rk./ tJy of TO: PLANNING COMMISSION 1kRiverFROM: STEPHEN ROHLF, B & Z ADMINISTRATOR . DATE : JUNE 4 , 1993 SUBJECT: ZONE CHANGE REQUEST BY JOHN WEICHT AND ASSOCIATES/PUBLIC HEARING APPLICANTS John Weicht and Associates in cooperation with Elk River Associated Investors and the following property owners : Clara Chouinard, Dennis and Lori Anderson, Rita and Robert Walz, and Betty Munich. REQUESTED ACTION A zone change from R-2b Townhouse District, to PUD. The applicants are also requesting that the underlying land use for this property be amended to HB, Highway Business . The current land use designation on this property is MR, Medium Density Residential . • LEGAL DESCRIPTION The affected properties are all situated in the southeast quarter of the southwest quarter of Section 27, Township 33, Range 26, lying east of Jackson Road. The actual legal descriptions are quite long and cumbersome, but can be made available upon request. The affected properties are the four single-family houses shown in the southwest corner of the Elk Park Center site plan. The yards of these four single-family houses extend into the proposed Menards Lumberyard area. ZONE CHANGE The City' s policy now dictates that the a site plan accompanies a zone change to PUD. The Elk Park Center site plan has been provided in this packet, which includes the property in question with this zone change. Apparently, the four single-family homes are proposed to be owned by the developer and left as single-family homes to help buffer the project from adjacent property owners . If this is the case, the Planning Commission may wish to consider not changing the land use on the west half of the lots in question where the single-family homes are situated. RECOMMENDATION • Staff will elaborate more on this zone change request and provide a recommendation at Thursday night ' s meeting. P.O.
