FINDINGS OF FACT The parcels at 623 Proctor Ave NW and 620 Quinn Ave NW encompass a portion of the land the Applicant desires to use for a truck storage, maintenance, and repair facility and are currently zoned C-4 (Community Commercial). The C-4 zoning district does not allow a truck storage, maintenance, and repair facility as a permitted or conditional use. Therefore, the parcels at 623 Proctor Ave NW and 620 Quinn Ave NW are required to be rezoned to I-2 (Medium Industrial) prior to approval of the Conditional Use Permit. 2. The City of Elk River Comprehensive Plan, adopted May 19, 2014, guides the properties included in the Application (the "Properties") in accordance with the Mississippi Connections Plan, Adopted November 19, 2012. 3. The Mississippi Connections Plan describes the Properties and the surrounding area as "a variety of incompatible land uses in both residential and heavy industrial," and "suggests business park uses and employment centers." 4. The Mississippi Connections Plan also includes strategies for implementation of the Plan, two of which state: a. Work with the development community to identify and explore market opportunities and the feasibility of redeveloping the area as a whole. b. Work with interested property owners in the development of a master plan prior to rezoning the parcels. 5. On February 27, 2017, the Applicant submitted a Zone Change application, Case No. ZC 17-03, Conditional Use Permit application, Case No. CU 17-08, and N:\Public Bodies\Agenda Packets\06-19-2017\Final\7.2 a -c (attResolution of denial for all 3 applications.docx
