The Elk River Vision A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity Request for Action To Planning Commission Item Number 5.1 Agenda Section General Business Meeting Date June 25, 2019 Prepared by Zack Carlton, Planning Manager Item Description Multi-Purpose Facility Land Exchange Reviewed by Chris Leeseberg, Senior Planner Reviewed by Action Requested Approve, by motion, the resolution finding that the acquisition and conveyance of property completed as part of the multi-purpose facility project is consistent with the city’s Comprehensive Plan. Background/Discussion The multi-purpose facility project will expand the current footprint of the city’s ice arenas. As part of the project, the city and school district have agreed to exchange property as part of a boundary line adjustment to create a larger parcel that will accommodate the larger building. State statute 462.356, subd. 2 requires that publicly owned property shall not be acquired or disposed of unless the Planning Commission has found the proposal to be consistent with the city’s Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the property for Public/Institutional uses, and an excerpt of the land use plan is shown on the right. This category includes larger tracts of land used primarily for public and institutional uses. City Hall, the fairgrounds, and the county courthouse are also guided for Public/Institutional uses. In staff’s review of the project, the proposed land exchange is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as the proposed uses will be consistent with the current use, and both should be considered Public/ Institutional uses of the property.
