Page 2
DRAFT MINUTES
Chris Stowe, 426 Pine St, wanted to bring the Board’s attention to zoning and
planning concerns with his property. He began with the overview of the duties of
the Planning and Zoning Board. He expressed concerns about major
development and zoning projects coming up in the City of Lino Lakes. He also
expressed concerns about residents having to pay higher taxes for development
projects. He also wanted the City to protect Bald Eagle nest on the big tree north
of the Robinson sod farms.
Lonny Eibensteiner, 8180 Diane St, he did not sign the sign-up sheet, but Chair
Root accepted his comment. He wanted to express concerns about building code
enforcement and his concerns about his property regarding his second driveway
along the City easement. He also expressed concern about misinformation from
the City inspectors approving one permit and rejecting another. He also wanted
to bring the Board’s attention to the complaints all along Diane St.
Mr. Laden moved to close the open mike. Motion seconded by Mr. Wipperfurth.
Motion carried 6 – 0. Open mike was closed at 6:46 p.m.
7. ACTION ITEMS
A. Public Hearing: Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment-Sacred
Communities and Micro-Unit Dwellings
Ms. Larsen presented the staff report.
During the 2023 legislative session, the Legislature passed a bill authorizing
religious institutions beginning January 1, 2024 to site micro-unit dwellings on
religious institution property. The state statute also requires cities to permit
sacred settlements of micro units either via a permitted use or conditional use.
Staff recommends the Board adopts the conditional use permit.
Mr. Wipperfurth asked if the City can enforce zoning exterior material
requirements upon those applying for this. Ms. Larsen replied that the City would
have to be consistent with what the State statute says, which is exterior material
should be compatible with single-family residential requirements.
Mr. Vojtech asked what the process would be to pull a permit like this.
Ms. Larsen responded they must go through the conditional use permit, which
lays out all the requirements, and plan review and site review process.

Mr. Vojtech also asked if an individual can turn an existing building into a
religious institute. Ms. Larsen replied that you could if you meet the requirements
within the conditional use permit, including parking requirements and so on.
Mr. Root expressed concerns about the standards and minimum requirements
needed, including the setbacks. Mr. Root also suggested considering residential
areas also can fall under the conditional use permits. He commented on the
State statute which states religious institutes/sacred communities need security
as well.
Mr. Vojtech asked about the security protocols, if it could be interpreted as
something and if those standards are not met, and if the City would revoke the
conditional use permit. Ms. Larsen replied that staff will investigate the language
a bit more closely.
Ms. Guthmueller asked if there is a limit to how many micro-dwellings can be
built in a sacred community. Ms. Larsen replied if they meet the setback
requirements then it can be as many as they could.
Chair Root opened the public hearing to the public at 7:05 p.m.
Doug Malsom, 8210 Diane St, asked what the tax rates are going to be when the
micro-dwellings are put in. He expressed concerns about how the religious
institutes do not have to pay taxes, therefore the residents will have to pay more
taxes. He also suggested the City sue the State as protest against the statute.
Chris Stowe, 426 Pine St, agreed with Mr. Malsom.
Angella Coil, 7672 Sunset Ave, asked what parameters are set for the
communities, for example, how many people are in the micro-units, who are
moving in, such as no background check, etc. Where are the people coming
from, such as where are the homeless people coming from who are increasing
crime and drug trafficking. She also said that she likes the small community and
would like it to stay that way.
Mr. Wipperfurth moved to close the public hearing. Motion seconded by Mr.
Laden. The public hearing was closed at 7:09 p.m.
Chair Root entertained a motion to approve the proposed zoning text amendment
with the conditional use permit regarding sacred communities and micro-
dwellings.

