NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center that Application No. 2008-003 submitted by the Luther Company LLLP be approved based upon the following considerations: 1. The Planned Unit Development is compatible with the standards, purposes and intent of the Planned Unit Development section of the City's Zoning Ordinance. RESOLUTION NO. 2008-80 2. The Planned Unit Development proposal will allow for the utilization of the land in question in a manner which is compatible with, complimentary to and of comparable intensity to adjacent land uses as well as those permitted on surrounding land. 3. The utilization of the property as proposed under the Planned Unit Development Rezoning is considered a reasonable use of the property and will conform with ordinance standards except for allowing a waiver of the 40 ft. rear yard setback requirement for 430168' Avenue North and to allow green strip encroachments for parking along I-94 and display pads with pergolas or railings along Brooklyn Boulevard, 68th Avenue and I-94 and to allow the three properties under different ownership to be utilized as a single parcel of land without the benefit of replatting the property into a single lot. These modifications from the Zoning Ordinance standards are justified on the basis of the development being an appropriate redevelopment of this area and that they are offset or mitigated by various factors contained in the approved development plan. 4. The Planned Unit Development proposal is considered consistent with the recommendations of the City's Comprehensive Plan for this area of the city. 5. The Planned Unit Development proposal appears to be a good long range use of the existing land and this redevelopment can be considered an asset to the community. 6. Based upon the above considerations, it is believed that the guidelines for evaluating rezonings as contained in Section 35-208 of the City's Zoning Ordinance are met and the proposal is, therefore, in the best interest of the community.
