENT ZONING AND LAND USE:
North: LC Restaurant, Strip Commercial
South: SF-5 Single-Family Residential
East: LC Vacant
West: SF-5 Single-Family and Multi-Family Residential
PUBLIC SERVICES: South Waco Avenue is a paved, 2-lane local street with on-street parking. All
municipal services are available for the property.
CONFORMANCE TO PLANS/POLICIES: The Community Investment Plan depicts the subject area as
appropriate for “Residential.” This category is described as follows: “Encompasses areas that reflect the full
diversity of residential development densities and types typically found in a large urban municipality.” The site
is located in the Established Central Area (ECA) where infill is encouraged with the Wichita Urban Infill
Strategy.
The overall spirt and intent of this request appears to be in conformance with the above stated policies and
guidelines of the adopted Plans for the City of Wichita.
RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the information available at the time the staff report was prepared it is
recommended that the request for GC General Commercial zoning be DENIED. If, however, the MAPC is
inclined to approve a change in the zoning classification, staff recommends a rezoning of GC General
Commercial be recommended for approval subject to the establishment of a Protective Overlay to read as
follows:
ZON2020-00011

required trees in the landscaped street yard. This plan shall indicate the type, location, and specification of
all plant material and shall be submitted to the Metropolitan Area Planning Department (MAPD) for its
review and approval prior to the issuance of any building permit(s).
3. Screening, constructed of standard building materials, or an approved landscape buffer, shall be provided
along the south and west property line. The screening must be kept free of graffiti and maintained is a
presentable manner.
5. Outdoor lighting sources shall employ cut-off luminaries to minimize light trespass and glare, and shall be
mounted at a height not exceeding one-half the distance from the neighboring lots.
6. Signage shall be limited to a monument sign and shall comply with Wichita City Sign Code requirements.

ZON2020-00011
Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Page 3
15. If the Zoning Administrator finds that there is a violation of any of the amended provisions of Protective
Overlay, the Zoning Administrator, in addition to enforcing the other remedies set forth in Article VIII of
the Unified Zoning Code, may, with the concurrence of the Planning Director, declare that the Protective
Overlay is null and void.
This recommendation is based on the following findings:
1. The zoning, uses and character of the neighborhood: There are several instances of GC zoning
beginning one block to the east of the subject property. The property directly to the north is zoned LC
Limited Commercial and includes a restaurant. The property directly east is zoned LC and is vacant. The
property directly to the south is zoned SF-5 and includes single family residential. The property to the
west across Waco Avenue is zoned SF-5 and includes single and multi-family residential.
2. The suitability of the subject property for the uses to which it has been restricted: The subject
property is zoned SF-5 and occupied with a couple of accessory sheds. It could be used for a single-family
home.
3. Extent to which removal of the restrictions will detrimentally affect nearby property: With the
application of the provisions of the proposed Protective Overlay, the approval of the recommended zone
change to GC but mostly restricted to certain LC uses should have minimal detrimental impact on nearby
property.
4. Length of time the property has been vacant as currently zoned: The subject property has been vacant
for many years.
5. Relative gain to the public health, safety and welfare as compared to the loss in value or the
hardship imposed upon the applicant: Approval of the request will expand commercial opportunities
for the property which is generally considered a gain to the public welfare. Denial would presumably
represent a loss of economic opportunity to the applicant and/or land owner.
6. Conformance of the requested change to the adopted or recognized Comprehensive Plan and
policies: The Community Investment Plan depicts the subject area as appropriate for “Residential.” This
category is described as follows: “Encompasses areas that reflect the full diversity of residential
development densities and types typically found in a large urban municipality.” The site is located in the
Established Central Area (ECA) where infill is encouraged with the Wichita Urban Infill Strategy.
The overall spirt and intent of this request appears to be in conformance with the above stated policies and
guidelines of the adopted Plans for the City of Wichita.
7. Impact of the proposed development on community facilities: Negative impacts are not anticipated.

Summary of special projects:
The Community Policing team worked several special assignments during the past month. One was
regarding a regulations check on several metal recycling centers. Some were found to be in violation
where one business closed down for the day due to not being able to provide accurate information. The
state AGs Office was contacted and information was sent to them for their follow-up.
CP officers conducted traffic education at two high accident locations. During the 2-hour assignment
officers stopped 30 vehicles at 47th & Broadway for various violations that are causes for accidents. Each
driver was advised reason for stop and an educational flier was handed out to them. The second
intersection was at Pawnee & Broadway where seven vehicles were stopped and seven fliers were
handed out. Officers at this location were also involved in a car chase where the driver sped off after the
officer approached his car. The car was later found in the area abandoned.
