Stephen Banks with the Planning Department will present on the DER2017-03: Briefing and Public Hearing on the Delano Neighborhood Plan: 2019 In early 2017, Wichita Mayor Jeff Longwell attended the March meeting of the Delano Neighborhood Association to discuss a vision for a new stadium and museum district to be located in Lawrence Dumont’s footprint. The response from the attendees to the Mayor’s vision was positive, and led to a discussion on updating the 2001 Delano Neighborhood Revitalization Plan. The 2001 Delano Neighborhood Revitalization Plan was adopted as an amendment to the Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan in March 2001. After 15 years of implementing projects outlined in the 2001  Agenda July 1, 2019 2 Plan and changing conditions in the neighborhood, active neighborhood groups (Delano United and the Delano Neighborhood Association) and the City of Wichita recognized that the time was right to take a look at how the neighborhood would navigate its next chapter. The Metropolitan Area Planning Department was formally asked to revisit the Plan and draft an update. MAPD held a public engagement session in April following the Mayor’s presentation. The public engagement meeting provided a status report on the existing Delano Plan and invited the public to provide feedback and participate in a design exercise about future development. Following the public engagement session and the publication of Delano’s Turn, a design exercise completed by students from Kansas State University, the Wichita City Council approved of and appointed members to the Delano Advisory Committee with the goal of creating an updated neighborhood plan. The committee is composed of 13 members and includes Delano business, resident, association, and organization representatives. The plan took approximately 7 months to complete and involved input from hundreds of community stakeholders. The end result was the development of the Delano Neighborhood Plan that was presented to MAPC on March 8, 2018 and recommended for adoption as an element of the Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan. On April 11, 2018, the Sedgwick County Board of Commissioners adopted the plan as an amendment to the Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan. On April 17, 2018, the Wichita City Council heard this case but deferred their vote over the course of several meetings until November 13th, 2018 when they voted to return the Delano Neighborhood Plan to the Metropolitan Area Planning Department while work was being completed on the Ballpark Village Master Plan, a component of the Delano Neighborhood Plan. The Plan is a community-wide vision for improvements and development in the Delano neighborhood over the next 15 years. The Ballpark Village Master Plan along with some tweaks to the Delano Neighborhood Plan have now been completed and are being presented today to be considered for adoption as an amendment of the Comprehensive Plan. Recommended Action: That the MAPC pass a resolution adopting the Delano Neighborhood Plan: 2019 as an amendment of the Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan. 6. Stephen Banks with the Planning Department will be presenting on PUD2019-00004 The applicant is seeking to establish the Ballpark Village PUD (PUD #61) on the 24 acre tract generally located on the northeast side of North Sycamore Street and West Maple Street. The applicant is also seeking to remove the DO Delano Overlay zoning from the 10 acre tract of Arkansas River between Douglas Avenue and Waterman Street. This is to clean up the Delano Overlay boundary as this tract was never intended to be zoned DO. The applicant has indicated the intent is to construct a new multi-use sports complex and allow a mix of commercial uses on the property adjacent to the complex. The proposed language for this Planned Unit Development is attached. In 2018, demolition on the Lawrence Dumont stadium began in anticipation of a new Triple-A Minor League Baseball team franchise relocating to the city. The site is being developed through city partnership with this new team and will be guided by the Ballpark Village Master Plan, a component to the Delano Neighborhood Plan. The property is being platted as the Ballpark Village Addition concurrently with this PUD. Development on this PUD will include the new multi-use sports complex. The property is currently zoned LC Limited Commercial, GC General Commercial, and DO Delano Overlay. The property contains the recently demolished Lawrence Dumont baseball stadium, parking lots, a portion of McLean Avenue, and the west bank of the Arkansas River to the east of McLean Avenue. The properties to  Agenda July 1, 2019 3 the north have a mix of LC Limited Commercial, GC General Commercial, CBD Central Business District, and DO Delano Overlay Zoning. The properties have various commercial uses including restaurants, shops, offices, and a church. The properties to the south have a mix of LC Limited Commercial, PUD Planned Unit Development, LI Limited Industrial, and DO Delano Overlay Zoning. The properties have various uses including an ice rink, apartments, a hotel, and an office. The properties to the east have a mix of GC General Commercial, CBD Central Business District, and DO Delano Overlay Zoning. The properties include the Arkansas River immediately to the east, with Century II to the east of the river. The properties to the west have a mix of GC General Commercial, and DO Delano Overlay Zoning. The properties have a mix of single family homes and commercial uses. Recommended Action: Based upon the information available at the time the staff report was prepared, staff recommends APPROVAL of the application subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall record a PUD certificate with the Register of Deeds indicating that this tract (referenced as PUD #61 Ballpark Village PUD) has special conditions for development on the property. 