NOU -18 -1998 15:33 ANALYSIS NAC 612 595 9837 P.03/86 Comprehensive Plan and Zoning. The 1990 Lino Lakes Land Use Map identifies the subject site as a rural land use area. However, the area has been looked at as a location for future urban expansion in the 1998 Comprehensive Plan Update. Therefore, the Comprehensive Plan would have to be amended to introduce low density residential to this area. Further, the Comprehensive Plan would have to be amended to include the subject site as part of MUSA. Currently, the land is in the R: Rural District. The applicant is proposing the location be changed to R -1X: Single Family Executive Residential district. Before a zoning change can be granted, the Planning Commission shall consider possible adverse effects of the proposed amendment based on the following criteria: 1. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official Comprehensive Plan. Based on the proposed development abutting existing MUSA to the north, the requested zoning, similar approval of the Miller South Glen Subdivision, and the needed extension of West Shadow Lake Drive, it would be logical that the MUSA Amendment be granted. 2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the area. The proposed preliminary plat calls for low density urban residential development. The lots would be larger than required under the R -1X District and are designed to be compatible with Colonial Woods development, which is to the east. The plat offers deep lot separation with ponding to add distance and buffering between developments. This would be of great compatibility with the adjacent land uses. 3. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained herein. The preliminary plat will review compliance with the R -1X District standards. 4. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the City's service capacity. There is no anticipation of an overburdening of existing public services. 5. Traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the property. a. It is consistent with the 1998 Transportation Plan for street capabilities. 2
