That § 30-1026, DD downtown district of the City of Elk River Code of <br />Ordinances shall be amended to read as follows: <br /> <br />Sec. 30-1026. - DD downtown district. <br /> <br />(a) Purpose. As downtown Elk River changes, future preservation as well as any new construction <br />should reinforce the general character and quality of the existing downtown. The design of new <br />construction should take into consideration the location of the proposed building(s) as well as <br />incorporate traditional design elements and techniques that are currently represented in existing <br />structures. <br />The intent of the downtown district is to preserve this distinctive character with the appearance <br />that there are multiple buildings that are distinctly different from one another yet will allow a <br />uniform mass of building with the appearance of vertical separation. These standards shall be the <br />framework for any new development and designs shall strive for creative traditional arch itectural <br />character, while clearly being an expression of the architecture of its own time. <br />(b) Permitted uses. The following uses shall be permitted uses in the downtown district, subject to the <br />design standards set forth in subsections (e) and (f) and the site plan review process set forth in <br />subsection (g) of this section: <br />(1) Brewer taprooms (producing less than 10,000 barrels of malt liquor annually). <br />(2) Brewpubs. <br />(3) Business offices. <br />(4) Commercial recreational facilities. <br />(5) Day cares. <br />(6) Dry cleaning establishments. <br />(7) Financial institutions. <br />(8) Hotels.
