Request by the City of Elk River to Amend Section 900.08 and 900.10.5. - Government Office and Facilities Staff report by Michele McPherson, Director of Planning. Ms. McPherson stated that Sherburne County has a purchase agreement with Hoyt Partners to purchase property located south of the existing courthouse and jail facility. Hoyt Partners has requested a land use amendment and rezoning on behalf of Sherburne County, in order to accommodate possible future expansion of the County Government Center. The Planning Commission reviewed the land use and rezoning, and as a result, the Commission felt it may be more appropriate to amend the ordinance to allow government offices in residential districts. She reviewed the proposed changes to the definition of government buildings and facilities, and government offices, and to add government offices as a permitted use in the residential zoning district.
