A. That the Elk Park Center Planned Unit Development was approved by Resolution • <br /> No. 93-81 of the Elk River City Council on December 20, 1993. <br /> B. That development of the Elk Park Center Planned Unit Development is governed by <br /> Resolution No. 93-81 and the Planned Unit Development Agreement for Elk Park <br /> Center entered into between the developer of Elk Park Center and the City of Elk <br /> River on May 4, 1994 (The PUD Agreement). <br /> C. That Resolution No. 93-81 and the PUD Agreement do not allow pawn shops as a <br /> permitted or conditional use in Elk Park Center. <br /> D. That development of a pawn shop in Elk Park Center would be contrary to the uses <br /> allowed in Elk Park Center. <br /> E. That in the nearly 20 years since Elk Park Center was approved by the City Council, <br /> there have been only two amendments of the PUD Agreement,neither of which <br /> added additional permitted or conditional uses for the Elk Park Center. <br /> F. That amending the PUD Agreement to allow pawn shops at Elk Park Center would <br /> be inconsistent with the City's goals and objectives for Elk Park Center when it was <br /> approved in 1993, and inconsistent with the nearly 20-year history of operations at <br /> Elk Park Center. <br /> G. That amendment of the PUD Agreement to allow development of a pawn shop • <br /> would have a negative impact on the image of Elk Park Center and many of the <br /> other tenants in Elk Park Center. <br /> H. That there are numerous other opportunities within the City for the location of pawn <br /> shops and therefore no need to amend the PUD Agreement to allow pawn shops in <br /> Elk Park Center. <br /> I. That the operation of a Pawn Shop in this area would harm the image of Elk Park <br /> Center and create a negative social stigma to the area. <br /> DECISION <br /> THEREFORE,the City Council for the City of Elk River makes the following decision with <br /> respect to the application for a conditional use permit to amend the Elk Park Center Planned Unit <br /> Development to allow pawn shops as a conditional use: <br /> A. The record in this matter shall include all material submitted to the City and <br /> presented to the Planning Commission and City Council,including those materials <br /> presented in the staff reports,by the City staff, all materials and testimony submitted <br /> by or on behalf of the Applicant, and all testimony received from the public as of the <br /> date of this resolution. <br /> • <br /> -2- <br />
