• • • Unit of Government Type of Permit/Approval Status City of Lino Lakes City of Lino Lakes City of Lino Lakes Building Permits Platting Site Plan Review to be applied for Pending Pending Refer to Exhibit A for copy of MNDOT's review of the project plat and requirements. 9. Land use. Describe current and recent past land use and development on the site and on adjacent lands. Discuss project compatibility with adjacent and nearby land uses. Indicate whether any potential conflicts involve environmental matters. Identify any potential environmental hazards due to past site uses, such as soil contamination or abandoned storage tanks, or proximity to nearby hazardous liquid or gas pipelines. The land use designations and zoning is shown in the table: A portion of the site and land to the northeast of the site is a large area designated as " Greenway" on the draft land use plan. Greenways can include valued natural features, trails, or both. They provide corridors for wildlife and serve to protect natural environmental features as well as provide linkages for trails. The greenway corridors are conceptual and are to be specifically located as part of development review process. The project site is guided and zoned by the city for retail commercial uses. Though the SC Shopping Center zoning district is intended for the types of uses proposed by the project, it does not allow for individual lots smaller than three acres, nor does it allow for lots that do not front on a public roadway. Because of these restrictions, it is necessary to rezone the site to PDO Planned Development Overlay. In Lino Lakes, a planned development is a rezoning. The PDO zone allows for greater flexibility and more economical and efficient use of the land. Current Land Use: The site is undeveloped. Adjacent Land Uses: Along the northern edge of the site, on the south side of 77th St., are two warehouses and two duplexes which abut the project site. Across 77th St. to the north is the existing Carole's Estates residential neighborhood of single family homes. There are several more residences on larger lots to the immediate east of the project site. All these residential properties are on individual wells and septic systems except for the two duplexes, which are connected to city utilities in 77th St. To the south of the site is approximately 10 acres of commercial land and Interstate 35W. To the south of the freeway is the Village, where the City is working to create a city center of mixed uses, including City Hall and other public uses as well as private housing and commercial uses.
