SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO AMEND
THE ELK RIVER PLAZA PUD AGREEMENT
BY JIM LAROSE/PUBLIC HEARING, CASE
NO. CU 93-21
ATTACHMENTS
Location Map, Zoning Map, Land Use Map, Site Plan, Floor Plan
of Restaurant, List of Property Owners .
PROPOSED LOCATION
508 Freeport Avenue (Elk River Plaza immediately south of
Pamida, formerly the Billiard Center) , Elk River, MN.
REQUESTED ACTION
A conditional use permit to amend Elk River Plaza PUD Agreement
allowing a pizza and pasta restaurant facility.
• ZONING/LAND USE
PUD (Planned Unit Development) /HB (Highway Business)
BACKGROUND
In 1987 , Big Wheel Rossi built a new building of approximately
16 ,000 sq ft on Lot 5, Block 1, Elk River Plaza, Second
Addition. This development was consistent with the PUD
Agreement at that time. In 1989, an amendment to the PUD
Agreement to allow recreational facilities was approved by the
City Council . Prior to this, another amendment was approved by
the City Council permitting professional and business offices .
The original PUD Agreement for Parcel F (aka Lot 5, Block 1,
Elk River Plaza Second Addition) stated permitted uses would
consist of "retail establishments" in accordance with the Cl,
C2 , and C3 zoning text. Since a restaurant is not defined as a
retail establishment, the PUD Agreement must be amended
accordingly. The specific amendment would allow Class I (sit
down) restaurants within any bay of the Big Wheel Rossi
building (Parcel F) .
USE ANALYSIS
110 Amending the PUD Agreement will allow restaurants within the
Elk River Plaza development. A restaurant would be compatible

• with the other uses such as theater complex, and other
amusement recreational uses in the area.
RESTAURANT
The proposed restaurant would occupy the vacant space
previously occupied by the billiards establishment. The
restaurant will occupy roughly 3,400 sq ft of floor area. Mr.
LaRose plans on applying for a liquor license from the City
Council to sell beer and wine along with ordered entrees .
PARKING
Based on the existing tenants and vacant future retail
establishments within the building, total parking stalls
required would be 51 stalls . There are presently 45 stalls
available. However, 6 new stalls could be added if a parking
problem begins to occur. Installing the additional 6 stalls
would meet the current City requirements for parking purposes .
Because of different peak hours of operation and 3 bays
presently being vacant, parking should not become a problem by
adding the restaurant to this multi-bay commercial building.
LANDSCAPING
• Existing landscaping was installed according to previous
landscaping standards . Therefore, the current standard of 1
tree for every 40 feet of perimeter distance is not satisfied.
According to the current landscaping standards, 35 trees would
be required on this site if it was developed today. The
Planning Commission may wish to include a condition whereby
some additional trees be installed in an attempt to bring the
site into compliance with current landscaping requirements .
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of amending the PUD agreement to
allow Class I restaurants on Lot 5, Block 1, Elk River Plaza
Second Addition with the following conditions :
1 . IF A PARKING PROBLEM BEGINS TO OCCUR, ADDITIONAL
PARKING STALLS SHALL BE INSTALLED TO ALLEVIATE THE
PROBLEM. A REVISED SITE PLAN MUST BE SUBMITTED FOR
CITY REVIEW PRIOR TO COMMENCING WORK.
2 . IF LIQUOR IS TO BE SERVED WITHIN THE ESTABLISHMENT, A
LIQUOR LICENSE NEEDS TO BE OBTAINED FROM THE CITY
COUNCIL.
3 . IN AN ATTEMPT TO MEET CURRENT LANDSCAPING
• REQUIREMENTS, 10 OVERSTORY TREES BE INSTALLED
THROUGHOUT THE SITE .
