Hays City Commissioners approved a resolution during their Tuesday night meeting redefining the Hays city limits, a requirement by state statute.

The city annexed one area this year-–22nd Street from Canterbury to Wheatland Avenue.

In other business, commissioners approved an ordinance to annex the northeast corner of the intersection of 48th Street and General Hays Road north of I-70. They also approved rezoning that location from Agricultural to C-2 Commercial. The zoning change adheres to the city’s comprehensive plan and the surrounding roads have already been constructed for heavier commercial vehicle traffic.

Mayor Henry Schwaller and Commissioner Kent Steward were absent from the meeting, which was rescheduled to Tuesday because of the Christmas holiday Thursday.
