• • In the extreme southwest corner of the study area is a parcel forming a narrow strip that runs northwest/southeast. This parcel is guided for residential land use but zoned General Business. The narrow strip is not useable by itself and must be incorporated into the redevelopment of the abutting property. The land use map should be amended to include this piece in the Mixed Use land use category. Any future development review will examine rezoning needs. On the north edge of the study area, a parcel between Hodgson and Ware Roads is guided Commercial on the Hodgson side but the area east of the wetland is guided for Medium Density Residential. As noted above, the western portion should be guided Mixed Use. The specifics of the site — especially a wetland delineation— likely will determine how far development will extend east. Allowing for a flexible edge of the land uses, as recommended above, will allow a design that is sensitive to the natural resources. Any future development review will examine rezoning needs. On the Ware Road side of the study area, a parcel is guided both Medium Density Residential and Low Density Sewered Residential. How or even if development will occur there is unknown. For consistency, the entire parcel should be guided Medium Density. Any future development review will examine rezoning needs. Planning and Development Objectives General • This Master Plan is to be incorporated into the Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan with an amendment of the Comprehensive Plan. This includes amendments to the Proposed Land Use Map: the area east of Hodgson Road should be designated Mixed Use instead of Commercial. Minor inconsistencies in the Proposed Land Use Map should be corrected as well, and zoning amendments should follow if and when appropriate . • The land use boundaries on the Proposed Land Use Map should be considered somewhat flexible in order to accommodate natural features, land assembly and other physical issues. • Rezoning as part of new development applications will be examined for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and this 49/J Master Plan. • The Master Plan is the guiding plan for development in the area. The Master Plan is intended to show a general land use arrangement with some specific design elements. The individual site layouts and uses are to be determined as part of the development review process, but should be based on the Master Plan, including specific elements noted below. • Tax increment financing and tax abatement on qualifying properties should be considered potential tools for implementing the Master Plan. - 7 0 - Resolution No. 07 -21 EXHIBIT B page 2
