Title
ZON2004-00069 - Extension of time to complete the platting requirement for a zone change from "SF-20" Single-Family Residential to "LI" Limited Industrial for approximately 0.6 acres located north of K-96 and east of Greenwich Road. District 1.
Body
Recommended Action: Approve a one-year extension of time to complete platting.
Background: On March 16, 2005, the Board of County Commissioners approved a zone change from SF-20 Single Family ("SF-20") to LI Limited Industrial ("LI") for 0.6 acres located north of K-96 and east of Greenwich Road. The zone change was approved subject to the provisions of Protective Overlay #153 and platting the property within one year. The Board of County Commissioners has approved platting extensions through April 13, 2013. Due to the continuing economic conditions, the property owner's agent requests an additional platting extension of two years (see the attached letter).
Staff recommends that a two-year extension of time to complete platting requirements be granted to extend the platting deadline to April 13, 2013.
Alternatives: The Board of County Commissioners may deny the request for a platting extension. Such a decision would declare the zone change null and void and would require reapplication and rehearing if the property owner still desired a zone change.
Financial Considerations: Not Applicable
Legal Considerations: Approved as to form and signed by County Counselor's Office
No legal documents are required to enact the granting of platting extension. The granting of a platting extension is indicated via letter to the applicant noting the date of the action by the Board of County Commissioners. Extension of time for platting is authorized by MAPC policy statement No. 5.
Policy Considerations: Wichita-Sedgwick County Metropolitan Area Planning Commission Policy Statement No. 5 indicates that the Board of County Commissioners may grant a platting extension in this instance.
