Events & Rentals LLC) | Thomas C Kite Location: 6820 Humboldt Avenue North—Humboldt Shopping Center Requests: Conditional Use Permit Map 1. Subject Property Location Requested Action Charlotte Pratt of Oh Pretti! Events and Rentals LLC (“the Applicant”) is requesting review and consideration of a proposal to open an approximately 2,051-square foot multi-purpose event space and dedicated catering kitchen at 6820 Humboldt Avenue North (“the Subject Property”) in the Humboldt Shopping Center. Upon review of the proposal, it was determined that the Applicant will require approval of a conditional use permit assuming a most similar use of “Banquet, Event, or Conference Facility.” The business has been operating for nearly 10 years as a mobile service across Minnesota, partnering with • Application Filed: 04/08/2025 • Review Period (60-day) Deadline: 06/07/2025 • Extension Declared: No • Extended Review Period Deadline: App. No. 2025-003 PC 05/08/2025 Page 2 venues, event planners, and photographers, but the Applicant desires a permanent rental space to better serve their client base and business. In recent years, the City has received a few requests for “Banquet, Event, or Conference Facilities.” The nature of the business has historically required applicants to submit a Planning Commission application for review and consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council. A public hearing notice for the conditional use permit request was published in the Brooklyn Center Sun Post on April 24, 2025—refer to Exhibit B. Notifications were mailed to those physical addresses and property owners located within 350 feet of the Subject Property, and a copy of the public hearing notice was published to the City of Brooklyn Center website. A link to the public hearing notice was also published on the City’s website and sent out by email to subscribers of the City’s weekly events bulletin. Image 1.

City Staff notified the Applicant of the city process; however, as the lease was already signed and architectural plans prepared, City staff worked with the Applicant to move them onto the next possible Planning Commission meeting given their initial plans to open within 6 to 12 weeks from lease execution. The Applicant was aware of a former tenant who had operated a somewhat similar multi-use space out of the Humboldt Shopping Center; however, it had since closed. It was under this assumption that the Applicant presumed their use would be permitted. After conversations with the City Attorney, City Staff informed the Applicant and Property Owner representative of the need for a Conditional Use Permit before the business could open. The Applicant has since dedicated this time to ensuring compliance with the process by connecting with the Hennepin County Health Department regarding their proposed catering kitchen and coordinating a submittal to the State for plumbing review. Oh Pretti! Events & Rentals LLC specializes in tailored event planning, luxury furniture rentals, and custom-designed decorative cakes. They cater for weddings, corporate events, and other celebrations, offering a suite of services and partnership to have a full event planning experience. The Applicant has an established online presence through their social media page and business website where services may be booked: https://www.ohprettievents.com/ CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT The Applicant provided City staff with an interior floor plan, which identifies the approximately 2,051-square foot space, and is primarily proposed for a flexible, open space located at the front of the tenant space. Given the use, the Applicant has been in discussions with City staff regarding the installation of a second bathroom, a new catering kitchen, and storage area. The space would require some interior alterations to the layout as it was previously set up as a small market (Value Foods), which has since relocated and expanded elsewhere within the shopping center. Image 2. Existing Floor Plan with Proposed Additions. App. No. 2025-003 PC 05/08/2025 Page 4 The site plan identifies a maximum seated reception area for 80 attendees assuming ten 60-inch circular tables of 8 seats each, and exclusive of the bathroom, storage, and kitchen areas. The Applicant has met with City staff on numerous occasions to talk through potential interior layout modifications to address any ingress, egress, and emergency routing needs, as well as placement for kitchen coolers, and a revised bathroom layout. In recent years, City Staff has become increasingly aware of “multi-use” or “flex spaces” as a use. Oftentimes, these spaces are much smaller than a traditional wedding venue or conference center, and attractive to those looking to host informal and formal events alike. Websites like Peerspace (www.peerspace.com) provide unique, multi-use locations like these across the Twin Cities metro and nationwide for hourly venue rental locations, and based upon an individual’s or company needs. The UDO does not specifically address this type of use; however, given the flexibility in use, hours of operation, presence of a catering kitchen, and dedicated assembly/event space, etc. the request for a conditional use permit allows for it to be reviewed on a case- by-case basis. Image 3. Proposed Maximum Seating Arrangement. This path allows City staff to review the business’ operations, including