Work Session Item
Date: January 4, 2011
To: City Council
From: Marty Asleson
Re: Solid Waste Ordinance Change Proposal
Background
The City Council recently received complaints regarding unwanted noise caused by
waste haulers before 7:00 A.M. Council members requested the item be placed on the
work session agenda for discussion.
Section 507.04 of city codes states "no collection of garbage, refuse, yard waste and /or
recyclable materials shall be made except between the hours of six o'clock (6:00 A.M.)
and six o'clock (6:00 P.M.) ". This applies to both residential and commercial haulers.
Proposed changes would state the starting time in residential areas to be 7:00 A.M. The
proposed ordinance change would also state a 6:00 start time allowable in commercial
areas.
Requested Council Direction
Staff is asking the Council to consider this amendment to be placed on the January 10th
Agenda.

WS — Item 4
WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT
Work Session Item 4
Date: Council Work Session, January 4, 2011
To: City Council
From: Michael Grochala
Re: Comprehensive Plan Review
Background
At the November 1, 2010 council work session the City Council was presented with a request to
modify the residential land use densities from how they are currently proposed in the
Comprehensive Plan. The council requested: 1) a determination of what the process would be to
adjust the figures; 2) how much rework would be required if pursued; and 3) a determination on
whether there could be gaps between residential density ranges.
Review
Process
As noted in prior reports, the City cannot adopt a modified plan without prior review and
authorization from the Metropolitan Council. Proposed changes, if any, need to conform with
regional plans and be coordinated with Metropolitan Council. Minor text changes i.e., goals and
policies that are local in nature and remain consistent with or do not impact regional plans, can
be administratively approved. Major changes, however require full review and approval by the
Metropolitan Council.
The proposed change in residential land use densities would be considered a major change and
invalidate the Metropolitan Council's current authorization to place the 2030 Comprehensive
Plan into effect. This would require restarting the comprehensive plan update review process,
including completing the adjacent community review period (up to 6 months), and going through
the Met Council's full review.
Alternatively, the City Council could adopt the 2030 update as is and proceed with a
Comprehensive Plan Amendment to modify the proposed densities. The process would be
generally the same however the adjacent jurisdiction review period would be 60 days rather than
the potential 6 months. Additionally, this process would allow for implementation of
comprehensive plan elements unaffected by the residential density issue. For example the City
has been working with the Rice Creek Watershed District and the Army Corp of Engineers on a
Special Area Management Plan (SAMP) regarding wetland management with the City. The
Army Corp will not proceed with the final SAMP notice and corresponding general permit
approval until adoption of the comprehensive plan.
1
Work Program
The work program and cost of revision to the plan is largely dependent on the scope of change as
determined by the city council. Changes in the density ranges that do not impact land use
designations will likely require less work than changes that do impact landuse designations.
Under any scenario, changes would require evaluation of the transportation, sewer and water
systems and associated modeling. The degree of change would dictate whether systems would
need to be remodeled. Changes to land use designations would require remapping, modification
to land use acreage tables, and would have the greater potential impact to infrastructure systems
and modeling.
We would estimate a 9 to 14 month process highly dependent on adjacent jurisdiction review.
A public hearing would be required to be held by the Planning & Zoning Board under the
amendment process. The hearing may only be needed under the update process if land use
designations are changed.
Proposed Timeline *:
Council Work Session to determine changes: February — March
Staff /consultant evaluate impacts, prepare document revisions March - April
P & Z public hearing May
Council authorizes distribution to adjacent jurisdictions June
Adjacent jurisdiction review and comment June - December
Council Adoption of preliminary approval (after jurisdiction review) December
Submit to Met Council for review (60 days) Jan/February 2012
City Council Final Plan Adoption March 2012
*Assumes adjacent jurisdictions take full review period. Plan amendment process would reduce
timeline by minimum of four months.
The estimated consultant costs range from $2,500 to $15,000. The low end of the cost estimate
assumes no major system modeling work. The estimate also assumes staff completes all text,
table and spreadsheet modifications.
