Lino Lakes 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update Joint Meeting 2 February 20, 2019 use development parameters and the use of the PUD (planned unit development) process. The Planning and Zoning Board and City Council have reviewed options to reclassify and differentiate and reclassify these areas, while still meeting density requirements and affordable housing goals. Key Changes The 2040 Plan has several changes to the Full Build Land Use Map, which are shown on Figure 3-3 of the Draft Plan. The purpose of the joint meeting is to specifically discuss the proposed changes resulting from the reclassification of the areas identified as Mixed Use in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Over the past 6 months, the Planning and Zoning Board and City Council reviewed options to differentiate and reclassify the Mixed Use areas while still meeting density requirements and affordable housing goals. Based on these discussions the following items have been addressed. 1. The Mixed Use Area at Vicky Lane and Lake Drive was changed to Medium Density Residential. 2. Five new land use districts were created to replace the existing Mixed Use classification. They are: a. Low Density Mixed Residential b. Planned Residential/Commercial c. Signature Gateway d. Town Center e. Office/Medium Density Residential 3. The Mixed Use Area at Birch and Centerville Road Birch/Centerville Road was changed to mix of Planned Residential/Commercial and Medium Density Residential. 4. The Comp Plan Implementation sections will be amended to include a “to do” list that includes: a. Evaluate the intent and purpose of the Planned Unit Development Process. b. Review PUD minimum requirements and amend as necessary. i. Consider minimums for lot area and garage size. c. Consider the establishment of “allowed” flexibilities. i. Lot width and depth, ROW/street width, setbacks d. Revise the maximum allowable impervious surface requirements for low and medium- density residential districts. 5. We added language to note that the Planned Residential/Commercial and Signature Gateway Districts incorporate planning parameters estimating the ratio of the residential and commercial mix. These ranges are flexible and may change based on a specific development proposal.
