Mr. Bengtson stated that board member packets included a review of actions taken by the
P &Z Board in 2011, including subsequent council actions and administrative approvals.
B. Lakewood Apartments (added to agenda at meeting)
Mr. Bengtson stated that staff is seeking comment from the P &Z Board members
regarding the Lakewood Apartments. Staff explained that the building was designed for
commercial on the first floor with apartments above. There have been no commercial
users since the building was constructed. The city has been approached by an interested
party to convert the first floor commercial into rental residential use. Staff noted that the
user could likely create eleven residential apartment units. Staff has not been given
specific information on apartment details as no formal plans have been submitted. Staff
is looking for direction from the board as to the interest `in this transition.
Board members asked what it would take to make this change. Mr. Bengtson stated that
multiple amendments would be made to the Planned Unit Development. Staff noted that
this would take a significant amount of staff tirne to deteiriniine what would need to be
done. In addition, the change in use could potentially change the uses of additional sites
within the Town Center. Staff noted that the vacant properties in the Town Center went
tax forfeit.
Board Member comments included the following:
o Is the commercial space being marketed? With the YMCA as busy as it is and
with the apartment building mostly full, it seems that there would be some interest
in commercial.
o Concerned about the domino effect that might change the PUD for the entire site
Could this provide an opportunity to work with Anoka County regarding the
vacant land?
It seems like the conversion would be a short-term fix that they may not like in
the future.
Would like to keep the character and intent of the site the same.
o The original design of first floor commercial is still a good plan.
• The city should review the entire concept plan of the Town Center area before
they start piece- mealing individual sites.
• In general, the city should react to the market. Filling up eleven units could spark
additional development.
o The city should not change what was envisioned and conceived in its entirety just
because the market is down right now. Would like to see the end result of what
was originally planned. That's what planning is all about. The city shouldn't let
the market dictate everything that comes into the city.

® More in favor of going residential. The commercial area has been vacant for
many years, not just recently.
o Would rather reconsider a new plan for the entire area than respond to each parcel
one at a time.
The discussion resulted in the board's desire to review the entire plan for the Town
Center to revisit the vision for this area.
Staff agreed to provide the board members with an updated copy of the Town Center
Design and Development Guide.

AGENDA ITEM 8A
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Paul Bengtson
MEETING DATE: March 14, 2012
TOPIC: Discussion of a proposed amendment to the Industrial
Zoning Districts
VOTE REQUIRED: NONE — Discussion purposes only
INTRODUCTION
The City Council engaged the planning consulting company Landform to complete a review of
the existing Industrial Zoning Districts within the zoning ordinance and ensure that the standards
were consistent with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan and ensure a continued quality of
development in the city's industrial districts.
BACKGROUND
This item was added to the agenda for discussion purposes and the Economic Development
Advisory Committee was invited to attend to participate in the discussion. Kendra Lindahl, of
Landform has prepared the draft ordinance language which is attached. A memorandum from
Ms. Lindahl explains the process Landform has followed and a summary of the proposed
changes. Ms. Lindahl will be presenting the ordinance language and facilitating the discussion
of the proposed language.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is seeking input from the Planning and Zoning Board and the Economic Development
Advisory Committee to refine the language before bringing the amendment forward for
consideration by the advisory boards and the City Council.

