A request to rezone the property site of the former Lincoln Elementary School, 1906 Ash, will be heard by the Hays Area Planning Commission on Monday.
An application has been submitted for a change from public and institutional district to residential multi-family district.
Property owner and Hays developer Michael Graham is proposing to remodel the former school into apartments, as well as build a residential multi-family housing development on the surrounding property.
Lincoln School was closed this spring as part of the Hays USD 489 bond project. Graham plans to remodel the 100-year-old school into 26 to 28 one- and two-bedroom apartments and construct seven 4-plexes on the surrounding area east of the former school.
City staff recommends setting a public hearing for July 21.
The complete June 16 agenda is available here. The meeting starts at 4 p.m. in Hays City Hall, 1507 Main.
