Bacl~round/Discussion At its meeting on July 16~', the City Council directed staff to develop an ordinance that would allow Physical Recreation/Training (I'R/T) as an interim use in the Business Park zoning district, in response to concerns from a local business desiring to locate into the Elk River business park. The City Council recently approved an ordinance amendment that allowed PR/T in the Business Park zoning district, depending on the underlying land use designation (OA 07-06). The City Council felt that allowing PR/T as an interim use would not negatively impact the goals of the district. No timeline for the IUP was established by the City Council on July 16~'. Attachments None Overview/ Analysis Based on the direction received from Council, Staff proposes the ordinance as follows. Interim uses have a sunset date, or sunset event that triggers the ceasing of the use. Historically, the City policy has allowed IUP's for 3 years. Staff would suggest no change from this practice: Sec. 30-1294. BP business park district. T~,..........~.7 , ; Interim U ses Physical Recreation/ 'I'rainin~ for a period not to exceed 3 ~~ears.