Gaps Between Residential Density Ranges
Following discussions with the City Attorney there does not appear to be any statutory
requirements that would preclude gaps in the density ranges. The question would ultimately be
determined, if challenged, by whether the city has a rational basis for establishing such
requirements. Additionally, the city should determine why it would choose to regulate density in
this manner and evaluate whether there are more prudent methods to accomplish that purpose.
Upon further review, it appears that any benefits of such a decision are outweighed by the
disadvantages it introduces to the development process and housing choices. By narrowing the
density range, we could expect to see the loss of development flexibility, limited product variety,
and simply a narrowing of choices for our residents. Of the 26 single family residential
2
developments approved since 1999, only one fell within the 2.2 to 2.4 range proposed. Twenty
of the projects actually fell below the proposed range.
Opinion
The discussion of residential densities has been a recurring theme throughout the comprehensive
planning process. Staff went through a similar exercise to evaluate densities in December 2008
and January of 2009 however the council direction at that time was to lower the proposed
minimum residential densities consistent with the 2002 plan. That work led to the reduction of
the high density range from an 8 units /acre minimum to 7 units per acre and required the removal
of approximately 72 acres of land guided low density. The low and medium density categories
were not reduced. These changes were reviewed by both the Council and the Citizen Advisory
Panel and incorporated into the plan.
The 2030 plan includes a total of 162 acres guided high density residential, only 60 of which are
located within the Stage 1 2008 -2020 service area.
With this in mind the planned densities can be modified, however, if the council proposes to
pursue this path clear objectives should be established. The potential density alternatives may be
numerous and it would not be in the city's best interest to pursue options that are not viable.
Given the time and expense involved, we should insure that there is merit in moving forward
with additional changes.
Council Direction
Staff is requesting council direction regarding the following options:
1. Place adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan on an upcoming City Council meeting
agenda for adoption with previously discussed Land Use Chapter and Housing Chapter
amendment.
2. Place adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan on an upcoming City Council meeting
agenda for adoption with previously discussed Land Use annual average unit requirement
and Housing Chapter amendment. Direct staff to initiate a Comprehensive Plan
Amendment to modify residential land use densities.
3. Rescind the existing draft update (which Met Council has reviewed and authorized) and
restart the comprehensive plan update review process.

Growth Management Policy
In addition to the tools described above, the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee discussed
the development of a revised Growth Management Policy for the city. The Growth Management
Policy should provide a clear basis for efficient development staging as well as flexibility to
respond to market conditions. The new policy must work in conjunction with the staging plan to
establish the criteria for moving from one staging area to another.
The Growth Management Policy will include the following elements:
1. The City will create a fully integrated Comprehensive Plan and keep it up to date with
biannual reviews. The City will perform an intensive review at least once every five years to
ensure the plan addresses changing needs and conditions.
2. The Comprehensive Plan will include a staging plan defining development staging areas sized
to accommodate forecasted growth.
3. The City will monitor the ten -year staging areas and annually determine if adequate land
remains available.
4. All development must be located within the current ten -year staging area unless a
Comprehensive Plan amendment is approved that redefines the current ten -year staging
area.
5. All development must be phased within each ten -year staging area in accordance with the
staging plan unless the City Council determines, by resolution, to redefine the location of the
current five -year phase.
6. Prior to reaching the time threshold for the next ten -year staging area, or five -year phase
within a ten -year staging area, depicted on the staging plan, the City Council will determine
by resolution if the next area is to be opened to development. The following criteria will be
used to determine where and when to open up the next ten -year staging area, or five -year
phase within a staging area, in accordance with the timing indicated on the staging plan:
a. Adequate infrastructure must be available to support development. Appropriate analysis
will determine if adequate infrastructure is available and what utility extensions and
transportation improvements are required to support new development. If infrastructure
is not available and cannot be made available in a timely manner to support expanding
into the next ten -year staging area or five year phase within a staging area, the city may
refrain from opening up the next staging area, or portions thereof.
b. Different areas of the city can be considered independently. A decision to open one area
of the city to development does not automatically open a different area of the city.