DATE: March 7, 2012
RE: Update to Industrial Zoning District Standards
Background
Landform was asked by the City of Lino Lakes to review the existing Industrial Zoning district
standards in Section 8 of the Zoning Ordinance to ensure that the zoning ordinance standards were
consistent with the recently adopted 2030 Comprehensive Plan, that allowed uses were consistent
with the City vision, goals and policies and that the development standards were appropriate for the
different uses.
We have reviewed the 2030 Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan, the Zoning Ordinance dated October
2011 and the Redevelopment Task Force Workbook. Additionally, prior to preparing these
recommendations, we met with staff to understand the issues identified previously by the City (staff,
Commissioners and Council members) and we spoke with site selectors and developers to better
understand how the Zoning Ordinance standards could affect their decision to locate in a
community.
Summary of Proposed Changes
We are recommending a number of revisions to the ordinance based on discussions with City staff
and our professional experience writing and implementing ordinances. The proposed changes have
been shown as deleted text in stFikethceugh, added text in underline in the attached document.
Background
In our initial meeting with City staff we discussed the City's concerns with the existing Industrial
zoning districts and begin discussion of potential changes to help the City implement their vision.
The following key issues were discussed:
• Non - conforming uses in the Industrial districts
• The challenges specific to the Light Industrial area on Lake Drive (e.g. non - conformities,
proximity to single family residential, lack of municipal sewer and water, zoning that is
inconsistent with Comprehensive Plan)
• Need to balance property owner rights with the rights of adjacent landowners
• Need to analyze the long term goals vs. short term requests
• Need to analyze tax impacts for the city as a whole
• Importance of Lake Drive as a gateway for the City
Landform'", Sensibly., s" and Site to Finish are service marks of Landfonn Engineering Company.
•
•
• Outside storage needs to be clearly addressed, including updated definition of outside
storage to address vehicle parking, dumpsters, display areas, etc.
It is our understanding that there were some in the City who felt that the existing ordinance may
have been overly restrictive and discouraged new businesses from locating in Lino Lakes. Our
experience shows that one of the roles of zoning is to protect property rights of existing landowners
and businesses by maintaining a standard that ensures quality and maintenance of adjacent
properties, which helps to maintain property values. My conversations with site selectors and
developers indicate that few buildings are being built on speculation. The only buildings being built
are for specific tenants and each tenant has specific locational criteria that will drive site selection
more that any zoning standards. The general consensus is that businesses are looking for land as
close to the central cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul as possible and those businesses generally
will not move out from that core until they can find land that is priced to fit their needs. The supply of
industrial land in places like Blaine is diminishing, which will make land in Lino Lakes more
appealing. Throughout the metropolitan area, performance standards have been increased and
businesses seem to understand this baseline expectation has increased over what might have been
acceptable 30 years ago. None of site selectors I spoke to cited Lino Lakes as having an ordinance
that was too restrictive, but all noted the importance of flexibility for users.
Proposed Revisions
One of the significant changes relates to the general format of the Zoning Ordinance. It is our intent
to make the Industrial district standards clearer with these updates. However, it should be noted that
a future update to Section 3 (general performance standards) will be required in the future to
supplement these updates. The key changes proposed in the LI and GI districts are as follows:
• Eliminated motor fuel stations as an allowed use in both the LI and GI zoning districts. We
believe that these users should be located on commercial property with convenient access.
This will free up the remaining Industrial land for true industrial uses.
• Added new permitted uses, such as research laboratories and trade /business schools in both
LI and GI and food processing in GI. This is reflective of the current economy and is
consistent with the intent of these zoning districts.
• Made accessory indoor retail, rental or service activities an accessory use rather than a
conditional use permit. This provides more flexibility for landowners and eliminates the time -
consuming conditional use permit for these accessory and incidental uses.
• Eliminated redundant standards for conditional uses. If the standard is addressed in the
general performance standards section of the Zoning Ordinance or the Building Code, there
is no reason to repeat those standards and, therefore, they have been eliminated. We
understand that staff plans a future update of the general performance standards in Section
3 of the Zoning Ordinance as well.
• Added Mini - Storage as a conditional use in the LI district (it was already a conditional use in
the GI district). This type of use is commonly located in the Tight industrial zoning districts
and would be compatible with other allowed uses.
• A number of changes were made to outside storage standards (for outside storage as an
accessory use). These changes will allow outside storage accessory to the principal use as
an option for more properties in the Industrial zoning districts, but will increase the
performance standards for outside storage:

