STAFF ORIGINATOR: MEETING DATE: TOPIC: CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 6C Paul Bengtson February 13, 2012 Second Reading of Ordinance Number 2-12 Planned Unit Development Amendment to add certain office uses as permitted uses within the civic district of the Lino Lakes Town Center. VOTE REQUIRED: 4/5 INTRODUCTION The Early Childhood Family Education program will be moving out of the City Hall complex, resulting in an open tenant space. Staff has been working to develop opportunities for potential tenants and the City Council has voted to engage a broker to continue the search. Staff has initiated this amendment to maximize the market potential for the tenant space. BACKGROUND The City Hall Complex is located within the boundaries of the Lino Lakes Town Center which was established as part of a Planned Unit Development (PUD), and therefore the Town Center Design & Development Guide regulates the uses that would be allowed within the complex. The site is designated as Civic (only City Hall and the YMCA properties are designated as Civic), and the Civic district includes the following permanent uses as permitted uses: • Health clubs and gymnasiums • Outdoor recreation facilities • Community -serving centers • Semipublic facilities • Indoor recreation facilities • Concession stands (not exceeding 500 square feet) • Cultural facilities • University, college, and professional schools While the semipublic facilities allowance would open up occupancy of the tenant space for other government or quasi -government offices, staff is proposing to allow other office uses in the civic district by expanding the following two uses (already included in the guide) to be permitted in the civic district: • Professional services including medical & health offices & clinics, engineering & design services, legal and counseling services, but excluding laboratories, hospitals, sanitariums and rest homes.
