• incorporate more compact development and promote pedestrian activity. These projects will support pedestrian activity through pedestrian friendly design, and by providing connections to existing and future pedestrian and transit facilities. These future mixed use areas have the opportunity to become the city's gathering space and the design may incorporate public spaces and amenities. Architecture and landscaping are important aspects of mixed use developments, as this type of development is typically oriented to accommodate both pedestrians and vehicles. By providing walkable mixed use areas, stress on the transportation system is reduced. Mixed use areas can also provide a "sense of place within Lino Lakes by creating active and attractive developments with opportunities for interaction through successful design and site layout. The community has identified eight future mixed use sites, which are located at key intersections in the city. Many of these vibrant developments along major roadways will serve as gateways into the city. The mix of commercial and residential uses will vary for each site, as will the residential density, as shown below in Table 3 -4. It is important to note that the information provided in Table 3 -4 is preliminary, and is intended to serve as a guide for future decision - making. As plans for specific mixed use areas are refined, suggested density, total units, and the residential /commercial split may be revised. To best serve the community's changing needs and market conditions, flexibility in these areas is essential. Gross and net acreages for mixed use development presented in Table 3 -4 represent the potential for new mixed use development, and do not account for existing mixed use development projects in the city.
