KANSAS CITY, Kansas (AP) — Local officials are recommending approval with multiple conditions for a request to allow a Kansas City, Kansas, business to reopen as a racetrack, electronic gaming venue and entertainment facility.

The city’s planning commission heard testimony Monday on a special use permit application request for The Woodlands.

The commission voted to send the request on for further consideration by the Unified Government Commission.  More than a dozen stipulations, including a main building of at least 85,000 square feet, were attached to the approval.

The plan by Ruffin Woodlands LLC calls for a horse racing, electronic gaming and entertainment facility on 317 acres of a 400-acre site.

The company is headed by billionaire Phil Ruffin, who owns other racetracks or casinos in Kansas and Nevada.
