00:08:59.367 --> 00:09:01.300

Frazier, members of the planning commission for the 00:09:01.300 --> 00:09:04.567

record, Kara Donovan, senior planner with the planning

00:09:04.567 --> 00:09:07.767

division. Tonight I am presenting a preliminary plot.

00:09:07.767 --> 00:09:13.100

Experience and site plan application as case number 00:09:13.100 --> 00:09:16.300

24-116 for BCS African Foods. The applicant proposes a

00:09:16.300 --> 00:09:18.500

building addition with a staging area on a newly created

00:09:18.500 --> 00:09:28.734

lot. The site is located at Brooklyn Boulevard and Kentucky 00:09:28.734 --> 00:09:35.634

Avenue just east of West Broadway. The subject property 00:09:35.634 --> 00:09:38.734

is 1.02 acres and abutt’s commercial property to the west,

00:09:38.734 --> 00:09:46.233

south and east, and single family houses to the north. The 00:09:46.233 --> 00:09:48.166

parcel is zoned transit-oriented development

00:09:48.166 --> 00:09:51.567

center District or a TODC. The properties to the west, south 00:09:51.567 --> 00:09:56.367

and east are also zoned to ODC and the areas to the north are

00:09:56.367 --> 00:10:02.233

zoned detached single family estate district or R1. The 00:10:02.233 --> 00:10:04.834

applicant is requesting approval for a preliminary plot

00:10:04.834 --> 00:10:11.367

for the creation of one lot as seen on the screen. The site 00:10:11.367 --> 00:10:14.000

plan depicts the existing building on the western side of

00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:18.233

the property, parking lot and Frontage Road. The site plan

00:10:18.233 --> 00:10:20.834

application proposes a building addition for dry storage on the 00:10:20.834 --> 00:10:23.767

north side of the existing building, which includes a

00:10:23.767 --> 00:10:28.000

staging area for an overhead door. The site plan indicates 2

00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.634

parking stalls will remain on the property, including one ADA 00:10:30.634 --> 00:10:37.467

parking stall. The applicant provided elevations so the show

00:10:37.467 --> 00:10:40.634

the architecture of the proposed building. One staging 00:10:40.634 --> 00:10:42.834

area adjacent to an overhead door is proposed on the east

00:10:42.834 --> 00:10:46.133

face of the building addition, and you can see that on the top

00:10:46.133 --> 00:10:50.233

image on the right side, and that line indicates um to the 00:10:50.233 --> 00:10:52.133

left is the existing building and to the right is the

00:10:52.133 --> 00:10:58.300

addition. Um, this staging area requires a variance as the

00:10:58.300 --> 00:10:59.867

proposed staging area is between the building and the

00:10:59.867 --> 00:11:05.767

right of way, which is not allowed in our our code. The 00:11:05.767 --> 00:11:08.467

variants request requires the three-factor test, the first of

00:11:08.467 --> 00:11:12.200

which is reasonableness and asks, is the use practical? Um, 00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:14.800

the proposed staging area for this application is reasonable

00:11:14.800 --> 00:11:18.634

to support the existing business, BCS African Foods.

00:11:18.634 --> 00:11:21.500

The applicant um proposed a screening for the staging area 00:11:21.500 --> 00:11:25.467

on the north and the east sides of the building or of the, yeah,

00:11:25.467 --> 00:11:28.767

of the property, um, to reduce the visibility of that staging

00:11:28.767 --> 00:11:33.000

area from the public rights of way. The second test is 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.734

uniqueness are the uh circumstances on that property

00:11:35.734 --> 00:11:39.900

unique, and yes, so the property is bordered on the

00:11:39.900 --> 00:11:43.266

south by a road, the east by a different road and on the north, 00:11:43.266 --> 00:11:46.367

there isn’t a road, so there are 3 roads fronting the

00:11:46.367 --> 00:11:50.367

property which limit the, um, ability to add a, uh, a staging 00:11:50.367 --> 00:11:57.033

area. The third question is the essential characteristic of the

00:11:57.033 --> 00:12:00.800

neighborhood with this request be um changing the neighborhood 00:12:00.800 --> 00:12:04.033

of the uh characteristics. Um, this application would not

00:12:04.033 --> 00:12:06.166

alter the character of the neighborhood, the proposed

00:12:06.166 --> 00:12:09.767

building addition, both height and architectural materials are,

00:12:09.767 --> 00:12:17.767

um, similar, if not matching the existing building. Staff 00:12:17.767 --> 00:12:20.500

recommend approval of the preliminary plot variants and 00:12:20.500 --> 00:12:23.734

site plan with conditions as listed in the draft resolutions,

00:12:23.734 --> 00:12:29.033

and this concludes staff’s presentation. You Is the

00:12:29.033 --> 00:12:31.133

applicant here tonight? The applicant is available on the 00:12:31.133 --> 00:12:38.767

teams. On teams? Yes. Uh, would you like to speak to this, uh,

00:12:38.767 --> 00:12:44.667

name is John. Can everyone hear me? Yes Um So thank you for for 00:12:53.100 --> 00:12:57.100

hearing us today. Um, Business is, uh, the business is growing.

00:12:57.100 --> 00:13:04.300

He needs some additional uh storage, dry storage. um 00:13:04.300 --> 00:13:11.367

property And, um, he has a, he does have a unique site. with 00:13:11.367 --> 00:13:15.767

special challenges. Um, but I believe what we’ve designed and

00:13:15.767 --> 00:13:22.467

planned. Is a is a great solution. So we welcome The 00:13:22.467 --> 00:13:27.567

chance to work with City of Brooklyn Park. Thank you. Thank

00:13:27.567 --> 00:13:40.033

you. Open it up for the public hearing is the, are there 00:13:40.033 --> 00:13:43.100

anyone from the public that would like to comment on this

00:13:43.100 --> 00:13:49.734

application. And none will close the public hearing and

00:13:49.734 --> 00:13:56.000

bring it back to the commission. I do have one question 00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:00.266

regarding the parking, um, I saw that you are going to be 00:14:00.266 --> 00:14:04.567

removing 11 existing parking stall, and I was wondering what

00:14:04.567 --> 00:14:08.934

the uh rationale is there and, and how does that impact uh the

00:14:08.934 --> 00:14:17.500

uh Customer, um, Requirements for, for parking. Can answer 00:14:17.500 --> 00:14:19.533

from staff’s perspective and then pass it to the applicant

00:14:19.533 --> 00:14:24.900

if they would like to address. Oh, I’m sorry. Um, was for 00:14:24.900 --> 00:14:27.367

staff parking only. Because it’s towards the rear of the

00:14:27.367 --> 00:14:34.567

site. Um, the staff is typically 3 to 4, or I should 00:14:34.567 --> 00:14:41.533

say 3 to 5. Um, in any given shift. Um And I was just 00:14:41.533 --> 00:14:46.166

looking at the site plan. Additional, there’s there’s

00:14:46.166 --> 00:14:50.033

parking on the front. which faces Brooklyn Boulevard. And 00:14:50.033 --> 00:14:54.834

then There’s also additional parking that’s not shown on the

00:14:54.834 --> 00:15:00.867

site plan. On the east side. Just directly attached to that 00:15:00.867 --> 00:15:06.233

sidewalk. So there are Parking on the south. parking on the

00:15:06.233 --> 00:15:13.000

east. The parking to the north is being reduced. But that 00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:19.367

parking on the north is for employees only. And again, the,

00:15:19.367 --> 00:15:25.834

the, the project is. retail in nature. And the addition I, uh, 00:15:25.834 --> 00:15:30.734

is dry storage. So we’re not We’re not welcoming any 00:15:30.734 --> 00:15:36.467

additional patrons. Uh, it’s, it’s, and the employee count

00:15:36.467 --> 00:15:40.800

will stay the same. Does that answer your question? Yes, 00:15:40.800 --> 00:15:49.233

thank you. Does anyone have any questions, comments? I have a

00:15:49.233 --> 00:16:01.000

question. Meeror Um, uh, it is on. Can you hear me? Um One of 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:04.734

the comments is that you’re proposing, oh, I lost my spot.

