3 <br /> <br />For Lino Lakes, option 1 is preferred primarily because the 2030 Comprehensive Plan guided the <br />Mixed Use areas at 8+ units for most areas, which allows the City to use those areas to meet the <br />affordable housing goal. There are no other existing land use designations in the City that could <br />be used to meet these goals. <br /> <br />Proposed Changes <br /> <br />To address concerns raised by City Council staff is recommending a number of proposed <br />changes. They include: <br /> <br />1. Eliminate the four acre Mixed Use area at Lake and Vicky (area D). This area is <br />proposed to be reclassified as Medium Density Residential. <br /> <br />2. Establish a new Low Density Mixed Residential District (3.0 to 4.5 units per acre). <br /> <br />a. Low Density Mixed Residential provides for residential development between 3.0 <br />and 4.5 units per acre. The category would allow inclusion of both attached and <br />detached housing types including single family detached, two-family homes, <br />townhomes and detached townhomes. Pedestrian and open space connections <br />should be provided to achieve a relationship with the larger community. <br /> <br />b. Reclassify the Watermark Development (area I) as Low Density Mixed <br />Residential. <br /> <br />3. Establish a new Planned Residential/Commercial District (8-10 units per acre). <br /> <br />a. Planned Residential/Commercial provides a setting for high density development <br />to accommodate affordable and life cycle housing choices with opportunities for <br />neighborhood scale retail, service and office uses. Located in areas along high <br />traffic corridors the district provides a transition to lower density residential uses. <br /> <br />b. Residential development is the primary emphasis with requirements comparable <br />to the City’s R-4, Multi-family residential zoning district. Housing types in this <br />district would include townhomes, condominiums and potentially apartment <br />developments in an attached or stacked configuration. Emphasis on high quality <br />architecture with building heights of 2 to 3 stories maximum. <br /> <br />c. Compatible commercial uses allowed by Conditional Use Permit consistent with <br />the NB, Neighborhood Business and LB, Limited Business Districts. <br /> <br />d. Reclassify and include the following Mixed Use districts: <br />i. Robinson Farm/Main Street <br />ii. Lake Drive/77th (already developed – may need special consideration) <br />iii. Waldoch Farms <br />iv. Centerville Road/Birch Street <br />v. 80th Street West of I-35E
