The Hays Area Board of Zoning Appeals will meet Wednesday to conduct a public hearing regarding business signage.

John Kyle Doerfler has asked for a variance for an additional sign on his business building at 810 E. 11th Street. The structure is located within a Light Industrial Zoning District “I-1” where sign regulations allow signs only on the front façade of the building. Doerfler has placed a sign on the building’s east side for visibility to Vine St. and would like to keep it there.

According to Curtis Deines, Planning, Inspection and Enforcement (PIE) superintendent, similar businesses have signs on the side of the buildings that were installed under previous regulations.

Staff is recommending approving the variance as submitted.

The meeting begins at at 8:15 a.m. in Hays City Hall, 1507 Main. The complete agenda is available here.