00:16:04.734 --> 00:16:10.233

Um Proposing screening for the staging area to attempt to 00:16:10.233 --> 00:16:12.834

reduce visibility from the public rights of way. What type

00:16:12.834 --> 00:16:21.200

of screening would you be proposing? Um, thanks for the 00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:25.000

great question. I, I, it was hard to hear, but I think you

00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:28.367

asked what sort of screening we were planning. And that would

00:16:28.367 --> 00:16:44.467

be landscape and plantings. OK. Thank you. So, yeah, there’s a 00:16:44.467 --> 00:16:49.033

quick follow up question on this, uh, so is this gonna be

00:16:49.033 --> 00:16:51.467

an addition? Is it going to be what’s going to put it is going 00:16:51.467 --> 00:16:55.166

to be attached to the existing building, uh, is that a

00:16:55.166 --> 00:16:59.634

separate? construction altogether. Did you did you

00:16:59.634 --> 00:17:03.400

hear it? Yeah, if you could repeat that, that would be 00:17:03.400 --> 00:17:07.867

great. Is the addition going to be attached to the existing

00:17:07.867 --> 00:17:13.100

structure, or is it going to be a separate building. It is, it 00:17:13.100 --> 00:17:18.900

is directly attached, um, er, can you bring up The um If you

00:17:18.900 --> 00:17:24.400

have a floor plan or that east elevation. Yes, let me pull the 00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:32.233

east elevation. up. So the existing is labeled At the the 00:17:32.233 --> 00:17:37.033

the the top drawing, which is the proposed east elevation.

00:17:37.033 --> 00:17:42.166

The left side of that is is the existing store. And the right 00:17:42.166 --> 00:17:46.166

side of that. is the proposed edition. Showing the overhead

00:17:46.166 --> 00:17:54.634

door. OK. And uh secondly, is this uh how, how do you see the 00:17:54.634 --> 00:17:58.000

thing, how do you see this now because that’s a business

00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:03.300

location. How do you, how do you think it was part The 00:18:03.300 --> 00:18:06.367

customers coming into that area because I, I’ve visited a few

00:18:06.367 --> 00:18:15.000

times. And Looking at apologize I couldn’t make that up. I’ll, 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:18.667

I’ll repeat the question. Can you finish. No, what I was

00:18:18.667 --> 00:18:23.233

trying to ask here is how would this impact Customs that are 00:18:23.233 --> 00:18:27.800

coming in and out of that place because if I got you right,

00:18:27.800 --> 00:18:32.634

you’re gonna be reducing parking stalls. And Even the 00:18:32.634 --> 00:18:36.266

way the existing. Location right now in the parking is not

00:18:36.266 --> 00:18:42.467

out there. Great. Great question. Kara, could you go 00:18:42.467 --> 00:18:52.834

back to the site plan? Is that what you need? The site plans. 00:18:52.834 --> 00:19:00.367

Perfect. So As I mentioned, there is parking. On the south, 00:19:00.367 --> 00:19:05.166

which is shown on the site plan. And there is existing parking.

00:19:05.166 --> 00:19:10.500

Which is for some reason is not indicated on this site plan. 00:19:10.500 --> 00:19:15.867

But it is along the east. Side of the building. Um, and again,

00:19:15.867 --> 00:19:23.367

we’re, we’re not increasing. Uh, any pat patronage. So the 00:19:23.367 --> 00:19:31.300

parking count for to the public. does not need to change. OK, 00:19:31.300 --> 00:19:39.900

thank you. Commissioner, thank you. Uh, this is for, for staff

00:19:39.900 --> 00:19:44.800

maybe uh to um. Respond to there is a letter from, you 00:19:44.800 --> 00:19:51.100

know, the Hennepin County uh looked into. A comment from 00:19:51.100 --> 00:19:57.000

accessibility point of view and And also this is, you know,

00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:00.800

adjacent or close to Metro Blue Line extension project that 00:20:00.800 --> 00:20:07.100

might be coming. So Still, there are pending items uh till

00:20:07.100 --> 00:20:12.000

they get a final play, you know, play. But how is stuff, you 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:15.133

know, they didn’t give a concluded, you know,

00:20:15.133 --> 00:20:20.000

recommendation rather they have questions. So how did the staff 00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:25.367

look into that and. And uh this uh. You know, that’s really the

00:20:25.367 --> 00:20:29.667

main corridor where the blue line extension comes through

00:20:29.667 --> 00:20:34.934

and if we are really converting a parking lots, that’s gonna 00:20:34.934 --> 00:20:38.767

reduce, you know, the parking availability for The station

00:20:38.767 --> 00:20:43.767

where, you know, people park for future use, so. What’s, uh, 00:20:43.767 --> 00:20:48.767

what’s uh. remark from that point of view. Thank you, Vice

00:20:48.767 --> 00:20:50.900

Chair and planning commissioners. So there’s a 00:20:50.900 --> 00:20:54.667

couple of points, um, so the Hennepin County, uh, Platte

00:20:54.667 --> 00:20:59.467

review did request or um suggest that a sidewalk be

00:20:59.467 --> 00:21:02.100

extended from West Broadway or um Brooklyn Boulevard, which is 00:21:02.100 --> 00:21:05.767

on the south where there is an existing sidewalk up north to

00:21:05.767 --> 00:21:09.233

connect, uh, pedestrians. This is a suggestion and not it’s

00:21:09.233 --> 00:21:12.634

not required. Um, and I believe that the applicant is looking 00:21:12.634 --> 00:21:17.567

into, uh, whether or not they want to pursue that from a blue

00:21:17.567 --> 00:21:20.166

line extension perspective, it is quite close to the station, 00:21:20.166 --> 00:21:24.100

but staff do not have a, uh, the ability to require sidewalk

00:21:24.100 --> 00:21:26.634

to be installed on Kentucky Avenue North because it’s not

00:21:26.634 --> 00:21:30.467

an arterial, that is the, the trigger, the requirement to 00:21:30.467 --> 00:21:34.200

request a sidewalk. Um, I’ll also note that for the blue

00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:36.934

line extension we will not be allowing folks to park at

00:21:36.934 --> 00:21:39.767

private businesses to then walk to the station and use the

00:21:39.767 --> 00:21:50.266

train. With the So the existing parcel, the entire parcel, the 00:21:50.266 --> 00:21:55.634

5000. Square foot that’s owned by same owner. I believe that

00:21:55.634 --> 00:21:59.867

the property is owned by uh BCS African Foods, yes. OK Thank

00:21:59.867 --> 00:22:19.500

you. Thank you. Yeah Hi, I just have a quick question, um. It 00:22:19.500 --> 00:22:24.300

says here that the applicant must provide a landscape plan 00:22:24.300 --> 00:22:28.667

that meets screening requirements outlined in 152.

