Action Requested
Adopt, by motion, an ordinance amending Sections 30-1022, 30-1023, 30-1024, 30-1025, 30-1026, 30-
1292, 30-1293, 30-1294, 30-1295, 30-1562, 30-1565, and 30-1583.
Adopt, by motion, a resolution for summary publication of Ordinance No. 18-_.
Background/Discussion
Staff proposed simplifying the city code by clarifying the uses in each district, with clarifying amendments
to the definitions, and reducing the number of conditional uses requiring a permit (CUP). The changes
will reduce the number of businesses needing Council approval prior to construction/ operation. Site plan
approval will still be required for the uses moved to the permitted use section.
Planning Commission Meeting
The Planning Commission reviewed this request during a work session on January 23, 2018, and again
during their regular meeting on February 27, 2018.
The Planning Commission Council liaison expressed concerns with the removal of commercial recreation
facilities from the I-1 district as sports associations would not be able to locate facilities in lower-cost
industrial districts. They discussed the youth baseball facility located in an I-1 zoning district that holds
clinics during the winter and provides jobs as a result of the clinics. They wanted to know where
commercial recreation facilities are allowed. Not including the I-1 district, commercial recreation facilities are
allowed in 12 zoning districts, all as a conditional use. Staff proposes allowing them in residential zoning
districts, where schools are also allowed as many as the athletic association uses are associated with a
school and grouping their facilities would allow for improved efficiencies in their use.
The Commission agreed there should be a place for youth sports facilities, but not an industrial area,
noting the hours of use and job creation does not match the purpose of the district. Additionally, they
noted these uses are typically adjacent to higher -volume retail areas with more traffic. They need to look
at areas that are more amenable to higher traffic volumes with better access and not take up industrial
space. Existing sites would be legal, non -conforming uses and may continue to operate.
The commission unanimously recommended approval of the amendment.

Action Requested
Recommend, by motion, approval of the Ordinance Amendment as proposed.
Background/Discussion
Staff is seeking to simplify the city code by clarifying the permitted uses in each district and reducing the
number of uses requiring a Conditional Use Permit (CUP).
Along with the definitions, staff looked at all of the uses/terms listed in each zoning district and noticed
many similarities in uses/terms within the same district. The first part of this request is to combine
repetitive uses/terms into one and tie it back to a definition.
The second part is to shift uses, where appropriate, from a conditional use to a permitted use. The uses
proposed to be shifted are not anticipated to negatively affect the public health, safety, and general
welfare of the residents.
The third part is to alphabetize each use in their respective sections.
The proposed changes are attached, and a key is located at the top of each page to indicate what is being
added, moved, or deleted.
The Key
The key used for all districts is noted in the header. The standard mean text is proposed
to be removed while underlines mean text is proposed to be added.
The yellow highlighted text references uses that have been relocated within a zoning district. For
instance, if something was a conditional use and was moved to a permitted use, it is highlighted yellow.
The - highlighted text references a new use and/or language being added.
The = highlighted text references uses and/or language that have been removed entirely from the
zoning district.

In the C-3 district, iagenM is also utilized. This is showing what uses are allowed in the C-4 district.
Staff is proposing removing the C-4 district entirely and rezoning the four small C-4 districts to C-3. The
magenta highlighted text is for reference only and will not show up in the ordinance.
Planning Commission Work Session - January 23, 2018
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed changes at their work session on January 23, 2018.
Staff is recommending removing the A-1 (Agricultural Conservation) and C-4 (Community Commercial)
districts in their entirety. The A-1 district only exists near the land fill (north of 22151 and between
Highway 169 and the Great Northern Trail). There are only 4 parcels that are zoned C-4. Staff will be
recommending rezoning those respectively to Commercial Reserve Transitions (CRT) and C-3 (Highway
Commercial). The Planning Commission supported this proposal.
Staff recommends striking commercial recreation facilities from I-1 district to maintain the desire of
creating jobs. The Commission expressed concerns regarding the establishment of future school related
facilities as some of them are now located in the industrial districts. The consensus of the Planning
Commission was to strive for job creation. Staff reviewed possible locations for these uses and
commercial recreation facilities related to school groups and associations will be added to the residential
zoning districts. Schools are already located in residential districts and this will encourage those uses to
locate near the school.
There was discussion regarding staffs recommendation to remove institutional uses (churches, schools,
etc.) from the Downtown District (DD). The consensus of the Planning Commission was that they
should not be allowed. Existing uses in downtown may continue as legal non -conforming uses, but
would not be permitted to expand in the future.
With direction on the various residential districts discussed at the work session, staff will continue work
on combining the various residential districts and adjust the uses as needed.

Sec. 30-1026. - DD downtown district.
(a) Noose. As downtown Elk River changes, future preservation as well as any new construction
should reinforce the general character and quality of the existing downtown. The design of new
construction should take into consideration the location of the proposed building(s) as well as
incorporate traditional design elements and techniques that are currently represented in existing
structures.
The intent of the downtown district is to preserve this distinctive character with the appearance
that there are multiple buildings that are distinctly different from one another yet will allow a
uniform mass of building with the appearance of vertical separation. These standards shall be the
framework for any new development and designs shall strive for creative traditional architectural
character, while clearly being an expression of the architecture of its own time.
(b) Permitted uses. The following uses shall be permitted uses in the downtown district, subject to the
design standards set forth in subsections (e) and (f) and the site plan review process set forth in
subsection (g) of this section:

Sec. 30-1292. - I-1 light industrial district.
(a) Purpose. The I-1 district shall serve as a transition between more industrial uses and residential
and other business uses. This district is appropriate for manufacturing, warehousing, and similar
industrial uses because of access to warehousing, thoroughfares, the full complement of urban
services such as sewer and water, and distance from residential districts. These areas are
intended to encourage the development of industrial uses which are clean, quiet, and free of
hazardous or objectionable elements such as noise, odor, dust, smoke, glare, or other pollutants.
These industries shall be compatible with each other and with surrounding land uses.
(b) Permitted uses. Permitted uses in the I-1 district are as follows:
(1) Business offices.
(2) Manufacturing, light.
(3) Research and development facilities.
(4) Warehouse spaces.

b. The proposed dwelling unit is designed for and will be used exclusively by
caretakers or security personnel responsible for the security of the property and the
principal use thereof.
c. The proposed dwelling unit will be occupied by no more than two persons, neither

the health, safety and welfare of persons who may occupy the proposed dwelling
unit, impose additional reasonable requirements or conditions on the construction

to be unique to the principal use of the property and the ownership of the property
and the principal use. Any conditional use permits granted under this section shall
therefore automatically expire if the principal use of the property changes or the
ownership of either the property or the principal use of the property changes.

business. Development within the business park district will correspond with the land use
designation. Industrial and office uses are allowed where the land use designation is light
industrial, and commercial uses are allowed where the land use designation is highway
business.
(2) It is the intent of this section that development reflect common themes using compatible
architectural design and consistency in signage, landscaping, and lighting. It is also the
intent to encourage businesses, which generate a high number of jobs per square foot
rather than predominantly warehouse type uses.

(1) Business offices.
(2) Mail order operations.
(3) Manufacturing, light.
(4) Research and development facilities.