•
o Outside storage areas must be completely enclosed in a fenced area and this area
must comply with the structure setbacks for the district. There are currently no
setback requirements for outside storage areas.
o Outside storage may now be allowed adjacent to residential properties, parks,
schools, and businesses provided they meet the structure setback, buffering and
other performance standards. The only prohibition that remains in place is abutting
interstates, and abutting will no longer mean across a right of way.
o Setbacks from residential will be based on the land use classification in the 2030
Comprehensive Plan rather than the Zoning Map classification.
o The ratio of outside storage area to building footprint has been eliminated in the GI
district and reduced from 3.5:1 to 2.5:1 in the LI district.
o Outside storage as a principal use had been eliminated from LI district where it was
previously allowed as an interim use permit.
Definitions
In addition to the changes to the Industrial district uses and standards, I would suggest the following
new definitions be included in the Ordinance when the City updates Section 1, Subd. 2 (Rules and
Definitions) of the Zoning Ordinance:
Wholesale Businesses /Showrooms. An establishment or place of business primarily
engaged in selling and /or distributing merchandise to retailers; to industrial, commercial,
institutional, or professional business users, or to other wholesalers; or acting as agents or
brokers and buying merchandise for, or selling merchandise to, such individuals or
companies. This is not considered a general commercial use.
Outside Storag
includes semi trucks and trailers. The stored items are not for sale or display but are used in
the everyday operation of the principal use. Also referred to as "outdoor storage." Outdoor
sales lots arc not outdoor storage but are distinct uses regulated by this ordinance. The
storage of goods, materials, equipment, manufactured products and similar items not fully
enclosed by a building for a period greater than 24 hours.
We note that the existing ordinance currently uses the terms "outside storage" and "exterior
storage" interchangeably. We recommend that future ordinance updates replace the term
"exterior storage" with "outside storage" for consistency and clarity.
Mass Transit Terminal. The property, equipment and improvements owned, used,
constructed, maintained, controlled, or operated to provide mass transportation for
passengers or to provide for the movement of people, including park- and -ride stations,
transfer stations and parking lots.
Manufacturing. An establishment engaged in the indoor manufacturing, assembly,
fabrication, packaging or other industrial processing of finished parts or products, primarily
from previously prepared materials, or the indoor provision of industrial services, where there
are few external effects across property lines. This term includes but is not limited to a

business engaged in the processing, fabrication, assembly, treatment, or packaging of food,
textile, leather, wood, paper, chemical, plastic, or metal products, but does not include basic
industrial processing from raw materials.
Trade or Business Schools. A specialized instructional establishment that provides on -site
training of business, commercial, and /or trade skills such as accounting, data processing,
and computer repair. This classification excludes establishments providing training in an
activity that is not otherwise permitted in the zone. Incidental instructional services in
conjunction with another primary use shall not be considered a business and trade school.
Other Ordinance Sections
We have discussed with staff the need to update the general performance standards in Section 3 of
the Zoning Ordinance. We suggest updates to several areas, including parking, outside storage,
landscaping and screening, lighting and others to support the City's vision for development. It is our
understanding that those efforts will be one of the next steps in the Zoning Ordinance update
process.
Zoning Map
We recommend that the City update the zoning map to be consistent with the adopted 2030 Future
Land Use Map as required by State Statute and to eliminate any confusion about appropriate land
uses on properties. However, this item is not required immediately and can be completed in the
future.
Recommendation
Review and consider adoption of the proposed revisions to the Industrial Ordinance standard in
Section 8 of the Zoning Ordinance.

industries which manufacture, fabricate, assemble or store, where the process is
not likely to create offensive noise, vibrations, dust, heat, smoke, odor, glare, or
other objectionable influences. Generally, these include wholesale, service and
light industries which are dependent upon raw materials refined elsewhere. No
new land shall be zoned LI, Light Industrial unless the site or area lies within the
City's MUSA and sanitary sewer and municipal water is available.
B. Lot and Yard Requirements.