hours of operation, targeted events, the location of the use and adjacent permitted uses, noise considerations, and traffic/peak parking demands to determine potential adverse impacts. Should any major concerns arise as part of the review process, the City may apply conditions as part of any approval. City staff, in discussions with the City Attorney, and following a review of the submitted documentation, determined that the closest applicable use would be that of a Banquet, Event, or Conference Facility. In terms of business operations and parking needs, City staff initially assumed a “Places of Public Assembly” calculation for parking, with additional parking for any staff identified by using the calculation for “Eating App. No. 2025-003 PC 05/08/2025 Page 5 and Drinking Places.” Section 35-5506 (Required Parking Spaces) specifies that a minimum of one (1) parking space for every three (3) seats/persons, and one (1) parking space for every two (2) staff at maximum shift would be required. This would require 30 parking spaces, which is inclusive of four (4) spaces needed for seven (7) staff. In consideration of the Subject Property location, the City’s UDO provides a calculation for multi-tenant retail centers, where no additional parking spaces beyond those allowed in the retail formula shall be required of restaurant uses, which altogether do not occupy more than 15% of the gross floor area of the center. The parking formula for Eating and Drinking establishments shall apply proportionately to the seats and employees occupying space in the center over and above 15% of the gross floor area. The approximately 40,000-square foot shopping center’s parking lot was approved with 280 parking spaces per Planning Commission Application No. 72032; however, there appear to be 268 on-site parking stalls as of today. Had the Humboldt Shopping Center been constructed today with no more than 15% gross floor area reserved for Eating and Drinking establishment usage, and under the current Unified Development Ordinance, the site would’ve required a maximum of 160 on-site parking spaces (120 less parking spaces than originally approved at). Assembly uses are oftentimes on the more intense end with respect to parking and traffic needs; however, as it stands today, the parking lot for the Humboldt Shopping Center is often empty during the daytime hours. In the last few months, City staff has been in communication with new businesses who have either 1) signed a lease, or 2) are potentially pursuing a lease at the shopping center. As New Horizon Academy plans to relocate in the coming months following their recent approval to relocate elsewhere in Brooklyn Center, it is hoped new energy will be brought to this area. As previously stated, the Applicant intends to have seven (7) dedicated staff, including the owner, warehouse manager, event planning consultant, marketing and sales executive, accountant, support staff, and an optional catering team or additional staff depending on the event. The Applicant plans to install an in-house catering kitchen; however, outside food may be permitted with prior approval. An on-site manager will be present during business hours and available during events. The Applicant projects between 8 and 12 events per month, with an increase in frequency during their peak seasons. All events are by reservation only and are typically 4 to 6 hours in length. The identified occupancy load for the space is 111 persons. While the provided interior seating layout provides accommodation for up to 80 seats, the business narrative indicates the event space will more typically host between 50 to 75 guests. The Applicant’s outlined hours of operation are as follows: o Monday to Thursday: 9:00 AM - 10:00 PM o Friday: 8:00 AM - 1:00 AM o Saturday: 8:00 AM - 2:00 AM o Sunday: 11:00 PM - 9:00 PM The Applicant indicates in their application no plans to serve alcohol; however, if alcohol is served, clients are required to hire a licensed and insured mobile bartender. Alcohol would only be permitted for adult- only events. The Applicant should work with the City’s Administration Department to identify any additional licensing needs. Noise mitigation and traffic flow are a consideration with City staff given the proximity of neighboring App. No. 2025-003 PC 05/08/2025 Page 6 residential uses, including a townhouse development located to the east of the shopping center, as well as multi-family housing on the north, west, and south sides. The Applicant desires to run a professional operation and be a responsible neighbor in the Humboldt Shopping Center by screening any planned events to ensure minimal disruption to the surrounding neighborhood. Although discussed earlier in the report, the Applicant’s business website provides the following reservation information form with typical events they provide services for: Security personnel would be employed for wedding events, and the Applicant intends to install cameras at the front and back of the facility to manage access points, oversee parking lot areas, and promptly respond to any issues. In reviewing the location, City staff requests the Applicant look at potential lighting upgrades; however, this would need to be coordinated with the Property Owner. 