Discussion Summary 

Future Land Use Guide Map Review: The Committee proceeded to review three sector 
maps prepared by staff covering the areas bounded by 47th Street on the south, Meridian 
and Arkansas on the east, 53rd Street on the north and Maize Road on the west.  The 
Committee offered the following comments regarding these sector maps.

?	The area west of the intersection of MacArthur and Maize Road should be 
designated as a mix of local commercial, employment and institutional.
?	The 2010 and 2030 Wichita Urban Service Area lines should be based upon 
logical development of parcels and tracts, rather than an arbitrary conceptual line.
?	The green wedges are not appropriate and should be deleted from the map since 
they can only be initiated by the affected cities based upon their own locational 
criteria and financial resources.
?	The Mid-Continent Airport Authority lands and all associated developments 
thereon should have a new designation "Airport Authority", rather than just 
institutional or transportation. Need to look at Boeing and McConnell again to 
clarify land area owned by the Federal Government and also 
designate/flag/footnote the ACUZ noise constraints there.
?	Richitie's aggregate development along the east side of Ridge Road should be 
designated long term as urban residential, excepting for the office complex 
located immediately east of Ridge Road.
?	The Maize airport strip needs to be designated as transportation.
?	Areas immediately west of West Street between 21st Street and 37th Street should 
be designated long term for urban residential, rather than employment center, due 
to the number sand pit lakes that have been created there.

Meeting adjourned at 8:30 am.  Next meeting set for Thursday, November 6th  at 7:30 am, 
Planning Director's Conference Room, 10th Floor City Hall.
