The Pas Mayor and council voted to approve a rezoning application for the Guy Hall at Wednesday night’s council meeting. An individual in the community has rented the guy hall from the owners of the Catholic Church and the application made was to change the zoning to commercial central to accommodate a retail space in the building.

A public hearing was held for this application last month to let residents voice their concern or opposition but the concern from residents of the pas was minimal. The entrance and exit of the parking lot was said to be dangerous because it is a high traffic area.

The rezoning was amended so that if a traffic study needs to be conducted the applicant would be required to conduct a traffic study and they would be responsible for the studies costs.
