Since Planning and Zoning Commission voted to deny 7-0, should City Council choose to approve, how many votes are required?

Please be ready to provide details of the city project at Hills of Hays that is underway and how it relates to this request.

A regular majority of 4 Council members is required.

Staff will provide details during the presentation about how the Development and the City’s Hills of Hays project are related. The Developer has agreed to convey additional flows through their site as part of their project. If their project does not go forward, the City project will need to design and construct an alternative storm system to convey these additional flows around or through the Hills of Hays subdivision using City stormwater funds.
