City of Elk* River Request for Action To Item Number Mayor and City Council 10.1 Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by Work Session March 2, 2020 Cal Portner, City Administrator Item Description Reviewed by Activity Center Property Amanda Othoudt, Economic Development Director Reviewed by Action Requested Discuss and provide staff direction. Background/Discussion With the completion of the new senior programming space this fall, the existing Activity Center 55+ will no longer be needed for current city activities. Further, the facility needs numerous, expensive updates tc remain viable as a public building. The property is located in an R1 c — Single Family Residential zone. The three parcels total 1.16 acres. The county assessor has the property valued at $1.62 million which is not a reliable number. Staff has reached out to the development community to get a ballpark value for the property per council direction for residential use. ISD #728 has a need for additional parking, which would require a zoning amendment. Carrie Brummer has also inquired about the property and would like the council to consider maintaining the property as a community arts center. Carrie has asked to provide a brief presentation of her vision. Communications staff has also posted a survey for uses to our ERA community engagement folks. The survey information will be provided at the meeting. Financial Impact Property sale proceeds should be directed to the Elk River High School Parking lot improvements needed to accommodate senior parking at the multipurpose facility. Property tax receipts would benefit the General Fund, reducing the city-wide tax burden.
