3 Affordable Housing Unit Needs for Lino Lakes Threshold # Housing Units At or below 30% AMI 284 31 to 50% AMI 197 51 to 80% AMI 34 Total Units 515 To accommodate our share of the region’s affordable housing need, we are required to guide residential land at densities sufficient to create opportunities for affordable housing. For example, we can guide 64 acres of residential land at 8 units per acre to satisfy our affordable housing unit needs (515 units/8 units per acre = 64 acres). This goal was met with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan by default to accommodate an overall city density at 3.0 units per acre. Transportation Policy Plan The 2040 Transportation Policy Plan is the metropolitan system plan for highways, transit and aviation to which local comprehensive plans must conform. The System Statement does not identify any major improvements or changes to the highway (I-35E, I- 35W or CR 14), transit (Metro Transit) or aviation (Seaplane Base) systems in Lino Lakes. During the comprehensive plan update, we will identify potential transit service options and review any updates to Met Council’s aviation long term comprehensive plan. Other plan considerations include Regional Bicycle Transportation Network, Minor System/Functional Classification and Freight. The Regional Bicycle Transportation Network (RBTN) identifies trunk arterials of the overall bikeways system that connect to regional employment and activity centers. The RBTN identifies routes along CR 14 and CSAH 54 and through the Regional Park and these routes have already been incorporated into the City’s Park, Greenway and Trail System Plan. Lino Lakes will describe and map the functional classification of all existing roads and identify any changes from the existing to proposed classifications. No freight terminals are identified in Lino Lakes. Water Resources Policy Plan The Water Resources Plan takes an integrated approach to water supply, water quality and wastewater issues and identifies key concepts to maximize the benefits of regional investments into wastewater, water supply and surface water. Lino Lakes shall development components in the comprehensive plan to address wastewater, surface water and water supply issues. The City currently has a draft Surface Water Management Plan that it anticipates adoption in early 2016.
