Background/Discussion City staff and the applicant, Copart of Connecticut, Inc., have been working together on a proposed land swap that would facilitate expansion of a salvage yard onto three oudots within the Cascade Industrial Park (PIDs 75- 712-0010, 75-712- 0030, & 75-712-0040) and a portion of the city owned oudot that includes the Youth Athletic Complex (YAC). The properties are zoned I-3 (General Industrial) where salvage yards require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). This will be the second phase of Copart's business development in the City of Elk River and would expand their total footprint to approximately 45 acres. At full build -out and operational capacity, the Copart operation will include a new 12,800 SF office and shop facility and 14 full-time employees. The hours of operation will remain Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and will be closed on weekends. The additional parcels proposed to be used as the salvage yard total 25 acres and are currently vacant/undeveloped oudots. The application package includes a request to vacate the undeveloped right-of-way through the property. N:\Public Bodies\Agenda Packets\08-17-2020\Final\7.2 sr Copartdocx
