H. 100 WHEREAS, the City Council on December 20, 1982 adopted Resolution No. 82 -255, adopting the updated Brooklyn Center Comprehensive Plan; and WHEREAS, the Plan (at page 90.3) states as a Plan Recommendation for the Southeast Neighborhood that high- density housing should not be allowed at the southeast quadrant of I -94 and T. H. 100 because of poor access to and from freeways through single family areas; and WHEREAS, the Plan (at pace 98 and. Figure 15) recommends that the area at the southeast quadrant of I -94 and T. H. 100 he c?evelq,-x with mid- density residential housing; and VMREAS, the Plan (on pages 82 and 105) also calls for development of housing designed specifically for the elderly and handicapped; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has considered at its January 27, 1983 and March 3, 1983 meetings, the above recommendations in conjunction with Application Nos. 83003, and 83005 submitted by the City of Brooklyn Center requesting rezoning from R3 to R6 of 7.15 acres of land at the southeast quadrant of I -94 and T. H. 100 and Application No. 83004 submitted by Blumentals Architecture for 138 units of elderly housing on this 7.15 acres and 32 townhouse units on an additional 6.12 acres at the same location; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Chapter 35 -202 of the City Ordinances, the Planning Commission held a duly called public hearing on March 3, 1983 to consider the amend- ment of the Plan; and 1 MREAS, the Planning Commission recommended adoption of the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment by Planning Commission Resolution No. 83 -1; and WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment at its March 14, 1983 regular meeting, in light of the entire Plan and in conjunction with Planning Commission Application Nos. 83003, 83004 and 83005 and concurs with the recommendations of the Planning Commission: NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center that Council Resolution No. 82 -255 (Comprehensive Plan) be amended to provide for high density housing on 7.15 acres of land at the southeast quadrant of I -94 and T. H. 100, based upon the following findings: 1. The proposed use described in Application No. 83004 for elderly housing is consistent with the City's Land Use Policy Plan as articulated on page 82 of the Brooklyn Center Comprehensive Plan. 2. The traffic impact on the adjacent neighborhood will actually be less than would be the case if the property were developed entirely with R3 -type uses and is further minimized by the access design of the site plan. RESOLUTION N0. 83 -43 3. There is no other R6 zoned land in Brooklyn Center, either developed or vacant, and construction of the project as designed would necessitate the rezoning of land somewhere within the City to R6. 4. The proposed rezoning and site plan serve a public need as witnessed in Point No. 1 above. 5. There is a minimum amount of high density housing in the Southeast Neighborhood, whereas the need for elderly housing in this neighborhood is substantial. 6. The proposed use is consistent and compatible with the surrounding single family and freeway development. 7. Recent rezonings of other land to R3 within the City mitigate the loss of 7.15 acres of land from the R3 zoning classification. 8. The subject property can support development within the requirements of the R6 zoning classification as witnessed by the proposed site plan suhmitted under Application No. 83004. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center that the Brooklyn Center Comprehensive Plan be revised to read as follows: At page 90.3 3. Encourage the development of townhouses in the pocket of land in the extreme northwest part of the neighborhood. The land is now undeveloped and portions of it are to be used for freeway purposes. The remaining undeveloped land will lend itself quite well to medium density housing. High density housing, other than housing for the elderly which has minimal traffic impact, should not be allowed because of poor access to and from freeways necessarily through existing single- family areas. The area should be developed as a complex with its own identity within its "parent" neighborhood. and at page 98: 12.
