Whereas, the benefits to the present and future owners of property in this unique district are the certainty their plans for commercial or industrial development will be permitted as the ultimate development in this district, the public commitment to the owners defining a clear and predictable process for the staging of the ultimate development in the district (the Trigger Mechanism), and the City's commitment to permit compatible and economically viable uses within the district until that time the conditions of the Trigger Mechanism are met for the ultimate development of the district, and Whereas, as part of the City's amendment of its sign regulations completed in 1997, the City determined Advertising signs would be a compatible and contributing use in the R -BR District under the specific restrictions for the location, size and density provided in the regulations, and Whereas, landowners seeking to establish advertising signs on their property in the R -BR District have been informed the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) does not find the R -BR Zoning District to be a commercial or industrial zoning district and therefore has denied the necessary MnDOT permit needed in addition to the City permit for use of the property in the R -BR District for advertising signs, frustrating the City's intent to permit advertising signs in this district to further the orderly and equitable implementation of the district, Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Council of the City of Lino Lakes, the R -BR Zoning District is intended to be and is in fact a district for future commercial and industrial use, and Be it further resolved, in the decision of the City to permit advertising signs in the R -BR District, and solely in the R -BR District, it was our intent to provide this limited viable economic business use compatible with the purpose and intent of the R -BR District and contributing to and supporting the use of the Trigger Mechanism to ensure the benefits of containing and limiting urban sprawl, not requiring extension of utilities or other infrastructure items, and having no impact on the cost of services by the City, and Adopted by the Lino Lakes City Council this 23rd day of February, 1998.
