modified identifying this area for urban residential development. This 1987 amendment was adopted by Resolution 50-87 in September 1987. 1991 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Beginning 1989 through December 1990, the City was involved in a Comprehensive Plan amendment to enlarge the City's MUSA and define new MUSA area. This amendment brought that portion of Trapper Crossing south of Holly Street into the City's MUSA. The City also amended its Land Use Plan to designate the area of Lino Lakes for urban residential development. City minutes reflect public hearings on this Comprehensive Plan amendment were held by the City Council both in July 1989 and December 1990. Between these dates, staff refined the amendment and it was reviewed by the City Advisory Boards, including Economic Development Commission, the Design and review Board and the Park Board. The EDC and Design and Review Board recommended approval. The Lino Lakes City Council closed the December 1990 public hearing and made motion to forward the plan amendment to Metropolitan Council for their review. Metropolitan Council approved the Comprehensive Plan amendment with specific conditions in March 1991. The City of Lino Lakes worked to fulfill the conditions of the Metropolitan Council's approval and formally adopted the Comprehensive Plan amendment through Resolution 92-79 in June 1992. Zoning In conjunction with the City's Comprehensive Plan amendment, the City was required to update is zoning map to be reflective of the new land use changes and the Metropolitan Council recommendation that the City eliminate the zoning districts that allowed unsewered lot size of less than 10 acres. In 1988, the City adopted Ordinance 1-88 approving a zoning map consistent with the City's Land Use Plan and Metropolitan Council approved MUSA boundaries. In August of 1992, the City formally amended the City-wide zoning map with the adoption of Ordinance 15-92. This action included public hearing on July 13, 1992. With the adoption of the amended zoning map, the land including the Trappers Crossing proposed plat was zoned "R-1", Single Family Residential. In February of 1994, the City rezoned the subject property from R- 1, Single Family Residential to R -1X, Single Family Executive Residential. Generally speaking, the R -1X District holds more restrictive performance standards than the R-1 District and is intended to encourage higher value homes through its larger lot and dwelling unit size requirements. The rezoning of the property was found to be consistent with the City's land use objectives to balance housing type and encourage higher value homes. 3
