ANALYSIS
Existing Site Conditions
The 2.8 acre lot is a vacant commercial site located at the southeast corner of Lake Drive and
Kelly Street. It is legally described as Lot 1, Block 2, Pine Glen, an existing subdivision platted in
2006. A regional stormwater pond exists in the southeast corner of the site.
Zoning and Land Use
The lot is zoned GB, General Business. A motor vehicle sales lot requires a conditional use
permit.
The lot is guided commercial per the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan.

Subdivision Ordinance
This is an existing lot of record (Lot 1, Block 2, Pine Glen). There are no new lots being created;
therefore, there is no new subdivision. Park dedication fees were collected with the Plen Glen
plat and no additional fees are required.
Site and Building Plan Review
The attached Site and Building Plan Review Worksheet was completed for the lot and building
to determine zoning code compliance regarding lot sizes, setbacks, architecture, lighting, and
off-street parking. In general, the proposed development is compliant with minor revisions as
noted.
A conditional use permit (CUP) is required in the GB, General Business District for a motor
vehicle sale lot. The CUP conditions will be discussed later in this report.
Site Plan
The lot area is 121,566 sf (2.8 acres). The front lot line is Lake Drive; however, access will be
from two (2) driveways along Kelly Street. An existing stormwater basin is located in the
southeast and east areas of the site. A new infiltration basin is proposed along Lake Drive south
of the parking lot. An 8ft tall screen fence is proposed along the east lot line adjacent to the
residential lot.
The required setback from residential property is 35ft. The parking lot and lighting poles are
50ft from the east residential lot line which exceeds the requirement.
The building footprint is approximately 8,010 8,410 sf and has 37 offices, one (1) garage for
parking, and two (2) conference rooms.
Parking Spaces
The site has 119 109 surface parking spaces and 1 garage parking space for a total of 120 110
parking spaces. The commercial building proposes 2 different potential uses, offices and motor
Page 6 of 148
4
vehicles sales lot. The following summarizes the three (3) applicable parking space
requirements.
Per City Code Section 1007.052(6):
1. Office Buildings: 1 space for each 200 square feet of floor area.
• 8,010 8,410 gross floor area x 10% = 7,209 7,569 sf floor area
• 7,209 7,569 sf floor area/200 sf = 36 38 spaces required
This leaves 84 72 parking spaces for motor vehicle sales (120-36=84 110-38=72). Per the
applicant and state dealership license requirements, each motor vehicle dealer is required to
have a minimum of 5 parking spaces. This equates to 17 14 offices dedicated to motor vehicle
sales (84/5=17 72/5=14).
2. Motor Vehicle Sales Lot: 1 space for each 250 square feet of floor area of the building plus 1
space per each 2,000 square feet of gross land area.
• 7,209 7,569 sf floor area/250 sf = 29 30 spaces required
• 121,532 121,566 sf land area/2,000 = 61 spaces required
o Total = 90 91 spaces required
Per City Code Section 1007.132(8):
3. Motor Vehicle Sales Lot: 380 square feet of sales area per vehicle exclusive of required
parking areas
• 43,800sf sales area (parking lot)/380 sf = 115 vehicles
• # parking spaces provided = 110
• Required office parking areas = 36 38 parking spaces
o Total required = 79 72 parking spaces for vehicle sales
In summary, the proposed 120 109 parking spaces and one (1) garage bay exceed requirements
for both office and motor vehicle sales uses. Staff recommends limiting parking spaces for
motor vehicle sales to 84 72 but this number could change based on plan revisions.
Architectural Plans and Exterior Building Materials
The building footprint is approximately 8,010 8,410 sf and has 37 offices, one (1) garage bay for
parking, and two (2) conference rooms.
The exterior materials include brick, glass, cultured stone, rock faced block and EIFS. Colors as
shown on Sheet EX03 are red, brown, and tan. The exterior materials, colors, and percentages
are compliant with performance standards.
The building height is 22ft which is less than that maximum 45 ft allowed.
Page 7 of 148

An interior mechanical room is proposed. Any Exterior mechanical equipment shall be has been
screened per ordinance.
Grading Plan and Stormwater Management
Per the City Engineer Memo dated October 1, 2025:
Stormwater management for 7920 Lake Drive site consists of constructing infiltration basins on
the east and west sides of the site.
Pre- and Post- Development Discharge Rates (cfs)
Condition 2-Year 10-Year 100-Year 10-Day Snowmelt
Existing* 0.84 1.81 5.21 Not required
Proposed 0.78 1.55 5.43 Not required
Additional comments/revisions are noted in the attached City Engineer memo.
An additional drainage and utility easement is required for the infiltration basin. This easement
will be dedicated and recorded by a separate document.
Public Utilities
The commercial building will be municipally served by an 8” sanitary sewer main and 12”
watermain along Kelly Street.
Tree Preservation, Mitigation Standards and Landscaping
Per the September 24, 2025 Environmental Board staff report:
A tree preservation plan was required for this project. There are 17 existing onsite trees, as part
of the project 4 will be removed. The 4 trees to be removed are within the Basic Use Area and
do not require replacement.
Foundation landscaping requirement are 2 large trees + 4 large shrubs per 100lf of building
facing public roads. The site has 403 lf of foundation frontage requiring 8 trees and 24 shrubs.
The plans show 25 shrubs meeting the requirements but only 2 large trees (4 medium trees)
being proposed. Based on the design of the building with office frontage and doors to the
sidewalk, additional tree planting is not feasible. City Code section 1007.049 4(d) states the city
may allow flexible planting locations where service areas or other constraints make the
standards difficult to meet. Staff believe this is the case in this situation.
Page 8 of 148
6
Open area landscape requirements are 1 large tree + 2 shrubs per 2,500sf of open space. The
proposed development has 7,621sf of open space requiring 3 trees + 6 shrubs. Currently 29
trees and 126 shrubs are being proposed, meeting the requirement.
Vehicular hardscape canopy coverage is required for commercial properties. When fully
matures tree cover is required to provide canopy coverage for 40% of the hardcover. Based on
the proposed plans 16,940 sf of coverage is required. The proposed plan shows 17,150sf of
coverage. Coverage is being met primarily by trees within 7’ of the vehicular hardscape. 50%
of the canopy square footage is given credit for trees within 7’ of the edge. There are also
interior islands with tree cover that receive 100 % of the canopy coverage.
Signage
A separate Sign Permit Application with detailed sign information is required for any permanent
or temporary signage. Sheet EX01, Conceptual Site Plan shows a monument sign in the
northwest corner of the lot.
Impervious Surface Coverage
The allowed maximum impervious surface coverage per lot in the GB, General Business District
is 75%. Sheet C1, Site Plan indicates the site is 46% impervious. This requirement is met.
Traffic Study
In August 2020, Anoka County Highway Department completed a CSAH 23 Preliminary Traffic
Analysis from Lexington Avenue to Main Street. The analysis included the intersection of CSAH
23 (Lake Drive) and Kelly Street. The proposed commercial development is consistent with that
plan.
The commercial development meets the requirements for level of service (LOS). Intersections
currently operate at an overall Level of Service (LOS) A. Build condition overall LOS will continue
to operate at a level A. Existing roads and intersections providing access to the development
have the structural capacity to accommodate projected traffic from the proposed development.
EQB Environmental Review
An environmental review is not required for the existing commercial lot and proposed
development.
Wetlands
There are no wetlands on site.

Shoreland District
The site is not located in the Shoreland District.
Floodplain
There is no FEMA floodplain on site.
Additional City and Government Agency Review Comments
• Anoka County Highway Department reviewed the commercial development and had no
further comments.
• The Fire Department provided the following comments:
1. An apparatus turning radius diagram for the parking lot shall be submitted.
2. There cannot be a fence or other obstruction between the hydrant at the corner of
Lake Dr. and Kelly St. and the building. We do not want to shut Kelly St. down if
there is an incident.
• The Police Department did not have any comments.
• The Environmental Board reviewed the development proposal at their September 24,
2025 meeting and recommended approval with minor revisions.
• The Planning & Zoning Board held a public hearing on October 8, 2025. There were no
public comments. The Board recommended approval with the conditions as noted in
the staff report and added the following:
• Define the dimmed light level
• Limit vehicle sales to passenger vehicles only
• Define maintenance free fence materials
Agreements
Stormwater Maintenance Agreement
The stormwater facilities will be privately maintained and a Declaration for Maintenance of
Stormwater Facilities will be required. Both the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) and the
City of Lino Lakes shall be parties to the Declaration.
Development Agreement
Page 10 of 148
8
A Development Agreement is not required because this is an existing lot of record, not a
subdivision.
Site Improvement Performance Agreement
A Site Improvement Performance Agreement shall be executed prior to construction.
Comprehensive Plan
The Lino Lakes Dealership and Offices commercial development is consistent with the goals and
policies of the comprehensive plan regarding land use, housing, economic development,
transportation, local water management plan, sanitary sewer, water supply and parks,
greenway and trails.
Land Use Plan
The 2040 Comprehensive Plan guides the lot for commercial use. Lino Lakes Dealership and
Offices is consistent with commercial land use.
Housing Plan
The goals and policies of Housing Plan are not negatively impacted by the commercial
development.
Economic Development
Lino Lakes Dealership and Offices supports the City’s economic development plan.
Transportation Plan
Goals of the Transportation Plan are to ensure that street and roads are as safe as possible and
to reduce unnecessary traffic. CSAH 23 (Lake Drive) is an A-Minor Arterial Reliever county road.
Kelly Street is a local road. The exiting road system can accommodate the traffic generated by
the commercial development.
Local Water Management Plan
The purpose of the water management program is to protect, preserve, and use natural surface
and groundwater storage and retention systems and prevent erosion of soil into surface water
systems. The commercial development will construct stormwater management BMP’s such as
curb, gutter, and stormwater ponds.
Sanitary Sewer Plan
Page 11 of 148
9
The goal of the sanitary sewer plan is to maintain the city’s residents and businesses with an
affordable and safe sanitary sewer system. The commercial development will be served by an
affordable and safe sanitary sewer system.

A goal of the water supply plan is to provide residents and businesses with affordable potable
water that is safe and of high quality for daily consumption and fire demand. The commercial
development will be served with a safe and high quality water supply.
Parks, Greenways and Trails
A goal and policy of the parks, greenways and trails plan is to continue to development and
fund recreational activities in the City. A trail easement will be required along Lake Drive for
future trail construction.
Findings of Fact
The findings of fact are detailed in the attached resolution.

