Page 2 of 5 Councilmember Ruhland asked if the City's communications platforms included an App for resident notifications.

Rob Rafferty, Mayor ATTEST: Roberta Colotti, CIVIC City Clerk CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING STAFF REPORT AGENDA ITEM 1H STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director MEETING DATE: March 24, 2025 TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 25-21 Approving Permanent Right of Way Easement and Agreement with Ramsey County, 135E/CRJ Interchange Project VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority INTRODUCTION Staff is requesting City Council consideration to transfer existing City right-of-way to Ramsey County for the reconstruction of the 135E/CR J interchange improvements. BACKGROUND Ramsey County continues to work toward completion of the plans and specifications of the 1- 35E/CRJ Interchange for proposed bid letting in spring of 2025. As discussed at the January 6, 2025 work session, staff is continuing to work with Anoka County, Ramsey County and MnDOT, regarding jurisdiction of the roadway between Centerville Road and 20t" Avenue. As previously explained, County Road J, between Centerville Road and Otter Lake Road is under the jurisdiction of multiple road authorities. The City of Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Ramsey County and Mn/DOT each share responsibility for certain portions of the roadway. The north half of CRJ, from Centerville Road to approximately 20t" Avenue, is under the City's jurisdiction. The road is not currently on the City or County's municipal state aid system. However, all parties are proposing the use of state aid as part of the funding. We have been informed by Mn/DOT that roadways cannot share Municipal and County State Aid Designations. After considerable discussion Ramsey County is proposing to take over as the responsible road authority for this section. This would allow Ramsey County to designate this as a state aid roadway. To facilitate this process the City will need to transfer its roadway easement rights to Ramsey County. This will be done by granting Ramsey County a public road easement over the subject area. The City will remain responsible for cost associated with the improvement consistent with the County's cost participation policy. A separate Joint Powers Agreement will be considered regarding cost participation. The agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney and Ramsey County. RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 25-21. ATTACHMENTS 1. Resolution No. 25-21 2.

BACKGROUND Over the past several years the legislature has been considering bills to require more residential options in what has traditionally been low density single family residential zoning districts. Multiple bills, including HF 1987 SF 2229 ("Minnesota Starter Home Act"), HF 2140 SF 2231 ("More Homes Right Places Act"), and HF 2018 SF 2286 ("Transforming Main Street Act") are being discussed at the committee level during this year's legislative session. These committees are considering bills that would impose a rigid state framework on residential development, limiting local decision -making authority regardless of a city's unique needs and circumstances. Local zoning is an important planning tool that ensures communities can responsibly plan for residential development and address locally -identified housing needs with resident input. Cities recognize that there is a housing shortage across the state and across the housing spectrum, though the shortage looks different in each community. Alongside the state, cities play a key role in tackling housing challenges and continue to lead with local solutions. In Lino Lakes we have continued to innovate at the local level and have supported both affordable and market rate development. In general, the bills: • Limit city decision -making on land use and zoning authority • Impose rigid state mandates on cities • Force higher density development • Eliminate cities' ability to require minimum parking standards on new developments • Minimize resident input, allowing only one "community meeting" before administrative approval of projects. Lino Lakes has spent a considerable amount of time and resources providing thoughtful and detailed processes planning for development. The Mapping NW Main project being a recent example. Our existing comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance provide for a variety of housing options and the infrastructure to support them. The proposed legislation would preempt most of that work. At the same time none of these provisions would guarantee affordable housing opportunities RECOMMENDATION Consider approval of Resolution No. 25-41. ATTACHMENTS 1. Resolution No. 25-41 CITY OF LINO LAKES RESOLUTION NO. 25-41 A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING RETENTION OF CITY ZONING AUTHORITY WHEREAS, decisions regarding local zoning and land use that best fit community needs are best left to city residents and officials; and WHEREAS, cities utilize zoning and land use regulations to balance property usage, guide community growth, dedicate space and capacity for public infrastructure to support development (roads, parks and trails, transportation, sewer, stormwater, water, etc.), mitigate flooding and erosion, and preserve natural resources among others; and WHEREAS, the Minnesota State Legislature, in an attempt to address housing availability and affordability challenges, is considering measures that would broadly limit city authority over zoning and land use decisions, transferring that authority to the state government; and WHEREAS, these proposed measures fail to adequately address housing availability and affordability and offer no guarantees that cost savings for developers would translate into lower housing costs for prospective homeowners or renters; and WHEREAS, a rigid, state -mandated approach to zoning and land use —relying on overly prescriptive mandates —would deprive cities of the flexibility necessary to accommodate their unique circumstances; and WHEREAS, provisions would also limit opportunities for local residents to voice their concerns regarding proposed developments during public hearings of city council and other public meetings; and WHEREAS, cities across the state have invested years of work to address zoning issues, and continue to do so, with the help of community engagement. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LINO LAKES MINNESOTA AS FOLLOWS: The City of Lino Lakes opposes state proposals that seek to broadly limit local zoning and land use decision -making related to residential development; and Supports constructive policy alternatives that provide cities with performance -based standards to guide development —while maintaining local decision -making and flexibility —and incentivize and bolster city efforts for addressing housing challenges; and And, advocates for a city-state partnership to consider reforms that are proven to address housing availability and affordability and respect locally led zoning decisions and community input. Adopted by the City Council of the City of Lino Lakes this 24t" day of March 2025.
