Findings <br />• <br />Section 2 Subdivision 1 of the Zoning Ordinance states that The Planning and Zoning <br />Board shall consider possible adverse effects of the proposed amendment. Its judgment <br />shall be based upon, but not limited to, the following factors: <br />1. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies <br />and provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official City <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br />Staff feels that the proposed amendment would be inconsistent with <br />the following goals and policies from the 2030 Comprehensive Plan: <br />Goal 2: Ensure that zoning and subdivision ordinances and official <br />maps are consistent with the intent and specific direction provided <br />within the Comprehensive Plan. <br />Rationale: Sound land -use plans and accompanying official controls <br />are essential tools that enable the community to attract those <br />specific uses intended for the land and ensure the quality community <br />and life citizens of Lino Lakes value highly. <br />Policies: <br />1. Ensure developers meet the standards specified within the land - <br />use plan and official controls, including zoning and subdivision <br />ordinances and official maps. <br />2. Coordinate the plans for housing with plans for light industrial <br />and commercial businesses to balance land uses, serve the <br />quality of life needs of the residential areas, foster a positive <br />business climate for light industrial and commercial business, <br />and expand and balance the community's tax base. <br />3. Ensure compatibility of adjacent land uses. <br />2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses <br />of the area. <br />The very reason why the CUP for outdoor storage excludes properties <br />like 7301 Apollo Court is to maintain compatibility with the present and <br />future land uses of the area. An outdoor industrial use has been <br />historically considered by the city to be incompatible with adjacent <br />single family residential. <br />3. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained <br />herein. <br />As stated in Section 1, Subdivision 1.C, Where the conditions imposed <br />by any provisions of this Ordinance are either more restrictive or less <br />restrictive than comparable conditions imposed by any other law <br />
