SUBJECT: ORDINANCE AMENDMENT SECTION 900 . 12
( 13) (c) and ( 14 ) (c) "TEMPORARY
STRUCTURES IN THE LIGHT AND MEDIUM
INDUSTRIAL ZONES BY THE CITY OF ELK
RIVER/PUBLIC HEARING
The Elk River City Council directed staff to review a possible
ordinance amendment to allow temporary structures in the light
and medium industrial zones . There is a similar mechanism in
the single family residential zones allowing a trailer house as
a temporary dwelling for 6 months while constructing a
permanent dwelling.
Staff feels temporary structures can be allowed in the light
and medium industrial zones to accommodate temporary needs
while a permanent structure is being constructed. However,
temporary structures do raise concerns such as how to define
• "temporary, " how to ensure the temporary use is removed, and
that the temporary structure meet other applicable codes,
especially those involving safety issues .
Staff is recommending temporary structures be allowed in the
industrial zones as a conditional use so the concerns mentioned
above can be addressed. An ordinance amendment reflecting this
is attached.
