<br />Request for Action <br /> <br /> <br />To Item Number <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council 7.1 <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br /> <br />Public HearingJuly 18, 2016Chris Leeseberg, Senior Planner <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br /> <br />City of Elk River Zack Carlton, Planning Manager <br /> <br /> <br />Ordinance Amendment for Extreme <br />Reviewed by <br />Commercial Recreation (XCR) Zoning <br />Cal Portner, City Administrator <br />District <br /> <br />Action Requested <br /> <br />Adopt, by motion, the proposed ordinance amendment to Section 30-1041 principal structures. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />City staff is seeking an ordinance amendment to reduce the minimum lot size for the Extreme <br />Commercial Recreation (XCR) zoning district. During the process of creating the XCR zoning district <br />and rezoning the area from Commercial Reserve Transition (CRT) to XCR, staff reduced the minimum <br />lot size from 20 acres to 10 acres. The 20 acre minimum lot size, for CRT, was adopted to help minimize <br />smaller lot development until the area could be further studied. The XCR district is now a standalone <br />district, independent of the “development reserve” CRT district. <br /> <br />The XCR district is developing with a long-term vision for permanent installations, and reducing the <br />minimum lot size to 5 acres will allow for more manageable lots associated with the planned development <br />and expansion of the district. It will also reduce initial fees, such as Park Dedication and Surface Water <br />Management. <br /> <br />Staff is proposing to amend the following language: <br /> <br />Sec. 30-1041. - Principal structures. <br /> <br />Principal structures shall comply with the following dimensional regulations: <br />Building Setbacks <br /> <br /> <br />Minimum Lot Front Side Garage Side Rear Maximum Lot Maximum Height <br /> Requirements (feet) (feet) (feet) (feet) Coverage (feet) <br /> <br />C-1: <br /> <br />Sewered No limit No limit 100% 45 <br /> <br />C-2: <br /> <br />Sewered No limit 15 15 40 50% 40 <br /> <br /> <br />1 acre <br />C-3 25 20 40 40% 45 <br />1 <br />100′ width <br /> <br />
