Commission approves rezoning of 1601 Kansas to C-1 for planned storage units
Summary
The commission approved Ordinance 17-82 to rezone property at 1601 Kansas from R-1 to C-1, clearing the way for the applicant to combine adjacent lots and build storage units; planning staff reported no substantive neighbor objections.
The Goodland City Commission voted to rezone 1601 Kansas from residential (R-1) to commercial (C-1) so the applicant could combine adjacent lots and develop storage units. Planning staff explained the lot history (a house removed in 2017–2018 and subsequent cleanup) and noted adjacent lots to the south and east already carry commercial zoning.
Staff said the applicant could not attend due to a family emergency but that they own the lot directly south and intended to combine both parcels to meet size requirements and avoid a 25-foot yard setback issue that applies adjacent to residential zones. Staff reported only a few calls from neighbors who received an abutter notice but that the callers had no substantive objections after staff explained the impact.
Commissioners discussed long-term property-value concerns raised by a resident, lot-size and setback rules, and the plan to combine parcels before construction would begin. With a motion and second, the commission approved the rezoning by roll call vote.
Next step: applicant may proceed to combine lots and pursue development consistent with C-1 zoning and applicable setbacks and building regulations.
