RESOLUTION NO. 2023-66
RESOLUTION REGARDING THE RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION OF
PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO.2023-002 SUBMITTED BY LA
PALMA PROPERTIES II LLC FOR APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO
THE 2011 SHINGLE CREEK CROSSING PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
AND APPROVAL OF A SITE AND BUILDING PLAN FOR AN
APPROXIMATELY 2,678-SQUARE FOOT RESTAURANT AND DRIVE-
THRU ON BUILDING SITE R WITHIN THE SHINGLE CREEK CROSSING
PUD
(1340 SHINGLE CREEK CROSSING)
WHEREAS, Planning Commission Application No. 2023-002, submitted by La
Palma Properties II LLC ("the Applicant") requests review and consideration for approval of an
amendment to the 2011 Shingle Creek Crossing Planned Unit Development plans and documents
to allow for construction of an approximately 2,678-square foot restaurant and drive-thru on the
approximately 1.03-acre Building Site R located within the Shingle Creels Crossing Planned Unit
Development and commonly addressed as 1340 Shingle Creek Crossing ("the Subject Property");
and
WHEREAS, the Subject Property is situated in the PUD/C2 (Planned Unit
Development/Commerce) District, and the underlying C2 (Commerce) District was effectively
removed from the City's new Unified Development Ordinance, which became effective in January
2023; and
WHEREAS, the City's new Unified Development Ordinance contains provisions
under Section 35-2103.e (General Use Regulations) for those Planned Unit Developments
established prior to adoption of the new code in that, "Planned Unit Developments, and parcels
zoned as a Planned Unit Development, in accordance with prior zoning regulations, shall remain
subject to any and all agreements, conditions, and standards applicable to the Planned Unit
Development," and "amendments shall be processed in accordance with the procedures identified
for Planned Unit Developments in this UDO;" and
WHEREAS, City staff discussed the necessity of a separate use permit for the
proposed drive-thru use, as was stipulated in the prior zoning regulations for the underlying C2
District, and as a proactive measure a public hearing notice was published in the Brooklyn Center
Sun Post on April 27, 2023, mail notifications were sent to surrounding properties, and development
proposal signage was installed on the Subject Property; and
WHEREAS, it was ultimately determined that the request to amend the 2011 Shingle
Creek Crossing Planned Unit Development plans and documents sufficiently addressed the request
RESOLUTION NO.2023-66
for deviation from the approvals outlined under City Council Resolution Nos. 2014-075, 2014-076,
and 2014-077 for Building Site R, which outlined an approximately 5,400-square foot restaurant
pad site; and
WHEREAS, similar amendments to the 2011 Shingle Creek Crossing Planned Unit
Development for restaurant and drive-thru uses include Building Site B (1480 Shingle Creek
Crossing), Building Site C (1520 Shingle Creek Crossing), and an earlier site and building plan
approval for Building Site T (1330 Shingle Creek Crossing); and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center has amended the
Shingle Creek Crossing Planned Unit Development numerous times since the adoption of City
Council Resolution No. 2011-85, which was the first amendment to the previously approved 1999
Brookdale Mall Planned Unit Development and established the new Shingle Creek Crossing
Planned Unit Development, Master Plan, and certain allowances and development standards that
would govern over the PUD; and
WHEREAS, the proposal as contemplated under Planning Commission Application
No. 2023-002 comprehends additional adjustments to the 2011 Shingle Creek Crossing Planned
Unit Development Master Plan and Agreements that are considered a major amendment to the 2011
Shingle Creek Crossing Planned Unit Development as outlined under Section 35-8306 (PUD
Amendments), including a ten (10) percent or greater change in the floor area in any one (1)
structure; and
WHEREAS, the additional modifications to the Subject Property's parking spaces,
provision for a drive-thru, and request to adhere to the underlying C2 (Commerce) District signage
provisions as opposed to the adopted 2011 Shingle Creek Crossing Signage Guidelines, all require
approval of an amendment to the 2011 Shingle Creek Crossing Planned Unit Development plans
and documents; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Brooklyn Center held a duly
called public hearing on May 11, 2023, whereby a staff report and Assistant City Engineer's
memorandum were presented, and public testimony regarding the requested amendments to the
2011 Shingle Creels Crossing Planned Unit Development and site and building plan for the
approximately 2,678-square foot restaurant and drive-thru for the Subject Property known as
Building Site R within the Shingle Creek Crossing Planned Unit Development and commonly
addressed as 1340 Shingle Creek Crossing were received and considered by the Planning
Commission; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Brooklyn Center considered
the aforementioned requests in light of all testimony received, including the guidelines for
evaluating the aforementioned requests as contained in Section 35 of the City's Code, and more
specifically Sections 35-2103.e (General District Regulations -Existing Planned Unit
Developments), 35-7600 (Site & Building Plan Approval), 35-8306 (PUD Amendments), the 2011
RESOLUTION NO. 2023-66
Shingle Creek Crossing Architectural and Signage Guidelines, and in consideration of the goals and
objectives of the City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Brooklyn Center considers the
amendment to the 2011 Shingle Creek Crossing Planned Unit Development and site and building
plan requests to be an appropriate and reasonable request to the currently vacant Subject Property;
and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Brooklyn Center finds the
submitted plans for the Subject Property to be consistent with the General Development Plans for
the overall Shingle Creek Crossing Planned Unit Development and intended use of the Subject
Property, as it remains in general alignment with the plans last approved for Building Site R in
2014, which relocated the building from the middle of the parking lot and instead oriented the
building to run parallel with Xerxes Avenue North, which at the time was supported by City staff
for its greater walkability.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota to recommend that the requested amendment to the 2011 Shingle
Creek Crossing Planned Unit Development plans and documents and site and building plan, as
contemplated under Planning Commission Application No. 2023-002, be approved based subject