Business Name: Tyler Heubsch DBA Dealer Units
Address: 7920 Lake Drive, Lino Lakes, MN 55014
Prepared For: City of Lino Lakes – Commercial Site Plan Review & CUP
Date: 8/11/2025
Business Description:
It is a building designed for independent dealerships and or oƯice space for general businesses. The
zoning would give the capability to utilize the oƯice space for individual dealers who have their own LLC
through the state. Each dealership can have as many employees as they wish but will need the oƯice
space required for it. With each exterior oƯice there will be 5 additional parking spots which fits the legal
requirements to operate a dealership in Minnesota. They can buy and sell as many cars as they wish as
long as they abide by the rules of which they can’t put more cars on the lot other than where their 5
designated spaces are. Each dealership/ business will have their own signage with operating hours and
contact information on their door and or parking spots. Customers would meet at this building to sign all
paperwork necessary to finalize any purchase towards a vehicle. Each dealership can operate their
business any way they wish as long as all requirements are met and honored. This would be the primary
location where each business would operate. These oƯices are intended for small independent
businesses to meet all legal requirements to obtain a license and legally sell vehicles. It also would give
them access to private auctions to help get inventory. Per state law, no dealership can operate their
business on Sundays which includes absolutely no sales of any kind.
For example: my dealership is Key Motors which is solely owned and operated by myself, Tyler Huebsch.
You can see in the picture where my information is right above my oƯice door along with other
independent dealers.This is an idea of what each oƯice would look like on the exterior too. This is my
current oƯice in Ramsey.

7920 Lake Drive – Lino Lakes Dealership – Engineering Review
*Existing condition is the updated modeling of the regional drainage system with assumed
developed landcover Comments: 1. The proposed parking lot grading must be revised to raise it above the regional pond HWL of 906.53. Plowe (10/21/2025) HWL in Basin 1 contained within basin footprint. 2. CBMH 3 needs a sump to provide pretreatment of inflows to INF-1. Plowe (10/21/2025) Sumps added to two upstream catch basins 3. Rolled erosion blanketing containing natural netting is needed on proposed 3:1 slopes. Plowe (10/21/2025) Note added to Sheet 2.2 (trail grading). 4. Riprap stabilization is recommended instead of matting for INF-2 basin overflow. Plowe (10/21/2025) Basin 2 has been removed 5. Native vegetation must be shown over proposed infiltration BMPs and their side slopes in the landscaping plan. Plowe (10/21/2025) Noted; Seed mix 33-261 used 6. Trees should not be planted in the infiltration basin. Plowe (10/21/2025) Trees removed from basin. 7. Exfiltration must be removed from the modeling for determination of site rate control and HWLs. Plowe (10/21/2025) Removed from latest models 8. HydroCAD modeling should use the separate impervious/pervious runoff mode in model settings for most accurate hydrology. Plowe (10/21/2025) Noted; current modeling is the most conservative (higher rates, higher HWL) 9. Revise storm sewer to collect more of the surface flow from the eastern half of the parking area. a. Currently all surface flow goes to the southeast curb cut Plowe (10/21/2025) Attempts were made to collect as much runoff in the storm sewer system such as the revisions of parking lot grades and decrease in impervious cover. Due to cover requirements, final inlet elevation for DLI surcharge requirements, etc. a rain guardian is necessary at the low corner (higher than the HWL) so an additional rain guardian was added so the surface runoff can be handled adequately. WSB (10/29/2025) Complete 10. WSB (10/29/2025) Shift 8” storm sewer on the south side of the building such that it meets minimum 1:1 slope requirements from the existing easement line. 11. WSB (10/29/2025) Recommend combining storm sewer prior to outfall to INF-1 per markups on plans. Also recommend shifting CBMH-3 to the north curbline rather than within the driving lane.

Re: Environmental Comments – 7920 Lake Drive- Lino Lakes Dealership
Staff has reviewed the submittals and had recommended the following:
1. CBMH 3 should be a sump structure to provide pretreatment before discharging
into the infiltration basin. Otherwise, an additional structure should be proposed
prior to the outlet as a sump.
2. Recommend planting native species or low mow fescue adjacent to the parking
lot where the site drains to the stormwater bmp.
a. Filtration of additional buffer will be beneficial to soil stabilization,
pollutant filtration, and wildlife/pollinator habitat.
3. Rock mulch bed for landscaping to be flush with ground level.
4. Remove tree plantings from within the infiltration basin 1 as this will lead to
maintenance issues.
a. Removal of the trees from the basin will likely change the vehicular
hardscape coverage calculations
5. Infiltration Basin 1 is being proposed as a snow storage area, staff highly
recommends storing snow outside of the basin. Storage within the basin will lead
to higher sedimentation rates, increased chloride, and maintenance issues.
6. Retaining wall around infiltration basin 1 is concerning for future maintenance
operations.
7. Infiltration Basin 1 shows being stabilized with sod, provide live plugs and native
seed like Basin 2.
8. End cap parking breaks should have landscaping provided
9. 8’ privacy fence should be constructed of maintenance free material
a. Fencing should have 50% exterior coverage from shrubs or planting. The
East side of the development should provide landscaping on the exterior
of the proposed fence.
10. Glare shield to be provided on parking lot lighting
11. Snow storage should be done outside of the drainage and utility easement. Runoff
from the stockpile will end up in the city stormwater basin downstream.
Environmental Memo
Page 39 of 148
Page 2
a. If this area is to be used buffer or treatment should be provided before
entering the city system.
12. Combine one of the three outlets if feasible on the West side of the infiltration
basin. Having three separate outlets will create maintenance issues along with
sediment build up
13. NPDES permit will be required for the project. Provide proof of permit before
construction.
a. Provide inlet protection in both CB adjacent to Kelly Street
b. Add note that street sweeping of adjacent impervious surface is required
by the authorization of the City Engineer.
c. Final Erosion control review will be completed with future submittals.

CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 5.
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Curt Boehme , Chief of Police
MEETING DATE November 3, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: ATV / Golf Carts on Public Streets
INTRODUCTION
Police staff were tasked with researching the feasibility of modifying city ordinance to allow the
operation of golf carts and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) on city streets.
BACKGROUND
Existing city ordinance Chapter 807, Subd. 03 regulates the operation of ATVs and
snowmobiles. The ordinance allows snowmobiles to operate on city streets at speeds under 15
mph, while ATVs are prohibited from operating on any city street. The ordinance does not
address the use of golf carts; and since their use is not explicitly permitted, it is prohibited by
default.
Legal Authority
Minnesota Statute 169.045 authorizes the governing body of any city to permit, by ordinance,
the operation of motorized golf carts, all-terrain vehicles, utility task vehicles, or mini trucks on
designated roadways under its jurisdiction.
The statute requires that the city ordinance:
• Designate the specific roadways where operation is allowed
• Limit hours of operation unless the vehicle is equipped with original headlights taillights,
and rear-facing brake lights
• Prohibit operation during inclement weather
• Require the display of a slow-moving vehicle emblem
Permitting Process
Authorization to operate a motorized golf cart, all-terrain vehicle, utility task vehicles, or mini
truck must be granted through a permit process. Minnesota Statute establishes that the
permits may not exceed three years.
If the city proceeds, it would need to adopt a permit fee schedule and collect sufficient
information to determine permit eligibility. Permit fees in other communities range from no fee
Page 65 of 148
to $30. The permit would require at the minimum:
• Name and address of the applicant
• Model name, make, and year and number of the vehicle
• Driver's license information
• Insurance and registration in compliance with the provisions of Minnesota Statutes
Existing City Ordinances
Police staff reviewed ordinances from 20 neighboring and similarly sized communities to
determine how common it is to allow golf cart and ATV use. The review also identified common
restrictions used to address potential issues.
Findings:
• 9 communities do not allow golf cart or ATV use
• 9 communities allow golf cart use (7 of these also allow ATVs)
• 2 communities allow ATVs but not golf carts
City ATV Golf Notable Operation Limits (not all-inclusive)
1 Andover Yes Yes Operate at <15 mph. Golf car permit applicant must
provide verification of disability.

REQUESTED COUNCIL DIRECTION
Staff is seeking direction from the council whether to proceed with: drafting changes to existing
ordinance to allow for golf cart use, or golf cart and ATV use, establishing city-specific
restrictions, drafting a permit form, and establishing a dollar amount for a fee schedule for
further review by the council at a future meeting.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 6.
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director
MEETING DATE November 3, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: Amendment to Endurance Fitness, Professional Management Services
and Fitness Center Agreement
INTRODUCTION
The Professional Management Services and Fitness Center Agreement (attached) between
Endurance Fitness (EF) and the City of Lino Lakes was prepared by ISG prior to the opening of
The Rookery Activity Center in May, 2022.
BACKGROUND
All sections of the Agreement have worked well for both entities with the exception of the
revenue sharing formula. The formula was originally created by the ISG Group to incentivize
and reward EF for increasing Rookery memberships. The current calculation is 4% of Quarterly
Membership Revenue Less $16,245.
The reality of this formula would require quarterly membership revenue to reach $406,000
before any revenue sharing would be disbursed to EF. The quarterly membership revenue for
2025 was Q1 - $208,227, Q2 - $206,610, and Q3 - $175,623. Staff is proposing the following
revenue sharing formula for the duration of the existing agreement: 20% of the total
membership revenue exceeding $190,000, calculated and paid quarterly.
The EF instructors and personal trainers have the most “face time” with members and have the
ability to effectively recruit new Rookery members. The 20% revenue share will help
incentivize EF staff in assisting with our efforts to maintain our existing memberships and
recruit additional members.
EF has incurred significant net operating losses for 2022, 2023, and 2024. Factors include
additional wages due to fitness classes increasing from 46 classes per week in 2022 to 61
classes per week in 2025 ($18,000 annually), the purchase of spin bikes ($50,000), licensing
fees (Les Mills increased $2,400 annually), and equipment repairs ($18,700 in 2024). Note that
the total monthly management/membership fee has decreased from $12,500 in 2022 to
$11,665 beginning in 2023.
Staff is proposing that Endurance Fitness be reimbursed the following for 2025:
Cover Wages for Spin Bike Classes Instructors – EF purchased $50,000 of spin bikes in 2024 and
Page 68 of 148
offered the cycle classes as a premium class which would result in EF receiving 75% of the
collected fees. In January, 2025 all cycle classes were included in all memberships, thus
eliminating any potential revenue for EF. It makes sense for The Rookery to reimburse EF for
the cycle instructors (6 classes per week x $25 x 52 weeks = $7,800).
50% of ASCAP Annual Music License – EF has allowed The Rookery to play music (ie. Aqua
Aerobics classes, Blue Heron Days, special events, possibly throughout the facility) under their
ASCAP license. Staff proposes sharing the annual license fee ($1,210 / 2 = $605)
Reimbursement for cost of Fitness Orientation – Youth ages 10-16 are required to attend an
orientation prior to utilizing the fitness equipment. There is no charge for members to attend
the orientation, non-members are charged $10. Staff recommends paying EF $10 for each
orientation conducted. YTD – 97 (97 x $10 = $970).
Total proposed 2025 reimbursement amounts to $9,375. Anticipate reimbursing EF for the
same items for 2026, calculated December 31, 2026.
The original agreement will remain in effect until December 31, 2026.
REQUESTED COUNCIL DIRECTION
Allow staff to proceed with the above addendums with the Professional Management Services
and Fitness Center Agreement.

