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 -016
submitted by Gatlin Development Company be approved based upon the following
considerations:
A. 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.
B. 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.
C. The Planned Unit Development Amendment proposal is considered consistent with
the recommendations of the City's Comprehensive Plan for this area of the city.
D. The Planned Unit Development Amendment proposal appears to be a good long
range use of the existing land and this development can be considered an asset to
the community.
E. Based upon the above considerations, it is believed that the guidelines for
evaluating Planned Unit Development Amendment as contained in Section 35 -355
of the City's Zoning Ordinance are met and the proposal is, therefore, in the best
interest of the community.
