City of <br /> <br />· <br />lveg : <br /> <br /> FROM: <br /> DATE: <br /> SUBJECT: <br /> <br />IT~ 7.17. <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Mayor & City Council <br /> .^ <br />Scott Harlicker, Planning Assistan~~ <br />July 15, 1996 <br /> <br />Request for Ordinance Amendment by the <br />City of Elk River Regarding Permitted and <br />Conditional Uses in the I-1 and I-2 <br />Districts and Definition for Light/Heavy <br />Manufacturing, Public Hearing <br />Case No. OA 96-4 <br /> <br />Issue <br /> <br />Consider a request by the City of Elk River to amend Section 900.08 and 900.12 <br />of the City Ordinance relating to definitions, light industrial and medium <br />industrial uses, and highway commercial uses. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />· Ordinance 96- <br />· Report to Planning Commission dated June 25, 1996 <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />There has been some discussion regarding the types of uses that are allowed in <br />the light industrial and medium industrial zoning districts. Currently there are <br />a number of uses allowed in both zones with little differentiation between the <br />two. The two industrial zones were established to serve different purposes; so it <br />would seem appropriate that the overlapping of allowed uses should be <br />minimized. <br /> <br />The purpose of the I1 District is to serve as a transition between more industrial <br />uses, residential and other business uses. The district is appropriate for <br />manufacturing, warehousing and similar industrial uses. The industries should <br />be compatible with each other and with surrounding land uses. The I2 District, <br />on the other hand, is intended to accommodate more intense manufacturing and <br />processing than would be allowed in the I1 District. These uses may tend to <br />generate more off-site impacts than those allowed in the I1 District. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
