Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 2011 -007
Applicant: Jon Van Eyll, Wirth Companies
Location: 6850, 6860, 6870 Shingle Creek Pkwy, Palmer Lake Plaza Building
Request: Amendment to a Planned Unit Development and Master Special Use
Permit — to allow Educational Uses and Religious Uses /Churches within a
PUD /I -1 (Planned Unit Development/Industrial Park) Zoning District
INTRODUCTION
The applicant, Jon Van Eyll of Wirth Companies and on behalf of Palmer Lake Plaza, is
requesting a Planned Unit Development Amendment, along with a Master Special Use Permit to
allow for educational and religious uses within the office portion of said Palmer Lake Plaza
(Office /Service portions only), plus a child day care facility operated in conjunction with an
approved educational use. The subject property is located at 6850 -6870 Shingle Creek Parkway.
The applicant has provided the attached floor plans illustrating the proposed areas to be
dedicated for specific uses. At this time, only one educational space area is offering a fenced -in
play area to be used for a future child care facility.
A public hearing has been scheduled and notices of the Planning Commission's consideration
have been sent to surrounding property owners.
BACKGROUND
A review of the zoning history of this property indicates the following:
The Palmer Lake Plaza was constructed in 1978 as a mixed use multi -tenant facility consisting of
approximately 139,000 sq. ft. including the following:
52,000 sq. ft. office area
39,000 sq. ft. warehouse area
48,000 sq. ft. service center area
The project was initially developed with a main parking area consisting of 281 stalls on the west
side of the lot and 50 parking stalls on the east side for a total of 331 stalls.
In 1986, an amendment to the site plan was approved which replaced the front row of parking
stalls on the west side of the building with a landscaped berm to screen the service area of the
west side of the building. The plan reduced the parking to 307 improved stalls and involved a
restrictive covenant on the proof of parking plan.
03 -31 -11
Page 1
In 2003, the 11.14 acre Shingle Creek Plaza property, a vacant 2.36 acre lot adjoining to the
west, and excess vacated R.O.W. from 69 Avenue realignment were replatted in Wirth
Addition:
Lot 1, Block 1, 9.8 acre Palmer Lake Plaza (6850, 60, 70 Shingle Creek Pkwy)
Lot 2, Block 1, 4.18 acre Holiday Stationstores, Inc. (6890 Shingle Creek Pkwy)
On August 13, 2003, the Planning Commission approved Resolution No. 2003 -01 which
recommended approval of the rezoning of Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Wirth Addition from I -1
(Industrial Park) to PUD /I -1 (Planned Unit Development/Industrial Park). This recommendation
facilitated the development plans for a 43,761 sq. ft. Holiday Stationstore Commissary building
on Lot 2, Block 1, Wirth Addition and parking lot modifications (addition of 50 parking stalls) to
the Shingle Creek Plaza facility on Lot 1, Block 1, Wirth Addition.
On August 25, 2003, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2003 -124 accepting the Planning
Commission recommendations.
On January 14, 2010, the Planning Commission approved Planning Commission Application No.
2010 -001 which recommended approval of the request by Alleluia Sanctuary Church to occupy a
tenant space (Suite B 115 of Palmer Lake Plaza). This existing church space is noted on the
attached floor plans. Subsequent to that action, on January 25, 2010 the City Council approved
the Special Use Permit with conditions.
In the 2010 Special Use Permit application, the property management firm indicated to city
planning staff that a significant portion (over 80 percent) of the 48,000 sq. ft. office /service
center is being leased to non - industrial uses (Brown Institute and the Brooklyn Center Area
Learning Center). The consensus of property management was that there was sufficient/excess
parking on site and that the approved church was very compatible with the current and future use
of this portion of the building.
ZONING & SITE ISSUES
The subject property is zoned PUD /1 -1 (Planned Unit Development /Industrial Park). Under the
PUD classification, the regulations and standards governing the uses and structures shall be the
same as those established in the underlying zone, which in this case is 1 -1 Industrial Park. The
PUD further provides that these underlying regulations may be modified by conditions imposed
by the City Council; or in cases where it may be to the extent necessary to comply with the
development plan of the PUD. In essence, the PUD allows the city to provide "flexibility" in
allowing certain uses or standards as they become known or requested, as is the case of Mr.
Eyll /Wirth Companies.
One of the unique purposes of the PUD district is to give the City Council the needed flexibility
in addressing development and redevelopment issues. Regulations governing uses and structures
may be modified by conditions ultimately imposed by the City Council on the development
plans. The applicant is seeking the ability to provide for a number of certain uses that normally
03 -31 -11
Page 2
require individual special use permit consideration.
