Details of a rezoning request from agriculture to heavy industrial district for a portion of 5809 230th Ave. will be heard by the Hays Area Planning Commission tonight.

The 32-acre tract of land is owned by Hess Land and is located just outside the city's future land use map area.

According to information from Hays P.I.E. Superintendent Curtis Deines, landowner Dan Hess plans to develop the area for heavy industrial uses. The property is undeveloped and has been used for agriculture production.&nbsp;

The area north of Interstate 70 along 230th Avenue includes several adjacent heavy industries including Midwest Energy Goodman Energy Center, Ellis County Concrete batch plant, and Hess Services.&nbsp;

The planning commission will consider setting a May 17 public hearing for the rezoning request.

The complete April 19 agenda is available here.

The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. in Hays City Hall, 1507 Main.&nbsp;
