lkRiver MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: /Steven B. Ach, City Planner,_
DATE: February 27, 1996
SUBJECT: Ordinance Amendment Request
by the City of Elk River, Public
Hearing Case No. OA 96-1
Request
The City of Elk River is requesting an ordinance amendment to change the
dimensional regulations for urban residential (Rlc, R1d and Rle) zoning
districts and add the previously adopted standards for the BP and C4 zoning
districts.
• Overview
With the recent expansion of the urban service boundary and upcoming
rezoning requests to change properties currently zoned for 2-1/2 acres,
certain amendments to the dimensional requirements need to take place.
The first adjustment is to modify the dimensional regulations to clearly state
the minimum lot size in the R1c, Rld and R1e residential zoning districts for
both sewered and non-sewered conditions. In urban residential zoning
districts, the minimum lot size in a non-sewered condition (without water
and sewer), the minimum lot size will be 10 acres with 300 feet of frontage.
When water and sewer is made available to the properties, the subdivision to
urban size lots may occur in accordance with the dimensional requirements
outlined in each zoning district.
The second modification pertains directly to the Rle dimensional regulations
which is taking place as a result of the Planning Commission's discussion to
rezone the residential properties within the urban service boundary to a
residential district which requires a 12,000 square foot minimum lot size
with water and sewer. Rather than creating a new zoning district, staff is
recommending that the R1e zoning be utilized since the only location that it
exists in the City is the Hillside Estates area, which will ultimately be
• converted to a planned unit development. Using this zoning designation

Memo to Planning Commission Page 2
February 27, 1996
• allows modifications to an existing ordinance rather than creating a new
district.
The last change being made to the dimensional regulations relates to the
Business Park and Neighborhood Commercial zoning districts. These zoning
districts need to be included as part of the dimensional regulations as they
were previously adapted.
Attached are copies of the schedule of dimensional regulations as they
currently exist in the zoning ordinance, as well as a copy reflecting the
proposed changes.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend approval of the
ordinance amendment adjusting the dimensional regulations in the Ric, Rid
and Rte zoning district designations, and BP and C4 changes as outlined in
the attached exhibit.
