Request by City of Elk River to amend the Land Use of Lot 1, Jeremy Barnhart,Planning Manager
Block 1, Hillside Crossing from OS Open Space to HB Highway REVIEWED BY
Business, Case No. LU 13-02—Public Hearing
ACTION REQUESTED
Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend approval of the Land Use amendment.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
During the last comprehensive plan update in 2004, the land use designation for the Northbound Liquor
store property was created as Open Space. Staff is unaware of why it was designated that during the last
update. The property is surrounded by the Highway Business land use and houses a retail business.
Comprehensive Plan
The Highway Business land use is the most intensive form of commercial development in Elk River.
Businesses in this category may be the largest both in terms of size and traffic generation. Market
orientation tends to be regional in nature. Development orientation tends to be toward regional
highways. Future Highway Business developments should be located within the Urban Service Boundary
and adjacent to regional highways. Examples of Highway Business uses include discount retailers,
grocery and general merchandise.
Because liquor sales are an appropriate land use for Highway Business, staff is recommending the subject
property land use be amended from Open Space to Highway Business.
