a.

Purpose. The OW Office Warehouse District is primarily intended to accommodate office and warehousing activities for the building trades and similar businesses with operating characteristics that do not require highly visible locations or the type of vehicular access needed for retail and high-intensity office development. The OW District is generally compatible with the "Employment/Industry Center" designation of the Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan. It is primarily intended for application within the City of Wichita, although it may be appropriate for application in areas of unincorporated Sedgwick County that have been designated as "Wichita 2030 Urban Growth Area."
