The City's Comprehensive Plan guides the project area for mixed use development and includes the Master Plan for this site, developed in 1997. The City's Comprehensive Plan specifically states the following: "The southeast quadrant of the I- 35W/Lake Drive interchange represents the Lino Lakes Village area. The Village is intended to integrate a mixture of commercial, medium and high density residential and public land uses in an attractive and cohesive design." The Legacy at Woods Edge Development plan emphasizes the following objectives: 1. A 65 -acre complex of buildings in a controlled setting. 2. An integrated mix of uses that responds to residents' needs. 3. A gathering place that creates a sense of community, civic identity and pride. 4. A place that defines the unique character of the community. 5. An economic development initiative to increase the value of the commercial tax base. 6. A distinctive, consistent architectural style that promotes high quality, aesthetically pleasing commercial buildings. The proposed mix of residential and commercial, civic, and recreational uses are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Village Master Plan. The City's Zoning Ordinance provides for mixed -use development through the use of the Planned Unit Development process. Additionally, the Village Master Plan included design guidelines that are being implemented as part of the proposed development. The City also has a surface water management plan that must be consistent with the larger plan for the Rice Creek Watershed District. The proposed project has been reviewed for consistency with the surface water management policies and the site plan has included natural site infiltration as recommended by the Rice Creek Watershed District.
