PUBLIC HEARING ITEM:

 

ITEM NO. 15:           A TO PCD-2 (W/USE RESTRICTIONS); 18.938 ACRES; NORTH OF 6TH STREET AND EAST OF WAKARUSA DRIVE (BPD)

 

SUMMARY

 

Z-06-19-03:  A request to rezone a tract of land (approximately 18.938 acres) from A (Agricultural) District to PCD-2 (Planned Commercial) District with use restrictions.  The property is generally described as being located at the northeast corner of West Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive.  Carolena Ltd. and Henrysflower LLC are the property owners of record.  Initiated by the City Commission on June 3, 2003 by Ordinance No. 7651, Section 3.  This item was deferred by the Planning Commission at its July 23, 2003 meeting.  At their January 28, 2004, meeting the Planning Commission postponed this item to this month’s meeting.

 

This rezoning request is part of a larger proposal that includes two other rezoning requests (Z-06-18-03 and Z-06-20-03).  These rezoning requests are predicated on an area plan for the West 6th Street/Wakarusa Drive intersection area that was developed in response to City Commission direction.  All three rezoning requests are on this month’s Planning Commission agenda.  The Area Plan was recommended for approved by the Planning Commission at its October 1, 2003 (an extension of the September 24, 2003) meeting and approved by the City Commission at its December 2, 2003 meeting.

 

GENERAL INFORMATION

Surrounding Zoning and Land Use:             RS-1 (Single-Family Residential) District to the north and northeast; public/institutional (Free State High School Complex) and City Indoor Aquatic Center.

 

                                                          A District to the east with a pending rezoning to PRD-2 (Planned Residential Development); cultivated cropland.

 

                                                          PCD-2 (Planned Commercial Development) to the southeast, south, and southwest; commercial, office.

 

PCD-2 to the west with a pending rezoning to PCD-2 with restrictions; undeveloped.

 

A District to the west and northwest; undeveloped, public/institutional (city park).

 

Reason for Request:                               Rezoning initiated by the Lawrence City Commission on June 3, 2003.

 

I.         ZONING AND USES OF PROPERTY NEARBY

 

Staff Finding - The subject property is located at the northeast corner of West 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive.  The property is bounded by Overland Drive to the north, Champion Lane right-of-way to the east, West 6th Street to the south, and Wakarusa Drive to the west.  The property is within the incorporated city limits of the City of Lawrence.

 

There are a wide variety of land uses and zoning patterns surrounding the subject property.  Development patterns around the property occur in various stages ranging from undeveloped lands to the west and cultivated cropland to the east to commercial and office development to the southeast, south, and southwest.  Public and institutional uses are located to the northwest, north, and northeast of the property.

 

Zoning districts around the property include RS-1 (Single-Family Residential) to the north and northeast; Agricultural District to the east with a pending rezoning to PRD-2 (Planned Residential Development); PCD-2 (Planned Commercial Development) to the southeast, south, and southwest; PCD-2 to the west with a pending rezoning to PCD-2 with restrictions; and A District to the west and northwest.

 

II.       CHARACTER OF THE AREA

 

The properties at the southwest and southeast corners of W. 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive are developed with commercial uses.  The area to the southeast, Westgate, contains 22 acres of commercially zoned property while the area to the southwest, Colonial Northeast, contains 12 acres. 

 

The property to the west of the subject property is currently undeveloped.  In 2001, a request to rezone the property to PCD-2 was approved as was a Final Development Plan for the property.  Since that time the property owner has initiated a number of rezonings and proposed development plans for the property.  On June 3, 2003, the City Commission passed Ordinance 7651 (attached) initiating a request to rezone (Z-06-18-03) the property from PCD-2 to PCD-2 with restrictions. That request is on this month’s Planning Commission agenda.

 

Located to the north is the Free State High School campus and the City Indoor Aquatic Center.

 

The property to the east retains its County zoning designation of Agriculture District and is currently being used as cropland.  On June 3, 2003, the City Commission initiated a request to rezone (Z-06-20-03) the property from Agriculture to PRD-2 (Planned Residential Development).  That request is on this month’s Planning Commission agenda.

 

The planned widening and improvement of W. 6th Street will impact the subject property.  The W. 6th Street project is scheduled to be completed in 2005.

 

City sanitary sewer and water can be provided to the subject property.

 

Staff Finding - The subject property is surrounded by a variety of uses at urban development intensity.  These uses include residential, commercial, office, and public/institutional development.  Those areas that do remain undeveloped are quickly developing or are planned to be developed in the near future.

 

III.      SUITABILITY OF SUBJECT PROPERTY FOR THE USES TO WHICH IT HAS BEEN RESTRICTED

 

The subject property lies in the path of urban expansion of the City.  Its current zoning designation (Agriculture) is not conducive to permitting urban level development that is anticipated in this area.  With improvements to City services in and around the area, current restrictions to agriculture and low-density residential development seem less suitable and appropriate for the future development of this area.

 

Staff Finding - The subject property is located inside the corporate limits and may still be used for agricultural purposes.  As urban development continues to surround the subject property, the ability to viably continue the agricultural uses on the property diminishes.  More intensive urban development is appropriate at this location.

