The direction from the council was to separate the various uses (educational,religious, <br /> health care) from the current"institutional use" definition, and review acceptable locations for all of these <br /> uses. <br /> The reference to "institutional uses" affects 17 sections of the ordinance with many of them being <br /> residential uses. During the 2018 comprehensive ordinance amendment for all commercial and industrial <br /> zoning districts (OA 18-03),residential districts were not included as these districts were to be looked at <br /> later. The council is now also being asked to review the comprehensive residential amendments. <br /> The residential district amendments are attached for the council's review. The current amendments <br /> (residential, commercial, and industrial) include all references to the term "institutional uses". <br /> The Planning Commission noted a couple uses that were repetitive in the text and had no concerns with <br /> including Residential Facilities in the downtown. (1-6 persons as permitted and 7-16 as conditional) <br /> The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the request. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> None <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ Ordinance <br /> ■ Zoning Chart <br /> The Elk River Vision <br /> A PehoMing community 2a itb revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional POWERED By <br /> service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity INAWRE1 <br />
