Cities and counties may enact broad zoning ordinances and procedures so long as they do not violate state zoning statutes. State zoning statutes do not prohibit zoning authorities from treating applications for multi-family residential planned unit developments as zoning amendments governed by K.S.A. 12-757. Zoning authorities are not prohibited from applying the protest provisions of K.S.A. 12-757(f)(1) to multi-family residential planned unit development applications. When neighbors file a valid protest petition against a zoning amendment pursuant to K.S.A. 12-757(f), the zoning authority can only approve the amendment by a 3/4 majority vote. If a zoning authority fails to approve a protested zoning amendment by 3/4 majority vote, the protested zoning amendment is denied, and the processes for resubmission of failed zoning amendments in K.S.A. 12-757(d) are inapplicable.