00:22:28.667 --> 00:22:38.200

1024B. Why wasn’t that? Included, why is that uh Uh, 00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:42.467

why, why, why, why was that excluded, uh, from being 00:22:42.467 --> 00:22:46.367

considered. At the moment. Yes, thank you, commissioners. Um,

00:22:46.367 --> 00:22:50.100

this is a good question. So we had a review by the fire 00:22:50.100 --> 00:22:53.166

department and the fire department required that the

00:22:53.166 --> 00:22:55.767

trash enclosure be moved 5 ft from the building. So that was

00:22:55.767 --> 00:22:59.100

part of the reason that the vegetation, uh, screening was

00:22:59.100 --> 00:23:03.367

not required or not originally indicated, um, just north of 00:23:03.367 --> 00:23:05.734

the staging area, um, and I believe that the applicant can

00:23:05.734 --> 00:23:09.734

correct me if I’m wrong on this, but their landscape, um.

00:23:09.734 --> 00:23:13.000

Designer could not turn around our comments in time for this 00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:15.166

meeting, but they will be required to meet those

00:23:15.166 --> 00:23:18.767

standards before a city council approves. And so there’s a

00:23:18.767 --> 00:23:20.367

couple of different requirements, one of which is 00:23:20.367 --> 00:23:25.166

that they need to provide vegetation with the, um, at

00:23:25.166 --> 00:23:28.033

least 80% opacity at 3 ft height, and then also, um, on

00:23:28.033 --> 00:23:30.500

those two sides on Kentucky Avenue North and Kentucky 00:23:30.500 --> 00:23:43.834

Circle North. Thank you. And. Go ahead, Commissioner Cain. 00:23:43.834 --> 00:23:49.100

All right, thank you. And this is for the, the, the staff, um,

00:23:49.100 --> 00:23:53.467

so with this addition, uh, we are probably adding a little 00:23:53.467 --> 00:24:00.367

more uh 30% add to the existing building. I, uh, I recall and 00:24:00.367 --> 00:24:07.900

um I thought in our uh Guidelines and standards uh

00:24:07.900 --> 00:24:11.634

that um uh uh an applicant would have to meet the, the new 00:24:11.634 --> 00:24:15.300

design criteria for the exterior. Which I, I forget

00:24:15.300 --> 00:24:19.133

what the, the colors and the, the brick and things of that

00:24:19.133 --> 00:24:24.533

nature, uh. Is my question is, is, uh, uh, does this not apply? 00:24:24.533 --> 00:24:33.634

Thank you, um, Curhan, um, this, so The architectural standards 00:24:33.634 --> 00:24:38.767

do have class 1 and class 2 materials, would prefer that

00:24:38.767 --> 00:24:41.200

the applicant have matching materials to the existing 00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:44.734

building, as opposed to providing materials that don’t

00:24:44.734 --> 00:24:47.533

match the existing building to keep, to to to talk about the

00:24:47.533 --> 00:24:50.734

variants to keep in context with the existing, um, 00:24:50.734 --> 00:24:59.667

neighborhood. OK, great. And my second question and uh this is

00:24:59.667 --> 00:25:06.000

just uh um Uh, respectfully, just, just my own the uh 00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:11.100

concern here, uh, about the, uh, uh, current development related 00:25:11.100 --> 00:25:16.667

fees outline in the section 2.0. Uh, specifically the, you know,

00:25:16.667 --> 00:25:21.467

73,000, uh, you know, approximate development bond of 00:25:21.467 --> 00:25:27.634

the 3800 cash bond,,,, 2300 escrow and $8000 and park

00:25:27.634 --> 00:25:33.767

dedication fees. Well, I, uh, understand the, the intent 00:25:33.767 --> 00:25:37.166

behind those requirements to protect, you know, the city and

00:25:37.166 --> 00:25:44.500

ensure quality development. Seems like, uh, we should 00:25:44.500 --> 00:25:46.767

reexamine the unintended the consequences for a small

00:25:46.767 --> 00:25:52.000

business owners. Particularly those that are looking to 00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:55.200

reinvest and uh their existing properties, right? So here’s a,

00:25:55.200 --> 00:26:00.500

here’s a small business owner that uh is want to reinvest in 00:26:00.500 --> 00:26:04.800

the city and uh, you know, we, we are putting, you know,

00:26:04.800 --> 00:26:07.634

additional costs on the cost burden that, you know, I don’t

00:26:07.634 --> 00:26:12.834

know if it’s, it’s, you know, necessary, so if we want to be 00:26:12.834 --> 00:26:16.500

a city where small business can thrive, you know, I think we

00:26:16.500 --> 00:26:20.767

need to either lower the threshold for participation. or 00:26:20.767 --> 00:26:23.467

not just through incentives, but rethinking how our fee

00:26:23.467 --> 00:26:28.400

structure, uh, Uh, reflects projects, uh, at scale, things

00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:32.634

of that nature. So, I just proposed that uh we direct 00:26:32.634 --> 00:26:37.300

staff to review the bonding and dedication fee structure to

00:26:37.300 --> 00:26:41.634

assess whether exemptions or Reductions or scale models 00:26:41.634 --> 00:26:44.834

could better support small business reinvestment without

00:26:44.834 --> 00:26:51.400

compromising the city financial, uh, safeguards, so. Um I don’t 00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:55.166

know if uh, you know, if we could uh have someone go review

00:26:55.166 --> 00:26:59.233

that. But to me, it’s just a burden that we want small

00:26:59.233 --> 00:27:03.467

businesses to thrive in Brooklyn Park and to, to 00:27:03.467 --> 00:27:07.300

continue to uh invest in Brooklyn Park, uh, why the

00:27:07.300 --> 00:27:12.033

additional burden on them, so. Thank you, Chair Keen, um, uh, 00:27:12.033 --> 00:27:15.367

