Zone Change from R1c to PUD,
Case No. ZC 22-05
Action Requested
Recommend, by motion, approval of an ordinance to rezone certain
property from Single Family Residential (R1-c) to Planned Unit
Development (PUD) for the following reason:
1. The rezoning is consistent with the City of Elk River Land Use
Plan adopted as part of the City of Elk River Comprehensive
Plan.
Background/Discussion
The subject property is 17.56 acres in size and located west of Fillmore
th
Street at the 178 Avenue alignment and is zoned Single Family
Residential (R1-c). The applicant is requesting a Zone Change to a
Planned Unit Development (PUD) to develop a detached townhome
development. The proposed subdivision will consist of 43 lots and
three outlots. The outlots are encumbered by overhead power lines
and wetlands and will not be developed in the future.
The proposed zone change is consistent with the multiple family
residential nature of the area with townhomes just north of the subject
property.
Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan guides the property as Traditional Single-Family Residential which predominately
consists of single-family detached homes occupying moderately sized lots. This land use is the most prevalent
residential type within the Urban Service Area and consists of a range of neighborhood typologies, including the
historic grid block pattern neighborhoods surrounding the downtown and newer curvilinear block pattern
subdivision developments in the north, east, and west. This land use, while predominately single-family detached,
should accommodate single-family attached, townhomes, and duplexes at transitional areas on the edges of these
neighborhoods, along primary transportation corridors, and adjacent higher intensity uses such as multi-family or
commercial.
The Elk River Vision
A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional
service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity.
Updated: August 2020
The proposed zone change is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Applicable Regulation
In reviewing a proposed amendment, consideration shall be given to existing conditions within the area directly and indirectly affected
by the proposal, the conservation of property values, the use to which the property affected is being devoted at the time, and relevant
provisions, if any, in the land use plan.
Staff does not believe there will be negative impacts to the road network, public utilities, or future park needs
because of the requested zone change. The proposed zone change is consistent with the multiple family
residential nature of the area.
In the review of the standards for a Zone Change as outlined, it appears that the request is consistent with all of
these standards.
