Request by the City of Elk River for Rezoning of Ron's Foods site from R4 Multi-Family, to C3 Highway Commercial, Case No. %C 02-08 Director of Planning Michele McPherson indicated that the Council is asked to consider a request to rezone property located at 321 Baldwin Avenue (Ron's Foods) from R4 Multiple Family to C3 Highway Commercial. She indicated that the Council tabled the request on November 18, 2002, and adopted a moratorium on December 16, 2002, prohibiting the processing of any land use applications within the moratorium area until the Planning Commission and Comprehensive Plan Task Force could review the area to determine its ultimate land use. Ms. McPherson indicated that the Planning Commission reviewed several development scenarios. The Planning Commission had concerns about future transportation impacts and the current state of the existing local street system. She noted that the Planning Commission recommended that the area be rezoned and guided for commercial redevelopment. Ms. McPherson indicated that the Comprehensive Plan Task Force recommended that there should be a focused area study of the area once the overall land use plan is approved. Ms. McPherson indicated that staff is recommending to rezone the site to C-3 Highway Commercial to bring it into compliance with the underlying land use. Mayor Kflinzing questioned whether the public hearing was still open. Ms. McPherson indicated that the Council closed the public hearing on November 18, 2002. It was the consensus of the Council that there will continue to be transportation and traffic issues in the area, but the area should be rezoned to C-3 Highway Commercial because the areas has been functioning as a commercial area for many years.
