1. Preliminary Budget Overview: 2022-2023 Operating Budget and 2022-2031 Capital
Improvement Program
Elizabeth Goltry Wadle, Finance presented. She reviewed items related to the budget including:
process, priorities, calendar, and general fund expenditures. The majority of the presentation focused on
the American Rescue Plan Action of 2021 (ARPA) and gathering feedback on how the City should
prioritize those funds. Goltry shared the following information about ARPA:
City of Wichita was allocated $72.4 million.
Funds can be obligated through December 31, 2024 (funding is not sustainable).
ARPA entails four broad categories for state and local governments. The City of Wichita plans to
allocate funding in two categories:
o Provision of Government Services (e.g. capital projects, public safety, and reinstatements
of general government services)
o Public Health Emergency and Associated Negative Economic Impacts (e.g. filling vacant
government staff positions, aid to impacted residents, investments in housing and
neighborhoods, assistance to unemployed workers, support for small businesses and
non-profits)
ARPA’s impact on the budget process will include:
o Hiring 139 vacant civilian positions
o Restoring services cut in 2020
o Funding program options identified by departments to improve outcomes
o Allocating funding to capital projects
The General Fund estimate uses $35.6 million in ARPA funds to be sustainable through 2024.
ARPA community investments should support:
o Households and essential workers
o Communities hit hardest by the crisis
o Small businesses and impacted industries
o Public health
o Tourism
ARPA community investment concepts include:
o Affordable Housing
o Small Business and Entrepreneurial Development
o Smart Manufacturing and Digital Transformation
o Workforce Development and Training
DAB and members of the public asked and made the following summarized questions and comments:
Q (DAB): Elections are coming up this year. If we have a new set of officials, can they change the budget
priorities in a year?
A: We have a prioritization framework that is in place from doing resident engagement. Our core priorities
seem to be pretty unchanged over time, though a specific project is not approved until it goes to City
Council. Broad themes do not really change, but how the City takes them and turns them into projects
can change as elected officials change. This is a four year process, and things are uncertain with the
recovery from the pandemic, so we could see different needs over time. Public Safety and Economic
Growth are always at the top of the list when we do citizen surveys, social media town halls, the budget
simulator, and other forms of engagement.
Q (DAB): Will there be an online form to provide feedback on the budget?
A: We will host a social media town hall on June 22, 2021, and there will be numerous other community
meetings.
DAB 3 • June 2, 2021 • Minutes • Page 3
C (DAB): We should be cognizant of the funding the County and State are also receiving. To me, it is
easy to forgo Smart Manufacturing and Digital Transformation, because I know the State is putting in a lot
of effort with broadband accessibility. Affordable Housing is a worthy consideration, and we need to focus
on under-capitalized areas. District 3 should be a priority for that. We can bring up the currently existing
housing stock. If there is a way to repair and rehab what we have, I do not think we can put too much
money into that. Small Business and Entrepreneurial Development has a lot of existing resources, but we
know minority-owned businesses are falling through the cracks. We want to make sure those dollars are
allocated equitably and not shared equally across the districts. It should be concentrated to help those
who have fewer resources. The City cannot put too much into education and Workforce Development and
Training, and we lack the funding to be able to do that. I do not want to see small amounts of money
feathered out across the city, because it will not do anything for anyone.
Q (DAB): What exactly is Smart Manufacturing and Digital Transformation?
A: Smart Manufacturing and Digital Transformation is coupling new manufacturing capabilities with a
skilled workforce to boost economic growth. This is something that is being considered as a regional
initiative. We would partner with the County and State to coordinate on this as we all start out on this
process.
C (DAB): It sounds like a good boom for consultants, but I do not want to see money go toward that. That
sounds pie in the sky to me. I am uncomfortable that it is not a clear solution, and we should be applying
money to evidence-based tactics we can access today.
C (public): We could use some of that money to lure manufacturing to District 3.
A: Economic development incentives are not an eligible use. The funds need to be a workforce
investment or assistance to businesses.
C (public): I know a lot of people who go to the Wichita Workforce Center to get trained and still cannot
find a job.
C (DAB): I am in agreement that Affordable Housing is imperative. Smart Manufacturing and Digital
Transformation is something I would forgo as well. There are a lot of resources for Small Businesses and
Entrepreneurial Development.
C (DAB): If you put all that money into Affordable Housing, you will get a return on investment over and
over again.
C (DAB): It seems like there are a lot of City-owned homes in poor condition. Residents should pay $50 a
month into equity and then take that equity to maintain the house and clean up the front yard. If we can
make them maintain their own property, that would be better. It does not take much to replace a window,
and if they could grow an equity fund of their own maybe they would maintain it better.
C (DAB): Another component of Affordable Housing is energy efficiency. We should look at programs for
weatherization and making it more affordable. I encourage us to look at energy efficiency investments as
well.
Q (DAB): What is the cut off for small business?
A: I do not have that information on me, but I will share it with the DAB via email.
DAB 3 • June 2, 2021 • Minutes • Page 4
C (DAB): We should prioritize the businesses that were not able to capitalize on COVID-19 resources and
funding.
Action Taken: DAB provided comments regarding ARPA funding priorities. DAB also provided a
consensus on their ranking of priorities, listed below:
1. Affordable Housing
2. Workforce Development and Training
3. Small Business and Entrepreneurial Development
4. Smart Manufacturing and Digital Transformation

Kathy Morgan, Senior Planner, Metropolitan Area Planning Department presented an application on
behalf of USD 259 (owner), City of Wichita (applicant), and MKEC Engineering, Inc. Brian Lindebak
(agent) for a City Conditional Use to allow Safety Services (Police Station) in TF-3 Two Family Residential
Zoning on property generally located on the west side of South Edgemoor Avenue and on the south side
of East Lincoln Street (903 S. Edgemoor).
The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission held a public hearing for this item on May 20, 2021. It was
approved unanimously.
The applicant and agent were in attendance.
DAB and members of the public asked and made the following summarized questions and comments:
Q (DAB): How will parking be laid out? I am concerned there is not enough parking.
A (agent): The front space will be for guest parking and the back parking lot will be secured parking for
employees. There are 127 parking stalls for employees and 27 stalls in the front for the public.
C/Q (DAB): You all actually knocked on my door and asked my entire household how we felt about this
case. I thought that was awesome. It is unorthodox for law enforcement to engage like that. Have you
gotten any feedback from residents who might not be enthusiastic to have law enforcement in their
backyards?