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 that 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: Oh Pretti! Events and Rentals LLC is committed to being a responsible and professional member of the Humboldt Shopping Center community. With a reservation-based model and thoughtful planning, the venue aims to enhance the area's offerings without disrupting the surrounding neighborhood. City Staff Response: As noted above, the Subject Property is located within the City’s Neighborhood App. No. 2025-003 PC 05/08/2025 Page 7 Mixed-Use 2 (MX-N2) District and is future guided as Neighborhood Mixed-Use (N-MU) under the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan. This zoning district and future land use designation are brand new to the City as of 2023 and 2019, respectively. The use, as proposed, is permitted within this district as a conditional use per Section 35-4103 (Allowed Use Table). The Neighborhood Mixed-Use Future Land Use Designation under the 2040 Comprehensive Plan is guided to allow for a mix of residential, retail, and commercial/office uses, and is intended to provide neighborhood scale retail, service, and commercial uses. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan expands the City’s previous vision for a City Center, to a “central spine” of the community, where the community can focus on creating a walkable, transit connected, and experience-based places that moves the City forward and offers new opportunities to existing and future residents. As part of that, there is this idea that the community will thrive with a more integrated land use pattern that includes areas like the Neighborhood Mixed-Use land use designation where the Subject Property is located. The 2040 Plan identifies several key nodes where neighborhood residents are better able to conveniently access local corner stores or restaurants to pick up dinner, and provide local services, restaurants, and retail opportunities in neighborhood locations. 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. City Staff Response: City Staff receive many requests for event facility venues, but these locations oftentimes require a generous amount of parking to be successful and minimize disturbances. Humboldt Shopping Center has an abundance of parking and based on the current users occupying the shopping center, City staff assumes the busiest events will be held in the off-hours for other users in the shopping center (e.g. weekend evenings). Oh Pretti! has outlined their intention to ensure any event activities remain on-site and has provided preemptive measures for the size of their events. If the Applicant or Property Owner proposes any exterior modifications, City staff requests they coordinate with the City. Although the space is leased, City staff would want to ensure there is sufficient on-site exterior site lighting, and general pedestrian improvements for the site. The Applicant will need to ensure adequate trash pick-up is arranged depending on the number of events taking place at the location. This is particularly important as there is a townhouse development to the east where the Subject Property and trash enclosures are located. City Staff asks that the Applicant remain mindful of accumulation of trash and debris both in the front and the rear of the establishment, and that, should the Applicant provide for their own trash enclosure, it meets City Code requirements with respect to screening. Further, City staff requests that any guests of the location keep doors closed unless entering or exiting the building to minimize any noise disturbances to the residential uses in proximity to the Subject Property. 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: The business will monitor noise levels, manage waste disposal professionally, and direct guests to use designated parking areas. Events will be scheduled to avoid peak traffic hours whenever possible, ensuring minimal impact on the surrounding community. App. No. 2025-003 PC 05/08/2025 Page 8 City Staff Response: The Subject Property is in a strip mall that has had several amusement centers proposed in its earlier years. Prior tenants such as Pizza Factory with an amusement center and Snacks N’ Nicks and Nacks which were both approved under a Special Use Permit process many years ago. At that time, the tenants provided games like air hockey, pocket billiards, and foosball and were approved to stay open as late as 12:30 A.M. in 1974. The location of this unit is adjacent to House of Hui’s, which is a Chinese take out restaurant and long- time staple of the shopping center. Although Scoreboard Pizza, which was located on the other side of the unit, recently closed, City staff have been communicating with potential operators of another restaurant establishment. Additionally, a lease was recently signed on the former Reserve space, which also provided flexible/multi-use rental space. That space was recently leased to a coffee and smoothie shop (LC Coffee Lounge) and is working through permitting. The former occupant of the Subject Property tenant space, Value Foods, relocated into the former Family Dollar space, and has been working towards opening a deli. Other businesses there today include a laundromat and beauty supply store. It is hoped that the combination of these users will bring vibrancy and investment back to the Humboldt Shopping Center and adjacent Humboldt Avenue North. 