City Council Meeting <br />January 2, 2024 Page 4 <br /> <br /> <br />The change in Zoning designations proposed by the Applicant is standard practice for Lake Elmo <br />and other developing communities. The Rural Transition zoning district “is an interim holding <br />zone that will regulate land uses within those portions of the city planned and staged for <br />development that will connect to regional sewer service in accordance with the comprehensive <br />plan.” <br />The proposed land uses for the site must be consistent with the City’s adopted 2040 <br />Comprehensive Plan. Both zoning districts proposed are consistent with the future land uses <br />proposed by the Applicant through the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The proposed land <br />uses are also consistent wit the proposed zoning district and Comprehensive Plan. <br />Conditional Use Permit (CUP) <br />A CUP is requested by the Applicant for a drive-through facility serving the bank use on Lot 3 of <br />this development. City Code Section 105.12.920 permits drive-through facilities as an accessory <br />to a permitted use with the issuance of a CUP. The proposed bank is considered a financial <br />institution which is permitted by right in the zoning district. Therefore, a CUP will be required <br />for the drive-through but not the bank use. Staff have reviewed the site for applicable standards <br />relating to a drive-through facility. <br />Commercial Lot Land Uses <br />Lots 1 & 2 are proposed to be offices. Lot 3 is proposed as a financial institution, and Lot 4 is <br />proposed to be retail. All of these uses are permitted by right, and would ultimately be reviewed <br />and approved administratively unless a CUP, Variance, or other type of formal review is <br />identified as required. <br />Site Plan Review: <br />The Commercial lots were reviewed by staff for conformance with applicable zoning and <br />subdivision requirements. No flexibility is requested by the Applicant from City Code. <br />Therefore, any standards not reviewed through this process will be reviewed at the time of site <br />plan review on each commercial lot. Lots must be developed to all relevant city standards. <br /> <br /> <br />[remainder of page intentionally blank] <br /> <br /> <br />
