Master Planning Study-Hodgson Road & CR J The development of this property is guided by the Master Planning Study-Hodgson Road & CR J (“Master Plan”), which was approved by the City Council in 2007 with Resolution No. 07-21. The Master Plan anticipated a mix of residential and commercial uses on the site, specifically noting that the mixed use district “would allow for, though not mandate, the inclusion of residential units, possibly in multi-story buildings. This would provide customers for the commercial development, and the commercial services would be convenient to the residents.” The Master Plan notes the Hodgson/Co Rd J intersection is a gateway and appropriate elements are to be included in the development of the corners of this intersection. In June 2024, the City created the Lino Lakes Gateway Planning study. The study identified the Hodgson Road and County Road J intersection as a Primary Gateway. Per the study, “This primary gateway is an entrance into the city of Lino Lakes from the south, adjacent to the city of Shoreview. The roundabout island follows the design shown in “Roundabout Design - Typical”. One (1) “Monument Sign Type A” will be located in the NE quadrant of the intersection creating a gateway as users enter Lino Lakes on Hodgson Road.” See attached monument sign and location. See attached excerpt from Gateway Planning Study. The PUD Amendment #4 landscape plan shows a 1,000sf landscaped, outdoor area in the southeast corner of the site that could accommodate outdoor seating and amenities. The two (2) existing electrical transformer boxes and proposed grades limit the usable space; however, additional gateway elements shall be incorporated into the area. The original PUD Preliminary Plan/Preliminary Plat was found to be consistent with the Master Plan. The proposed PUD Amendment #4 is also consistent with the Master Plan. Design Guidelines The Master Plan also notes that design guidelines must be prepared for any new development project in the area. Design Guidelines for Lyngblomsten at Lino Lakes were prepared as part of the original PUD Preliminary Plan and have been revised accordingly with the PUD Amendment #4. The guidelines in conjunction with Resolution No. 19-42 detail site plan, building and parking setbacks, gateway elements. Architectural standards, building heights, landscaping and signage requirements. The proposed PUD Amendment #4 is consistent with the design guidelines. Site & Building Plan Review Like the existing 4 story senior living campus building, the R-4, High Density Residential and Multiple-family dwelling general building and use provisions will be applied to the proposed mixed use building. 5
