Please refer to Agenda Item 16, which explains the zone change request in detail. In addition to the rezoning, a comprehensive land use plan amendment is needed due to the uncertainty of the actual land use designation for a significant portion of this property. Prior to the actual rezoning request, it is appropriate to amend the comprehensive land use plan. This amendment will better reflect the intended use of the property and be consistent with the zoning of the property. e .. P.O. Box 490 · 13065 Orono Parkway · Elk River, MN 55330 · (612) 441-7420 · Fax: (612) 441-7425 Land Use Amendment April 26, 1994 Page 2 e ANALYSIS The existing land use plan for the area north of Meadowvale Road to the approximate intersection of Upland Avenue is designated as LI (Light Industrial) and HR (High Density Residential). The existing zoning of this site is both L1 and R3 (TownhouselMulti Family Residential). Currently, a single family home and two four (4) unit apartment buildings are the only structures on the proposed site. Staff is recommending the land use designation be changed to MR (Medium Density Residential) in the entire area to better reflect the indented and existing use of the property A portion of a large wetland will also be encompassed by the land use plan amendment. The reason for this is to have land use and zoning designation boundaries follow existing property boundaries. This will cause less confusion as properties develop by using a single zoning or land use designation versus split designations. j -- The main reason for considering this request is to provide some consistency to both the land use map and the zoning map. If the entire site is zoned R3, the Medium Density Residential land use designation will best reflect the intended use of the property. It is staffs opinion that the best use of this property, due to the amenities of the wetlands and surrounding single family uses, is Medium Density Residential. The City of Elk River has a large amount of High Density multi family land and is trying to achieve a proper mix by increasing low and medium density residential uses RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending approval of the Comprehensive Land Use Amendment changing the land use from LI (Light Industrial) and HR (High Density Residential) to MR (Medium Density Residential) based on the following: 1. THE LAND USE PLAN CHANGE WILL PROVIDE FOR CONSISTENCY WITH THE ZONING DESIGNATION OF THIS PROPERTY. 2. THE CITY CURRENTLY HAS A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF HIGH DENSITY MULTI FAMILY LAND USE AND IS TRYING TO ACHIEVE AN APPROPRIATE MIX BY INCREASING MORE MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL LAND USES. 3.

ACH, CITY PLANNERfl~ APRIL 18, 1994 FROM: DATE: ISSUE SUBJECT: REQUEST TO INITIATE A COMPRE- HENSIVE LAND USE PLAN AMEND. ? t2a..~ nD. Consider a request for the City to initiate a Comprehensive Land Use Plan Amendment. LOCATION North of Meadowvale Road, just east of McChesney Industrial Park. ATTACHMENTS t . . Location Map, Zoning Map, Land Use Plan Map OVERVIEW Last week's staff was presented with an issue by a resident who has a single family home that is currently zoned I-I (Light Industrial). Under the present zoning, the home would be classified as a legal non-conforming use. Under this circu~stance, it makes selling the home rather difficult because prospective buyers do not appreciate conditions relative to a non-conforming structure. Furthermore, a lending institution may have reservations granting a loan for similar reasons. The resident is requesting a rezoning of the property to R3 (Townhouse/ Multi Family Residential). This rezoning would allow the single family house as a permitted use and be consistent with the R3 zoning immediately to the east. In addition to the rezoning, a comprehensive land use plan amendment is needed due to the uncertainty of the actual land use designation (see attached land use plan map) and coincide with the zoning boundary. In order to assist in processing the resident's request and be able to make the April e 26, 1994, Planning Commission meeting, staff has begun the process to .. P.O.

If the City Council concurs with this decision, the application will continue on its COurse. On the other hand, the item can be withdrawn from the upcoming agenda if the Council would like additional information and/or time to consider this request. RECOMMENDATION ., It is recommended that the City Council approve a City initiated request to amend the Comprehensive Land Use Plan map. The specific request would be to amend the land use from L-I (Light Industrial) and HR (High Density Residential) to MR (Medium Density Residential). -- e complu.council ..