Decisions to open new areas to development should clearly define and map the area
being opened.
c. This process does not require a comprehensive plan amendment because it is in
accordance with the timing indicated on staging plan.
7. The following criteria will be used to determine if the city should allow a specific development
project to occur early in a ten -year staging area, or five -year phase within a staging area,
prior to the timing indicated on the staging plan.
3 -26
a. The proposed development must be located within both the current and the next ten -
year staging area, or five -year phase, or located adjacent to the current staging area.
b. The proposed development must be master planned. Small, piecemeal developments do
not justify redefining the ten -year staging area, or five -year phase.
c. The proposed, master planned project must provide discernable public values.
d. Adequate infrastructure must be available to support development. Appropriate analysis
will determine if adequate infrastructure is available and what utility extensions and
transportation improvements are required to support new development.
e. There must be a commitment that the development will pay its proportionate share of
infrastructure improvement costs associated with development.
8. All development must adhere to the Resource Management System Plan, including all its
components, as this plan provides a conservation design framework for growth within the
city.
9_,Include standards in subsequent ordinance updates to ensure quality development that
minimizes negative impacts on natural and cultural features of the community.
9.10. The City will plan to accommodate an annual average of 230 units per year over each 5
year phasing period not to exceed 345 units in any one year. At the end of the 5 year
phasing period unallocated units will be averaged out over the next five year phase.
Relationship to Met Council Development Framework
In addition to guiding Lino Lakes' future growth, the land use plan also relates to growth and
development in the region as a whole. As part of the seven -county metropolitan area, Lino Lakes
must accommodate its share of the region's growth. The Comprehensive Plan must demonstrate
the City's capacity to absorb this growth and that the regional infrastructure, including the
transportation and sewer systems, will be used efficiently. The Metropolitan Council has
developed objectives and policies for cities in the metropolitan area to ensure efficient use of the
region's infrastructure, including the following policies:
1) Policy 1: Work with local communities to accommodate growth in a flexible, connected
and efficient manner.
2) Policy 2: Plan and invest in multi -modal transportation choices, based on the full range of
costs and benefits, to slow the growth of congestion and serve the region's economic
needs.
3) Policy 3: Encourage expanded choices in housing location and types, and improved
access to jobs and opportunities.
4) Policy 4: Work with local and regional partners to reclaim, conserve, protect and enhance
the region's vital natural resources.
The City has prepared a plan that responds to community goals and to the Met Council's
strategies for developing communities, as outlined in the Regional Development Framework. Lino
3 -27
Based on its analysis, the Metropolitan Council's new affordable housing goal for Lino Lakes is to
create 560 new affordable housing units between 2011 and 2020, which represents 35 percent of
forecasted household growth. Based on the 2030 future land use map and the minimum
proposed residential densities (i.e., 7 units per acre for high density and 8 units per acre for
selected mixed use areas), the City has the capacity to accommodate the affordable housing
goal.
The level of affordability is important to understand when assessing the amount of current
affordable housing and the price point for new units to meet this goal. According to Metropolitan
Councii20O7 Affordability Limits, the area median income for the seven -county Minneapolis -St.
Paul (MSP) area adjusted by HUD to be applicable to a family of four is $78,500 in 2007. Eighty
percent of the median household income is $62,800; 60 percent is $47,100 and 50 percent is
$39,250. Applying an interest rate on a 30 -year fixed -rate home loan of 6.2 percent for 2007 and
other payment factors to the 80 percent area median income, yields an affordable purchase price
of $206,800 in 2007. According to Anoka County Assessor's data there are 779 homesteads, or
13 percent of total 2007 households, that fall under this 80 percent purchase price limit in Lino
Lakes. The price point for an affordable home at 60 percent of area median income drops to
$152,000. There are currently only 82 existing homesteads, or 1 percent of total 2007
households, in Lino Lakes at or below $152,000 (Anoka County assessor's data /GIS).
It is the new 60 percent measurement that will be required for the potential affordable housing
units anticipated between 2011 -2020 in Lino Lakes. Achieving this new affordability goal will be
very difficult without the funding tools that have in the past been offered by the Metropolitan
Council and other agencies.
