PLANNING APPLICATION ITEMS 6a. Planning Commission Application No. 2025-007 (Public Hearing) Applicant: OGA Madam Kitchen | Brooklyns Cultural Village LLC Property Address: 6000 Shingle Creek Parkway, Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 | 02-118 -21-12-0014 Request: Conditional Use Permit Summary: The Applicant is requesting approvals to operate a multi- purpose event space within an existing restaurant at Shingle Creek Center. Upon review of the proposal, it was determined that the Applicant will require approval of a conditional use permit. Planning Manager Ginny McIntosh reviewed a request for a conditional use permit. Ms. McIntosh stated that the Applicant, OGA Madam Kitchen, is requesting review and consideration of a conditional use permit to host private events within the existing OGA Madam restaurant space located at 6000 Shingle Creek Parkway in the Shingle Creek Center Shopping Center. She noted that, upon reviewing the proposal, it was determined that the Applicant will require the issuance of a conditional use permit. She added that the property is owned by Brooklyns Cultural Village LLC, the whole property is 1.6 acres, and is located within the Commercial Mixed-Use Zoning District and is future guided as Commercial Mixed-Use. Ms. McIntosh showed images of the location of the property. She noted that OGA Madam makes up the largest space building where it is located. Ms. McIntosh shared that the Applicant originally met with City Planning and the City Clerk in October regarding the use of the restaurant, and the Applicant was unaware of the conditional use permit requirement to hold regularly occurring events. She added that the Applicant had heard from their customer base that there was a need for this type of space in the community. She noted that the Applicant wishes to follow the correct City process, and that a majority of the clients are customers from in and around Brooklyn Center. She noted that City Staff notified the Applicant of the process and the timeline for bringing the application through the Planning Commission and the City Council. Ms. McIntosh noted that the Applicant is specifically interested in holding private events within their existing restaurant space. She added that the Applicant intends to hold both daytime and nighttime events, with the evening events catering to people who are 21 plus between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 1:45 a.m., Friday through Sunday. She stated that the Applicant indicated that the target age is really 25 plus to minimize issues that can occur with the younger groups. She shared that the Applicant would offer food and drink packages as part of the rental, and provide security in the form of two licensed security officers, with one dedicated to the inside and one dedicated to the outside spaces. She noted that there is no plan to alter the interior of the space, with the exception of perhaps moving furniture to create a dance floor. PC Minutes 12-11 -25 -3- DRAFT Ms. McIntosh explained that in recent years the City Staff has become increasingly aware of the multi-use or flex spaces, and oftentimes these are smaller tenant spaces where a smaller wedding or conference would be able to be hosted in the space. She noted that this type of use is not specifically addressed in the Unified Development Ordinance at this time, but given the flexibility in the use, the times used, and the presence of the kitchen space, the conditional use permit allows the Planning Commission to look at each use on a case-by-case basis. She added that in doing so, it allows the Planning Commission and the City Council to look at the hours of operation, any targeted events, the location of the use and its adjacent permitted use, noise considerations, and traffic/peak parking demands to avoid adverse impacts to other properties and users. She noted that if any concerns come up as part of the review process, the City may apply conditions on the approval. Ms. McIntosh stated that the maximum occupancy for OGA Madam is no more than 109 persons, which does include staff as well. She noted that the Applicant outlined the hours of operation to be Tuesday through Sunday, with Mondays being closed, 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., which more than likely serves as restaurant hours, unless there is a scheduled event. She added that Friday through Sunday would be 21 plus from 9:00 p.m. to 1:45 a.m. Ms. McIntosh furthered that the property is located in the Shingle Creek Shopping Center, of which also includes the former Target site, which is owned by the City’s Economic Development Authority, and another strip mall owned by ACER. This shopping center is also subject to a recorded Reciprocal Easement Agreement or REA. She explained that as part of the agreement, the properties have certain shared access and a common parking agreement. In 1985, the property needed a minimum of 890 parking spaces, with all the spaces befitting the old Target. She shared that if the property were looked at today, it would need 587 parking spaces total, and for the use of this space and not more than 109 people assembling, a maximum of 55 parking spaces would be required for that use, with the Subject Property parking lot having 79 onsite parking spaces today, and the adjacent strip mall having 143 spaces. Ms. McIntosh stated the conditional use permit is a permit that allows uses which have been identified because of their nature, operations, location, special requirements, or characteristics, and can only be allowed in a particular zoning district after submittal of an application, review, and recommendation by the Planning Commission and approval by the City Council. She added that the Conditional Use Permit regulates the location, magnitude, and design of conditional use, which is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the regulations, purpose, and procedures of the City’s Unified Development Ordinance, UDO. Ms. McIntosh noted that the City Council may not grant the conditional use permit unless particular criteria are met. She explained that the Applicant and the Property Owner will adhere to the conditional use permit language in the UDO; they would need to file a resolution for the conditional use against the property at Hennepin County, and they would be subject to revocation if they do not continue to meet the criteria of those conditions. She added that any expansion or alteration of the conditional use beyond what was submitted in the application would require an amendment. PC Minutes 12-11 -25 -4- DRAFT She stated that the Applicant shall obtain any and all permits and licensing approvals if necessary. She added that, as the Applicant is functioning as a business right now, they must maintain a City liquor license and need to maintain an optional 2:00 liquor license as issued by the Minnesota Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division (AGED) because of the events being held up until 1:45 a.m. with alcohol. She added that the Applicant would also need to apply for a separate Brooklyn Center entertainment license, which has separate requirements. She noted that any music or sound emissions need to be confined to the tenant space and not project beyond the property lines. She stated that there appears to be a damaged light pole that City staff was made aware of upon a visit to the Subject Property. She noted that all lighting needs to be functional and would need to be coordinated with the Property Owner, or it would become a code enforcement issue. She stated that the drive aisles need to be clear for emergency access, with a 20-foot minimum width to get around the building in case of a fire. She added that there cannot be obstructions to the windows and doors, specifically for ingress and egress for commercially zoned properties. City staff noted to the Applicant at one point that there were curtains and some vinyl applique on the doors that obstructed views into the space. She added that flashing or rotating signs are prohibited. Ms. McIntosh added that a public hearing notice was published in the Brooklyn Center on November 27, 2025, for the conditional use permit request. Mail notifications were mailed to all taxpayers and physical properties within 350 feet of the Subject Property, and the notice was posted to the City of Brooklyn Center’s website and subscribers of the City’s weekly events bulletin. OPEN TO PUBLIC COMMENTS – APPLICATION NO. 2025-007 There was a motion by Commissioner Leino, seconded by Commissioner Schonning, to open the public hearing on Application No. 2025-007. Voting on the motion: Chair Koenig and Commissioners Schonning, Viste, Jones, Leino, and Dunn voted aye. The motion passed unanimously. Femi K. noted that he had been to the OGA Madam many times and feels very welcome at the establishment. He shared that it is peaceful and well-controlled with security and good food. He stated that he feels good about supporting the business and enjoys it every time he has been. Commissioner Jones asked if he was a Brooklyn Center resident. Femi K. stated that at this time he is an Anoka resident. MOTION TO CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENTS (HEARING) There was a motion by Commissioner Leino, seconded by