That Article VIII be added to Chapter 30, Official Map of the City of Elk River Code of Ordinances shall be amended to read as follows: OFFICIAL MAPS 30 -XXX. PURPOSE: Land that is needed for future street purposes and as sites for other necessary public facilities and services is frequently diverted to non -public uses which could have been located on other lands without hardship or inconvenience to the owners. When this happens, public uses of land may be denied or may be obtained only at prohibitive cost or at the expense of dislocating the owners and occupants of the land. Identification on an official map of land needed for future public uses permits both the public and private property owners to adjust their building plans equitably and conveniently before investments are made which will make such adjustments difficult to accomplish. It is the purpose of this ordinance to provide a uniform procedure for the proper use of official maps as authorized by the Minnesota Municipal Planning Act, Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.351 to 462.36. 30 -XXX. OFFICIAL MAP DEFINED: "Official map" as used in this ordinance means a map adopted in accordance with this ordinance showing existing streets, proposed future streets, and the area needed for widening or existing streets of the City. An official map may also show the location of existing and future land and facilities within the City. An official map may cover the entire City or any portion of the City. 30 -XXX. INITIATION OF PROCEEDINGS: Proceedings for adoption, amendment, or repeal of an official map or any part thereof may be initiated by (1) the City's Planning Department; (2) a recommendation of the Planning Commission; or (3) action by the City Council. 30 -XXX. REFERENCE TO PLANNING COMMISSION: Every proposed official map or change in a map shall be referred to the Planning Commission for advice and recommendation thereon, and such recommendation shall be submitted to the City Council within forty -five (45) days after reference to the Planning Commission along with the report of the Commission on the effect of the proposal on the comprehensive plan of the City.
