Staff recommended approval with conditions that narrowly define permitted equipment, limit the outdoor area to 3,000 square feet (about 13.7% of the building area as proposed), require paving and visual screening, and prohibit large construction or farm machinery.

Scott Knaebel, city planning staff, explained the supplementary use regulations for equipment rental and sales and said the area must be behind the building and screened from residential zoning. \"The area of the equipment rental and sales is limited [to] 20% of the enclosed portion of the business. The area they're proposing is 13.7%, which is permitted,\" Knaebel said. He added the zoning text permits only smaller equipment and staff recommended further restrictions in the approval language; he told the commission the project as presented includes measures to place the outdoor storage area along Rock Road to reduce impacts on nearby residences.

Applicant representatives said the rental and sales area would be focused on small items such as zero-turn mowers and utility trailers. Jay Cook (agent) and a representative identified as Boeth said Tractor Supply typically operates with a single rentable trailer per store; Boeth said: \"each tractor supply store is only given 1 trailer for rent.\" Staff and the applicant said heavy construction equipment and large farm tractors would be explicitly barred under the recommended conditions.

Neighbors reiterated earlier concerns about traffic, drainage, and ecological impacts. Public commenter Pareen Patrick singled out pedestrian traffic and existing flooding near the neighborhood entrance, and asked that the commission ensure any development addresses those stormwater and safety issues. Staff and the applicant responded that drainage and environmental requirements would be addressed in the engineering and KDHE permitting process and through site-plan review with city engineering.

A motion to recommend approval of the special-use request was made by Commissioner Wells, but the commission recessed for a scheduled Board of Zoning Appeals meeting before it completed a final vote on the special-use item. Planning staff had described recommended conditions that the commission could adopt or modify if it returned to take formal action: (1) the special use is allowed only if the property is zoned B3; (2) equipment rental and sales must be incidental to and in conjunction with a home-improvement center; (3) rental/sales area limited to the 3,000-square-foot area shown on the submitted site plan; (4) permitted equipment limited to small engines and units under 30 horsepower; (5) outdoor area must be paved and visually screened from residential uses; and (6) site-plan review by the planning commission with anticipated traffic mitigation requirements.

Because the commission recessed before concluding the motion, no final vote on the special use was recorded in the Derby proceeding on May 1. If and when the commission votes to forward a recommendation, any approval will be narrowly tailored to the conditions described in staff's report and the site-plan exhibit submitted by the applicant.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Derby - Planning Commission Meeting - May 01, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","City planning staff presented a special-use request on May 1 to allow a 3,000-square-foot outdoor equipment rental and sales area at a proposed Tractor Supply; staff recommended approval with limits on equipment type, screening and paving requirements, but the commission recessed before taking a final vote.","taxTitle","Derby, Sedgwick County, Kansas","taxId",56179,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6573557,"Derby planning commission recommends rezoning for Tractor Supply at Meadowlark and Rock, 6-3",4012,1792000,5804000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3176031-cb886dc35a1b55f2f19f9245a7a99710&start=1792&end=5804","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3176031-cb886dc35a1b55f2f19f9245a7a99710/thumbnail_1792000.jpg","/articles/6573557/Derby/Sedgwick-County/Kansas/Derby-planning-commission-recommends-rezoning-for-Tractor-Supply-at-Meadowlark-and-Rock-6-3","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6573557-8c92d671cf6c8dec48edb62466d5634b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771147990&Signature=Yn-PeYNnLeiF4q8E2e6Uuek-6Kj4IzJJd-HzdCCMfCz-lYpf55wxSj4W6i0waOoTNHadvEgG4Z6I3NR7OjCrkYTezzHLnpreDsSYGSqhuZDmev2oWE9HsKNAAOhMyYLf9sNWeJGmlikQxAcFWgzgUMSdSS3Z2AsgufuMc32KjoOKU2NI312VWVEZuG04l2v0IX0CMjnYHi4MMS7ltGXnGQAoNff1zod1tEGYEvJkHVFwiZeUdhCCQJwYmM2sFfsVEA-QIbMDHRLCJ3tIZ~8XRMvEiifJPgy1HVy3-97uTc1XoiP50B4gqaBbM6Hxy1O9kKDlnHRaA7EGLNJv6EhLgg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Derby Planning Commission on May 1 forwarded a recommendation to the City Council to change the zoning classification of Lots 1 and 2, Block F of the Oaks edition, from B1 Office Business and B2 Neighborhood Business to B3 General Business, in a 6-3 roll call vote. The proposal would allow a Tractor Supply home-improvement center and triggered public hearings on traffic, environmental impacts and neighborhood compatibility.

