Request for Action <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />To Item Number <br />Planning Commission 5.1 <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br />General Business July 26, 2022 Zack Carlton, Community Development Director <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br />Resolution Approving Sale of Public Property <br />Reviewed by <br /> <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />Approve, by motion, the attached resolution finding the sale of approximately 6.875 acres of the third phase of <br />Natures Edge Business Park to be Consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />Earlier this year the city received approximately 30 acres of developable industrial land from Cargill. The transfer <br />was a result of a partnership with Cargill to extend street and utility services to Cargill’s new facility. This <br />partnership also provided the city with a developable outlot of approximately 28 acres in size. <br /> <br />At this same time, the city also received a letter of interest from GATR Truck Center to purchase approximately <br />6.875 acres of the outlot immediately adjacent to their current operation. The purchase will support the long-term <br />growth of their maintenance operations by creating a larger contiguous parcel for development. <br /> <br />GATR’s current facility, along with the land under review, are guided for Business Park uses by the <br />Comprehensive Plan, and automobile repair operations are allowed as a conditional use in the Business Park <br />Zoning District. Their final request and configuration will require additional land use applications, platting for <br />example, and will be reviewed by the Commission in accordance with city procedures. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />None <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />Respond to changing needs of the community. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> Resolution 22-02 <br /> Property Sketch <br /> <br /> <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br /> <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity. <br /> Updated: August 2020 <br />
