Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 84026
Applicant: Brookdale Covenant Church
Location: 5139 Brooklyn Boulevard
Request: Special Use Permit
The applicant requests special use permit approval to conduct a Mediation, Recon-
ciliation, Counseling service in the former parsonage on the Brookdale Covenant
Church property at 5139 Brooklyn Boulevard. The church property is zoned R1 and
is bounded on the south by Malmborg's Greenhouse, on the northwest by Highway 100,
and on the northeast by Brooklyn Boulevard. The old parsonage is at the southwest
corner of the triangular church property. The proposed use, since it is on church
property and is affiliated with the church is considered accessory to the church
use, which is a special use in the R1 zone.
The applicant's representative, Dean Nyquist, has submitted a letter (attached)
addressing the Standards for a Special Use Permit contained in Section 35-220. Mr.
Nyquist explains the proposed use as a way of meeting the need for professional
counseling and making better use of the former parsonage. It is presently being
used for Sunday school classes and youth activities. He notes that the Brooklyn
Center Mediation Project and the Christian Conciliation Service address similar
needs. Attached to the letter is a proposal for creating a Mediation, Reconciliation
and Counseling (MRC) center.
Regarding the special use standards, Mr. Nyquist's letter states that the proposed
use would add to the community and would not diminish property values in the
neighborhood. He notes that the surrounding property is already developed and,
therefore, the proposed use should not negatively affect the development of adjacent
property. The applicant points out that more than adequate parking exists on the
church property and that the MRC center would operate at times during the week when
the church is not heavily used. The letter concludes by noting that handicapped
clients can be accommodated at the church itself which is accessible to the handi-
capped, but that the MRC center would not be remodeled for handicapped access.
Staff see no real conflict with the special use standards. The proposed use seems
to be an entirely appropriate reuse of this part of the church property. Our main
concern is that the proposed use be connected to and consistent with the ministry
of Brookdale Covenant Church. We would not recommend approval of a reuse of the
premises that involved, for instance, law offices or accountants' offices. In
light of the non-profit, public-service nature of the MRC center and its affiliation
with the church, we feel it can be comprehended within the R1 zone. A more com-
mercial use of the property involving perhaps a subdivision of land, would have to
be accompanied by a rezoning application to C1. That need not be considered in
this case.
In light of the above, approval is recommended on the grounds that the Standards
for a Special Use Permit are met and subject to the following conditions:
1. Permit approval is subject to all applicable codes, ordinances,
and regulations and any violation thereof shall be grounds for
revocation.
2. The special use permit is issued to the applicant for a Mediation,
Reconciliation and Counseling center use and is nontransferable.
3. Building permits are subject to review and approval by the Building
Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance
of permits.
