• <br />• <br />FACT SHEET <br />WHAT IS AN INTERIM ORDINANCE PROHIBITING NEW RESIDENTIAL <br />DEVELOPMENT? <br />State law allows cities to adopt an interim ordinance, often called a moratorium, restricting or <br />prohibiting new development for up to one year. This interim ordinance can be applied to all or <br />part of a city, or specific types of development. <br />The City of Lino Lakes is considering this temporary measure to suspend requests for new <br />housing subdivisions that would result in creating more than four new lots, for residential <br />rezoning, and for the expansion of the urban service area to service new homes with city sewer <br />and water. <br />WHY IS THE CITY OF LINO LAKES CONSIDERING AN INTERIM ORDINANCE? <br />The City of Lino Lakes recently completed its Comprehensive Plan. This plan was developed by <br />a citizen task force to be used as a roadmap for the future. The plan calls for a limit on the <br />number of new houses that can be built through 2020. It also encourages designing new <br />neighborhoods to minimize the impact on the environment. <br />The Comprehensive Plan sets the direction, but does not regulate how new developments can be <br />built. The city's zoning and subdivision ordinances are the official rules that developers must <br />follow. The city will use the year that the interim ordinance is in place to update current <br />ordinances and write new ones to provide the legal authority needed to achieve the city's vision <br />for the future. <br />HOW WILL AN INTERIM ORDINANCE AFFECT NEW HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN <br />LINO LAKES? <br />Impact on new development will be negligible, since it will not affect the 400 housing lots that <br />have already been approved for development. The interim ordinance will prohibit applications <br />for new plats for housing subdivisions. But once the city has new zoning ordinances adopted and <br />the interim ordinance expires, the rules for developing new neighborhoods will be much clearer. <br />Updating the city's ordinances can also provide opportunities to developers that they have not <br />had in the past. Rather than merely providing more developmental roadblocks, ordinances can be <br />written to provide flexibility on such things as lot and building sizes. This helps developers to <br />preserve more open space and save valuable environmental amenities within subdivisions. In <br />addition, development costs can be lowered when a city's regulatory procedures are fair and <br />consistently applied. <br />WHY CAN'T THE CITY GET THE NEW ORDINANCES IN PLACE WITHOUT <br />SUSPENDING NEW RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT FOR A YEAR? <br />• The existing development regulations, i.e., the city's subdivision and zoning ordinances, do not <br />reflect the goals and policies of the new Comprehensive Plan. The plan includes slowing the <br />01/02/02 <br />
