7 <br /> <br />Planning and Development Requirements <br /> <br />(The following bullets and italicized text are requirements of the Master Plan. Staff comments <br />follow in regular text.) <br /> <br />General <br /> <br />• This Master Plan is to be incorporated into the Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan with an <br />amendment of the Comprehensive Plan. This includes amendments to the Proposed Land <br />Use Map: the area east of Hodgson Road should be designated Mixed Use instead of <br />Commercial. Minor inconsistencies in the Proposed Land Use Map should be corrected as <br />well, and zoning amendments should follow if and when appropriate. <br /> <br />The Master Plan was adopted as part of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan and will also be <br />incorporated into the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />• Rezoning as part of new development applications will be examined for consistency with <br />the Comprehensive Plan and this 49/J Master Plan. <br /> <br />Per Ordinance No. 07-19, the site was rezoned from GB, General Business to PUD, Planned <br />Unit Development in order to implement the Master Plan. <br /> <br />• The Master Plan is the guiding plan for development in the area. The Master Plan is <br />intended to show a general land use arrangement with some specific design elements. The <br />individual site layouts and uses are to be determined as part of the development review <br />process, but should be based on the Master Plan, including specific elements noted below. <br /> <br />The Master Plan generally envisions townhome housing on the north and west portions of the <br />site with a mix of residential and commercial uses on southern portions of the site. The Master <br />Plan notes that “individual site layouts and uses are to be determined as part of the development <br />review process”. <br /> <br />The proposed Lyngblomsten senior living community proposes 20 cottage homes on the north <br />end and a senior living campus on the eastern edge along CSAH 49 (Hodgson Road). <br /> <br />Commercial development on the southern portion of the site includes a restaurant and future <br />commercial pad that will be built out in the future. Additionally, this type of senior living <br />campus does serve as an employment center for the staff. The City has previously treated <br />assisted living facilities as commercial uses in both the Legacy development (Lino Lakes <br />Assisted Living) and with Gracewood Assisted Living. <br /> <br />• Tax increment financing and tax abatement on qualifying properties should be considered <br />potential tools for implementing the Master Plan. <br /> <br />The applicant has been approved for tax incremental financing to assist with the development <br />of this project. <br /> <br />Overall, the PUD Final Plan is consistent with the general goals of the Master Plan.
