Commission approves conditional use permit for wedding venue near Halstead with noise and safety conditions
Summary
The Board adopted CUP 25-03 and Resolution 2025-9 to allow Robert and Shelly Kinney to operate a wedding venue at 9424 S. Halstead Rd. Approval included eight conditions covering KDHE water/sewer compliance, traffic control, sound containment and insurance.
The Harvey County Commission on March 25 approved a conditional use permit (CUP 25-03) allowing Robert and Shelly Kinney to operate a wedding venue at 9424 S. Halstead Road.
Planning Director Karen Rothe and applicant Robert Kinney presented the proposal and showed site materials. The Planning Commission had reviewed the application and recommended approval with eight conditions addressing permitting, KDHE drinking water and sewer compliance, traffic control to prevent parking on Halstead Road, emergency and weather plans, on-site fire extinguishers, liquor licensing where applicable, limits on amplified sound and screening to reduce noise impacts, and proof of liability insurance upon request.
The board adopted Resolution 2025-9 to authorize CUP 25-03 and approved the conditions recommended by the planning commission. The county’s action followed a staff review of zoning compatibility, road access and public-safety provisions.
Why it matters: The CUP permits a commercial event venue on property outside city limits with conditions intended to protect neighboring properties and road safety. The decision reflects planning-review standards balancing private development and community impacts.
What’s next: Applicant must obtain required building, drinking water and sewer approvals before operations commence and must comply with the eight conditions adopted with the permit.
