its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 67 -273
RESOLUTION APPROVING APPLICATION NO. 67037
SUBMITTED BY JAMES LUSHINE FOR BROOKLYN
CENTER INDUSTRIAL PARK, INC.
WHEREAS, Mr. James Lushine, a principal in Brooklyn Center
Industrial Park, Inc. has submitted Application No. 67037 requesting rezoning
of the property at 6501 Humboldt Avenue North (Lot 2, Block 1, Twin Cities
Interchange Park Addition) from its present R -5 Multiple Residence zoning
classification to B -2 Regional Business; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the request
for rezoning at a public hearing held, pursuant to published and mail notice,
on August 3rd and 10th, 1967, considering all factors relating to the requested
rezoning, especially with relation to its effect on overall planning for the
City, with which the Planning Commission is charged, and the Council has
reviewed the recommendation of the Commission with respect to this requested
rezoning; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission and City Council did adopt in
1966 a Comprehensive Plan relating to the future use of land within the City
of Brooklyn Center, which Plan included the recommendation that the property
included within this Application be put to multiple residence use; and
WHEREAS, during the development of the Comprehensive Plan, the
former "Earle Brown Farm", an area of open agricultural use of which the
subject parcel is a part, was envisaged as a future "Industrial Park"
development by the City, even though the actual development of it to such
usage seemed quite distant and tentative, and, due to this uncertainty,
the traditional concept of a Comprehensive Plan as a general statement of
policy has been accentuated in the "Industrial Park" area, due to uncertainty
as to what specific types of development are most logical and feasible for
the area; and
WHEREAS, since the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, the "Farm"
has come to be owned by land developers who are proceeding to develop the area into
an industrial commercial residential complex, much in accord with the City's
original conception of its development, but naturally, with some deviation based
on more appropriate use of land in certain specific instances.
NOW, THEREFORE, The City Council makes the following findings:
1) The recent platting of the Industrial Park has provided a roadway
width of 100 feet on 65th Avenue to the west of Humboldt Avenue
lying immediately to the south of this site. It is expected that
this roadway would become one of the major entrances into the
Resolution No. 67 -273
Industrial Park area, resulting in a great deal of traffic, including
truck traffic making turns, stopping, accelerating and decelerating
at this intersection, which activity would be detrimental to any
multiple residential uses which could be established on this
property in accord with the R -5 zoning now in effect.
2) The proposed zoning to B -2 Regional Commerce is in actuality
an extension of intensive zoning to the south and west, even
though the actual zoning classification to the south and west
is for industrial rather than for commercial purposes.
3) The applicant has indicated that the future use of this property
would be as an automotive service station, provided that necessary
permission was granted by the City. It is felt that there is a
need for commercial activity of this type in this immediate area,
given the existence of the high school immediately across
Humboldt Avenue, the future existence of multiple residences
to the north, and the future development of industrial activity to
the west, all of which, it would seem, would have a need for this
type of facility.
4) The rezoning to a commercial classification will not have a
detrimental effect on existing homes to the southeast across
Humboldt Avenue or soon -to -be constructed residential uses
to the north, the homes being removed from this site by a
substantial distance, and the future apartment development in
fact being screened from future 65th Avenue by this commercial
site.
Thus, based on these findings, the City Council of the City of Brooklyn
Center hereby approved the rezoning to B -2 (Regional Business) as requested
l in Application #67037 for Lot 2, Block 1, Twin Cities Interchange Park Addition.