CITY COUNCIL
WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 7
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala
WORK SESSION DATE: November 3, 2025
TOPIC: Metropolitan Council 2050 System Statement
______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
Minn. Stat. 473.145 requires the Metropolitan Council (Met Council) to adopt a comprehensive
development guide for the metropolitan area. Minn. Stat. 473.175 requires the Met Council to
review local government comprehensive plans to determine compatibility with this regional
development guide. These plans are developed and updated every 10 years.
In early 2025, the Met Council adopted Imagine 2050 as the comprehensive regional
development guide. It establishes the regional vision for the 7-county metropolitan area for
the next 25 years. The guide includes 5 policy plans:
1. 2050 Land Use Plan
2. 2050 Transportation Policy Plan
3. 2050 Water Resources Policy Plan
4. 2050 Regional Parks Policy Plan
5. 2050 Housing Plan
On September 25, 2025, the Met Council issued the 2025 System Statement for Lino Lakes. The
system statement explains the implications of the policy plans for each individual community.
Pursuant to Minn. State 473.864, subd. 2, within 3 years after receiving a system statement
Lino Lakes is required to review its comprehensive plan to ensure continued conformity with
metropolitan system plans and amend if necessary. The amendment/update of the City’s
2040 Comprehensive Plan is due by December 31, 2028.

ANALYSIS
Community Designation
Imagine 2050 identifies Lino Lakes with the community designation of Suburban Edge. The
City’s prior designation of Emerging Suburban Edge has been eliminated. Suburban Edge
communities include cities, townships and portions of both that are primarily located on the
edge of the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) and primarily developed after the 1990’s.
Other Anoka County and surrounding communities that share this designation include
Centerville, Blaine, Andover, Ramsey and Hugo, Forest Lake.
Residential density requirements
Communities designated Suburban Edge are expected to plan for forecasted population and
household growth at a minimum average net density of 3.5 - units per acre for new
development and redevelopment.
From Imagine 2050 Regional Development Guide: Local governments and land within
the MUSA receive a higher level of regional services and investments than those in the
rural service area, such as regional wastewater services, regional highways, transit
service, and programs that support redevelopment. In return, the Met Council expects
jurisdictions in the MUSA to plan for and build the higher levels of development that
economically support those regional services. Compact development also reduces the
pressure on agricultural land areas and decreases the impact of development on natural
systems which helps manage the region’s land supply consistently and more effectively.
As discussed with the City Council in the fall of 2024, the minimum average density was
originally proposed to increase from the existing 3.0 units per acre to 4.0. The 3.5 units per
acres was ultimately what was adopted by Metropolitan Council.
Forecasts
Imagine 2050 forecasts for Lino Lakes’ population, households and employment are:
2020 (actual) 2030 2040 2050 Change
Population 21,399 24,600 26,600 29,200 4,600
Households 6,957 8,300 9,200 10,200 1,900
Employment 3,786 5,200 5,600 6,000 800
Page 80 of 148
3
Overall, the 2050 population and household forecasts show a decrease in what is currently for
in the 2040 plan. The following chart compares the City’s current 2040 Comprehensive Plan
projections with Imagine 2050.
Comp Plan Thrive
2040 2050 Difference
Population 31,100 29,200 (1,900)
Households 10,600 10,200 (400)
Employment 6,000 6,000 NC
The forecasted 2050 population projections decrease by 1,900 persons and 400 households
over what is currently forecasted for 2040. The reduction in forecasted growth is, in part, due
to the continued evaluation and study of the northeast metro water supply constraints.
Employment projections are expected to remain the same.
Housing Policy Plan
Communities are required to include a housing element and implementation program in their
comprehensive plan. Minn. Stat. 473.859, Subd 2(c) states:
“A land use plan must also include a housing element containing standards, plans and
programs for providing adequate housing opportunities to meet existing and projected
local and regional housing needs, including but not limited to the use of official controls
and land use planning to promote the availability of land for the development of low and
moderate income housing.”
For 2025, the rental affordability limit is 60% and the ownership affordability limit is 80% of the
area median income (AMI). In 2025, the area median income for a household of four is
$132,400. The current affordability amounts are as follows:
2025 Rental housing
# Bedrooms 30% AMI 50% AMI 60% AMI 80% AMI
Efficiency $694 $1,158 $1,389 $1,852
1 Bedroom $744 $1,241 $1,489 $1,985
2 Bedrooms $894 $1,490 $1,788 $2,384
3 Bedrooms $1,032 $1,721 $2,065 $2,753
4 Bedroom $1,152 $1,920 $2,304 $3,072
Page 81 of 148

Ownership housing
For owner-occupied housing, the income limit includes principal, interest, property taxes and
home insurance.
Family Income Level Affordable Home Price
80% AMI ($104,200) $306,500
60% AMI ($79,440) $225,300
50% AMI ($66,200) $183,700
30% AMI ($39,700) $98,000
The Region’s Total Future Need for Affordable Housing for 2031 to 2040 is forecasted to be
39,700 units. Per the System Statement, Lino Lakes’ share of the region’s need for low and
moderate income housing for the decade is 428 new units affordable to households up to 60%
of area median income (AMI) or below. In comparison, the Met Council’s goal for 2021-2030
was 515 units up to 80% of area median income.
Affordable Housing Unit Needs for Lino Lakes
Threshold # Housing Units
At or below 30% AMI 207
31 to 50% AMI 190
51 to 0% AMI 31
Total Units 428
To accommodate our share of the region’s affordable housing need, we are required to guide
residential land at densities sufficient to create opportunities for affordable housing. The City
may choose between two options:
Option 1: Guide sufficient land at minimum residential densities of 10 units/acre to support
your city or township's total allocation of future affordable housing need for 2031-2040
Or
Option 2: Guide sufficient land at minimum residential densities of:
• 12 units/acre to support your city or township's 2031-2040 allocation of future affordable
housing need at 30% AMI or less.
Page 82 of 148
5
• 8 units/acre to support your city or township's allocation of future affordable housing need at
31-60% AMI. This combines your city or township's allocation of 31-50% AMI and 51-60% AMI.
The City chose to implement option 1 in the 2040 plan. However, staff notes that the densities
in Imagine 2050 represents a change from a minimum of 8 units/acre to 10 units/acre.
Under Option 1 we can guide 42.8 acres of residential land at 10 units per acre to satisfy our
affordable housing unit needs (428 units/10 units per acre = 42.8 acres). Alternatively, the City
could choose to guide 17.25 acres of residential land at 12 units per acre and 27.6 acres at 8
units per acre under Option 2 to meet the minimum requirements.
Currently the City’s Planned Residential/Commercial, and Signature Gateway Land Use Districts
allow 8-10 units per acre. The Town Center District allows 10 – 24 units per acre. The City
does not currently have a district that has a minimum density of 12 units per acre.
This requirement will require some modification to our individual land use district density
requirements.
Climate Policy
New requirements were added by the State Legislature in 2023 to address climate mitigation
and adaptation. This will include a plan that acknowledges statewide targets for GHC
reductions of 50% by 2030 and net zero by 2050, greenhouse gas emission inventory and at
least one strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Transportation Policy Plan
The 2050 Transportation Policy Plan is the metropolitan system plan for highways, transit and
aviation to which local comprehensive plans must conform. The only major improvement to
the highway (I-35E, I-35W or CR 14), transit (Metro Transit) or aviation (Seaplane Base) systems,
identified in the System Statement, is the reconstruction of the I-35E/CRJ interchange currently
underway. During the comprehensive plan update, we will identify potential transit service
options and review any updates to Met Council’s aviation long term comprehensive plan.
Other plan considerations include Regional Bicycle Transportation Network, Minor
System/Functional Classification and Freight changes. The Regional Bicycle Transportation
Network (RBTN) identifies trunk arterials of the overall bikeways system that connect to
regional employment and activity centers. The RBTN identifies routes along CR 14 (Main
Street), CSAH 23 (Lake Drive) and CSAH 21 (Centerville Road) and through the Regional Park and
these routes have already been incorporated into the City’s Park, Greenway and Trail System
Plan. Lino Lakes will describe and map the functional classification of all existing roads and
Page 83 of 148
6
identify any changes from the existing to proposed classifications. No freight terminals are
identified in Lino Lakes.
Water Resources Policy Plan
The Water Resources Plan takes an integrated approach to water supply, water quality and
wastewater issues and identifies key concepts to maximize the benefits of regional investments
into wastewater, water supply and surface water. Lino Lakes shall develop components in the
comprehensive plan to address wastewater, surface water and water supply issues. The City
currently will be updating its Surface Water Management Plan and Water Supply Plans in 2026-
27.
Regional Parks Policy Plan
The Met Council Regional Parks System includes 66 regional parks and 487 miles of regional
trails. Regional parks and trails within Lino Lakes are:
• Park Reserves
o Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve
• Regional Trails
o Bunker Hills-Chain of Lakes Regional Trail
o Central Anoka Trail
o Chain of Lakes – Otter Lake Regional Trail
o Rice Creek North Regional Trail
Anoka County is one of Met Council’s ten regional park implementing agencies and Lino Lakes
will continue to work with the County on regional park development. The above parks and
trails are currently addressed in the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
REQUESTED COUNCIL DIRECTION
Discussion only. The Planning and Zoning Board will be reviewing the System Statement at
their November 12, 2025, meeting.