DRAFT MINUTES
Ms. Guthmueller asked if there is further flexibility as to what the ordinance
change can be. Ms. Larsen responded that there are two options, whether to
adopt a permitted use or a conditional use permit.
Chair Root clarified that if the Board rejected the recommendation, then people
are still allowed to pull the permit. It is already a law, and it is required. The only
option the City has is permitted use or a conditional use permit.
Mr. Kohler made a motion to approve the zoning text amendment. Motion
seconded by Chair Root. Mr. Vojtech mentioned that there are other State
statutes in which residents can express concerns with State legislatures. Motion
carried 6 – 0.
B. Public Hearing: Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment-Building Type and
Construction and Exterior Materials
Ms. Larsen presented the staff report.
At the March 13, 2024 Planning & Zoning meeting during site and building review
of 440 Park Court, the Board suggested to require higher architectural standards
along certain corridors in the City. This will be discussed later. City staff also met
with architect professionals to read over the ordinance and see if there was any
language they can change for clarification. Ms. Larsen said that the architect
thought the language was very clear. Ms. Larsen also said that the staff is
considering stucco, which is a class two material. Be moved to class three, which
would limit the amount of stucco material commercial buildings could use.
No questions from the Board.
Chair Root opened the public hearing at 7:22 p.m.
Chris Stowe, 426 Pine St, expressed concerns about what the material of the
micro-houses will be. He also expressed concerns that he does not appreciate
the sign-up sheet because people do not know what is being talked about until it
starts.
Mr. Laden moved to close the public hearing. Motion seconded by Mr. Vojtech.
The public hearing closed at 7:25 p.m.
Mr. Vojtech moved to approve the proposed zoning ordinance text amendment
subject to conditions listed in the staff report. Motion seconded by Mr.
Wipperfurth. Motion carried 6 – 0.

Page 5
DRAFT MINUTES
Ms. Larsen presented the staff report.
The applicant, Boulder Contracting, submitted a land use application for final plat
for Jansen Addition. The applicant proposes to subdivide the existing parcel
located at 523 Lois Lane into three (3) single family lots for the purpose of
constructing two (2) new single-family homes. The lot is 1.11 gross acres
(48,510 sf).
Staff recommend approval of the final plat.
Mr. Vojtech asked if there were other plats that break close to the size of the lot.
Ms. Larsen replied yes, they receive some plats that come in close.
Mr. Laden made a motion to approve the final plat. Mr. Kohler seconded. Motion
carried 6 – 0.
7. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Notification Requirements for Developments
Mr. Wipperfurth suggested that the City should put up signs about the Robinson
sod farm development. He also asked if the City asks for the school district
approval of development projects.
Mr. Grochala said that notifications on developments are required by State law.
He also said they do meet with the school districts at least twice a year to notify
them of proposed developments, but they do not request any input. Schools are
also supportive of future developments.
Mr. Wipperfurth asked if the Board should be asking the school board for
comments.
Ms. Guthmueller said it would not be necessary to ask the school board for
comments, but it would be difficult for schools because there are many tasks that
they must prepare for. She suggested notifying the school board about big
developments is a good heads up because they can react appropriately and
prepare.
Ms. Larsen replied that the City can add school districts to the distribution list
when sending out notifications.
Mr. Grochala said they looked at the vicinity of the notifications. For example, for
the Sod farms it was only 600 ft. They want to be cautious about setting up the
Planning & Zoning Board

DRAFT MINUTES
notification vicinity because they want to reach everyone within a reasonable
distance, but the vicinity is also dependent on the type and size of the
development.
Mr. Laden asked what the notification requirements are regarding neighborhood
meetings.
Ms. Larsen replied that it was 600 ft according to the preliminary plat.
Ms. Guthmueller agreed with Mr. Wipperfurth about how important transparency
is when doing something big, and notifying more people is better.
A. Lake Drive Corridor Architectural Design Standards
Mr. Grochala suggested to the Board that staff need to come up with a design
overlay.
Mr. Laden commented on looking at the city as a whole and seeing where they
wanted to do that. Especially commercial lots and industrial zoned areas that
have a high visibility.
Mr. Grochala suggested at the next meeting that they map out those areas and
discuss what the next steps would be with some maps and photos.
B. Project Updates
Staff provided an update on projects.
Mr. Wipperfurth suggested a discussion item at the next meeting about the
religious communities and zoning text amendments to discuss the screening and
setbacks.
Chair Root agreed but added that the Board should discuss what the standards
already are.
Mr. Wipperfurth moved to adjourn the meeting. Motion seconded by Ms.
Guthmueller. The meeting was adjourned at 7:49 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Dana Rozan – Office Specialist

It should be noted a total of 27ft of additional road right-of-way along CSAH 49
(Hodgson Road) is required. The preliminary plat only indicates 17ft. Lot areas
and widths will change but they still appear to meet zoning requirements. This
will be confirmed with the revised submittal.
Building Requirements
At the time of building permit, the single family houses proposed on the lots will
be reviewed for compliance regarding impervious surface, building footprint area,
garage size, and design and construction standards.
Subdivision Ordinance
The existing lot was platted in 1949 as part of the Arthur E. Thom Acres plat.

