Resolution No. 98-169 NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center that Application No. 98017 be approved in light of the following considerations: The rezoning will allow for appropriate redevelopment along Brooklyn Boulevard, which is consistent with the needs and redevelopment policies of the City. 2. The rezoning will allow for a development plan involving the expansion of the Brookdale Chrysler Plymouth dealership, which can be considered compatible with surrounding land uses. 3. The development of the property in question, will for the most part, conform with city ordinance standards. Variation from the buffer and setback requirements where the use abuts single family residential uses is acceptable given the landscaping and screening plans submitted. Also the expansion of the automobile service operation is acceptable given the landscaping and screening plans submitted. 4. The property at 6107 Brooklyn Boulevard cannot be developed by itself under the current C-1 zoning designation given the requirements for a minimum one acre parcel for service/office development on a major thoroughfare and must be combined with other parcels for redevelopment. The interim use of this parcel for the parking and storage of inventory is an appropriate use and still allows for the future combination of this parcel with other property for appropriate commercial development. 5. The rezoning of the land and the accompanying development plans allow for expansion of a existing viable business along Brooklyn Boulevard consistent with the recommendations contained in recent studies for the City of Brooklyn Center. 6. The rezoning is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The rezoning proposal demonstrates merit beyond the interests of the owner of land in that it will provide a substantial upgrading of the site and upgrading of the physical character of Brooklyn Boulevard and allow for the interim use of a parcel of land that would otherwise sit vacant and this is considered a benefit to the community.
