MIXED COMMERCE AND INDUSTRIAL PARK)
WHEREAS, Planning Commission Application No. 2012-002 submitted by Paul
Hyde, on behalf of Real Estate Recycling, LLC proposes rezoning from C2 (Commerce) to PUD-
Mixed C2/I-1 (Planned Unit Development — Mixed Commerce and Industrial Park) of the 7.39
acre site located at 4001 Lakebreeze Avenue North, along with the approximate 1.27 acre MnDOT
excess right-of-way parcel located adjacent to and immediately east of the subject property; and
WHEREAS, the proposal comprehends the rezoning of the above mentioned
property to facilitate the planned and future redevelopment of the site with a proposed 90,000 sq.
ft. office/industrial/warehouse facility on said properties; and
WHEREAS, on February 13, 2012, the City Council adopted City Resolution No.
2012-031 which approved an amendment to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan by changing the land
use designation on the subject site from OS-Office/Service Business to a new Mixed-Use OS/I —
Office-Service Business/Industrial; and whereby the City subsequently received official notice
from the Metropolitan Council by means of letter of approval, dated March 13, 2012 in which said
land use amendment was accepted by the Met Council; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly called public hearing on April
12, 2012, whereby a planning staff report was presented and public testimony regarding the
rezoning and development plan were received; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered the rezoning request in light of
all testimony received, the guidelines for evaluating rezoning contained in Section 35-208 of the
City's Zoning Ordinance, the provisions of the C2 (Commerce) and I-1 (Industrial Park) Zoning
District standards contained in Sections 35-322 and 35-330 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. 2012-02
submitted by Paul Hyde of Real Estate Recycling, LLC be approved based upon the following
considerations:
PC RESOLUTION NO. 2012-04
1. The planned rezoning is compatible with the standards, purposes and intent of the
City's Zoning Ordinance;
2. The rezoning, which will facilitate the redevelopment and improvement of this site,
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 rezoning and utilization of the property as proposed under the planned
redevelopment of this site is considered a reasonable use of the property and will
conform with ordinance standards, in particular the incorporation of the 100 ft. and
50 ft. buffer requirements where industrial uses abut residential zoned property at a
property line and a street line respectively;
4. The rezoning and land use amendment proposal is considered consistent with the
recommendations of the City's Comprehensive Plan for this area of the city;
5. The rezoning proposal appears to be a good long range use of the existing land and
this proposed development can be considered an asset to the community; and
6. Based upon the above considerations, it is believed that the guidelines for
evaluating rezoning's as contained in Section 35-208 of the City's Zoning
Ordinance are met and 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. 2012-002 be approved
subject to the following conditions and considerations:
1) The rezoning is subject to the successful acceptance and approval by the City
Council of the final development/site plan proposed for the subject site.
2) No part of the land may be used or developed under the site plan labeled
"conceptual" until such time as the Applicant submits a separate site and building
plan application.
3) The submittal and approval of the platting and combining of the former Northwest
Athletic Club (Lifetime Fitness) parcel and the former Denny's Restaurant (now
excess MnDOT right-of-way parcel), to a yet unnamed or identified subdivision
plat.