The preliminary plat is consistent with the comprehensive plan for low density
residential development and zoning code requirements for R-1, Single Family
Residential as detailed above.
Blocks and Lots
The preliminary plat contains Lots 1-2, Block 1, Linda Avenue Addition. As noted
above, Lots 1 and 2 propose new single family houses.
Streets and Alleys
Lots 1 and 2 will be served by Linda Avenue which is a minor collector road. The
existing road right-of-way width is 66 ft which is consistent with previously
approved plats in the area. No additional road right-of-way is needed.
A total of 27ft of additional road right-of-way along CSAH 49 (Hodgson Road) is
required. The preliminary plat only indicates 17ft and shall be revised.

Boulevard Trees
Boulevard trees are required for all new residential subdivisions at a rate of one
tree per lot frontage.
Boulevard trees are shown on the landscape plan for both lots.
Boulevard tree requirements have been met.
Tree Preservation and Mitigation Standards
The purpose of these standards is to protect valuable trees and stands of
vegetation while not interfering with landowners’ reasonable use and
development of property. The goal is to minimize unnecessary loss of habitat,
biodiversity, and forest resources and to replace removed trees in areas where
tree cover is most critical.
A tree survey was performed that identified:
7
The trees planned for removal are in the Basic Use Area and will not require
mitigation trees to be planted. An ash tree planned for removal is outside of the
Basic Use Area but will not require mitigation due to the prevalence of Emerald
ash borer in the area. There are 7 other infested ash trees that must be removed
from the property as well.
The trees planned for preservation on the west perimeter must have Tree
Protection Zones installed in accordance with the City Tree Protection Fence
Detail. This is noted on the Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan (Sheet
C1.1). The same note must be added to the Landscape Plan (Sheet L1) in place
of landscaping note #3.
Tree Preservation and Mitigation Standards have been met.
Open Areas Landscape Standards
Open areas standards do not apply to single family residential lots.
Buffer and Screen Standards
The purpose of this requirement is to separate and buffer different land use
types, screen roads and parking, and screen utility and loading areas.
A 6-foot buffer and screen will be required for the east perimeter abutting
Hodgson Road. This screen can be trees, shrubs, a fence, or some combination
of these as described in City Code Section 1007.049 (6)(b).
Buffer and screen standards have not been met.
Canopy Cover
Canopy cover standards to not apply to single family residential development.
Foundation Landscaping

shall have a minimum depth of 4 inches of topsoil and be sodded including
boulevard areas. Seed may be provided in lieu of sod in certain cases, including
when the area is adjacent to natural areas or wetlands.
Seed mix for ground cover must be specified on the Landscape Plan and
Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan.
Sod and Ground Cover Standards have not been met.
Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW)
An Environmental Assessment Worksheet is not mandated. The two (2)
unattached residential units are under the 250 unattached unit threshold required
for a mandatory EAW.
Wetlands
A wetland delineation report was completed by Kjolhaug Environmental Services
on August 17, 2023. A WCA Notice of Decision was issued on October 23, 2023.
Approximately 4,145sf of wetlands were delineated along the east lot line
adjacent to CSAH 49 (Hodgson Road). There are no wetland impacts.
The wetlands are not in the Wetland Management Corridor and no wetland
buffers or conservation easements are required.
FEMA Floodplain

