4110 Discussion of Future Land Use Categories • • In 2030, Lino Lakes will include a variety of land use and development types. A summary of planned land use acreages is presented in Table 3 -3. Table 3 -3: 2030 Future Land Use Acreages Land Use Desi Designation 9 Gross Acres % Gross Acres Net Acres (Without Wetlands) Total Acres (Without Wetlands) Net Acres (Without Wetlands and Open Water) % Total Acres (Without Wetlands and Water) Wetland N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Open Water 3273 15.4% 3273 20.8% N/A N/A Park & Open Space 3453 16.2% 1105 7.0% 1,105 8.9% Permanent Rural 682 3.2% 191 1.2% 191 1.5% Low Density Residential 4240 19.9% 3388 21.5% 3,388 27.1% Medium Density Residential 689 3.2% 581 3.7% 581 4.7% High Density Residential 189 0.9% 162 1.0% 162 1.3% Commercial 453 2.1% 396 2.5% 396 3.2% Industrial 637 3.0% 546 3.5% 546 4.4% Mixed Use 564 2.7% 536 3.4% 536 4.3% Civic/Institutional 468 2.2% 313 2.0% 313 2.5% Private Airfield 66 0.3% 42 0.3% 42 0.3% Right -of -Way 1636 7.7% 1488 9.4% 1,488 11.9% Urban Reserve 4917 23.1% 3730 23.7% 3,730 29.9% Total City 21267 100.0% 15753* 100.0% 12480 ** 100.0% otal does not include 5,522 wetland acres, which is 25% of gross acres **Total does not include 5,522 wetland acres or 3,273 open water acres. As demonstrated by Table 3 -3, approximately half of the city's total acreage consists of wetlands, water, or parks and open space, which will remain undeveloped. Approximately 34 percent of the City's total 2030 planned land area (net of wetlands and open water) will be dedicated to residential uses, which will accommodate a variety of housing types and sizes. Lino Lakes will also include additional commercial and industrial lands to provide jobs for its residents. Additional mixed use areas will provide housing and shopping opportunities and convenience for residents. Each land use category is discussed in greater detail below. Additional discussion is provided for the future land use categories that will accommodate new development. This detailed discussion will also address how the Land Use Plan will achieve the community's goals and policies. While establishing the importance of the 2030 Future Land Use Map, it is important to acknowledge the realities of land development. Future development may involve assembling several land parcels. Site layouts may need some flexibility to ensure efficient design and safety, especially internal circulation. In addition, natural features do not follow linear property boundaries. Because of these and other factors, the actual boundaries on the Proposed Land Use Map should be considered somewhat flexible in order to accommodate development or redevelopment proposals. For example, the City may consider averaging out different land use densities across the project site for a project that includes areas mapped for several residential land uses. Residential Land Uses Residential uses will account for approximately 34 percent of the total 2030 developed land area (net of wetlands and water) in Lino Lakes. Detailed descriptions of each residential land use category are included below, along with the rationale for locating these uses. 3 -14