A (Capt. Kevin Kochenderfer, applicant representative): I actually have the surveys and results with me.
We worked with Wichita State on this data. [Paper copy of the results were passed out.]
Q (DAB): Are we closing a police station?
A (Capt. Kochenderfer): No. This is a relocation of the current Patrol East substation. The Wichita Fire
Department will occupy the former police substation once they move to this new location.
Q (DAB) [referring to survey]: A percentage of people responded in the affirmative to the survey question
asking if they felt unsafe in their neighborhood. Do you have a sense of what is making people feel unsafe
in their neighborhood?
A (Capt. Kochenderfer): We did a lot of community engagement by going door to door to talk with neighbors,
so we were able to get a deeper sense on what was making people feel uncomfortable and were able to
share crime information for the neighborhood.
Q (DAB): Of the percentage of people who felt unsafe in the neighborhood, were you able to see if there
were any demographic trends?
A (Capt. Kochenderfer): The majority were single parent households with young kids.
DAB 3 • June 2, 2021 • Minutes • Page 5
Q (DAB): Will you incorporate outdoor play or activity space in the design phase?
A (Capt. Kochenderfer): We absolutely will.
C (DAB): I am glad you found this location. I have been to the current substation and have seen how
overcrowded it is. I am fully supportive of you having a better location.
Q (DAB): What is the cost of the land?
A (Capt. Kochenderfer): Fortunately, I am not the budget person. I just find the location; I do not close the
deal! This was the most cost-friendly site we considered.
C (DAB): I like that you went door to door and did not rely on Survey Monkey. That is the type of engagement
that shows value and investment into community outreach. It is also important we did not take away any
park land. It is a great location.
Action Taken: Motion made by Ron Tracy and seconded by Richard Ruth to APPROVE the request
subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. Motion to APPROVE PASSED 9-0-1.

Morgan, MAPD presented an application on) behalf of Martin Central Sand Company, Steve Martin
(owner) and Larry Henning (agent) for a City Conditional Use for rock crushing on property zoned SF-5
Single-Family Residential located 500 feet east of South Hydraulic Avenue, 2000 feet north of East 71st
Street South (East 68th Street),
The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission will hold a public hearing for this item on June 3, 2021.
The applicant/agent was not in attendance.
DAB and members of the public asked and made the following summarized questions and comments:
C (DAB): It seems like the proposal is very limited in scope. It sounds like there will be a period of no more
than six weeks per year total for these operations.
C (DAB): I would not want to deter from residential development.
C (DAB): We had a similar case a few years ago. There was a lot of dust that stripped paint on homes and
vehicles in the surrounding area. Windy conditions also exacerbate the level of dust blowing into residential
surrounding areas, and we know wind is common here. The company did not keep it watered down as
required, so DAB voted to deny their request.
C (DAB): If you have to rely on a company to water down the dust—that is not good.
A: As part of the set of conditions they are supposed to meet the KDHE machinery requirements, and they
are supposed to keep the dust watered down. If they are not following the listed conditions, the Metropolitan
Area Planning Department director can make the conditional use void, though that relies on residents filing
complaints if the rock crushing operation is not following the conditional uses.
Q (DAB): How did notification go out for this?
A: We published in the Wichita Eagle and sent out notices via mail to all properties within 350 feet of the
subject site. We have not received any comments on the case.
C (DAB): Notification may go out to 350 properties, but if the surrounding properties are rentals then those
tenants might not be aware as the notifications are sent to the property owners.
C (DAB): There is a lot of unincorporated areas in the county. I am sure they can locate their operations in
the county.
DAB 3 • June 2, 2021 • Minutes • Page 6
C (DAB): I live in the nearby Pine Bay neighborhood and am on the HOA. Everyone in the HOA is adamantly
against this. This area was annexed by the city. The whole south side of Wichita is geared for single family
homes, and this will drive property values down and make people not want to build houses or move to the
area. There is a concrete plant on Hydraulic that does similar operations, and every day sand and dust
goes all over the place. If you think it will only be a concern one to two weeks out of the month, you are
wrong. The impact will be everlasting to the area.
C (public): I live nearby this property. As usual, I do not see the agent or applicant here, and that is always
a bad sign. The thing I find frustrating is the reason they are here asking for a conditional use permit is
because they have been caught doing these operations for quite some time without the permit. There is a
lot of truck traffic coming in constantly, not just a few weeks out of the year. This is not something residents
in the surrounding area find palatable. When we get zoning requests because someone has been caught
with their hand in the cookie jar, the solution should not be to bake more cookies. I fully support staff’s
recommendation to deny.
Q (DAB): What enforcement do we have if they are doing this when they are not supposed to? If we deny
this case, what remedy is available?
A: It will go to code enforcement, and they will have to stop operations and move the material off the site.
Action Taken: Motion made by Jessica Lucas and seconded by Joseph Shepard to DENY the request
subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. Motion to DENY PASSED 9-0-1.

Morgan, MAPD presented an application on) behalf of Angel Wings Learning Center, LLC, Marissa
Harris for a City Conditional Use to allow Daycare, General on property zoned SF-5 Single-Family
Residential, generally located northwest of East Harry and South Woodlawn (6000 E. Harry).
The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission will hold a public hearing for this item on June 3, 2021.
The applicant/agent was not in attendance.
DAB made the following summarized comments:
C (DAB): I feel it is great to be able to use that building for more than one thing. I am happy to see the
church be used for something else during the week.
C (DAB): Childcare is something we desperately need, so this is a phenomenal opportunity.

for redevelopment, generally located 200 feet east of South Washington Avenue and 200 feet south of
East Harry Street (1621 S. Ida Ave.).
The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission held a public hearing for this item on May 20, 2021.
The agent was in attendance.
DAB and members of the public asked and made the following summarized questions and comments:
Q (DAB): What do you think they will build there?
A (MAPD): I do not know. It is not legally required to disclose that information when applying for a zoning
change.
A (agent): The idea is to build a new building there to lease or sell it. It more than likely will be some type
of auto repair or small scale manufacturing. One of those types of uses will be the most logical use.
C (agent): This has already been to the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission, and it was approved
unanimously.
Action Taken: Motion made by Michael Loop and seconded by Ronald Tracy to APPROVE the request
subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. Motion to APPROVE PASSED 9-0-1.

