Haysville planning panel recommends rezoning for proposed event center near S. Broadway and E. Grand
Summary
The Haysville Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of a rezoning request to allow an applicant to operate an event center on an undeveloped lot east of South Broadway Avenue and East Grand Avenue; staff recommended approval and no public comment was received.
The Haysville Planning Commission on an open public hearing recommended approval of a zone change to allow an event center on a vacant lot roughly 300 feet east of the northeast corner of South Broadway Avenue and East Grand Avenue.
Planning staff told the commission the site was platted in 1972 as part of the American RV Addition, is currently undeveloped, and has access to West Grand Avenue (a paved four-lane arterial with sidewalks) but is not connected to city water and sewer. Staff recommended approval of the change from light industrial to light commercial, saying the requested zoning “allows for a limited number of civic and commercial uses and to serve the needs of those living in nearby neighborhoods.”
Applicant Angel Lopez told the commission the proposed use would be an event center “hosting, like, weddings or, you know, reception[s] of that type.” Lopez said the building would be insulated and added, “The noise level, I would imagine, couldn’t be anything excessive. It’s gonna be pretty well insulated and all that stuff.” Lopez also said the client has not yet purchased the property and that any purchase would be contingent on approval of the rezoning.
Commission members asked staff about applicable noise rules and about past uses of the site. A commissioner noted that wholesale fireworks sales had occurred nearby and staff responded that the wholesale fireworks business is a nonconforming use under current zoning. No members of the public spoke and staff reported no written comments had been received by the commission.
After discussion the commission closed the public hearing, moved to recommend approval of the zone change, and voted in favor. The record shows a motion and second and a roll-call-style all-in-favor response; the transcript does not record individual member vote names or a numerical tally.
The commission’s recommendation was recorded in the meeting minutes; the transcript indicates the applicant intends to purchase the property only if the rezoning is granted.