Regional Development Plan Adoption
On February 12, 2025, the Met Council adopted Imagine 2050 as a comprehensive
development guide for the Twin Cities metro region. Imagine 2050 includes regional systems
plans, including the 2050 Transportation Policy Plan, the 2050 Water Policy Plan, the 2050 Regional Parks and Trails Policy Plan, and the 2050 Housing Policy Plan. The development guide also outlines land use policies and community designations important for local comprehensive planning updates.
The Metropolitan Council is now issuing systems statements pursuant to State statute.
Systems Statements
Metropolitan systems plans are long-range comprehensive plans for the regional systems – transit, highways, and airports; wastewater services; and parks and open space – along with the capital budgets for those systems. Systems statements explain the implications of
metropolitan system plans for each community in the region. They are intended to help communities prepare or update their comprehensive plan, as required by the Metropolitan Land Planning Act:
Within nine months after receiving a system statement for an amendment to a metropolitan system plan, and within three years after receiving a system statement
issued in conjunction with the decennial review required under section 473.864,
subdivision 2, each affected local governmental unit shall review its comprehensive plan
to determine if an amendment is necessary to ensure continued conformity with
metropolitan system plans. If an amendment is necessary, the governmental unit shall prepare the amendment and submit it to the council for review.
The system statement includes information specific to a community, including:
• community designation or designation(s) • forecasted population, households, and employment through the year 2050 • guidance on appropriate densities to ensure that regional services and costly regional infrastructure can be provided as efficiently as possible
• affordable housing need allocation.
In the following sections, this systems statement contains an overview of key changes and updates to the policies and plans from the previous 2040 regional development guide and specific system changes that affect your community:
• Transportation, including metropolitan highways, aviation, and transit
• Water Resources, including wastewater, surface water, and water supply planning
2025 SYSTEM STATEMENT INTRODUCTION 1Page 86 of 148
• Regional parks and trails
Regional Development Guide
The development guide adopted in February 2025 reflects the vision and plans adopted by
communities for a prosperous, equitable, and resilient region with abundant opportunities for all to live, work, play, and thrive.
Regional values are shared core beliefs or principles that guide the work of developing and implementing Imagine 2050. The values build on those identified in Thrive MSP 2040 and
incorporate what we’ve learned over the last ten years as well as the common values
expressed by local governments and partners across the region. These values guide the Met Council in building partnerships and developing policies and programs to support Imagine 2050.
The Met Council has endorsed the following goals for our region to achieve through our
policies, practices, programs, and partnerships:
• Our region is equitable and inclusive. • Our communities are healthy and safe. • Our region is dynamic and resilient. • We lead on addressing climate change.
• We protect and restore natural systems.
Dispute Process
If your community disagrees with elements of this systems statement or has any questions about the process, please contact your Sector Representative, Emma Dvorak, at 651-602-1399, to review and discuss potential issues or concerns. The Council and local government
units and districts have usually resolved issues relating to the system statement through discussion.
Request for Hearing
If a local governmental unit and the Met Council are unable to resolve disagreements over the
content of a system statement, the unit or district may, by resolution, request that a hearing be
conducted by the Met Council’s Land Use Advisory Committee or by the State Office of Administrative Hearings to consider amendments to the system statement. According to Minnesota Statutes section 473.857, the request shall be made by the local governmental unit or school district within 60 days after receiving the system statement. If the Met Council does
not receive a hearing request within 60 days, the statement becomes final.
Next Steps in the Regional Planning Cycle
Receipt of this system statement and the metropolitan system plans triggers a community’s obligation to review and amend its comprehensive plan by December 2028. Local comprehensive plans and amendments will be reviewed by the Met Council for conformance to
2025 SYSTEM STATEMENT INTRODUCTION 2Page 87 of 148
metropolitan system plans, consistency with Met Council policies, and compatibility with adjacent and affected governmental units. Updated local comprehensive plans are due to the Met Council for review by Dec. 31, 2028.
Forecasts
The Met Council uses the forecasts developed as part of Imagine 2050 to plan for regional systems. Communities should base their planning work on these forecasts. Given the nature of long-range forecasts and the planning timeline undertaken by most communities, the Met
Council will maintain on-going dialogue with communities to consider any changes in growth
that may have an impact on regional systems.

Housing Policy
The purpose of the Housing Policy Plan, adopted by the Metropolitan Council in February 2025, is to provide leadership and guidance on regional housing needs and challenges and to support Imagine 2050. The Housing Policy Plan provides an integrated policy framework that unifies our existing roles in housing and identifies opportunities to expand our role in supporting safe, affordable and dignified housing in the region.
Consistent with state statute (Minn. Stat. 473.859, subd. 2(c) and subd. 4), cities and townships must include a housing element and implementation program in their local comprehensive plans that address existing and projected housing needs.
The Met Council has determined the regional need for low-income housing for the decade of 2031-2040 (see Appendix B in the Housing Policy Plan).
Based on regional forecasts, the regional need for future affordable housing units is 39,700. Lino Lake’ share of the region’s future need for low-income housing is 428 new units of
affordable housing. Of these new units, the need is for 207 affordable to households earning at or below 30% of AMI, 190 affordable to households earning 31% to 50% of AMI, and 31 affordable to households earning 51% to 60% of AMI.

Future Affordable Housing Need allocations may be updated throughout the decade if local projected sewered growth changes.
Lino Lakes should consult the complete Housing Policy Plan when preparing its local
comprehensive plan. In addition, Lino Lakes should consult Imagine 2050 and the Local Planning Handbook for specific requirements necessary for the housing element and housing implementation programs of local comprehensive plans.
Climate Policy
In 2023, the State legislature amended the Metropolitan Land Planning Act (Minn Stat. § 473.859, subd. 2 and 7) to include new requirements that comprehensive plans address climate mitigation and adaptation. In climate policy, mitigation strategies focus on minimizing contributions to climate change through efficiency measures and reducing greenhouse gas
emissions. Adaptation strategies focus on how to change policies and practices to adjust to
ongoing and future impacts of climate change.
The Met Council will assist communities in addressing climate mitigation and adaptation elements by providing communities with greenhouse gas inventories and technical assistance for identifying appropriate strategies.
Community Designation
Community designations group jurisdictions with similar characteristics for the application of regional policies. The Council uses community designations to guide regional growth and development; establish land use expectations including overall development densities and patterns; and outline the respective roles of the Council and individual communities, along with
strategies for planning for forecasted growth. If there are discrepancies between the Imagine 2050 Community Designations Map and the Community Designation map contained within this systems statement, communities should follow the specific guidance contained in this document. Imagine identifies the City of Lino Lakes with the community designation of Suburban Edge on the Community Designation map.
Suburban Edge municipalities are on the edge of the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA)
and primarily developed after the 1990s. While denser downtown or core areas are often present, the predominate development pattern is low or medium density residential subdivisions characterized by cul-de-sacs and limited access to major thoroughfares for traffic movement. These areas also feature extensive undeveloped land planned for low to medium
residential densities along with some areas guided for industrial and commercial uses, often
near highway intersections. The planning challenge in Suburban Edge areas is to improve street connectivity and integrate sustainable development practices, ensuring that growth and conservation effectively coexist. Suburban Edge cities may have more than one community designation based on forecasted growth and current or planned development patterns. This
happens generally when areas in a municipality either have an historic development pattern
more appropriate for a different designation or portions of the municipality are not currently planned for future development and are still considered rural or agricultural in nature.

