PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2010 -04
RESOLUTION REGARDING THE RECOMENDED DISPOSITION OF
PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2010 -007 SUBMITTED BY
VANGUARD CONSTRUCTION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOT 2,
BLOCK 1, JOHNCO ADDITION.
WHEREAS, City Council Resolution No. 2002 -75 adopted on June 10 2002,
approved a rezoning from C -2 (Commerce) and R -1 (One Family Residence) to PUD /C -2 of a 5.6
acre site located at the northeast quadrant of 69th Avenue North and Brooklyn Boulevard; and
WHEREAS, that Planned Unit Development (PUD) proposal also included
development plan approval for a 34,228 sq. ft., four building mixed use commercial /retail
development including conceptual approval of a Super America gas station/convenience store /car
wash on the above mentioned site. Said development approval required additional plans be
submitted for Planning Commission and City Council review and approval of the Super America
development; and
WHEREAS, City Council Resolution No. 2002 -111, adopted on August 26, 2002,
accepted the Planning Commission's recommendation on a PUD amendment to allow construction
of a revised layout providing for a 3,958 sq. ft. Super America convenience store /gas station/car
wash on Lot 1, Block 1, Johnco Addition; and
WHEREAS, Vanguard Construction has made application for site and building
plan approval for the development of Lot 2, Block 1, Johneo Addition providing for a five bay
multi — tenant commercial building having a floor area of 6,757; and
WHEREAS, the proposed development increases the total commercial sq. ft. of this
PUD by 7.4 percent which requires the processing of a major plan amendment to the approved
PUD; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly called public hearing on April
29, 2010, 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. 2010 -007
submitted by Vanguard Construction for the development of Lot 2, Block 1, Johnco Addition, be
approved in light of the following considerations:
1. The Planned Unit Development amendment, providing for the re- orientation and
enlargement of the building from 4,230 sq. ft. to 6,757 sq. ft. is generally consistent
with the multi- tenant commercial/retail planned use for this lot, 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.
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 10 ft. green/parking strip
from interior property lines. This modification from the C -2 standards is justified
on the basis of the development being an appropriate redevelopment of this area
and that it is off set or mitigated by factors contained in the approved site plans and
City Council Resolution No. 2002 -75.
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 amendment is complimentary to the existing commercial buildings, will cause
the completion of this redevelopment project, and result in a finished project that is
corner stone within the Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor and an asset to the
community at large.
6. In light of 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 that the proposal is, therefore, in the best interest of the community.
Be it further resolved by the Planning Advisory Commission of the City of
Brooklyn Center to recommend to the City Council that Application No. 2010 -007 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 of permits.
3. A site performance agreement and supporting financial guarantee in an
amount to be determined based on cost estimates shall be submitted prior to
the issuance of permits to assure completion of all site improvements.
4. B -612 curb and gutter shall be provided around all parking and driving
areas.
5. Any outside trash disposal facilities and roof top or on ground mechanical
equipment shall be appropriately screened from view.
6. The building is to be equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system
to meet NFPA standards and shall be connected to a central monitoring
device in accordance with Chapter 5 of the City Ordinances.
7. Underground irrigation shall be installed in all landscaped areas to facilitate
site maintenance.
8. Plan approval is exclusive of all signery which is subject to Chapter 34 of
the City Ordinances.
9. An as built survey of the property, improvements and utility service lines
shall be submitted to the City Engineer prior to release of the performance
guarantee.
10. The plans shall be modified as recommended by the City Engineer to
relocate the northern driveway and include vehicular turning movements to
assure the proper functioning of the drive thru lane.
11. The applicant shall enter into a PUD agreement with the City of Brooklyn
Center to be reviewed and approved by the City Attorney prior to the
