CuYrently, to review the standards of a given PUD, one needs to Yequest a copy of the <br />PUD along with any of the potentially numerous amendments. <br />Planning Commission <br />No one spoke during the public hearing and the Planning Commission unanimouslyT recommended approval of <br />the proposed amendment. <br />Financial Impact <br />None <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />■ Support the growth of the business and residential communities. <br />Streamline processes and simplifyT ordinances for residents and businesses. <br />Improve understanding of cit�T standards. <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A 2a�elcolning co�nlnunity 2a�ith T evolutiona� y and spizzted T esou� cefulness, exceptional <br />se�vice, and coln�nunity engagelnent that encou�ages and ins�iz•es pTo�pe�zty. <br />rowEREo ar <br />�I'1 ���� <br />Update�l• January 2023 <br />
