WHEREAS, City Council Resolution No. 99 -37 adopted on March 8, 1999, approved a rezoning from C -2 (Commerce) to PUD /C -2 of the Brookdale Regional Shopping Center which is bounded on the north by County Road 10, on the east and south by T. H. 100 and on the west by Xerxes Avenue North; and WHEREAS, City Council Resolution No. 2004 -72 adopted on May 24, 2004, approved a Planned Unit Development Amendment to allow construction of a 4,195 sq. ft. Dairy Queen Grill and Chill in the north parking lot of Brookdale Center; and WHEREAS, Planning Commission Application No. 2004 -009 consisting of another Planned Unit Development Amendment to allow a shifting in the location of the Dairy Queen Grill and Chill to be located in the north parking lot of Brookdale Center submitted by Fraunenshuh Companies: and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly called public hearing on July 15 2004, when a staff report and public testimony regarding the Planned Unit Development Amendment were received; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered the Planned Unit Development Amendment request in light of all testimony received, the guidelines for evaluating rezonings contained in Section 35 -208 of the City' s Zoning Ordinance, the provisions of the Planned Unit Development Ordinance contained in Section 35 -355 of the City' s Zoning Ordinance and the City' s Comprehensive Plan. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Advisory Commission of the City of Brooklyn Center to recommend to the City Council that Application No. 2004 -009 submitted by Frauenshuh Companies be approved in light of the following considerations: 1. The Planned Unit Development Amendment is compatible with the standards purposes and intent of the Planned Unit Development section of the City' s Zoning Ordinance. 2. The Planned Unit Development Amendment 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. 1 3. The utilization of the property as proposed under the Planned Unit Development Amendment is considered a reasonable use of the property and will conform with city ordinance standards except for allowing a less than 15 ft. green strip adjacent to County Road 10 /Northway Drive entrance to Brookdale. This modification from the C -2 standards is justified on the basis of the development plan being an appropriate redevelopment of this area and that it is offset or mitigated by factors contained in the approved site plan amendment and City Council Resolution No. 99 -37. 4. The Planned Unit Development Amendment is considered compatible with the recommendations of the City' s Comprehensive Plan for this area of the city. 5. The Planned Unit Development Amendment appears to be a good utilization of the property under consideration and the redevelopment and rejuvenation of the Brookdale Regional Mall are an important long range use for existing property and are considered to be an asset to the community. 6. In light of the above considerations, it is believed that the Guidelines for Evaluating Rezonings contained in Section 35 -208 of the City' s Zoning Ordinance are met and that the proposal is, therefore, in the best interest of the community. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center to recommend that Application No. 2004 -009 be approved subject to the following conditions and considerations: 1. The building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of permits. 2. Grading, drainage, utility and erosion control plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer prior to the issuance or permits. 3.

The agreement shall further assure compliance with the development plans submitted with this application. 11. The landscape /screening treatment provided in the area where a 5 ft. rather than 15 ft. green strip is proposed is appropriate to offset or mitigate the effects of the reduced green strip. 12.