 

IV.       LENGTH OF TIME SUBJECT PROPERTY HAS REMAINED VACANT AS ZONED

 

Staff Finding - The subject property has been zoned A (Agricultural District) since the adoption of the Zoning Regulations for the Unincorporated Territory of Douglas County, Kansas in 1966.

 

V.        EXTENT TO WHICH REMOVAL OF RESTRICTIONS WILL DETRIMENTALLY AFFECT NEARBY PROPERTY

 

Rezoning of the 18.938 acres to PCD-2 with use restrictions will increase the potential for development to occur on the subject property.  The proposed use restrictions associated with the rezoning request include limiting the uses allowed on the property to primarily non-retail types of commercial uses.  The purpose of the restriction is to ensure the property develops in a manner consistent with Horizon 2020 and the An Area Plan for the Intersection Area of West 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive.

 

The proposed rezoning of the property to the east to PRD-2 (Z-06-20-03) will provide a buffer and a transitional use for the residential properties to the northeast and east.  Additionally, the PRD-2 will serve as a clear demarcation of where the commercial (node) zoning ends; thus, reducing the likelihood of strip commercial development occurring along this portion of W. 6th Street.

 

The properties to the south and west have already, or will likely, develop in an intensive commercial manner.

 

Staff Finding - Rezoning of the approximately 18.938 acres to PCD-2 with restrictions will not have detrimental effect on nearby property.

 


VI.       RELATIVE GAIN TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE BY THE DESTRUCTION OF THE VALUE OF THE PETITIONER’S PROPERTY AS COMPARED TO THE HARDSHIP IMPOSED UPON THE INDIVIDUAL LANDOWNERS

 

Evaluation of this criterion weighs the benefits to the community-at-large versus the benefits to the owners of the subject property.  Benefits are measured based on the anticipated impacts of the rezoning request on the public's health, safety and welfare.

 

Typically, property within the city limits that is zoned for office uses has a higher value than incorporated agricultural land.  Rezoning the subject property from A to PCD-2 with restrictions will better facilitate the development of the subject property and not place a hardship on the individual landowner.

 

The restriction that no building permit be issued until W. 6th Street Project is substantially completed will ensure that the necessary road infrastructure is in place to handle the amount of traffic that will be generated by the subject property.  Tying the start of any building construction on the subject property to the substantial completion of W. 6th Street addresses public safety concerns by ensuring that the City street network will not be overburdened by new development that occurs at the intersection of W. 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive.

 

Staff Finding - The rezoning of this land will not destroy the value of the subject property or impose a hardship on the landowner or the general public. 

 

VII.     CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

 

Horizon 2020 is the comprehensive plan for the City of Lawrence and the unincorporated portion of Douglas County.  An evaluation of the conformance of this rezoning with the City’s comprehensive plan is based on key features, goals, policies and recommendations of the plan.  The subject property is also in the planning area defined in The Northwest Plan, which was adopted by the Planning Commission and City Commission.

 

The Northwest Plan, An Area Plan for the Intersection Area of West 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive Horizon 2020, and Horizon 2020 discuss the intersection of W. 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive.

 

The Northwest Plan

 

It is the intent of this plan that the policies of Horizon 2020 govern urban land use of development in the northwest plan area.” Pg 9

 

The Northwest Plan includes a map entitled “The Northwest Area Proposed Land Uses” that graphically represents land uses that are appropriate for the northwest corner of W. 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive.  The rezoning request of 18.938 acres is consistent with the proposed land use map contained in The Northwest Plan.

 

An Area Plan for the Intersection Area of West 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive Horizon 2020 adopted by both the Planning Commission and City Commission recommends that less-intensive commercial development occur at this corner.

 

An Area Plan for the Intersection Area of West 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive

 

“As three (3) corners of this intersection are likely to develop as retail centers, it is recommended the remaining corner incorporate less-intensive commercial development.  This corner (northeast corner) is in closest proximity to the high school complex and indoor aquatic center to the north and adjacent residential neighborhoods to the northeast.”  (Pg 18)

 

Horizon 2020 designates a portion of the W. 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive intersection as a Community Commercial Center.

 

“New community commercial areas may include the following locations: portions of the intersection of W. Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive …” (Pg 94)

 

Policy 3.3(a)3 in Horizon 2020 provides guidance for what type of uses are appropriate for the non-retail corners of a Community Commercial Center.

 

“Corners of designated intersections not developed with commercial uses should be utilized for office, employment-related uses, public and semi-public uses, parks and recreation, and with extensive on-site screening, higher-density residential uses.  Encourage the development of mixed-use centers (office, employment-related uses, public and semi-public uses) adjacent to community commercial development to provide mutual attraction to employees and retailers and to enhance the visual image of the area.” (Pg 107)

 

The Area Plan for this intersection specifically recommends that this corner be rezoned to PCD-2 with restrictions on the type of retail uses allowed on the corner.

