Naming convention by category
res_sflot-size-encoded — SF-5 = 5,000 sf min lot; SF-10 = 10,000 sf min lot; SF-20 = 20,000 sf min lot
res_mfdensity-encoded — MF-18 = 18 du/ac; MF-29 = 29 du/ac; B = 75 du/ac (labeled B not MF-75 in code)

Joint city-county code administered by Wichita-Sedgwick County Metropolitan Area Planning Commission (MAPC). Applies within the city of Wichita and unincorporated Sedgwick County. District codes are NOT the same as the v1_legacy stub (which had RS-1/RS-2/RS-3 — those are fabricated and do not appear in the UZC). Actual residential districts are RR, SF-20, SF-10, SF-5, TF-3, MF-18, MF-29, B, MH.

Worth knowing
  • Template-bleed confirmed in v1_legacy stub: districts were fabricated as RS-1/RS-2/RS-3 (do not exist in UZC); actual single-family districts are RR/SF-20/SF-10/SF-5. All dimensional values (lot_coverage=0.5, far=0.5, setback_side=25) in v1 were synthetic fills.
  • UZC does not use FAR as a standard dimensional metric — all districts show null FAR. Bulk controlled by setbacks, lot area minimums, and height.
  • The '0/5 ft' interior-side setback notation (commercial/office/industrial districts) means 0 ft where abutting a compatible use under a shared-wall provision, 5 ft otherwise — per footnote 1 of the Zoning Chart; see §IV for full detail.

State preemptions

Qualifying condition
City of Wichita is a first-class city in Kansas (population 397,532 per 2020 Census > 2,000 threshold for first-class designation). K.S.A. 12-758(h) applies to all Kansas cities regardless of population. Trigger: city.governance_type = city_first_class AND parcel.base_zone_category = res_sf. Both conditions met for SF-5, SF-10, SF-20 districts.
Source
U.S. Census Bureau 2020 Census GEOID 2079000; K.S.A. 14-101 (first-class city classification)
Effect
Manufactured homes meeting HUD Code and generally applicable compatibility standards may not be excluded from SF residential districts solely on basis of manufactured-housing status.

Qualifying condition
City of Wichita (GEOID 2079000) participates in NFIP. Arkansas River SFHA panels cover portions of Wichita. Trigger: city.is_in_nfip = true. Confirmed by FEMA community status — Wichita is an NFIP participant and the Kansas overlays.json notes note confirms Arkansas River corridor SFHA.

Source
Kansas overlays.json overlay_id KS_12_769_MILITARY_INFLUENCE_ZONES; UZC §III-C.5 A-O district designation confirmed by Zoning Chart PDF
Effect
Cities must notify McConnell installation commander of proposed zoning amendments affecting AICUZ zones; must consider AICUZ compatibility guidance. State K.S.A. 12-769 is the procedural hook for the DoD/FAA AICUZ standards.
Qualifying condition
Wichita has multiple public-use airports: Eisenhower National Airport (KICT), Jabara Airport, Beech Factory Airport, Cessna Airport — all within or adjacent to city.

Effect
State-funded/permitted/licensed projects and projects within 500 ft of Register of Historic Kansas Places or NRHP properties require Kansas Historical Society (SHPO) review under K.S.A. 75-2724. Federal undertakings trigger Section 106 NHPA consultation with KHS as state SHPO.
Qualifying condition
Wichita is a first-class city in Kansas (population 397,532 per 2020 Census). Trigger: city.governance_type = city_first_class. All Kansas cities subject to K.S.A. 12-741 procedural framework. Wichita UZC adopted via K.S.A. 12-741 enabling authority (confirmed by Ord. 50-541 WHEREAS clause).
Source
Ordinance No. 50-541 WHEREAS clause citing K.S.A. 12-741 et seq.; U.S. Census 2020 GEOID 2079000
Effect