Commissioner Dunn, to close the public hearing on Application No. 2025-007. PC Minutes 12-11 -25 -5- DRAFT Voting on the motion: Chair Koenig and Commissioners Schonning, Viste, Jones, Leino, and Dunn voted aye. The motion passed unanimously. Diana Tiremba, the Events Manager and Coordinator at OGA Madam, stated that she started at the business just after the new year and that hosting events is a passion of hers. She noted that she has been coordinating events since 2022, and the events she coordinates are purposeful, intentional, and well-organized. She shared that as a nurse and EMT, she wants a safe and comfortable place to go and meet with friends who share common things with her instead of going to random places. She noted that the events started in random places, but upon going to OGA Madam, it felt like a good opportunity to have a consistent place to host events, which the owners of OGA Madam were very welcoming of, and it has been successful for her. She shared that when the owners noted there were some licenses that needed to be put in place, she was more than willing to work through that. She added that most of the patrons who come are co-workers, friends, and family. She stated that the goal is to continue to have events where they feel comfortable and safe. She shared that she would like to continue doing events at OGA Madam. Arku (Joyce) Aboge, owner of OGA Madam Kitchen, stated that the location feels a little bit dead. She added that this would bring some life back to the area, to come and have a happy hour with others in the area. She noted that it would give people a space to go to, rather than having to go downtown. She noted that as a business owner, it would be very impactful for her, because the rent is significant and the business is struggling with Target no longer being there, but this would really help to continue the business. Commissioner Dunn asked if the two had worked together before and what the biggest capacity had been. Ms. Aboge explained this is her first restaurant and Ms. Tirimba added her events are mostly friends and family, and the most people that the restaurant hosted were 70 people for a doctorate pinning ceremony. Chair Koenig asked if Ms. Tirimba is the event coordinator and will be responsible for the events. Ms. Tirimba noted that she is the one responsible for the security hiring, making sure people leave on time, setting up for the events after the restaurant closes, and then making sure that the event goes as planned. She shared that she is also responsible for the bartender, supplies, that bathrooms are stocked, emergency exits are open, and overall oversight of the whole event. Chair Koenig clarified that the restaurant currently has a liquor license in place. He added that he agrees that the area has shown a decrease in the crowds and shares concerns for the business. He noted that he has certain apprehensions about both the comprehensive plan and what the role is for the future of the site, and whatever comes to fruition. He noted that there has recently been an approval for an events center on Humboldt. He shared that as the final decision comes to the City Council, he likes to ask questions that both find the pros and the cons for Applicants. He noted that some of the pros are that it meets the community demand, and there is a culturally relevant, flexible events space. He noted that the Applicant is supporting a business and enhancing the PC Minutes 12-11 -25 -6- DRAFT existing restaurant for additional business and is aligned with the mixed-use flex space in terms of the zoning. He added that the nighttime pattern is good for no overlapping in parking because of the anticipation and at some point, they’ll need the parking from a bustling business. He stated that security will need to be committed to, as it is very important, especially when liquor is involved, because it can bring a negative connotation along with it. He shared that some of the cons are the events running at nighttime, the capacity with the ability to police it will be problematic with loitering, the multi-tenant aspect of the property, and the long-term redevelopment of the site. He asked what the difference was between an event center with a liquor license and a bar. Ms. McIntosh explained that under the City Code, it is a wide range. She explained that with the UDO, there is an event banquets and conference center category. She added that there is no separate category for nightclubs; there is an eating and drinking establishment use, so it ultimately becomes an in-between use. Chair Koenig shared that, being in this industry in the past, he has no opposition to the Applicant; however, for the business owner, if it starts to function too much like a bar, then it could potentially run into issues. He added that for the City, there have been other applications that have been similar and have been denied for some of the same reasons, so it is something that needs to be looked into as to what the difference is between a bar and an events center, and what is that differentiation for the protection of the owner and the City. Ms. McIntosh shared that in terms of the nightclub or bar aspect of the business, the City has a young population, and people want to do things in the City. She noted that liquor licensing is not the Planning Commission's responsibility and falls under the responsibility of the City Clerk’s office, but there are food and liquor ratios that need to be adhered to so that not just anyone can open up a bar. Chair Koenig shared that some of the issues just need to be thought about and commented on because if the business eventually gets busy, some of the things will need to be thought through. Ms. Tirimba noted that there is food offered at night right now, and it is lighter right now because the restaurant is open all day, but the food is a big seller at the events. Chair Koenig shared that there is great access and wonderful parking as well. He asked about the conditions that would need to be adhered to. Ms. McIntosh explained that for conditional use permits, the resolution from City Council with the conditions of approval is filed against the property and within 60 days of any approval from the Council. Chair Koenig asked if those conditions exist currently or if they are going to exist. Ms. McIntosh shared that what is in the Staff Report and listed for the anticipated conditions approval is that the use does not exceed 109 persons for building occupancy, no excessive noise, maintaining and applying for any of the licensing approvals that are needed, specifically the City liquor license and AGED 2:00 a.m. liquor permit, and the City of Brooklyn Center entertainment license. She noted that if there are violations of any of these, the conditional use permit could be at risk of revocation. PC Minutes 12-11 -25 -7- DRAFT Chair Koenig asked about an applicant if there were plans for outdoor seating. The Applicant noted there were discussions about that in the future. Ms. McIntosh shared that Section 35-7700 of the City Code outlines provisions for the expansion or alteration of an approved conditional use. She added that, for instance, if the Applicant were to open an outdoor patio, they would need to have a conditional use permit for it, which means they would need to come back before the Planning Commission and City Council. Chair Koenig noted this is good to know so that the Applicant is aware there are rules, regulations, and procedures in place to safeguard everyone. Ms. McIntosh noted that if there is a desire to alter the use or expand the use, which includes outdoor seating, the Applicant would be looking at an amendment to the conditional use because there is additional may be additional fees owed to the Metropolitan Council for sewer access for additional seating or persons, which needs to be taken into account as well. Chair Koenig stated that this could be something that could be talked about soon, as outdoor seating is a great idea, especially given the private location of the business. He added that he has apprehensions about it but is also just offering advice. Commissioner Jones asked how long the Applicant has occupied the space. Ms. Aboge stated she had been in the restaurant for about 2 years. Ms. Tirimba took over the events coordination in the summer. Commissioner Jones asked if there was a method of keeping track of the number of patrons in the restaurant. Ms. Tirimba explained most of her events are personal invites and she keeps track via WhatsApp or text message and can count who arrives via rsvp. Commissioner Jones asked about the licensed security and if they would be armed. Ms. Tirimba stated that the security that they use has that option, but it is not being used by them as it is a higher charge, and for the safety of the patrons, they prefer not to have it all because you never know. Commissioner Jones asked what type of food there is. Ms. Aboge stated that it is West African food, mostly Liberian or Nigerian food. Commissioner Viste asked about how the liquor license is enforced. Ms. McIntosh noted that the Applicant already holds a City of Brooklyn Center liquor license. She added that the 2:00 a.m. permit from the AGED with the State would need to be obtained from the State, along with