City planning staff described the site as a 4.26-acre vacant parcel at Meadowlark and Rock Road and said the request would align the parcel with the prevailing B3 zoning depth at nearby Rock Road intersections. Scott Knaebel, city planning staff, noted the corridor's established commercial pattern and told commissioners that the lots have remained undeveloped for more than 25 years. Knaebel said that the comprehensive plan designates the site for commercial development and that staff judged the requested zoning consistent with the plan.

Neighborhood speakers strongly opposed the rezoning at Derby's hearing. Broadmoor Hills homeowner Janet McElroy urged denial, citing environmental and wildlife concerns and listing potential impacts she said a B3 development would bring: increased heavy traffic, stormwater runoff risks to Spring Creek, and loss of wooded habitat. McElroy told commissioners: \"We are here tonight urging you to deny the B3 zoning to protect our ecosystems, require a full environmental impact study ... and engage residents with this information.\" Robert Nelson, president of the Broadmoor Hills homeowners association, said the HOA and other landowners within the required notice area had not all received mailed notice and asked for time to confirm proper notification.

Applicant representatives defended the site choice and said they had performed market research supporting this location. Jay Cook, agent for the applicant, said Tractor Supply selected the site based on customer rooftops and access to the established commercial corridor. Trey Hart, developer representative, said the team had worked with city staff on a site plan and a building design to \"create a site plan and a building design that is consistent with the City Of Derby standards.\" Lindsay Jones, Tractor Supply district manager, described the company's local hiring and community-oriented approach.

Knaebel and the applicant referenced traffic data in public remarks: staff pointed to a 2021 count of roughly 11,233 average daily vehicles on Meadowlark; the applicant said a typical Tractor Supply location yields about 225' 275 customer trips per weekday and up to 400 on peak weekends, and that typical deliveries would amount to about four to five semi-truck loads per week. Commissioners said corridor-wide traffic studies and turn-lane needs should be part of subsequent engineering review; Knaebel noted a larger Rock Road corridor safety study is planned through the Wichita-area MPO.

Commission debate split largely on neighborhood-impact concerns. Commissioner Quigley, who said she has a real-estate background, questioned whether a B3 district abutting low-density residential was appropriate and raised appraiser concerns. Supporters of the rezoning emphasized the long vacancy of the lots, the corridor's preponderance of B3 zoning, and the comprehensive plan's commercial designation for the site.

Roll-call votes were recorded as follows: Commissioner Heflin ' yes; Commissioner Wurbon ' yes; Commissioner Quigley ' no; Commissioner Voth ' yes; Commissioner Hessletine ' no; Commissioner Adams ' yes; Commissioner Wells ' yes; Commissioner Petrie ' no; Commissioner Remberger ' yes. The motion passed 6-3 and will be forwarded to the City Council for final action.

