LAND USE PLAN <br />LOCAL FORECASTS <br />As development expands outward from the Metropolitan Area's inner cities, the demand <br />for land with utility availability increases. Since 1990, the City's annual residential <br />growth rate more than doubled previous decades. <br />LINO LAKES RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PERMITS <br />Year <br />Number of Residential <br />Housing Units Added <br />Average Annual <br />Number of Units <br />1970 -1979 <br />645 <br />64.5 <br />1980 -1989 <br />1,222 <br />122.2 <br />1990 -1999 <br />2,406 <br />240.6 <br />Source: City of Lino Lakes <br />The accelerated rate of growth since 1990 has raised concerns with regard to the <br />changing character of the community, increased demand on public infrastructure, <br />service and the impact of land use on local property tax rates. In light of these pressing <br />concerns, the City will pursue a managed growth strategy that will slow down the rate of <br />residential growth and expand efforts to attract commercial and industrial land uses <br />through economic development. <br />The City's Comprehensive Plan Task Force agreed on goals for a local growth rate. <br />These goals will be utilized as the ground work for development staging and land use <br />planning for Lino Lakes. The goals assume an average of 147 new households v <br />annually through the year 2020. <br />LINO LAKES DEMOGRAPHIC GOALS <br />1990 <br />1995 <br />Estimate <br />2000 <br />2010 <br />2020 <br />Households <br />2,603 <br />3,899 <br />4,600 <br />6,000 <br />7,575 <br />Population <br />8,807 <br />13,097 <br />14,540 <br />17,820 <br />20,500 <br />Employment <br />1,229 <br />1,405 <br />1,750 <br />2,570 <br />3,130 <br />Source: City of Lino Lakes <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE <br />LINO LAKES <br />63 DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK <br />
