IMPLEMENTATION The Main Street Master Plan is the guiding plan for future development in the study area. The Master Plan is intended to show a general land use arrangement with some specific design elements. The individual site layouts and uses are to be determined as part of the development review process, but should be based on the Master Plan, including specific elements noted below. • AUAR 1. Development proposals must be within the scenarios studied in the AUAR and follow the mitigation plan (see Index to this document for the mitigation plan). • Land Use and Zoning 1. The specific residential and commercial land use boundaries on Master Plan should be generally followed and considered somewhat flexible in order to accommodate natural features, land assembly and other physical issues. 2. Require that tools such as clustering, buffering, and/or screening be incorporated into future development plans to mitigate potential land use conflicts. • Natural Resources/Water 1. Construct the water and sewer infrastructure per the AUAR and 2040 Comprehensive Plan requirements. 2. Implement the Conservation Design Framework, which includes establishing greenway corridors throughout the study area to provide connectivity for ecological and wildlife corridors, regional stormwater collection and conveyance, and passive recreational opportunities. 3. Direct stormwater collection, trees, and open space to be a natural buffer along Main Street. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN & NEXT STEPS IMPLEMENTATION (CONT.) • Parks and Open Space 1. Create parks, natural open space and greenways that connect to a larger trail system that will be established across the study area. This will link to the existing trail connection to the south of the study area, and link to a future regional trail along Main Street. The specific alignment of the trail corridor and pocket parks across the Master Plan area will be determined as development occurs. • Transportation 1. Create access points and a road network to support future development per the Master Plan and AUAR documentation. NEXT STEPS This Master Plan is to be incorporated into the Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan with an amendment of the Comprehensive Plan. This includes amendments to the Proposed Land Use Map and zoning amendments should follow if and when appropriate. As a next step, the City will consider amending the 2024 Lino Lakes Gateway Planning manual to change the Main Street and Sunset Avenue intersection to be designated as a “primary gateway”. Future development would need to comply with the primary gateway design elements as it relates to monument signs, landscaping, roundabout design, etc. Future developers will need to work with the City and other agencies to construct and phase appropriately the major infrastructure improvements needed to expand the capacity of the water and wastewater system is this area. The Master Plan illustrates the desired location of future land uses within a concept design to provide a framework for future development in this area but the Plan remains flexible with land use boundaries to accommodate natural features, land assembly and other physical boundaries, if needed.