shall meet the following requirements for level of service (LOS), as defined by
the Highway Capacity Manual:
1. If the existing level of service (LOS) outside of the proposed subdivision
is A or B, traffic generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the
level of service more than one grade;
2. If the existing LOS outside of the proposed subdivision is C, traffic
generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service
below C;
3. If the existing LOS outside of the proposed subdivision is D, traffic
generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service
below D;
4. The existing LOS must be D or better for all streets and intersections
providing access to the subdivision. If the existing level of service is E or F,
the subdivision developer must provide, as part of the proposed project,
improvements needed to ensure a level of service D or better;
5. Existing roads and intersections providing access to the subdivision
must have the structural capacity to accommodate projected traffic from the
proposed subdivision or the developer will pay to correct any structural
deficiencies;
6. The traffic generated from a proposed subdivision shall not require city
street improvements that are inconsistent with the Lino Lakes capital
improvement plan. However, the city may, at its discretion, consider
developer-financed improvements to correct any street deficiencies;
7. The LOS requirements in divisions (2)(c)1. to 4. above do not apply to
the I-35W/Lake Drive or I-35E/Main St. interchanges. At city discretion,
interchange impacts must be evaluated in conjunction with Anoka County
and the Minnesota Department of Transportation, and a plan must be
prepared to determine improvements needed to resolve deficiencies. This
plan must determine traffic generated by the subdivision project, how this
13
traffic contributes to the total traffic, and the time frame of the
improvements. The plan also must examine financing options, including
project contribution and cost sharing among other jurisdictions and other
properties that contribute to traffic at the interchange; and
8. The city does not relinquish any rights of local determination.
Linda Avenue Addition meets the requirements for level of service (LOS). Linda
Avenue is a minor collector road and has structural capacity to accommodate two
(2) new single family houses. The city does not relinquish any rights of local

Preliminary Plat & Civil Plan Review
025258-000
As requested by City staff, WSB reviewed the Preliminary Plat and Civil Plans for the Linda
Avenue Addition in Lino Lakes, MN, prepared by Plowe Engineering and received April 10, 2024.
Our comments were made on the following documents:
•Linda Avenue Addition – Civil Plans prepared by Plowe Engineering, dated April 9, 2024.
•Linda Avenue Addition – Certificate of Survey prepared by Kurth Surveying, dated April 9,
2024.
The following review comments should be responded to in writing by the applicant. There are
additional redline comments on the plan set that should be responded to as well. Not all redline
comments are in the review memo.
Engineering
•Grading
The Linda Avenue Addition grading consists of grading the original single-family lot to
create two (2) single-family lots. There is a rural section along both Linda Avenue and
Hodgson Road/CSAH 49 with driveway accesses and culverts on Linda Avenue. A
drainage swale generally flows clockwise around the lots at minimal grade discharging to
the southwest.
Comments:
1.Maintain minimum 2% slopes with all drainage swales.
2.Provide existing grading information along the shared property line to the
west
•Provide elevation shots at the base of the adjacent building
3.Call out EOF locations for the culverts across the driveways.
4.End the east side of the western culvert after the driveway and regrade the
area to the bottom of the ditch. The driveway elevation should not be
extended to the east.
5.Verify the existing elevations between the rear grading limits and the existing
tree line to show that water is able to make it to the tree line.
•Currently it is shown as ~1% grade from the 901 to 900 contours

Linda Avenue Addition Engineering Review
•Stormwater Management
Stormwater management is not required under City ordinance. Anoka County Highway
Department (ACHD) requires drainage calculations and that the post-developed
rate/volume of runoff must not exceed the pre-developed rate/volume of runoff for the 10-
year storm event.
•Water Supply
The proposed water will be supplied by two existing 1-inch Type K copper services
extended to the lots from Linda Avenue.
Comments:
1.Verify the existing well has been abandoned/sealed per MDH requirements
prior to construction.
•Note the existing well may be left in place for non-potable irrigation use
if MDH setbacks can be met from the proposed utility services.
2.Locate the existing curb stops for both houses.
•City Public Works requires that both curb stops be replaced.
•Sanitary Sewer
The proposed sanitary sewer will be supplied by two existing 4-inch diameter Schedule 40
PVC gravity service pipes extended to the lots from Linda Avenue.
Comments:
1.Provide proof to the City that the existing septic system has been removed
per Anoka County requirements prior to construction
•Transportation
There is minimal impact to traffic or roads as this development simply splits the existing
single-family lot into two smaller single family lots which will not generate significantly
more traffic.
•Trails and sidewalks
There are no existing trails or sidewalks adjacent to the proposed development with
none being proposed.
•Wetlands and Mitigation Plan
Wetlands on the site were delineated and a WCA Notice of Decision was provided. There
are no wetland impacts proposed with the project.
•Landscaping