 

“It is recommended the existing A, Agricultural, zoning designation be rezoned to PCD-2 with restrictions.  The restriction being that the development of this corner (northeast) of the intersection incorporate some kind of recreational commercial use, mixed-use office-residential activity, public or semi-public/institutional use, or other such use or activity that can be demonstrated as having a less intensive impact on traffic patterns and surrounding land use activities and neighborhoods.” (An Area Plan for the Intersection Area of West 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive, Pg 18)

 

The proposed restrictions to be included with this rezoning request would limit the possible retail uses on the subject property to Use Group 7 - Community Facilities, Use Group 11 - Inner Neighborhood Commercial Uses, Use Group 12 - Retail Stores Personal Services, and Use Group 15 - Recreational uses. 

 

This rezoning request will increase the amount of commercial acreage at the intersection and the restrictions that are proposed to be part of the PCD-2 rezoning ordinance will allow some forms of commercial retail uses.  The allowable retail commercial uses are recommended to be those found in Use Group 11 - Inner Neighborhood Commercial Uses and Use Group 12 - Retail Stores Personal Services.  These uses generally require buildings with smaller footprints with the exception of “Food store”.  The use restrictions recommended in this staff report are different from the recommendations made in the staff report dated September 24, 2003.  Additional uses have been added to the list of recommended uses for this corner.  These added uses comply with the nodal plan that recommends “use or activity that can be demonstrated as having less intensive impact on traffic patterns and surrounding land use activities and neighborhoods.”

 

Additional recommend uses are non-retail commercial uses in nature such as Art gallery or museum; Community building, public; Golf driving range, commercial; Golf pitch and putt courses, miniature golf course; and permitted uses in Use Group 15 Amusement, Recreational and Cultural Facilities. 

 

Horizon 2020 provides the following guideline for the amount retail commercial space that should be allowed in the Community Commercial Center.

 

“Community centers typically contain a gross leasable area of 150,000 square feet, but may contain 100,000 to 450,000 square feet.” (Pg 92)

 

The table below shows that the current amount of approved retail space at the intersection of W. 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive is approximately 380,000 gross square feet.  This is 130,000 square feet more than the “typical” amount of retail square footage recommended by Horizon 2020 for a Community Commercial Center.

The Area Plan for this intersection recommends a maximum of 62,000 gross square feet of retail space for this corner.

 

An Area Plan for the Intersection Area of West 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive

 

“It is also recommended that up to 62,000gsf would be permissible for retail commercial use if planned as part of an overall development plan incorporating a mix of uses that are designed to be pedestrian-friendly.” (Pg 18)

 

Staff Finding - The rezoning request is in conformance with The Northwest Plan and the comprehensive plan, Horizon 2020.

 

STAFF REVIEW

 

This rezoning request is part of a larger proposal for recommending land uses in the West 6th Street/Wakarusa Drive intersection area which extends north of West 6th Street from Congressional Drive to Folks Road.  At present, there is no approved development plan for the subject property (the northeast corner of the West 6th Street/Wakarusa Drive intersection).  The rezoning of the subject property to PCD-2 with use restrictions will encourage development to occur in a manner that will comply with Horizon 2020 and The Northwest Plan and will ensure that the commercial portion of the intersection will be well integrated with the surrounding uses.  The purpose of the use restrictions recommended for the subject property is to encourage smaller footprint retail shops and/or a family entertainment center or other recreational type uses.

 

A concern for the development pattern for this corner of the intersection is the massing and scale of buildings at the northeast corner in relationship to the building patterns to the south.  The scale of any buildings constructed at this corner should provide a transition from the commercial buildings on the south side of W. 6th Street to the Free State High School building to the north.  In order to insure that development of this corner provides that transition in massing and scale, Planning staff recommends limiting the size of any one building at this corner to a maximum of 50,000 gross square feet.  50,000 gross square feet is the approximate size of the Dillon’s building on the south side of W. 6th Street.

 

The rezoning of the subject property is appropriate for an increasingly urbanizing area.  The rezoning of the subject property is not likely to cause detrimental effects to surrounding neighborhoods or individual property owners.

 

The rezoning request of the subject property is in conformance with the City’s comprehensive plan, Horizon 2020 and the Northwest Plan, an area plan for four square miles of northwest Lawrence.  The rezoning of the subject property to PCD-2 with restrictions will facilitate the development of the property in a manner that is in conformance with Horizon 2020.

 

On June 3, 2003, the City Commission adopted Ordinance 7651 (attached) establishing a temporary building permit moratorium for an area north of W. 6th Street including the subject property.  On December 2, 2003, the City Commission extended this moratorium to March 1, 2004.

 

At their June 3, 2003, meeting the City Commission directed Planning staff (see attached City Commission minutes) to develop an area plan for the W. 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive intersection.  The Area Plan (An Area Plan for the Intersection Area of West 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive) has been adopted by both the Planning Commission and City Commission.  This rezoning proposal is consistent with the recommendations in An Area Plan for the Intersection Area of West 6th Street and Wakarusa Drive.

 

Planning staff has had a informal discussions with the property owner’s representatives regarding potential development proposals for the subject property.  However, no formal development application has been received by the Planning office.
