LAND USE PLAN <br />GROWTH AREAS / METROPOLITAN URBAN SERVICE AREA <br />The amount and pace of future growth will be directly related to the supply of buildable <br />land, utility availability and density. Lino Lakes is reliant on regional sanitary sewer and <br />the allocation of Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) from the Metropolitan <br />Council. <br />Most of Lino Lakes has been placed in the region's illustrative 2020 MUSA according <br />to Metropolitan Council's Regional Blueprint. However the City has chosen more <br />conservative growth goals than the region as the basis for local planning. The City will <br />manage the allocation of land and MUSA as a means for controlling the location and <br />pace of growth within the City. The following tables illustrate future forecasted land <br />demand and projected MUSA expansion based on the following assumptions: <br />1. Residential Land Demand. Lino Lakes had an estimated household count of <br />5,255 in year 2000. The City forecasts the addition of 2,320 households over the <br />next twenty years, resulting in a 2020 household count of 7,575. <br />The City anticipates new residential development within the City will occur at an <br />average net density of 2.5 units per acre. Based on a twenty -year household <br />growth of 2,320 at a density of 2.5 units per acre, the City will consume <br />approximately 928 acres of net buildable land for its residential land uses over <br />the next twenty years. This is an average of 46.4 acres per year. <br />Commercial /Industrial Land Use Demand. Commercial and industrial land use <br />are to be aggressively promoted to broaden Lino Lakes' local tax base. The <br />future land demand for commercial and industrial land is estimated to be 20 <br />buildable acres per year. Based on this average annual consumption, the City <br />will develop approximately 400 acres of commercial and industrial land use by <br />2020. <br />3. Public /Semi - Public Land Use. To accommodate various ancillary public uses, <br />such as streets, parks, etc., associated with development, the forecasted land <br />demand has been increased by 15 percent. <br />4. The accumulative total of annual land demand is shown as follows: <br />Residential 46.4 acres <br />Commercial /Industrial 20.0 acres <br />Public /Semi - Public 10.0 acres <br />76.4 acres <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE LINO LAKES <br />65 DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK <br />