the City entertainment license, and that would be a condition of approval, but to get the approval of a conditional use permit is the first step. Commissioner Viste asked how parking works on site. PC Minutes 12-11 -25 -8- DRAFT Ms. McIntosh noted that the Subject Property is located within the Shingle Creek Center shopping center and is part of a reciprocal easement agreement or REA with the neighboring strip mall owned by ACER and the former Target site, which is owned by the City’s Economic Development Authority. The agreement outlines certain provisions that allow for cross-access and shared parking, although the parking contains an expiration clause. She noted there are 79 parking spaces on site, and the adjacent neighboring strip center has 147 parking spaces. She shared that there are time limits on the reciprocal easement agreements, so she calculated the parking as if it were all shared parking and also separately if it were by itself and shared parking were no longer an option. She clarified that either way, the Applicant would still be falling within the range that is needed assuming parking for no more than 109 persons, no matter how it is calculated. Commissioner Viste asked if ownership of the other businesses were to change, those businesses would be responsible for maintaining the sites. Ms. McIntosh explained that typical reciprocal easement agreements will contain provisions that transition the agreement to the next owner and contain language to address common elements and costs such as snow removal services, or maintenance of the parking lot. She added that there are maintenance provisions saying these owners are responsible for replacing this percentage of the parking lot, and this is typically how it operates to make sure responsibilities are clearly established. Chair Koenig asked if it is accurate to state that, within a reciprocal agreement, there is the thought that you can park, you can park there, but there are individual spaces. He noted that there have been limitations because the future has not always been looked at, and that has caused issues with who will pay along the way in the future. Ms. McIntosh stated that it has been looked at in both ways in this situation. She noted that there are time limits on the shared parking situation and were largely intended to benefit the former Target. She shared that if the shared parking changes, OGA Madam should be able to adequately meet the parking needs on-site following a review of their on-site parking spaces and use. Chair Koenig asked if it was stated that there were once plans to put a standalone restaurant on the property. Ms. McIntosh stated that initially, in 1985, when the Target was being proposed, developer Ryan Companies did not fully know what they were going to put in the Subject Property where the Applicant is now but ultimately landed on a multi-tenant strip center for a total of 8,000 square feet. A previous iteration contemplated a restaurant pad site. Commissioner Leino stated that a lot of time is being spent on the verbiage of the reciprocal easement agreement. He noted that those are memorialized at the County Recorder’s Office and are not just handshake agreements; they are in writing and run with the land. He furthered that anyone who uses the property knows those are in place and can’t just come and state that they do not wish to share parking. He added that with a shared agreement, there is also an agreement that involves things like snow plowing and maintenance, and a portion of rent covers that common area maintenance. He noted that he has no concern about the agreement. Commissioner Dunn asked how late the kitchen is open. Ms. Aboge stated that the full kitchen is open until 8:00 p.m. and then from 10:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., some light food is offered. PC Minutes 12-11 -25 -9- DRAFT Commissioner Leino asked if the Applicant would allow caterers to come in. Ms. Tirimba stated that for the protection of OGA Madam, they would only offer the food from the kitchen. ACTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2025-007 SUBMITTED BY OGA MADAM KITCHEN | BROOKLYNS CULTURAL VILLAGE LLC There was a motion by Commissioner Leino, seconded by Commissioner Dunn, to recommend City Council approval of Planning Commission Application No. 2025-007 for approval of conditional use permit for the Subject Property located at 6000 Shingle Creek Parkway to OGA Madam Kitchen for operation of a Banquet, Conference, and Event Facility within the existing OGA Madam Kitchen restaurant space, based on the findings of fact, and per the outlined permitting and conditions of approval. Voting on the motion: Commissioners Schonning, Viste, Jones, Leino, and Dunn voted aye. Chair Koenig voted nay. The motion passed 5-1. Chair Koenig stated that his nay vote was not because he is not on board with it, but rather, he is on board with reservations. He stated that the nay vote is so that the City Council will review some of the reservations, and that will be of benefit to the Applicant, so that the information and knowledge presented will be seen. Ms. McIntosh explained that there is no second meeting in December for the Council, so the item would move to the meeting on January 12, 2026. 6b. Planning Commission No. 2025-007 (Public Hearing) Applicant: Rory Purnell (Melt City Barber School) | Thomas C Kite Property Address: 6800 Humboldt Avenue North, Brooklyn Center, MN 55430 | 36-119 -21-22-0047 Request: Conditional Use Permit Summary: The Applicant is proposing to open an approximately 1,500 square foot barber school in the Humboldt Shopping Center. Upon review of the proposal, it was determined that the Applicant will require approval of a conditional use permit. Associate Planner Krystin Eldridge reviewed a request for a conditional use permit. Ms. Eldridge stated she was presenting for the Melt City Barbering School of Craftsmanship. She provided background information stating that Rory Purnell is the Applicant and a master barber who offers vocational training and has been barbering for 20 years. She furthered that he obtained his instructor’s license in 2019 from the Minnesota Board of Barber Examiners. She noted that the Applicant has been searching for a unit to lease for a barber school for at least a year. She stated that the Applicant approached the City Staff in 2024 and has been working with the City’s Economic Development staff to find space. She noted that initially the Applicant looked at Shingle PC Minutes 12-11 -25 -10- DRAFT Creek Crossing, but this space did not have enough parking for a particular unit, and the Shingle Creek Crossing Planned Unit Development would not allow for educational uses. She shared that in talking with the Economic Development Staff, the Humboldt Shopping Center came up as an option. She noted that the Applicant started working with Elevate Hennepin, a business advisor, and submitted an architectural sketch plan for the space. She explained that this space is about 1,500 square feet with a small entry space, waiting chairs in the front, and a privacy wall separating the training space from the entry. She noted the Applicant proposes 16 barber training chairs, eight wash sinks, and a separate section for formal instruction, which would provide 18 chairs for students and instructors. She added that the unit has one bathroom, and the Applicant plans to install an additional bathroom with ADA dimensions. She stated that there is also a washer and dryer in the space for laundering of towels. Ms. Eldridge shared pictures of the planned space and shared that it is the last unit at the south end of the Humboldt Shopping Center. Ms. Eldridge explained that the Staff looks at the parking and lighting, particularly. She noted that the Humboldt Shopping Center is a traditional strip mall setup, which is mostly comprised of restaurants and general retail traffic, except for New Horizon Academy; however, they plan to relocate in 2026. She stated that the shopping center does not have a high traffic demand at this time. She shared that the restaurants in the area do a lot of food delivery, so parking is generally brief and transient. She explained that the Subject Property is considered a multi-tenant retail center in the UDO, where no additional parking spaces beyond those allowed in the retail formula shall be required of restaurant uses. She added that in instances where eating and drinking establishments exceed 15 percent of the gross floor area, the parking formula shall apply proportionally to the seats and employees occupying space in the center. Ms. Eldridge shared that the parking calculations under the UDO for the multi-tenant retail centers are calculated based on the entire shopping center, which is approximately 40,000 square feet. She noted that it was originally approved for 280 parking spaces in 1972; however, there are about 268 parking spaces left, and if the City were to review a shopping center of this size today, it would only require a maximum of 160 spaces, so it has many more parking spaces than it requires today. Ms. Eldridge commented that, for lighting in particular, the Subject Property in front of the space on the south end has two light poles over the parking lot, and there is one wall