ENGAGEMENT OVERVIEW DEVELOPMENT VISION <br />PROCESS <br />The City of Lino Lakes was dedicated to engaging <br />with residents about their goals concerning local <br />development, particularly those living near the study <br />area. To facilitate input, the city conducted community <br />open houses, elected official and advisory group <br />workshops, and stakeholder meetings to gather priorities <br />and feedback from residents and agency staff. <br />These meetings provided key stakeholders with <br />opportunities to provide early feedback and identify <br />wants and concerns for development in the area. <br />Groups included: <br />• Property owners <br />• City Council and Advisory Boards <br />• Residents that live within or adjacent to the study area <br />• Leaders of Forest Lake and Centennial school districts <br />• Anoka County <br />• Rice Creek Watershed District <br />• Developers <br />Throughout the planning process, residents were <br />encouraged to continually provide feedback, ensuring <br />that development goals reflected diverse community <br />priorities. Online feedback opportunities, including <br />a survey, interactive comment map, and digital <br />comment form, were also available on the project <br />website. See Index for the full engagement summaries <br />and feedback received. <br />The vision for the preferred development within the <br />Main Street Master Plan is an outcome from the <br />community engagement process that occurred in <br />2024-2025. The vision draws on the sites unique location <br />as the entry into Lino Lakes by strategically arranging <br />land uses to mark this as the gateway into the city <br />and also maintains its rural qualities that define the <br />area’s character. This effort also ensures that future <br />development aligns with the goals and principles <br />outlined in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan as amended <br />and complies with local, state, and federal regulations.Joint City Council/Advisory Board Work Session #1 <br />11/21/2024 <br />Community Open House #1 <br />12/04/2024 <br />Joint City Council/Advisory Board Work Session #2 <br />01/15/2025 <br />Community Open House #2 <br />02/05/2025 <br />Joint City Council/Advisory Board Work Session #3 <br />03/05/2025 <br />Community Open House #3 <br />03/19/2025 Project Website <br />MAPPING NORTHWEST MAIN - MAIN STREET MASTER PLAN <br />AUGUST 25, 2025 BACKGROUND | 6Page 60 of 171