First of all, I think staff agrees. Um, we were just

00:27:15.367 --> 00:27:19.033

talking about that earlier today. Um, so I appreciate that

00:27:19.033 --> 00:27:21.634

comment and we will take a look internally and get back to the 00:27:21.634 --> 00:27:23.867

planning commission on that topic. I appreciate it. Thank

00:27:23.867 --> 00:27:35.667

you. Any other questions, comments? Um, I just have one 00:27:35.667 --> 00:27:40.734

quick question, um. I see here we are told to consider 3 00:27:40.734 --> 00:27:47.834

motions. Uh, you know, in order to approve this, uh. Project Uh,

00:27:47.834 --> 00:27:51.767

why, why 3 motions. Why couldn’t that have been 00:27:51.767 --> 00:27:54.734

consolidated into one motion. Um, you know, you know, just

00:27:54.734 --> 00:28:00.166

piggybacking on uh. You know, you know, uh. Question, 00:28:00.166 --> 00:28:03.900

concerns, you know, because it looks it looks like um the uh

00:28:03.900 --> 00:28:08.133

applicant has to jump through 3 hoops. To to to get this done,

00:28:08.133 --> 00:28:11.033

um, you know, again, you know, like I said, I’m following up 00:28:11.033 --> 00:28:15.634

why. These 3 hoops. Why don’t you, you know, simplify it so,

00:28:15.634 --> 00:28:19.834

so that the applicants. could just come in here and and and

00:28:19.834 --> 00:28:24.200

and get it done by one simple motion and you know. Thank you, 00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:27.300

Vice Chair and members of the planning commission, um, I

00:28:27.300 --> 00:28:30.100

appreciate that comment, uh, these are 3 separate 00:28:30.100 --> 00:28:33.734

applications with their own requirements and, um, you as

00:28:33.734 --> 00:28:36.000

the planning commission could approve one, but not others,

00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:39.000

and so they have to be separate resolutions that are also taken

00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:52.467

to city council. Thank you. Any other questions and comments? 00:28:52.467 --> 00:29:01.000

evening, acting Chair Frasier, members of the planning

00:32:24.133 --> 00:32:26.800

commission, uh, for the record, Matt Hayes Regan, associate

00:32:26.800 --> 00:32:33.634

planner. Uh, presenting Bap’s Temple, uh, Debile 25,110. I’m 00:32:33.634 --> 00:32:39.266

coming in for two conditional use permit applications. Um, so

00:32:39.266 --> 00:32:44.133

this is just a general location map, um Baps Temple has 00:32:44.133 --> 00:32:49.500

submitted CUP applications to use 8700 Wyoming Avenue North

00:32:49.500 --> 00:32:53.767

as a religious institution and for the operation of a rectory 00:32:53.767 --> 00:32:57.667

as an exclusive accessory use to that religious institution.

00:32:57.667 --> 00:33:02.834

Um, here you can see according to the general location map on 00:33:02.834 --> 00:33:06.000

at the property location is just northwest of eighty-fifth

00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:16.233

and West Broadway. So 8700 Wyoming Avenue North is one 00:33:16.233 --> 00:33:20.000

parcel located in the Enterprise Park edition. Uh, 00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:24.934

Enterprise Park was established in October 1991. A CUP allowing

00:33:24.934 --> 00:33:28.000

the operation of a religious institution has not been

00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:35.367

previously granted for this property. This map shows the 00:33:35.367 --> 00:33:40.166

zoning districts of adjacent properties, uh, in relation to 00:33:40.166 --> 00:33:42.567

uh 8700 Wyoming Avenue North, uh, as you can see from this

00:33:42.567 --> 00:33:47.634

map, uh, zoning designations of the adjacent properties include

00:33:47.634 --> 00:33:52.467

multiple family R4 district to the east and business park to 00:33:52.467 --> 00:34:00.400

the southwest and north. Now this is an overview of the 00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:03.567

city’s criteria for applicants, uh, when submitting CUP

00:34:03.567 --> 00:34:06.400

applications. Um, as you can see in the attachments that

00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:10.100

were included in the staff report, uh, Babs Temple has 00:34:10.100 --> 00:34:16.500

satisfied these requirements. So included in the applica uh

00:34:16.500 --> 00:34:22.100

applicants submittal was, um. Two different uh architectural 00:34:22.100 --> 00:34:27.166

analysis is done. Um, so Bab’s Temple is proposing to use uh

00:34:27.166 --> 00:34:31.900

existing utilities on, on the site conditions on this 00:34:31.900 --> 00:34:34.033

property because no alterations are being proposed to the

00:34:34.033 --> 00:34:37.934

exterior of the property. Um, and I Architectural analysis

00:34:37.934 --> 00:34:41.567

was the scope of the plan set for the CUP application. This 00:34:41.567 --> 00:34:45.400

is versus a formal site plan. Um, the exterior renderings

00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:50.634

include a site summary, which include a site area of 8.71 00:34:50.634 --> 00:34:54.500

acres, 232 parking spaces and a screen waste enclosure. I’m

00:34:54.500 --> 00:34:58.734

just a note about the parking spaces is Steph has reviewed on

00:34:58.734 --> 00:35:02.467

the parking spaces against the number counts um that were 00:35:02.467 --> 00:35:05.100

included in the staff reports and provided by the applicant,

00:35:05.100 --> 00:35:08.767

and there’s more than sufficient parking demands, um,

00:35:08.767 --> 00:35:12.367

at peak times, um. For the applicants in their proposed 00:35:12.367 --> 00:35:20.500

use. Uh, this is an interior rendering, um, which also 00:35:20.500 --> 00:35:23.634

includes a code summary, included, uh, in the

00:35:23.634 --> 00:35:27.033

anticipated areas, um, is, but they’re proposing as a, as a

00:35:27.033 --> 00:35:31.166

rectory, uh, staff from the city’s building fire and 00:35:31.166 --> 00:35:33.834

engineering departments have approved the rendering

00:35:33.834 --> 00:35:37.033

submitted for this specific application with the

00:35:37.033 --> 00:35:39.734

understanding that additional review will take place when a

00:35:39.734 --> 00:35:45.100

building permit application is submitted for a staff review. 00:35:45.100 --> 00:35:48.834

So again, just an overview, I know commissioners, you’ve seen

00:35:48.834 --> 00:35:52.033

this before, uh, but religious institutions are conditional 00:35:52.033 --> 00:35:57.467

use in the business park district, uh, pursuant to

00:35:57.467 --> 00:36:01.200

Section 152305 of the zoning code, uh, the listed factors 00:36:01.200 --> 00:36:04.467

are used when making a determination on a conditional

00:36:04.467 --> 00:36:07.500

use permit application. Planning staff have reviewed

00:36:07.500 --> 00:36:10.734

the plan against these requirements and uh staff has 00:36:10.734 --> 00:36:17.100

determined that the requirements have been met.

