• Chapter 10: Planning Districts Introduction To provide more detailed guidance for growth and development in the community, the City of Lino Lakes has established six planning districts, which are based on the City's sewer service districts. Figure 10 -1 shows the location of the planning districts. Recommendations were developed for each planning district to address specific land use, mixed use development, transportation, utility, and environmental issues within each district. The recommendations for each planning district are grouped into three categories: 1. Overall Recommendations — these recommendations address specific issues related to land use, transportation, water supply, and sanitary sewer. 2. Mixed Use Area Guidance and Recommendations — these recommendations address each Mixed Use area located within each planning district. 3. Resource Management Recommendations — these recommendations provide specific resource management strategies and projects that implement the Rice Creek Watershed District /Lino Lakes Resource Management Plan (RMP) and the Resource Management System Plan presented in Chapter 2 of this Comprehensive Plan. The RMP divides the city into distinct Resource Management Units (RMUs) that provide specific resource management strategies that address the unique conditions of each area. The RMUs are shown on Figure 10 -2. The intent of implementing the RMU recommendations is to achieve the aquatic resource management goals of the RMP and achieve a watershed -based approach to flood control and protecting high quality wetlands. Planning District Maps Recommendations for Future Land Use and Resource Management Each planning district discussion includes two maps that show the planned land use and resource management recommendations for each district. 1. 2030 Future Land Use Map - illustrates the planned 2030 land use for each district. The Land Use Plan (Chapter 3) contains additional information related to the 2030 Future Land Use map, including definitions for each land use. 2. Resource Management Recommendations Map - displays recommendations from the Rice Creek Watershed District /Lino Lakes Resource Management Plan (located in Appendix A) and the Resource Management System Plan presented in Chapter 2. Recommendations from the RMP are organized into Resource Management Units (RMUs) that represent subwatershed drainage areas. The features displayed on each Resource Management Recommendations map and an explanation of including the following: • Resource Management Unit (RMU) - Subwatershed -based management unit boundary. • Catchments - Small -scale land area used for hydrologic modeling. These may represent the direct drainage area to an individual wetland complex. • Wetlands with High Stormwater Impact Potential - These wetlands are still vulnerable to stormwater volumes from proposed land uses even if the RMPs 2.8" stormwater infiltration standard is met. Additional measures beyond those modeled in the RMP will be needed to protect these wetlands from stormwater bounce and duration.
