CUP2020-00002 and ZON2020-00003 Rezoning from SF-5 Single Family Residential, GC General Commercial with CUP DP141, and GC General Commercial with CUP DP-86 to GC General Commercial, and CUP DP-353: Harbor Isle Commercial 2 Community Unit Plan. Philip Zevenbergen, Associate Planner, Metropolitan Area Planning Department, will present an application on behalf of Broadmoor One, LLC (Applicant)/ Baughman Company c/o Phil Meyer (agent). This request application is to change the zoning to GC General Commercial (where not currently zoned such) and establish the Harbor Isle Commercial 2 Community Unit Plan (DP-353) for the 23.51 acres zoned SF-5 Single Family Residential (SF-5) and GC General Commercial (GC). The property is located north of I-235 and on the east and west sides of North Amidon Avenue. West 40th Street North has recently been extended to the west to intersect North Meridian. It now acts as a frontage road for this entire property. The applicant will be submitting a plat for review by the Planning Commission. The applicant is requesting the change of zoning classification for the parcel west of North Amidon from SF-5 to GC to match all parcels east of North Amidon. The property east of North Amidon is currently part of the Word of Life Ministries CUP DP-141. The new CUP will also contain a 4.4 acre tract of land identified as Parcel B in the Dukes Diamonds CUP DP-86. The three properties will be combined to create this new CUP. The Word of Life CUP DP-141 shall cease to exist and the Dukes Diamonds CUP DP-86 shall be amended to remove Parcel B from the CUP. RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the information available at the time the staff report was prepared it is recommended that the request for GC General Commercial be APPROVED, subject to the following conditions: 1. The Development Guidelines shall be modified to read in accordance with the attached recommendation. 2. The site shall be developed in substantial conformance with the revised development guidelines and general provisions of the approved CUP. 3. The applicant shall record a CUP certificate with the Register of Deeds indicating that this tract (referenced as DP-353: Harbor Isle Commercial 2 Community Unit Plan has special conditions for development on the property. A copy of the recorded certificate along with four copies of the approved CUP shall be submitted to the Metropolitan Area Planning Department within 60 days of final approval to the Metropolitan Area Planning Department or the amendment shall be deemed null and void. This recommendation is based on the following findings: 1. The zoning, uses and character of the neighborhood: Land located south and west of the subject property is right-of-way for I-235/ K-96. Property to the north is zoned SF-5 (with BZA59-81 to expand soil extraction) and SF-20 Single Family Residential (SF-20). The majority of the land is undeveloped land. The reminder is a bus maintenance and storage facility for the Wichita Unified School District 259 complete with driver training field. Property to the ease is zoned GC and is part of the Dukes Diamonds Community Unit Plan (DP-86). The property is developed as a sports complex with a baseball diamond and football/soccer field.  District 6 Advisory Board 3 Agenda for March 2, 2020 2. The suitability of the subject property for the uses to which it has been restricted: The subject property is mix of zoning with SF-5 Single Family Residential and GC General Commercial and could remain such. However, with the extension of West 40th Street North to have access to North Meridian, it is likely for this land to be redeveloped with more intensity either with residential or commercial. 3. Extent to which removal of the restrictions will detrimentally affect nearby property: GC General Commercial zoning is an appropriate base zone for this area given the frontage and proximity the CUP2020-00002 and ZON2020-00003 Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Page 5 I-235 highway frontage. With the recommended development standards, approval of the proposed CUP should have minimal detrimental impact on nearby property. 4. 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 would add commercial and office development to this area, which is generally considered a gain to the public welfare in that it expands the employment and tax base. Denial would presumably represent a loss of economic opportunity to the applicant and/or land owner. 5. Conformance of the requested change to the adopted or recognized Comprehensive Plan and policies: The 2035 Wichita Future Growth Concept map indicates the site is appropriate for “new residential.” However, there are areas nearby that are indicated as appropriate for “residential and employment mix” and “commercial.” This area is located within Wichita’s 2035 urban growth area. The residential/employment mix and the commercial encompass areas of land that will likely be developed or redeveloped by 2035 with uses predominately of a mixed nature. 6. Impact of the proposed development on community facilities: The platting of this property will provide guarantees for needed community facilities to be obtained. Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval. 7. Issues of Concern DAB members have the opportunity to ask questions regarding City topics and identify issues of concern to be addressed. Recommended Action: Receive and file. 8. Neighborhood Reports DAB members may report events/activities from the neighborhood/homeowners groups in their areas. Recommended Action: Receive and file. 9. Updates from Council Member The next DAB 6 meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Apr. 06, 2020, at the Evergreen Library, 2601 N. Arkansas, Wichita, KS 67204. ADJOURN