2. 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. This recommendation is based on the following findings: 1. The zoning, uses and character of the neighborhood: The proposed use of the property is not out of character with the existing uses found on site. The PUD and associated Plat bring the site into compliance with the Ballpark Village Master Plan, allow for the reconfiguration of McLean Avenue, and specify new development parcels on the site. The zoning of the neighborhood is a mix of commercial and industrial zoning. The existing development is primarily commercial uses in all directions. There are residential uses to the west of the subject property along Sycamore Street and to the south of the subject property along Maple Street. 2. The suitability of the subject property for the uses to which it has been restricted: The property includes a mix of uses and is following the Ballpark Village Master Plan. The site is intended to become a signature destination on Wichita’s riverfront and will include year-round programming. The property is currently essentially a commercial property that is limited in use because of the development standards applicable in the LC Limited Commercial, GC General Commercial, and DO Delano Overlay zoning. The purpose of the PUD is to accommodate the expansion of the uses without the burdens in that zoning district and provide adequate protections for the neighborhood. The creation of the PUD for this property is reasonable. 3. Extent to which removal of the restrictions will detrimentally affect nearby property: The requirements of the PUD should mitigate detrimental effects on nearby residential properties. 4. Conformance of the requested change to the adopted or recognized Comprehensive Plan and policies: The 2035 Wichita Future Growth Concept Map from the Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan, the Community Investments Plan, identifies the area in which the site is located as appropriate for Residential and Employment Mix within the established Central Area. The recommended rezoning is consistent with the spirit and intent of the Comprehensive Plan and the policies attached to the designation given to this property. The Future Land Use Concept Map from the Delano Neighborhood Plan identifies the area in which the site is located as Ballpark Village. The Ballpark Village Master Plan, an appendix to the Delano Neighborhood Plan, includes detailed recommendations for development with the area designated Ballpark Village. The recommended rezoning is consistent with the spirit and intent of these plans.  Agenda July 1, 2019 4 5. Impact of the proposed development on community facilities: The subject property currently has access to all utilities and paved local streets. 7. Kathy Morgan with the Planning Department will be presenting on ZON2019-00021 The applicant/owner is requesting the rezoning of 255 N. Sabin from SF-5 Single Family Residential (SF-5) to TF-3 Two Family Residential (TF-3). The property is currently vacant. TF-3 zoning district requires a 25-foot front setback and a 20-foot rear setback. The property is approximately 6,520 square feet, with 50 linear feet of frontage along North Sabin Street. The Unified Zoning Code (UZC) requires a minimum of 6,000 square feet per duplex building. Properties north, south, east and west of the subject site are zoned SF-5 and are developed with single-family residences. There is a mix of SF-5 and TF-3 zoned lots within a two block radius of the subject property. Recommended actions: Based upon the information available at the time the staff report was completed, staff recommends APPROVAL of the request, as submitted. Based on these factors, plus the information available prior to the public hearing, staff recommends the request be APPROVED based on the following findings: 1. The zoning, uses and character of the neighborhood: Properties north, south, east and west of the subject site are zoned SF-5 and are developed with single-family residences. There is a mix of SF-5 and TF-3 zoned lots within a two block radius of the subject property. 2. The suitability of the subject property for the uses to which it has been restricted: The property is presently zoned SF-5 Single Family Residential and the property could be developed with a new single- family dwelling. 3. Extent to which removal of the restrictions will detrimentally affect nearby property: Most platted subdivisions that were platted prior to 1950 have a mix of single-family residences and duplexes. Because of the similarity of residential use, the UZC does not require screening between SF-5 and TF-3 zoning districts. 4. Length of time the property has been vacant as currently zoned: A substandard structure on the property is not habitable and requires demolition. 5. Conformance of the requested change to the adopted or recognized Comprehensive Plan and policies: The Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan, the Community Investments Plan, identifies the area in which the site is located as appropriate for residential uses within the Wichita city limit. This includes development of duplexes. The Community Investments Plan identifies the property as appropriate for residential and define residential as a variety of housing types including duplexes. 6. Impact of the proposed development on community facilities: Development of the property would not have any impact on community facilities or resources. All public improvements are available to serve the property. 8. Issues of Concern DAB members have the opportunity to ask questions regarding City topics and identify issues of concern to be addressed.
