PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 98 -04
RESOLUTION REGARDING RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION OF
PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 98017 SUBMITTED BY
DAVE PHILLIPS ON BEHALF OF BROOKDALE CHRYSLER PLYMOUTH
WHEREAS, Planning Commission Application No. 98017 submitted by Dave
Phillips on behalf of Brookdale Chrysler Plymouth, proposes rezoning from C -2 (Commerce) and
C -1 (Service /Office) to PUD /C -2 (Planned Unit Development /Commerce) of the properties
addressed as 6121 Brooklyn Boulevard and 6107 Brooklyn Boulevard; and
WHEREAS, the proposal comprehends the expansion of the Brookdale Chrysler
Plymouth dealership with an 8,500 sq. ft. building addition for automobile service and repair and
a 1,100 sq. ft. car wash at 6121 Brooklyn Boulevard and the interim use of 6107 Brooklyn
Boulevard for the storage and display of new and used car inventory; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly called public hearing on August
13, 1998, when a staff report and public testimony regarding the rezoning and site and building
plans were received; and
WHEREAS, the West Central Neighborhood Advisory Group met to consider this
matter on September 2, 1998, at the City Hall and unanimously recommended approval of this
Planned Unit Development proposal; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission resumed consideration of this matter on
September 10, 1998, received a staff report, revised development plans, and took further
testimony during a continued public hearing; and
WHEREAS, the Commission considered the rezoning and site and building plan
request in light of all testimony received, the guidelines for evaluating rezonings contained in
Section 35 -208 of the City's zoning ordinance and in light of the provisions of the Planned Unit
Development ordinance contained in Section 35 -355, and in light of the comments relative to this
property in the City's Comprehensive Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Brooklyn Center Planning Advisory
Commission to recommend to the City Council that Application No. 98017 be approved in light
of the following considerations:
1. The rezoning will allow for appropriate redevelopment along Brooklyn Boulevard,
which is consistent with the needs and redevelopment policies of the City.

Planning Commission Resolution No. 98 -04
2. The rezoning will allow for the development plan involving the expansion of the
Brookdale Chrysler Plymouth dealership, which can be considered compatible with
surrounding land uses.
3. The development of the property in question, will for the most part, conform with city
ordinance standards. Variation from the buffer and setback requirements where the
use abuts single family residential uses is acceptable given the landscaping and
screening plans submitted. Also the expansion of the automobile service operation is
acceptable given the landscaping and screening plans submitted.
4. The property at 6107 Brooklyn Boulevard cannot be developed by itself under the
current C -1 zoning designation given the requirements for a minimum one acre parcel
for service /office development on a major thoroughfare and must be combined with
other parcels for redevelopment. The interim use of this parcel for the parking and
storage of inventory is an appropriate use and still allows for the future combination
of this parcel with other property for appropriate commercial development.
5. The rezoning of the land and the accompanying development plans allow for expansion
of a existing viable business along Brooklyn Boulevard consistent with the
recommendations contained in recent studies for the City of Brooklyn Center.
6. The rezoning is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The rezoning proposal
demonstrates merit beyond the interests of the owner of land in that it will provide a
substantial upgrading of the site and upgrading of the physical character of Brooklyn
Boulevard and allow for the interim use of a parcel of land that would otherwise sit
vacant and this is considered a benefit to the community.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Advisory
Commission of the City of Brooklyn Center to recommend to the City Council that approval of
Application No. 98017 be subject to the following conditions and considerations:
1. 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 and utility 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 amount to
be determined based on cost estimates) shall be submitted prior to the issuance of
permits.
2
Planning Commission Resolution No. 98 -04
4. Any outside trash disposal facilities and rooftop mechanical equipment shall be
appropriately screened from view.
5. 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.
6. An underground irrigation system shall be installed in all landscaped areas to
facilitate site maintenance.
7. Plan approval is exclusive of all signery which is subject to Chapter 34 of the city
ordinances.
8. B -612 curb and gutter shall be provided around the parking and driving areas in the
off -site inventory lot.
9. The applicant shall submit an as -built survey of the property, improvements and
utility service lines prior to release of the performance guarantee.
10. The, property owner shall enter into an easement and agreement for maintenance and
inspection of utility and storm drainage systems prior to the issuance of permits.
11. The plans shall be modified to include the following:
a. A minimum six foot high opaque screen fence along the west and south portions
of the property where it abuts with 6101 Brooklyn Boulevard.
b. Lighting along the south property line will be a high cut -off type so as not to
cause light glare on adjacent properties, particularly those zoned residential.
