REQUESTED ACTION A conditional use permit to amend Elk River Plaza PUD Agreement allowing a pizza and pasta restaurant facility. • ZONING/LAND USE PUD (Planned Unit Development) /HB (Highway Business) BACKGROUND In 1987 , Big Wheel Rossi built a new building of approximately 16 ,000 sq ft on Lot 5, Block 1, Elk River Plaza, Second Addition. This development was consistent with the PUD Agreement at that time. In 1989, an amendment to the PUD Agreement to allow recreational facilities was approved by the City Council . Prior to this, another amendment was approved by the City Council permitting professional and business offices . The original PUD Agreement for Parcel F (aka Lot 5, Block 1, Elk River Plaza Second Addition) stated permitted uses would consist of "retail establishments" in accordance with the Cl, C2 , and C3 zoning text. Since a restaurant is not defined as a retail establishment, the PUD Agreement must be amended accordingly. The specific amendment would allow Class I (sit down) restaurants within any bay of the Big Wheel Rossi building (Parcel F) . USE ANALYSIS 110 Amending the PUD Agreement will allow restaurants within the Elk River Plaza development. A restaurant would be compatible P.O.
