DIRECTORS REPORT –PLANNING DEPARTMENT To:Hutchinson Planning Commission From:Dan Jochum, AICP 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.
