Chapter 1 - Introduction This chapter of the Comprehensive Plan builds a foundation for the chapters to follow, by describing the community and its regional context, and setting forth the vision of Lino Lakes’ future that guides the entire plan. This chapter provides information about the history of Lino Lakes and describes how the city fits in the regional context. It describes the process that the city went through to create the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and summarizes the results of the surveys done as part of the process.

This chapter provides direction to landowners and developers about how and when development is expected by providing land use classifications with density ranges and planning parameters, as well as sewer staging.
