Lino Lakes 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update Planning & Zoning Board Meeting August 7, 2017 Page 6 Land Use Policy Discussion Items, August 2017 # Description 2030 Plan Notes LP-1 Mixed Use Development “The purpose of this category is to accommodate a mix of residential, retail and office uses Residential development may include higher density housing options.” (Table 3-2, page 3-11) • Category needs clarification. How must “mixing” occur? Within each site or development project? This may be difficult for small parcels. • Can this category be used to allow flexibility for commercial OR residential uses? • Should there be different approaches for different areas of the community? Recommendation: Land use Plan should give guidance on Mixed Use category and include goals for each Mixed Use area including residential/commercial split, similar to current plan (see pages 3-16 through 3-18 and Table 3-4.) LP-2 Industrial Land Use “The purpose of this category is to accommodate manufacturing, processing, warehousing, and research and development uses.” (Table 3-2, page 3- 11) • Can a single industrial classification respond to city’s desire for business park/corporate campus areas versus more traditional industrial areas with outside storage and/or distribution uses? • Should there be different classification(s) for high visibility areas or to ensure compatibility with adjacent uses? Recommendation: consider splitting industrial use into two classifications, one for existing areas allowing a full range of industrial uses and a new “Business Campus” classification for large, high-visibility sites. Emphasize employment over warehousing; higher standards for design. Planned uses may include some commercial to support the business and employment base.
