Action Requested
Approve, by motion, the Interim Use Permit with the following conditions to satisfy the standards set forth in
Section 30-654:
1. All openings to the accessory structure shall be closed when the business is in operation.
2. There shall be no outdoor storage of any business products or equipment.
3. The building must meet all commercial building requirements.
4. There shall be no customers/retail sales on site.
5. The IUP will expire upon the sale of the property.
Background/Discussion
The property, approximately 2.5 acres in size, is zoned R1-a (Single Family Residential), where residential
occupations that operate out of an accessory structure require an Interim Use Permit (IUP). The applicant is
requesting approval of a residential occupation to operate a wholesale chili, spice, and snack packaging
business within their existing 32’ x 72’ detached accessory structure. Their work involves re-packaging all
dried goods into smaller packages to resell to retailers. A pallet jack and a forklift will be used when
necessary. There will be no outdoor storage of any products or equipment.
Planning Commission
During the public hearing, no one spoke for or against the request, and staff have not received any comments
since the commission meeting.
The Planning Commission had no questions or concerns about the request and unanimously recommended
approval.

Action Requested
Recommend, by motion, approval of the Interim Use Permit with the following conditions to satisfy the
standards set forth in Section 30-654:
1. All openings to the accessory structure shall be closed when the business is in operation.
2. There shall be no outdoor storage of any business products or equipment.
3. The building must meet all commercial building requirements.
4. There shall be no customers/retail sales on site.
Background/Discussion
The property, approximately 2.5 acres in size, is zoned R1-a (Single Family Residential) where residential
occupations that operate out of an accessory structure require an Interim Use Permit (IUP). The applicant is
requesting approval of a residential occupation to operate a wholesale chili, spice, and snack packaging
business within their existing 32’ x 72’ detached accessory structure. Their work involves re-packaging all
dried goods into smaller packages to resell to retailers. A pallet jack and a forklift will be used when
necessary. There will be no outdoor storage of any products or equipment.
The operation will have two employees, the applicant and his wife, where all customer interactions will be
conducted remotely via phone and email only.
There will not be any customers on site and deliveries will be limited to standard mail and package deliveries
consistent with residential uses and there may be possible truck deliveries about 3–4 times a year for bulk
products.
Because the residential occupation is proposed to be carried out in the detached accessory structure, the
building code classifies the structure as a commercial use. This designation requires signed plans from a
licensed architect and structural engineer. Additionally, the structure and its use must comply with all
applicable commercial building, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical codes.
The city recognizes that introducing residential occupations in residential districts will be noticeable and
Page 150 of 197
strives to include approval conditions aimed at mitigating its impact.
Interim Use - Applicable Regulations
Before the city council may authorize an interim use, it must make the following findings:
1. The period of time for which the interim use permit is to be granted will terminate before any adverse impacts
are felt upon adjacent properties.
The ordinance (Section 30-801) states an approved IUP for a residential occupation shall terminate when the
property is sold or when a lease has expired. Although termination does not guarantee adverse effects will
not affect nearby properties, the recommended conditions strive to prevent this outcome.
2. There is adequate assurance that the property will be left in suitable condition after the use is terminated.
The proposed residential occupation will occur in an existing detached accessory structure and if the Interim
Use Permit is terminated, the site will be left in a suitable condition.
3. The use is similar to uses allowed in the zoning district in which the property is located.
Residential occupations are allowed with an IUP in the R1-a zoning district.
4. The date or event that will terminate the use can be identified with certainty.
The ordinance states an approved IUP for a residential occupation shall terminate when the property is sold
or when a lease has expired, so the termination of the use can be identified with certainty.
5. Authorizing the use will not impose additional costs on the public if it is necessary for the public to take the
property in the future.
If the public were to take over the property, no additional costs will be imposed on the public, as the
proposed residential occupation will occur in an existing detached accessory and the site will be left in a
suitable condition.
6. The applicant and user agree to all conditions that the city council deems appropriate for authorization of the
interim use.
This will be determined at the City Council meeting.
7. The applicant provides assurances deemed adequate by the city council that the use will terminate as provided
in the interim use permit. The city council may require the applicant to deposit a cash amount with the city, or
provide some other form of security, to ensure compliance with this criteria.
Again, the ordinance states an approved IUP for a residential occupation shall terminate when the property is
sold or when a lease has expired. A cash deposit does not appear to be necessary to comply with the
criteria.
8. Authorization of the interim use will not result in adverse effects on the public health, safety, or welfare.
The proposed use will take place entirely within the accessory structure, containing both possible unsightly
products and noise. No customers will be present on-site, thereby minimizing any potential traffic concerns.
Staff recommend the condition that all openings to the accessory structure be closed when the business is in
operation.
Page 151 of 197
9. The proposed interim use is consistent with the City of Elk River Comprehensive Plan and conforms to the city's
zoning regulations.
The use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan which guides the property as Rural Residential and single
family uses, with residential occupations, are allowed in the zoning district.

workshop. The primary duties will be blocked/unseen as it will be done indoors.
•The equipment that we will be using will consist of a simple weight scale, packaging
machine with a conveyor belt, and a sealing machine. We also have a pallet jack and a
forklift when necessary. These equipment are low noise levels there should not be any
concerns with bothering our neighbors.
•There will be no hazardous materials on-site.

purpose.
