line adjustment is to eliminate an encroachment of the garage at 6 Franklin St NW onto 16

Date:June 12,2024 for June 18, 2024 Planning Commission Meeting
Application:Conditional Use Permit to Move Structure and forSingle Family
Residence in a C-3 Zoning District at 16 Franklin St NW.
Applicant:North Star Foundation Properties, LLC
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT:
GENERAL INFORMATION
Existing Zoning: C-3(Central Commercial)
Property Location: 16 Franklin St NW
Existing Land Use: Vacant Lot
Adjacent Land Use
And Zoning: C-3 Central Commercial District and R-2 Medium Density
Residential
Comprehensive
Land Use Plan: Mixed Use
Zoning History: Lot was split in 2023. Final Plat Application on the agenda tonight
to reconfigure lot lines.
Applicable
Regulations: Section 154.063 (C) (7), Hutchinson City Code
Analysis and
Recommendation:
The Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required for moving structure and for single-family
residences within the C-3 – Central Commercial Zoning District. This lot was originally
th
developed as a single-family home in the first half of the 20 Century. The applicant intends to
move the home that currently is adjacent to Goebel Fixture Company to this lot.
It should also be noted that this area was zoned commercial back in the late 1960s. There has
been some redevelopment that has occurred in this area since then, including the Dental Office
and former Police Department to the South. Staff feels there isn’t demand for further
redevelopment of commercial propertyin this area at this time. A single-family home may be
the highest and best use for this parcel. One of the key themes of the Imagine Hutchinson
Downtown Action Plan was having strong neighborhoods and housing stock surrounding the
downtown area. Studies have shown a downtown area is only as strong as the neighborhoods
surrounding downtown. Staff recommends approval of the CUP if the Planning Commission
believes the standards for granting a Conditional Use Permit can be met.
A CUP shall be granted only if evidence is presented to establish the following:
(a) The proposed building or use at the particular location requested is necessary or
desirable to provide a service or a facility which is in the interest of the public
convenience and will contribute to the general welfare of the neighborhood or
community;
(b) The proposed building or use will not have a substantial or undue adverse effect
upon adjacent property, the character of the neighborhood, traffic conditions, utility
facilities and other matters affecting the public health, safety and general welfare;
and
(c) The proposed building or use will be designed, arranged and operated so as to
permit the development and use of neighboring property in accordance with the
applicable district regulations.
Conclusion:
1. The proposed structure is desirable and will contribute to the general welfare of the
neighborhood in the subject location as it will be consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan future land use designation.
2. The proposed building is not anticipated to have a substantial or undue adverse
effect upon adjacent property, the character of the neighborhood, traffic conditions,
utility facilities, and other matters affecting the public health, safety, and general
welfare as the use of the property will remain very similar to the existing use of the
property.
3. The proposed building will be designed, arranged, and operated so as to permit the
development and use of neighboring property in accordance with the applicable
district regulations, just as they are used today.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the approval of this request to the Planning Commission due to the fact that
the applicant’s request meets the standards for approving a conditional use permit provided
above.
If the Planning Commission recommends approval of the applicant’s request, staff suggests the
following conditions be part of the approval:
1. The standards for granting a conditional use permit would be met, subject to the
conditions stated.
2. The proposed building and site improvements shall comply with the standards of the
C-3 district and the Zoning Ordinance.
3. The Applicant must obtain all necessary permits for moving and
construction/remodeling that would be needed.
4. The conditional use permit shall remain in effect as long as the conditions required
by the permit are observed.
5. The building will require a new certificate of occupancy upon completion of the
project.
6. If the property is used as a rental property, a rental certificate is required.
