Discussion Summary

1. Midtown Neighborhood-Wide Rezoning Initiative Update:
?	Staff reminded the Committee that the Midtown rezoning will appear before MAPC 
later that day to request the public hearing on January 27, 2005.

2. Comprehensive Plan Update:
?	Staff presented copies of the latest Wichita and Small Cities 2030 Growth Areas 
map.  
?	Committee members approved presentation of the 2030 Wichita Functional Land Use 
Guide Map, the Wichita and Small Cities 2030 Growth Areas Map and selected 
Comprehensive Plan policy edits to the full MAPC in January 2005. Staff agreed to 
send the Committee members a final version of the 2030 Wichita Functional Land 
Use.
?	Staff explained that they plan to present these proposed Comprehensive Plan 
amendments at a series of public meetings (to be held possibly at Sedgwick County 
Extension and Wichita City Hall).  A special meeting of SCAC is also proposed to 
discuss and obtain comments on these proposed amendments.  
?	Committee members recommended that the Comprehensive Plan be reviewed for 
content pertaining to public utilities and electric service.  Strategies within the 
Comprehensive Plan also need to be better related to the stated objectives. This is 
something that will be done as part of a future (2006 at the earliest) broader review 
and rewrite of the Comprehensive Plan. 

3. Northeast Area Plan Update:
?	Staff handed out copies of the 1995 Northeast Area Plan and advised the Advance 
Plans Committee members of the new initiative by the City to update and revise the 
plan. In January, Morris Dunlap will appoint a MAPC representative to sit on the 
Plan Update Steering Committee.

The Advance Plans Committee adjourned at 8:45 a.m.
