PLANNING 11-04-02
The Board considered approval of CUP-08-06-02, a permanent Conditional Use Permit for placement of a voltage regulator. The property is generally located at the southwest quadrant of E 1800 Road and N 200 Road. Submitted by Kansas City Power and Light Company for Robert L. Madl, property owner of record. Brian Pedrotti, staff member of the Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Department, presented the item. This item comes to the Board with a unanimous recommendation for approval based upon the following Findings of Fact:
Zoning and uses of property nearby. The subject property is located generally at the southwest corner of E 1800 Road and N 200 Road. The site is agriculturally zoned and undeveloped. Surrounding property is agriculturally zoned and is undeveloped, agricultural property with scattered residences.
Character of the area. The site is approximately 1 acre in size and is located on a portion of approximately 67 acres owned by Mr. Robert Madl. The area is largely agricultural and undeveloped in nature. It contains scattered residences.
Suitability of subject property for the uses to which it has been restricted.The subject site is suited for the uses to which it has been restricted.
Length of time subject property has remained vacant as zoned. The subject area has been zoned "A" (Agricultural) District since the adoption of the zoning regulations in the unincorporated portions of Douglas County in 1966.
Extent to which removal of restrictions will detrimentally affect nearby property. The restrictions on this site are not being removed. A conditional use is being permitted through this request. The addition of this use to this site is not anticipated to detrimentally affect nearby property.
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. Denial of the request is not expected to provide any gain to the public health, safety and welfare.
Conformance with The Comprehensive Plan. The Conditional Use Permit for the proposed facility is not in conflict with Horizon 2020.