Morgan, MAPD presented an application on) behalf of Patrick Phillips, Jason Phillips, and Lyndsey
Phillips (applicants) and Young and Associates (agent) for City zone change on property zoned SF-5
Single-Family Residential to LI Limited Industrial for manufacturing/warehousing, generally located
approximately 900 feet south of East 55th Street South on the west side of South Hydraulic Avenue (5727
S. Hydraulic Ave.).
The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission will hold a public hearing for this item on June 3, 2021.
The applicant/agent was/was not in attendance.
DAB and members of the public asked and made the following summarized questions and comments:
Q (DAB): Do solar panels count as roof-mounted equipment?
A (MAPD): If you have roof mounted solar panels, depending on the angle and how it is placed, you would
be required to screen the structural part of the solar panels.
Q (DAB): So you would require a screen for a renewable energy source like that?
A (MAPD): Yes. The solar panels would still be able to operate. Just all the structural elements supporting
the solar panels would be screened.
Q (DAB): So you are saying whatever is below that panel is what gets screened?
A (MAPD): Yes.
Q (DAB): Do you feel this still conforms to the future growth map? There is a very small amount of this that
is actually considered industrial. If you look along Hydraulic you have agricultural and residential all around
it.
A (MAPD): Staff is saying the pattern of expanding that commercial corridor is appropriate and in
compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.
C (DAB): To me, these do not seem like appropriate uses for residential areas.
DAB 3 • June 2, 2021 • Minutes • Page 8
C (DAB): I think they could have bought a lot elsewhere to avoid putting a manufacturing facility next to a
residential area. They are turning that strip into an industrial area in the middle of a residential area, whether
it is conforming or not.
C (DAB): You obviously understand the challenges we have on the south side. To continue to try to rezone
for limited industrial or commercial is not fair to south side residents. I do not see this being a very good
move for the south side of Wichita.
C (public): I have found no commercial development in this area in 20 years. No one is investing in
commercial property there, and I do not understand why we go out of our way to invite little pockets of
limited industrial use. I do not think there will be a lot of surrounding residents happy with this.
Action Taken: Motion made by Richard Ruth and seconded by Emily Fogg to DENY the request subject

CASE NUMBER: CON2021-00018 (City)
APPLICANT/OWNER: USD 259 (Owner) City of Wichita (Applicant)
MKEC Engineering, Inc. Brian Lindebak (Agent)
REQUEST: Conditional Use for Safety Services facility for Wichita East Police Station
CURRENT ZONING: TF-3 Two-Family Residential
SITE SIZE: 5 acres +
LOCATION: Generally located one block west of South Edgemoor Drive on the south side
of East Lincoln Street at the corner of South Pinecrest Avenue and East
Lincoln Street (903 S Edgemoor Drive)
PROPOSED USE: Emergency services, Wichita East Police Station
CON2021-18
Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Page 1
BACKGROUND: The applicant is requesting a conditional use to build a new safety service facility (Wichita
East Police Station) on approximately five (5) acres, which is zoned TF-3 Two-Family Residential. The
subject site is generally located one block west of South Edgemoor Drive on the south side of East Lincoln
Street at the southeast corner of South Pinecrest Avenue and East Lincoln Street (903 S Edgemoor Drive).
The Wichita-Sedgwick County Unified Zoning Code (“UZC”) defines “Safety Services” (Art. II.Sec. II-
B.12.a) as a facility for conduct of public safety and emergency services, including fire and police
protection services and emergency medical and ambulance services.
The property to the north is zoned MF-29 Multi-Family and is developed with court apartments (4 units in each
building) and single-family dwellings; and TF-3 which is developed with single-family dwellings. East of the
property is zoned TF-3 and in use as the USD 259 Alvin Morris Administrative Center. South of the site is
zoned TF-3 and the location of Curtis Middle School and Caldwell Elementary School. West of the site is MF-
29 and is developed with one-story, 3 and 4 unit apartment buildings.
CASE HISTORY: In 1968, the subject property was platted as the Southeast High Addition. No other
zoning cases are associated with this site.
ADJACENT ZONING AND LAND USE:
NORTH: MF-29, TF-3 Court Apartments, Single-Family Residences
SOUTH: TF-3 Caldwell Elementary School
WEST: MF-29 One-story apartments (3 and 4 units each)
EAST: TF-3 Alvin Morris Admin Center USD 259
PUBLIC SERVICES: The subject site has direct access to East Lincoln Street, which is a four-lane arterial
street with 80 feet right-of-way. The site plan indicates there is one access to Pinecrest at the south property
line. All municipal services are available to the site.
CONFORMANCE TO PLANS/POLICIES: The proposed rezoning is in conformance with the Wichita-
Sedgwick County 2035 Community Investments Plan. The plan’s Wichita Future Growth Concept map
indicates the application area is located in an area designated as “Residential and Employment Mix”
immediately adjacent to “Major Institutional”, which is consistent with the underlying land use. In addition, the
Community Investments Plan shows the site within the Established Central Area.
The proposed rezoning is in conformance with the Wichita Places for People Plan. The walkability of the
surrounding neighborhoods does not have a negative impact and may contribute to the potential redevelopment
of the Harry and Oliver community core node. This site is located in an emerging area within the
neighborhood cycle classification and an area of opportunity.
RECOMMENDATION: Based upon information available prior to the public hearings, planning staff
recommends that the request be APPROVED, with the following conditions:
(1) The applicant shall obtain all applicable permits including plans for review and approval by the
MABCD for the construction of the Safety Services Facility.
(2) Development and maintenance of the site shall be in conformance with the approved site plan.
(3) If the Zoning Administrator finds that there is a violation of any of the conditions of the Conditional
CON2021-18
Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Page 2
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: The property to the north is zoned MF-29
Multi-Family and is developed with court apartments (4 units in each building) and single-family
dwellings; and TF-3 which is developed with single-family dwellings. East of the property is TF-3
and is the USD 259 Alvin Morris Administrative Center. South of the site is zoned TF-3 and the
location of Caldwell Elementary School. West of the site is MF-29 and is developed with one-story, 3
and 4 unit apartment buildings
(2) The suitability of the subject property for the uses to which it has been restricted: The subject
site is currently zoned TF-3 which permits safety services with a conditional use.
(3) Extent to which removal of the restrictions will detrimentally affect nearby property:
Approval of the request to allow emergency services at the site is not anticipated to have significant
detrimental impacts to nearby properties based on the design and operations of the intended land use.