Linda Avenue Addition Engineering Review
The Linda Avenue Addition Site Landscape Plan will be reviewed by staff and the City’s
Environmental Coordinator. The Environmental Coordinator will provide separate comments.
•Floodplain
The Linda Avenue Addition does not impact floodplain.
•Drainage and Utility Easements
The only existing easement for the lot is a United Power Association easement along the
southern 35’ feet of the lot which is to remain across both proposed lots.
•The proposed Lot 1 will have 10’ in the front, 5’ on the sides, and the 35’ UPA
easement in the back.
•The proposed Lot 2 will have 10’ in the front, 5’ on the side common with Lot 1,
10’ on the side common to Hodgson Road/CSAH 49 and the 35’ UPA easement
in the back.
•The applicant is dedicating a drainage and utility easement over the back 35’.
This would in the same location as the UPA easement and permissions maybe
required.
Note that the eastern 17’ of the parent lot will be dedicated for the Hodgson/ CSAH
49 right of way. Anoka County is requiring 27’ (60’ total) dedicated right of way west
of centerline.
•Development Agreement
A development agreement will be required with the final plat.
•Grading Agreement
No grading agreement is required for this site.
•Stormwater Maintenance Agreement
No stormwater maintenance declaration agreement is required for this site.
•Permits Required
1.City of Lino Lakes Zoning Permit for Construction
2.NPDES General Construction Permit

BACKGROUND
Existing Site Conditions
The Drillings own and reside in the house located at 7185 Mound Trail. In June
2023, they purchased the adjacent lot located at 7193 Mound Trail. The Drillings
wish to adjust the lot line between the two (2) lots to the northeast to increase
and protect the view of the lake for 7185 Mound Trail.
Portions of both lots are in the City of Lino Lakes and the City of Centerville.
Each lot has two (2) PID#’s. Typically, a lot line adjustment is done by minor
subdivision and reviewed at a staff level. Due to the unique situation of both lots
being in two (2) cities with multiple PID#’s and to avoid long complicated metes
and bounds legal descriptions for required easements, etc., the lot line
adjustment will be processed as a preliminary plat and final plat. The preliminary
plat and final plat will be reviewed concurrently.
This staff report is based on the City of Lino Lakes zoning, shoreland, and
subdivision ordinance requirements. The City of Centerville is processing the lot
line adjustment under their ordinance requirements.

