known as 6701 Parkway Circle ("the Subject Property"); and
WHEREAS, on July 10, 1995, the City Council of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota,
adopted City Council Resolution No. 95-157, which approved the rezoning of certain properties,
including the Subject Property, from various I1 (Industrial Park) and C2 (Commerce) zoning
district designations to PUD/I1 (Planned Unit Development/Industrial Park) and the
establishment of a Planned Unit Development to accommodate common parking areas for the
properties located northwesterly of the intersection of Shingle Creek Parkway and Freeway
Boulevard; and
WHEREAS, the approval also contemplated agreements for the purpose of
creating certain parking, driveway, and access rights for the above-noted properties; and
WHEREAS, the approval of the aforementioned resolution outlined conditions
and considerations, of which included the execution of the Sixth Amendment to an existing
Easement Agreement and Modification of Declaration of Parking that was to be filed with titles
to the property with the Registrar of Titles at Hennepin County, and acknowledged specific
percentage use allowances for each building located within the Planned Unit Development; and
WHEREAS, said Sixth Amendment to the Easement Agreement eliminated the
previous requirement for a parking ramp, as outlined in the adoption of City Council Resolution
No. 84-112; and
WHEREAS, in 2019, certain amendments to the Planned Unit Development were
approved by City Council under City Council Resolution No. 2019-017 to remove the specific
percentage use allowances in place for those buildings falling within the existing PUD and given
on-going issues in meeting those percentage use allowances when filling vacancies; and

WHEREAS, following review of the proposed remodel and intended use as a
"children's day treatment center," City staff contacted the Property Owner (Hoyt Properties) for
clarification on the use; and
WHEREAS, following discussions with the Property Owner and a tour of a
similar facility operated by proposed tenant, Fraser, City staff determined that the only path
forward for the use would be for the Applicant to apply for consideration of a Special Use Permit
under Section 35-330.3.e, which allows for issuance of said Special Use Permit by City Council
to certain commercial developments that demonstrate on a case-by-case basis to meet certain
standards; and
WHEREAS, it was determined that a "medical clinic" would be of most similar
use to the proposed children's day treatment center, and the existing PUD currently allows for
"clinic" use within a building located at 6601 Shingle Creek Parkway, which is of similar build
and layout and located within the same light industrial park off Parkway Circle; and
WHEREAS, all proposed improvements are limited to the interior of the tenant
space with the exception of a proposed bus drop-off and pick-up area and sidewalk extension in

available to the south of the Subject Property; and

received,the guidelines and standards for evaluating this Special Use Permit contained in Section
35-220 (Special Use Permit) and Section 35-330.3.e of the City's Zoning Code, and the request
complies with the general goals and objectives of the City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan, which
identifies the Subject Property with a future land use designation of"Business Mixed-Use;"and

City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota did determine that Planning Commission Application No.
2021-004, submitted by Kyle Thompson of Hoyt Properties on behalf of Fraser, may be
