6. PUD2019-00007
Dave Yearout, Metropolitan Area Planning Department, will present a request to establish the LOML
Commercial Planned Unit Development (PUD #65) on the 0.2-acre tract generally located on the north side
of Douglas Avenue and east of North Seneca Street, also on the east side of North Walnut Street. The
applicant has indicated the intent is to allow a mixed use of commercial uses on the property. The proposed
language for this Planned Unit Development is as follows:
Project Description:
The Planned Unit Development (PUD) is intended to allow for the development of two commercial
buildings into their best use as a mixed use commercial development. The project aligns with the City of
Wichita’s focus on increased walkability and utilizing the expanded public transport along Douglas Avenue.
The main purpose of the proposed change in use of the property is to allow the vacant building to be
occupied by the tattoo parlor which was previously in the area but which was partially destroyed by a fire.
Otherwise, there are few changes in potential uses that could be established under the present zoning
classification. Therefore, staff finds the proposed uses are not out of character with the intent to provide a
wider variety of commercial uses consistent with the existing commercial properties along this major
commercial corridor.
The property along Douglas Avenue is a mixture of properties zoned LC Limited Commercial (LC), GC
General Commercial (GC), CBD Central Business District (CBD) and LI Limited Industrial (LI). The area
is intensively developed for commercial uses. The closest residential property is over a block to the south.
This neighborhood is an active, urban commercial area.
Recommended Action: Staff recommends APPROVAL of the application subject to the following
conditions:
1. The PUD drawing shall be modified with the General Notes to read as follows:
A. The following uses are prohibited: Adult Entertainment and/or Sexually Oriented Businesses;
Auditorium or Stadium; Parking Area, Commercial; Pawnshop; Recycling Collection Stations; Recycling
Processing Centers; Reverse Vending Machines; Construction Sales and Services; General Animal Care;
Hotels or Motels; Recreational Marine Facilities; Monument Sales; Assisted Living; Group Homes; Group
Residences; Cemeteries; Golf Courses; Hospitals; General Printing and Publishing; Secondhand Store;
Service Stations; Outdoor Vehicle and Equipment Sales; Vehicle Repair; Self-Service Storage Warehouses;
Car Wash Facilities; Correctional Facilities and/or Correctional Placement Residences; Manufacturing,
Limited; Manufacturing, General; Warehousing; Welding or Machine Shop; Agricultural Research; and
Agricultural Sales and Service.
B. Amendments, adjustments or interpretations to this P.U.D. shall be done in accordance with the Unified
Zoning Code.
C. The development of this property shall proceed in accordance with the development plan as
recommended for approval by the Planning Commission and approved by the Governing Body, and any
substantial deviation of the plan, as determined by the Zoning Administrator or the Director of Planning,
shall constitute a violation of the building permit authorizing the proposed development.
Agenda June 19, 2019 3
D. The architectural character of buildings shall be consistent with the existing structures. Prior to issuance
of building permits, architectural renderings shall be submitted to the Director of Planning for final approval.
2. The applicant shall record a PUD certificate with the Register of Deeds indicating that this tract
(referenced as PUD #65 LOML Commercial Planned Unit Development (PUD) has special conditions for
development on the property.
3. A copy of the recorded certificate along with four copies of the approved PUD shall be submitted to the
Metropolitan Area Planning Department within 60 days of governing body approval, or the request shall be
considered denied and closed.
7. ZON2019-00018
Dave Yearout, Metropolitan Area Planning Department, will present a request for a change in zoning
from SF-5 Single-Family Residential District (SF-5) to TF-3 Two-Family Residential (TF-3). This includes
the southern portion of the Northgate Addition containing 28.459 acres, Generally located on the west side of
North Meridian Avenue and approximately ¼ mile north of West 53rd St. N. The applicant is also seeking a
Conditional Use to permit soil extraction to make a larger water feature within the subdivision immediately
to the north of the property subject to the rezoning. The entire area will be included in a replatting that is
being considered at this time (SUB2019-00029).
The rezoning will allow the development of this area for two-family residential dwellings similar to what is
occurring on the property to the east; which was replatted as Northgate 2nd Addition and rezoned to TF-3
Two-Family Residential in 2016 (ZON2016-00019). That case also included a modification to the Northgate
Commercial Park CUP (DP-299) by removing that area from the CUP and removing the LC Limited
Commercial (LC) zoning that applied to the land that was replatted for duplex development.
The area surrounding this property is mostly undeveloped, but transitioning into urban uses. As noted above,
the property immediately to the east is under development of duplexes. To the southeast is commercial
development of a Walmart. To the southwest is a residential development on property zoned SF-20 Single-
Family Residential consisting of 1-acre lots in the Denton McWorter Addition, which was recorded with the
Register of Deeds on April 24, 1951. The property to the south is vacant, zoned LC Limited Commercial
and a part of the Northgate Commercial Park Community Unit Plan (DP-299). The land to the north is
vacant and part of the Northgate Addition, but is in an attendant case with this rezoning (CON2019-00019)
which is requesting approval of a soil extraction operation to enlarge the pond area. That land will be
included with the subject property in a replatting to accommodate the new design for development.
Recommended action: Staff recommends the requested rezoning change from SF-5 Single Family
Residential to TF-3 Two-Family Residential be APPROVED.
8. CON2019-00019
Dave Yearout, Metropolitan Area Planning Department, will present a request for a conditional use
permit to allow “mining and quarrying” for soil extraction as part of the development of the redesigned
Northgate Addition presently being replatted (SUB2019-00029). The site plan shows the portion of the
subject property to be excavated for a water feature and/or drainage retention area. The overall area will be
developed for single-family homes based on the proposed replatting. The site plan does not conform to the
preliminary plat submitted for the replat. Staff believes the site plan for the excavation should follow the
preliminary plat design.
The area surrounding this property is mostly undeveloped, but transitioning into urban uses. The property
immediately to the east is unplatted and is occupied by a single residence on approximately 10 acres. To the
southeast is Northgate 2nd Addition being developed with two-family residences. To the southwest is a
Agenda June 19, 2019 4
residential development on property zoned SF-20 Single-Family Residential consisting of 1-acre lots in the
Denton McWorter Addition, which was recorded with the Register of Deeds on April 24, 1951. The
property to the south is included in the replatting noted above and included in the rezoning to TF-3
(ZON2019-00018). The land to the north is part of the Northgate Addition and is zoned SF-5 Single-Family
Residential.
Recommended Action: Staff recommends the requested conditional use for “mining and quarrying for soil
extraction” be APPROVED, subject to the following:

cover to help prevent erosion. As part of the required operational plan, the site shall be divided into at
least two distinct areas for the purpose of showing phased excavation over time.
7. All slopes shall have vegetative covering consisting of a perennial drought-resistant grass or combination
of grasses that will permit the establishment of sod cover to help prevent erosion.
