Sedgwick County Quad Cities Joint Area Plan

The cities of Derby, Haysville, Mulvane and Wichita desire to work in partnership with Sedgwick County to develop an issue-oriented, multi-jurisdictional joint area plan to address certain land use planning issues of mutual interest and concern. Sumner County has been invited to participate in this planning process.

Sedgwick County Quad Cities Joint Area Plan- April 2012 Working Draft

Plan Boundaries: The west boundary shall be Seneca Street; the south boundary shall coincide with the Sedgwick County line; the east boundary shall generally follow the Arkansas River, except that it shall extend east of the river to coincide with the Derby city limit except in the area between Derby and Mulvane where it shall coincide with K-15; the north boundary shall generally follow 79th Street east from Seneca to Grove, then extend north to 71st Street excluding the residentially developed areas but including the South Arkansas River Greenway Park.

Minimum Outcomes of the Joint Area Plan:

  • Provide Sedgwick County with policy guidance on recreational opportunities associated with a possible future regional park to service this area of the County, and on future recreation/greenway opportunities associated with the Arkansas River corridor
  • Evaluate and refine the current ‘areas of zoning influence’ for the cities of Derby, Haysville and Mulvane
  • Evaluate and identify future urban growth areas and future municipal corporate limits for the cities of Derby, Haysville, Mulvane and Wichita as they pertain to the plan area
  • Assess and address the municipal servicing and land use impacts associated with the recently approved casino at Exit 33
  • Evaluate the land use implications of high water table and flooding issues in portions of the plan area
  • Address existing and future transportation issues in the plan area, including bike trail and public transportation opportunities, and the appropriateness of future bridges crossing the Arkansas River at 71st Street and 95th Street
  • Develop an anticipated/desired future land use concept plan for the plan area
