City of Haysville, KS - Planning Commission - August 8.28.2025

The City of Haysville, Kansas Planning Commission held a meeting on August 28, 2025, primarily to consider a proposed zoning change for a property at the intersection of 63rd and South Sunnyside from single-family residential (SF) to multifamily residential (MF4). Staff presented the case, noting the property's history, current zoning, and surrounding land uses, and recommended approval with protective overlays limiting building height, exterior materials, and parking placement. Public comments expressed significant opposition due to concerns about increased traffic on a narrow one-way street, potential impacts on neighborhood character, and infrastructure limitations. Commissioners discussed the feasibility of the proposed zoning and ultimately moved to recommend approval of a two-family zoning (TF2) with protective overlays instead of the original multifamily request. The recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for final decision. Additionally, the commission reviewed proposed text amendments to zoning regulations, including enforcement provisions, but took no action on those at this meeting.