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. City Staff Response: There is currently a Capital Investment Program (CIP) project anticipated to begin in 2027 for the section of Humboldt Avenue North running adjacent to the Subject Property. At this time, the City is in its early stages of working through designs and alterations for pedestrian enhancements and roadway improvements. The City has also been in discussions of the owner of 1500 and 1510 69th Avenue North for a mixed-use redevelopment. Although there are potential opportunities for redevelopment along Humboldt Avenue North, it is not anticipated that the establishment of the conditional use will impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in this district. Given the age of the strip mall, it is hoped the Property Owner might be amenable to façade improvements and general capital investment (e.g. parking lot) assuming a lease up of tenant spaces in the near future. 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. Applicant Response: Our versatile event spaces can comfortably host 50-75 gatherings, ranging from intimate parties to small events. The occupancy limits are carefully managed to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for all guests. Depending on the specific requirements of each event, we can accommodate different layouts and seating arrangements to optimize the space and enhance the experience. City Staff Response: The Subject Property is a strip mall with approximately 268 on-site parking spaces. At this time, and given the vacancies within the shopping center, most customers utilize the front rows of parking immediately in front of the respective tenant spaces. The shopping center is served by two full access curb cuts, which are located at the northernmost and southernmost ends of the property, App. No. 2025-003 PC 05/08/2025 Page 9 and there is access for deliveries and garbage pick-up via a drive lane running along the east side of the shopping center. This drive lane provides egress directly to 69th Avenue North. City staff do not anticipate excessive amounts of traffic or traffic congestion in the city streets given the size of the overall tenant space and maximum seating arrangement (80 seats plus staff). Depending on the Applicant’s customer base, there may be the opportunity to generate business from neighboring residents and businesses that are within walking distance. Although it is assumed there will be increased parking and activity on-site, City staff does not necessarily see this as a bad thing as it may attract visitors to this corner of Brooklyn Center. The site is convenient to portions of Brooklyn Park, as well as major highways (i.e. TH 252, Interstates 94/694, TH 100). f. Impacts such as noise, hours of activity, and exterior lighting have been sufficiently addressed to mitigate negative impacts on nearby uses. Applicant Response: Understanding that noise can be a concern for nearby businesses and residents, we take several steps to mitigate this issue. We will look into using soundproof materials in our event spaces and set strict guidelines for acceptable noise levels. Additionally, we collaborate with DJs and other entertainment providers to ensure that their equipment and practices adhere to our noise control policies. City Staff Response: As previously stated, City Staff recommend additional lighting on the property, and to be considerate neighbors to reduce negative impacts. The Applicant should direct visitors to the main (west) doors and minimize use of the rear (east) door unless receiving deliveries, unloading equipment, or taking out trash. At all times, access shall be maintained and unobstructed for the drive aisle running to the east of the Subject Property. This is to ensure adequate emergency access and passage for other businesses and their vendors, garbage haulers, etc. Depending on the frequency of events, the Applicant may require enhanced garbage pickup. As it appears there are wall-packs installed along the east drive aisle, the Applicant and Property Owner should work with City staff to ensure wall packs are functional, and if not, replaced to meet current City Code requirements under Sectio 35-5400 (Exterior Lighting). Similarly, any lighting located in the soffit above the main doors shall be functional at all times. The Applicant shall keep noise and sound emissions confined to the Subject Property and be cognizant of the use on neighboring properties. The Applicant shall also adhere to the maximum occupancies outlined by City staff and ensure all event parking is handled on-site. Any expansion or alteration of the requested conditional use permit may be subject to the amendment process as outlined under Section 35-7706 (Amendments). g. The conditional use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. City Staff Response: City staff will continue to work with the Applicant pending approval of the requested conditional use permit to ensure compliance given the use and location of the use. As is the case with any other property in the City of Brooklyn Center, should any business operations, nuisance, or property complaints arise, the City would address these through the typical channels (e.g. code enforcement, police). App. No. 2025-003 PC 05/08/2025 Page 10 Building Official Review Building Official Dan Grinsteinner has been in communication with the Applicant and proposed alterations to the interior space at 6820 Humboldt Avenue North on numerous occasions.

