Item # 5.9. <br /> • �j <br /> City of <br /> Elk <br /> River <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Planning Commissigj <br /> FROM: Michele McPherson, Director of Planning <br /> DATE: May 22, 2001 <br /> SUBJECT: Case No. OA 01-06 <br /> Request by the City of Elk River to Include Government <br /> Buildings and Facilities as a Conditional Use in the <br /> Business Park District <br /> Request <br /> The Commission is asked to consider an ordinance amendment to add as a conditional use <br /> • <br /> in the Business Park District, government buildings and facilities. <br /> Attachment <br /> • Draft ordinance <br /> Analysis <br /> As the Commission is aware,the City recently changed its definitions for government office <br /> and government buildings and facilities. In doing so, the City created a nonconfoming <br /> situation with the current Sherburne County Government Center. The government center is <br /> zoned Business Park District and under the previous definitions,government offices were a <br /> permitted use in that district. Once courthouses and jails were removed from the <br /> government office definition and moved to the government buildings and facilities <br /> definition, this rendered the County Courthouse and jail facility nonconforming. <br /> In order to correct the nonconformity, staff is proposing that government buildings and <br /> facilities be included in the Business Park District as a conditional use. This would then <br /> allow the County to expand its facility with Planning Commission and City Council approval. <br /> • <br /> S:\PLANNING\MICHMC\PLREPRTS\OA01-06.D 0 C <br />
