The proposed use described in Application No. 83004 for elderly housing is consistent with the City's Land Use Policy Plan as articulated on page 82 of the Brooklyn Center Comprehensive Plan. 2. The traffic impact on the adjacent neighborhood will actually be less than would be the case if the property were developed entirely with R3-type uses and is further minimized by the access design of the site plan. 3. There is no other R6 zoned land in Brooklyn Center, either developed or vacant, and construction of the project as designed would necessitate the rezoning of land somewhere within the City to R6. 4. The proposed rezoning and site plan serve a public need as witnessed in Point No. 1 above. 5. There is a minimum amount of high-density housing in the Southeast Neighborhood, whereas the need for elderly housing in this neighborhood is substantial. 6. The proposed use is consistent and compatible with the surrounding single-family and freeway development. 1 1 RESOLUTION NO. 83-2 7. Recent rezoni.ngs of other land to R3 within the City mitigate the loss of 7.15 acres of land from the R3 zoning classification. 8. The subject property can support development within the requirements of the R6 zoning classification as witnessed by the proposed site plan submitted under Application NO. 83004. 9. In light of the above, it is felt that the proposed rezoning meets the guidelines for evaluating rezonings set forth in Section 35-208 of Zoning Ordinance. 3 Date Chairman ATTES : �.
