TO LAND LOCATED IN THE I-2 ZONING DISTRICT
WHEREAS, the City Council on December 20, 1982 adopted
Resolution No. 82-255, adopting the updated Brooklyn Center
Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Plan's Land Use Plan at page 98 (Table 14
and 15 designates Area #18 as an area for Light Industrial Land

WHEREAS, the City's Planned Unit Development ordinance
(Section 35-355) requires that Planned Unit developments may only
be in areas designated for redevelopment in the City's
Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS, the entire I-2 zoned area of the City is in need
of redevelopment to one degree or another including the I-2 area
north of the Soo Line tracks and west of France Avenue North; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Chapter 35-202 of the City
Ordinances the Commission has held a duly called public hearing on
a draft Comprehensive Plan amendment at its January 31, 1991 and
February 14, 1991 meetings and has taken testimony relevant to the
draft amendment; and
WHEREAS, the Commission has considered the draft
amendment in light of the Comprehensive Plan, the Planned Unit
Development ordinance, and the need for flexibility in bringing
about a redevelopment of the I-2 area in the future.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Brooklyn Center
Planning Advisory Commission to recommend to the City Council,
pursuant to Chapter 35-202 of the City Ordinances, that City
Council Resolution No. 82-255 (Comprehensive Plan) be amended to
designate the entire I-2 zoning district of the City as part of
Area #18 of the Land Use Plan and that the recommended use for Area
#18 on Table 14 be amended to read: "Redevelopment as Planned Unit
Development and/or Light Industrial" , based upon the following
findings:
1. There are many obsolete buildings in the I-2 zoning
district which may not be suitable for new
industrial uses in the future.

RESOLUTION NO. 91-2
2. Many sites in the I-2 district lack sufficient
parking and greenstrips and do not meet required
setbacks.
3 . The future upgrading of Highway 100 in the area to
freeway status will change the nature of the area
contained in the I-2 zoning district.
4 . A planned unit development designation will give
the City and private property owners and developers
the flexibility to approach redevelopment in the I-
2 area of the City in a manner that will most
enhance the neighborhood as well as individual
properties.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Brooklyn Center Planning
Advisory Commission to recommend to the City Council that the
Brooklyn Center Comprehensive Plan be revised to read as follows:
Area No. 18 on Figure 15 shall be expanded to include the
I-2 area north of the Soo Line tracks and west of France
Avenue North; and
No. 18 of Table 14 on page 98 of the Comprehensive Plan
regarding the Land Use Plan be changed from "Light
Industrial" to "Redevelopment as Planned Unit Development
and/or Light Industrial. "
