ekr A� <br /> ( � ITEM 5.4. <br /> ty of <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> 1kRiver TO: Planning Commission <br /> FROM: Steven B. Ach, City Planner. � - <br /> DATE: July 27, 1995 <br /> SUBJECT: Ordinance Amendment by the City of <br /> Elk River, Public Hearing <br /> Case No. OA 95-8 <br /> Request <br /> The City of Elk River is requesting to amend the nonconforming uses section <br /> of the zoning ordinance relating to the amortization period of nonconforming <br /> junkyards. <br /> Background <br /> This ordinance is being brought forward as a result of the rezoning of Custom <br /> • Motors from I1 to residential. With this rezoning, Custom Motors now <br /> becomes a nonconforming use and is therefore subject to the city's ordinance <br /> regarding nonconforming junkyards. Currently, the amortization period for <br /> nonconforming junkyards is five years. However, the City Council directed <br /> staff to amend the zoning ordinance to extend that amortization period to ten <br /> years, which would allow businesses like Custom Motors adequate time to <br /> relocate to an appropriate site. <br /> Attachments <br /> Ordinance No. 95 - <br /> Recommendation <br /> It is recommended the Planning Commission recommend approval of the <br /> proposed ordinance amendment increasing the number of years for <br /> nonconforming junkyards from five years to ten years. <br /> • <br /> S:Planning/PC/0A95-8 <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
