E. Homes Location: 7020, 7040 Brooklyn Boulevard Request: Rezoning The applicant requests rezoning of the land at 7020 and 7040 Brooklyn Boulevard from R5 to R3 and the rezoning of a .87 acre area of land at the west edge of the St. Alphonsus Church property from R1 to R3. The land is bounded by Brooklyn Boulevard on the west, by the old City Hall property on the north, by St. Alphonsus Church on the east, and by a 7 unit apartment building on the south. The intended use of the property is an office condominium development which is a special use in the R3 zoning district. No development plan or plat has yet been submitted. The applicant has submitted a written statement, prepared by his attorney, which addresses the guidelines for evaluating rezonings set forth in'Section 35-208 of the Zoning Ordinance (see written statement and ordinance guidelines attached). Staff agree in general that there is merit in the rezoning, request and, therefore, we will not comment on each particular point. We would point out that the rezoning request is for the properties at 7020 and 7040 Brooklyn Boulevard and the westerly portion of the St. Alphonsus property and does not include the old City Hall site at 7100 Brooklyn Boulevard. The City's Comprehensive Plan generally recommends mid -density residential or office use in this area of Brooklyn Boulevard (north of 70th Avenue North) though there is no specific recommendation for these particular parcels. The written statement of the applicant asserts, and we concur, that the existing single-family homes, 7020 and 7040 Brooklyn Boulevard are an inappropriate use of land along this major thoroughfare. A more intense use, as comprehended in the R3 zoning classification, and with controlled access onto Brooklyn Boulevard is an appropriate use. The minimum requirement of one acre for office developments can be met by the combination of the three parcels involved. The rezoning of these three parcels to R3 cannot become effective until the property is combined through platting into a single lot, or at least a single common area with interior lots for townhouses or offices. It does not seem necessary to us that a specific development plan be approved for this property since either a townhouse development or a low-rise office development of the property is con- sistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. As with all rezoning applications, it is recommended that the application be tabled and referred to the appropriate Neighborhood Advisory Group (Northwest) for review and comment. We expect that further applications regarding this property will be submitted by the time the rezoning returns for final consideration. `-- 5-24-84 Planning Commission Information Sheet Application no. 84013 Applicant: H. E. Homes, Inc. Location: 7020, 7040 Brooklyn Boulevard Request: Rezoning The applicant seeks rezoning from R5 to R3, the two parcels at 7020 and 7040 Brooklyn Boulevard and from RI to R3 a .87 acre parcel of land at the west end of the St. Alphonsus Church site (70th and Halifax Avenue North). The property in question is located north of 70th Avenue North on Brooklyn Boulevard and is presently occupied by two single-family homes. The applicant intends to build office condominiums on the property. This application was reviewed by the Commission at its May 24, 1984 meeting. The application was tabled at that time and referred to the Northwest Neighborhood Advisory Group for review and comment. The Northwest Neighborhood Advisory Group held a meeting to review the matter at Brooklyn United Methodist Church at 7:00 p.m. on June 21, 1984. Barbara Sorenson was appointed secretary at that meeting and has submitted minutes of the proceed- ings (attached). The unanimous conclusion of the advisory group was that the rezoning should be approved. There were concerns expressed that traffic not be routed to 71st Avenue North and that a chain link fence be put up to discourage any cut-throughs. (Note: An opaque fence or wall or Council approved substitute is required when C1 type uses (offices) abut R1, R2, or R3 zoning districts). No site and building plan or preliminary plat have yet been submitted. However, staff expect these applications to be submitted soon. The Planning Commission may hold the rezoning over with the applicant's consent until site and building plans and a plat have been submitted so that all can be considered together; or the Commission may act on the rezoning at this meeting if the applicant so requests. Any final reclassification of the property will depend on a final replatting of the property involved. As staff have stated in our previous report, the rezoning is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. We, therefore, recommend eventual approval of this application. A resolution recommending approval of the rezoning application will be available at Thursday's meeting. A continued public hearing has been scheduled and notices have been sent. 7-12-84 ... �.
