Discussion Summary
1.	The Advance Plans Committee approved the minutes of the July 20, 2006 
Committee meeting.

2.	Scott Knebel reviewed with the Committee, a comparison matrix of the 
implementation options contained in the K-96 Corridor Economic Development 
Plan with policies contained in the Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive 
Plan. Staff has determined that there is a high degree of consistency between these 
two Plans, excepting that the K-96 Plan is more directive/prescriptive on some 
issues than the flexible policy approach contained in the Comprehensive Plan. 
The Committee decided that it needed to:
a). Determine whether the K-96 Plan should be adopted as an element of 
the Comprehensive Plan.
b). Identify any elements/action items contained in the K-96 Plan that 
cannot be supported by the MAPC.
The Committee also recognized that their implementation approach with the K-96 
Plan will set a precedent for addressing the recently completed K-254 Plan. The 
following issues were raised in Committee discussion:
?	Tools such as transfer of development rights and agricultural easements 
are OK if implemented on a voluntary basis.
?	The Comprehensive Plan should take precedence over the K-96 Plan.
?	The purpose of the K-96 Plan is to serve as a reference. The Plan could be 
adopted as an element of the Comprehensive Plan, excepting for those 
elements that the Committee finds directive or prescriptive.
The Committee decided that they would be supportive of adopting the K-96 
Corridor Economic Development Plan as an element of the Comprehensive Plan, 
on condition that certain prescriptive implementation elements of the K-96 Plan 
be amended to be consistent with relevant flexible language contained in the 
Comprehensive Plan. Scott Knebel will prepare a Plan amendment sheet that 
contains these changes. This amendment sheet will be reviewed and discussed at 
the next Committee meeting on September 7, 2006.

3.	Meeting adjourned at 8:10 a.m.

Next meeting scheduled for September 7, 2006.
