City of <br /> <br />River <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Item # 6. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Scott Harlicker, Senior Planne~ <br />January 16, 2001 <br /> <br />Case No. OA 00-9 <br />Request by the City of Elk River for Ordinance Amendment <br />Regarding Landscaping Contractor Yards <br /> <br />Request <br /> <br />Consider a request by the City of Elk River to amend the Zoning Code to create a <br />definition for landscaping contractor yards and to allow landscaping contractor <br />yards as a conditional use in the A1 (Agricultural Conservation) District. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />· Uses allowed in the A1 zoning district <br />· Zoning map showing A1 zoning district <br /> <br />Overview <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />As a result of a recent request by a property owner to rezone certain property <br />from Agricultural to Highway Commercial, staff was asked to research the <br />possibility of amending the zoning code to allow landscaping businesses as a <br />conditional use in the A1 (Agricultural Conservation) District. <br /> <br />Currently, landscaping businesses are allowed as a conditional use home <br />occupation, but are not allowed as a separate principle use in the A1 district. A <br />review of our files indicated that there have been no conditional use permits <br />issued for landscaping businesses as a home occupation in the A1 zoning <br />district. However, Best Yard Services was granted a conditional use permit in <br />1999 to operate a landscape business as a home occupation in the Rla district. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