00:36:17.100 --> 00:36:22.567

slide does give and um. An application analysis, uh, 00:36:22.567 --> 00:36:26.367

against the CUP application. So you do see how a religious

00:36:26.367 --> 00:36:29.000

institution is defined, uh, in the zoning code. You also see

00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:36.400

table, and I’ll just move this up, um, table 152.609.1. Uh 00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:39.567

this outlines the principal uses in non-residential

00:36:39.567 --> 00:36:43.400

districts. Uh, the business park district is located in a 00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:46.033

non-residential district. You can see, uh, just from my

00:36:46.033 --> 00:36:48.800

highlights there, where religious institution is listed

00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:52.734

as a condition. use, as well as uh directory is listed as a 00:36:52.734 --> 00:36:57.233

conditional use. And then just a caveat about rectories is

00:36:57.233 --> 00:37:02.567

that they are allowed as an exclu exclusive accessory use 00:37:02.567 --> 00:37:05.500

to religious institutions, um, so when you’re reviewing your

00:37:05.500 --> 00:37:08.900

staff report, you saw that the CUP was drafted and, and the

00:37:08.900 --> 00:37:12.100

CUPs were drafted in a way that it would, um, first be granting 00:37:12.100 --> 00:37:15.367

one for the religious institution, and then the

00:37:15.367 --> 00:37:26.000

rectory contingent to that. So this first slide um is the 00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:32.367

conditions of approval for the religious institution? And then 00:37:32.367 --> 00:37:35.567

the second slide, um, again is the conditions of approval for

00:37:35.567 --> 00:37:40.467

a rectory. Um, again, this, uh, CUP and these conditions here 00:37:40.467 --> 00:37:43.734

on the slide are subject to the requirements and the approval

00:37:43.734 --> 00:37:52.100

of the previous uh CUP that was listed on the last slide. With 00:37:52.100 --> 00:37:54.834

that staff’s recommendation, uh, is approval of both conditional

00:37:54.834 --> 00:37:58.100

use permits, one for the operation of a religious

00:37:58.100 --> 00:38:01.767

institution, and then the second, um, for an operation of 00:38:01.767 --> 00:38:06.634

of a rectory inside of that religious institution. With

00:38:06.634 --> 00:38:09.367

that, that, uh, concludes staff’s report, and I’ll stand

00:38:09.367 --> 00:38:13.000

for any questions. Thank you. Do we have the applicant here 00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:17.767

tonight? I would like to speak um we do have members, um, yep,

00:38:17.767 --> 00:38:19.634

from the applicant team and then also just when the public

we’ve been in Brooklyn Center for about more than 22 years.

00:39:17.533 --> 00:39:21.533

Uh, we have a conditional use permit there as well. It’s an 00:39:21.533 --> 00:39:25.033

even we do a lot of community work too, like we have been

doing walkathons for the past 25 years that have benefited a

00:39:38.934 --> 00:39:43.233

lot of organizations like the American Cancer Society, the 00:39:43.233 --> 00:39:47.000

Susan Komen Foundation, uh, Nature Conservancy, and even

00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:50.734

health. s etc. Uh, while we have good memories, uh, of, uh,

00:39:59.734 --> 00:40:02.533

uh, living in Brooklyn Center. We love the neighborhood, but 00:40:02.533 --> 00:40:06.166

we’ve outgrown and we need to expand. So we’re looking for a

00:40:06.166 --> 00:40:09.934

bigger facility, um, that meets our needs and the city of

00:40:09.934 --> 00:40:12.800

Brooklyn Center has been very kind and we worked very closely 00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:16.300

with them and they are giving us a letter of recommendation.

00:40:16.300 --> 00:40:19.567

Uh, so we looked at a lot of places around the Twin Cities,

00:40:19.567 --> 00:40:23.367

because we have membership all over the Twin Cities, uh, uh, 00:40:23.367 --> 00:40:25.900

and after a great deal of research, we found this

00:40:25.900 --> 00:40:30.233

building, the said property on 8700 Wyoming, which meets all 00:40:30.233 --> 00:40:35.000

our needs in terms of the size, uh, the height, uh, the parking,

00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:39.166

the neighborhood is great, and uh it’s easy access from the

00:40:39.166 --> 00:40:43.133

highways, so, uh, and meets our current and future needs, so 00:40:43.133 --> 00:40:45.233

we’re really excited and we look forward to being a part of

00:40:45.233 --> 00:41:00.767

this community. So thank you very much. Thank you. We’re 00:41:00.767 --> 00:41:07.133

proposed site. Um, question I have is how, how busy. Is the I

00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:41.934

mean, yeah, being that you’re on this uh call now, you could 00:41:41.934 --> 00:41:45.166

00:41:48.900 --> 00:41:56.734

want me to answer that question specifically or wait till all. 00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:10.100

Questions have been answered. Answer that one. Do we have 00:42:10.100 --> 00:42:22.934

anyone else that would like to comment. to none will. closed 00:42:22.934 --> 00:42:28.166

the public hearing. And you can address the question. Excellent.

00:42:28.166 --> 00:42:33.500

Um, thank you, uh, again, acting Chair Frazier. Um, so we 00:42:33.500 --> 00:42:36.734

did get number counts, um, and we can certainly provide those,

00:42:36.734 --> 00:42:41.567

um, if somebody did not receive those, um, but according to the 00:42:41.567 --> 00:42:45.400

applicant, um, Babs Temple anticipates 10 to 20 people, uh,

00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:48.734

for their weekday morning and evening services, and then

00:42:48.734 --> 00:42:52.767

Sunday services, uh, schedule anticipates 200 to 300 people 00:42:52.767 --> 00:42:57.367

between 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. um, they do anticipate traffic

00:42:57.367 --> 00:43:01.300

during these hours. to be minimal, um, as most members 00:43:01.300 --> 00:43:05.100

travel to and from, uh, the temple as families typically

00:43:05.100 --> 00:43:09.467

with 3 to 4 per vehicle. I can also just say that the city’s

00:43:09.467 --> 00:43:11.467

transportation engineer to review these number counts that 00:43:11.467 --> 00:43:16.233

did not have any concerns based off of the figures provided.

00:43:16.233 --> 00:43:23.467

Thank you. All right, we’ll bring it back to the commission. 00:43:23.467 --> 00:43:30.867

Uh, any questions, comments? I have a question. Commissioner 00:43:30.867 --> 00:43:40.233

Cain. Um And review of the interior uh plan, um, just 00:43:40.233 --> 00:43:43.634

curious with uh uh rectory. I, yeah, maybe it’s designed

00:43:43.634 --> 00:43:48.300

within the plan, but I thought, uh, with the rectory that uh

00:43:48.300 --> 00:43:52.634

you needed a, uh, you know, private bedroom, a full 00:43:52.634 --> 00:43:58.400

bathroom and shower, kitchen access, um, Um, kind of a

00:43:58.400 --> 00:44:04.767

living and, you know, seating area and then I thought the um 00:44:04.767 --> 00:44:08.100

The, uh, heating and ventilation has got to be kind

00:44:08.100 --> 00:44:12.367

of separate from, uh, uh, uh, from the overall building 00:44:12.367 --> 00:44:18.100

perspective. Is that true and do they have plans to have a

00:44:18.100 --> 00:44:22.033

separate, if you will, if you will, living quarters within um 00:44:22.033 --> 00:44:26.166

the space. Acting Char Frazier, uh, members of the planning

00:44:26.166 --> 00:44:29.867

commission, we do have a member from the architecture team if,

00:44:29.867 --> 00:44:32.567

are you willing to speak to that. I, I can’t say from the 00:44:32.567 --> 00:44:35.834

building side that this will come in for a building permit

00:44:35.834 --> 00:44:38.367

review, um, and what is a requirement as one of the

00:44:38.367 --> 00:44:42.300

conditions is a change of occupancy, um, as part of this 00:44:42.300 --> 00:44:47.000

application, um, but I, I will defer to the architectural team

00:44:47.000 --> 00:45:03.500

that we have here. like Uh, Oh, I’m I’m. Sorry. Hello, I’m Dan 00:45:03.500 --> 00:45:05.500

