The city council on Monday night quickly dispatched the business of approving a change of zoning for three adjacent parcels of land along the Old Hill City Rd. near the current Holiday Inn Express in Hill City. Council members had no questions for Shane Schriner who plans to build a hotel on the property. The unanimous vote to change the zoning from C-1 to C-3 came after the proposal was discussed at a previous Hill City Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z).
“A motion was made and seconded at the P&Z meeting and the commission voted unanimously to change the zoning. In the past all the commercial property was Commercial Light Industrial but with the new zoning there are now four designations, C-1 through C-4,” said Brett McMacken, city administrator.
According to the municipal code, C-1 allows such things as automotive facilities, convenience and commercial centers, day care facilities, libraries, public and governmental services, churches and restaurants. C-3 allows everything in C-1 and C-2 as well as things such as hotels, amusement centers, automotive sales, building materials sales, cultural institutions, hospitals, campgrounds, publishing businesses, theaters and storage warehouses.