2025 TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM STATEMENT
CITY OF LINO LAKES
Transportation Policy Plan Overview
The 2050 Transportation Policy Plan (TPP) is the metropolitan system plan for transportation,
including highways, transit, bicycle, pedestrian, freight, aviation, and travel demand
management, to which local comprehensive plans must conform. The TPP also includes regional transportation objectives, supporting policies and actions, and regional performance measures. The full TPP can be found at the following url:
https://imagine2050.metrocouncil.org/chapters/transportation.
This system statement summarizes the regional systems and any significant changes to them,
other important regional transportation considerations, and changes made to the 2050 TPP since the 2040 TPP was adopted in 2015. Additionally, this system statement highlights those elements of the system plan that apply to your community. The TPP incorporates policy direction and new 2050 socioeconomic forecasts adopted by the Metropolitan Council in
Imagine 2050 and extends the planning horizon from 2040 to 2050.
Federal and State Requirements
The TPP is a document that meets both state requirements outlined in statute for a metropolitan system plan, and federal requirements as a fiscally constrained long-range investment plan for surface transportation. As the region has recently received a significant
number of new and increased sources of transportation revenue, the 2050 TPP no longer includes an increased revenue scenario, but it does include additional opportunities for investment. The plan also continues to assume competitive transportation funding (e.g., state and federal discretionary programs like INFRA and Corridors of Commerce) will be sought and amended into the plan as awarded.
Under the Metropolitan Land Planning Act, local comprehensive plans are expected to conform to the projects currently identified as funded in the fiscally constrained plan, which is the official metropolitan system plan. The additional opportunities for investment may be identified separately in local plans as unfunded proposals but are not required to be included.
Federal requirements also call for metropolitan transportation plans to be performance based,
so the TPP includes objectives, policies, and actions for the regional transportation system. These objectives, policies, and actions guide the Council and regional partners in their planning and investment in the surface transportation system.
In addition to reviewing this system statement, consult the TPP to ensure that your community’s local comprehensive plan and plan amendments conform to the metropolitan
transportation system plan. Communities should also review the Imagine 2050 Land Use Policy for land use considerations near certain transportation infrastructure. The format of this plan is different than past TPPs. The plan is no longer separated by chapter, rather each modal plan is distinguished from each other as individual investment or system plans. If the Council has a role in the funding of a regional system, the plan is identified as an investment
2025 SYSTEM STATEMENT TRANSPORTATION 7Page 92 of 148
plan, if not, then it is identified as a system plan. There is no appendix in the 2050 TPP, supporting documentation is combined directly with the specific investment or system plan and identified as support documentation.
2050 Transportation Policy Plan Regional Systems
Adopted by the Metropolitan Council in February 2025, the TPP identifies the regional transportation systems, regional transportation objectives and policies, and other regional transportation issues communities should consider when producing their own comprehensive
plans. This section will cover descriptions of each system and key changes made to these
systems in the TPP.
Regional Transportation Policies and Actions
In addition to identifying regional systems and investment needs, the TPP includes a set of
policies and related actions to guide investments, planning and priorities for the regional transportation system. The policies and actions cover many topics including safety, highway planning priorities, complete streets, non-motorized transportation, equity, climate and natural systems. Communities are encouraged to incorporate regional policies in their local plans.
Regional Highway System
The Metropolitan Highway System is made up of principal arterials, shown in Figure 1 of the Highway Investment Plan and included with this system statement. This system is federally
known as the National Highway System. The Metropolitan Highway System is a vital element
of the regional transportation system; while minor arterials are lower order roadways that provide connectivity to and relieve congestion in the principal arterial system. Principal and minor arterials combined represent the Regional Highway System.
Key Changes from the 2040 TPP
• A major shift from previous TPPs is that potential new revenues are no longer
considered a means to resolve unmet needs on the system. The 2050 TPP does not have a current and increased revenue scenario as a result. Instead, the 2050 TPP identifies funded projects in the fiscally constrained plan and additional opportunities beyond what is funded. Multiple studies completed since the 2040 TPP identified additional opportunities for investment, these are shown in figures 8 and 10.
• The 2050 TPP identifies highway investments in five major categories: o Safety: Figure 7 in the Highway Investment Plan shows regionally significant safety investments. o Spot mobility: Figure 8 in the Highway Investment Plan shows funded regionally
significant spot mobility projects alongside identified additional opportunities for investment. o Interchanges: Figure 9 in the Highway Investment Plan shows funded and planned regionally significant interchange investments. o Managed lanes: Figure 10 in the Highway Investment Plan shows the existing,
under construction and planned E-ZPass system. It also includes managed lane corridors which are identified additional opportunities for investment.
2025 SYSTEM STATEMENT TRANSPORTATION 8Page 93 of 148
o Targeted regional capacity: Figure 11 in the Highway Investment Plan shows funded and planned regionally significant highway capacity investments. It also includes potential future capacity enhancements identified in studies.
• Modifications were made to the 2050 TPP that removed appendix naming found in previous plans and reworks previous chapters. Support documents for the Highway
Investment Plan are now: Functional Classification, Preliminary Interchange Approval Process, and Congestion Management Process. The project list appendix item is now a
separate section of the TPP, titled Long Range Highway and Transit Capital Project
List. This updated list identifies projects from 2025 to 2050.
Regional Transit System
The regional transit system is comprised of the region’s transitways, regular route bus
services, demand response services, transit centers and park and rides, and transit advantages. This system is operated by six different service providers in the region. The COVID-19 pandemic upended transit, and some services vary dramatically from pre-pandemic levels. Many routes were suspended in the region and are still in the process of restructuring.
Key Changes from the 2040 TPP
• A major shift from previous TPPs is from new revenues raised to fill budget gaps in the system. A new source of revenue for transit was created in 2023 to fund operations and maintenance for the region. Similar to highways, the Transit Investment Plan no longer contains a current and increased revenue scenario. The projects shown in the 2050 TPP are those in the fiscally constrained plan. Additional opportunities for investment
are also identified in the plan and these may be incorporated into local comprehensive plans.
• Several transitways have been implemented and opened and additional transitways
have been identified in the region. Multiple arterial bus rapid transit (BRT) routes have
been completed and put into operation, while more alignments have been identified in studies for future implementation. The Transit Investment Plan identifies investments planned to be implemented in the 2050 TPP: o Two light rail extensions (Green Line Extension, Blue Line Extension)
o Two dedicated BRT routes (Gold Line, Purple Line)
o Five arterial BRT routes (B Line, E Line, F Line, G Line, H Line)
• Modifications were made to the 2050 TPP that removed appendix naming found in previous plans and reworks previous chapters. Support documents for the Transit
Investment Plan are now: Transit Design and Performance Guidelines.
Regional Aviation System
The regional aviation system is composed of Minneapolis-St Paul International Airport, eight
publicly owned regional airports, and two privately owned seaplane bases. These regional
airports are owned and operated by the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) and local communities.
2025 SYSTEM STATEMENT TRANSPORTATION 9Page 94 of 148
Key Changes from the 2040 TPP
• The MAC completed an update to the Long-Term Comprehensive Plan (LTCP) for the Minneapolis-St Paul International Airport in 2024. This update moves the planning
horizon to 2040 with new operation forecasts, anticipated noise impacts and capital
project needs.
• The Aviation System Plan now identifies all facilities where aviation activity may take place in the region beyond regional airports. These facilities may be incorporated into and considered in local planning. Aviation appendix items of the TPP are now included
as a single support document titled Aviation Supporting Information.
Regional Bicycle System
The regional bicycle system is identified through the Regional Bicycle Transportation Network
(RBTN). The RBTN is made up of alignments and corridors. Corridors are shown where more specific alignments within those corridors have not yet been designated. The process used to develop the RBTN, the general principles and analysis factors used in its development, and studies done to analyze and update the network can be found in the Bicycle Investment Plan.
The RBTN was established in the 2040 TPP with the intent of achieving the following goals:
• Establish an integrated and seamless network of on-street bikeways and off-road trails.
• Provide the vision for a “backbone” arterial network to serve daily bicycle trips by
connecting regional destinations and local bicycle networks.
• Encourage cities, counties, park agencies, and the state to plan and implement future bikeways in support of the network vision.
The RBTN also incorporates regional bicycle barriers which are established in the TPP as the
region’s most significant physical barriers to everyday bicycle travel and include freeways and
expressways, railroad corridors, and secondary rivers and streams. They were developed and analyzed through the Regional Bicycle Barrier Study, the map which displays these barriers can be found here: Regional Bicycle Barriers Map.
Key Changes from 2040 TPP
• The RBTN has been refined and expanded since it was first implemented in the 2040
TPP. Requests from local governments to add and revise RBTN corridors and
alignments prompted the Regional Bicycle Guidelines and Measures Study which developed specific measures used in reviewing update requests submitted by local agencies.
• The RBTN undergoes a formal update of alignments and corridors about every 2 years.
The next formal update will take place in 2025 prior to the 2026 Regional Solicitation.
Regional Freight System
The regional freight system is composed of interconnecting transportation modes, some of
which are unique to freight and some which overlap with passenger travel modes. There are five distinct modes of freight transportation: highway trucks, railroads, river barges, air freight, and pipelines. Combined with intermodal or warehouse/distribution terminals and supporting
2025 SYSTEM STATEMENT TRANSPORTATION 10Page 95 of 148
infrastructure these modes of transportation comprise the regional freight system, known as the Metropolitan Freight System.
Key Changes from 2040 TPP
• E-commerce has become an increasingly important segment of freight movements and
deliveries of goods to homes. The Urban Freight Distribution Study focused on e-commerce trends and impacts or opportunities of last-mile parcel deliveries in regional communities. The study notes that as urban deliveries become more common local communities are encouraged to create curb management policies, consider delivery
needs in their complete streets planning and identify microhubs for last mile parcel
distribution in addition to other recommendations.
Pedestrian System
The Council coordinates with local partners on pedestrian issues and trends, and aids in
funding for pedestrian needs in a variety of ways.
Key Changes from 2040 TPP
• In previous TPPs pedestrian and bicycle travel were combined into one chapter and discussed together. The pedestrian system is now discussed and considered as an independent investment section of the 2050 TPP.
• To address rising pedestrian danger on our streets, the Council undertook a study to create the Pedestrian Safety Action Plan, which was released in 2022. This plan includes analysis of crash trends in the region, recommendations of actions to take to increase pedestrian safety, and a weighted crash score on every road in the region to
aid in future safety planning and project prioritization. Communities are encouraged to
incorporate the plan’s findings into the pedestrian elements of their comprehensive plans.
Travel Demand Management
Travel demand management (TDM) is the application of strategies, programs and policies to increase the efficiency of transportation systems by reducing travel demand, or redistributing this demand in space or in time. These initiatives are intended to inspire new travel habits to support infrastructure investments and a more efficient use of the transportation system by
reducing the demand for personal vehicle trips.
Key Changes from 2040 TPP
• TDM has its own dedicated investment plan and discussion in the 2050 TPP, which is completely new to the plan. This section describes key partners in TDM in the region and identifies roles and responsibilities for these partners. As a result of this new
investment plan, local communities are being asked to discuss how they include travel
demand management strategies in their local plans, since some of them have relationships to land use controls and ordinances.
• The Council conducted the Regional Travel Demand Management Study that concluded
with the Regional Travel Demand Management Action Plan in 2023. The Action Plan
outlines a structure for a regional TDM program to implement and operationalize
2025 SYSTEM STATEMENT TRANSPORTATION 11Page 96 of 148
strategies, programs and incentives that achieve reductions in single-occupant vehicle trips, vehicle-miles traveled, and greenhouse gas emissions through travel behavior change. The Action Plan is summarized in the 2050 TPP Travel Demand Management
Investment Plan.
System Plan Considerations Affecting Your Community
Your community should consult the complete TPP in preparing its local comprehensive plan. In addition, your community should consult Imagine 2050 and the current version of the
Metropolitan Council’s Local Planning Handbook (LPH) for specific information needed in its
comprehensive plan. Specific system plan considerations affecting your community are detailed below.
Regional Highway System
There are principal arterials located within your community:
• Interstate 35E
• Anoka CSAH 14
• Anoka CSAH 23
The 2050 TPP includes the following regional highway mobility improvements in your community as shown in the Highway Investment Plan Figures 8, 9, 10, 11:
• Funded or Planned Interchanges
o I-35E at County Road J
Regional Transit System
Your community is located within the following Transit Market Areas: TMA 4 and TMA 5.
• TMA 4 is primarily Suburban Edge communities along with portions of Suburban communities. It is characterized by low population and job densities that do not support frequent local transit service and a spread out, often circuitous, street network that
hinders efficient routing. Transit service in Market Area 4 is mainly peak-period express and commuter service at park-and- rides which can effectively gather the lower density transit demand into one spot. There are some suburban local routes, including suburb-to-suburb connectors, although service is typically very infrequent. Non-regular route transit, usually dial-a-ride, is generally available.
• TMA 5 is primarily rural communities including rural centers but also some suburban edge communities as well as freestanding town centers characterized by very low-density development or undeveloped land not well suited for regular-route transit
service outside of limited peak-period express and commuter service.
Your community is located within the Transit Capital Levy District.
There are no transitways or high frequency bus routes in your community.
2025 SYSTEM STATEMENT TRANSPORTATION 12Page 97 of 148
Regional Aviation System
All communities must include an aviation element in the transportation sections of their comprehensive plans. The degree of aviation planning and development considerations that need to be included in the comprehensive plan varies by community. Even those communities not impacted directly by an airport have a responsibility to include airspace protection in their comprehensive plan. The protection element should include potential hazards to air navigation
including electronic interference. Local comprehensive plans can also begin to consider other aviation uses which do not take place at airports, like drones.
• Your community is within the influence area of Anoka-Blaine Airport and Surfside Seaplane Base. The LTCP for the Anoka-Blaine airport is shown in the Aviation
Supporting Information document of the TPP. The full Anoka-Blaine LTCP can be found
here. The Anoka-Blaine LTCP has not been updated since the 2040 TPP was last updated in 2020 but is planned to be updated and amended into the TPP in 2027.
• Consideration and information for Surfside Seaplane Base should be updated in your
community’s 2050 Comprehensive Plan.
Communities influenced by this airport should review the LTCP to ensure that the updated comprehensive plan developed by the community remains consistent with the airport plans. Consult the LPH for specific comprehensive planning requirements and considerations such as airport zoning, noise and other environmental mitigation, airport development and economic
impacts, ground access needs, infrastructure requirements, and general land use compatibility.
Local communities should also consider other facilities which may generate aviation activity, such as heliports or private air facilities. To see all aviation facilities in the region including those that are not defined as a part of the regional aviation system, refer to Figure 6 of the Aviation System Plan.
Regional Bicycle Planning
The RBTN is depicted on Figure 2 of the Bicycle Investment Plan. The network consists of Tier 1 and Tier 2 corridors and alignments. These are not intended to be the only bicycle facilities in
the region, and local units should also include local network plans in their communities.
In your community there are one RBTN corridors and three alignments. Your community should incorporate the RBTN map within your local bicycle plan maps and use your comprehensive planning process to identify suitable alignments within and along the RBTN corridors for future incorporation into the TPP. In addition, agencies should plan their local on
and off-road bikeway networks to connect to the designated Tier 1 and Tier 2 alignments, as
well as any new network alignments within RBTN corridors to be proposed in local comprehensive plans. Bikeway projects that complete segments of, or connect to, the RBTN are given priority for federal transportation funds through the Transportation Advisory Board’s biannual regional solicitation.
In your community there are one or more identified bicycle barrier crossings. To determine
which regional bicycle barriers and prioritized barrier crossing improvement locations occur within your community, please review the Regional Bicycle Barriers Online Map. The tiered crossing improvement locations are used as one alternative criterion in the Regional Solicitation to distribute federal transportation funds. Communities are encouraged to analyze
2025 SYSTEM STATEMENT TRANSPORTATION 13Page 98 of 148
and address the need for new bicycle barrier crossings or improved bicycle facilities at existing barrier crossings.
Regional Freight Planning
The Council encourages all local governments to plan for freight movement in their communities. Trucks are the major mode of freight movement in the region and across the nation to distribute consumer goods as well as move manufactured goods and commodities,
and they operate in every community.
The Metropolitan Freight System and the National Highway Freight Network are shown in Figures 1 and 5 of the Freight Investment Plan, respectively. There is a freight facility in your community: Interstate 35E. These networks and facilities should be incorporated into your local comprehensive plan. The local plan should also plan for compatible adjacent land uses,
consider last-mile freight delivery needs and curb management strategies for local deliveries, if applicable. Refer to the Urban Freight Distribution Study for specific guidance on how to consider e-commerce and local deliveries on the local transportation system.
Other Transportation Policy Plan Considerations
Pedestrian Planning
The Council encourages local governments to address pedestrian needs for transportation in their local comprehensive plans. The necessary planning for pedestrians can be done within your community’s comprehensive plan. An adopted pedestrian, active transportation, or multimodal plan can be included as an addendum to or in addition to the comprehensive plan. This planning should also include ensuring your local community has a current ADA self-
evaluation that covers the public rights-of-way for transportation. Agencies with 50 or more employees must also have an adopted ADA transition plan, not just a self-evaluation.
Travel Demand Management
The Council encourages local governments to address travel demand management needs for areas which experience traffic congestion. Your community is served by Anoka County TMO. Local governments should identify the transportation management organization which serves
their community and describe any policies, ordinances, practices or programs in place which would aid in regional TDM work in their local comprehensive plans.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
State law directs the Minnesota Department of Transportation to establish targets to meet greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction for the seven-county metro to reach net-zero emissions in the transportation sector by 2050. Your community must include plans or
strategies to limit GHG emissions on the surface transportation system in your comprehensive
plan to meet the designated regional targets.