Pelenan from Tushi Montgomery Architects out of Ridgefield,

00:45:05.500 --> 00:45:10.634

Minnesota. Uh, working with Bab Simple and, uh, what we have 00:45:10.634 --> 00:45:14.734

right now, um, What we’re really trying to do is get the

00:45:14.734 --> 00:45:17.867

approval of the use on the building. Uh, if the approval

00:45:17.867 --> 00:45:22.266

of the use was not, uh, granted. They would not want to spend 00:45:22.266 --> 00:45:26.400

all the money uh for uh architectural plans and

00:45:26.400 --> 00:45:30.200

engineering plans and, and things like that. So, The plan 00:45:30.200 --> 00:45:35.000

that you see right now on, in your packet, uh, the floor plan

00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:38.266

is the existing building. Uh, we will be going through full

00:45:38.266 --> 00:45:43.133

architectural, uh, Drawings, uh, and getting their program, 00:45:43.133 --> 00:45:47.834

getting the, the rectory, uh, done, all the exiting, uh, and

00:45:47.834 --> 00:45:51.734

everything else. The exterior of the building, uh, at, at, at 00:45:51.734 --> 00:45:56.900

this time just is gonna remain the same. So the interior plan

00:45:56.900 --> 00:46:03.934

will be, will come as through the building department. makes 00:46:03.934 --> 00:46:17.166

sense. I like that strategy. Any other, any others. No. 00:46:17.166 --> 00:46:28.367

mission at Waco Thank you. Uh, one. Owned by This gonna be 00:46:28.367 --> 00:46:34.233

under lease or is it gonna be owned by the. example. Acting 00:46:34.233 --> 00:46:36.900

Char Frazier, members of the planning commission. It is the

00:46:36.900 --> 00:46:43.900

applicant’s intent to purchase the property. to purchases. OK. 00:46:43.900 --> 00:46:49.233

Is already acquired or is it’s in the process just. You know

00:46:49.233 --> 00:47:04.734

it is in the process of being acquired. Oh, thank you. 00:47:04.734 --> 00:47:14.000

question. OK Um, businesses in this building or is this empty 00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:18.767

and you’re taking the whole thing like. Um, I didn’t share

00:47:18.767 --> 00:47:22.567

Fraser, um, members of the planning commission, um, they 00:47:22.567 --> 00:47:33.500

would have exclusive occupancy. For this use. commissioner. 00:47:33.500 --> 00:47:37.166

Yeah, I know you said a line there, but uh I just wanted to

00:47:37.166 --> 00:47:42.667

know, um. The, the, the building look the the location 00:47:42.667 --> 00:47:46.367

of the building. How is this surrounded the neighborhood and

00:47:46.367 --> 00:47:51.166

the same instead of business. The entire areas of business 00:47:51.166 --> 00:47:54.100

location or there’s residential as well. It does, um, I can

00:47:54.100 --> 00:48:06.767

pull up. This is the best illustration. Um, so the, um, 00:48:06.767 --> 00:48:10.900

items you see highlighted in pink, those are businesses, um, 00:48:10.900 --> 00:48:13.767

usually Monday through Friday, um, for those that are adjacent

00:48:13.767 --> 00:48:17.834

to the the um. Property we’re discussing, and then you do

00:48:17.834 --> 00:48:21.500

have a town home community in that residential for that 00:48:21.500 --> 00:48:24.400

multiple family district, um, behind them. Or what would be

00:48:24.400 --> 00:48:31.266

to the east. OK, so, um, How is access to that location? Have 00:48:31.266 --> 00:48:36.567

you guys look at it in and out of the, the Location because if

00:48:36.567 --> 00:48:41.634

if I see this, I mean, I I I You know, it’s religious areas 00:48:41.634 --> 00:48:45.233

so they were going to be in and out. Several times a day,

00:48:45.233 --> 00:48:51.867

pretty much. So how is the The traffic going in and out of 00:48:51.867 --> 00:48:56.467

that. Location acting Frazier, members of the planning

00:48:56.467 --> 00:49:00.634

commission. So, um, the in and out of um access to the 00:49:00.634 --> 00:49:03.934

property is limited to Wyoming Avenue. So if you go to that

00:49:03.934 --> 00:49:08.033

usage chart, it is in that business park district, um, and

00:49:08.033 --> 00:49:12.834

there is, um. You can see exits and entrances north and south 00:49:12.834 --> 00:49:18.367

of the property, that would be utilized. OK, thank you for

00:49:18.367 --> 00:49:26.834

your answers. Hold Um, I This question might be more. To the 00:49:26.834 --> 00:49:31.634

staff than uh. You know, the people, um, He, uh, look at the, 00:49:31.634 --> 00:49:36.834

uh, Uh, alternatives to consider, um, one, the first

00:49:36.834 --> 00:49:41.367

one is uh recommend approval. Of the COPs with modifications, 00:49:41.367 --> 00:49:47.100

uh, but from What we are hearing there hasn’t been any

00:49:47.100 --> 00:49:49.867

modifications considered yet because they are waiting for

00:49:49.867 --> 00:49:52.900

approval before they submit anything for modifications, so 00:49:52.900 --> 00:49:56.734

can can you kind of uh Offer more um explanations on that.

00:49:56.734 --> 00:50:01.467

What, what we are supposed to be considering. Acting to 00:50:01.467 --> 00:50:03.900

Frazier, um, members of the planning commission. My

00:50:03.900 --> 00:50:06.300

understanding is the language that you’re referring to as the

00:50:06.300 --> 00:50:08.100

alternatives in the staff report, is that right? That’s

00:50:08.100 --> 00:50:13.734

correct, yes. OK. Um, that would be is if you have any um 00:50:13.734 --> 00:50:17.400

Uh, any additional or maybe removal of these conditions

00:50:17.400 --> 00:50:23.400

that are listed for either of the CUPs, um, that, um. you 00:50:23.400 --> 00:50:28.734

think would be necessary. OK, um, yeah, I understand that

00:50:28.734 --> 00:50:33.100

because, um, you know, uh, you know, you know what the CUPSR 00:50:33.100 --> 00:50:37.200

now is very kind of bland in my, you know, estimate, you know,

00:50:37.200 --> 00:50:39.934

they are waiting for something to happen before something else

00:50:39.934 --> 00:50:43.634

happens. So, uh, it’s difficult to offer any kind of 00:50:43.634 --> 00:50:47.033

modifications without knowing what to modify. So, um, so

00:50:47.033 --> 00:50:50.667

that’s where, um. I’m having some, uh, you know, I had some, 00:50:50.667 --> 00:50:56.667

you know, you know, um. Our concerns, but confusion with

00:50:56.667 --> 00:51:01.734

the language. So, so, um So right now what we are 00:51:01.734 --> 00:51:07.100

considering is just To consider if they can purchase the build

00:51:07.100 --> 00:51:09.767

or if they’ll be able to do anything after they purchased

00:51:09.767 --> 00:51:13.500

the building. Is that correct? That is correct. Um, so what 00:51:13.500 --> 00:51:17.533