fixture on the back of the unit. She shared that the Staff is not aware of any lighting issues, but if there were any, the Applicant would have to work with the Property Owner to make sure those lighting fixtures are repaired and operable. Ms. Eldridge shared that the City Staff has noted the parking lot is in need of some repair and re- striping and has identified potential areas of improvement to the building façade, but currently there are no immediate concerns. Ms. Eldridge shared that for business operations, there is a maximum capacity of 16 students and one instructor being proposed by the Applicant. She noted that business hours would be from 8:00 PC Minutes 12-11 -25 -11 - DRAFT a.m. to 8:00 p.m. She stated that instructional time will be from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., training from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and then the instructor will stay to hold any cuts for personal clients from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Ms. Eldridge reviewed that for conditional use permits, the nature, operation, location, and any special requirements or characteristics of the property are reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council. She added that the City regulates the location, magnitude, and design with the conditional uses to make sure they are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. She shared that the conditional use permit may not be granted unless specific criteria are satisfied. She provided those criteria on the slide and stated that the Applicant responded favorably to all of the conditions, which were included in the Staff Report for review. Ms. Eldridge explained the anticipated permitting and conditions of approval. She noted that the Applicant and property owners shall adhere to the conditions of the Conditional Use Permit and file with the City Council a resolution approving the conditional use with Hennepin County. She added that the City Staff will work with the property owner to file that with Hennepin County. She noted that any expansion or alteration of the proposed use beyond what is contained in the application shall require an amendment to the conditional use permit. She stated that the Applicant shall obtain and maintain any permits or licensing approvals from the Minnesota Board of Barber Examiners, Hennepin County Health, the City of Brooklyn Center, and any other agencies before beginning the use. She stated that the Applicant shall submit a signed permit application for any proposed signage and should make sure there are no obstructions to any windows, doors, fire escapes, stairways, or openings intended to provide ingress or egress to the structure beyond 20 percent of the individual pane. She added that flashing and rotating signs are prohibited, including those located indoors and visible from public streets. Ms. Eldrige added that a public hearing notice was published in the Brooklyn Center Sun Post on November 27, 2025, for the conditional use permit request. Mail notifications were mailed to all taxpayers and physical properties within 350 feet of the Subject Property, and the notice was posted to the City of Brooklyn Center’s website and subscribers of the City’s weekly events bulletin. OPEN TO PUBLIC COMMENTS – APPLICATION NO. 2025-008 There was a motion by Commissioner Leino, seconded by Commissioner Jones, to open the public hearing on Application No. 2025-008. Voting on the motion: Chair Koenig and Commissioners Schonning, Viste, Jones, Leino, and Dunn voted aye. The motion passed unanimously. No one wished to comment on the public hearing either in person or online. MOTION TO CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENTS (HEARING) PC Minutes 12-11 -25 -12- DRAFT There was a motion by Commissioner Jones, seconded by Commissioner Dunn, to close the public hearing on Application No. 2025-008. Voting on the motion: Chair Koenig and Commissioners Schonning, Viste, Jones, Leino, and Dunn voted aye. The motion passed unanimously. Chair Koenig asked if the Applicant would like to comment. Rory Purnell, owner of the Melt City Barbering School of Craftmanship (MBSC), stated Melt City stands for Motivate, Elevate life through changing individuals' thoughts yearly. He added that it is the goal, and he is trying to help change the narrative for the community. He stated that the barber school, which he hopes to bring to the City, is pretty major, especially since the narrative of the young adults and the crime that has affected the community. He stated that he would rather see the narrative be seen with clippers. He added that a lot of kids do not know what to do or what they have, and when it boils down to it, it is all about finances, and that is when crime happens. He shared that he can offer them another way to win instead of being in the dark and offer the light, and that is what he is there for. He stated that the school is partnering with Brooklyn Center High School on Mondays to do an after-school program at the Brooklyn Center High School. He furthered that it will be a six-week program for boys and girls and teaches the etiquette of shaving and keeping oneself groomed. He noted that not everyone can afford haircuts, so being taught in high school, it allows the student to take that further into college, as adults, and one day have children and teach them as well. He shared that the goal is to help 20 to 30 kids with the program at the school. He stated that with the economy being the way that it is, and barbers charging $35 or more for haircuts, it is hard. He noted that at MBSC, the haircuts will be a maximum price of $15, so by being in this community, he can offer lower-priced haircuts, which will help with confidence. He noted that a mom with three boys could not afford the $35 for them to get a haircut every two weeks but could maybe afford the $30 for all three. He added that it would not only help her but also help the students at the school. He shared that at MBSC, there is an in-house program where each student is given a 20 percent commission on each haircut they do, which goes towards their tuition. He explained that tuition is $9,000 for MSBC, which is $725 per month. He furthered that if a student cuts ten heads a day, and the student stays consistent with that, they could make $600 a month, which goes towards their tuition. He stated that, as the only owner, this is his way of giving back to the community, because being a barber saved his life, and he knows how important it is to have a haircut to become a professional. He knows that it is special to raise a family and do great things in his community. He stated that he needs the community's support and that by supporting MBSC, it is also supporting the community and future taxpayers. Chair Koenig stated that what the Applicant stated is wonderful because the City of Brooklyn Center does have some core issues, but if the school can help to be an aspect of the school and community events, then MBSC is providing opportunities and providing guidance, which is so important to the lives of the young people. He commended him for attempting to give back and enhance the community. He noted that the Applicant would have to work with City Staff to get PC Minutes 12-11 -25 -13- DRAFT the building permits and signage. He stated that Humboldt shopping center is improving with a childcare center, event center, and grocery store. He added that the more tenants that are there, especially with the same vision as the Applicant, then the City will start to recognize that and the parking lot will improve, and the signage, and it will become a wonderful spot in the community again, as it is a great location that has a conglomerate of many communities. Commissioner Leino stated that he is strongly in support of this but asked if students are eligible for any kind of student loan program to go to school. Mr. Purnell stated that FAFSA would not support him as a new start-up, so he would need to make ends meet on his own. He noted that is where grants, scholarships, all of those things come into play, along with building relationships in the City. He added that this is why he created the 20 percent commission program, because he knew it may be hard for some to make the $9,000 tuition work. Commissioner Leino asked if there is a certain amount of time that the school needs to reach in duration for FAFSA to be an option. Mr. Purnell stated that after five years, it could be an option. Commissioner Leino asked how many barber schools there are in the State. Mr. Purnell shared that there are four of them. Commissioner Leino asked for more details on barber schools. Mr. Purnell pointed out that with MBSC, it is not just a barber school but also a transformation school. He added that with that, he is going out to all the barbershop owners and trying to create relationships with them because he hopes to show that he will be adding value to the shop by sending students to them and having them work in their shop. He shared that phase two is to have his own barbershop to send his students to. He noted that until then, he will continue to partner with other barbers and make sure that his students are ready to go into the real world fully prepared. He explained that there are