  • Regional Context
    August 2007 REGIONAL CONTEXT Regional Transportation System Defining Regional Context The purpose of this task was to identify and summarize community specific and regional needs within and adjacent to the influence area. The recent update to the Wichita area’s Long Range Transportation Plan was a starting point with its identification of development trends and potential future transportation projects as well as its information on commuting patterns and trends, freight flows and use of all modes of transportation. The needs may include access to recreation/natural areas, development potential, and travel efficiency. System continuity at both a regional and local level was reviewed, including limited opportunities for east-west travel crossing the Wichita Valley Center Floodway commonly referred to as the “Big Ditch”. The system needs will take into account the Kansas Department of Transportation’s (KDOT) existing and proposed roadway system, including the Northwest Bypass, potential transportation improvements to be defined through the on-going South Area Transportation Study as well as any improvements completed or proposed by City or County offices. Access to regionally significant land uses in the immediate vicinity were considered including Towne West Mall, Mid-Continent Airport, Dugan Business area and several aviation manufacturers. The MPO planning area, Sedgwick County, and the Wichita Metropolitan Statistical Area, each of which has a unique boundary, are referenced in the following sections of this report. WAMPO LRTP Goals and Objectives The 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) is guided by a set of goals, objectives and strategies that were recommended by the LRTP Advisory Committee and approved by the Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WAMPO).

  • City of Newton & North Newton, Kansas
    CITY OF NEWTON & NORTH NEWTON, KANSAS FUTURE LAND USE CHAPTER FIVE FUTURE LAND USE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS The Comprehensive Plan has established two key objectives as the highest ranked priorities during the goal setting process: • Planned land use; and • Coordination of land use planning between the cities and the county. To achieve proper land use planning in the context of city-county coordination, the cities of Newton and North Newton must continue planning on the basis of watersheds. The logical service areas outside of the corporate limits of the two cities form the logical geographic area for extending services and for annexing territory. Residential Development In establishing which pattern of development may be expected in the Newton area, the extreme higher-density residential development pattern as presented on the table below was rejected as unrealistic. The higher-density extreme would dissipate 80% of residential housing developed in a high-density of 10 units per acre. The pattern of development this dense does not predominate in that region. Instead, a low/moderate density development pattern is most reasonable, whereby 80 to 90% of residential development is single family homes. The extreme low-density scenario of development is not feasible given the development policies of the county. Such policies combined with the market costs and development expenses of residential development on public sanitary sewer dictate the low to moderate density patterns. Residential development in the Newton/North Newton area is projected to follow the pattern shown on the future land use plan map, based on the ability and willingness of the cities to extend sanitary sewer mainlines.