Business Plan – Event Planning Services (Confidential) Pa g e 6 3.Industry Overview GLOBAL EVENT PLANNING INDUSTRY The global event planning industry is a thriving sector, integral to both the economy and cultural expression. In 2023, the global event management industry was valued at approximately $1,100 billion, with projections suggesting it could reach $2.5 trillion by 2035, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8% from 2024 to 2035 (Allied Market Research). This growth trajectory is influenced by multiple factors, including the rising demand for corporate events, an increase in disposable incomes, the global recovery from the pandemic, and the expansion of international tourism. One of the most notable shifts in recent years has been the digital transformation of the event industry. The rise of hybrid events, combining in-person and virtual elements, has opened new markets and broadened the reach of events globally. Moreover, the demand for sustainable and eco-friendly events has prompted an industry-wide focus on reducing carbon footprints, utilizing green technologies, and incorporating sustainable event practices (EventCube, 2024). The luxury segment of the events industry is expected to see significant growth. High- net-worth individuals are increasingly investing in bespoke, luxurious events, driving demand for personalized event planning services. Event planners who cater to this demographic are capitalizing on this trend by offering tailored services that prioritize uniqueness, exclusivity, and high-end experience (Market Research Future, 2024). U.S. EVENT PLANNING MARKET: KEY INSIGHTS AND TRENDS In the United States, the event planning industry is a crucial segment of the economy, contributing significantly to local and national economic activities. The U.S. event planning industry was valued at approximately $1.22 trillion in 2024, with projections suggesting it will grow to over $1.34 trillion by 2025, reflecting a healthy growth rate of 9.7% year-over-year (The Business Research Company). This growth is driven by increasing corporate spending, the resurgence of in-person events, and the rise of event technology. Corporate events, which include conferences, seminars, trade shows, and meetings, Business Plan – Event Planning Services (Confidential) Pa g e 7 account for a substantial share of the market. According to industry reports, nearly 60% of event budgets are allocated to corporate events, which continue to grow at a rapid pace. The increasing adoption of hybrid events is also fueling market expansion, as businesses seek to combine in-person networking with the accessibility of digital platforms (IBISWorld, 2024). Corporate event planners are investing in technology to streamline event logistics, provide real-time engagement, and enhance attendee experiences (Future Market Insights, 2024). MINNESOTA MARKET: LOCAL TRENDS AND DYNAMICS Minnesota’s event planning market is a growing subset of the broader U.S. industry. In 2024, the trade show and conference planning market in Minnesota alone is expected to reach approximately $291.6 million by 2025, with a steady growth rate expected over the next few years (IBISWorld). Additionally, visitor spending in Minnesota saw a significant uptick in 2023, with a record $14.1 billion in tourism spending, marking a 7.8% increase over pre-pandemic levels (Minnesota Department of Tourism, 2024). As Minnesota is home to numerous large companies, corporations, and educational institutions, the demand for both corporate and academic events is considerable. The local event industry also benefits from a growing interest in cultural and social events, including arts festivals, concerts, and community gatherings. This growing interest in diverse event types creates ample opportunities for event planners to expand their services and reach a broader demographic (Minnesota Business Magazine, 2024). KEY DRIVERS OF MARKET GROWTH Several key factors are driving the expansion of the event planning industry, both globally and in the U.S. These include: 1.Increased Corporate Spending: Businesses are increasingly investing in events to engage clients, customers, and employees. Corporate events such as product launches, conferences, and trade shows are a significant revenue driver for the industry, and the trend is expected to continue growing, especially as businesses continue to recover from the pandemic and seek opportunities for networking and brand building (G2, 2024). 