business aspects of the school as well that the students will receive so that they leave all the knowledge they need to succeed. Commissioner Leino clarified that the reason he asked was to know how the process works for new barbers, so there is not just a flood of new workers, and that is what he thought was explained to him. Mr. Purnell explained that the students complete 1,500 hours, which goes to the Barber Board, then the student has to go to the board and do a cut in front of the Barber Board along with the written exam, and after that, they receive their license. He noted that it used to be the student would do the cut, then work under a Master Barber, then do the written exam and get their license, but that was changed due to some of the old barbers feeling threatened by the new ones coming in and potentially taking income away. Commissioner Leino asked what additional education was needed to become an instructor. Mr. Purnell stated that he had school to do through the U of M, which was almost like getting a teacher’s license, and then teaching a class in front of the Barber Board. PC Minutes 12-11 -25 -14- DRAFT Commissioner Dunn asked where he received his Barber’s license from. Mr. Purnell stated that it came from Moler’s Barber School. Commissioner Dunn stated he likes what the Applicant was doing and the importance of a good haircut. Mr. Purnell stated that he cuts hair at the Ramsey County Jail, and that a haircut really helps the men change their mindset. Commissioner Dunn asked about the personal cuts to hours of operation from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Mr. Purnell stated that he has 200 clients who will not let him retire and has so many personal experiences that are important to so many people. ACTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2025-008 SUBMITTED BY RORY PURNELL (MELT CITY BARBER SCHOOL) | THOMAS C KITE There was a motion by Commissioner Leino, seconded by Commissioner Jones, to recommend City Council approval of Planning Commission Application No. 2025-008 for a conditional use permit for subject property at 6800 Humboldt Ave North to Melt City Barbering School of Craftmanship for “Nonresidential educational uses including Area Learning Centers, post- secondary schools, business schools, trade schools, and the like, but excluding public and private elementary and secondary school,” based on the findings of fact, and per the outlined conditions of approval. Voting on the motion: Chair Koenig and Commissioners Schonning, Viste, Jones, Leino, and Dunn voted aye. The motion passed unanimously. 7. DISCUSSION ITEMS 7a. Recap of November 10, 2025, City Council Meeting Work Session: General Planning Information and Planning Commission Application Process Ms. McIntosh stated that a work session was held with the City Council at the November 10 meeting, which gave some general information about the Planning Commission and the application process. She noted that the copy of the PowerPoint that was used at the meeting was attached to the Staff Report. She explained that it has some general information about the purpose and history of planners in the United States, specifically, land use planners. She shared that it would be good to go through at a later meeting, but the presentation talks through the different types of approvals and how much flexibility the City has when it comes to different types of reviews, such as quasi- judicial reviews versus legislative, along with what is allowed to be put down for conditions. Chair Koenig noted that he would like to see the presentation done at one of the next meetings because it was a great presentation given at City Council and would be a great review for the Commission. PC Minutes 12-11 -25 -15- DRAFT 7b. City Council and Planning Commission Updates Ms. McIntosh stated that the Staff is planning to present the Economic Growth Plan for Brooklyn Center at one of the January Council meetings. She added that there would be a recording if someone could not watch or listen live. Ms. McIntosh shared that she has been busy doing work sessions with the City Council. She noted that she did present to Council a concept review for 5840 Lilac Drive, which was a former church by the Extra Space Storage, for a proposal for a new owner of a DHS recuperative care facility. She explained that a recuperative care facility is new to Minnesota and DHS was issuing registrations as of January 2025. She added that they are intended to be a stopgap for the homeless population that has received surgery or had procedures done and are okay to leave the hospital or clinic, but the likelihood of the person ending up in the ER is elevated because they may get an infection out on the streets. She stated that the recuperative care facility was designed to provide a kind of rehab-type or wound care for up to 21 days, with typically no stays of no more than 60 days with a doctor’s note. She explained that there was a recuperative care facility that occupied the Suburban Studios but was not in compliance with zoning per the City. Chair Koenig pointed out that the state has many types of these facilities that are on hold, due to the category in which the facility belongs under the current State and Federal Administration, and many of the facilities are under a lot of scrutiny. He asked if the City Staff and the Council are reviewing when to put the brakes on certain things. Ms. McIntosh stated that recuperative care facilities are unlike other group homes or congregate care facility types like MDH Assisted Living and DHS Community Residential Settings. DHS Community Residential Settings licenses recently had a moratorium in place for two years and are stopping applications that are in process. She shared that the City of Brooklyn Center has a majority of assisted living facilities with six or fewer persons in single-family neighborhoods, which has been a very large-scale talking point in the City and at the Legislature. The City has been working with a cohort of other cities in the northwest metro on legislation regarding congregate care facilities. She added that the Community Residential Settings, which are licensed through DHS, typically have four or fewer clients and are more inclined towards mental or physical disabilities. She stated that recuperative care facilities, which are also through DHS, are only a registration, not a license. She shared that the owner of the site at 5840 Lilac currently owns two recuperative care facilities in Minneapolis and brought a concept review forward to see if the City Council was inclined to allow for recuperative care, or a flex model with MDH Assisted Living. She noted that the concept reviews are non-binding and provide Council feedback but based on what was said by the City Council, there did not appear to be a lot of support for either use. Chair Koenig noted that the reimbursement would come from Medicaid and that those dollars are being scrutinized heavily, so the City needs to decide if that is part of the long-term goal of the City. PC Minutes 12-11 -25 -16- DRAFT Ms. McIntosh explained that, as of a few years ago, licenses for Assisted Living facilities with six or fewer persons under state statute 144G, and specifically DHS Community Residential Settings with four or fewer persons, do not allow for municipal rental licensing whatsoever. There are around 200 of these facilities in Brooklyn Center. She furthered that Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center have the highest concentrations of Assisted Living, and about half of the licenses in general are with Hennepin County for Assisted Living. She noted that the City is talking to the property owner because the property was purchased in August, so the owner will need to determine how she would like to proceed with the property. She added that in coordination with the City Clerk’s office, there was a two-parter work session with City Council in November on hospitality accommodations licensing and hotel zoning. She noted that there is a pet store ordinance that needs to be worked through, with a group that is making its way through the metro to have a humane pet store ordinance. She added that the City does not currently have this type of pet store, but Golden Valley recently passed an ordinance on it, and the City has been working on one as well. Ms. McIntosh noted that different sections of Humboldt are going to have upcoming CIP project improvements. She added that engineering has been working on proposed improvements along Humboldt Shopping Center, with proposals to have roundabouts installed. She added that the other section on Humboldt would be towards Minneapolis on the border of 53rd, which has minimal curbing and is on the proposal for 2026. She noted that there are lighting and traffic improvements off of Shingle Creek Parkway and Summit because there are issues with lighting, and the City is planning on replacing all the light poles in the next year. Ms. McIntosh stated that for the Planning Commission in January, it sounds like there will be one application that Luther submitted for a major PUD and major site and building plan amendments. She shared that when Luther constructed the Mazda dealership in 2018, there was a trash building, which they had decided to convert to a detail shop. This work has already been completed; however, it requires approval from the City Council as part of a Planning Commission application. She added that another thing that may come through in February is for Mound Cemetery, as they have wanted to construct an office and maintenance building. 