Rezoning, City of Elk River Page 2 April 26, 1994 • discussed. Unfortunately, the meeting did not conclude with an agreement by both parties to rezone the property. However, I believe a mutual understanding of each parties interest were clearly understood. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION As presented at the last Planning Commission meeting, a rezoning of Custom Motors was approved by the City in 1978. Upon further review, this rezoning was to cover only the south 1,500 feet of the entire fifteen (15) acre parcel. Essentially, the north half of this property has been mistakenly identified on the zoning map as I1 (Light Industrial). Although this could be argued that the zoning map should be corrected to accurately reflect the action taken by the City, it would be appropriate to take formal action to correct this oversight. Therefore, if the Commission decides not to rezone Custom Motors, action should be taken to rezone the north parcel. Please refer to the attached staff report dated March 22, 1994, for further information. RE COMMENDATION IPStaff recommends the Planning Commission recommend approval of the rezoning of the fifteen (15) acre site from I1 (Light Industrial) to Rib (Single Family Residential) based on the following findings: 1. THE REZONING TO R1B IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ADOPTED COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN MAP DESIGNATION OF MDR (MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL) AND HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED ON THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN SINCE 1980. 2. THE INCREASED DEVELOPMENT INTEREST IN THE WESTERN PART OF THE COMMUNITY SIGNIFIES A CHANGE IN THE TIMES AND CONDITIONS WHEREBY THE CITY NEEDS TO CONSIDER ESTABLISHING APPROPRIATE LAND USE AND ZONING DESIGNATIONS FOR COMPATIBLE DEVELOPMENT TO OCCUR. 3. THE REQUESTED REZONING OF THE FIFTEEN (15) ACRE PARCEL WITH ESTABLISH CONTINUITY AND COMPATIBILITY WITH THE EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT CURRENTLY EXIST ON BOTH THE EAST AND II WEST SIDES OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND ELIMINATE zccustom.planning