Opponents asked for additional environmental review, state and federal agency input and further neighborhood notification; staff and the applicant said drainage and environmental permits will be addressed in engineering review and through KDHE and city engineering review if the project proceeds.","The Derby Planning Commission on May 1 voted 6-3 to recommend that the City Council rezone two lots at Meadowlark and Rock Road from B1/B2 to B3 to allow a Tractor Supply home-improvement center.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6573563,"Derby planning commission recommends accessory apartment for Greenwich Road property",1506,266000,1772000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3176031-cb886dc35a1b55f2f19f9245a7a99710&start=266&end=1772","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3176031-cb886dc35a1b55f2f19f9245a7a99710/thumbnail_266000.jpg","/articles/6573563/Derby/Sedgwick-County/Kansas/Derby-planning-commission-recommends-accessory-apartment-for-Greenwich-Road-property","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6573563-096920bb9167e0aca405b50d52fe1997/orig.mp4?Expires=1771147990&Signature=EyqklNG~BC9S5Bpb5wXD~5g079b9hck6lXnyO6mWFPLTBiIZVqNKPDKIcsPl~SsWVKIPPZ~R9x-tA0D1pVVbQF3BGBIFP3niv2nFvbwWwGNVbuSea2OBi2VKsVqITeL33i5Su6AuNq5JarlrolBmEn1djnA~oNbm-jFplKUCTXWF5QYGXZ~k05ksEYPA6PMi8dbEhJMUndU7PrU8Q8FStU8Esdq8onDPFMGaiFYEf5tsTR4G133XGSLuR0cG6UFUbHVxsABXEWfSyLzPNW885ZCYTe6gqM12pztDaWZSnevzXzX7Xzbye~uGWk06ZYqgxk3A-Xipmus8WttzwQwQTQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Derby Planning Commission on May 1 voted 9-0 to recommend approval of a county conditional-use request to allow an accessory apartment on a 39-acre unplatted property on the west side of Greenwich Road, south of 70 Ninth Street.

City staff and Metropolitan Area Planning Department (MAPD) staff told the commission the property is developed with a 5,100-square-foot barndominium and that the applicant proposes a secondary dwelling unit with a footprint of about 5,000 square feet. MAPD recommended approval subject to conditions in its staff report; planning staff emphasized ownership and utility-service limits that must remain tied to the principal dwelling.

The vote follows a staff presentation by Everett Haynes, assistant city planner, who described the site and the application. Haynes said the property is outside Derby city limits but inside the city's zoning area of influence and noted the property's size and existing structures: \"This is a 39 acre unplatted property ... developed with a 5,100 square foot barndominium.\" MAPD planner Momita Kundu summarized the unified zoning code requirements for accessory apartments, including limits on number, appearance, ownership and utility service: \"the maximum of 1 accessory apartment may be allowed on the same lot as [a] single family dwelling unit ... The accessory apartment shall remain accessory to and under the same ownership as the principal single family dwelling unit.\"

Commissioners reviewed the standard 10 findings of fact used for county conditional-use requests. Staff and MAPD said utilities would be provided by rural water and a shared wastewater lagoon, and that the property's designation in the community plan supports residential infill in the long-term growth area. Haynes and Kundu both noted that if the property is later annexed into Derby, the city's accessory-dwelling rules (including a typical 75% size limit relative to the principal dwelling) would apply and could render the accessory building a nonconforming structure unless modified through other processes.

During deliberations commissioners discussed the required compatibility of the accessory unit with the principal structure. Several commissioners said they did not believe the new principal dwelling needed to mimic the existing barndominium's barn-like appearance. The commission waived the staff-recommended appearance condition that would have required matching facades; planning staff said the waiver will be forwarded to the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission (MAPC) for consideration. Other conditions recommended by staff remain in place: the accessory apartment must remain under common ownership with the primary dwelling and water and sewer services must not be provided separately.

With the waiver noted, Commissioner Voth made a motion to adopt the findings and recommend approval subject to staff conditions; the motion was seconded and passed 9-0. The item is scheduled for the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission public hearing on May 8.

The commission recorded no public opposition at Derby's hearing; MAPD told commissioners it had received one neighbor inquiry but no formal opposition transmitted to Derby staff.","The Derby Planning Commission on May 1 voted 9-0 to recommend approval of a county conditional-use request to allow an accessory apartment on a 39-acre property west of Greenwich Road.","actionData","errors"]