(4) Conformance To Plans/Policies: The proposed rezoning is in conformance with the
Wichita-Sedgwick County 2035 Community Investments Plan. The plan’s Wichita Future
Growth Concept map indicates the application area is located in an area designated as
“Residential and Employment Mix” immediately adjacent to “Major Institutional”, which is
consistent with the underlying land use. In addition, the Community Investments Plan shows
the site within the Established Central Area.
The proposed rezoning is in conformance with the Wichita Places for People Plan. The walkability of
the surrounding neighborhoods does not have a negative impact and may contribute to the potential
redevelopment of the Harry and Oliver community core node. This site is located in an emerging area
within the neighborhood cycle classification and an area of opportunity.
(5) Impact of the proposed development on community facilities: There will be minimal impact on
public roads and no impact to water and sewer service.

CASE NUMBER: CON2021-00020 (City)
APPLICANT/AGENT: Martin Central Sand Company, Steve Martin (Owner)
Larry Henning, Agent
REQUEST: Conditional Use to permit Rock Crushing
CURRENT ZONING: SF-5 Single-Family Residential
SITE SIZE: 1.71 acres
LOCATION: Generally located 500 feet east of South Hydraulic Avenue, 2000 feet
north of East 71st Street South (1855 East 68th Street) – WCC District III
PROPOSED USE: Rock Crusher to be used for recycling and processing concrete/rock and
asphalt
CON2021-00020
Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Page 1
BACKGROUND: The applicant is requesting rock crushing and recycling on the 1.71 acres, unplatted
SF-5 Single-Family residential zoned property generally located 500 feet east of South Hydraulic Avenue,
2000 feet north of East 71st Street South (1855 East 68th Street). The Unified Zoning Code (UZC) requires
consideration of a conditional use for a rock crusher in all zoning districts; UZC, Sec.III.D. The applicant
proposes to crush only concrete/rock and asphalt for resale.
The applicant proposes to operate the site only be during daylight hours, two – to – six weeks per year,
Monday – Friday with Saturday optional depending on demand. The stock piles would be no more than 30
feet tall. Martins Central Sand Company would hire licensed rock crushing companies, which are licensed
by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE). The company would also be required to
have an air permit from KDHE to operate it in the State of Kansas and the equipment would be subject to
EPA Regulation 40 CFR 60, Subpart 000 NSPS for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing Plants.
Properties directly north, east and south the subject site are zoned SF-5 Single-Family Residential that are
occupied by non-conforming uses that include salvage/recycling, auto salvage, and general contracting
storage. There is one parcel north of the subject site that is zoned LI Limited Industrial that is developed
with an auto body shop. Property west of the subject site is zoned GI General Industrial and right-of-way
for the Mitch Mitchell Floodway. There is SF-5 zoned property north of the subject site and MH
Manufacture Home zoning to the west within 350 feet of the proposed site. These properties are within the
350-foot notification area.
CASE HISTORY: The property is unplatted. Historic aerials from 1968 through 2014 show the land on
the subject site as wrecking, salvage, and recycling. Between 2001 and 2010, the surrounding property was
annexed by the City as SF-5 Single-Family Residential zoning. By 2020, the site had transitioned to
stockpiling of sand and rock.
ADJACENT ZONING AND LAND USE:
NORTH: SF-5, LI Non-conforming salvage/recycling, auto salvage and body shop
SOUTH: SF-5, R-O-W Un-developed, Mitch Mitchell Floodway
EAST: SF-5 Salvage/Recycling, Contracting Storage
WEST: GI, R-O-W Salvage/Recycling, Mitch Mitchell Floodway
PUBLIC SERVICES: The site has access to South Hydraulic Avenue from East 68th Street South, a local,
gravel street with 60-foot right-of-way. The City of Wichita Public Works Department maintains the gravel
portion of East 68th Street South from Hydraulic Avenue to Minnesota, Minnesota Avenue to Cider Street,
and Cider Street to Grove Street. South Hydraulic Avenue is a paved two-lane arterial street with travel in
both directions. The site has access to municipal water.
CONFORMANCE TO PLANS/POLICIES: The proposed conditional use is not in conformance with
the adopted Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan, the Community Investments Plan. The Plan’s
“2035 Wichita Future Growth Map” depicts the site as “industrial.” However, the Plan’s Locational
Guidelines - Land Use Compatibility 1.b. recommends that “industrial and major commercial land uses that
generate pollution, odor, noise, light, safety hazards, and high levels of traffic should be located away from
residential areas and developed with screening, buffering, and site design features sufficient to mitigate
adverse impacts.
The proposed conditional use is not in conformance with the Unified Zoning Code (UZC). The UZC’s
Article VII Nonconformities Policy indicates that it is the general policy of the City and County to allow
uses that are nonconformities, but to bring as many aspects of those uses into conformance with the current
Code as is reasonable and to control the expansion of the nonconforming uses.
CON2021-00020
Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Page 2
The proposed conditional use is not in conformance with the South Wichita/Haysville Area Plan (adopted
2004). This Plan’s Future Land Use Map recommends the subject area to be in use for Residential Low
Density.
RECOMMENDATION: Based upon information available prior to the public hearings, planning staff
recommends that the request be DENIED.
This recommendation is based on the following findings:
1. The zoning, uses and character of the neighborhood: Properties north, east and south the subject
site are zoned SF-5 Single-Family Residential that are occupied by non-conforming uses that
include salvage/recycling, auto salvage, and general contracting storage. There is one parcel north
of the subject site that is zoned LI Limited Industrial that is developed with an auto body shop.
Property west of the subject site is zoned GI General Industrial and right-of-way for the Mitch
Mitchell Floodway. There is SF-5 zoned property north of the subject site and MH Manufacture
Home zoning to the west within 350 feet of the proposed site. These properties are within the 350-
foot notification area. Staff recommends that the proposed conditional use for rock crushing, sand
and asphalt recycling is not appropriate for this location.
2. The suitability of the subject property for the uses to which it has been restricted: The property
is zoned SF-5 and the current use of the property is a nonconforming use.
3. Extent to which removal of the restrictions will detrimentally affect nearby property: The
rock crushing and recycling operation will produce noise and dust which will be mitigated but can
still have detrimental affects on nearby residential properties.
