Link trails to parks, lakes, and schools. <br />2. Ensure commercial development and mixed-use areas are appropriately dispersed throughout the <br />city. <br />Goal 5: Improve availability of affordable and life-cycle housing. <br /> <br />Rationale: Lino Lakes, as a developing city, is expected to accommodate the projected housing needs, <br />entry level through retirement, of the community’s population. <br /> <br />Policies: <br />1. Work with developers to identify innovative strategies for providing entry-level and life-cycle <br />housing. <br />2. Use redevelopment tools to revitalize aging residential properties, made possible by various <br />federal, state, local government, and non-profit programs. <br />3. Provide expanded opportunities for housing ownership made available by various federal, state, <br />local government and non-profit agencies. <br />4. Provide for and designate appropriate areas for high-density and mixed-use development. <br />5. Strive to integrate affordable housing in all residential land use districts. <br /> <br />Goal 6: Enhance opportunities for senior housing. <br />Rationale: As Lino Lakes continues to grow and develop, it must also accommodate the housing needs <br />of a growing aging population. <br /> <br />Policies: <br />1. Develop partnerships with non-profit and private sector groups who assist in the creation of <br />senior housing. <br />2. Coordinate development of housing with retail accessibility (restaurants, shops, groceries). <br />Goal 11: Maintain existing housing stock to insure a high-quality environment in all residential <br />neighborhoods. <br /> <br />Policies: <br />1. Promote the improvement of the existing housing stock, and to encourage the rehabilitation or <br />redevelopment of substandard housing. <br />2. Encourage in-fill housing where appropriate.
