NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Brooklyn Center Planning Advisory Commission to recommend to the City Council that Application No. 93011 submitted by Brookdale Chrysler Plymouth be approved in light of the following considerations: 1 1 Planning Commission Resolution No. 93-2 1. The rezoning will allow for appropriate redevelopment along Brooklyn Boulevard which is consistent with the needs and redevelopment-policies of the City. 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 with single family residential uses is acceptable given the landscaping and screening plan submitted. 4. The property at 6107 Brooklyn Boulevard cannot be developed by itself under the current C1 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. Furthermore, the likelihood of service/office redevelopment in this area being undertaken in the immediate future is remote given existing and future market considerations. 5. The rezoning of the land and the accompanying development plans allow for expansion of an existing viable business along Brooklyn Boulevard consistent with recommendations contained in two recent studies for the City of Brooklyn Center. 6. Rezoning is consistent with the amended recommendations contained in the City's Comprehensive Plan. 7. The rezoning proposal demonstrates merit beyond the interest of the owner of the land in that it will provide a substantial upgrading of the site and upgrading of the physical character of Brooklyn Boulevard which is seen as a benefit to the Community. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Brooklyn Center Planning Advisory Commission to recommend to the City Council that approval of Application No. 93011 be subject to the following conditions and considerations: 1.