Future Affordable Housing 9pportun•tics
To provide oppoftuflities -for affordable housing in the community, the City is taking the
appropriate regulatory measures within the Comprehensive Plan by guiding areas for higher
density housing and including policies to promote-integrate affordable housing in all residential
land use districts. These regulatory measures represent one of the City's most effective tools
encourage for the development of affordable housing. To meet affordable housing goals, the City
has planned for potential new growth with a variety of residential land use types and densities For
te- promote the development of life -cycle and affordable housing across the city.
The city's future land use plan can accommodate the goal of 560
High Density and Mixed Use units at a minimum density of 7 units per net acre by 2O2Oi, which
will greatly eppgftenities -fer offer able -and lifeoyele +lousing -iwthe-oemnitinity, While
the City is doing its part in creating a regulatory land use plan to guide areas for higher density
housing, which is where most affordable housing will likely occur, barriers to development of
affordable housing still exist in Lino Lakes and the region. Some of these barriers are beyond the
City's control, including the following:
• Steady increases in land prices and construction costs.
• Physical limitations of land due to wetlands, poor access, poor soils that would increase
the cost of land development or construction.
• State, county and local tax structures.
There are some significant barriers to construction of new affordable housing, and the above list
includes just a few of these barriers. Despite these difficulties, the provision of affordable housing
is an important effort that cities undertake. The most effective role Lino Lakes will have in the
provision of affordable housing is its regulatory tools, including land use and zoning regulations
that do not impede the construction of affordable housing. Many of these tools can be used to
encourage developers. Flexibility, through the use of the Planned Unit Development (PUD)
4.10
process, may be provided to encourage the construction of affordable housing_, styeh as g
setbae{�and green area r-eqtik-effients7 asir►g- density ; fedtieing fees.
Acknowledging the regional housing goals established by the Metropolitan Council does not
commit the City of Lino Lakes to provide funding for housing. The City will continue to
investigate means to pursue the goals in its comprehensive plan. However, this should not be
interpreted as a commitment to use City funds to overcome the financial obstacles to life cycle
and affordable housing.
Housing Implementation Strategies and
Recommendations
The following Housing Action Plan identifies efforts Lino Lakes will pursue to create opportunities
to maintain the existing housing stock, and to provide increased housing options for future
residents. These strategies are based on goals and strategies for Community, Neighborhood and
Residential development developed by the Citizen Vision Committee. The strategies are designed
as a resource tool for specific measures the City can effectively undertake and enforce while
others are designed as tools to encourage developers to incorporate affordable housing into
future development. As future subdivisions are proposed, the City will use these resources and
implement the strategies in working with developers to create new affordable housing
opportunities. Many of these items are things the City itself can do, while others will occur
through partnerships the City will seek to provide for and maintain housing quality and increase
affordable housing opportunities.
To ensure housing development is compatible with existing and adjacent land uses
and provides accessibility to key community features and natural amenities (Goal 3),
the City will:
• Offer incentives to developers who provide for affordable housing units while conserving
environmentally sensitive sites, such as density bonuses, expedited permitting processes,
or reduced fees.
▪ Pursue funding opportunities to increase the affordability of housing units within
conservation subdivisions.
• Pursue funding opportunities to incorporate green building techniques within affordable
housing developments.
• Encourage innovative low impact development to preserve open space or natural
features.
• Ensure that all new housing, including high density, adheres to the highest possible
standards of planning, design and construction feasible.
• Promote development of neighborhoods that incorporate housing in a range of densities
and affordability limits in close proximity to shopping, services, daycare, and medical
services. Safe access to parks and schools, and the ability to walk, bike or have access to
transit should be part of the design.
To improve the availability of affordable housing and enhance opportunities for
senior housing (Goals 5 and 6), the City will:
• Seek housing developers to work cooperatively with the City to construct affordable
units.
• Create an incentive based program or Residential Planned Unit Development Ordinance
that includes density bonuses for construction of affordable housing. This allows an
increase in density, beyond the underlying zoning, if the development includes affordable
housing.