2025 WATER RESOURCES SYSTEM STATEMENT
CITY OF LINO LAKES
Water Policy Plan Overview
The 2050 Water Policy Plan includes policies and strategies to achieve four objectives that
support our regional goals:
•CLIMATE: The region’s waters and water services are protected from and maderesilient to the ongoing and future effects of climate change.
•INVESTMENTS: Water protection, planning, management, and infrastructure
investments are optimized to ensure public and ecosystem health are fully protectednow and for future generations.
•HEALTH: Natural waters, source waters, water services, and infrastructure are
managed, restored, and enhanced to protect public and ecosystem health that ensures
a high quality of life in the region.
•EQUITY: The benefits of clean and abundant water and water services are defined bylocal needs and environmental context, accessible, and justly shared by all residentsand communities.
These objectives help to protect our region’s groundwater and surface water, ensure the sustainability of water sources and utility service providers, support public and ecosystem health, and promote a thriving economy, sound development decisions, and a high quality of life for all who call this region home.
The Water Policy Plan strives to generate innovative actions, including water reuse, resource
recovery, and nature-based approaches, that have multiple benefits at both the local and regional scales. Additionally, the plan includes policies and strategies to address the impacts of climate change, equitable access to water benefits, and water sector workforce concerns. The region has a strong history of water planning and management, and the 2050 Water Policy Plan continues this tradition. It progresses our organization and the region to ensure
clean and abundant water for current and future generations.
Key Concepts
Adopted by the Metropolitan Council in February 2025, the 2050 Water Policy Plan - including the regional water policies, Wastewater System Plan, and the Metro Area Water Supply Plan -
outline the conditions for regional wastewater service, surface water management, and water
supply planning. Local comprehensive plans shall conform to these conditions. The Policy Plan incorporates the following changes:
2025 SYSTEM STAT(MENT WATER RESOURCES 22Page 107 of 148
Integrated Planning (next steps)
The Water Policy Plan is a guide for managing wastewater, water supply, surface waters, and groundwater. It takes an integrated approach to water planning and management from local to federal and Tribal levels, which helps to ensure a clean and plentiful water future. Water planning organizations need to work together to address issues that transcend political boundaries to achieve holistic water management.
Subregional Approach to Planning
The Met Council is committed to continuing and broadening the subregional approach to integrated water planning. Subregional groups will be expanded to include stakeholders from
Tribal Nations, state agencies, county planning staff, municipal public works and planning staff,
watershed organizations, non-governmental organizations, and others who want to participate in discussions about localized, integrated water concerns.
Water Equity
The Water Policy Plan prioritizes equitable access to clean water and water services, especially for historically marginalized communities. Reaching these outcomes requires initiatives such as prioritizing investments in overburdened communities, addressing historical harms, creating accessible information and communications, and including diverse
perspectives of community members in water planning and management decisions.
Climate and Natural Systems
The Water Policy Plan includes climate and natural systems objectives, policies, and
actions, which guide the Met Council and communities to employ approaches that lead to sustainable water and water services. This includes building water resiliency, limiting risks, and benefiting a growing and a thriving economy through convening partners, new tools and technologies, water conservation and protection efforts, and water planning and technical assistance.
Considerations Affecting Your Community
Regional Sewer Service
The treatment of wastewater is foundational to ensure public health and protect the region’s
natural environments. Reclamation of water and byproducts from the wastewater treatment process can help our region meet sustainability and climate goals. To operate and steward the regional wastewater system, it is essential for the Met Council to understand local conditions, identify current and future needs, and take innovative approaches to address the region’s
water sustainability challenges.
Local governments are required to submit both a wastewater plan element to their comprehensive plan and a comprehensive sewer plan describing service needs from the Met Council (Minnesota Statutes 473.513). A complete list of requirements for the comprehensive sewer plan, depending on wastewater service methods in your community, can be found in the
Water Resources section of the Local Planning Handbook.
2025 SYSTEM STATEMENT WATER RESOURCES 23Page 108 of 148
Forecasts
The forecasts of population, households, employment, and wastewater flows for Lino Lakes can be found on your Community Page in the Local Planning Handbook. These forecasts are for sewered development. The sewered forecasts were estimated using Met Council’s census block forecast data, individual and communal sewage treatment system data, Sewer Availability Charge (SAC) data, annual city reports, current trends, existing and future local
wastewater service areas and other municipal information. The wastewater flows are based on historical wastewater flow data, future wastewater generation rates, and the sewered population and employment forecast data.
The Met Council will use these growth and wastewater flow forecasts to plan future regional wastewater conveyance and treatment system improvements needed to serve your
community.
Lino Lakes, through its comprehensive planning process, must decide the location and staging of development, and then plan and design its local wastewater collection system to serve this development.
Wastewater Service
Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (Environmental Services) designs, constructs,
and operates the regional wastewater system (Metropolitan Disposal System): a publicly
owned system of regional sanitary sewers and water resource recovery facilities (wastewater
treatment plants), for the conveyance, treatment and disposal of domestic waste, industrial
waste and other waste from residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial users in the
metropolitan area. The regional wastewater system currently serves 111 communities and
through its work it protects public health, protects the environment, and fosters the economic
growth of the seven-county Twin Cities Metropolitan Area.
A Regional Sanitary Sewer System map is provided to assist in the completion of your community’s comprehensive sewer plan. The map shows Environmental Services’ wastewater infrastructure located within your community’s boundaries, if your community is provided
regional wastewater service.
A complete list of items required for inclusion in your community’s comprehensive sewer plan,
depending on wastewater service methods in your community, can be found in the Local
Planning Handbook. A comprehensive plan will be found incomplete for review if all submittal
requirements are not met.
If your community has multiple methods of wastewater service (including regional service, local
(municipal) wastewater treatment system, private communal systems, and/or subsurface
sewage treatment systems), review the information in each corresponding section and refer to
the Local Planning Handbook for a complete list of requirements that must be included in the
comprehensive sewer plan for these systems. We strongly encourage you to include this
information in a water chapter of your comprehensive plan.
2025 SYSTEM STATEMENT WATER RESOURCES 24Page 109 of 148
Areas Served by the Regional System
Current wastewater treatment services are provided to the City by Environmental Services. Wastewater generated within the City is conveyed by Met Council Interceptors 9106, 9708, and 8361 with treatment at the Metropolitan Water Resource Recovery Facility in St. Paul.
Environmental Services has made investments in the area with the Blaine Relief Interceptor to
support the growth in the western portion of the City.
Regional Inflow and Infiltration Program
The Met Council is continuing implementation of its inflow and infiltration (I/I) reduction program and will continue to establish I/I goals for all communities discharging wastewater to
the regional wastewater system. Communities that have excessive I/I in their sanitary sewer
systems will be required to eliminate the excessive I/I. Those communities will be required to submit a work plan that details work activities to identify and eliminate I/I sources from both municipal and private sources. The Met Council will not design future regional sanitary sewer improvements or water resource recovery facilities to handle peak hourly flows in excess of the
allowable rate for your community. Increases in service may be limited in communities that do
not demonstrate progress in reducing excess I/I.
Two grant programs are currently available for communities with excessive I/I in their sanitary sewer systems: The Municipal Inflow and Infiltration Grant Program and the Private Property Inflow and Infiltration Grant Program. It is recommended that communities review these
programs and determine if participation fits into their I/I work plan. The Municipal Inflow and
Infiltration Grant Program is based on annual legislative action and funding amount and availability may vary year to year.
Areas Served by Local Wastewater Treatment System
The requirements of this element do not apply because Lino Lakes does not have a local wastewater treatment system.
Areas Served by Private Communal Treatment Systems and/or Subsurface Sewage Treatment Systems
The Met Council’s position is that private communal wastewater treatment systems should only
be permitted in areas not programmed for regional sewer service in the foreseeable future and
they are provided for in a community’s comprehensive plan. The community is responsible for permitting all private communal or cluster wastewater treatment systems consistent with current Minnesota Pollution Control Agency standards (Minnesota Rules Chapter 7080-7083). The Met Council will not provide financial support to assist communities if these systems fail.
Communities with individual subsurface sewage treatment systems (SSTS), commonly known
as septic systems, must adopt a management program consistent with current Minnesota Pollution Control Agency regulations (Minnesota Rules Chapter 7080-7083). A description of the management plan and current SSTS ordinance must be included in the community’s comprehensive sewer plan.

