To: Planning Commission
From: John Hinzman, Community Development Director
Date: January 27, 2020
Item: Public Hearing: Amend City Code Chapter 155 - C-2 Zoning District
Planning Commission Action Requested
Hold a public hearing to consider the attached amendment to Hastings City Code Chapter 155
- Zoning Code. The amendment seeks to accomplish the following:
1) Eliminate ambiguities within the existing C-2 Zoning District by adding further
definition to allowable uses.
• Definitions of “Camping Areas” and “Lodging Facilities” are added
• Terminology of uses are amended to match more commonly used terms
within the law (i.e. food and beverage establishments, lodging facilities).
• Require “sales” be a component of any commercial establishments requiring
large sites for off street parking or outdoor display.
2) Remove uses that are not presently utilized within the C-2 District and are inconsistent
with the Vermillion Street Corridor Study.
• Elimination of manufactured home sales and building materials sales within
the district.
3) Clarify application of Site Plan Review Requirements for site modifications.
Vermillion Street Corridor Study
The City completed the Vermillion Street Corridor Study in April, 2018. The Study creates a
plan for the economic redevelopment and revitalization of Vermillion Street. An overall
theme of the study was to promote investment in underutilized sites consistent with a
vibrant mixed-use corridor where streetscaping and landscaping, bicycle and pedestrian
amenities, and complementary architecture entice people to explore all the City has to
offer.
Planning Commission Memorandum
The corridor was subdivided into five different corridor districts to better represent periods
of development and relationships to the City. Opportunity Sites were also identified on
areas with the potential to serve as a catalyst for future investment along the corridor.
Areas Zoned C-2 fall within the “Vermillion River” and “Southtown” Corridor Districts. The
Corridor Study identifies the following uses for the districts:
Vermillion River District - Appropriate uses in the Vermillion River District are multi-
family residential, retail, commercial, restaurants, entertainment, and industrial.
Southtown District - Appropriate uses for the Southtown District include retail,
service, dining, single-family-attached and multi-family residential. Supporting land
uses are hotel, entertainment, single-family attached residential, and public uses
C-2 Zoning District
The C-2 District consists of 13 parcels located in various areas of Vermillion Street between
22nd Street and 36th Street. Uses allowed within the district are broad. This is the only
district in which automobile sales may occur (with a special use permit) and many of the
establishments within the district sell automobiles. The language of the C-2 Zoning District
is essentially unchanged since original adoption in 1970.
