P/I Form No. 19 PLANNING COMMISSION INFORMATION SHEET Application No. 92015 Applicant: Brookdale Office Park Location: 3300 County Road 10 Request: Special Use Permit The applicant requests special use permit approval on behalf of Cardinal Stritch College to operate an educational use in the five story office building at 3300 County Road 10. The property in question is zoned C-lA (service/office) and is bounded on the north by single family homes, on the east by a companion low-rise office development, on the south by County Road 10, and on the west by Brooklyn Boulevard. An educational use such as the proposed college was found to be a special use in the case of Metro State University. The college presently occupies 2,316 sq. ft. of rentable space on the fourth floor of the office building in question. It took occupancy of the space without a building permit and is seeking special use permit approval after the fact. The applicant's representative, Mr. Bruce Carland, has submitted two brief letters (attached) providing information on the college. He notes that classroom hours of operation are from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Classroom capacity consists of three classrooms of 23 students each for a total capacity of 69. A second letter indicates that 10 to 15 other occupants may be in the building after 5:00 p.m. Since there are approximately 250 parking stalls on the site, there should be no parking problem posed by the college. Mr. Carland explains that Cardinal Stritch College provides working adults with graduate level education in business management and related courses. Most students are working professionals with previous college experience. Mr. Carland states that the college is adequately serviced by the facilities at the Brooklyn Crossing office building and that approval would be consistent with the approval granted to Metro State University for a similar use in the same zone. We agree with the points made by Mr. Carland and would add that, in this case, the occupant load of the classrooms will not overtax the exiting capacity of the building. Therefore, as long as the college remains at its present size, there should be no conflicts with the Building Code. There is room for some expansion of the college, but the precise floor area and occupant load limit depends on where in the building additional classroom space is put. We recommend that the special use permit be limited to the present classroom space and that any expansion or alteration of the use require an amendment to the special use permit. Recommendation Altogether, the requested special use permit appears to be in order. Approval is recommended, subject to at least the following conditions: November 19, 1992 1 e 1. The special use permit is issued to the applicant on behalf of Cardinal Stritch College to operate a night school in the Brooklyn Crossing office building at 3300 County Road 10. The school shall occupy 2,316 sq. ft. of rentable space on the fourth floor as indicated in the applicant's submittal. Any alteration or expansion of the school use within the office building shall require an amendment to this special use permit. 2. The applicant shall receive a sewer availability charge determination from the MWCC and a certificate of occupancy from the Building Official prior to December 31, 1992. 3. Classes shall be held between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. weekdays and on weekends. No weekday daytime classes are acknowledged by this special use permit approval. 4. The special use permit is subject to all applicable codes, ordinances and regulations. Any violation thereof shall be grounds for revocation.

The following information concerning the Cardinal Stritch College operation is provided to establish that the evening adult classroom use is consistent with the current building uses and that the building facilities are capable of servicing the classroom use. Classroom Hours of Operation: The classrooms operate Monday through Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 9:30 PM. Classroom Capacity: Cardinal Stritch College occupies three classrooms at Brooklyn Crossing, each with seating for 23 students, for a maximum capacity of 69 students. The available number of parking spots at Brooklyn Crossing during the classroom hours of operation is in excess of 200 stalls. Student Composition: Cardinal Stritch College provides working adults with graduate level education in business management and related courses. The vast majority of students are working professionals with previous college experience. Review: It is our opinion that the Cardinal Stritch College classrooms located in the Brooklyn Crossing Office Building are adequately serviced by the facilities of the property, and that the student/professionals attending evening classes are suitable to the tenant mix of the building. Brooklyn Center Planning Commission October 23, 1992 Page 2 It also appears that Metro State University was granted a Special Use Permit for a similar use in the same zoning classification at the Brookdale Corporate Center, with restrictions applicable only to daytime classes. For the above reasons we request that a Special Use Permit be recommended by the Planning Commission for the Brooklyn Crossing Office Building to allow Cardinal Stritch College to operate classrooms under an approved use. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. Sincerely, y Bruce Carland Property Manager BC/vb
