The Hays Area Planning Commission will consider two rezoning requests on East 27th Street at its meeting today.
The first request is for property at 2460 E. 27th St. to be rezoned from an agricultural district to a light industrial district. Commissioners are expected to set a public hearing for Jan. 19 to consider the proposed rezoning.
The property is owned by L&A Enterprises. The owner wants the zoning change in order to expand services.
The second rezoning request is for adjacent property at 2470 E. 27th St. owned by Josh Ziegler, who wants to change the designation from general commercial district to light industrial district. A public hearing is also expected to be on Jan. 19.
Ziegler owns and operates T.S.B. Storage on the property.
The commission will also discuss pros and cons of adopting reduced side setbacks for carports. Under current rules, carports must meet accessory structure side and rear setbacks of 5 feet.
The complete Dec. 15 agenda is available here. The meeting begins at 4 p.m.in Hays City Hall, 1507 Main.
