REQUEST: Conditional Use for Wrecking/Salvage Yard
CURRENT ZONING: GI General Industrial
SITE SIZE: 0.95 acres
LOCATION: Generally located west of North Mosley Avenue and one quarter-mile south of East
21st Street North (2055 North Mosley Avenue).

Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Page 1
BACKGROUND: This application was filed to request a Conditional Use permit to allow for a Wrecking/Salvage
Yard on property generally located west of North Mosley Avenue and one quarter-mile south of East 21st Street
North (2055 North Mosley Avenue). The property currently contains a pair of buildings will remain on site. The site
is zoned GI General Industrial. The applicant intends to use the site as a Tow Yard where vehicles are stored after
being towed there and awaiting sale. The Wichita-Sedgwick County Unified Zoning Code (“UZC”) defines
“Wrecking/Salvage Yard” as a lot, land or structure, or part thereof, used for the collecting, dismantling, storing
and/or salvaging of machinery, equipment, appliances, inoperable vehicles, vehicle parts, bulky waste, salvage
material, junk, or discarded materials; and/or for the sale of parts thereof. Typical uses include motor vehicle
salvage yards and junkyards. “Wrecking/Salvage Yard” can be permitted by Conditional Use in GI zoning.
Surrounding Development: All properties surrounding the site are zoned GI General Industrial and include
various industrial uses.
CASE HISTORY: The site has not been platted.
ADJACENT ZONING AND LAND USE:
NORTH: GI Industrial
SOUTH: GI Industrial
EAST: GI Industrial
WEST: GI Industrial
PUBLIC SERVICES: The subject property has access to North Mosley Avenue, a two-lane, paved arterial road.
Municipal water and sewer services and all other utilities are currently provided to the subject property.
CONFORMANCE TO PLANS/POLICIES: The Community Investment Plan depicts the subject site as
appropriate for “new employment”. With current industrial uses nearby and the previous use of this property as
industrial, adding a tow yard to the area will conform to the vision of The Community Investments Plan.
RECOMMENDATION: Based on the information available prior to the public hearing, MAPD staff recommends
the application be APPROVED, subject to the following conditions:
a. The site is to be developed as shown on the attached Site Plan.
b. Any changes to the site shall be reviewed and approved by the Director of Planning prior to issuance of
any building permits.
c. 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 the Unified
Zoning Code, may, with the concurrence of the Planning Director, declare that the Conditional Use is
null and void.
The staff’s recommendation is based on the following findings:
(1) The zoning, uses and character of the neighborhood: All properties surrounding the site are zoned
GI General Industrial and include various industrial uses.
(2) The suitability of the subject property for the uses to which it has been restricted: This property is
zoned GI and is surrounded by industrial uses. The property is suitable for the uses to which it has been
restricted.
(3) Extent to which removal of the restrictions will detrimentally affect nearby property: The site has
been used for industrial purposes for many years and has not had an adverse effect on nearby property.
The nearby uses should not be negatively impacted by this new use.
CON2020-00009
Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Page 2
(4) Conformance of the requested change to adopted or recognized Plans/Policies: The Community
Investment Plan depicts the subject site as appropriate for “new employment”. With current industrial
uses nearby and the previous use of this property as industrial, adding a tow yard to the area will conform to
the vision of The Community Investments Plan.
(5) Impact of the proposed development on community facilities: The new use will have little to no
new impacts on community facilities when compared to its previous use. The subject property has
access to North Mosley Avenue, a two-lane, paved arterial road. Municipal water and sewer services
and all other utilities are currently provided to the subject property.

Zoning Code, may, with the concurrence of the Planning Director, declare that the Conditional Use is
null and void.
The staff’s recommendation is based on the following findings:

