These lots are bounded on the north by the Library property and Northport Drive, on the west by Northport Park and Northport School, on the south by the Northport Clinic and on the east by the Brooklyn Boulevard frontage road. We have received a letter from the applicant (attached) in which they argue that the rezoning is justified for the following: a. The surrounding property is all commercially zoned and their property is not suited for residential purposes. b. The rezoning will benefit the City. c. There will be no adverse impact on surrounding properties if the rezoning is granted. In December 1978, the City Council approved a rezoning of the slaughterhouse property, just north of the Library site, to C-1. In conjunction with that rezoning And in a previous rezoning request (Application No. 76053), the Southwest Neigbor- hood Advisory Group communicated its support of a rezoning of all property from the Northport Clinic to the slaughterhouse property. The Planning Commission, with diredti.on from the City Council, decided to review such a large scale rezoning during review of the Comprehensive Plan. That review is not underway, however, it will be perhaps a year before a new plan is adopted. The City's existing Comprehensive Plan recommends preserving "existing sinale family housing on Brooklyn Boulevard, at least for the near future, where it is an integral part of a single family residential neighborhood, ano not segmented therefrom by other land uses, and especially where a frontage road exists or where one can be installed." The properties in question seem to straddle both sides of this recommendation in that they are somewhat isolated, yet are served by a frontage road. The lots in question average roughly 140 ft. depth and have variable widths ranging from 101 ft. to 171 ft. Commercial office developments along a major thoroughfare must be set back 50 ft. and have a 35 ft. buffer strip. Rear yard setbacks are 40 ft. Combinations of some of the lots in question would, in all likelihood, have to take place to make development of this property feasible. The City Plan- ning Consultant has looked at this area for possible service/office uses and are recommending minimum lot widths for C-1 uses along a major thoroughfare to be increased to 150 ft. from the 75 ft. to encourage larger and more attractive de- velopment, rather than allowing house conversions or small complexes requiring numerous curb cuts. It is, however, premature at this time to apply these considerations to the application before the Commission. 5-10-79 -1- i • yApplication No. 79025 A copy of the Rezoning Evaluation Policy and Review Guidelines contained in Section 35-208 is attached for your review. The merits of the proposal must meet the current criteria in order to recommend approval of the application. The Commission traditionally refers rezoning requests to the appropriate Neighbor- hood Advisory Group, in this case, the Southwest Neighborhood Advisory Group. A public hearing has been scheduled and notices have been sent. 5-10-79 -2- PLANNING COMMISSION INFORMATION SHEET Application No. 79025 Applicant: Jarold Modeen Location: 5455 to 5549 Brooklyn Boulevard Request: Rezoning The applicant, owner of the property at 5545 Brooklyn Boulevard, is joined by the property owners of 5455, 5459, 5501, 5509 and 5549 Brooklyn Boulevard in a proposal to rezone six single family residential lots from R-1 to C-1 (service/ office). The application was tabled at the May 10, 1979 Planning Commission meeting and referred to the Southwest Neighborhood Advisory Group for review and comment. The Neighborhood Advisory Group met on May 29 at the Brooklyn Center Library. A number of local residents were present and by a vote of 12 to 10 advised against the rezoning proposal. Advisory Commission members and the interested property owners constituted nine of the voters favoring the rezoning. Surrounding neighbors were not in favor of the proposal. The Commission is referred to the previous informa- tion sheet (attached) for background on the proposal. As was indicated at the May 10 and May 24 meetings, staff consider the proposal premature at this time. While the planning consultants have recommended service/ office (C-1) use in this area in the updated Comprehensive Plan, they have also acknowledged that present ordinance requirements regarding lot width in the C-1 zone are insufficient to prevent intermittent house conversions. In order to enhance the likelihood of larger and more attractive developments, it is recommended that the proposal be denied or deferred until: 1. The City's updated Comprehensive Plan and accompanying Zoning Ordinance are adequate. 2. A specific development plan for the area has been proposed. Condition No. 2 is a reaffirmation of the policy established by the City Council decision relating to the rezoning of the Brooklyn Center Library property under application No. 76053. In that case, the Council deferred the rezoning of the old slaughterhouse property until a specific development proposal was made. It is also recommended that any rezoning of land between Northport Medical Clinic and the Library to C-1 include the Clinic in order to eliminate its nonconforming status. Based on the foregoing, it is recommended that the rezoning request be denied indicating that consideration is being given for a service/office use of this area in the updated Comprehensive Plan but a rezoning at this time would be premature for the following reasons: 1. Present ordinance requirements are not adequate to prevent intermittent house conversions and insure a larger, quality development. 2. There is no accompanying development proposal to indicate conceptually how the area would be developed. The request is, therefore, purely speculative at this time.
