and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 2017-177
RESOLUTION REGARDING THE RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION OF
PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2017-010 SUBMITTED BY
THE LUTHER COMPANY, LLLP, FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE 2008
LUTHER PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (LOCATED AT 4301 AND 4315
68TH AVENUE NORTH AND 6701 BROOKLYN BOULEVARD) AND
INCORPORATION OF 4321 68TH AVENUE NORTH INTO THE PUD WITH
A NEW ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF PUD/C2 (PLANNED UNIT
DEVELOPMENT/COMMERCE)
WHEREAS, the City Council of Brooklyn Center adopted Resolution No. 2008-80,
dated July 28, 2008, which approved the rezoning of three contiguous lots located on the west side
of Brooklyn Boulevard between 1-94/694 and 68 t" North (addressed as 4301 and 4315 68
Avenue North and 6701 Brooklyn Boulevard) and established a Planned Unit Development
(PUD), which included an approved Development/Master Plan and certain allowances and
development standards that would govern over the PUD for the redevelopment and expansion of
the Luther Chevrolet building, and the remodeling and expansion of an existing building for a new
Luther Buick, Pontiac, and GMC dealership; and
WHEREAS, the proposal comprehends additional adjustments not approved under
the 2008 Luther Planned Unit Development and the related 2008 PUD Agreement; specifically, the
incorporation of Lot 3, Block 2 of Northtown Plaza 2111 Addition (4321 681h Avenue North) into the
Planned Unit Development, the rezoning of said property from C2 (Commerce) District to PUD/C2
(Planned Unit Development/Commerce) District, and the consolidation and reconfiguration of lot
lines to provide additional area for outdoor auto storage and display; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly called public hearing on
October 26, 2017, whereby a staff report and public testimony regarding the Planned Unit
Development Amendment were received and considered by the Planning Commission; and the
Planning Commission gave proper consideration of this Planned Unit Development Amendment
request by utilizing the guidelines for evaluating such amendments as contained in Section 35-
355 of the City's Zoning Ordinance and the City's Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS; in light of all testimony received, the Planning Advisory
Commission of the City of Brooklyn Center determined that Planning Application No. 2017-010,
submitted by the Luther Company, LLLP, be approved based upon the following considerations:
a) The request for amendment to the 2008 Luther Planned Unit Development
plans and documents is consistent with the initial approval of the PUD
under City Council Resolution 2008-80, and is compatible with the
standards, purposes, and intent of the Planned Unit Development section
of the City's Zoning Ordinance.
RESOLUTION NO. 2017-177
b) The proposal for an amendment to the 2008 Luther Planned Unit
Development will allow for the continued utilization of the land in
question in a manner that is compatible with, complementary to, and of
comparable intensity to adjacent land uses, as well as those permitted on
the surrounding land.
C) Considering the former Atlantis Pool and Spa location (4321 68111 Avenue
North) was demolished in 2015, the land, to be incorporated into the 2008
Luther Planned Unit Development, would serve as additional parking area
for the Luther Buick/GMC dealership. As the land would not be subject to
increased building density or impervious area, there would be no impact to
the surrounding neighborhood.
d) The proposed internal site organization, circulation, and parking facilities
for the Luther Buick/GMC dealership would be improved by providing an
additional 105 parking stalls along the western portions of the Luther
Buick/GMC and Chevrolet dealership lots, along with the inclusion of
parking medians, new drive aisles, and an overall decrease in the
impervious area for these lots.
AND WHEREAS, the Planning Advisory Commission of the City of Brooklyn
Center did determine that the guidelines for evaluating a Planned Unit Development Amendment,
as contained in Section 35-355 of the City's Zoning Ordinance, have been met, and the proposal is
therefore, in the best interest of the community.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, that Planning Application No. 2017-010, submitted by the Luther
Company, LLLP, which requests approval of an amendment to the Luther Planned Unit
Development of 2008, is hereby approved subject to the following conditions:
1.The Applicant/Developer is permitted to amend the 2008 Luther Planned
Unit Development pending approval of the requests filed under Planning
Application No. 2017-010. These include preliminary/final plat approval

(5) lots into three (3) lots, and the establishment of a new Planned Unit
Development for a Luther Mazda/Mitsubishi dealership.
2.The Applicant/Developer shall comply with the comments outlined in the
Assistant City Engineer's memorandum dated October 18, 2017.
3.The Applicant/Developer shall obtain a land alteration permit and adhere

Planned Unit Development (PUD) shall remain in effect for the entire
RESOLUTION NO. 2017-177
Luther Planned Unit Development, as initially approved under City
Council Resolution No. 2008-80.
5. Any future PUD amendments or application requests will require the
