Planning Commission Page 3 October 23, 2018 ----------------------------- Commissioner Jordan asked if notification went out to the surrounding property owners and was there a defendable reason the Planning Commission could deny the request for the zone change. Mr. Leeseberg stated the surround property owners within 350’ of the property were notified of the public hearing and he didn’t know why no other property owners came. He stated this request meets the Comprehensive Plan and stated everything surrounding this lot is zoned multiple family. He stated if the applicant presented a site plan for the property, it may not require a Conditional Use Permit but staff would review the plan internally and the plan would have to meet all requirements such as parking, stormwater, landscaping and screening, etc. Commissioner Jordan stated he shared Mr. Schiefelbein’s concerns and stated it was a small spot to put a multi-family building. Chair Johnson stated he wasn’t opposed to the zone change but was having a hard time trying to visualize 10 units on that lot and still meet all the ordinance requirements. Commissioner Rydberg stated he didn’t feel an obstructed view is something that can be a reason to deny the zone change request. Moved by Commissioner Rydberg and seconded by Commissioner Larson- Vito to recommend approval of the request by Vinje Investments LLC for Zone Change from Townhouse/Multiple Family Residential (R3) to Multiple Family Residential (R4) as the rezoning is consistent with the City of Elk River Land Use Plan adopted as part of the City of Elk River Comprehensive Plan.
