I received a Notice of Public Hearing in the mail. What does it mean?

Kansas Statute requires that surrounding property owners within 1,000 feet be directly notified whenever a rezoning, variance, or conditional use is requested. In addition, Jefferson County also mails out a notice when a plat is to be reviewed. This notice provides the time, date, and place where the public hearing is being held; the requested change; and where the property is located. You are welcome to attend the public hearing to voice your support or concerns regarding the requested change or to just ask questions about the proposal. You may also call the Planning and Zoning Office at (785) 403-0000 ext. 3 for more information.