Any proposed educational (defined: "non residential educational uses including Area Learning
Centers (ALQ, post - secondary schools, business schools, trade schools, and the like — excluding
public /private school") and religious uses (defined: "places of religious assembly such as
chapels, churches, temples, mosques and synagogues ") are allowed by special use permit,
pursuant to Section 35 -330, Subdivision 3c, of the zoning ordinance. This section allows limited
commercial and service and office uses such as those proposed to be located in the I -1 zoning
district provided the use can meet the general standards for special use permits contained in
Section 35 -220 of the zoning ordinance and the special criteria outlined in Section 35 -330,
Subdivision 3e.
The applicant has submitted individual floor plans of those portions of the building identified as
Building A and Building B, respectively. These floor plans identify certain areas dedicated to
existing or future uses. The existing users are identified by name, their hours of operations and
numbers of employees. The applicant is further requesting an enclosed (fence) outdoor "play"
area to be used in conjunction with the operations of an educational use in Building B, which
appears to be identified as the Brooklyn Center Alternative Learning Center (BCALC).
Parking requirement ratios are broken down as follows:
City Code: Office /Service Buildings (20,000 — 200,000 sq. ft.): GFA/(.0005 x GFA) + 190
Warehouse area = One space /per two employees —or - GFA/800: PLP
Plaza Lake Park: Office /Service Area= 100,000 sq. ft. GFA / (50) + 190 = 416 spaces
Warehouse = 39,000 sq. ft. / 800 = 49 spaces
Combining these numbers equates to approximately 465 spaces needed to serve this site. In
personal review of the submitted plans, it appears the subject site only has 324 spaces dedicated
to this site. Staff assumes that when the subject site was split into two separate parcels and
rezoned to PUD /1 -1 in 2003, that the City Council accepted the reduced parking spaces as part of
the overall PUD plan of the site, and acknowledged the "flexibility" in reduced parking needs
due to the mixture of uses inside the building.
The applicant has done a nice job identifying the users, their space allotments and hours of
operation. It is important to note that although the church users may have large numbers of
attendees, their operations are limited to only weekend hours, and do not overlap the existing
educational uses or miscellaneous office users regular weekday hours. In determining the three
church users parking needs plus their employees equals 141 spaces. Factoring out these 141
spaces (religious uses only) during regular, weekday business hours results in a need of 325
spaces for all remaining educational and office users. Theoretically, the site meets the overall
and mixed -use parking needs for the existing and proposed users. Staff is unaware of any
parking issues or complaints as a result of this parking ratio.
03 -31 -11
Page 3
The applicant also provided for staff review a plan illustrating two separate fenced -in play areas
located near the southwest corner of Building B (assumed to be part of BCALC). City staff is
not supporting the southerly play area located along the frontage with Shingle Creek Parkway.
We are more supportive of the play area located inside the building inset. The applicant will
need to provide additional information on the fencing type/height, playground equipment (if any)
to be provided and access in and out of the area.
COMPLIANCE FOR STANDARDS FOR SPECIAL USE PERMITS
Attached are the responses to the five questions which must be satisfied to consider the issuance
of a Special Use Permit (Section 35 -220, Subdivision 2)
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.
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.
c. The establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly
development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the
district.
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.
e. The special use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the
district in which it is located.
Additionally, these responses address the following questions within Section 35 -330,
Subdivision 3e, which are required to be satisfied.
1. Compatible with existing adjacent land uses as well as with those uses permitted in the
I -1 district generally.
2. Complementary to existing adjacent land uses as well as to those uses permitted in the
I -1 district generally.
3. Of comparable intensity to permitted I -1 district land uses with respect to activity
levels.
4. Planned and designed to assure that generated traffic will be within the capacity of
available public facilities and will not have an adverse impact upon the industrial park
or the community.

STAFF COMMENT
It should be noted that there is no such "master special use permit" defined or identified under
the contents of our city code and /or zoning ordinance. The creation of this master special use
permit is unique to this site and reflects city staff's understanding and recognizing all identified
educational and religious users inside the building site, including attendee and employee
numbers, and hours of operations. This Master Special Use Permit further acknowledges city
staff's willingness and cooperative effort by allowing the property owners to personally manage
the site, and allow certain educational and religious uses on their own, without the need of
applying for individual special use permits should the need arise in the future.
According to our city attorney, the creation of this master special use permit is allowed under the
guise of this Amendment to the Planned Unit Development, which allows cities to provide
flexibility in sustaining or approving specific uses or conditions that the underlying zoning
district (or City Code) may not allow or normally permit. The PUD Amendment is not akin to a
variance, which requires specific (statutory) conditions to be met and moreover, a demonstrated
or proven hardship. The PUD amendment is further strengthened by meeting the conditions
established under the special use permit requirements, as noted above.
