The City of Elk River requests that the Planning Commission consider a land use amendment for City-owned property from CC (Community Commercial) to LI (Light Industrial) located in the southwest comer of Business Center Drive and Joplin Street (Lot 1, Block 2, Country Crossing Business Center). She explained that the City purchased the property as tax forfeit in 2001 to provide future additional business park development. The City has a proposal for a 20,000 square foot multi-tenant industrial building to be developed by Orluck Industries.