7c. Development and Construction Updates Ms. McIntosh stated that many things are happening. She added that CAPI has the framing out for its expansion. She noted that New Horizon, on 7100 Brooklyn Boulevard, was hoping to have the parking lot done before winter, but this did not happen. They are still hoping to have things wrapped up by early May. Brooklyn Blvd Dental Clinic submitted a building permit for an expansion. She added that Luther Honda is going to be doing a service bay expansion, but it does not have to go through the Planning Commission because it falls below the threshold and is considered a minor amendment. Chair Koenig asked if there is an update on CVS or the triplexes near the Sanctuary. Ms. McIntosh shared that for CVS, there is a potential user, but nothing official yet. She stated that with C. Alan, they are in the thick of agreements right now with the lender who is now the owner, and are PC Minutes 12-11 -25 -17- DRAFT circulating revised reciprocal easement and operating agreements, a dust easement for drainage utilities, sidewalks, and trails, and a partial release. She stated that many things need to be redone because of the foreclosure. The hope is for them to obtain a temporary Certificate of Occupancy on the two constructed triplexes once all the paperwork is filed and common site improvement completed. Commissioner Leino asked if anyone had applied for a marijuana license. Ms. Eldridge stated that there are many inquiries weekly about it. She added that people need to go through the OCM first, and then come through the lottery, which has still not been planned. She noted that there are still three open retailer licenses, but no one has fully done the work needed. Chair Koenig referred to the City operating a municipal cannabis retail store. Ms. McIntosh stated that initially Council was receptive to potentially opening one as there is a dedicated municipal retailer license; however they have since backed off on that idea. She added that many of the inquiries and approvals through OCM have been looking at the same properties, so it will be a fight as to who gets what. She added that the City Clerk’s office has been coordinating the process for the lottery and getting it set up online through the system. Commissioner Leino pointed out that many of the CBD and hemp store owners may be in for a shock, as it has to be a standalone business; it cannot just be out of their current shops. Ms. Eldridge pointed out that the City is hoping to have the lottery process ready to go in January or February. 8. ADJOURNMENT There was a motion by Commissioner Leino, seconded by Commissioner Jones, to adjourn the Planning Commission meeting. Voting on the motion: Chair Koenig and Commissioners Schonning, Viste, Jones, Leino, and Dunn voted aye. The motion passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 9:13 p.m. _______________________________ __________________________________ Ginny McIntosh, Secretary Alexander Koenig, Chair App. No. 2026-002 PC 02/12/2026 Page 1 Planning Commission Report Meeting Date: February 12, 2026 Application No. 2026-002 Applicant | Property Owner: Mound Cemetery Association Location: 3515 69th Avenue North (County Identified as “6705 Beard Avenue North”) Requests: (1) Site and Building Plan, (2) Conditional Use Permit Map 1. Subject Property Location. Requested Action The Mound Cemetery Association (“The Applicant”) is requesting review and consideration of a request to construct an approximately 1,980-square foot office and maintenance building and related site improvements at the Subject Property located at 3515 69th Avenue North (County identified as “6705 Beard Avenue North”)—refer to Exhibit A. A public hearing was published in the Brooklyn Center Sun Post on January 29, 2026, and mail notifications • Application Filed: 01/13/2026 • Review Period (60-day) Deadline: 03/14/2026 • Extension Declared: No • Extended Review Period Deadline: App. No. 2026-002 PC 02/12/2026 Page 2 were sent to properties within vicinity of the Subject Property per City Code and State Statute requirements. The Applicant further provided mailers to surrounding property owners with background information on the proposed new building and rationale for investing in this project —refer to Exhibit B. It should be noted that the public hearing notice inaccurately identified the Subject Property with a zoning designation of R1 (Low Density Residential) District. While the Subject Property was long zoned R1 District, the adoption of the City’s new UDO in 2023 re-zoned the Subject Property to O (Public Open Space) District, which was a new zoning designation. The purpose of this district is to, “preserve or encourage the use of lands designated for public park and open space use.” City staff further noted that Section 35-4103 (Allowed Use Table) allows for “cemeteries” as a conditional use in the R1 (Low Density Residential) District only. As Mound Cemetery is the only cemetery “use” in the City, City staff reached out to the City Attorney for direction. City staff were advised to proceed with the site and building plan and conditional use permits requests by the Applicant, but that a subsequent, City-initiated text amendment would be required to Section 35-4103 to allow for cemeteries in the O District where the Subject Property is located. This step is reflected later in this report under Anticipated Permitting and Conditions.

BACKGROUND The Mound Cemetery Association operates an approximately 13.7-acre cemetery that was established in 1862, predating both the City of Brooklyn Center and the State of Minnesota. In January 1970, the City of Brooklyn Center entered into a 75-year lease of the southern four (4) acres of Mound Cemetery for park purposes at a cost of $15,000, and with a lease expiration of December 31, 2044. The property represented the last parcel to be acquired under the 1966 HUD Open Space Program. In December 2013, the Mound Cemetery Association approached City staff with a proposal to vacate the lease and transition Freeway Park back to the cemetery for its originally intended purpose. This was due to an emerging interest in natural burials, more families who desired upright monumentation, and a growing religious community whose burial requirements did not follow the traditional East-West rotation. The City and Mound Cemetery Association continued to meet and discuss the termination of the lease up until July 2018, when the City retained the services of a consultant to master plan the future of Freeway App. No. 2026-002 PC 02/12/2026 Page 4 Park. In October 2018, the City formally retained the services of landscape architecture firm ISG, who began master planning Freeway Park. In April 2019, City staff and ISG met with the Mound Cemetery Association to discuss the outcome of the park planning process and recommended option for Freeway Park. It was at that time that the Association agreed to donate one (1) acre of the cemetery with some conditions to facilitate the master plan. After some discussion, the City drafted a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to memorialize the parties’ understanding of the terms of the vacation of the lease and donation of the land (City Council Resolution No. 2020-21). In November 2020, Planning Commission Application No. 2020-009 was submitted for approval of the preliminary and final plat for MOUND CEMETERY SECOND ADDITION. Upon its approval, the Subject Property was subdivided, formally dedicating one (1) acre of land to the City for Freeway Park. Since then, the Applicant has been in communication from time-to-time regarding their desire to construct a permanent office and maintenance building on the Subject Property. The Applicant noted that they are now in the position to undertake this scale of project without compromising the long-term stewardship of the cemetery. Their desire for a permanent building on the cemetery grounds stems from a need to: (1) update and modernize their facility for daily operations, (2) provide a comfortable, private, and fully ADA-accessible office to meet with families during sensitive and important moments, (3) securely store equipment and records, and (4) create a dedicated space for historical displays, as some of the graves date back to 1855. The Subject Property currently has no permanent building structure on-site. Instead, the Applicant has leased a construction trailer, which is not ADA-compliant, and a porta-potty. A maintenance garage is also present on the Subject Property. Should the Applicant receive approvals for their application requests, the construction trailer and porta-potty would be removed from their current location at the southwest corner of the Subject Property. City staff engaged in conversations with the Applicant and their development team over the past months and the Applicant indicated plans to send out communication to surrounding property owners regarding their desire to construct a permanent