and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 67 -135
RESOLUTION DENYING APPLICATION NO. 67016 SUBMITTED
BY MR. TERRY HARRINGTON
WHEREAS, Mr. Jerry Harrington has submitted Application No. 67016
requesting approval of site and building plans for a multiple dwelling develop-
ment in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of 65th and Camden Avenues
North (Parcel 210, Plat 89036), which approvals are required by the City's
Zoning Ordinance prior to the issuance of building permits for such development;
and
WHEREAS, the property in question is presently zoned 11 B -3 General
Business District which zoning classification does not adopt as a permitted
use (by reference), multiple dwellings, but only those uses actually described
in Bl and B2; and
WHEREAS, the City of Brooklyn Center has completed a lengthy compre-
hensive planning study of the entire city, adopting a Comprehensive Plan on
November 7, 1966, including therein a proposed land use plan indicating that
the property included in Application No. 67016 be put to commercial rather than
residential uses; and
WHEREAS, during the consideration of the instant Application, the Council
has viewed it in light of the Comprehensive Plan, to determine what effect this
type of development (residential) would have on the community's overall plan
for this area; and
WHEREAS, the Council finds the following:
1. The application for plan approval submitted has been sub-
mitted in error, as the B3 zoning on the property does not
include multiple dwellings as a permitted use, as was apparently
assumed by the City Staff in accepting the application, and the
Planning Commission in approving the application. The Council
finds, in fact, that the reference contained in the "permitted uses"
section of the B3 zoning classification adopting the permitted uses
of the B2 and B1 zones does not also adopt residential uses by a
2nd or 3rd reference contained in the "permitted uses" sections of
the B2 and BI zones.
2. That even if the property had been zoned properly for multiple
dwellings, the Comprehensive Plan presently in effect in the
City of Brooklyn Center would be adversely affected by residential
use of the property contained in Application No. 67016, and, in
fact, the installation of such a use would preclude the orderly
development of surrounding properties.
i
Resolution No. 67 -135
3. The concept of permitting residential uses within
commercial zones is alien to commonly accepted
planning principles upon which our Comprehensive Plan
is founded, and, in fact, when a new zoning ordinance is
adopted, to carry out the proposals of the Comprehensive
Plan, the separation of these uses will be maintained.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of Brooklyn Center hereby denies the approval of plans for a multiple dwelling
development as requested in Application No. 67016 submitted by Jerry
Harrington, and directs that no building permits be issued for construction
of multiple dwellings on Parcel 210, Plat 89036.
