RESOLUTION NO.2020-071
RESOLUTION REGARDING THE RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION OF PLANNING
COMMISSION APPLICATION NO.2020-007 FOR SITE AND BUILDING PLAN AND
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT APPROVALS FOR THE
SUBJECT PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2590 FREEWAY BOULEVARD AND KNOWN
COMMONLY AS JAMNIIN' WINGS RESTAURANT
WHEREAS, Planning Commission Application No. 2020-007, submitted by Wayne
Brown of W K Brown, LLC ("the Applicant"), requests review and consideration for approval of a'site and
building plan and amendments to the Planned Unit Development (PUD) for the property located at 2590
Freeway Boulevard and known commonly as Jammin' Wings Restaurant ("the Subject Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Subject Property is currently . zoned PUD/I1 (Planned Unit
Development/Industrial Park) District; and
WHEREAS, the submittal contemplates the expansion and re -branding of an existing
restaurant space to accommodate a new three story, approximately 14,000 square foot restaurant with event
center and related site improvements; and
WHEREAS, the Subject Property was originally developed under Planning Commission
Application No. 96012, which approved the re -zoning of a 13.09 acre site from I1 (Industrial Park) District
to PUD/I1, and approved a site and building plan to develop an 85-room Country Inn and Suites Hotel
(2550 Freeway Boulevard), a TGI Friday's restaurant ("the Subject Property"), and a second restaurant on
the east side of the Country Inn and Suites that was never constructed (2500 Freeway Boulevard), and which
currently serves as an overflow lot for BAPS, located to the east at 2300 Freeway Boulevard; and
WHEREAS, the original approvals noted that, up until 1990, restaurants and hotels were
acknowledged as special uses in the I1 zoning district; however, due to concerns relating to the Special Use
Permit process and its ability to protect the interest and concerns of the City, the Planned Unit Development
process, which was established during this time, was determined to be the appropriate process for
considering any uses other than light industrial and/or service and office land uses within the I1 zoning
district; and
WHEREAS, it was acknowledged in the original approval process for the Subject Property
and two adjacent PUD properties that, while the aforementioned properties were not necessarily unsuited for
light industrial use, it was long believed that these properties would be better suited for a more intense
development due to its visibility and access off the freeway; and
WHEREAS, the Subject Property has functioned as a TGI Friday's (restaurant), Oak City
Sports Tavern (restaurant), and since 2013 as Jammin' Wings (restaurant); and
WHEREAS, on August 13, 2020, the Planning Commission of the City of Brooklyn
Center, Minnesota received and reviewed a planning report for the proposed expansion and re -branding of
the existing restaurant space into a new restaurant concept and event center with related site improvements on
the approximately 3.96 acre Subject Property; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota held a
RESOLUTION NO.2020-071
duly noticed and called public hearing on August 13, 2020, whereby a planning staff report was presented
and public testimony regarding the proposal were received. Notice of such public hearing was published in
the official newspaper and notices were mailed to adjacent property owners as required by City Code, and
notification signage was installed on the Subject Property; and
WHEREAS, City staff reviewed the existing Joint Access and Parking Easement
Agreement between the Subject Property and adjacent Country Inn and Suites to determine whether
sufficient parking was available under the agreement, which allows for reciprocal use of parking and access
facilities between properties, but does not include the third property under the PUD (2500 Freeway
Boulevard), and found that the Applicant will need to either reduce the overall seating occupancy, or
provide an operational plan to ensure minimum parking needs are met for the Subject Property and adjacent
Country Inn and Suites (2550 Freeway Boulevard); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota
considered the requests in light of all testimony received, the guidelines and standards for evaluating site
and building plans under Chapter 35 (Zoning) and specifically Section 35-230 (Plan Approval), and Planned
Unit Developments as contained in Section 35-355 (Planned Unit Development) of the City's Zoning
Code, including compliance with the guidelines for PUDs, and the request generally complies with the
general goals and objectives of the City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
