PLANNING& ZONING BOARD AGENDA ITEM 7A STAFF ORIGINATOR: Kendra Lindahl and Kevin Shay, Landform P &Z MEETING DATE: October 13, 2021 REQUEST: Zoning Ordinance Update-Zoning Districts CASE NUMBER: N/A APPLICANTS: City of Lino Lakes OWNERS: Multiple BACKGROUND On March 8, 2021, the City Council authorized Landform to update the City's Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map. This is one of the steps required to implement the 2040 Comprehensive Plan that was adopted by the City Council on November 9, 2020. On May 12, 2021, the P&Z Board kicked off this effort with a discussion of Planned Unit Developments (PUD). The P&Z had a robust discussion about the purpose and intent of PUDs and provided direction to staff about desired changes to the ordinance. On June 9, 2021, the P&Z board reviewed the first draft of the changes to the general provisions section. P&Z provided input to staff about the proposed revisions to the ordinance. On August 11, 2021, the P&Z board reviewed the first draft of the Planned Unit Development section of the ordinance. The P&Z provided feedback regarding the proposed changes to the ordinance. On October 4, 2021, staff provided an update on the project at the Council work session. ANALYSIS A redlined version of the zoning district sections has been prepared which eliminates unnecessary language and inconsistencies in the document, better reflects City goals and makes the ordinance easier to read and understand. This initial round of edits is intended to provide significant content changes proposed for discussion. Staff will likely continue to make refinements as we work through the process. In the full draft expected to be presented to P&Z in December, there will likely be more significant formatting changes and additional refinements to the text. Staff will continue to highlight those changes as we move through the process. 1
