(A) Land uses allowed in the overlay district are those identified within the property’s zoning district established by the City of Hutchinson Zoning Ordinance and map. A mix of appropriate land uses is encouraged in the River Overlay District, with an emphasis on commercial uses. Uses should be those that benefit from the high traffic volume and visibility of the corridor while complimenting uses in the downtown.
(B) Community objectives include:
(1) Enhance the stability of this corridor with a complementary mix of commercial uses appropriate to a growing community;
(2) Encourage a variety of uses which will support a community atmosphere;
(3) Activate this Main Street intersection with a mix of uses which will draw visitors into downtown;
(4) Provide the variety and density of uses that encourage pedestrian activity;
(5) Entice travelers and commuters to stop and explore Hutchinson with new opportunities to learn about the city; and
(6) Provide for full life-cycle housing with diverse, higher-density, residential uses.
