Title
CUP2004-00060 (Associated with ZON2004-00068) – Commercial CUP and Zone Change from SF-20 Single-family Residential to LC Limited Commercial; on property located on the southeast corner of East 31st Street south and South Rock Road (District 5).
Body
Recommended Action: Rescind the one-year platting requirement imposed on the commercial CUP and zone change request, authorize the Chairman to sign the resolution and authorize the resolution to be published.
Background: On December 5, 2007, the Board of County Commissioners approved a zone change from SF-20 Single-Family Residential to LC Limited Commercial and CUP2004-00060 on 24 acres located on the southeast corner of East 31st Street South and South Rock Road. The zone change was approved subject to platting the property within one year. The applicant has requested the elimination of the platting requirement to perfect the zoning.
Analysis: In light of the Wichita-Sedgwick County Metropolitan Area Planning Commission policy which has ended the one-year platting requirement, the Wichita-Sedgwick County Metropolitan Area Planning Department recommends that the one-year platting requirement be rescinded by the Board of County Commissioners, and the Resolution adopted and published.
Alternatives: No Applicable.
Financial Considerations: No Applicable.
Legal Considerations: Approval is by simple majority vote.
Policy Considerations: On March 17, 2016, the Wichita-Sedgwick County Metropolitan Area Planning Commission voted to eliminate MAPC Policy No. 5, which required zoning cases to be perfected by platting the property within one year. However, zoning cases filed prior to the elimination of MAPC Policy No. 5 still have a requirement of platting within one year to perfect the zoning.