2.Technological Integration: The integration of technology in event planning Business Plan – Event Planning Services (Confidential) Pa g e 8 has revolutionized the industry. The adoption of event management software, mobile apps, virtual platforms, and AI-powered event solutions has streamlined processes, enhanced attendee engagement, and expanded event reach (EventMB, 2024). Virtual and hybrid events are projected to continue growing, allowing companies to host global audiences and reduce event costs. 3. Demand for Personalized Experiences: Consumers’ increasing desire for personalized experiences is leading to greater demand for bespoke event planning services. From weddings to corporate events, clients are seeking unique and tailored experiences that reflect their personal or brand values. This trend is particularly prevalent among high-net-worth individuals and luxury brands, driving demand for high-end, exclusive event services (The Luxury Hospitality Group, 2024). 4. Sustainability in Events: There is a growing focus on sustainable events. As environmental concerns rise, more companies and individuals are opting for eco-friendly event solutions. The use of sustainable materials, waste reduction strategies, and carbon offset initiatives is becoming a key focus for event planners (Sustainability in Event Planning, 2024). MARKET CHALLENGES AND RISKS While the event planning industry continues to thrive, there are certain challenges and risks that planners must navigate: • Economic Uncertainty: While the industry has shown strong growth, economic downturns or recessions can lead to reduced spending on non- essential activities such as corporate events and luxury parties. During such periods, planners may face reduced budgets and client cancellations (IBISWorld, 2024). • Rising Competition: With the industry’s growth comes increased competition. Event planning businesses are vying for the same clients, which can lead to price wars and pressure to constantly innovate. Differentiation and offering unique services are critical to sustaining a competitive advantage (G2, 2024). • Post-Pandemic Adjustments: The post-pandemic era has reshaped the event Business Plan – Event Planning Services (Confidential) Pa g e 9 industry, with a shift toward hybrid events. While this offers growth opportunities, it also requires significant investment in technology and infrastructure to support virtual and hybrid components (EventMB, 2024). FUTURE OUTLOOK Looking forward, the event planning and management industry is expected to continue its trajectory of growth. The hybridization of events, increased corporate spending, and the demand for personalized, luxury experiences will drive future expansion. Event planners who embrace technology, sustainability, and a customer- centric approach will be well-positioned to succeed in this dynamic market.

Businesses often have A/V and public relations needs in concert with their events which may serve a marketing function for the business. Whether entertaining the press, clients, or board members, businesses require professional execution, between the event managers and their business’s objectives for the event. The private market includes households with a combined household income of over $80,000 per year (those most likely to throw an upscale event in a rented venue). This group puts a great deal of pressure on event planners and requires added attention, as lavish events may be uncommon for them. They require hands-on work and planning as well as expert advice and referrals throughout the process. The non-profit market is defined as non-profit organizations which hold at least one off-site event each year. Very price conscious, the non-profit market looks for in-kind donations and discounted services whenever possible. Some non-profits realize the benefit of paying for great events which lead, in kind, to improved perception of the organization and donations, while others will take the lowest price available at the minimal quality level acceptable.

By integrating technology into our services, we can offer innovative solutions that cater to the growing demand for digital and hybrid events. Threats 1. Intense Competition The event planning industry is highly competitive, with numerous established players in the market.

Keeping up with the latest trends, technology, and design elements requires continuous innovation and investment. Failure to adapt to changing client preferences may result in a loss of business to more agile competitors. 4.