Findings of Fact-Preliminary Plat
Per Section 1001.013, Premature Subdivision:
(1) General. Any concept plan, preliminary plat or final plat deemed premature
pursuant to the following criteria shall be denied by the City Council.
(2) Conditions for establishing a premature subdivision. A subdivision may be
deemed premature should any of the following conditions not be met.
(a) Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. Including any of the
following:
1. Land use plan;
2. Transportation plan;
3. Utility (sewer and water) plans;
4. Local water management plan;
9
5. Capital improvement plan; and
6. Growth management policies, including MUSA allocation criteria.
The Drilling Estates preliminary plat is consistent with the goals and policies of
the comprehensive plan in regards to land use, housing, economic development,
transportation, local water management plan, sanitary sewer, water supply and
parks, greenway and trails.
(b) Consistency with infill policies. A proposed urban subdivision shall meet
the city's infill policies:
1. The urban subdivision must be located within the Metropolitan Urban
Service Area (MUSA) or the staged growth area as established by the city's
Comprehensive Plan;
2. The cost of utilities and street extensions must be covered by one or
more of the following:
a. An immediate assessment to the proposed subdivision;
b. One hundred percent of the street and utility costs are privately
financed by the developer;
c. The cost of regional and/or oversized trunk utility lines can be financed
with available city trunk funds; and
d. The cost and timing of the expenditure of city funds are consistent with
the city's capital improvement plan.
3. The cost, operation and maintenance of the utility system are consistent
with the normal costs as projected by the water and sewer rate study; and
4. The developer payments will offset additional costs of utility installation
or future operation and maintenance.
The Drilling Estates preliminary plat is consistent with infill policies. The existing
two (2) single family detached dwellings are connected to the City of Centerville
municipal sanitary sewer system. The cost, operation and maintenance of the
utility system is consistent with the normal costs projected by the water and
sanitary system plans. No future utility costs are proposed.
(c) Roads or highways to serve the subdivision. A proposed subdivision
shall meet the following requirements for level of service (LOS), as defined by
the Highway Capacity Manual:
1. If the existing level of service (LOS) outside of the proposed subdivision
is A or B, traffic generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the
level of service more than one grade;
2. If the existing LOS outside of the proposed subdivision is C, traffic
generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service
below C;
3. If the existing LOS outside of the proposed subdivision is D, traffic
generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service
below D;
10
4. The existing LOS must be D or better for all streets and intersections
providing access to the subdivision. If the existing level of service is E or F,
the subdivision developer must provide, as part of the proposed project,
improvements needed to ensure a level of service D or better;
5. Existing roads and intersections providing access to the subdivision
must have the structural capacity to accommodate projected traffic from the
proposed subdivision or the developer will pay to correct any structural
deficiencies;
6. The traffic generated from a proposed subdivision shall not require city
street improvements that are inconsistent with the Lino Lakes capital
improvement plan. However, the city may, at its discretion, consider
developer-financed improvements to correct any street deficiencies;
7. The LOS requirements in divisions (2)(c)1. to 4. above do not apply to
the I-35W/Lake Drive or I-35E/Main St. interchanges. At city discretion,
interchange impacts must be evaluated in conjunction with Anoka County
and the Minnesota Department of Transportation, and a plan must be
prepared to determine improvements needed to resolve deficiencies. This
plan must determine traffic generated by the subdivision project, how this
traffic contributes to the total traffic, and the time frame of the
improvements. The plan also must examine financing options, including
project contribution and cost sharing among other jurisdictions and other
properties that contribute to traffic at the interchange; and
8. The city does not relinquish any rights of local determination.
The Drilling Estates preliminary plat meets the requirements for level of service
(LOS). Mound Trail is a local road and has structural capacity to accommodate
the existing two (2) new single family detached dwellings. The city does not
relinquish any rights of local determination.
(d) Water supply. A proposed subdivision shall be deemed to have an
adequate water supply when:
1. The city water system has adequate wells, storage or pipe capacity to
serve the subdivision;
2. The water utility extension is consistent with the Lino Lakes water plan
and offers the opportunity for water main looping to serve the urban
subdivision;
3. The extension of water mains will provide adequate water pressure for
personal use and fire protection; and

INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting Planning and Zoning Board direction regarding the establishment of
an architectural design overlay district for high visibility industrial areas.
BACKGROUND
The Planning and Zoning Board discussed the possible need for higher architectural
design standards in high visibility areas at the February 13, 2024 meeting. This item
was discussed at the April 10, 2024 meeting. The board indicated that a review of
areas throughout the City should be undertaken, focusing on industrial locations.
Staff has prepared a map of main roadway corridors throughout the City focusing on
functional classification of principal or arterial roadways. These are typically the highest
volume roadways within the City. For purposes of discussion the following proposed
2040 land uses where included:
2
Business Campus
Commercial
Industrial
Office Residential
ANALYSIS
The main high visibility corridors include Interstates 35E and 35W, Lake Drive and Main
Street. 80th street, in the City’s northeast quadrant may also be a possible future
location.
Most, if not all, of the industrial property along Lake Drive and 35W has been or is
currently under development. An overlay district in this area would apply to
redevelopment activities for the most part. The 35E corridor has the most potential for
new development.
The Board Under current architectural requirements, there are slight differences
between Commercial, public, educational and religious buildings (“commercial) and
Industrial/Warehouse (“industrial) architectural requirements. For a commercial building
50% of each exterior wall requires three (3) class 1 materials. For industrial buildings,
75% of exterior walls may be comprised of two (2) different class 1 or class 2 materials.
Commercial buildings must have a base, middle, top. This requirement is not included
in the industrial building standards. These design features are typically more difficult to
include in larger industrial type buildings.
The size of the building also affects design. Buildings with walls over 100 feet facing
public right-of-way must meet additional requirements to break up the façade.
Staff is requesting the Board’s opinion to the following questions:
1. What corridors should be considered for inclusion?
2. What land use districts should be considered?
3. What additional requirements would the board want to consider?
Based on comments received staff will work to develop potential alternatives for
consideration.
RECOMMENDATION
None. Discussion only.
