No. 1262 bounded by County Road No. 10, Northway Drive, T.H. 152 and York Avenue North, extended; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 35 -210 of the City Ordinances, the application was heard by the Planning Commission at a duly called public hearing on May 22, 1975 at which time testimony was taken both for and against the proposal; and WHEREAS, the application was tabled and referred to the Central Neighborhood Advisory Group which submitted to the file a letter dated June 24, 1975 recommending that the C1 -A zoning not be changed; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reconsidered the Application on June 26, 1975, taking additional testimony from the applicant, the owner, and neighboring property owners; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance with respect to the long- standing zoning classification of the subject property as being service office rather than retail in character; and WHEREAS, Planning Commission Resolution No. 75 -4 was adopted on July 10, 1975, recommending to the City Council that the application be denied; and WHEREAS, the City Council considered the application at a duly called public hearing on August 4, 1975 and heard testimony both for and against the petition; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center: That Planning Commission Application No. 75012 submitted by Titus, Inc. is hereby denied, noting the following: RESOLUTION NO. 75 -183 1 The subject property lies adjacent to a large contiguous residential neighborhood, including the Garden City area, consisting of parks, churches, schools and single family dwellings, and the C1 -A zoning classification represents a suitable intermediate land use between the residential neighborhood and the regional Brookdale retail center. The proposed rezoning would effectively eliminate that buffer and extend the retail commercial influence directly into the residential district. Noise, glare, odor and other retail activities would substantially lessen the quality of life in the residential neighborhood, reducing its desirability for single family living. 2. The report of the Planning Commission, the report of the Central Neighborhood Advisory Group, and analysis by the City staff lead to the conclusion that the proposed zoning change is not necessary to achieve the highest and best use of the property, and is detrimental to the overall development of the City because: a. Noise, glare, traffic, and general commercial activity in the residential area would be increased. b. There is substantial available vacant land zoned C -2 in the City. C. There is a demand for service office facilities in the City as evidenced by the many office buildings which continue to be built in the vicinity of the subject parcel. 3. The proposed rezoning is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance in that: a. The land is designated for nonretail uses such as general office buildings, professional service buildings, medical clinics, etc. b. The Comprehensive Plan prohibits the further extension of retail shopping uses in the area of Brooklyn Boulevard except at major inter- changes such as T.H. 100 and F.A.I. 94. RESOLUTION NO. 75 -183 C. Thorough studies prior to the advent of the Comprehensive Plan indicate that the subject parcel has been consistently designated for nonretail purposes.
