NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, that Application No. 2011 -006 submitted by Todd Shaw, for Precision Machine, Inc 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. 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 the parking setback along James Avenue. These modifications from the I -1 standards are justified on the basis of the development being an appropriate renovation and industrial use for this area and that they are offset or RESOLUTION NO. 2011 -52 mitigated by the public safety improvements of the closure of the Freeway Boulevard access and installation of rain gardens in the remaining boulevard of James Ave. 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 development 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. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center that Application No. 2011 -006 be approved subject to the following conditions and considerations: 1. Execution of a PUD development agreement as prepared by the City Attorney. 2. Approval of a grading and planting plan for the rain gardens by the City Engineer. 3. Closure of the driveway entrance unto Freeway Boulevard and approval of a driveway permit for the James Avenue. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center that staff is directed to proceed with an ordinance amending Chapter 35 of the City's Zoning Ordinance Regarding the Zoning Classification of Certain Land Lot 1, Block 1, Interchange Addition, (1700 Freeway Boulevard).
