Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 2004 -006
Applicant: Steve Lewis (Hertz)
Location: 6201 Brooklyn Blvd
Request: Special Use Permit
The applicant, Mr. Steve Lewis on behalf of Hertz Local Edition, is seeking a Special Use Permit
to operate an automobile rental and leasing operation including the out of door storage of
vehicles. His proposal involves the use of a portion of the building addressed 6201 Brooklyn
Boulevard, which also houses the Bridgeman's Restaurant. Vehicles would be allowed to be
stored on the site because surplus parking exists.
The property in question is zoned C -2 (Commerce) and is located at the northwest corner of
Brooklyn Boulevard and 62 Avenue North. It is bounded on the north by, and has cross access
with, a shopping center complex containing among other things an Asian market, a check
cashing operation and Enterprise Rent a Car; on the east by Brooklyn Boulevard with single
family homes on the opposite side of the street; on the south by 62 Avenue North with the
Brookdale Chrysler dealership on the opposite side of the street; and on the west by Ewing
Avenue with R -4 zoned property containing the Ewing Square Townhomes on the opposite side
of the street. Automobile rental and leasing operations are listed as special uses in the C -2
zoning district per Section 35 -322, Subdivision 3o.
The applicant has entered into negotiations with the owner of the Bridgeman's Restaurant to
lease 1,650 sq. ft. of the building to be configured as a rental office (1,200 sq. ft.) with a vehicle
wash bay (450 sq. ft.). The owner of the building has recently downsized the restaurant to a 29
seat/four employee facility. The owner also occupies 840 sq. ft. of the total 4,200 sq. ft. building
for general office purposes. Hertz plans to install an overhead door at the northwest corner of the
building (west elevation) in order to access the proposed vehicle wash bay. The applicant has
indicated this wash bay would be only for washing and vacuuming their vehicles. It would not
be used by the general public and they would do no servicing of vehicles at this location. The
intended space would have to be modified to accommodate their intended use through a building
permit. They would have to meet building code requirements for having vehicles within the
building and accessible restrooms. A floor plan is attached showing the proposed configuration.
The applicant has also provided a recent aerial photo of the site with dimensions on it as a
preliminary site plan. The site is 54,815 sq. ft. (1.258 acres) and contains 92 parking spaces. At
one time this was a drive in restaurant with carhops and a canopy extending out over a portion of
the rear parking area. This has not been utilized as such for a number of years but now serves as
a covered parking area for the building.
3 -25 -04
Page 1
The parking requirement for the building based on its current and proposed occupancy would •
require 17 spaces for the restaurant (one space for every two seats and employees), four spaces
for the general office (one space for 200 sq. ft. of gross floor area), and eight spaces for the Hertz
operation (one space per 200 sq. ft. of gross floor area) for a total of 29 parking spaces. Even if
the entire space were converted to a retail use, only 23 parking spaces would be required for this
building. Currently there is a storage shed in the rear parking lot along the north property line
that eliminates at least two parking stalls and at least two stalls, possibly three, will be eliminated
to accommodate the overhead door proposed for the Hertz wash bay. This will leave at least 87
parking spaces on the site.
Hertz has indicated a need for storing a maximum of 20 vehicles on the site. With auto leasing
operations having on site storage of vehicles, we have required that they have surplus parking
spaces (more than the minimum required by the zoning ordinance for a particular use) in order to
accommodate their inventory needs. The excess amount of parking on this site will more than
accommodate parking for the 20 vehicles anticipated in this proposal.
With special use permit requests such as this, the opportunity is taken to gain compliance with
zoning ordinance requirements for developments. We have provided the applicant with the
Landscape Point System and requested he provide us with a plan to meet this standard. This
1.258 acre site is required to have 101 landscape points. There is very little in the way of trees
and shrubs on this site. We are awaiting the landscape submittal. Also, there are currently
unscreened dumpsters in the area where the overhead doors are proposed. A trash enclosure is
also recommended as part of the approval of this special use permit.
Attached for the Commission's review is a section of 35 -220, Subdivision 2, of the City
Ordinances containing the standards for special use permits. The applicant has submitted written
comments regarding these standards and has offered various comments as to how they believe
their proposal meets these standards for special use permits. They note that their proposed
automobile rental agency will provide a community service and the site can accommodate their
proposed use. They note that the facility was formerly a drive in restaurant providing a carhop
parking area that no longer exists. They point out that the former restaurant has been downsized
making available the 1,650 sq. ft. for lease to Hertz. The note that the proposed use will have no
impact on surrounding commercial properties and that their proposed use is consistent with other
uses in the immediate area. They list how they believe they will conform with applicable
regulations noting that they will not park vehicles in the public right of way, nor will they sell
vehicles at the location, they will perform no vehicle repairs on the site and that inoperable
vehicles will not be stored on the site.
In general we find no conflict between the applicant's proposal and the standards for special use
permits provided landscaping and a trash enclosure are provided. It should be noted that
Enterprise Rent A Car has an operation in the neighboring shopping center and has posed no
known problems with respect to its operation. It does not appear that the proposed Hertz
operation will have a detrimental affect on the general public welfare or be injurious to
3 -25 -04
Page 2
surrounding property nor will it impede the normal and orderly development or redevelopment of
. surrounding property in the area. We believe that adequate measures have been taken to provide
necessary on site parking and the applicant will be required to meet all necessary building code
regulations with respect to tenant improvements and the construction of the overhead door.
An area that needs to be commented on involves the potential sales and display of vehicles. As
noted in the written comments from the applicant, they have no intention to display and sell their
vehicles on site. The special use permit under consideration is for rental and leasing operations
only with incidental storage and the cleaning of vehicles allowed. Vehicles should not be
displayed with banners, pennants, streamers, balloons or other attention attracting devices other
than what may be allowed through the issuance of administrative permits (limited to two such
permits per calendar year, not to exceed ten consecutive days in duration. Regular sale of
vehicles is also not a part of the acknowledged special use permit.
A public hearing has been scheduled and notices have been sent to surrounding property owners.
RF.COMMF.N )ATION
It appears that this application is in order provided the recommended conditions can be met.
Approval is, therefore, recommended subject to at least the following:
1. The Special Use Permit is granted for an automobile rental and leasing operation
with incidental outdoor storage of vehicles and a washing and vacuuming service
• bay only. Any change in the use of the operation not comprehended by this
application or permitted under the zoning ordinance will require approval of an
amendment to this special use permit.
2. Building plans for tenant remodeling and an overhead door shall be reviewed and
approval by the Building Official prior to the issuance of building permits.
3. There shall be no service, repair or maintenance of leased of stored vehicles on the
site other than the washing and vacuuming of vehicles comprehended under the
approval of this Special Use Permit.
4. No banners, pennants, streamers, balloons or other attention attracting devices
may be used in conjunction with the storage and display of vehicles on this site
other than that which is authorized under administrative permits.
5. The site shall be provided with 101 landscape points consistent with the city's
Landscape Point System. A landscape plan indicating such compliance shall be
submitted prior to the issuance of the Special Use Permit for this auto rental and
leasing operation.

