The Junction City – Geary County Metropolitan Planning Commission has recommended approval on an application by Jason Budinas to rezone property at 223 and 229 East Seventh Street in Junction City.

Planning and Zoning Administrator David Yearout said those are vacant lots right now that are zoned commercially for retail sales. “The owner wishes to build a warehouse. He owns a distribution facility for dry goods. It’s grocery stores in a four-county area, and he wants to put his warehouse there.”

The rezoning would go from central commercial special to light industrial district.

The recommendation will go to the City Commision for final consideration.
