Case File: OA 07-13 <br />Page 2 <br />Financial Impact <br />None <br />Attachments <br />None <br />Analysis <br />Commercial Reserve Ordinance <br />City of Elk River <br />Staff has prepared an ordinance as directed b y the City Council. Should the Planning Commission and <br />City Council feel interim use permits are acceptable and appropriate, staff would suggest the attached <br />language, including the needs far escrow, and a firm time limit. <br />During the original workshop discussion with City Council, Staff voiced its concerns with interim use <br />permits. Staff recommends not allowing the development of new businesses in these areas until a land <br />use plan has been completed, believing that scattered development will severely negatively impact <br />development and planning efforts in the area. <br />It's fair to note that there are several other interim uses already outlined in the CRT zoning districts. In <br />drafting the original ordinance, these were chosen out of the already listed conditional uses in the A-1 <br />zoning district, having the greater potential or need for capital improvements, and impact on the <br />comprehensive planning efforts in the future. These were included out of a desire not to create any non- <br />conforming uses in the study area. <br />Action Motion by Second by Vote <br />Follow Up <br />S:\PLANNING\Case Files\OA\OA 07-13 TCR Amendment\Commercial Reserve Ordinance amendment to PC 12-11-07.doc <br />
