Request by City of Elk River for
Rezoning, Public Hearing
Case No. ZC 98-4
Issue
The City of Elk River is requesting to rezone approximately 45 acres from
Rlc (Single Family Residential) to BP (Business Park).
Summa~
The Planning Commission reviewed this request at their February 24
meeting along with three other areas considered for rezoning and land use
plan amendments. After reviewing the request, the Planning Commission
postponed action on Area #3 until the April 28 Planning Commission meeting
to allow time for further review of the rezoning and how it would fit in with
the areas overall plan.
One of the primary concerns expressed by the Planning Commission as well
as affected residents related to the traffic issues that would be generated
from the industrial area. Due to topographical constraints, it is unlikely any
access would be achieved to the site off of the new County Road 13 alignment
or off County Road 12. Therefore all of the access would most likely occur off
of the current County Road 13 alignment. Staff will review this area further
to evaluate the concerns expressed by the Planning Commission and
residents and bring it back to the Planning Commission on April 28. If the
Planning Commission takes action at that meeting the applications would be
forwarded to the City Council at their regular meeting of May 18, 1998.
Recommendation
It is recommended the City Council postpone action on Case No. ZC 98-4
until the May 18, 1998, City Council meeting.
