Planning & Zoning Board April 8, 2026 Page 2 A.Public Hearing: Lyngblomsten PUD Amendment #4 (Mixed Use Building) Ms. Larsen presented the staff report. The applicant, Lyngblomsten at Lino Lakes, LLC, submitted a Land Use Application for PUD Amendment #4. They are requesting an amendment to the PUD Preliminary Plan/Preliminary Plat (“PUD Amendment”) to construct a 4-story mixed use building at the southeast corner of thesite. The first floor would be commercial uses, and the other three floors would be 59 market-rate independent living units for residents age 55 and older. Mr. Laden asked if this project would come back as preliminary plat. Ms. Larsen stated that we are considering the preliminary plat tonight along with the PUD preliminary plan. Chair Root wanted to know what drives the allowed permitted uses in the commercial portion of the building. Ms. Larsen stated ordinance 09-17 lists out all the zoning allowances for the site. Ms. Guthmueller had questions about whether there would be a crosswalk for residents to safely cross the roundabout. Ms. Larsen stated that there is a trail and sidewalks along and around the site. Ms. Larsen mentioned that they are recommending added sidewalks to the west side of the building. Ms. Guthmueller wondered if there would be enough parking since 70 spaces are in the underground spaces. Ms. Larsen stated that it was not a concern. Ms. Guthmueller also wanted to confirm if the square footage was similar to the original plan. Ms. Larsen stated it would be similar. Mr. Vojtech asked if there would have been a requirement for the applicant to keep the same color on the building. Ms. Larsen stated that there would not be. Mr. Laden wanted to better understand the pedestrian traffic on the site. Mr. Laden also wanted to ensure that the retail on the site was set up for success. Mr. Laden would have liked to see commercial on the corner but is still excited for the project to come in. Mr. Laden wanted a better understanding of if there would be signs for pedestrians to know what retail will be in the area. Ms. Guthmueller agreed with Mr. Laden about the site not being presented as the most pedestrian friendly, especially considering this is a gateway to the City.
