use amendment.

accommodated and contemplated for development of the subject property.
3. The proposed land use amendment will be consistent and compatible with
the surrounding land use classifications.

changes in this area since the subject property was amended.

warranted or supported by the City's Comprehensive Plan and can be
considered to be in the best interest of the community.
6. The Subject Site is generally unsuited for uses permitted in the present
land use category with respect to size, configuration, topography or
location, due in part to the size and limited access onto the adjacent
roadway system.
7. The land use amendment may be supported and approved due to the
evidence of a broad public purpose .

of Brooklyn Center to recommend to the City Council that that the land use amendment to change
