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. 2002 -001 submitted by Speedway SuperAmerica, LLC be approved in light of 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 city ordinance standards except for allowing a gasoline station to abut R -1 zoned property; a building encroachment into the 35 ft. buffer area where the property abuts with 5639 Logan Avenue North; and a less than 15 ft. greenstrip along the 57th Avenue North right of way line. These modifications from the C -2 standards are justified on the basis of the development being an appropriate redevelopment of this area and that they are offset or mitigated by various factors contained in the approved development plan. 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 redevelopment can be considered an asset to the community. 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.
