ITEM 6.9
TO:
MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
STEVEN B. ACH, CITY PLANNER~
FROM:
DATE: AUGUST 12, 1993
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO AMEND
THE ELK RIVER PLAZA PUD AGREEMENT
BY JIM LAROSE/PUBLIC HEARING, CASE
NO. CU 93-21
PROPOSED LOCATION
Lot 5, Block 1, Elk River Plaza Second Addition (Big Wheel
Rossi Building).
OVERVIEW
e
Jim LaRose is requesting a conditional use permit to amend the
Elk River Plaza Planned Unit Development Agreement to allow a
pizza and pasta restaurant facility. Mr. LaRose is proposing
to occupy approximately 3,400 sq ft (previously occupied by the
Billiard Center) of space in the Big Wheel Rossi building.
Over the years, several amendments have been made to the Elk
River Plaza PUD Agreement. The majority of these amendments
have been the result of the changing complexion of the shopping
center from a "specific use development" towards allowing
broader range of uses.
The proposed amendment to allow a restaurant facility on Lot 5,
Block 1, Elk River Plaza Second Addition would be compatible
with surrounding commercial uses. The properties use as a
restaurant provides diversity and contributes to stability of
the mall and plaza. Attached is staff's report to the Planning
Commission along with back-up information.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the
conditional use permit for Mr. LaRose by amending condition #3
in the staff report to emphasize the placement of trees along
the nursing home side and adding condition #4, specifying the
hours of operation. The conditions read as follows:
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 BEER AND WINE IS TO BE SERVED WITHIN THE
ESTABLISHMENT, A LIQUOR LICENSE NEEDS TO BE OBTAINED
FROM THE CITY COUNCIL.

REQUESTED ACTION
A conditional use permit to amend Elk River Plaza PUD Agreement
allowing a pizza and pasta restaurant facility.
e 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 C1,
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).

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
