The current and recent past land use at the site is brush/grassland/woodland. The site is currently zoned Single Family Residential (Rl a). The site is located in a "Mining" future land use category. The future land use category map for the City of Elk River indicates that the site proposed to be mined is adjacent to the Mineral Extraction Overlay District as defined by the City of Elk River (Figure 3). The land use map was adopted on August 16, 2004 as part of the Comprehensive Plan Update. The map guides the current and future land uses of the city through the year 2025. The land use map provides the foundation for the zoning of parcels within the city. Rezoning of the subject parcel to Mineral Extraction Overlay District, consistent with the future land use map, will be required as part of the project approvals. Land use surrounding the site is residential single family housing to the east of the subject parcei. Aggregate mining occupies the adjacent properties to the west, south and north of the subject parcel. 10. Cover Types.
