CITY OF LINO LAKES
The City Council of Lino Lakes ordains:
Section 1. Purpose and Intent. The purpose and intent of this Ordinance is
to exercise the City's authority under Minnesota Statutes 462.355, Subd. 4 by the
creation of an interim ordinance which has the effect of creating a moratorium on the
subdivision of lands for residential uses in that part of the City of Lino Lakes described
and depicted in the attached Exhibit A.
Section 2. Preliminary Findings: The City Council hereby makes the following
preliminary findings to serve as the basis for the necessary study to be made during the
moratorium., which serve as the reasons why it is in the public interest for the City to
declare a moratorium by virtue of this Ordinance:
1) Main Street at Sunset Avenue (CR 53) is identified as a "gateway" in the City's
2040 Comprehensive Plan.
2) The City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan recommends the preparation of a Master
Plan for the Main Street corridor between 4 th Avenue and Sunset Avenue (CR
53). No such plan presently exists.
3) The City has been presented with two development proposals within the Exhibit A
area that total 400 acres with approximately 900 new lots for residential use.
4) A moratorium will provide the City with time to study and work towards
preparation of a Master Plan for the Exhibit A area that will address land uses,
transportation., environmental resources preservation, parks, surface waters,
and utility issues. A moratorium also presents the possibility of conducting an
Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) environment study for the area.
Section 3. Moratorium: Until the Planning & Zoning Board and City Council
complete studies related to the aforementioned findings, the City shall not accept or
continue to process any land use applications for land use proposals which propose in
whole or in part, the creation of new lots for residential purposes. Notwithstanding the
moratorium imposed herein, a land use application for a minor subdivision in
compliance with City Code Section 1001.075 thru 1001.081 may be processed. The
study period will last no longer than one (1) year from the effective date of this
Ordinance, unless further extended by the City in accordance with Minnesota Statutes
462.3551 Subd. 4.
Section 4. Effective Date: This Ordinance is effective upon publication of the
Ordinance in accordance with the City Charter.
Adopted by the Lino Lakes City Council this 8th day of July, 2024.
