PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 94-1
RESOLUTION REGARDING RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION OF
PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 94009 SUBMITTED
THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH OF THE MASTER
WHEREAS, Planning Commission Application No. 94009 submitted by the
Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Master proposes rezoning from Rl (Single Family
Residence) and R4 (Multiple Family Residence) to PUD/R1 of the properties addressed as 1200
69th Avenue North, 1107 Emerson Lane, 1100 69th Avenue North and 6907 Dupont Avenue
North all located at the northwest quadrant of Dupont and 69th Avenues North; and
WHEREAS, this proposal comprehends the combining of these parcels and the
eventual utilization of three apartment buildings by the Lutheran Church of the Master for
church purposes over a phased, or staged, period of time; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly called public hearing on
September 15, 1994, when a staff report and public testimony regarding the rezoning and plan
where received; and
WHEREAS, the Northeast Neighborhood Advisory Group met to consider this
matter on October 13, 1994, 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
October 27, 1994, received a staff report and took further testimony during a continued public
hearing; and
WHEREAS, the Commission considered the rezoning and plan request in light
of all testimony received, the guidelines for evaluation 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 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. 94009 submitted
by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Master be approved in light of the following
considerations:
1. The rezoning and plan are compatible with the standards, purposes and
intent of the Planned Unit Development section of the City's Zoning
Ordinance.

Planning Commission Resolution No. 94-1
2. The rezoning and development plan will allow for the utilization of
buildings by the church in a manner which can be considered compatible
with surrounding land uses.
3. The utilization of the property in question, with the submission of future
plans, will conform with city ordinance standards. The phased, or staged,
incorporation of the buildings for church purposes is considered a
reasonable use of property.
4. The rezoning and plan are considered compatible with recommendations
in the City's Comprehensive Plan for the northeast neighborhood area.
5. The eventual incorporation of the buildings and their utilization by the
church appears to be a good long range use of the existing buildings and
can be considered to be in the best interests of the community.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Brooklyn Center Planning Advisory
Commission to recommend to the City Council that approval of Application No. 94009 be
subject to the following conditions and considerations:
1. The immediate use of the building at 1107 Emerson Lane North for
Sunday School and Confirmation classes may proceed subject to the
approval of the building official regarding the occupancy and use of the
building.
2. The continued use of the buildings addressed as 1100 69th Avenue North
and 6907 Dupont Avenue North as rental dwellings is allowed until the
second phase of the project begins, subject to the licensing provisions in
the City's Building Maintenance and Occupancy Ordinance.
3. A multiple family residential use of the three apartment buildings may be
re-established if, for some reason, the church's proposal does not go
forward and the phased utilization of these buildings is not undertaken.
4. The Lutheran Church of the Master shall submit the necessary site plan
including landscaping, grading, drainage, utility and floor plans along with
a preliminary plat and watershed plan in a timely manner prior to
proceeding with the phase II and phase III utilization of the property.
5. The church shall enter into a development agreement with the City, to be
reviewed and approved by the City Attorney prior to phase I utilization of
the buildings. Said agreement shall outline the phasing of this plan
including when platting, watershed review, and the physical plans shall be
accomplished.