appropriate opaque materials. An appropriate plan shall be submitted prior to the
issuance of the Special Use Permit for this auto rental and leasing operation.
7. A site performance agreement and a supporting financial guarantee (based on cost
estimates) shall be submitted prior to the issuance of the Special Use Permit to
assure the completion of the required site improvements.
8. The Special Use Permit is subject to all applicable codes, ordinances and
regulations. Any violation thereof may be grounds for revocation.

Special Use Permit - Section 35 -220
2. Standards for Special Use Permits
A Special Use Permit may be granted by the City Council after demonstration by evidence that
all of the following are met:
a. The establishment, maintenance or operation of the special use will promote and enhance
the general public welfare and will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety,
morals or comfort.
The proposed use as an automobile rental agency will provide a community
service, particularly given the proximity to both the Crystal Airport and a large
number of automobile service and repair businesses in the area. The vehicle
services provided by Hertz are directed toward the insurance replacement market,
corporate accounts in Brooklyn Center and leisure travel customers.
The site can accommodate the proposed use. The site is designed as a drive-
in/dine -in restaurant with large "car -hop" parking area in rear (west side) of the
building. (The restaurant no longer provides "car -hop" service to its customers.)
Additionally, the original 4,200 square foot restaurant has downsized making
approximately 1,650 square feet available for lease to Hertz
b. The special 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
The proposed use will have no impact on the surrounding commercial properties.

improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district.
The proposed use will not have undue adverse impacts on governmental facilities,
utilities, services, or existing or proposed improvements
d. 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.
The size and design of the site can accommodate the proposed use. The site has
five (5) different ingress /egress points. The intersection of Brooklyn Blvd. and
62 °a Avenue North is a controlled intersection with left turn lanes. Primary
access to the site does not pass by any residential properties. The site contains
approximately 92 parking spaces yielding a parking ratio of approximately 20
parking spaces per 1000 square feet of building (20 cars /1000 S.F.).
e. The special use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the
district in which it is located
1) The proposed use is in compliance with the permitted uses of the C -2
zoning district in which it is located;
2) The applicant will not park vehicles in the public right -of -way;
3) The applicant will not sell vehicles at the location: rental only;
4) The applicant will perform no vehicle repairs at the site;
5) Vehicle cleaning (washing and vacuuming) will be conducted in a fully
enclosed wash -bay constructed within the building with access from the
rear of the building. The wash bay will be private and for Hertz vehicles
only and not a public car wash;
6) Inoperable vehicles will not be stored at the site;
7) Principle use will be for pick -up and drop -off of vehicles;
8) The applicant will agree to abide by a reasonable stipulation as to the
number of vehicles allowed on the site

i MEMORANDUM
TO: Michael McCauley, City Manager
FROM: Brad Hoffinan, Community Development Director
DATE: September 17, 2003
SUBJECT: Moratorium/Emergency Ordinance
The Council will have before them a first reading of an emergency ordinance that would
create a moratorium on the development or placement of new religious buildings within the City.
The moratorium would be for a sixty (60) days. A regular ordinance would follow creating a six
(6) month study period. Currently, churches are allowed as a special use in R1, R2, R5 and I1
zones. Churches are a permitted use in C 1 and C2 zones.
Of particular concern is the availability of commercial space that can potentially be
converted to churches. Recently, the Salvation Army building was converted to a church. Staff
• has received inquiries relative to the sale and conversion of the State Farm building to a church
as well as another site in the Metro Councils Opportunity Site. A number of buildings within the
opportunity site are or will be available to such conversion. While Brooklyn Center has
considered the placement of churches in the past, the potential for such conversions in the
opportunity site could have a profound impact upon the City's ability to redevelop that area.
A moratorium would permit the City to consider the impact such development will have
as well as the appropriateness of different zonings for church development. The City Attorney
will have a prepared draft of an ordinance for Council consideration. Assuming the Council
adopts the moratorium, the matter would be referred to the Planning Commission for study and
recommendations. I will be available Monday evening to answer questions on this matter.
