NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Lino Lakes, Minnesota that: FINDINGS OF FACT Planned Unit Development Per City Code Section 1007.024: (2) The PUD, by allowing deviation from the strict provisions of this ordinance related to setbacks, heights, lot area, width and depths, yards, etc., may be considered by the City when it would result in one or more of the following public benefits: (a) Implementation of a master plan consistent with the Planning District objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. A master plan for this area is not required per the 2040 Comprehensive Plan -Planning District 4. Per Planning District 4, a gateway should be planned at the intersection of Centerville Road and County Road J (Ash Street). The Lino Lakes Gateway Planning manual was prepared in June 2024 and includes this area. PUD Amendment #1 continues to implement the Signature Gateway land use and Gateway Planning. (b) Innovations in development that address growing demands for all styles of economic expansion, greater variety in lot size, configuration, home type, design, enhanced architectural standards, and siting of structures through the conservation and more efficient use of land in such developments. The commercial component supports economic expansion. The development proposes a mix of residential housing types consisting of single-family homes, townhomes, market rate apartments, and senior living. This variety in housing types supports life -cycle housing. The flexible site design configuration allows for the creation of a multi functional greenway corridor that incorporates storm water management, wetlands, open space, and trails. The development also promotes conservation and a more efficient use of land. PUD Amendment #1 continues to support innovations in development. (c) Preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics such as wildlife habitat, unique natural resources, existing vegetation, natural topography, geologic features and reduction of negative impacts on the environment. The site is within the shoreland districts of Lake Wilkinson and Lake Amelia and adjacent to a large wetland complex. The large wetland will be preserved and enhanced into a multi -purpose greenway corridor and storm water management system. The corridor will also be protected by a vegetative buffer that provides additional protection to the natural resources. A stormwater reuse system will be evaluated and implemented to the extent feasible to offset the use of municipal water for irrigation. PUD Amendment #1 continues to preserve and enhance these desirable site characteristics. (d) Creative use of land and related physical development which allows a phased and orderly transition of varying land uses in close proximity to each other. PUD Amendment #1 continues to transition development from low intense single-family homes near Wilkinson Lake and the wetland to higher intense apartments near the arterial roads. (e) Efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets thereby lowering development costs and public investments. PUD Amendment #1 does not change the existing utility and street network. (f) Mix of land use types PUD Amendment #1 continues to support a mix of residential housing types and commercial development. (g) Provision of a housing type or target housing price that is desirable to the City. PUD Amendment #1 proposes a mix of residential housing types consisting of single-family lots, townhomes, market rate apartments, and senior living. This variety in housing types supports life -cycle housing that is desirable to the City. (h) Other public benefits and values as recognized in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Per the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, page 3-3 of the Land Use Plan: Goal 1, Policy e. details the following additional public values that may be achieved in the Wilkinson Waters concept plan: • Preserving open space, providing park dedication and trails, and/or providing stormwater management areas, in excess of minimum standards to implement the Greenway System o 53% open space > than minimum 50% required by Shoreland PUD • Using "Green" building and low impact development techniques • Restoring/enhancing ecological systems • Managing stormwater using natural filtration and other ecologically based approaches • Providing life -cycle and affordable housing • Diversifying the tax base to lessen the tax burden on residential properties PUD Amendment #1 continues to support these public benefits.
