ADMINISTRATION Subd. 1. Administration: Amendments and Rezonings. The Planning and Zoning Board shall consider possible adverse effects of the proposed amendment. Its Judgement shall be based upon, but not limited to, the following factors: 1. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and provisions of and has been found to, be consistent with the official City Comprehensive Plan. Discussion: The City of Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan sets forth several policies and objectives that generally apply to residential development within- the City of Lino Lakes. The specific standards and approval criteria set forth in the Lino Lakes Zoning Ordinance, Section 1 — Title /Application/Rules Subd. 1 Title and Application, implement the Comprehensive Plan. The Lino Lakes Zoning Ordinance governs lot size, lot dimensions, yard setbacks, location of driveways, specifications of mandated improvements and all other development standards. Additionally, the Lino Lakes Zoning Ordinance sets forth the procedures for accepting land use applications and the process for decision - making. In relation to specific policies and provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Marshan is consistent with the following objectives: Natural Environment: the development of this tier of Marshan affirms; due to it's proximity to Marshan Lake and previous tiered density allotment: is responsive to stewardship of the natural environment; excels in environmental design and conservation; and develops sufficient open space, i.e. buffer strips, pedestrian ways to /from Marshan Park. It was found that Marshan first tier complied with State of Minnesota Shoreland requirements that were more restrictive than the Lino Lakes Shoreland Ordinance provisions. Marshan improvements and provisions were taken and adhered to through the city review process by means of approval of it's Wetland Delineation Report, storm -water retention facilities, buffering strips and Shoreland Management guidelines. Through development of storm - water facilities for the entire Marshan site, density allotments, buffering, open space and park dedications, the city previously determined that Marshan would not be environmentally detrimental. The development of the last phase of Marshan will follow the same standards and practices. Growth Management: the last teir of Marshan assures that growth management is accompanied by adequate infrastructure through previous dedication and development of streets, pedestrian ways, park lands, landscaping, and storm drainage /retention facilities. Marshan will contribute to the desire of complementing urban densities adjacent to Lake Drive /135, similar to "The Village" objectives while reducing the potential of dispersed growth Marshan Second Comprehensive Plan Amendment, CUP, PUD and Site Plan Request October 28, 2003 OCT 2 8 2003 4
