Item Description Reviewed by
Request by City of Elk River for Ordinance Amendment to
Section 30-1292 I-1 District, to Allow Public Water~Wastewater Reviewed by
Treatment Facilities as a Permitted Use, Public Hearing
Action Requested
Approval of ordinance amending sections 30-1292 of the Elk River City Code relating to the light
industrial zoning district.
Summary
Waste water treatment is a conditional use in the I-1 zoning district, which is where the existing Waste
Water Treatment Plant is located. Any expansion would require a conditional use permit, including those
mandated by the state or federal government.
This puts the Ciry is a position where it cannot react to residents' concerns raised during a public hearing,
as the Waste Water Treatment Plant (including all trunks, lift stations, etc serving the plant) represents a
significant capital investment, and relocating it is not an option.) The ordinance, if approved, would
allow amunicipally-owned plant as a permitted use.
Planning Commission Discussion
The Planning Commission wanted to ensure that the proposed ordinance was not drafted to avoid citizen
comment. Staff assured them that was not the case.
Public Comment
No comments were received either in support or opposition.
