Memo to the Mayor and City Council <br />December 16, 1996 <br /> <br /> City <br />Lakeville <br /> <br />Savage <br /> <br />Champlin <br /> <br />Brooklyn Park <br />Woodbury <br /> <br />Plymouth <br /> <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />Class I Restaurants <br /> <br />Permitted <br /> <br />B3, B4, CBDC <br /> <br />C2, C3, C4, C5 <br /> <br />B2, B3 <br /> <br />Conditional Use Permit <br /> <br />(C 1) Office Business District, C2, <br />CH <br /> <br />031) Central Business <br /> <br />B1, B2, 033) Shopping Center <br /> FD 1, FD3 <br /> <br />(C2) Central Business <br /> <br />The cities of Brooklyn Park and Woodbury most closely resemble Elk River in <br />how they review hotels/motels and class I restaurants. Those cities have <br />them as permitted uses in some commercial zones and conditional uses in <br />some commercial zones. <br /> <br />Planning Commission meeting <br /> <br />At the November 26,1996 Planning Commission meeting Paul Bell, owner of <br />Bridgemans Restaurant, spoke out against the proposed amendment. He felt <br />it placed and undue burden on business owners and they should not be <br />penalized because some highway commercial districts are adjacent to <br />residential areas. <br /> <br />The fact these uses are also permitted uses in the C 1 (Central Commercial) <br />district was also brought up. In the C 1 district, the surrounding properties <br />are zoned either C2 (Office) district or industrial with the exception of 4 <br />small lots on Jackson Avenue which are adjacent to a R2(Two Family <br />Residential) district; therefore, compatibility with adjacent residential zones <br />is less of an issue. <br /> <br />There was also some discussion regarding the locating of restaurants in <br />shopping centers and infill development downtown. If a class I restaurant <br />locates in a shopping center, many of the concerns associated with a class I <br />restaurant will have been addressed during the review required for the <br />shopping center. Infill development downtown will be buffered from <br />residential zones by office commercial zones and should not significantly <br />impact those residential zones. <br /> <br />s :\planning\scott\oa9616cc.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
