Two public hearings regarding new developments will be conducted Monday by the Hays Planning Commission.
The first is a rezoning request from public and institutional to neighborhood shopping district and residential multi-family for a tract of land at 27th and Main streets.
Astra Bank plans to build a new facility on the location. The current facility, 1100 Fort, has been sold to the city of Hays and will be remodeled into a new police station/municipal courthouse.
Other portions of the land at 27th and Main are planned for a potential shopping center and a residential multi-family of apartments or townhouses.
The second public hearing will be for the preliminary and final planned development of the new housing area, The Grove, north of HaysMed on Canterbury Drive.
Also on the June 17 agenda are potential actions on the preliminary and final plats of 27th and Main Street Addition, Depot Addition at 10th and Walnut, and the Exit 161 Addition on Commerce Parkway.
Commissioners will also consider a rezoning request from general commercial to light industrial for East 41st St., 1st Addition, Lot 2, and Block 1, Vernie’s Addition.
The agenda is available here. The meeting starts at 4 p.m. Monday in Hays City Hall, 1507 Main.