you would be approving if you do approve are the conditions

00:51:17.533 --> 00:51:21.000

listed one for this religious institution and then second for 00:51:21.000 --> 00:51:24.800

the rectory, so two different CUPs, so it would be these

00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:27.900

exact conditions, um, that these conditions have been

00:51:27.900 --> 00:51:32.166

vetted by staff. They do, just to use an example, um, the 00:51:32.166 --> 00:51:34.834

architect had mentioned about needing to come. men for

00:51:34.834 --> 00:51:38.100

building permit review, that is covered under number one. So

00:51:38.100 --> 00:51:42.467

the applicant will need to meet um the building code 00:51:42.467 --> 00:51:45.767

requirements, um, when they ultimately do submit a building

00:51:45.767 --> 00:51:49.400

permit application. So they will need to meet all those

00:51:49.400 --> 00:51:54.100

requirements. Um, we do use, I, we do use general language, um, 00:51:54.100 --> 00:51:58.367

a lot of times for these conditions. You are correct. OK,

00:51:58.367 --> 00:52:01.567

that is after they have purchased the building which 00:52:01.567 --> 00:52:05.367

they haven’t done it yet. I will refer, I guess to the

00:52:05.367 --> 00:52:09.000

planning director. My understanding is this is not a

00:52:09.000 --> 00:52:14.500

contingent to the sale. A chairreer members of the 00:52:14.500 --> 00:52:18.100

commission, you know, certainly the, the, the step of applying

00:52:18.100 --> 00:52:21.634

for a building permit, you know, that, that can’t happen until 00:52:21.634 --> 00:52:26.667

the, the sale occurs, um, uh, on the property and, and, um,

00:52:26.667 --> 00:52:29.000

so, you know, that, that’s a later step. I think what what

00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:32.634

can be what’s kind of a head scratcher here is, is that, you 00:52:32.634 --> 00:52:35.734

know, often as a planning commission, we’re accustomed to,

00:52:35.734 --> 00:52:41.133

you know, looking at at physical changes to a property, 00:52:41.133 --> 00:52:45.533

um, and, you know, offering. asking questions and offering

00:52:45.533 --> 00:52:48.567

comments on physical changes, you know, often in the form of

00:52:48.567 --> 00:52:52.100

a site plan review in this particular case, there aren’t 00:52:52.100 --> 00:52:56.634

any changes to the site that are proposed, um, and nor are

00:52:56.634 --> 00:53:00.867

there any changes necessary to accommodate this proposed use, 00:53:00.867 --> 00:53:03.567

um, and we, you know, as the commission, we’re not usually

00:53:03.567 --> 00:53:07.367

getting into the weeds of the interior floor plan, cause

00:53:07.367 --> 00:53:09.367

that’s not usually necessary, you know, for the type of

00:53:09.367 --> 00:53:11.634

business that’s before the commission, um, in terms of a 00:53:11.634 --> 00:53:16.300

conditional use per. our site plan review and so on. So, um,

00:53:16.300 --> 00:53:19.767

That, that, that I, I can see, I can understand the question

00:53:19.767 --> 00:53:23.266

because there isn’t a lot to get your hands on on this one. 00:53:23.266 --> 00:53:26.467

It’s just, you know, can they meet the conditions for, for

00:53:26.467 --> 00:53:29.166

the use for the, for the religious institution and for

00:53:29.166 --> 00:53:33.000

the accessories of the rectory, it’s, it’s, um, But that’s all, 00:53:33.000 --> 00:53:39.834

that’s all that’s on the table. If the sale falls through and

00:53:39.834 --> 00:53:43.000

we pass this, could somebody else come in and then 00:53:43.000 --> 00:53:47.367

automatically go do that. Um, at the chair Frazier, uh,

00:53:47.367 --> 00:53:50.467

members of the planning mission, uh, CUPs do run with the 00:53:50.467 --> 00:53:54.834

property, so if um the CP was granted tonight, um, it would

00:53:54.834 --> 00:53:59.567

run with the property. Now, if it, so your your um example was

00:53:59.567 --> 00:54:03.200

that they would come in and use it as a religious institution, 00:54:03.200 --> 00:54:06.500

so theoretically then yes, they could use it with the, the CUP

00:54:06.500 --> 00:54:11.867

as granted. Thank you. And you know, they could also any 00:54:11.867 --> 00:54:15.033

future owner also has all the other rights conveyed to the

00:54:15.033 --> 00:54:17.133

property through this zoning district. So, you know, it’s

00:54:17.133 --> 00:54:19.634

not to say this has to be a religious institution, yeah,

00:54:19.634 --> 00:54:34.767

right. Any other questions, comments? Yes You, you on one 00:54:34.767 --> 00:54:40.734

side on the on the at least on the. North side, right? So It 00:54:40.734 --> 00:54:46.634

is a is a parking fence or? Can you please say that again? The

00:54:46.634 --> 00:54:54.500

parking fencer. Oh, I see, um. I don’t know if there’s a fence, 00:54:54.500 --> 00:54:57.634

I guess along that I’m unaware of that being the case of

00:54:57.634 --> 00:55:00.634

whether there is a fence, um, running the length of that 00:55:00.634 --> 00:55:06.166

property. There’s um. There’s screening on the, on the

00:55:06.166 --> 00:55:11.100

western on the eastern portion of the property between the The 00:55:11.100 --> 00:55:14.367

between the parking lot and the town homes. There is, there is

00:55:14.367 --> 00:55:19.100

a, there is a landscape landscaping landscaping,

00:55:19.100 --> 00:55:23.834

landscaping and a, and a fence, OK. Yes, there is an actual 00:55:23.834 --> 00:55:29.734

fence. There is, OK, OK, good. Um, just to maybe for, for the,

00:55:29.734 --> 00:55:34.634

the intended user. Are there any, um, plan, you know, like 00:55:34.634 --> 00:55:37.200

cars staying overnight or, you know, what’s the management

00:55:37.200 --> 00:55:44.200

looks like at this. You know, um, or in terms of, you know, 00:55:44.200 --> 00:55:48.500

cars being abandoned or anything. Great you want In

00:55:48.500 --> 00:55:53.233

other words I. Um, actinger Frasier members of the planning 00:55:53.233 --> 00:55:55.900

commission. We do anticipate there would be overnight

00:55:55.900 --> 00:56:01.233

parking for that wreck to reuse, um, so, um, somebody who’s 00:56:01.233 --> 00:56:03.367

associated with the religious institutions staying there,

00:56:03.367 --> 00:56:08.800

living there, um, on property, so yes, there would be that, um,

00:56:08.800 --> 00:56:13.000

anticipation for there would be some overnight parking for that 00:56:13.000 --> 00:56:17.233

person or persons who would be um residing in the rectory.

