Lino Lakes Main Street - AUAR 30 August 2025 iv. If any critical facilities (i.e., facilities necessary for public health and safety, those storing hazardous materials, or those housing occupants who may be insufficiently mobile) are proposed in floodplain areas and other areas identified as at risk for localized flooding, describe the risk potential considering changing precipitation and event intensity. No critical facilities are proposed as part of future development within the study area . b. Discuss the project’s compatibility with nearby land uses, zoning, and plans listed in Item 10a above, concentrating on implications for environmental effects. AUAR Guidance: The extent of conversion of existing farmlands anticipated in the AUAR should be described. If any farmland will be preserved by special protection programs, this should be discussed. If development of the AUAR will interfere or change the use of any existing designated parks, recreation areas, or trails, this should be described in the AUAR. The RGU may also want to discuss under this item any proposed parks, recreation areas, or trails to be developed in conjunction with development of the AUAR area. The AUAR must include a statement of certification from the RGU that its comprehensive plan complies with the requirements set out at Minnesota Rules, part 4410.3610, subpart 1. The AUAR document should discuss the proposed AUAR area development in the context of the comprehensive plan. If this has not been done as part of the responses to Items 6, 10 , 12, 20, and others, it must be addressed here; a brief synopsis should be presented here if the material has been presented in detail under other items. Necessary amendments to comprehensive plan elements to allow for any of the development scenarios should be noted. If there are any management plans of any other local, state, or federal agencies applicable to the AUAR area, the document must discuss the compatibility of the plan with the various development scenarios studied, with emphasis on any incompatible elements. Compatibility with Existing Land Use Both scenarios are consistent with existing surrounding land uses, which include residential uses to the south, west, and east. All new development, redevelopment, change in land use, or change in zoning are required to be consistent with the comprehensive plan. Consistency with 2040 Comprehensive Plan Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 assume the transition of the existing agricultural land to residential and small-scale commercial land uses over a period of 30+ years. They also both address the full build-out of the area and provide a foundation for future updates to the Comprehensive Plan. Development of either scenario would not impact existing or future designated parks, recreation areas, or trails as described in the comprehensive plan. The City of Lino Lakes has certified that 2040 Comprehensive Plan complies with the requirements set forth in Minnesota Rules, part 4410.3610, subpart 1. Existing Zoning The existing R, Rural zoning does not allow for single -family lots of less than 10 acres or medium to high-density residential uses. Both scenarios would require a zoning change to allow for residential and commercial uses. Rice Creek Watershed District 2020 Plan Both scenarios would be consistent with the goals and strategies identified in the RCWD plan. c. Identify measures incorporated into the proposed project to mitigate any potential incompatibility as discussed in Item 10b above and any risk potential. Scenario 1 Page 60 of 679
