and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 71 -87
RESOLUTION DENYING PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO.
70060
WHEREAS, Ernst, Lane Ernst, Inc. has requested rezoning of
Lots 4 and 5, Lane's Brooklyn Center Addition, from R -1 to C -2 (commercial); and
WHEREAS, the City Council considered such proposal on February 8,
1971 and April 5, 1971; and
WHEREAS, the proposed zoning is inconsistent with the goals of
the Comprehensive Plan because:
1. The proposed zoning will tend to adversely contribute to
traffic conditions on Brooklyn Boulevard which are incon-
sistent with its function as an arterial highway moving
heavy traffic;
2. The proposed zoning promotes the further development of
intensely active commercial facilities fronting on Brooklyn
Boulevard and having direct access to Brooklyn Boulevard;
3. The proposed zoning does not encourage the development of
service /office uses and multiple family dwellings along
Brooklyn Boulevard, but rather to encourage further development
of more intensive commercial uses; and
WHEREAS, planning and zoning principles of providing an appro-
priate buffer between intensive C -2 commercial uses and residential land
uses cannot be provided; and
WHEREAS, intensive commercial encroachment on June Avenue would
deprive adjoining property owners of the full use and enjoyment of their
property for single family dwelling uses; and
WHEREAS, since the taking of adjoining property some years ago
for highway improvement, the character of the subject property has changed
from an intensive C -2 use to one of a less intense use, thus becoming
more compatible with adjoining residential uses:
RESOLUTION NO. 71-87
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, to deny Planning Commission Application
No. 70060 because it is inconsistent with the goals of the Comprehensive
Plan, inconsistent with planning and zoning principles, and would serve as
a detriment to the safety, health and welfare of property owners in the
immediate vicinity.