Surface Water Management
The metro region consists of hundreds of miles of rivers, streams, thousands of acres of wetlands, and nearly a thousand lakes. These surface waters define our region. They are where we play, exercise, find peace, and celebrate with friends and family. They support the region’s ecosystems and biodiversity. They provide drinking water for the region’s residents and energy for industry. They are critical transportation corridors and places to recreate,
fueling local economies. Yet these waters are threatened by complex issues like ongoing pollution stress, climate change, and unsustainable development pressures. Comprehensive community planning includes surface water planning to ensure the region’s residents, businesses, and ecosystems can benefit from clean and abundant water.
In 1995, Minnesota Statutes Section 473.859, subd. 2 was amended to make the local water
plan (often referred to as local surface water management plans) required by Section 103B.
235 a part of the land use plan of the local comprehensive plan. Minnesota Rules Chapter
8410, updated in July of 2015, includes the requirements for local water management plans.
All communities in the metro region must update their local water plan between Jan. 1, 2027
and Dec. 31, 2028. This means that Lino Lakes must update its local water plan as part of the
comprehensive plan update. The community’s updated local water plan should be submitted
to the Met Council for its review concurrent with the review by the local watershed
management organizations.
The Surface Water Features map shows the watershed management organizations, Rice
Creek WD and Vadnais Lake Area WMO, that have jurisdiction in Lino Lakes.
Failure to have an updated local water plan approved by your watershed management
organizations will result in the comprehensive plan being incomplete for review. Local water
plans shall be submitted to the Met Council for review in the timeframe described above,
comments are sent from the Met Council to the appropriate watersheds for inclusion in their
review and approval of the plan, and finally the plan is approved by the appropriate
watersheds.
Local water plans must meet the requirements for local water plans in Minnesota Statutes,
section 103B.235 and Minnesota Rules Chapter 8410. In general, local water plans need to
include a summary of the priorities and problems in the community; structural, nonstructural
and programmatic actions to take to address the priorities and problems; and clearly identified
funding mechanisms to fix the problems.
More detailed guidance for the local water plans can be found in Appendix A of the 2050 Water Policy Plan and in the Met Council’s current Local Planning Handbook.
Priority Waters List
The Met Council updated its Priority Waters List (formerly Priority Lakes List) in July 2022. This new version includes rivers, lakes, and streams. With more than 950 lakes and hundreds of
miles of rivers and streams in the region, waterbodies needed to be prioritized to adequately
dedicate staff and financial resources. The Met Council uses the Priority Waters List to focus
2025 SYSTEM STATEMENT WATER RESOURCES 26Page 111 of 148
its limited resources. The list is also used in the environmental review process. The Surface Water Features map and Priority Waters List table show the priority waters for Lino Lakes.
When using this Priority Waters List, for projects near a specific waterbody, we recommend
you connect with local residents to understand how they value and interact with the waterbody.
The Twin Cities region is home to many diverse communities with different cultural and personal relationships to water, so it’s important to incorporate those perspectives in addition to the Priority Waters List when working on local-scale projects. Communities should identify the Priority Waters and the projects and/or programs that will protect or restore these waters.
The Water Contamination and Impaired Waters map includes any water bodies that are on the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s 303d Impaired Waters List.

Water Supply
Water supply is not a regional system. However, water supply information is required for local
comprehensive plan updates to meet statutory requirements and for consistency with regional
policy.
To ensure that there is a safe and plentiful supply of water–for a wide range of residential, commercial, institutional, industrial, recreational, and other purposes–it is important to make sure local water supply sources, infrastructure, and planned investments are aligned with planned land use changes.
The Met Council recognizes the local responsibility and authority for water supply planning. However, a regional perspective is also valuable, because the effects of local water supply decisions do not stop at community boundaries. The Met Council provides regional planning, guidance, and resources to support communities and help safeguard our shared water resources.
Water supply plan-related requirements generally include:
•Clearly identifying the locations of water sources and amount of water that is currentlyused and is planned to be used for things like agriculture, homes, businesses,
2025 SYSTEM STAT(MENT WATER RESOURCES 27Page 112 of 148
industries, and other public and private purposes. This includes areas that affect those water sources, such as source water protection areas.
•Creating a program for how to implement local rules and regulations about water
supply, including when and how these rules will be developed, adopted, andadministered.
Communities served by a municipal community public water supply system must fulfill part of these requirements by attaching a local water supply plan approved by the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources as an appendix to the comprehensive plan.
The Water Supply Considerations map illustrates some key content for your community, including Drinking Water Supply Management Areas, Special Well and Boring Construction Areas, and Priority Waters qualifying as drinking water sources.
We strongly encourage you to include any required information that isn’t in the local water
supply plan—such as source water protection and privately-owned wells—in a water chapter of
your comprehensive plan.
A customized checklist of minimum requirements for your community is included in the Local Planning Handbook, along with resources to help you meet and go beyond minimum requirements.
Source Water Protection
Your comprehensive plan should consider water use (including water supply sources) as part
of land use planning, to promote land use practices and development decisions that protect public health for your community and the region. Include information about the location of both groundwater and surface water source water protection areas and their vulnerability for all community public drinking water source(s) within your community’s borders and associated contaminant threats. Also include a commitment to collaborate with neighbors on source water
protection, when applicable.
Privately-Owned Wells and Nonmunicipal Public Water Supply Systems
Your comprehensive plan should include information about the current and planned use and management strategies for privately-owned wells and nonmunicipal public water supply systems, because people, institutions, and businesses in your community use those sources for a wide range of agricultural, residential, commercial, industrial and/or other nonmunicipal
purposes.
If a new municipal community public water supply system is planned by 2050, a water chapter of the updated comprehensive plan should include details about the planned system.
Municipal Community Public Water Supply Systems
Water Supply System Information
Because people, institutions, and businesses in your community get water through a municipal
community public water supply system, you must include information about that system and an
implementation program in your comprehensive plans, to demonstrate the availability of clean,
2025 SYSTEM STAT(MENT WATER RESOURCES 28Page 113 of 148
safe drinking water to meet projected water demand consistent with the Met Council’s forecasts.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR)-approved local water supply plan for
the municipal public water supplier providing service to your community must be attached as
an appendix to the comprehensive plan. To ensure that the DNR-approved local water supply plan is consistent with regional policies and is compatible with adjacent and affected governmental units, you should provide the Met Council and adjacent and affected jurisdictions with the opportunity to review and comment on your draft local water supply plan update.
Failure to include an updated local water supply plan approved by the DNR will result in the
comprehensive plan being incomplete for review until the required plan is submitted to the Met Council.

The 2050 Regional Parks and Trails System Plan Map is depicted in Figure 1. Lino Lakes should
consult the complete 2050 Regional Parks and Trails Policy Plan in preparing its local comprehensive
plan. In addition, Lino Lakes should consult Imagine 2050 and the current version of the Met Council’s
Local Planning Handbook for specific comprehensive plan requirements.
2050 Regional Parks and Trails System Units
The Regional Parks and Trails System comprises four main types of units: regional parks, park
reserves, special features and regional trails.
• Regional parks contain a diversity of natural features, either naturally occurring or restored,
and are typically 200-500 acres in size. Regional parks accommodate a variety of outdoor
recreation activities. In 2024, a total of 46 regional parks are open to the public.
• Park reserves, like regional parks, provide for a diversity of outdoor recreation activities. One
major distinguishing feature is that the minimum size for a park reserve is 1,000 acres.
Additionally, regional park implementing agencies are required to manage at least 80% of the
park reserve as natural lands that protect the ecological functions of the native landscape. As of
2024, a total of 12 park reserves were open to the public.
• Special features provide opportunities not generally found in the regional parks, park reserves,
or trail corridors. Special features often require a unique managing or programming effort. As of
2024, there are eight special features open to the public.
• Regional trails: The Met Council has defined two major types of trails to serve the region:
destination or greenway trails and linking trails. Destination or greenway trails typically follow
along corridors with high-quality natural features that make the trail itself a destination. Linking
trails are predominately intended to provide connections between various Regional Parks and
Trails System units. As of 2024, 56 regional trails totaling approximately 487 miles were open
for public use.
2050 Regional Parks and Trails System Components
The 2050 Regional Parks and Trails Policy Plan identifies five components which together comprise the
vision for the Regional Parks and Trails System in 2050, as described below.
2025 SYSTEM STATEMENT REGIONAL PARKS AND TRAILS 36Page 121 of 148
• Existing Regional Parks and Trails System facilities are open for public use and include land
that is owned by regional park implementing agencies. They may include inholding parcels
within the boundaries of these parks and trail corridors that have not yet been acquired. Existing
regional trails may include planned segments that will be developed in the future.
• Planned Regional Parks and Trails System facilities (not yet open to the public) have a
Council-approved long-range plan and may be in stages of acquisition and development but are
not yet open for public use.
• Regional Parks and Trails System boundary adjustments include general areas identified as
potential additions to existing Regional Parks and Trails System facilities to add recreational
opportunities or protect natural resources. Specific adjustments to park or trail corridor
boundaries have not yet been planned.
• Regional Park and Special Feature search areas include general areas for future regional
parks and special features to meet the recreational needs of the region by 2050 where the
regional park boundary has not yet been planned.
• Regional trail search corridors include proposed regional trails to provide connections
between Regional Parks and Trails System facilities where the trail alignment has not yet been
planned.
System Plan Considerations Affecting Your Community
The following Regional Parks and Trails System Components within Lino Lakes are identified in the 2050 Regional Parks and Trails Policy Plan:
Regional Parks, Park Reserves, and Special Features
• Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve: This is an existing regional park reserve with an
established boundary. Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve, at nearly 5,500 acres, is
located in the cities of Columbus, Lino Lakes, and Centerville. It includes significant native