4. Conformance of the requested change to the adopted or recognized Comprehensive Plan and
policies: The proposed conditional use is not in conformance with the adopted Wichita-Sedgwick
County Comprehensive Plan, the Community Investments Plan. The Plan’s “2035 Wichita Future
Growth Map” depicts the site as “industrial.” However, the Plan’s Locational Guidelines - Land
Use Compatibility 1.b. recommends that “industrial and major commercial land uses that generate
pollution, odor, noise, light, safety hazards, and high levels of traffic should be located away from
residential areas and developed with screening, buffering, and site design features sufficient to
mitigate adverse impacts.
The proposed conditional use is not in conformance with the Unified Zoning Code (UZC). The
UZC’s Article VII Nonconformities Policy indicates that it is the general policy of the City and
County to allow uses that are nonconformities, but to bring as many aspects of those uses into
conformance with the current Code as is reasonable and to control the expansion of the
nonconforming uses.
The proposed conditional use is not in conformance with the South Wichita/Haysville Area Plan
(adopted 2004). This Plan’s Future Land Use Map recommends the subject area to be in use for
Residential Low Density.
5. Impact of the proposed development on community facilities: There is no municipal sewer
available to this site. Municipal water can provide adequate service for the proposed site. Traffic
will minimally increase during the operation time period.
If, in the opinion of the Planning Commission, the request is determined to be appropriate, the Planning
Commission should adopt alternative findings supporting approval and approval should be subject to the
following conditions:
CON2021-00020
Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Page 3
A. The activity will be limited to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and shall be limited to a maximum
of five (5) weeks per year. An administrative adjustment will have to be approved to increase the
maximum number of weeks of operation.
B. The site shall be developed and operated in conformance with the approved site plan and all
applicable codes to include but not limited to zoning, building, fire and environmental regulations.
All rock crushing operations and material storage shall take place within the designated site plan
area, unless an adjusted site plan is approved by the Director of Planning.
C. Prior to rock crushing operations, the applicant (or applicant’s hired rock crushing company) shall
get an air permit from KDHE to operate in the State of Kansas and that the equipment will be
subject to EPA Regulation 40 CFR 60, Subpart 000 NSPS for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing
Plants.
D. Rock crushing operations on the site shall not create dust which travels on to surrounding
properties.
E. All vehicular drives on the site, work and parking areas shall be surfaced with an all-weather
material, which may include crushed rock, to minimize dust on the site. A water truck will be kept
onsite to be used to control dust.
F. Access to the site will be from South Hydraulic Avenue to the drive access on East 68th Street
South.
G. All conditions shall be met or the Conditional Use shall be null and void.
H. If the Zoning Administrator finds that there is a violation of any of the provisions or 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 the Conditional Use null and void.

APPLICANT/OWNER: Angel Wings Learning Center, LLC, c/o Marissa Harris
REQUEST: Conditional Use to allow Daycare, General
CURRENT ZONING: SF-5 Single-Family Residential & B Multi-Family Residential
SITE SIZE: 3.67-acres
LOCATION: Generally located midway between South Edgemoor Drive and South
Woodlawn Boulevard on the northeast corner of South Waverly Road
and East Harry Street (6000 East Harry Street)
PROPOSED USE: Licensed child care center
________________________________________________________________________________________
Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Page 1
CON2021-00023
BACKGROUND: The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use to allow a Daycare, General as a use on
property addressed 6000 East Harry Street; Lots 1 and 2, Pilgrim Congregational Church Addition. The
3.67-acre SF-5 Single-Family Residential and B Multi-Family Residential zoned property is located
midway between South Edgemoor Drive and South Woodlawn Boulevard on the northeast corner of South
Waverly Road and East Harry Street. A Daycare, General may be permitted with a Conditional Use in the
SF-5 and B zoning districts subjected to supplemental use regulations found is Section III-D.6.1 of the UZC
Unified Zoning Code. The day care will operate out of the existing church buildings. Church activities
will continue on weekends and evenings but not during daycare hours.
The UZC defines Daycare, General as “a Day Care center that provide care, protection and supervision for
more than ten individuals at any one time, including those under the supervision or custody of the day care
provider and those under the supervision or custody of employees, or a Day Care center for ten or fewer
individuals at any one time that is not operated as a Home Occupation.” Section III-D.6.i, supplemental use
regulations of the UZC states the following conditions:
1. Compliance with state regulations: Day Care Centers shall comply with all applicable state
regulations.
2. Compliance with Home Occupation standards: When located in the residence of the care provider,
in a residential zoning District, Day Care Centers shall comply with the general Home Occupation
standards of Sec. IV-E.3 of the UZC.
3. Outdoor play in residential areas: Outdoor play shall be limited to the hours of 7:30 a.m. to 6:30
p.m. if located within 100 feet of a Lot containing a Dwelling Unit.
4. Parking and loading: Provisions of Parking Spaces in Sec. IV-A.4 may be provided by shared
Parking when the Day Care is located within an existing Church or Place of Worship, however, the
Day Care shall provide convenient off-street loading facilities as required in Sec. IV-A.14.
The parking requirements set forth in Sec. IV-A.4 state that a daycare shall have one space per
teacher/employee, plus one space per vehicle used by the day care, plus one per 10 children based on
enrollment above 12. This particular day care will ultimately have 20 employees (20 parking spaces) and
116 children enrolled (12 parking spaces). The applicant does not propose to provide vehicles to be used
by the day care. Therefore, the required parking is 32 parking spaces. The site plan shows 62 parking
spaces on site. This site has a large parking lot with access off of South Waverly Street, which intersects
the arterial East Harry Street. The outdoor play area for this center is located to the east and northeast of
two of the day care center’s buildings. The closest single-family or any residential dwelling units are
located between approximately 225-feet to 365-feet from the outdoor play area, which exceeds the above
supplemental use regulation #3.
Properties located to the north and west (across South Waverly Road) of the site are zoned SF-5 and are
developed as urban scale single-family residences. Properties located to south of the site, across East Harry
Street, are zoned SF-5 and TF-3 Duplex and are developed as urban scale single-family residences and
fewer duplexes. An abutting east property is zoned MF-29 Multi-family residential is being used as an
office for the church. Other properties located east of the site, across South Fabrique Drive and a drainage
channel, are zoned SF-5 and TF-3 and are developed as urban scale single-family residences and fewer
duplexes.
CASE HISTORY: The site is located on Lots 1 and 2, Pilgrim Congregational Church Addition, which
was recorded with the Register of Deeds April 5, 1984.

Conditional Use is null and void.