City planning staff feels the basic tenets of the special use standards noted above have been or
will be met by these specified uses within the subject property. We find no reasons to deny this
special use permit based on any newly discovered or perceived findings at this point.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the opinion of staff that the site may be approved for a Planned Unit Development
Amendment (PUD /1 -1 Zone remains unchanged), and that standards for allowing a master
special use permit and the special criteria for allowing certain non - industrial uses in the 1 -1
zoning district have been satisfactorily addressed. It is recommended that the application be
approved subject to the following conditions:
1. The master special use permit is issued to the subject site, which acknowledges the three
existing places of religious assembly and associated uses at this location. If other
religious uses apply to occupy this site, the Applicant/Owners may allow by means of
this master special use permit, subject to meeting parking requirements.
2. The master special use permit is issued to the subject site, which acknowledges the three
educational spaces and associated uses at this location. If other educational uses apply to
occupy this site, the Applicant/Owners may allow by means of this master special use
permit, subject to meeting parking requirements.
3. The child care center and the 33' x 47' outdoor - enclosed play area is allowed in
conjunction with an approved educational use subject to receiving State of Minnesota
licenses and inspection of said premises. No other play area or child care uses not
identified by this application shall be permitted as part of this special use permit. Any
03 -31 -11
Page 5
expansion or major alteration to the site to accommodate this child care use shall be
subject to an amendment to this special use permit.
4. The Applicant will need to submit to city staff specifications on the outdoor child care
play area, including fencing type and height, playground equipment (if any) and access
points. The final location of this area may be subject to building and/or fire code
regulations.
5. This special use permit is subject to all applicable codes, ordinances and regulations.
Any violation, thereof, may be grounds for revocation.
6. Tenant improvement plans are subject to review and approval by the Building Official
with respect to applicable codes through the building permit process.
7. Special use approval is exclusive of all signery which is subject to the provisions of
Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances.
8. If necessary, the Applicants will execute a PUD Amendment development agreement
with the City of Brooklyn Center, as prepared by the City Attorney, which agreement
shall memorialize the conditions noted herein and other conditions as recommended by
the Planning Commission and adopted by the City Council.

PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2011 -05
RESOLUTION REGARDING THE RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION OF
PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2011-007 SUBMITTED BY
JON VAN EYLL OF WIRTH COMPANIES AND ON BEHALF OF PALMER
LAKE PLAZA
WHEREAS, Planning Commission Application No. 2011 -007 submitted by Jon
Van Eyll with Wirth Companies proposes a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment to an
existing PUD /1 -1 (Planned Unit Development/Industrial Park) district, along with Special Use
Permit approval for Palmer Lake Plaza, located at 6850- 6860 -6870 Shingle Creek Parkway; and
WHEREAS, the proposal comprehends the amendment to the original PUD/I -1
zone to allow the creation of an "master" special use permit allowing the applicant/owners to
provide educational and religious uses /churches in the above - referenced property, along with a
child daycare operation in conjunction with an educational use; and
WHEREAS, the master special use permit provides the flexibility and opportunity
to the owners of said Palmer Lake Plaza facility, by allowing certain educational and religious uses
within this PUD /I -1 district without the need for separate special use permit considerations for each
existing or future use, provided that certain site conditions, such as parking and building safety
code conditions are all met; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly called public hearing on March
31, 2011 when a staff report and public testimony regarding the rezoning and development plan
were received; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered the Planned Unit Development
Amendment and Special Use Permit request in light of all testimony received, the guidelines and
standards for evaluating this amendment and special use permit provided the use can meet the
general standards for special use permits contained in Section 35 -220 and the special criteria
outlined in Section 35 -330, Subdivision 3e. of the City's Zoning Ordinance and complies with the
goals and objectives of the City's 2030 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. 2011 -007
submitted by Jon Van Eyll with Wirth Companies be approved based upon 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.
1
2. The Planned Unit Development Amendment 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
Amendment is considered a reasonable use of the property and will conform with
underlying I -1 Zone standards
4. The Planned Unit Development Amendment 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.
Furthermore, the Planning Advisory Commission finds:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. The establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly
development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the
district.
4. 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.
5. The special use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations
of the district in which it is located.

expansion or major alteration to the site to accommodate this child care use shall be
subject to an amendment to this special use permit.
4. The Applicant will need to submit to city staff specifications on the outdoor child care
play area, including fencing type and height, playground equipment (if any) and
