Comprehensive Plan While zoned PSP, the 1990 Land Use Plan guides the subject site for single family residential and includes the area in the existing MUSA. The Proposed 2020 Land Use Plan shows the property as public /semi- public, reflecting the public ownership and current zoning. The 2020 plan also includes the site in the MUSA and Phase 1 growth area. The following Comprehensive Plan policies are also applicable to the zoning request. 1987 Comprehensive Plan Policies • Future community development shall take into account social, economic, and environmental opportunities and constraints in an effort to provide an optimal arrangement of future land use activities. • Moderately intense development (residential, commercial and industrial) shall be encouraged to locate within Lino Lakes. The location of such land uses will be consistent with the availability of public facilities, thoroughfare accessibility and conformance with established adjacent land uses. • Where possible, land uses will be grouped together, according to similarity of their characteristics, in order to minimize potential negative impacts. Where conflicting land uses must be located adjacent to one another, steps will be taken to minimize the potential negative impacts. • Urban development will be encouraged to locate within the areas of the community where public investments (streets, utilities, police and fire protection, parks, etc.) have already been provided to meet the needs of existing development. This policy will be promoted in an effort to maximize benefit from existing public investments.