office and maintenance building. The proposed building would allow the space necessary for ground maintenance equipment and some storage as well as office space (e.g. conference room, showroom for grave markers and monuments). SITE AND BUILDING PLAN As proposed, the Applicant would construct an approximately 1,980-square foot office and maintenance building at the southeast corner of the Subject Property. The building would be constructed approximately 35 feet from the property line along Beard Avenue and 35 feet from the southern property line shared with City-owned Freeway Park. Section 35-7600 (Site & Building Plan Approval) of the City’s Unified Development Ordinance provides that site and building plan approvals are required whenever there is an expansion or change in the use of the building or parcel of land or modification to a building, accessory structure, or site or land feature in any manner which results in a different intensity of use, including the requirement for additional parking, including the requirement for additional parking. Section 35-7604 (Site & Building Plan Approval Criteria) requires site and building plan applications to meet the following criteria: App. No. 2026-002 PC 02/12/2026 Page 5 a. It fully complies with all applicable requirements of this UDO; b. It adequately protects residential uses from the potential adverse effects of a non-residential use; c. It is consistent with the use and character of surrounding properties; and d. It provides safe conditions for pedestrians or motorists and prevents the dangerous arrangement of pedestrians and vehicular ways. Building Location Image 2. Approximate Location of Proposed Building. Building Materials Image 3. Proposed Building Exterior. The Applicant intends to use a mix of glass, steel siding, and stone veneer as the primary composition of their building. Cupolas would be located along the ridgeline of the roof, and a canopy would provide some shelter over the front door area. App. No. 2026-002 PC 02/12/2026 Page 6 Access and Parking There are no plans to modify access to the Subject Property. Although the new building is proposed for construction near Beard Avenue North, access would be maintained off 69th Avenue North/Shingle Creek Parkway. The existing entrance and exit is limited to a right-in, right-out only, and access to the proposed building would be gained through utilizing the existing drive lanes that wind through the cemetery. As proposed, the Applicant intends to construct a small parking lot with four (4) regular parking spaces and one (1) ADA parking space with loading zone. The regular parking spaces are identified as 9-foot wide with a 20-foot depth, which meets the City’s parking dimension requirements under Section 35-5504 (Parking Space Standards). A minimum 24-foot-wide drive aisle is required for two-way traffic within the parking lot. The proposed building would primarily serve cemetery staff. Assuming approximately 864 square feet for use as office space, the maximum required parking is no more than three (3) parking spaces per 1,000- square feet. As the dedicated office area is less than 1,000-square feet, the proposed parking should suit their needs. City staff requested revisions to the originally submitted plan sets to provide for select curbing within the parking lot and drive entrance into the parking lot as Section 35-5507 (Surfacing, Drainage, and Curbing for All Districts Except R1 and R2) requires the perimeters of all driving and parking areas to be bounded in cast in place concrete curb and gutter (e.g. B-612) or other form of curbing as approved by the City Engineer. Lighting As proposed, the Appicant intends to construct a small parking lot for cemetery staff and visitors. With this in mind, City staff requested the Applicant provide a photometric plan, which is currently in progress. The Applicant submitted proposed wall lighting, which includes the installation of certain soffit lighting near the front (main) door, wall pack style lighting over the garage doors, and a barn-style light on the north end of the building. Image 4. Proposed Exterior Lighting for Office and Maintenance Building. App. No. 2026-002 PC 02/12/2026 Page 7 It should be noted that, per Section 35-5400 (Exterior Lighting), “wall packs” shall be permitted only in loading and service areas and shall be down-lit. Within open-air parking lots, the minimum-maximum illumination levels are 0.2 fc to 4.0 fc (footcandles), with a minimum 10 fc (footcandles) within five (5) feet of an entrance exit for commercial uses. The City reserves the right to adjust exterior lighting requirements based on any concerns for safety, security, and/or impacts on surrounding properties, and any lighting shall meet the functional needs of the use without adversely affecting adjacent properties, neighborhoods, or public uses, as determined by the City. With that said, City staff are aware that this building will likely have the most use during daytime hours. Given the size of the proposed parking lot and the use, City staff is comfortable granting some relief in not providing pole-style site lighting but have conferred with the Applicant that they would like to ensure safe, consistent lighting is provided with the proposed wall lighting fixtures. Any light shall meet the requirements of Section 35-5400 with respect to providing direct cut-off lenses on any proposed wall- pack style lighting. The Applicant has proposed installation of a barn-style light on the north end of the building. As this light has the closest proximity to residential homes, the Applicant would need to demonstrate that off-site impacts stemming from direct views of the bulb are mitigated by the fixture design and/or location per Section 35-5400.4. Landscaping and Signage City staff did not request landscape plans to be submitted as part of this submittal given the zoning district in which the Subject Property is located and the use. Similarly, no requests were made by the Applicant to introduce new signage. If new signage is requested, a sign permit would need to be submitted for review and permit issuance. Assistant City Engineer Review Assistant City Engineer Touyia Lee reviewed the submitted plans and prepared a memorandum dated February 5, 2026—refer to Exhibit C. It should be noted the comments provided were with respect to the originally submitted plans provided by Anderson Engineering and last revised December 5, 2025. The civil set has since been updated to attempt to address certain items of note, including a request to ensure the proposed sanitary connection into Beard Avenue North is located parallel to the water service so that it is connected to the trunk line instead of connecting to the sanitary manhole. The Applicant will need to provide a SWPPP Plan, as well as a Construction Management Plan and Agreement and escrow. As the total site area exceeds five (5) acres, a review by the Shingle Creek and West Mississippi Watershed Commission is required and may result in additional comments. At this time, City staff are not in receipt of formal comments. Building Official Review Building Official Dan Grinsteinner conducted a cursory review of the plans for the proposed office and maintenance building on February 2, 2026, in which it was noted plans would need to be submitted to the City for permitting (e.g. building, mechanical, plumbing, electrical), and a Metropolitan Council SAC Determination form submitted—refer to Exhibit D. App. No. 2026-002 PC 02/12/2026 Page 8 It should be noted that the originally submitted plans reflected a building size of approximately 2,160- square feet. Following discussions with the Applicant, the building size was revised down to approximately 1,980 square feet. This change was made as the City of Brooklyn Center has adopted special fire sprinkler chapter 1306.0020 Supb. 2 for automatic sprinkler systems, which requires buildings under certain occupancy classifications and with 2,000 or more gross square feet of floor area to be sprinklered. Any trash enclosure will need to meet City Code requirements with respect to ensuring all trash and recycling is contained within the enclosure and with an opaque gate (i.e. no slats). In coordination with Brooklyn Center Fire, it was noted that the existing chain link fence running along Beard Avenue North should be reviewed for potential modifications to allow for a swing gate. This is to allow for a hose connection between the proposed building and nearest fire hydrant should an emergency occur. