REQUEST FOR ACTION To Ci Council Agenda Section Communi Develo ment Meeting Date Au st 20, 2007 Item Number 6.9. Prepared by erem Barnhart, Plannin Reviewed by Scott Clark, Community Development Director Item Description Request by the City of Elk River for Ordinance Amendment to Allow Physical Recreation/ Training Facilities as an Interim Use in Business Park Zoning District, Case No. OA 07-11 - Public Hearing Administrator Action Reauested Planning Commission and Staff recommend adoption of an Ordinance that would allow Physical Recreation/Training (PR/1) as a permitted use in the BP zoning district if less than 5,000 sq ft, and allow PR/T as a conditional use if the space is greater than 5,000 sq ft. Backaround/Discussion At its meeting on July 16th, the City Council directed staff to develop an ordinance that would allow Physical Recreation/Training (PR/1) as an interim use (IUP) in the Business Park zoning district if the underlying land use is industrial, in response to concerns from a local business desiring to locate into the Elk River business park. The City Council recendy approved (July 16, 2007) an ordinance amendment that allowed PR/T in the Business Park zoning district, if the underlying land use designation, per the Comprehensive Plan, is mixed use or highway commercial (Case No. OA 07-06). The City Council felt that allowing PR/T as an interim use would not negatively impact the goals of the district. No timeline for the IUP was established by the City Council on July 16th. Attachments · Proposed Ordinance - Option A · Proposed Ordinance - Option B Overview / Analvsis Based on the direction received from Council, Staff proposes the ordinance as follows. Interim uses have a sunset date, or sunset event that triggers the ceasing of the use. Historically, the City policy has allowed IUP's for 3 years. Staff would suggest no change from this practice: Sec. 30-1294. BP business park district.
