LOCATION: Generally located four blocks west of South West Street and one-and-one-half block south of West Central Avenue (538 North Anna Street) PROPOSED USE: Duplex ZON2020-00028 Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Page 1 BACKGROUND: The applicant/owner is requesting the rezoning of a lot located at 538 North Anna Street from Single-Family Residential (SF-5) to TF-3 Two Family Residential (TF-3). The applicant desires to construct a duplex on this lot in the manner depicted on the site plan drawing attached to the application. There is also an elevation rendering of the proposed duplex. Both documents are attached to this staff report. The subject property is approximately 8,425 square feet, (62-feet wide by 135-feet deep). The proposed site plan shows only a 20 front setback, which will not be permitted for a building permit. There is also a platted easement covering the east 5 feet of the subject property which will need to be addressed in the final citing of any building on the property. The original single-family residence was destroyed by fire in February 2020. TF-3 zoning district requires a 25-foot front setback and a 20-foot rear setback. The surrounding properties are zoned SF-5 and are developed with single-family residences. There are TF-3 zoned lots within a 1,000 feet radius of the property. There is LC Limited Commercial zoned lots located one-half block south of the subject property at all four corners of the intersection of West St. Louis Avenue and North Anna Street. CASE HISTORY: The subject site is located in the Orchard Park Addition perfected in May, 1929. No other zoning cases are associated with this property. ADJACENT ZONING AND LAND USE: NORTH: SF-5 Single-family residences SOUTH: SF-5 Single-family residences EAST: SF-5 Single-family residences WEST: SF-5 Single-family residences PUBLIC SERVICES: North Anna Street is a local, paved collector street with a 70-foot right-of-way with on-street parking on both sides of the street. The property has access to West Central Avenue and west 2nd Street by other local connector streets. Water and Sewer Utilities are available to the site and can accommodate any additional demand created by the zone change. CONFORMANCE TO PLANS/POLICIES: The Wichita-Sedgwick County Community Investments Plan, identifies the area in which the site is located Established Central Area. The site is located within the urban infill strategy area Wichita: Places for People plan, where residential development is encouraged. The uses envisioned for redevelopment in this area include duplexes. The Community Investments Plan identifies the property as appropriate for residential and defines residential as a variety of housing types including duplexes. RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the information available at the time the staff report was completed, staff recommends APPROVAL of the request, with a Protective Overlay #354 as follows: 1. The following conditions shall apply to ZON2020-00028: a. Garages. The garage face shall occupy no more than 50 percent of the ground-level façade facing the street and may not project more than five feet in front of the main facade. b. Entrances. Pedestrian scaled entry shall be a prominent feature of the front elevation. Front doors shall be oriented to the street in front of the units. c. Architectural Variety. Developments shall achieve architectural variety by accommodating a variety of architectural styles that are compatible or consistent with the surrounding neighborhood, variation of the same architectural style, and through the use of multiple design elements. Duplicative house designs adjacent to each other are highly discouraged. Simple reverse configurations of the same house design on adjacent lots are not sufficient to meet this standard. d. Windows and Transparency. Transparent windows and/or doors facing the street are required. To meet this requirement, at least 10 percent of the façade must be transparent. The façade is ZON2020-00028 Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Page 2  measured from the base of the house to the start of the roofline and any other vertical walls facing the street, except for gabled portions of the facade not containing livable floor area. Garages facing the street shall count as part of the façade. e. Roof Design. Roofs shall have variation in roof planes in order to break up the large roof mass through dormers, gables, or changes in elevation. Roof forms and roof pitches of porches, dormers and garages shall be consistent and complement the building style within the neighborhood. f. Siding materials. Siding materials shall be appropriate to the architectural style of the structure. Traditional materials consistent with the neighborhood architectural styles are encouraged such as wood, masonry and brick. Siding materials and window trim should be consistent on all sides of the structures. g. HVAC. HVAC units shall be located away from the front of the buildings and screened from public view through landscaping and/or screen walls. 2. The parking area shall not cover more than 50% of the front yard and trash dumpsters shall not be permitted in front of the duplex building. 3. A site plan shall be approved by the Director of Planning before any building permits are issued. 4. Prior to publishing the ordinance establishing the zone change, the applicants shall record a document with the Register of Deeds indicating that this tract includes special conditions for development on this property. This recommendation is based on the following findings: 1. The zoning, uses and character of the neighborhood: The surrounding properties are zoned SF-5 and are developed with single-family residences. There are TF-3 zoned lots within a 1,000 feet radius of the property. There is LC Limited Commercial zoned lots located one-half block south of the subject property at all four corners of the intersection of West St. Louis Avenue and North Anna Street. 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 1950s are predominantly 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. Conformance of the requested change to the adopted or recognized Comprehensive Plan and policies: The Wichita-Sedgwick County Community Investments Plan, identifies the area in which the site is located Established Central Area. The site is located within the urban infill strategy area, where residential development is encouraged. The uses envisioned for redevelopment in this area include duplexes. The Community Investments Plan identifies the property as appropriate for residential and defines residential as a variety of housing types including duplexes. 5. Impact of the proposed development on community facilities: Development of the property would not have any impact on community facilities or resources. On-site parking will be required for the new development. All public improvements are available to serve the property.