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT Conditional use permits, as outlined under Section 35-7700, are those uses which have been identified, because of their nature, operation, location, special requirements or characteristics, and may only be allowed in a particular zoning district after submittal of an application, review, and recommendation by the Planning Commission, and approval by the City Council. The conditional use permit process regulates: the location, magnitude, and design of conditional uses consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, and the regulations, purposes, and procedures of this Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). A conditional use permit may not be granted by the City Council unless the following criteria have been satisfied (Note: Applicant responses are derived from the business narrative documentation submitted— refer to Exhibit A): a. The conditional use will be in accordance with the general objectives, or with any specific objective, of the City’s Comprehensive Plan and this UDO. Applicant Response: This project is within the general objectives of the City’s comprehensive plan. City Staff Response: This conditional use will be in accordance with the general objectives and any specific objectives of the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan and the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) upon a text amendment to the City’s UDO to address an error made during the re-write and adoption of the City’s UDO, which was adopted in January 2023. Mound Cemetery is the City’s only cemetery use. Although the Subject Property was located in the City’s R1 District for many years, the Subject Property was re-zoned to an O District Property in 2023. While this change was reflected in the City’s adopted zoning map, the “cemetery” use was not updated in the use table and will require a text amendment. Any approval of Planning Commission Application No. 2026-002 will contain a recommended condition of approval to require a subsequent, City-initiated text amendment to correct this error. The Subject Property is future guided under the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan as, “Parks, Recreation, Open Space.” App. No. 2026-002 PC 02/12/2026 Page 9 b. The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the conditional use will promote and enhance the general public welfare and will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals or comfort. Applicant Response: N/A City Staff Response: Mound Cemetery was founded in 1862 and serves as the City’s sole cemetery; therefore, the cemetery has a long track record of both promoting and enhancing the general public welfare by serving certain social, environmental, cultural, and psychological functions within the community. Examples include: providing safe burial practices that prevent the spread of disease, providing a dedicated space for mourning and reflection, serving as a repository of local history, and as an alternative form of green space for the general community. Approval of the proposed office and maintenance building and parking lot should not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, or comfort of those residing in the immediate neighborhoods, and if anything should improve the overall public health, safety, morals and comfort of those surrounding properties. c. The conditional use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. Applicant Response: This project will not be detrimental to adjacent properties or the neighborhood. City Staff Response: City staff perceives the requested approval of the approximately 1,980-square-foot office and maintenance building as a significant improvement to the Subject Property considering the cemetery has been using a non-conforming, non-ADA compliant construction trailer and porta potty for a number of years. If anything, construction of the proposed building and removal of the former office and bathroom facilities should somewhat improve property values in the neighborhood and reduce the visual blight of the trailer as it is located in close proximity to residential homes. d. The establishment of the conditional use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. Applicant Response: This conditional use will not impede in any manner on the surrounding properties. City Staff Response: The conditional use (cemetery) has been in use since 1862. While the surrounding properties are fully developed with residential neighborhoods, Mound Cemetery has experienced increased demand for non-traditional burials from different faiths that have required additional space considerations as well as an uptick in upright monumentation and natural burials. The only other undeveloped area in proximity to the Subject Property is Freeway Park, which is owned by the City. Mound Cemetery and the City of Brooklyn Center agreed to replat the cemetery lands in 2020 in order execute an early lease termination given these space needs and to formally dedicate one (1) acre to the City for the park. There are no known plans to redevelop Freeway Park. e. Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress, egress, and parking so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. App. No. 2026-002 PC 02/12/2026 Page 10 Applicant Response: This project will have no impact on the traffic flow or congestion. City Staff Response: City staff does not anticipate any additional traffic considerations as part of the requested conditional use. The proposed building is primarily intended for maintenance and storage, with some office use, and there are no plans to provide a curb cut off Beard Avenue North. The existing ingress and egress off 69th Avenue North/Shingle Creek Parkway would remain in place, and minimal parking is contemplated as part of the new parking lot. As is typical protocol for cemeteries, any visitors typically park along the drive aisles (which are curb-less) and in close proximity to a burial plot they may be visiting. f. Impacts such as noise, hours of activity, and exterior lighting have been sufficiently addressed to mitigate negative impacts on nearby uses. Applicant Response: There will be no change from current noise levels or hours of operation, and lighting has been addressed to have no impact on surrounding properties. City Staff Response: City staff do not anticipate any new impacts with respect to noise or hours of activity. With respect to lighting, the Applicant will need to comply with Section 35-5400 (Exterior Lighting) of the City Code. City staff have been in communication with the Applicant with a request for a photometric plan and to ensure all lighting fixtures comply with code requirements to minimize glare and any negative impacts to surrounding residential properties. g. The conditional use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. Applicant Response: This project will conform to all applicable regulations of the district. City Staff Response: As noted above under Item a, the conditional use shall conform to all applicable regulations of the district in which the Subject Property is located once City staff are able to address the error regarding which zoning districts allow for “cemeteries” as a conditional use. All other requirements for the district would be met, along with addressing any outstanding commentary and requirements from the City’s Building Official, Assistant City Engineer, and the Shingle Creek and West Mississippi Watershed Commission.

Brooklyn Center, MN 55429 (952) 935-0954 info@moundcemeterybc.com Dear Neighbor, We are writing to share information about a proposed office and warehouse building planned for construction at Mound Cemetery in the coming months. The new building will be located adjacent to the city park on the southeast side of the cemetery. You may also receive a formal notice from the City of Brooklyn Center as part of the permitting process, and we wanted to take this opportunity to explain the purpose and timing of this project directly. Mound Cemetery has served this community for generations. In fact, the cemetery predates the State of Minnesota itself. Despite this long history, no permanent office or operations building has ever been constructed on the grounds. This project represents an important and long-overdue step in caring for the cemetery, the families we serve, and the surrounding community. Why now? At this time, the cemetery is in a stable financial position that allows us to responsibly invest in infrastructure improvements without compromising our long-term stewardship. This gives us a rare opportunity to address operational needs that have existed for many years. Why this building? The proposed office and warehouse building will allow us to: •Update and modernize our facilities to better support daily operations •Provide a comfortable, private, and fully handicapped-accessible office for meeting with families during sensitive and important moments •Securely store equipment and records, improving safety, organization, and preservation •Create space for historical displays, allowing us to honor and share the rich history of the cemetery and the community it serves Exhibit A The building is intended to be functional, respectful, and in keeping with the character and dignity of the cemetery grounds. Our goal is to improve how we serve families while continuing to be thoughtful neighbors and careful stewards of this historic place. We appreciate your time and consideration, and we welcome questions or feedback as we move through the City’s review process. Thank you for being part of the community that surrounds and supports Mound Cemetery. Please, contact Melanie Parrish, cemetery manager, with any questions or concerns. Thank you, Melanie Parrish 952-935-0954 info@moundcemeterybc.com N SITE PLAN DOCUMENTS FOR OWNER/CONTACT SURVEY / ENGINEER ANDERSON ENGINEERING OF MN, LLC 13605 1ST AVENUE NORTH, SUITE 100 PLYMOUTH, MN 55441 763-412-4000 SHANE TULLY MOUND CEMETERY MICHAEL HOWE 3515 69TH AVE N.
