RESOLUTION NO. 2000-226
RESOLUTION REGARDING THE DISPOSITION OF REQUEST SUBMITTED
BY MR. SAM BAXTER TO AMEND ZONING ORDINANCE REGARDING I-1
USES.
WHEREAS, the City Council on November 13, 2000, following an appearance by
Mr. Sam Baxter regarding a proposed go-kart facility in the industrial park, directed the Planning
Commission to review the City's Zoning Ordinance and advise if there was reason to consider
modification of said ordinance; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Baxter submitted a written request on November 27, 2000, for an
ordinance amendment and the matter was referred to the Planning Commission for review and
comment; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission met in a study session on November 30,
2000, at which time said written request was modified to properly reflect that it was being made to
the City of Brooklyn Center; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission received a written memorandum from the
Planning Commission Secretary dated November 27, 2000, containing a summary of the proposed
request, a listing of permitted and special uses allowed in the I-1 zoning district, the history of
pertinent zoning actions taken by the City of Brooklyn Center relating to allowable uses in the I-1
zoning district, other related information and Mr. Baxter's written request with supporting
information; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission discussed and reviewed said items and took
comments from Mr. Baxter regarding his proposal; and
WHEREAS, following deliberation the Planning Commission unanimously
recommended to the City Council to deny Mr. Baxter's request to amend the zoning ordinance to
allow "recreational and amusement" uses as either a permitted or special use in the I-1 zoning
district on the basis that said use is properly classified as a C-2 use and there is no compelling
reason to add such a classification of use to the listing of permitted or special uses in the I-1 zoning
district; and
