PLA14NING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION NO. 83-3
RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING AMENDMENT OF COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 82-255
(CO1,4PREHENSIVE PLAN) RELATIVE TO LAND ALONG BROOKLYN BOULEVARD
RECOMMENDED FOR OFFICE OR MID-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
WHEREAS, the Council on December 20, 1982 adopted Resolution No. 82-255,
adopting the updated Brooklyn Center Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Plan (at page 98) recommends service/office development or
townhouse development at various locations along Brooklyn Boulevard; and
WHEREAS, the Plan (at various pages in the Brooklyn Boulevard study)
recommends that areas of commercial and residential development be clearly
separated; and (or but?)
WHEREAS, the Plan (at figures 26 and 27) treats office uses and medium
density residential uses as interchangeable in their relationship to the Boulevard
and to adjacent residential uses; and
WHEREAS, both office and medium density residential (townhouse) develop-
ment require 15' wide buffer strips and 4' high opaque fencing adjacent to single-
family residential ; and
11HEREAS, a policy of allowing offices and townhouses on an interchangeable
basis would not likely increase traffic or the demand on public utilities beyond
what is comprehended presently under the 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 Council Resolution No. 82-255 (Comprehensive Plan) be
amended to allow offices and townhouses on an interchangeable basis along the
Brooklyn Boulevard corridor and that the following spedific amendments be made in
the text of the Plan:

north of 70th Avenue should receive infill development and
redevelopment with medium density. [Commercial] Retail and
service uses other than those already in existence should
not be allowed to stray into these residential enclaves and
detract from the character which is being sought.

RECOMMENDED CONCEPTUAL ALTERNATIVE
Land Use
The recommended Conceptual Alternative for the continued evolution
of the Brooklyn Boulevard corridor recognizes the constraints which
certain existing developments have placed upon the City's options
for change within the corridor. Working within these parameters,
the Recommended Conceptual Alternative attempts to strike a
reasonable balance between the status quo shown in Conceptual
Alternative A and the close-to-ideal situation portrayed by Con-
ceptual Alternative C. This option was designed with the following
objectives in mind:
to contain [commercial] retail and service land uses within
clearly defined sectors of *the Brooklyn Boulevard corridor;
propose means of preventing the evolution of a "strip"
of retail and service businesses from State Highway (TH)
100 to the northern .City Boundary
