The Hays Area Planning Commission will meet Monday for more discussion of a rezoning request from “A-L” Agriculture to “R-M” Residential Multi-Family District near E. 33rd St. and Sherman Ave.
The property was formerly the Ambassador Hotel that was demolished in 2017.
According to minutes from the commission's May meeting, Curtis Deines, Hays PIE superintendent, presented the preliminary and final plat of the proposed Abel Addition located on the west side of Vine Street at 37th Street.
The preliminary plat consists of four lots with 37th Street connecting Vine Street to Skyline Drive.
Deines told the commission the city of Hays and adjacent property owners have worked together on a plat that incorporates the North Vine Street Corridor project and increases potential for redevelopment of the existing sites.
He noted that Lot 1, Block 1, is a remnant tract purchased by the city during the acquisition process of the North Vine project.
The Planning Commission will consider setting a July 20 public hearing for the rezoning request.
The complete June 15 agenda is available here. The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. in Hays City Hall, 1507 Main.