Phase II Brooklyn Boulevard Project Goals. Image 3. Realigned Admiral Lane with Subject Property Parcels (May 2025). The parcels located along the realigned portion of Admiral Lane were created as a result of the Brooklyn Boulevard Phase II project and are considered “unbuildable.” This realignment was determined as part of the modernization efforts for Brooklyn Boulevard, which is a County Road. Development over the past 50 or so years had ultimately created a corridor that did not function as well as it should, with numerous driveways and access points creating safety and operational concerns, limitations to potential redevelopment (which, at the time were also hampered by an antiquated zoning code), substandard trail and sidewalk connections for pedestrians and bicyclists, and transit facilities that had not been integrated into the overall road framework. In 2013, the City of Brooklyn Center, in cooperation with Hennepin County, Three Rivers Park District, MnDOT, and Metro Transit, performed a corridor study along Brooklyn Boulevard (County Road 152) App. No. 2025-004 PC 05/08/2025 Page 4 from Interstate 94 to 49th Avenue. With project goals aimed at enhancing traffic operations, and improving roadway safety (through reduced access points and enhanced pedestrian and bicycle facilities), it was determined that Admiral Lane should be realigned to create a common intersection with 60th Avenue North. As the Subject Property, as it exists today, has no viable development potential, the City and EDA have no long-term use. The preliminary and final plat for what would be known as the ADMIRAL LANE ADDITION would take these three (3) existing parcels of land and create three (3) outlots, new right-of- way, and dedicated easements. The City has been in discussion with the property owners immediately adjacent to each of the proposed outlots about their interest in potentially acquiring these remnant parcels; however, no final determination has been made at this time, and separate City and EDA approvals would be required in order to convey any property. Currently, the City of Brooklyn Center Public Works Department mows both 6000 Ewing Avenue North and 6001 Brooklyn Boulevard. While the mowing itself is a relatively easy job with an industrial riding mower, the total weekly effort during the summer months, including deployment time (travel unloading, and equipment setup), takes an estimated 16-21 minutes each time. Over the course of a standard 22-week mowing season, this results in approximately 6-8 hours of dedicated City staff time to maintain what are effectively unbuildable parcels. A transfer in ownership would eliminate this ongoing task and improve operational efficiency. In the case of 6001 Brooklyn Boulevard, which is adjacent to Cross of Glory Lutheran Church, this portion of land contains the former alignment of Admiral Lane as well as City sanitary and storm sewer infrastructure. The City intends on retaining an easement over these areas to ensure continued access for inspection, maintenance, and any future repairs, and preserve essential utility functions even if ownership is eventually transferred. Address Zoning District Remaining Lot Size Constraints to Development 6000 Ewing Avenue N R1 (Low Density Residential) As part of Proposed Outlot B: 6,134 SF Does not meet lot size minimums for an R1 District property as portion of property to be dedicated as new Admiral Lane right-of-way. 6007 Brooklyn Blvd MX-N1 (Neighborhood Mixed-Use 1) As part of Proposed Outlot C: 4,265 SF No minimum lot size requirement for MX-N1 District; however, portion of property to be dedicated as new Admiral Lane right-of-way and residual lot provides relocated curb cut access for adjacent 6013 Brooklyn Boulevard to the north. 6001 Brooklyn Blvd MX-N1 (Neighborhood Mixed-Use 1) As part of Proposed Outlot A: 18,681 SF No minimum lot size requirement for MX-N1 District; however, vacated portion of Admiral Lane located in area, as well as underground utility infrastructure, which limits ability to redevelop. App. No. 2025-004 PC 05/08/2025 Page 5 City of Brooklyn Center Community Development and Engineering staff, and the City Attorney conducted an initial review of the provided preliminary and final plats for ADMIRAL LANE ADDITION and provided feedback. The Applicant’s consultant, SRF Consulting Group, Inc., provided revised plats based on requested revisions and feedback. The provided preliminary and plat, dated May 7, 2025, represents that last revised sets for City review—refer to Exhibit A. The plat identifies proposed 5-foot easements for adjoining lot lines and 10-foot easements along public ways, unless otherwise indicated. In addition, the plat clearly specifies plans to dedicate the proposed new Admiral Lane right-of-way and Drainage and Utility easements via the ADMIRAL LANE ADDITION plat. Additional requests, including the provision of legal descriptions, lot areas, and right-of-way dedication areas have been included per City staff request.
