• • • higher than the Met Council's 2030 employment forecasts for the city. According to the most recent Met Council employment estimates, the City contained 3,750 jobs in 2005 and 3,920 jobs in 2006. In other words, the City has already exceeded the Met Council's original 2030 employment forecast of 3,550 total jobs. As demonstrated above in Table 1 -1, the Met Council forecasts do not account for the number of existing jobs within the city. As the city grows, additional opportunities for commercial and industrial employment will be created. A revised employment forecast was discussed with Met Council staff during the preparation of this Comprehensive Plan update and Met Council staff indicated that the revised employment forecast presented in Table 1 -2 was reasonable. Therefore this Comprehensive Plan Update is based on accommodating the employment growth forecast presented in Table 1 -2 rather than the original System Statement forecast presented in Table 1 -1. Table 1 -2. 2030 Comprehensive Plan Growth Forecasts The City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan will focus on conformance with metropolitan plans and consistency with regional policies for transportation, water resources, wastewater services, housing, land use, regional parks and open space. The city's plan was reviewed for compatibility with adjacent and affected government units such as Anoka, Washington, and Ramsey counties, cities of Centerville, Columbus, Forest Lake, Hugo, North Oaks, Shoreview, Circle Pines, Blaine and Ham Lake, White Bear Township, Rice Creek Watershed District, Vadnais Lake Area Watershed Management Organization, Centennial Independent School District No. 12, Forest Lake Independent School District No. 831, and White Bear Lake Independent School District No. 624. The city received comments from several adjacent and affected governmental units and the plan was revised to address many of the comments. The city will also need to coordinate planning efforts with government agencies such as the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, MnDOT and the Pollution Control Agency. Additionally, to ensure that the Comprehensive Plan is consistent with natural resource protection and mitigation measures, the Comprehensive Plan was prepared in concert with the Rice Creek Watershed District's Resource Management Plan, an unprecedented cooperative planning effort between a municipality and a watershed district. The City of Lino Lakes is classified by the Metropolitan Council as a "Developing" community (Figure 1 -4). Developing communities are cities where the most substantial amount of new growth will occur through the year 2030— about 60 percent of new households and 40 percent of new jobs. Developments should be 3 — 5+ units per acre, with higher densities near transportation corridors. Lino Lakes needs to plan for 20 years of growth and identify post -2030 growth areas. The City of Lino Lakes has prepared a plan that responds to these Metropolitan Council guidelines for developing communities. The City has prepared a Land Use Plan that is consistent with the net density requirements. Higher density residential housing and mixed use nodes that will incorporate high density housing are planned along the City's major transportation corridors. The City has also developed a staging plan that identifies the anticipated timing for growth through 2030 and an Urban Reserve area to accommodate post 2030 growth. 2000 Estimate 2010 2020 2030 Population 16,791 22,500 26,300 30,700 Households 4,857 7,500 9,100 10,600 sewered 2,857 5,300 7 800 9,975 unsewered 2,000 2,200 1300 625 Employment 2,444 4,100 6,200 8,000 The City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan will focus on conformance with metropolitan plans and consistency with regional policies for transportation, water resources, wastewater services, housing, land use, regional parks and open space.