This recommendation is based on the following findings:
1. The zoning, uses and character of the neighborhood: Properties located to the north and west
(across South Waverly Road) of the site are zoned SF-5 and are developed as urban scale single-
family residences. Properties located to south of the site, across East Harry Street, are zoned SF-5
and TF-3 and are developed as urban scale single-family residences and fewer duplexes. Properties
located east of the site, across South Fabrique Drive and a drainage channel, are zoned SF-5 and
TF-3 and are developed as urban scale single-family residences and fewer duplexes.
2. The suitability of the subject property for the uses to which it has been restricted: The property
is zoned SF-5 and B and is used as a church and church offices. The property is suitable for the
residential and civic uses to which it has been restricted, including its proposed use of a daycare.
3. Extent to which removal of the restrictions will detrimentally affect nearby property: The
proposed Conditional Use will allow a daycare to operate out of the church buildings when not in
use by the church. This use is fairly common in the community, and with the restrictions placed
on the use from Section III-D.6.i, negative impacts to the surrounding residential neighborhood
should be minimal.
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 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.

DAB III June 2, 2021
CASE NUMBER: ZON2021-00018 (City)
APPLICANT/AGENT: Central Plains Development LLC (Owners); Ferris Consulting (Agent)
REQUEST: GC General Commercial
CURRENT ZONING: GO General Office
SITE SIZE: 0.17 acres
LOCATION: Generally located 200 feet east of South Washington Avenue and 200 feet south
of East Harry Street (1621 South Ida Avenue).
PROPOSED USE: To allow redevelopment of a vacant lot.
BACKGROUND: The applicant is requesting a zone change from GO General Office to GC General
Commercial for a 0.17 acre parcel at 1621 South Ida Avenue, which is generally located 200 feet east of
South Washington Avenue and 200 feet south of East Harry Street. The site is vacant but appears to have
been used as a parking lot for at least 25 years according to aerial imagery. GC General Commercial zoning
permits a larger number of uses than is currently allowed under the GO General Office zoning. Screening
would continue to be required along the southern property line adjacent to residential zoning. A wooden
fence is currently constructed along the entire length of the south property line.
Properties to the north, east, and west of the subject property are zoned LI Limited Industrial and are
developed with a mix of uses including warehouses and an auto body shop. The property to the south of the
subject property is zoned B Multi-Family Residential and developed with a single-family home.
CASE HISTORY: On March 19, 1887, the property was platted as Lot 21 of Ranson and Kay’s 3rd
Addition.
ADJACENT ZONING AND LAND USE:
North: LI Warehouse
South: B Single-Family Home
East: LI Auto Body Shop
West: LI Warehouse
PUBLIC SERVICES: Access to the site is off of South Ida Avenue, a paved, local street. The site also
has access to an alley to the west running parallel to South Ida Avenue. There are sidewalks present on the
east side of the property. Public water and sewer utilities are available at this location.
CONFORMANCE TO PLANS/POLICIES: The requested GC zoning would continue to allow the
property to be in conformance with existing plans and policies.
The requested GC zoning aligns with the goals of the Community Investment Plan. The Community
Investments Plan (the Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan) includes the 2035 Wichita Future
Growth Concept Map. The Map identifies the area in which the site is located to be appropriate for
Industrial. This category is described as encompassing “areas that reflect the full diversity of industrial
development intensities and types typically found in a large urban municipality.”
In addition, the requested GC zoning aligns with the goals of the Wichita: Places for People Plan by
allowing strategic investment in the area. The Wichita: Places for People Plan provides recommendations
for urban infill development in the Established Central Area. The subject site is located within the
Established Central Area in an area identified as an “area of opportunity.” The Places for People Plan
defines Areas of Opportunity as those “areas that generally exhibit economic challenges, a disconnected
development pattern and a lack of walkable places and facilities. These areas need strategic investment,
both public and private, to assist in redefining and reinvigorating the area.” New commercial development
such as this aligns with the goals of the Plan for strategic investment.
RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the information available at the time the staff report was completed,
staff recommends APPROVAL of the request as submitted
This recommendation is based on the following findings:
1. The zoning, uses and character of the neighborhood: Properties to the north, east, and west of
the subject property are zoned LI Limited Industrial and are developed with a mix of uses including
warehouses and an auto body shop. The property to the south of the subject property is zoned B
Multi-Family Residential and developed with a single-family home.
ZON2021-00018
Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Page 2
2. The suitability of the subject property for the uses to which it has been restricted: The
property is zoned GO General Office and acts as a buffer between the B Multi-Family Residential
zoning to the south and the LI Limited Industrial zoning to the north. While GC General
Commercial zoning would allow for an increase in uses on the site, there is solid screening in place.
3. Extent to which removal of the restrictions will detrimentally affect nearby property:
Approval of the request would allow development and provide economic opportunity in the area.
GC General Commercial is not an unreasonable request due to the large presence of LI Limited
Industrial Zoning in the area.
4. Length of time subject property has remained vacant as zoned: This site is vacant, but appears
to have been used as a parking lot for at least 25 years according to aerial imagery.
5. Relative gain to the public health, safety and welfare as compared to the loss in value or the
hardship. Denial would represent a loss of economic opportunity to the applicant or property
owner. Approval would represent gain for the applicant and provide new economic opportunity by
providing potential jobs and services to the community in an areas which has experienced a lack of
investment.
6. Conformance of the requested change to the adopted or recognized Comprehensive Plan and
policies: The requested GC zoning would continue to allow the property to be in conformance
with existing plans and policies.
The requested GC zoning aligns with the goals of the Community Investment Plan. The Community
Investments Plan (the Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan) includes the 2035 Wichita
Future Growth Concept Map. The Map identifies the area in which the site is located to be
appropriate for Industrial. This category is described as encompassing “areas that reflect the full
diversity of industrial development intensities and types typically found in a large urban
municipality.”
In addition, the requested GC zoning aligns with the goals of the Wichita: Places for People Plan
by allowing strategic investment in the area. The Wichita: Places for People Plan provides
recommendations for urban infill development in the Established Central Area. The subject site is
located within the Established Central Area in an area identified as an “area of opportunity.” The
Places for People Plan defines Areas of Opportunity as those “areas that generally exhibit economic
challenges, a disconnected development pattern and a lack of walkable places and facilities. These
areas need strategic investment, both public and private, to assist in redefining and reinvigorating
the area.” New commercial development such as this aligns with the goals of the Plan for strategic
investment.
