J`t <br />Following are two tables that compare Lino Lakes to other <br />places. the first table compares the city to its neighbors. <br />From that we can see: <br />1. With the exception of Blaine NONE of the city's <br />neighbors has more than 2.5 percent of its total <br />area in industrial land uses. In fact, there is <br />little industrial land in the whole northeast <br />sector. <br />2. With the exception of Lexington, no place has more <br />than 2.0 percent of its land in commercial uses. <br />3. Lino Lakes, Columbus Township (Carlos Avery), and <br />White Bear Township (Ramsey County) have <br />extraordinary amounts of land in public and park <br />categories. <br />4. With the exception of Blaine there is little <br />industrial development in this area, i.e. the <br />possibility of spin-off industrial development is <br />low. <br />5. Please note, Blaine with almost 30,000 population, <br />a land area almost identical to Lino Lakes, and a <br />large shopping mall has only 1.6 percent of its <br />total area in commercial land uses. <br />6. With regard to Blaine, also note that more than ten <br />percent of its area is used for industrial <br />purposes. This reflects a policy decision of that <br />city to emphasize industrial development. <br />Historically it has used tax increment financing <br />and Industrial Development Bonds to help this <br />activity. <br />LAND USE IN LINO LAKES AND <br />ADJACENT PLACES BY PERCENTAGE, 1984 <br />PLACE RESIDENTIAL INDUSTRIAL COMMERCIAL VACANT OTHER TOTAL <br />Lino Lakes <br />9.3 <br />0.4 <br />0.2 <br />57.9 <br />32.2 <br />100.0 <br />Circle Pines <br />39.5 <br />0.4 <br />1.2 <br />43.2 <br />15.7 <br />100.0 <br />Centerville <br />19.3 <br />1.1 <br />0.4 <br />63.9 <br />21.3 <br />100.0 <br />Columbus <br />Township <br />5.2 <br />0.1 <br />0.0 <br />57.3 <br />37.4 <br />100.0 <br />Lexington <br />69.9 <br />0.0 <br />8.0 <br />12.9 <br />9.2 <br />100.0 <br />rti <br />Page 11 <br />