CASE NUMBER: ZON2020-00008
APPLICANT/AGENT: Mitch and Mary Pinkham (owners); Ferris Consulting, Greg Ferris (Agent)
REQUEST: OW Office Warehouse
CURRENT ZONING: LC Limited Commercial
SITE SIZE: 0.26 acre
LOCATION: South of W. Central Avenue east of I-235 on the east side of N. Hoover Avenue
PROPOSED USE: Storage for construction sales and service
BACKGROUND: The applicant requests OW Office Warehouse zoning on a 0.26 platted acre property
located 250 feet south of West Central Avenue and 300 feet east of North I-235 on the east side of North
Hoover Avenue (636 N. Hoover Avenue). The subject site is currently a vacant lot zoned LC Limited
Commercial. Construction sales and service is permitted in the LC zoning district. However,
Supplementary Use Regulation Sec III-D.6.bb requires that construction sales and service shall be mainly
a retail business. The applicant wants to change the zoning to allow storage of construction equipment.
Properties surrounding the subject site are zoned LC Limited Commercial of mixed uses. Goodwill
Industries is located north of the subject site. Property west of the site is a vacant lot and a single-family
dwelling. Property south of the subject site is developed with a single-family dwelling. Property east of
the subject site is developed with a single-family residence. Solid wood fence screening exists along the
east and south property lines.
CASE HISTORY: The property was platted in 1929 as the Fruitvale Park Addition. No other cases are
associated with this property.
ADJACENT ZONING AND LAND USE:
North: LC Goodwill Industries
South: LC Single-Family dwellings
East: LC Single-Family dwellings
West: LC Single-Family dwelling and unimproved property
PUBLIC SERVICES: The site has access to West Central Avenue, a four-lane arterial street with a center
turn lane and an 80-foot right-of-way. North Hoover Avenue is a local paved collector street with travel in
both directions. The site has one access point onto North Hoover Avenue. The site is served by all typical
municipal services.
CONFORMANCE TO PLANS/POLICIES: : The adopted Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive
Plan, the Community Investments Plan, identifies the site as being located within the Established Central
Area. The Future Growth Concept Map identifies the area as “Commercial”. Commercial areas reflect the
full diversity of commercial development densities and types typically found in a large urban municipality.
RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the information available at the time the staff report was completed,
staff recommends APPROVAL of the request. This recommendation is based on the following findings:
1. The zoning, uses and character of the neighborhood: Properties surrounding the subject site are
zoned LC Limited Commercial of mixed uses. Goodwill Industries is located north of the subject
site. Property west of the site is a vacant lot and a single-family dwelling. Property south of the
subject site is developed with a single-family dwelling. Property east of the subject site is
developed with a single-family residence. Solid wood fence screening exists along the east and
south property lines.
2. The suitability of the subject property for the uses to which it has been restricted: The property is
located 250 feet south of a major arterial street. Traffic generated by construction equipment
storage will minimal as the area is already impacted by traffic noise and car trips through the
intersection of N. Hoover Avenue and W. Central Avenue.
3. Extent to which removal of the restrictions will detrimentally affect nearby property: Approval of
the request would allow development of construction equipment storage and provide economic
opportunity in the area.
ZON2020-08
Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Page 2
4. 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.
5. Conformance of the requested change to the adopted or recognized Comprehensive Plan and
policies: The adopted Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan, the Community Investments
Plan, identifies the site as being located within the Established Central Area. The Future Growth
Concept Map identifies the area as “Commercial”. Commercial areas reflect the full diversity of
commercial development densities and types typically found in a large urban municipality.
6. 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 OW zoning.