7. Impact of the proposed development on community facilities: Approval of the request should
generate no additional impacts on community facilities. Existing public infrastructure at the site
will accommodate uses under the proposed GC zoning.

DAB III: June 2, 2021
CASE NUMBER: ZON2021-00023 (City)
APPLICANT/AGENT: Patrick Phillips, Jason Phillips, and Lyndsey Phillips (Applicants), Young and
Associates (Agent)
REQUEST: LI Limited Industrial
CURRENT ZONING: SF-5 Single-Family Residential
SITE SIZE: 9.73 acres
LOCATION: Generally located approximately 900 feet south of East 55th Street South and on
the west side of South Hydraulic Avenue (5727 South Hydraulic Avenue).
PROPOSED USE: Manufacturing and warehousing.
BACKGROUND: The applicant is requesting a zone change from SF-5 Single-Family Residential to LI Limited
Industrial for a 9.73-acre parcel located approximately 900 feet south of East 55th Street South and on the west
side of South Hydraulic Avenue (5727 South Hydraulic Avenue). A portion of the property that fronts Hydraulic
is already zoned LI. The applicant is seeking to rezone the remainder of the property for manufacturing and
warehousing. The property is currently vacant.
The property owner owns Phillips-Southern Electric. They have experienced increments of growth in their history
in Wichita. They purchased this property with the intension of moving all or a portion of their current operation
to this location if/when growth occurs. This would include the storing of equipment (both indoors and outdoors)
as well as their manufacturing/machine shop that repairs their equipment. The timeline and extent of what all
would relocate to this location is unknown. The proposed activities are possible in GC General Commercial
zoning. However, a welding/machine shop or any manufacturing would have to comply with supplementary use
regulation III-D.6.n, which states that the portion of ground floor area fronting the main street would have to be
used for office space, display, or wholesale or retail sales. At this time, it is unknown if the office component
would be relocated in the future. Therefore, a zone change to GC would not meet the applicant’s needs.
Property to the north is zoned SF-5 Single Family Residential, except the immediate corner of East 55th and
Hydraulic is zoned LC Limited Commercial. One parcel is developed with single family uses. The parcel on the
corner is undeveloped. Property south is zoned SF-5 and LI Limited Industrial with single family uses and an
appliance retail store fronting Hydraulic. Property to the east is zoned SF-5, LC Limited Commercial, GC General
Commercial, and LI Limited Industrial. A portion of the LC and SF-5-zoned property is developed with a single
family dwelling. The remainder of the LC and GC properties are governed by CUP DP-120. A portion of this LC-
zoned property is developed as a Peachtree Park right at the corner of East 55th and Hydraulic. The GC and the LI
properties are undeveloped. Farther west is zoned SF-5 but is developed as the City of Wichita Water Resource
Recovery Facility. Property to the west is zoned SF-5 with single family dwellings.
Compatibility setback and height standards shall apply to this site since it abuts SF-5 zoning on the north, west,
and south sides. In accordance with Section IV-C.4 of the UZC, the compatibility building setback shall be 25
feet. In addition, staff is recommending no industrial use shall be within 200 feet of the west property line. In
accordance with Section IV.C.5 of the UZC, the compatibility height standards shall be in effect. This section
states that a building cannot exceed 35 feet in height within 50 feet of the lot line of a property zoned TF-3 or
more restrictive. For every three feet greater than 50 feet from the lot line, the building can gain one-foot in height.
With property surrounding the subject site zoned residentially, the Unified Zoning Code (UZC) and Wichita
Landscape Ordinance requires that this site comply with screening, lighting, and landscaping standards. Section
IV-B of the UZC addresses screening and lighting standards. It requires a minimum of a six-foot solid screening
fence where abutting residential zoning. However, the UZC does afford the option to achieve solid screening
through the use of landscaped earth berms. Landscape screening must achieve the same effect as a six-foot solid
screening fence. The site must also comply with screening of mechanical equipment as described in Section IV-
B-3.e. Lighting standards require that all light sources employ cut-off luminaries to minimize light trespass and
glare. The light poles cannot exceed a height of one-half the distance from the neighboring Lot. However, all light
poles cannot exceed a height of 15 feet if they are within 200 feet of residential zoning.
The site must also comply with the Wichita Landscape Ordinance for landscape buffering along property lines
abutting residentially zoned property, a landscaped street yard along Hydraulic, and parking lot screening. The
standards for the size of the landscaped street yard is based on the depth of the lot. The subject site has a significant
lot depth considering its width. Any changes to the standards of the Landscape Ordinance must be done through
the submittal of a variance application. Regarding the landscape buffering along the north, west, and south
property lines: the minimum requirement is one shade tree per 40-linear feet. Considering the proximity of
established residential uses along the west property line, staff recommends the buffer requirement be increased to
1.5 times the Landscape Ordinance. The length of the west property line would be required to have 13 shade trees
plated instead of nine. Existing vegetation can be counted toward the number of trees required by the Ordinance.
ZON2021-00023
Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Page 2
CASE HISTORY: The property is unplatted. In order to obtain a building permit, platting is required.
ADJACENT ZONING AND LAND USE:
North: SF-5 & LC Single family dwelling, undeveloped
South: SF-5 & LI Single family uses and retail
East: SF-5, LC, GC, & LI Single-family dwelling, park, undeveloped.
West: SF-5 Single-family dwellings
PUBLIC SERVICES: The site has access to South Hydraulic Avenue, a paved, four-lane arterial street with a
sidewalk on the east side. Municipal water and sewer are available near the site, but will have to be extended for
development at the applicant’s expense. On the west side of the property, South Pattie Street/East 57th Street South
are platted rights-of-way in the Kuehn Addition. They are paved, two way local roads with no sidewalks. This
could provide access to the west side of the property. Because the Kuehn Addition is a residential subdivision,
staff is recommending a dedication of complete access control along this property line so that there is no access
to the property from East 57th Street except for emergency purposes.
CONFORMANCE TO PLANS/POLICIES: The rezoning request is in conformance with the Wichita-
Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan, titled the Community Investments Plan. The plan identifies the site as
“Industrial”, “Residential”, and “Agricultural or Vacant” on the Future Growth Concept Map. Industrial uses
encompass areas that reflect the full diversity of industrial development intensities and types typically found in a
large urban municipality. Centers or concentrations of manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, construction
research, and technology are located in close proximity to highways and airports and may have rail service.
