FUTURE MUSA DEMAND <br />To accommodate future projected growth in Lino Lakes, it is <br />necessary to have a sufficient supply of buildable land and <br />infrastructure capacity. Based on the growth parameters <br />established for the City, land demand has been forecasted in Table <br />D. The land demand projection illustrates the anticipated number <br />of housing units divided by the City average urban density to <br />generate estimated land demand by buildable acres. Consistent with <br />Metropolitan Council guidelines, the demand is then adjusted to <br />provide a five year overage in land supply. Based on anticipated <br />growth, Lino Lakes will have a 2000 MUSA land demand with overage <br />ranging from 750 to 1,125 acres. <br />TABLE D <br />YEAR 2000 MUSA FORECASTS <br />Number of New Housing <br />Units Annually <br />(Year 1995-2000) <br />200 250 300 <br />X 5 X 5 X 5 <br />Total Residential Units <br />April 2000 1,000 <br />Average City -Wide Density 2.0 <br />1,250 1,500 <br />2.0 2.0 <br />Total Buildable Acres <br />Needed by 2000 500 625 750 <br />Five Year Overage X 1.-5 <br />X 1.5 X 1.5 <br />2000 MUSA DEMAND <br />WITH OVERAGE 750 940 1,125 <br />EXISTING MUSA LAND SUPPLY <br />In 1993, the Metropolitan Council staff estimated that Lino Lakes' <br />total MUSA included 3,915 acres. This figure was based on the MUSA <br />boundaries established with the 1990 Comprehensive Plan amendment, <br />as shown on Map 1. Within the total MUSA, Metropolitan Council <br />staff estimated that 2,134 acres of land was buildable and <br />available for new development. Metropolitan Council estimates, <br />shown in Table E, were generated through the use of a region -wide <br />GIS system that quantified the amount of various land uses, <br />National Wetland Inventory features, and undeveloped land within <br />the City. <br />10 <br />
