Standard Lumber Zone Change Request The City Administrator indicated that Standard Lumber has requested a zone change from C-1, Central Commercial, to 1-2, Medium Industrial for their property located on Railroad Drive, west of the intersection of Jackson Street and Rail- road Drive. The City Administrator indicated that Standard Lumber's request for a zone change was caused by their desire to add a building to the Standard Lumber site and that the zone change is required because a lumber yarde is a non-conforming use in a C-1 zone. General discussion was carried on regarding other 1-2 zonings in the City of Elk River and the implications of Standard Lumber's nonconforming use in the C-1 zone. The City Administrator indicated that the zone change request would be inconsistent with the land use map, as the landuse map expands the commercial area beyond the Standard Lumber location. Mr. Tom Wise from Standard Lumber indicated that in 1979, the City Building Official had indicated that an additional building could be added to the property. The City Administrator indicated that prior to the adoption of the land use mjap and the zoning map, the Standard Lumber location was zoned 1-2 and at that time an additional building would have been allowable. Mr. Tom Wise indicated that Standard Lumber is in the process of looking for a larger site and projects a new facility within four to five years. The City Administrator indicated that a zone change is not a temporary situation and that the rezoning request would be inconsistent with the City's land use map. Councilman Schuldt suggested they accomplish their needs of an additional building by adding a mobile trailer to the site rather than a structure. The City Ad- ministrator indicated that a conditional use permit for a temporary trailer could be issued for a six month period. Councilman Toth suggested Standard Lumber look into the solution of the problem by applying for a conditional use permit to place a mobile trailer on the property rather than a structure.
