adoption:
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 89-1
RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING AMENDMENT OF CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION
NO. 82-255 (COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RELATIVE TO LAND NORTH OF THE
FREEWAY AND EAST OF SHINGLE CREEK, ADJACENT TO FREEWAY BOULEVARD
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 Revisions Map at page 98 (Table 14 and Figure
15) designates the area north of Interstate 694 (area 6a) for light industrial; and
WHEREAS, a rezoning request (Application No. 89003) by the City of
Brooklyn Center has been submitted to rezone 18 parcels comprising approximately 68
acres of land adjacent to Interstate 694 from I-1 (Light Industrial) to C2
(Commerce) to eliminate the possibility of industrial development on these parcels;
and
WHEREAS, the rezoning request is partially inconsistent with Table 14 of
the Plan which recommends only light industrial for part of the area considered for
rezoning; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has considered a Comprehensive Plan
amendment to Table 14 in conjunction with the rezoning application and finds the
rezoning proposal to be in the best interests of the community; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 35-202 of the City ordinances, the Planning
Commission held a public hearing on March 2, 1989 to consider an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Brooklyn Center Planning Advisory
Commission to recommend to the City Council, pursuant to Section 35-202 of the City
Ordinances, that City Council Resolution No. 82-255 (Comprehensive Plan) be amended
to allow commercial and service/office development in the area north of Interstate
94 and east of Shingle Creek (adjacent to Freeway Boulevard, area 6a of Table 14)
based upon the following findings:
1. Commercial and service/office development has already taken place in �I
this area and has been acknowledged under the existing I-1 zoning.
2. It is appropriate now to ratify the trend toward commercial
development near the Interstate by rezoning a number of parcels to C2.
Such a rezoning, however, is not strictly consistent with the Plan
recommendation for land north of the Interstate to be developed light
industrial.
3• Traffic impact in this area will not be adversely affected by such an
amendment and this amendment has no adverse effect on any Metropolitan
systems.
4. Such a Comprehensive Plan amendment is in the best interests of the
community, given the above considerations.
i
RESOLUTION NO. 89-1
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:
No. 6a of Table 14 on page 98 of the Comprehensive Plan regarding
the Land Use Revisions Map be changed from "light industrial" to
"light industrial, commercial and service/office."
