. ~ e . Planning Commission Minutes July 24, 1990 Page 8 8. Consider Ordinance Amendment (Land Use and Zonin~ Maps) By the City of Elk River/P.H. Janelle Szklarski, Zoning Assistant, explained that the zoning and land use maps were being amended as part of the implementation of the Focus Area Studies. Chairman Kimball opened the public hearing. There being no one for or against the request, Chairman Kimball closed the public hearing. COMMISSIONER EBERLEY MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL THE ADOPTION OF THE LAND USE MAPS FOR AREAS A, B, C & D AS PER STAFF RECOMMENDATION. COMMISSIONER NADEAU SECONDED THE MOTION. Steve Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator, stated that the zoning map for the southeastern corner of Area D was inconsistent with the land use map, and that either the land use or zoning map should be changed so as to correct the inconsistency. Tim Keane, City Attorney, reminded the Commission that they should adopt the land use pattern which they feel is best suited for the property. Commissioner Eber ley stated that through the Focus Area Studies, a recommendation to preserve green space along Highway 10 was made. The City Council concurred with that recommendation. Therefore, the land use and zoning map should reflect that recommendation. Steve Rohlf explained that the land use map shown in staff's recommendation shows this property as having an underlying land use of agricultural. Mr. Rohlf stated that this is a departure from the 1988 Growth Management Plan, and that if the Planning Commission felt that it was necessary to preserve green space, this property should be shown as low density residential, not agricultural. Commissioner Eberley withdrew her previous motion with the approval of Commissioner Nadeau. COMMISSIONER EBERLEY MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPTION OF THE LAND USE MAP AS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF FOR AREAS A, B, AND C. AREA D SHOULD BE AMENDED TO CHANGE THE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF AGRICULTURAL IN THE SOUTHEASTERN CORNER TO LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL. COMMISSIONER NADEAU SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 4-0. COMMISSIONER EBERLEY MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL THE ADOPTION OF THE ZONING MAPS FOR AREAS A, B, AND C AS PER STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION. THE ZONING MAP FOR AREA D SHOULD BE CHANGED TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF C-3 ALONG HIGHWAY 10 SO THAT IT WILL BE CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND USE MAP. COMMISSIONER JOHNSON SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 4-0.