In addition, the recommended protective overlay will preserve the west portion of the subject site as buffer
between the residential properties to the west and the proposed industrial uses on the subject site. In this way, the
provisions of the Protective Overlay uphold the spirit and intent of the adopted policies and plans.
The rezoning request is not in conformance with the South Wichita/Haysville Area Plan, which was adopted in
2002. The plan was developed to provide guidance for redevelopment after a tornado went through the area in
1999 and provides guidance for future development in the area. Chapter Four of the plan discusses the desire for
new commercial development in the area. The future land use map identifies this property as appropriate for
residential development. However, the immediate area has established commercial and industrial zoning fronting
the arterial roadway.
RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the information available at the time the staff report was completed, staff
recommends APPROVAL of the request, subject to Protective Overlay #372:
Protective Overlay #372
1. Allowed uses permitted by-right in the LI Limited Industrial zoning district except the following uses:
Correctional Facility; Correctional Placement Residence, Limited and General; Recycling Collection
Station, Public and Private; Recycling Processing Center; Reverse Vending Machine; Day Reporting
Center; Nightclub in the City; Rodeo in the City; Sexually Oriented Business; Asphalt or Concrete Plant,
Limited; Freight Terminal; and Gas and Fuel Storage and Sales.
2. At the time of platting, the applicant shall dedicate complete access control along the west property line
for the full length of East 57th Street South except for emergency purposes only. The applicant shall erect
a gate which shall remain closed and locked at all times, except for emergency purposed, and shall
comply with Fired Department standards for emergency access.
ZON2021-00023
Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Page 3
3. Screening shall be per the Unified Zoning Code Section IV-B.1-3; however, any fences or walls shall
be constructed of a consistent pattern and color.
4. Compatibility height and setbacks shall adhere to Section IV-C of the Unified Zoning Code.
5. The landscape buffer along the west property line shall be 1.5 times the standard in the Wichita
Landscape Ordinance.
6. No portion of any building or outdoor storage may occupy the west 200 feet of the site. This area can be
used for off-street parking.
7. Storage of equipment or merchandise shall be allowed outside an enclosed building only in compliance
with the screening standards in Section IV-B of the Unified Zoning Code and the following additional
standards: no outdoor storage or work areas shall be permitted within the compatibility setback, or the
west 200 feet of the site. No required off-street parking space or loading area shall be utilized for storage;
and items stored outdoors shall be screened from view from South Hydraulic Avenue and from ground
level view of any residential uses or any adjacent residential zoning.
8. Roof-mounted equipment and loading docks; trash receptacles; ground-level heating, air conditioning,
and mechanical equipment; free standing coolers or refrigeration units; outdoor storage including
portable storage containers; outdoor work areas or similar uses shall be screened from ground level view
along South Hydraulic Avenue and from any residential uses or adjacent residential zoning.
9. All signs shall be limited to signs that would be allowed in the LC Limited Commercial zoning district.
10. The applicant shall submit a site/landscape plan to the Planning Department for review and approval
prior to the issuance of building permits.
This recommendation is based on the following findings:
1. The zoning, uses and character of the neighborhood: Property to the north is zoned SF-5 Single Family
Residential, except the immediate corner of East 55th and Hydraulic is zoned LC Limited Commercial.
One parcel is developed with single family uses. The parcel on the corner is undeveloped. Property south
is zoned SF-5 and LI Limited Industrial with single family uses and an appliance retail store fronting
Hydraulic. Property to the east is zoned SF-5, LC Limited Commercial, GC General Commercial, and
LI Limited Industrial. A portion of the LC and SF-5-zoned property is developed with a single family
dwelling. The remainder of the LC and GC properties are governed by CUP DP-120. A portion of this
LC-zoned property is developed as a Peachtree Park right at the corner of East 55 th and Hydraulic. The
GC and the LI properties are undeveloped. Farther west is zoned SF-5 but is developed as the City of
Wichita Water Resource Recovery Facility. Property to the west is zoned SF-5 with single family
dwellings.
Across South Hydraulic to the east is unrestricted LI Limited industrial zoning. By restricting the subject
site with Protective Overlay #372, it provides a buffer between the more intensive zoning and the
residential uses.
2. The suitability of the subject property for the uses to which it has been restricted: The property is
zoned SF-5 Single-Family Residential with a portion fronting Hydraulic zoned LI Limited Industrial.
The current industrial zoning has no Protective Overlay which could cause compatibility issues with the
ZON2021-00023
Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Page 4
abutting SF-5 zoning on the rear-portion of the site. Additionally, the LI zoning does not permit any
residential uses.
3. Extent to which removal of the restrictions will detrimentally affect nearby property: Approval of
the request would allow the re-development of the site for uses in LI as restricted by PO #372. The
applicant intends to develop the entire subject site with manufacturing, machine shop, and warehousing.
The restrictions of the Protective Overlay will minimize and mitigate potential negative impacts to
surrounding property.
4. Length of time subject property has remained vacant as zoned: The property has historically been
used for single family and agricultural uses. It is unknown how long the site has been vacant.
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 will allow the re-development of the site to provide an
opportunity for a local business to continue to expand in the future and provide services to the local
community. Denial would represent a loss of economic opportunity to the applicant or property owner.
6. Conformance of the requested change to the adopted or recognized Comprehensive Plan and
policies: The rezoning request is in conformance with the Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive
Plan, titled the Community Investments Plan. The plan identifies the site as “Industrial”, “Residential”,
and “Agricultural or Vacant” on the Future Growth Concept Map. Industrial uses encompass areas that
reflect the full diversity of industrial development intensities and types typically found in a large urban
municipality. Centers or concentrations of manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, construction
research, and technology are located in close proximity to highways and airports and may have rail
service.
In addition, the recommended protective overlay will preserve the west portion of the subject site as buffer
between the residential properties to the west and the proposed industrial uses on the subject site. In this
way, the provisions of the Protective Overlay uphold the spirit and intent of the adopted policies and plans.
The rezoning request is not in conformance with the South Wichita/Haysville Area Plan, which was
adopted in 2002. The plan was developed to provide guidance for redevelopment after a tornado went
through the area in 1999 and provides guidance for future development in the area. Chapter Four of the
plan discusses the desire for new commercial development in the area. The future land use map identifies
this property as appropriate for residential development. However, the immediate area has established
commercial and industrial zoning fronting the arterial roadway.
7. Impact of the proposed development on community facilities: Approval of the request should generate
no additional impacts on community facilities. Existing public infrastructure at the site will accommodate
uses under the proposed LI zoning.
