Commission rezones Western plan
By Dave Wakefield Kansan staff writer
Less than 24 hours after receiving the Western Development Plan, city commissioners went against the plan's guidelines by rezoning 15.8 acres for commercial use at a lot in West Lawrence.
The lot, at the southwest corner of Wakarusa Drive and U.S. Highway 40, is owned by Jay Stewart and Tim Fritzel, Lawrence developers. They testified at Tuesday's city commission meeting that they planned to build a small, community retail center that would include a hardware store, a grocery store and other stores and services.
Under the Western Development Plan, commercial zoning should be limited to 15 acres per unit. And
under Plan 95, the city's comprehensive plan, neighborhood centers should be limited to 10 acres.
The planning commission recommended the site be zoned at 15.8 acres. But a commission report noted that the acreage request was excessive and did not comply with either plan.
The request is one of three that have been submitted to the planning commission. All three requested rezoning of 20 acres to PCD-2, planned commercial development, at the intersection. The city staff recommended that each unit be limited to 10 acres.
Mayor Bob Schumm and commissioner Mike Rundle asked that all three requests be considered together.
If the city allows 15 acres of commercial zoning at each corner of the intersection, that will set aside an area greater than downtown Lawrence for retail development, Schumm said.
But commissioner Dave Penny said new retail development took more space and would not be as dense as downtown.
Commissioner Bob Walters said each request should be considered in its turn.
"I don't know about the future," he said. "But let's do this now."
"Complaints about 23rd Street can be traced back to lack of planning and foresight by earlier commissions," he said.
Rundle said the city should consider a market study to determine the amount of retail development the intersection would be able to support.
