CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
ORDINANCE NO. 93 11
INTERIM EMERGENCY ORDINANCE FOR THE PURPOSE OF
PROTECTING THE PLANNING PROCESS AND THE
HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE RESIDENTS OF
THE CITY, AND REGULATING AND RESTRICTING
DEVELOPMENT ON ALL LAND SOUTH OF 66TH AVENUE
AND NORTH OF I -694 LYING BETWEEN WILLOW LANE
AND HIGHWAY 252.
Section 1. Background.
1.01. In connection with the consideration of an application for rezoning and
permits for development of a portion of the property affected by this
ordinance, City staff, consultants, Planning Commission, the Northeast
Neighborhood Advisory Group and the City Council reviewed the
existing and potential development in the area. As a result of that
review process, the Council determined that the current land use
controls did not adequately address various land use concerns in the
area. Among these concerns were inadequate or inappropriate
buffering of nearby residential uses, nonconforming uses, zoning
ordinances which were not consistent with the City's Comprehensive
Land Use Plan, insufficient or hazardous traffic circulation, changes
in land use and roadways which occurred since current zoning controls
were adopted, and adjacent or nearby land uses or potential uses which
were not compatible with permitted uses or special uses in the affected
area.
1.02. The Council determined that there was a need for further studies to be
conducted so that the City could adopt appropriate amendments to its
Comprehensive Plan and zoning code so as to ensure protection of the
public health, safety and welfare. The Council directed that such
studies be undertaken.
1.03. Studies and amendments to the City code which were considered in
connection with earlier reviews of the official controls applicable to the
affected area were not acted upon by the City Council.

BR291 -43
1.04. As a result of consideration of an application for a special use permit for
a filling station and car wash on a portion of the property affected by
this ordinance, the Council has determined that the current zoning of
the affected area is not, or may not be, appropriate or sufficient to
protect the public health, safety or welfare for a number of reasons
These reasons include, but are not limited to, the following:
a. The proposed use would have unacceptably adverse impacts on
surrounding uses because of 24 hour activity, noise, lights,
glare and traffic.
b. Such adverse impacts cannot be adequately mitigated by site
design or improvements.
c. Many of these adverse impacts would result from permitted uses
as well as special uses under current zoning.
1.05. A hearing has been scheduled for the purpose of considering
amendment of the Comprehensive Plan and zoning code.
1.06. The Council has therefore determined that there is a need for an interim
ordinance to be adopted for the purpose of protecting the planning
process and the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the City
and ensuring that the City and its citizens retain the benefits of, and
protection sought to be afforded by, the City's Comprehensive Plan and
zoning ordinances until such hearing is held, and any modifications to
the City's Comprehensive Plan and zoning and land use regulations are
effective.
1.07. Due to the pendency of an application for a special use permit for
proposed development in the area affected by this ordinance, the
Council has determined that adoption of an emergency ordinance is
necessary to serve the purposes described in paragraph 1.06 until an
interim ordinance can become effective.
Section 2. Determination.
2.01. This interim ordinance shall apply to all property south of 66th Avenue
and north of I -694 between Willow Lane and Highway 252 (the subject
area).
2.02. During the period this interim ordinance is in effect, no property within
the subject area may be developed, redeveloped, nor shall any site plan
approvals, rezonings, licenses (other than renewals) plattings or
replattings, land divisions or consolidations, special use permits or
building permits be issued by the City for any use.
2.03. This ordinance shall remain in effect until the sixty -first day following
its adoption, or such earlier date as may be adopted by the City
Council.
