• Comprehensive Plan Amendment Hardwood Creek LLC page 9 2, paragraph 5 of the growth policy, is based on 147 x 7 years.) This comprehensive plan amendment would fulfill the requirement of the growth management ordinance. (5) The comprehensive plan itself includes a list of Growth Management Policies, which includes "Limit residential growth to an average of 147 units per year, carrying a three year supply lot inventory" (page 27). As stated above, this would not accommodate the anticipated development project. This statement should be reviewed to accommodate the potential advantages of master planning large areas. (6) The growth goals described in the comprehensive plan "assume an average of 147 new households annually through the year 2020" (page 63). This statement merits discussion. (1) & (2) Land Use Plan Amendment: Land Uses and MUSA The comprehensive plan includes a "Proposed Land Use" map. The application includes amending that map. Currently, the site includes land guided Industrial (290 acres), Medium Density Residential (45 acres), and High Density Residential (25 acres). The AUAR included a market analysis based on recent development rates in Lino Lakes. There are 1072 acres guided for industrial uses along 35E. At historic rates, it would take well over 100 years to develop all this industrial land. Converting some of this to accommodate the commercial and residential development that would make up the Hardwood Creek project will not prevent industrial growth in the city. • The proposed land use for the site should be changed to Mixed Use, as shown on the attached map "Proposed Amendment To Land Use Plan (Detail) ". (Figure 3, and Exhibit A in Resolution 05 -153.) • The amendment should include a request for 370 acres of MUSA for this project. This new MUSA would be applied to the site, not held in the MUSA reserve. The resulting MUSA line is shown on the "Proposed Amendment" map. (Figure 3, and Exhibit A in Resolution 05 -153.) (3) & (4) Text Amendment: "Mixed Use" Land Use Category and Addressing the Growth Management Ordinance The comprehensive plan Proposed Land Use Map includes twelve land use categories. The text in the Land Use Plan chapter of the document include discussion of nine of the categories. The three categories not discussed are Public /Semi - Public, Manufactured Home Park, and Mixed Use. The 35W interchange area of the Legacy at Woods Edge and the Marketplace developments are the largest areas guided Mixed Use. The other is the area northwest of the Hodgson/CR J intersection.
