adoption:
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 9002-03
RESOLUTION REGARDING THE RECOMENDED DISPOSITION OF
PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2002 -012 SUBMITTED BY
SPEEDWAY SUPERAMERICA.
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 SuperAmerica 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 SuperAmerica
development; and
WHEREAS, Planning Commission Application No. 2002 -012 consisting of a PUD
amendment to allow construction of a 3,958 sq. ft. SuperAmerica convenience store /gas station/car
wash on a 52,768 sq. ft. lot at the southeast corner of 70th Avenue and Brooklyn Boulevard has
been submitted by Speedway SuperAmerica; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly called public hearing on August
15, 2002, 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. 2002 -012
submitted by Speedway SuperAmerica be approved in light of 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.
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 15 ft. green strip along the
Brooklyn Boulevard and 70th Avenue North rights of way. 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 Planned Unit Development amendment appears to be a good long range of the
existing land and can be considered an asset to the community in light of its
compatibility with the overall Planned Unit Development proposal.
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. 2002 -012 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

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 and to Condition No. 18 of City Council Resolution No.
2002 -75, which allows a monument type sign not exceeding 12 ft. in height
and 145 sq. ft. in area to identify the SuperAmerica site.
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 to provide concrete parking delineators at the
ends of the row of parking immediately adjacent to the front of the building.
