5 <br /> <br />New Zoning Districts <br /> <br />The Future Urban Development (FUD) zoning district is a new zoning district that is intended as <br />a holding zone to preserve areas where urban services are planned, but not yet available. This <br />was identified in the implementation plan as goal #3 of the land use section of the 2040 <br />Comprehensive Plan as an action that would allow for the orderly development of land planned <br />for urban services. The FUD district is the same as the Rural (R) zoning district except it has a <br />larger (20-acre) minimum lot size to preserve the land for development. <br /> <br />The holding zone would apply until municipal sewer and water are available and a landowner/ <br />developer makes application for development. At that time the City may rezone the property <br />consistent with its designation on the future land use plan map, provided that the development <br />does not result in the premature extension of public utilities, facilities or services. <br /> <br />The Business Campus (BC) zoning district is for the land in eastern Lino Lakes that was <br />designated Business Campus in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The intent is to provide for multi- <br />use buildings, business offices, wholesale showrooms, and related uses in an environment which <br />provides a high level of amenities. The district will serve primarily as employment centers, with <br />office, service, research and development, data centers and light industrial uses. Other uses <br />would include those that support the businesses and their employees, such as convenience retail <br />or services, hotels, restaurants, daycare facilities, banks or other financial institutions. The <br />development standards included in the district are the same as the light industrial district with <br />only the list of uses being different. This district is not currently shown on the zoning map but as <br />land develops within the commercial, business campus or industrial land use the properties will <br />be rezoned. Staff has added the commercial land use option since the P&Z saw the last draft of <br />this section. There are areas in the City where land guided commercial may be appropriate for <br />this BC zoning designation and staff wants to provide this additional option. The development <br />would be required to request a rezoning to BC, which give the City a high level of discretion in <br />determining appropriateness of the district. <br /> <br />The High Density Residential and Commercial (R-5) zoning district is intended to provide a <br />setting for multiple family housing and commercial in areas that have good thoroughfare access. <br />The R-5 district shall correspond to the Planned Residential/Commercial land use category in the <br />2040 Comprehensive Plan future land use map. The uses allowed within the district are a <br />combination of uses found in the High Density Residential (R-4) district and the General <br />Business (GB) district, with the development standards reflecting those district standards as well. <br />This district is not currently shown on the zoning map but as land develops within the planned <br />residential/commercial land use the properties will be rezoned. <br /> <br />Agritourism <br /> <br />Agritourism is a new use that has been added as a conditional use to the Rural (R) and Future <br />Urban Development (FUD) districts. Agritourism is defined as “any commercial enterprise that <br />links agricultural production and/or processing with tourism in order to attract visitors onto a <br />farm, ranch, or other agricultural business for the purposes of entertaining and/or educating.” By <br />allowing agritourism as a CUP we can address the effects of the use to ensure the site’s
