The Hays Area Planning Commission will meet today at 4 p.m. in Hays City Hall, 1507 Main.

The Jan. 15 agenda includes a review and consideration of a Feb. 19, 2024 public hearing for the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction future land use map.

In November 2021, the city of Hays and Ellis County reduced the extraterritorial jurisdiction  by approximately 60%. Many areas of the existing future land use map were vaguely identified or labeled as urban reserve. With the reduction of the extraterritorial jurisdiction, staff can now be more specific in planning for land use around Hays.

Commissioners will also discuss the organization and future board structure of the Planning Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals.
