Memo to Planning Commission/ZC 99-3,LU 99-2 <br /> April 13, 1999 <br /> Page 3 <br /> ID <br /> and west. The property is adjacent the Meadowvale Elementary School and <br /> the City Railroad Trail. <br /> When considering adjacent land use and zoning, the proposed zoning would <br /> be compatible with the adjacent land uses and zoning. Furthermore, none of <br /> the businesses in the Meadowvale Commerical Park are specifically <br /> industrial uses. The bulk of the light industrial businesses are contained <br /> across County Road No. 1 in the Elk River Industrial Park. <br /> Community Commercial Land Use <br /> The neighborhood commercial land use was identified as a transitional <br /> commercial land use intended to serve a neighborhood or sub-area of the <br /> community. It is more compatible with residential areas than highway <br /> commercial uses. These type of land uses should also be located adjacent to <br /> collector streets to minimize impacts on surrounding land uses. Staff believes <br /> the proposed land use amendment reflects the purpose of the community <br /> commercial land use district. <br /> Neighborhood Commercial District <br /> The Neighborhood Commercial zoning district is intended for businesses that <br /> • serve adjacent residential neighborhoods and businesses in the immediate <br /> area. They should also be located adjacent to collector or arterial streets. <br /> Staff believes the proposed rezoning fits in with the purpose of the <br /> neighborhood commercial district. A list of permitted and conditional uses <br /> has been attached. <br /> Dimensional Regulations <br /> The parcel conforms to the minimum lot size, and minimum lot frontage <br /> required in either the C4 or I1 zoning districts. <br /> Recommendation <br /> Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the request by <br /> Richard and Dawn Schultz for an amendment to the Land Use Plan based on <br /> the following findings: <br /> A. The area under consideration for Community Commercial land use <br /> designation is adjacent to County Road 1, which is classified as a minor <br /> arterial roadway and which can provide for the adequate transportation <br /> needs for community commercial development <br /> • <br /> \\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\planning\stevewen\pcmmo\zc99-3pc.doc <br />