Quirks & notes

  • Template-bleed confirmed in v1_legacy stub: districts were fabricated as RS-1/RS-2/RS-3 (do not exist in UZC); actual single-family districts are RR/SF-20/SF-10/SF-5. All dimensional values (lot_coverage=0.5, far=0.5, setback_side=25) in v1 were synthetic fills.
  • UZC does not use FAR as a standard dimensional metric — all districts show null FAR. Bulk controlled by setbacks, lot area minimums, and height.
  • The '0/5 ft' interior-side setback notation (commercial/office/industrial districts) means 0 ft where abutting a compatible use under a shared-wall provision, 5 ft otherwise — per footnote 1 of the Zoning Chart; see §IV for full detail.
  • The '6/0 ft' interior-side setback notation (SF-5, TF-3) means 6 ft standard; 0 ft for Lots of Record ≤40 ft wide existing at time of Wichita Ordinance No. 10-107 adoption (Oct 1, 1928) per §III-B.4 — confirmed via Google snippet.
  • Height expressed as 'X + 1 ft increase per 1 ft additional setback' for GO (60 ft base), LC/GC (80 ft), LI/GI (80 ft), and B (55 ft) districts — scalar v field captures base height only.
  • District code 'B' (Multi-Family 75 du/ac) breaks the MF-nn naming pattern used for lower density residential districts — this is the actual code designation in the UZC.
  • The UZC is a joint City of Wichita / Sedgwick County code administered by MAPC. City Code Sec. 28.04.010 adopts the UZC by reference (Ordinance No. 48-451). The Municode library entry is hosted under 'wichita-sedgwick_county_unified' not under either city or county separately.
  • Parking standards at §IV-A.4 (Use Regulations Schedule) not extracted in this pass — parking KPI left as not_captured across all districts. Requires dedicated §IV-A pass.
  • Lot coverage standards not explicitly tabulated in Zoning Chart — the UZC controls bulk primarily through setbacks and height. Lot coverage provisions may exist in §IV Site Development Standards but were not retrieved in this pass.
  • McConnell AFB AICUZ airport overlay sub-zones (A-O I, A-O II N, A-O II S, A-O III N, A-O III S) are mapped on a separate Supplement Map (wichita.gov/DocumentCenter/View/9753); the PDF is a map image only with minimal text extraction possible.

Formulas

Definitions

height
Vertical distance from grade to highest point of structure. Two-story cap in some SF districts per §III-B. See Zoning Chart footnote 1 for conditional height maximums.
lot_coverage
Not separately tabulated in Zoning Chart; FAR and setbacks effectively govern coverage. See §IV (Site Development Standards) for lot coverage provisions.
far
Not a standard dimensional metric in the UZC — the code uses lot area minimums, setbacks, and height to control bulk, not FAR ratios.
du_ac
Density control varies: MF districts use named du/ac caps encoded in the district designation (MF-18, MF-29, B=75 du/ac). SF/TF districts control density via minimum lot area per unit.
setback_front
Minimum distance from front property line to nearest building face; see Zoning Chart columns. Street-side setback applies to corner lots.
setback_side
Interior-side setback applies between interior lot lines. 0/5 ft notation: 0 ft if abutting another commercial/industrial use under shared-wall provision, 5 ft otherwise. 6/0 ft notation for residential: 6 ft standard, 0 ft for infill lots of record per §III-B.
setback_rear
Minimum distance from rear property line to building face; see Zoning Chart columns.
parking
Off-street parking governed by §IV-A.4 Use Regulations Schedule. Not captured in this profile — requires separate extraction from Sec. IV-A.

confidence tags full formpassed87 confirmed fields carry §-citations (e.g. c§III-B.1 through c§III-B.21, c§III-C.1 through c§III-C.6, c§IV). All confirmed KPI values carry district-section citations. No bare 'confirmed' without citation.
overlays have parameters trigger confidencepassed9 overlays documented: H-O, A-O, AHZ, FP, OT-O, P-O, D-O, CP-O, AFBP-O. Each has non-empty params, geographic_trigger (or not_found with search_performed for AH overlay), status, and §-citation. AH overlay explicitly documented as not_found with search evidence.

Kansas is not in the Gate 5 mandatory list (CA/TX/FL/OR/WA/CO/MN/MT/UT/AZ/NJ/CT) but preemption entries are provided and city-specific.
