City of <br /> El . ...._ <br /> „•-ss <br /> Request for Action <br /> River <br /> To Item Number <br /> Planning Commission 4.1 <br /> Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br /> Public Hearing June 28, 2016 Chris Leeseberg, Senior Planner <br /> Item Description Reviewed by <br /> City of Elk River Zack Carlton,Planning Manager <br /> • Ordinance Amendment Relating to the XCR Reviewed by <br /> (Extreme Commercial Recreation) Zoning <br /> District, Case No. OA 16-05 <br /> Action Requested <br /> Recommend,by motion,approval of the Ordinance Amendment as proposed. <br /> Background/Discussion <br /> City staff is seeking an ordinance amendment to reduce the minimum lot size for the Extreme <br /> Commercial Recreation (XCR) zoning district. During the process of creating the XCR zoning district <br /> and rezoning the area from Commercial Reserve Transition (CRT) to XCR, staff reduced the minimum <br /> lot size from 20 acres to 10 acres. The 20 acre minimum lot size, for CRT,was adopted to help minimize <br /> smaller lot development until the area could be further studied. The XCR district is now a standalone <br /> district,independent of the "development reserve" CRT district. <br /> The XCR district is developing with a long term vision for permanent installations, and reducing the <br /> minimum lot size to 5 acres will allow for more manageable lots associated with the planned development <br /> and expansion of the district. It will also reduce initial fees, such as park dedication and surface water <br /> management. <br /> Staff is proposing to amend the following language: <br /> Sec. 30-1041. -Principal structures. <br /> Principal structures shall comply with the following dimensional regulations: <br /> I Building Setbacks <br /> Minimum Lot ' Front Side Garage Side Rear Maximum Lot Maximum Height <br /> Requirements ' (feet) (feet) (feet) (feet) Coverage (feet) j] <br /> f 2 <br /> C-1: <br /> Sewered No limit No limit 100% 45 <br /> C-2: <br /> Sewered No limit 15 15 40 50% 1 40 <br /> 1 acre <br /> C-3 1 25 ' 20 40 40°/o 45 <br /> 100'width <br /> CIVEREI i Y <br /> NATURE <br />
