-L/ <br /> ITEM 5 <br /> (y°f TO: PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> lkRiver FROM: STEPHEN ROHLF, BUILDING AND ZONING <br /> ADMINISTRATOR <br /> DATE : MARCH 16, 1993 Jc-i <br /> SUBJECT: ORDINANCE AMENDMENT SECTION 900 . 12 <br /> ( 13) (c) and ( 14 ) (c) "TEMPORARY <br /> STRUCTURES IN THE LIGHT AND MEDIUM <br /> INDUSTRIAL ZONES BY THE CITY OF ELK <br /> RIVER/PUBLIC HEARING <br /> The Elk River City Council directed staff to review a possible <br /> ordinance amendment to allow temporary structures in the light <br /> and medium industrial zones . There is a similar mechanism in <br /> the single family residential zones allowing a trailer house as <br /> a temporary dwelling for 6 months while constructing a <br /> permanent dwelling. <br /> Staff feels temporary structures can be allowed in the light <br /> and medium industrial zones to accommodate temporary needs <br /> while a permanent structure is being constructed. However, <br /> temporary structures do raise concerns such as how to define <br /> • "temporary, " how to ensure the temporary use is removed, and <br /> that the temporary structure meet other applicable codes, <br /> especially those involving safety issues . <br /> Staff is recommending temporary structures be allowed in the <br /> industrial zones as a conditional use so the concerns mentioned <br /> above can be addressed. An ordinance amendment reflecting this <br /> is attached. <br /> • <br /> 720 Dodge Avenue N.W., Elk River, Minnesota 55330 (612) 441-7420 <br />
