Body
Background: The applicant proposes PUD #36 Camp Hyde Planned Unit Development (“PUD”), generally located east of South 263 Street West and south of West 71st Street South. Current zoning on this property is RR Rural Residential (“RR”). Camp Hyde (a YMCA youth camp) has existed at this location prior to zoning regulations in the county; several buildings, stables, and a pond exist on the site. In addition to the proposed PUD, the applicant is in the process of platting the property.
The proposed PUD is 119 acres with one parcel and one floodway reserve for Clearwater Creek, see the attached PUD document. On Parcel 1, the applicant proposes 35 percent building coverage, 35-foot arterial street setbacks, 15-foot interior setbacks, all uses permitted in the RR district and the following permitted uses: overnight cabins, group residences, multi-family housing, bed and breakfast, hotel, RV park, church, memorial facility, community assembly, auditorium, amphitheater, arts and crafts center, camp lodge/conference center allowing event rentals, day care general, school, storage buildings, retail convenience store for guests, ATM, gift shop, restaurant and dining hall, general retail, museum/library, outdoor and indoor recreation for sports and activities, swimming pool, animal care general, and outdoor storage of camp equipment. Proposed parking is to be gravel, light poles are limited to 30 feet and 15 feet within 200 feet of residential use, and screening is to be per the Unified Zoning Code. Proposed signage is limited to two pole, monument, or pylon signs per arterial frontage, with an incorporated arch sign permitted on the north property line. No signs are to exceed 150 square feet in size or 20 feet in height, and no flashing, moving, or billboard signs are permitted. Portable and pennant signs are allowed for events only. The surrounding area is all zoned RR and mostly used for agriculture. Residences exist immediately north of the site, across 71st Street South, and immediately west of the site, across 263rd Street West. Several other residences exist within a half-mile of the site to the south, east, and west.
Analysis: The MAPC heard this request at their January 5, 2012 meeting. No members of the public spoke on this request and no protests were received. The MAPC voted (11-0) to approve the request subject to the following staff recommended conditions:
1. Development shall be in substantial conformance with the PUD plan and all conditions and requirements as shown on the PUD.
2. General Provision #3.A. shall be amended to include the following: “All residential development shall be limited to the SF-20 density on the overall site”; and, “All retail and restaurant uses shall be Camp Hyde accessory uses for guest and visitor use only”.
3. General Provision #8 shall be amended to state: “Signs: As permitted under the current Sedgwick County Sign Code. Additionally the following conditions shall apply:”
4. General Provision #13 shall be added to the PUD stating “All building and development on this property shall conform to all applicable codes to include but not limited to zoning, building, health, and fire codes.”
5. If the Zoning Administrator finds that there is a violation of any of the conditions of the Planned Unit Development, the Zoning Administrator, in addition to enforcing the other remedies set forth in Article VIII of the Unified Zoning Code, may, with the concurrence of the Planning Director, declare that the PUD is null and void.
6. Any major changes in this development plan shall be submitted to the Planning Commission and to the Governing Body for their consideration.
7. The transfer of title of all or any portion of the land included within the Planned Unit Development does not constitute a termination of the plan or any portion thereof, but said plan shall run with the land and be binding upon the present owners, their successors and assigns, unless amended.
8. Prior to publishing the resolution establishing the PUD zone change, the applicant(s) shall record a document with the Register of Deeds indicating that this tract (referenced as PUD #36) includes special conditions for development on this property.
9. The applicant shall submit 4 revised copies of the PUD to the Metropolitan Area Planning Department within 60 days after approval of this case by the Governing Body, or the request shall be considered denied and closed.
Alternatives:
1. Approve the zone change to PUD #36 Camp Hyde Planned Unit Development, subject to conditions and platting within one year, adopt the findings of the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission; direct staff to prepare an appropriate resolution after the plat has been recorded and conditions have been met, and authorize the Chairman to sign the resolution.
2. Return such recommendation to the MAPC with a statement specifying the basis for the BOCC’s failure to approve or disapprove.
3. Deny the zone change and override the MAPC recommendation with a 2/3 vote.
Financial Considerations: Not applicable.
Legal Considerations: The City of Wichita and Sedgwick County are authorized by K.S.A. 12-741, et seq. to adopt a joint zoning code. The City and County have done so, and in that code have provided for the zoning of properties by approval of a Planned Unit Development (Sec. III.C.1 of the Unified Zoning Code).
Policy Considerations: The MAPC recommendations are based upon the findings of fact stated in the MAPC minutes.