APPLICANT/AGENT: Venture Rentals, Darin Campbell (Owner), Kaw Valley Engineering (Levi Bond,
Agent)
REQUEST: LI Limited Industrial
CURRENT ZONING: SF-5 Single-Family Residential and LC Limited Commercial
SITE SIZE: 2.8 acres
LOCATION: One Block West of North Broadway Avenue south of East 37th Street North
PROPOSED USE: Expansion of Existing Businesses East of the Subject Property
BACKGROUND: The applicant is seeking LI Limited Industrial zoning for approximately 2.8 acres
located one block west of North Broadway Avenue between North Market Street and North Park Place.
The north and south boundaries of the subject property are East 35th Street North and East 34th Street North
The property is currently zoned SF-5 Single-family Residential and LC Limited Commercial, which are a
mix of lots developed with single-family dwellings and vacant lots. Access to the site would be from North
Broadway Avenue and through a gated access point from East 35th Street North.
Portions of North Market Street Public Right-of-Way were vacated (VAC2018-00003) from 34th to 35th
and East 34th Street North and was vacated from Market to Broadway to expand the industrial
development site for existing landscaping and construction businesses east of the subject property.
Existing residential structures will be removed to allow a new storage building for storage of equipment
and to provide space for an outdoor lay down yard similar to the other areas along Market for outdoor
implement storage and landscaping supply storage.
Property to the north of the subject site is currently zoned LI and is developed with a non-conforming
residential structure, and Wichita Pipe manufacturing, storage and office building. East of the subject
property is zoned LI and is developed with limited manufacturing, warehousing/storage, general
contracting, and general office buildings. Properties to the south are zoned LC Limited Commercial and
SF-5 and are developed with multi-family residential and single family dwellings. Land to the west of the
subject site is zoned SF-5 and is developed with single-family dwellings.
The Unified Zoning Code (UZC) requires solid fencing, 6-8 feet tall constructed of brick, stone, concrete
masonry, stucco, concrete or wood, evergreen vegetation, landscaped berms or some combination of the
three where adjacent to residential zoning. The Wichita Landscape Ordinance requires landscaping be
installed when abutting residential zoning districts.
Solid screening and a landscape buffer will be required along the north and south interior property lines of
abutting SF-5 zoned property along North Park Place and the rear property lines where SF-5 zoned property
abuts existing LI zoning. A landscaped street yard (per the requirements of the Wichita Landscape
Ordinance) and solid fencing will be required along the LI zoning along North Park Place and East 34 th
Street North. Loading docks, trash receptacles, ground and/or roof level heating/air conditioning,
mechanical equipment, free-standing coolers or refrigeration units, outdoor storage or work areas located
within 150 feet of residential zoning must be screened.
In addition, Compatibility building setbacks are required along the side and rear lot lines of SF-5 zoning
districts abutting LI (minimum of 15 feet plus one foot for each five feet of lot width over 50 feet up to a
maximum of 25 feet). Compatibility height standards state no structure shall exceed 35 feet in height within
50 feet of the lot line of property zoned SF-5. Structures located 50 feet from the lot line can increase in
height at a ratio of 1 foot in height for every 3 feet of setback. Noise compatibility standards prohibit sound
amplification systems if the sound can be heard within any residential zoning.
CASE HISTORY: The property is located in the Jones Park Addition North Wichita, which was platted
in May 1920.
ADJACENT ZONING AND LAND USE:
NORTH: LI Limited manufacturing, general contracting, warehouse/storage,
distribution, general office buildings
SOUTH: LC & SF-5 Multi-family Residential and Single-Family dwelling units
EAST: LI Limited manufacturing, warehousing/storage, general contracting, and
general office buildings
WEST: SF-5 Single-Family dwellings
ZON2019-41
Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Page 2
PUBLIC SERVICES: North Broadway Avenue is a four-lane arterial with two lanes of traffic in both
directions. Public sewer and water service are available for the business expansion.
CONFORMANCE TO PLANS/POLICIES: The adopted Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive
Plan, the Community Investments Plan, identifies the site as being located within the Wichita City Limit.
The Plan’s 2035 Wichita Future Growth Concept Map identifies this location as an area of industrial and
commercial development that likely will be developed or redeveloped by 2035. The proposed rezoning is
appropriate due to the proximity of higher intensity business uses. The existing commercial and industrial
uses will have limited negative impacts associated with noise, hazardous emissions, visual blight and odor.
RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the information available at the time the staff report was completed,
staff recommends APPROVAL of the request.
This recommendation is based on the following findings:
1. The zoning, uses and character of the neighborhood. The area is a mix of zoning – LI, LC and SF-
5 – and various uses – limited manufacturing, general contracting, warehouse/storage, distribution,
general office buildings and residential. This area along North Broadway Avenue is predominantly
industrial and manufacturing uses and is experiencing some growth. The older residential area to
the west stagnant and as residential dwellings are removed the lots are left vacant.
2. The suitability of the subject property for the uses to which it has been restricted. The SF-5 zoned
lots could be used for single family dwellings. The LC zoned lots do not allow the uses needed for
the applicant’s existing business proposed expansion, which is best served with the entire zoning
lot be zoned LI.
3. Extent to which removal of the restrictions will detrimentally affect nearby property: “LI” zoning
will not provide a stepping down of the intensity of uses between the existing LI and SF-5 zoning.
Required compatibility standards and screening per the UZC can minimize any negative impacts
to the SF-5 zoning district along the west side of the subject property.
4. Conformance of the requested change to the adopted or recognized Comprehensive Plan and
policies: The adopted Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan, the Community
Investments Plan, identifies the site as being located within the Wichita City Limit. The Plan’s
2035 Wichita Future Growth Concept Map identifies this location as an area of industrial and
commercial development that likely will be developed or redeveloped by 2035. The proposed
rezoning is appropriate due to the proximity of higher intensity business uses. The existing
commercial and industrial uses will have limited negative impacts associated with noise, hazardous
emissions, visual blight and odor.
5. Impact of the proposed development on community facilities: Approval of the request should
generate limited impact on community facilities. Existing public infrastructure at the site will
accommodate uses under the proposed LI zoning.

City of Wichita
District Advisory Board Meeting
June 1, 2020
TO: District Advisory Board Members
SUBJECT: Preliminary Budget Overview: 2021-2022 Operating Budget
INITIATED BY: Finance Department
AGENDA: New Business
Recommendations: Receive and file.
Background: 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 provide
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.
Analysis: This meeting will provide 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 presented on July 14, 2020 after all input and discussion has been
evaluated and recommended changes are made. A public hearing will be held on August 4, 2020, and budget
adoption will follow on August 11, 2020.
Financial Considerations: The 2021-2022 Proposed Budget sets the service level priorities and projected
expenditures for the City of Wichita.
Legal Considerations: The operating budget will be presented to the City Council on July 14, a public
hearing will be held on August 4, and the budget will be adopted on August 11 in order to be in compliance
with state law.
Recommendation/Actions: Provide comments regarding the 2021-2022 Proposed Budget.

The 21 Beat team and I have been monitoring Naftzger Park mostly for skateboarders. I
think that we have gotten the word out. I have not seen nor have reported any
skateboarders, or damage from skateboarders as of late.
We did have several dumpsters set on fire in the last month and were able to use the blue
light project cameras to identify the suspect. The fire investigator is following up on that
case. If any of you are interested in becoming a blue light partner please let me know, I
am more than willing to assist in making that happen, as well as share success stories.
For questions, or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact me at my email

HOT Team Report
Due to COVID-19, most of the shelters keep them quarantined in place at the shelter
therefor there have been less homeless complaints and campsites. HOT has been able
to address complaints almost immediately reporting faster response than normal. HOT is
currently working in partnership with the Department and Housing and Services for a
million dollar grant through the Department of Justice. This grant will fund 3 to 4 case
managers to help stabilized homeless once homeless are housed. The team will be
presenting to City Council soon for approval to apply for this grant.
