Title
ZON2018-00034 - A COUNTY ZONING CASE TO REZONE PROPERTY FROM RR RURAL RESIDENTIAL TO GO GENERAL OFFICE LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF EAST 101ST STREET NORTH AND NORTH 47TH STREET EAST (OLIVER AVENUE).
Presented by: Dale Miller, Director of Planning.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the rezoning as recommended by the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission (MAPC), adopt the findings of the MAPC and approve the prepared resolution.
Body
Background: The applicant requests the rezoning of the 5.14-acre tract on the west side of Oliver Avenue and north of 101st Street North from RR Rural Residential (RR) to GO General Office (GO).

The two other lots will remain RR Rural Residential and be for future residential development. It is important to note that the rezoning to GO will allow the office use, but any outside storage of equipment or other materials associated with the owner's business are not permitted within the GO General Office zoning district.
The conceptual site plan for the GO lot shows an office building with two access drives on Oliver Avenue and one on 101st Street North. According to the plat being processed, these access drives have been approved by Sedgwick County Public Works. The staff report for the plat indicates this property is located within the territory of Sedgwick County Rural Water District #2. There are no public sewers within this area, so on-site wastewater systems will be required.
The surrounding neighborhood is mostly rural and agricultural and is zoned
