TABLE OF AMENDMENTS

PREFACE

This Unified Zoning Code constitutes a complete publication of the Unified Zoning Code of the City of Wichita, and the County of Sedgwick, Kansas.

Source materials used in the preparation of the Code were the Unified Zoning Code, as supplemented through April 13, 2021. As ordinances are included, the source of each amendment will be included in the history note appearing in parentheses at the end of the amended section. The absence of such a note indicates that the section is as it appeared in the Unified Zoning Code, as supplemented through April 13, 2021. By use of the comparative tables appearing in the back of this Code, the reader can locate any ordinance included as amending the Unified Zoning Code.

The Unified Zoning Code is organized by articles, which are subdivided into sections.

Numbering System

The numbering system used in this Code for internal cross references consists of two parts separated by a dash. The figure before the dash refers to the article number, and the figure after the dash refers to the letter assigned to the appropriate section. Thus, the second section of Article I is referred to as Sec. I-B, and the first section of Article VI is Sec. VI-A. New articles and new sections may be included in the same way. The next successive number, or letter for sections, shall be assigned to the new article or section.

Indexes

The indexes have been prepared with the greatest of care. Each particular item has been placed under several headings, some of which are couched in lay phraseology, others in legal terminology, and still others in language generally used by local government officials and employees. There are numerous cross references within the indexes themselves which stand as guideposts to direct the user to the particular item in which the user is interested.

Looseleaf Supplements

A special feature of this publication is the looseleaf system of binding and supplemental servicing of the publication. With this system, the publication will be kept up-to-date. Subsequent amendatory legislation will be properly edited, and the appropriate page or pages affected will be reprinted. These new pages will be distributed to holders of copies of the publication, with instructions for the manner of inserting the new pages and deleting the obsolete pages.

Keeping this publication up-to-date at all times will depend largely upon the holder of the publication. As revised sheets are received, it will then become the responsibility of the holder to have the amendments inserted according to the attached instructions. It is strongly recommended by the publisher that all such amendments be inserted immediately upon receipt to avoid misplacing them and, in addition, that all deleted pages be saved and filed for historical reference purposes.

Acknowledgments

This publication was under the direct supervision of Brian Taylor, Supervising Editor. Credit is gratefully given to the other members of the publisher's staff for their sincere interest and able assistance throughout the project.

The publisher is most grateful to Mr. Scott Wadle, Planning Director, and the other members of the Director's staff, for their cooperation and assistance during the progress of the work on this publication. It is hoped that their efforts and those of the publisher have resulted in a Unified Zoning Code which will make the active zoning code of the city and county readily accessible to all citizens and which will be a valuable tool in the day-to-day administration of the government's affairs.
