Commissioners approve conditional use permit for duplex short‑term rental at Hillside Road
Summary
The board adopted Resolution 25‑5 and granted Conditional Use Permit CUP25‑01 to allow a duplex to replace two houses and operate as a short‑term rental; the applicant was absent and staff and the planning commission recommended approval.
Harvey County commissioners on Jan. 28 approved Conditional Use Permit CUP25‑01 (Resolution 25‑5) to allow a duplex to replace two existing houses at 05:33 South Hillside Road and to be used as a short‑term rental.
What the application proposed: Planning and Zoning staff reported the applicant, Stuart Kane, planned to replace two houses on the property with a duplex previously moved to the site. The applicant originally intended to house temporary workers but the plan changed; staff said the current use proposal is for short‑term rental (Airbnb‑style) lodging that meets wastewater and water requirements. Planning and Zoning found the proposal met the criteria for a CUP and the Planning Commission recommended approval.
Board action: The board adopted Resolution 25‑5 authorizing the CUP and approved the permit after a motion and second. The applicant was not present; staff confirmed required fire‑safety measures (extinguishers) and utilities conformance.
Why it matters: The CUP changes the allowable use of the property consistent with county zoning procedures and clarifies that the duplex can be used as short‑term rental when conditions are met.
Administrative steps: Planning and Zoning will issue the permit and notify the applicant of conditions required under the resolution.
