In July, the Maizes and the McQuains filed a petition for judicial review of the City Council's action, as provided in K.S.A. 12-760. See Evans v. City of Emporia, 44 Kan.App.2d 1066, 1069, 243 P.3d 374 (2010) (statute covers city commission decision granting conditional use permit); Rodrock Enterprises, L.P. v. City of Olathe, 28 Kan.App.2d 860, 862, 21 P.3d 528 (2001) (planning commission decision). In the district court, the homeowners and the City relied on the record compiled during the municipal proceedings and offered no additional evidence.
The appellate court, like the trial court, reviews a zoning board's decision by a reasonableness standard based on the facts. Rodrock Enterprises, L.P. v. City of Olathe, 28 Kan.

There is a presumption that the planning commission acted reasonably, and this court may not substitute its judgment for that of the administrative body. Rodrock Enterprises, L.P. v. City of Olathe, 28 Kan.App.2d 860, 863, 21 P.3d 598, rev. denied 271 Kan. 1037 (2001). K.S.A. 12-747(a) authorizes a city planning commission to make a comprehensive plan for the development of a city.
