The City of Lino Lakes has also been categorized according to the Minnesota Land Cover Classification System (MLCCS). MLCCS categorizes areas based on land cover rather than land use to inform land use planners on open space planning and comprehensive planning. Figure 2-12 shows a map of the City’s classified MLCCS areas. Public utility services within the City of Lino Lakes include city sewer and water. The Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) is the area in which public utilities are available, agreed upon with the Metropolitan Council and the City of Lino Lakes (Figure 2-11).