00:56:17.233 --> 00:56:26.834

Yeah Thank you. Any other questions, comments? I do have 00:56:26.834 --> 00:56:31.667

one question about the rectory, um. The construction of that, 00:56:31.667 --> 00:56:36.467

is that going to align with the existing um. Look and feel of

00:56:36.467 --> 00:56:41.300

the building. Um, acting chair Frasier members the planning 00:56:41.300 --> 00:56:44.567

commission, um, no modifications are being made to

00:56:44.567 --> 00:56:47.734

the exterior, um, so this will all be interior modification.

00:56:47.734 --> 00:56:50.900

So even the rectory will be entirely within the current 00:56:50.900 --> 00:57:00.166

structure. Um, yeah. Thank you. Right, um, we will move for a 00:57:00.166 --> 00:57:06.834

Thank you, council member. Planning Commission. Any 01:00:10.567 --> 01:00:21.367

comments from the planning commission. I The car washing 01:00:21.367 --> 01:00:26.667

by the festival that’s closing or closed. Is there a car wash

01:00:26.667 --> 01:00:28.634

that’s under construction. Under construction. Yeah. OK. 01:00:31.100 --> 01:00:37.400

Yeah. The hair is so OK. That’s uh that came through planning

01:00:37.400 --> 01:00:41.033

commission as the clean freak car wash actually came through 01:00:41.033 --> 01:00:45.367

twice, um, second time for assign variance, yeah. I have,

01:00:45.367 --> 01:00:49.567

I have a quick question, um, what’s, what’s going on on uh?

01:00:49.567 --> 01:00:54.467

Brook Brooklyn, uh Boulevard by uh Boom Avenue, you know, 01:00:54.467 --> 01:00:57.100

there’s a road closure there. What’s happening there? Are

01:00:57.100 --> 01:01:03.467

they Brooklyn Boulevard and Boone. No, not, that’s not boon, 01:01:03.467 --> 01:01:08.900

though, um, by, you know, close to boon, you know, as a. Uh, um,

01:01:08.900 --> 01:01:14.100

um. Is it road construction or or or or developer or I think 01:01:14.100 --> 01:01:16.233

it’s a road construction, you know, there’s the road is

01:01:16.233 --> 01:01:19.467

closed. I’m just wondering what’s what I don’t know. I’m

01:01:19.467 --> 01:01:33.233

sorry. Yeah, I don’t know. Yeah Last time we were together. The 01:01:33.233 --> 01:01:38.166

microphone has a mind of its own. Yeah. Yeah, I think it’s

01:01:38.166 --> 01:01:40.867

they turned it on upstairs. Remember to turn on your mics, 01:01:40.867 --> 01:01:44.233

everybody. Yeah. I think I’m taking it on. OK, anyway, but I

01:01:44.233 --> 01:01:51.800

wanted to note, uh, what it is um. Uh, I’m I’m from Brooklyn 01:01:51.800 --> 01:01:57.367

Boulevard, uh. What Brooklyn Boulevard, I can’t get the name

01:01:57.367 --> 01:02:04.767

of the street correctly, I think 7676 Avenue. a building 01:02:04.767 --> 01:02:08.567

under construction. Yeah, but, but it, but it, African foods

01:02:08.567 --> 01:02:12.767

that is, that’s Christina’s childcare. Mhm OK, yeah. I’ve 01:02:12.767 --> 01:02:17.100

been saying it and I was like, I, I did they mention this in

01:02:17.100 --> 01:02:19.266

our meeting because I just lived not too far from there,

01:02:19.266 --> 01:02:22.867

so, you know, my eyes were kind of. Yeah, that’s um that’s um 01:02:22.867 --> 01:02:26.634

um. Property formerly owned by the city’s economic development

01:02:26.634 --> 01:02:28.834

authority. This is a project that’s been years in the making,

01:02:28.834 --> 01:02:32.767

so it’s exciting to see it. The work is going on strong for 01:02:32.767 --> 01:02:38.467

what I’ve seen so far, so let’s go. Yeah Is there a limit to

01:02:38.467 --> 01:02:42.834

how many car washes the city could have. Or, uh, you know, a 01:02:42.834 --> 01:02:46.000

saturation of a market. I’m just curious. So the question

01:02:46.000 --> 01:02:48.634

is, is there a limit to how many car washes the city can

01:02:48.634 --> 01:02:55.100

have, um. I think the best way I can answer that is Generally 01:02:55.100 --> 01:02:57.734

speaking, we’re running out of places in the city where and

01:02:57.734 --> 01:03:05.266

car washes would be allowed. Um And I would, I, you know, at 01:03:05.266 --> 01:03:07.900

risk of speaking for the entire city council, which is not my

01:03:07.900 --> 01:03:12.667

role. I will say that it’s pretty clear that the council’s 01:03:12.667 --> 01:03:17.100

intent with development, uh, you know, is shifting to higher

01:03:17.100 --> 01:03:20.200

value development contributes more to the city’s tax base, um, 01:03:20.200 --> 01:03:24.367

car washes of course are an important part of life for

01:03:24.367 --> 01:03:27.233

folks who drive cars, um, but they do not do much to

01:03:27.233 --> 01:03:30.767

contribute to the city’s tax base like on a value per acre 01:03:30.767 --> 01:03:34.100

kind of a measure, um, We’ve been looking at over the last

01:03:34.100 --> 01:03:37.934

couple of years, um, so I, I wouldn’t anticipate that we’d

01:03:37.934 --> 01:03:40.467

be opening up a lot of new areas for, for, for uses such 01:03:40.467 --> 01:03:53.734

as that. Any other questions, comments? All right, we’ll move 01:03:53.734 --> 01:04:01.734

to staff liaison comments. Oh, me, OK, um, so just a 01:04:01.734 --> 01:04:06.467

commissioner’s, um, so 2 weeks from tonight is regularly

01:04:06.467 --> 01:04:09.734

scheduled work session. Do not plan on there being a meeting

01:04:09.734 --> 01:04:16.133

that night, um, for July, stay tuned. We currently do not have 01:04:16.133 --> 01:04:19.634

any applications in, um, for consideration at their regular

01:04:19.634 --> 01:04:24.033

meeting, um, however. Um, you know, we know that there are 01:04:24.033 --> 01:04:27.000

some discussion items that both staff and planning commission

01:04:27.000 --> 01:04:29.734

are interested in, you know, talking about we’re still

01:04:29.734 --> 01:04:34.800

interested in, you know, on working on kind of the, uh, 01:04:34.800 --> 01:04:37.467

planning education about about laws and and review processes

01:04:37.467 --> 01:04:40.734

like we did last month with our engineering colleagues, um, so 01:04:40.734 --> 01:04:43.934

we’ll, we’ll be looking at, you know, what’s next for that and,

01:04:43.934 --> 01:04:46.033

and kind of what the schedule will be for the rest of the

01:04:46.033 --> 01:04:51.367

summer. So, um. Stay tuned, um, for what, what that schedule 01:04:51.367 --> 01:04:54.567

will, will be, uh, and whether there will be a meeting, a

01:04:54.567 --> 01:04:58.467

regular meeting in July, um. On that. So I think that’s all

01:04:58.467 --> 01:05:05.367

I’ve got. Thank you. Thank you. So that concludes our agenda
