The 2040 land use plan allowed areas at 8 units per acre minimum to meet the affordable <br />housing goal. Density alone does not lead to affordable housing and the document provides no <br />empirical evidence to show that this increased density will result in more affordable housing in <br />Lino Lakes. It could be argued that this will not create more affordable housing and that higher <br />density housing opportunities in Lino Lakes are limited due to our geographic location and that <br />high density housing demand is now and is expected to remain limited. <br />Forecasts <br />Preliminary growth forecasts for 2050 have been prepared as part of the Imagine 2050 plan. <br />Recognizing uncertainty over future water supply forecasts for the City of Lino Lakes have <br />remained flat over the 20-year planning period. The 2050 population and household forecasts <br />are lower than what is currently planned for 2040 as shown in the table below: <br />Population <br />2020 Mr <br />Population <br />2030 =L <br />Population <br />2040 JIf <br />Population <br />2050 <br />Population <br />Growth <br />MIT, N1.1 <br />wk <br />MIT, N1.3 <br />Households <br />2020 <br />Households <br />2030 <br />Households <br />2040 <br />Households <br />2050 J� <br />Households <br />Growth <br />Staff only notes that these figures would still require expansion of the City's well field to include <br />wells 7, 8, and 9. Without resolution to the White Bear Lake water supply issue the City may <br />not be able to accommodate even the reduced growth expectations. <br />REQUESTED COUNCIL DIRECTION <br />Discussion only.
