RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT 2. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION OF A PARCEL OF REAL PROPERTY FOR REDEVELOPMENT PURPOSES Mr. McCauley discussed the public hearing this evening relates to the proposed acquisition for construction of a new dental clinic at 64th and Brooklyn Boulevard. He requested Community Development Director Brad Hoffman to outline the development. Mr. Hoffman outlined the redevelopment, the development agreement, and the acquisition of the parcel for redevelopment purposes. It was noted that the proposed project will address a number of public benefits to include but not limited to an increase in employment as well as an increase in the City's tax base. The redevelopment will also address a number of policies as noted in the City's Comprehensive Plan, the Brooklyn Boulevard Amenities Study, and City ordinances. The policies include: 1. The project reduces the effect of incompatible land use through redevelopment by recognizing the inconsistent zoning of the site. The adjacent parcels are zoned C -1 and this parcel is zoned R -5. 2. The project encourages the upgrade of economically obsolescent structures with the reduction of single family buildings on Brooklyn Boulevard. 3. The project places emphasis on service office development along Brooklyn Boulevard by consolidating the sites into one and expanding the use. 4. The development will restrict direct access to Brooklyn Boulevard. Access to Brooklyn Boulevard will be from the intersection of 65th which is signalized and will result in the elimination of a curb cut on Brooklyn Boulevard. 12/13/99 -3- 5. The Brooklyn Boulevard Amenities Study and the Comprehensive Plan recommends gradually eliminating remaining inappropriate single family structures and replacing them with office service uses on the site that are large enough to provide for adequate circulation and good site design. Mr. Hoffman informed the Council that the acquisition of 6421 Brooklyn Boulevard the agreement calls for construction to begin by July 17, 2000. All costs associated with the acquisition will be the responsibility of Park Dental. If the EDA approves these resolutions this evening, it would be the intent to start the process of acquisition immediately. Council discussed the issue and then opened the public hearing.
