Hearing Case No. LU 97-3

Zoning/Land Use
Rlc (Single Family Residential) / LI (Light Industrial)
Attachments
• Zoning map
• Land Use Plan map
• Map from East Elk River Planning Study
• Minutes from Council meeting dated March 18, 1996
Overview
One of the components of the Comprehensive Plan Update was to examine
industrial opportunities within the city. The area under consideration was
identified as a possible industrial opportunity based on the limited
knowledge of the property at that time. Subsequently, as the eastern area
began to receive more development interest As a result staff has acquired
additional information to identify specific wetland locations and other
• restricting factors. Based on additional information regarding wetland,

• topography, gas lines and other utility structures, the light industrial land
use that was identified for the subject 80 acres no longer makes sense.
The Eastern Elk River Planning Study includes a road corridor which is the
realignment of County Road No. 13 which will act as the physical separation
between land uses of light industrial to the west and open space/residential
to the east. The road will act as a similar land use transition south of County
Road No. 12 between future commercial as well as residential, again, on the
east side of the Country Road No. 13 realignment. With the additional
information that has been acquired with the study of this eastern Elk River
area, staff believes the land use plan amendment makes good land use sense.
Previous Actions
On March 18, 1996 the City Council denied a request to rezone the subject
property to light industrial. The rezoning application was brought forward to
rezone certain property to conform to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan
designation of LI (Light Industrial).
Recommendation
• It is recommended the Planning Commission recommend approval of the
proposed land use plan amendment by Contractor Property Developer's
Company, amending the land use plan from LI (Light Industrial) to MR
(Medium Density Residential).
