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. 2000 -014 submitted by Franz Engineering Reproductions, Inc. be approved in light of the following considerations: Page 1 I 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 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 city ordinance standards except for allowing a 15 ft. rather than 50 ft. buffer strip along the Xerxes Avenue right of way area which is justified on the basis of providing heavy landscaping and utilizing a dense, staggered planting scheme of coniferous trees to screen and buffer the area. 4. The Planned Unit Development proposal 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 use of the existing land and 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.
