The rezoning is consistent with the City of Elk River Land Use Plan adopted as part of the City <br /> of Elk River Comprehensive Plan. <br /> Background/Discussion <br /> The five-lot area is located immediately adjacent to Elk <br /> River downtown on the southwest and is zoned C2 <br /> (Office District). Three of the properties are utilized as <br /> residential, one property is a parking lot for an existing CR 33 <br /> commercial use (Dare's funeral home), and one property <br /> is vacant. The city is seeking to rezone the eastern half to <br /> DD (Downtown District) to match the area to the east, z <br /> reflecting current and planned uses, and the western half RR <br /> to R1c (Single Family Residential) to match the <br /> surrounding residential district. This is consistent with the Hwy 10 <br /> Comprehensive Plan,which guides the property for - CR 12 <br /> Mississippi Connections, a land use characterized by a - <br /> mixture of shopping and housing. <br /> The zoning and uses of the property currently do not <br /> match on the three western parcels. Rezoning these y <br /> properties would make the three residential properties <br /> legal conforming lots. Rezoning the parking lot would <br /> allow it to be consistent with the adjacent business that it <br /> supports.
