Areas of the largest household growth during the 1990s were Coon Rapids, Ramsey, Andover, Blaine, and Lino Lakes. These communities had an ample supply of land within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary. Beyond these communities to the north, the County is largely urban -rural with zoning restrictions that limit residential development to primarily large -lot single - family homes. The current MUSA boundary constrains the development of higher housing densities in most of the County. The greatest amount of housing development is occurring in areas with land serviced by municipal sewer and water. Very little multifamily housing will be built in communities in the northern portion of the County, which is not serviced by municipal sewer and water. Land outside the MUSA is being consumed at a rapid pace by the development of housing at lower densities. For example, with an average single - family lot size of 2.5 acres (a typical lot size in the townships), the amount of land to develop 100 homes would be about 300 acres (including land for streets), compared to about 33 acres for an average single - family lot size of 12,000 square feet. Thus, the more rural sub markets are consuming land at a pace similar to the more urban sub markets that are adding a much greater amount of housing.
