Adjournment Planning Commission Information Sheet • Application No. 77001 Applicant: Richard A. Rockstad Location: 7000 - 7006 Brooklyn Boulevard Request: Rezoning The applicant requests rezoning, from R-5 (Multiple Residence) to C-1 (Service-Office Commercial), of the property at the northeast corner of 70th and Brooklyn Boulevard. A small office building is proposed. The property was zoned "R-B (Residence Business)" prior to 1968 when it was rezoned to R-5 along with the land to the north, up to and including the City property at 7100 Brooklyn Boulevard (CEAP) . Offices were permitted uses in the R-B zone. The property contains a single family dwelling which, until approximately two years ago, was occupied by the applicant's real estate firm. The structure has recently been rented as a residence. The applicant proposes to remove the existing structures and build a new office building. Items to be considered include: 1 . Comprehensive Plan. The area east of Brooklyn Boulevard north of 70th Avenue now zoned R-5 is viewed as a "Planned Development Area" , i.e. common zoning and development should be encouraged, versus parcel-by-parcel development. "Higher uses" such as service-office are deemed appropriate in this context. 2 . Nature of and Effect Upon Area Zoning. There are five single family dwellings , including the applicant's and a landlocked one adjacent to the north, between 70th Avenue and the City property; and there is a seven unit apartment building and the old City Hall (now being converted for use by CEAP). The only conforming use now is the apartment building. The landlocked dwelling north of the applicant's property was permitted under a 1965 variance acknowledging private easement access, in lieu of public street. All the nonconforming parcels, with the exception of the landlocked lot which would need to be combined, could contain small R-5 (includes R-4 or R-3) developments or small C-1 developments. The City property, in effect, is now a public C-1 type use with the CEAP occupancy. If one presumes the existing apartments will remain, there is thus a cluster of three parcels to the south (includes the applicant's) and two to the north which are potentially subject to conforming development or rezoning. • I m Planning Commission Application No. 77001 There is no adjacent R-1 zoning except for St. Alphonsus Church property to the east. 3. Inter-relationship of R-5 and C-1 Uses . The Commission discussed this in depth last year relative to the application for land at 65th and Brooklyn Boulevard and the one for the R-4 parcel at 69th and Humboldt Avenues North. It would be appropriate to formalize a policy statement on this subject at this time, since the matter is not unique to this area . C-1 intensity is comparable to R-5 (of similar magnitude) and can often be less. 4. Highest and Best Land Use is the basic criterion for any zoning determination. Consideration includes the above factors as well as the general character of the area today and the desirable development for the future. It is standard procedure to refer rezoning requests to the neighborhood group (Northwest) for review and comment. a T y PR6 ee R T,y l r 64OuSir '•� R_ 5 R -;e.PA \_ VACAOT t—io s,) C H U kc, H o P A 0 PCRT L/ t 70T#4 A V E, U3o' -70 ry \c 2 ' � C-I " -a rn ,� IN VII R-I z 1 c NO, -77(00 / Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 77004 Applicant: Brookdale Motors, Inc.

January 12, 1977 City of Brooklyn Center 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Brooklyn Center, Minn. 55430 Subject: Special Use Permit Proposed Ground Round Restaurant Brockdale Shopping Center Gentlemen: The live entertainment format at our Ground Round Rest- aurants varies from market to market. We would antic- ipate; however, that the entertainment at the proposed Ground Round Restaurant would consist of small groups providing banjo-piano sing-a-long, honky tonk, soft rock and blues selections. This entertainment format would be similar to the entertainment provided in our Restaurants at Roseville and Fridley, Minnesota. Enter- tainment of this nature would generally go from 8: 30pm until closing five to seven nights per week. As the Ground Round Restaurants are oriented heavily towards family groups, entertainment by clowns would also be featured on Saturdays and Sundays, principally for Children' s Birthday parties during daytime hours. In addition to the usual antics and buffoonery, the clowns distribute party favors and prizes . We trust that the foregoing capsulize description of the Ground Round live entertainment format will be suf- ficient for your purpose. We will be pleased to pro- vide any additional information that might be required in your further consideration of this application.
