development proposals. Board member comments included:
Would .like to ensure that the development offers walkability and remains pedestrian
friendly.
Commercial ground floor may no longer be viable
Has staff considered the traffic flow for the potential intensity of housing?
Likes the option of a variety of plan ideas.
Although there is a market for high density, the city should avoid putting all high
density in one area of the city.
Would like to see the green space on the SW corner of the Option B Neighborhood
Block to be more of an urban center gathering space than just a green space to keep
an urban edge.
Not convinced that the city will be able to create a downtown area out of nothing.
What other civic use is an option rather than a library?

Developing a downtown area could be possible if the city allows the market to dictate
what develops there.
Will the streets be maintained by the city? Who would plow the alleys?
The city should consider changing architectural standards.
The city may be losing interested developers because the existing restrictive standards
are cost prohibitive.
The city needs to allow for much more flexibility and be less prescriptive.
The existing architectural standards are now outdated.
The site should be redefined as mixed use to allow more flexibility.
Would like to see a more form -based design guideline rather than traditional zoning
laws and guidelines.
Does the neighborhood block need to develop first in order for the other blocks to
develop?
Concerned about where the business loading areas will be in the urban block.
The city will need to revisit and update the signage requirements in addition to the
architectural requirements.
The city should identify current products that could be allowed.
In favor of the identity of the three blocks for development.
Staff should revisit Option B for the Town Square — does not provide for an urban
edge when the majority of the site is a parking lot on the street edge.
The board encourages development of this area.
Ms. Lindahl explained that the master plan should be considered a tool to show how the
site plan could work and how the street edge could develop. A master plan gives an idea
for the overall development of the site
B. Project Updates
Katie Larsen, City Planner. provided an update on current city projects.

b. See Attachment #1 for example.
2. Should the allowed square footage of accessory buildings and garages
differentiate between Rural Districts (R, R -X and R -BR) and Residential
Districts?
a. Example: Rural Districts based on percentage of lot size and Residential
Districts maximum 1,200 square feet total.
3. Is 20 foot height acceptable for residential accessory buildings?
a. Should maximum sidewall heights be included in ordinance?

PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
AGENDA ITEM 6B
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala
P & Z MEETING DATE: October 9, 2013
REQUEST: Discussion Item — Sign Regulations
APPLICANT: City of Lino Lakes
REVIEW DEADLINE: Not Applicable — City Initiated
BACKGROUND
Following a City Council request to review the City's temporary sign regulations, the
Planning and Zoning Board held a public forum to solicit comments from area businesses
and institutional uses. Staff also completed a survey of sign regulations for surrounding
communities. Nine (9) individuals brought forth suggestions regarding signage needs. In
general the respondents requested more flexibility in the annual day allowance, location
and duration of temporary sign permits. The board discussed several options in February
of 2013 however staff has not made any final recommendations.
In September the City Council was approached by the pastor of Gethsemane Church
requesting additional signage and expressing concern over the limited flexibility for
multiple temporary signs on a property. The council directed staff to bring the issue back
to the Planning and Zoning board for further discussion.
Based on these comments and the Planning and Zoning Board's discussion staff is
proposing the following changes and an additional option for the board's consideration.
ANALYSIS
The proposed changes for consideration are broken up into two sign categories —
Permanent Signs and Temporary Signs. It is also likely that with any amendment staff
would include some suggested modifications to the definition section of the ordinance.
Permanent Signs
1. Increase allowance for permanent signage for non - residential uses in residential
areas i.e., schools & churches as follows:
• Allow for both a wall sign and a monument sign for these uses. The
ordinance does not currently allow for both.
• Increase the allowance for ground signs to 50 sq. ft. (same as neighborhood
• business district). The City currently allows 36 sq. ft.
• Increase the allowance for wall signs to 100 sq. ft. or 10% of the wall surface
area whichever is greater. This is consistent with our commercial district
provisions. The City currently allows one wall sign with a maximum size of
50 sq. ft.
2. Change the number of wall signs allowed to one per street frontage in commercial
districts. The city currently limits the number of wall signs to one unless the
business fronts 2 streets. In this case a second sign is allowed. The proposed
change would allow signs on more than two facades if fronting more than 2
streets.
Temporary signs:
1. Provide for a temporary sign allowance of 90 days annually. This is roughly
equivalent to one week a month. Business owners would determine dates but
display would be limited to no more than 30 consecutive days. Staff will need to
further review the permitting process to accommodate the 90 day allowance. The
City currently allows one permit each quarter for a maximum of 17 days each
totaling 68 days.
• With this change additional consideration should be given to the number of
temporary signs allowed on multi -tenant properties at one time. Staff
recommends that only one sign be allowed on the property at any single time.
The property owner would be responsible for arranging signage allowances
with tenants.
2. An additional option the board may wish to consider is the allowance of 1
advertising (off - premise) sign per property. Sign size would be limited to a
suggested 4 sq. ft. (typical size of yard sign). While this would open up properties
to off - premise advertising which is not currently allowed, it would provide a legal
avenue for the placement of special event advertising signs throughout the city.
An individual, group or business would need to obtain the property owners
permission to place the sign. No signs would be allowed within the public right -
of -way. Please note however, that while the intent is to provide an opportunity to
promote school, church, or community events it would also allow for the
placement of business signage on any property within the city.
REQUESTED BOARD DIRECTION
Staff is seeking board input on the suggested modifications.