STRATEGIC PLAN
PROCESS
On July 9 and August 6, 2025, the Lino Lakes City Council and Staff Leadership Team held work sessions to
develop both long-term strategies and short-term goals for the organization in 2025. The sessions
focused on three key areas of strategic planning: long-term vision, organizational purpose, and short-term
goal setting. The group explored the elements of the long-term vision, crafting strategy statements to
define that vision. They then assessed the current state of the City and organization to create a list of
goals for both the Council and staff, aligning with that vision. Through discussions, participants reflected
on strengths, weaknesses, potential impacts, and emerging opportunities. The group also developed a
mission statement to articulate and clarify the organization’s primary purpose and commitment to the
community. The City Council will now review the outcomes of these sessions as part of adopting the 2025
Strategic Plan.
LONG TERM VISION
One of the primary outcomes of the Strategic Planning process is the development of a long-term vision.
The vision is a description of the future the participants see for the community and the organization, often
expressed in aspirational terms. The purpose of the vision is to establish a long-term direction that can be
communicated both within the community and the organization, providing all stakeholders with an
understanding of the leadership’s direction. The vision is communicated through a series of descriptive
and detailed organizational strategy statements, labeled core strategies. These statements can be both
the embodiment of the areas the organization values and the direction of its leadership. Accomplishing
progress on the core strategies will bring the organization closer to achieving its vision and provide the
areas in which more manageable, short-term goals can be derived.
Prior to the session, participants were asked to consider the characteristics and qualities they hoped
would describe Lino Lakes and the organization in 2050. Participants individually shared their thoughts in
writing in advance. The comments and input were collected and shared anonymously with the group in
the first exercise of the session. The participants were given the opportunity to discuss the results of the
pre-session work, identifying areas of consensus, emphasis, and importance to the long-term vision of the
City and organization.
The participants then reviewed a draft of core strategies areas based on the input from this activity. The
core strategies are action statements that identify the organization and City’s long-term key areas of
focus. The group refined the strategy areas before breaking into small groups to work constructively on
developing strategic objectives that support each core strategy area. The strategies provide consistent
and stable organizational priorities for the years to come, and serve as organizational guideposts for day-
to-day action, policy formation, and program decision-making. It is anticipated that the core strategies
may be modified over the long-term, but generally all agreed as to the key priorities of the leadership
team.
The core strategies are supported in this plan by strategic objectives. These objectives provide more
specific action areas that the City’s leadership team believes are integral to achieving success with the
Page 128 of 148
2025 STRATEGIC PLAN 2
core strategies. Each objective addresses an internal or external area of action or improvement. The
strategic objectives, combined with the core strategies, provide direction for all areas of leadership.
Following the presentation of draft core strategies and strategic objectives, the full group reviewed and
discussed the body of work and modified the proposed statements of the Leadership Team’s
vision. Without objection and subject to further modification prior to adoption, the group agreed to the
following draft core strategies and strategic objectives:

ORGANIZATIONAL PURPOSE
As part of the strategic leadership process, the group engaged in a pre-session activity to identify the
values that should guide the organization’s mission. This exercise helped clarify the foundational
principles that define how the City operates and serves its community. The mission statement serves as a
concise expression of the City's organizational purpose, explaining why it exists and what it strives to
achieve on behalf of its residents and stakeholders.
Through group feedback, several key themes emerged as central to the City's identity and aspirations:
being visionary, efficient, professional, responsive, trusted, and continuously improving. These values
reflect both the internal culture the organization aims to foster and the external service standards it is
committed to upholding.
To further support the development of a meaningful mission statement, the group reviewed a set of
sample statements prepared by the facilitator. Each example was based on the values identified by
participants. After discussion and reflection, the group selected one of the examples that best captured
the organization’s purpose and direction.
A clearly defined mission and a shared set of values are essential tools for leadership and alignment. They
provide organizational clarity for elected officials, staff, and partners, offering a consistent framework for
decision-making, service delivery, and long-term planning. Just as importantly, they express the City's
commitment to its community, ensuring that every action taken by the organization reflects its promise to
lead with integrity and serve with purpose.
Page 130 of 148
2025 STRATEGIC PLAN 4
Recommended Mission Statement
To lead with vision, delivering efficient and responsive public services that strengthen community
trust, support organizational excellence, and anticipate the needs of our growing city.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
In preparation for the second session of the Strategic Leadership process, participants completed a pre-
session environmental scan through an online questionnaire. This tool invited elected officials and staff
leaders to reflect on and share their perspectives on the City of Lino Lakes by identifying key strengths,
challenges, opportunities, and threats facing the organization and community. The intent of the scan was
to inform short-term goal setting by grounding the discussion in current realities and emerging trends, as
understood by those closest to the City’s operations.
The aggregated responses were reviewed and shared during the second session, creating a foundation for
additional discussion and strategic reflection. This process helped ensure that organizational goals are
developed with a clear understanding of internal capabilities, external pressures, and areas of both
concern and potential.
What areas are going well? What areas does the City/Organization have momentum that can be
built upon?
Participants highlighted a number of organizational and community strengths, including a positive
workplace culture, strong interdepartmental collaboration, and dedicated leadership across Council and
staff. The City was recognized for its effective hiring practices, investment in staff development, and
strong financial base. Infrastructure improvements and progress on long-standing projects like the public
works facility were also noted as momentum-building efforts. The City’s reputation as a responsive and
supportive employer, along with visible growth and development potential, were seen as clear assets.
What are current challenges to the City and/or Organization’s success? What things are holding the
City back?
Key challenges identified include a tendency toward reactive decision-making, staffing shortages, and a
need for clearer long-term strategic direction. Participants pointed to community fragmentation, limited
public engagement tools, and pressure from rising expectations as barriers to progress. Concerns were
also raised about aging infrastructure, constrained resources, and the tension between growth and
preserving community identity. Several respondents noted the difficulty of sustaining service delivery
under current staffing levels and budget limitations, along with rising operational costs that are straining
the budget due to public safety model. Lastly, the lack of commitment to planning and implementation
for the Rookery, Tower Park, and Town Center are holding the City back.
What trends or opportunities to you see coming that could benefit the City as it tries to move
towards its Vision/Core Strategies?
The scan revealed a range of opportunities for the City to leverage in the coming years. These included
continued residential and commercial growth, technology integration to enhance services, and a shift

toward a more collaborative and innovative organizational culture. Respondents saw value in developing
a distinct city identity and brand, expanding resident engagement, and capitalizing on available land and
infrastructure for smart development. The group also pointed to emerging revenue sources, workforce
transitions, and improved strategic communication as ways to build momentum and meet evolving
community needs.
What threats or trends do you see coming that could provide a new challenge or obstacle for the
City as it tries to move towards its Vision/Core Strategies?
Participants identified a number of potential threats to the City's long-term success, including staff
burnout, competitive labor market pressures, and legal or regulatory constraints such as water use
restrictions. Broader trends like rising housing costs, demographic shifts, and climate change were seen as
potential disruptors. Concerns about transparency, anti-government sentiment, and a fragmented civic
identity were also raised. These threats underscore the importance of proactive planning, investment in
communication, and a commitment to organizational adaptability.
SHORT-TERM GOALS
The third portion of the Strategic Planning process was to develop a short-term goals platform and
workplan to guide the organization in the coming years. Participants were offered the opportunity to
present draft goals that addressed any of the following objectives - short-term actions that lead to a core
strategy or strategic objective, goals to address weaknesses, opportunities, or potential impacts discussed
during the assessment process, or other goals that individual members viewed to be important for the
City. The process encouraged the brainstorming of SMART goals - specific, measurable, attainable,
relevant, and time-bound (2-3 years) - and objectives that would support the core strategies and vision.
Following the brainstorming process, a prioritization process was used to develop the following list of
high priority and priority goals. Participants were given the ability to choose a limited number of
brainstormed goals as their top priorities. As each participant’s choices were collected, the draft goals
were bunched into categories. The categories and prioritization followed these guidelines:
• High Priority Goals - goals that were identified by at least three members of the Mayor/City
Council as top priority and also received support from City Staff.
• Opportunity Goals - goals that were identified as a top priority by at least one member of the City
Council or a majority and received support from City Staff.
Proposed 2025 Short-Term Goals
High Priority - goals that are the top priority of the organization in the coming two-year period.

o Suggested steps include exploring monthly billing, improving user interface,
consideration of conservation, and seek user feedback.
• Develop a City brand and invest in marketing
• Establish and implement a quarterly/annual strategic planning item

NEXT STEPS
Successful implementation of the Strategic Planning process depends on ongoing collaboration between
the City Council and staff. The shared vision, values, and priorities identified through this process
provide a strong foundation, but follow-through is essential. City staff will now begin developing
detailed action plans and next steps aligned with the short-term goals and consistent with the Core
Strategies. As this work moves forward, clear Council direction will be especially important on several
major initiatives, including evaluating the future fire service model and establishing plans for the
Rookery, Tower Park, and Town Center. These complex, high-impact efforts require both policy guidance
and strategic alignment to ensure outcomes reflect community needs and long-term priorities.
It was a pleasure to work with your organization on this strategic planning process. I appreciate your
concern for the community and commitment to each other. This strategic plan identifies the direction
the City will head with your leadership, and the short-term steps that are necessary to move forward.
