Ordinance Amendment to Rezone Property from Zack Carlton, Planning Manager
R1c to R1a, Single Family Residential, 19640 and
Reviewed by
19660 Proctor Road
Cal Portner, City Administrator
Action Requested
Adopt, by motion, an ordinance to rezone certain property from R1-c to R1-a for the following reasons:
1.The rezoning is consistent with the City of Elk River Land Use Plan adopted as part of the City
of Elk River Comprehensive Plan.
2.The subject area is outside of the Urban Service District which does not support R1-c
requirements.
Background/Discussion
Staff was contacted by a property owner in the subject area regarding the size of an accessory structure
they could build on their property. When researching the answer, staff identified an error on the zoning
map. The subject properties are currently shown as R1-c but are 2 ½ acres or larger in size and are
outside the Urban Service District (USD). These criteria reflect those of the R1-a zoning district.
Upon reviewing the archived zoning maps, somewhere between 1989 and 1996, the subject property was
changed from R1-a to R1-c. It is unclear why this was done.
Applicable Regulation
In reviewing a proposed amendment, consideration shall be given to existing conditions within the area directly and indirectly
affected by the proposal, the conservation of property values, the use to which the property affected is being devoted at the time,
and relevant provisions, if any, in the land use plan.
The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to establish a framework and expectations as to the future use
of land. The plan guides the properties for residential uses and is outside the (USD).
The surrounding properties within a half mile of the subject properties are guided per the Comp Plan for
residential uses and are zoned residential. Some of these properties are in the USD and some are not.
In the review of the standards for a Zone Change as outlined, it appears that the request is consistent
with all of these standards.
Staff recommends the properties be rezoned from R1-c to R1-a to bring them into alignment with the
Comprehensive Plan.
