ORDINANCE NO. 3-12
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 6 OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO
REVISE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT STANDARDS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE 2030
COMPRHENSIVE PLAN
Section 1 Findings
Section 2, Subdivision 1 of the Zoning Ordinance requires consideration of possible
adverse effects of a proposed zoning amendment and that the judgment of a proposed
amendment to the Zoning Ordinance shall be based upon, but not limited to, the
following factors:
1. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and
provisions of, and has been found to be consistent with, the official City
Comprehensive Plan.
The purpose of this amendment is to implement portions of the newly adopted
2030 comprehensive plan, and to make minor housekeeping changes as
necessary.
2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the
area.
The changes contained within this amendment will increase the compatibility
between present and future land uses.
3. The proposed use conforms to all performance standards contained herein.
This ordinance will reflect the goals of the comprehensive plan and will
establish performance standards for residential development within the city.
4. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not
overburden the City's service capacity.
The proposed amendment will require the city's service capacities to be
considered when developing residential properties, and is based on the 2030
comprehensive plan which appropriately considers service capacity.
3
5. Traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the
property.
The proposed amendment will not affect traffic generation, as the properties it
will be applied on are already guided by the comprehensive plan for
residential development of varying density.

August 10, 2011, and unanimously recommended approval of the amendment.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM 6D
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Paul Bengtson
MEETING DATE: March 12, 2012
TOPIC: i. Second Reading of Ordinance Number 3-12
ii. Resolution 12-16 - Summary for Publication
Amending the residential zoning districts within the Zoning
Ordinance
VOTE REQUIRED: 4/5 (3/5 for summary resolution)
INTRODUCTION
The newly adopted 2030 Comprehensive Plan established new policies for how residential
development will occur in Lino Lakes. The zoning ordinance is an important element in the
implementation of such policies, and many amendments will be required to bring the zoning
ordinance in alignment with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. In addition, a number of
housekeeping and procedural items have been identified by city staff and should also be
addressed at this time.
BACKGROUND
Section 6 of the Zoning Ordinance contains all of the basic requirements for the Residential
Zoning Districts within the city. Staff has comprehensively reviewed this section of the
ordinance and determined a number of changes that must be made to properly implement the
2030 Comprehensive Plan. The Planning and Zoning Board has reviewed staff recommended
amendments and identified additional changes that should be made.
The result of these efforts is now being presented to the City Council for consideration. The
format of the section will remain essentially the same, however a residential district that has not
been used in the city since its adoption (R -EC) will be eliminated.
The attached ordinance language clearly shows all amendments, but for the purpose of
presentation, staff has identified the following eight changes as being major in scope or impact:
1. Purpose statements amended to clarify that public utilities are required for development
and that development densities must be consistent with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan.
2. Buffers (as already required in the landscape standards) have been added to each district.
3. Impervious surface percentages have been set to those of the Comprehensive Plan goals.
4. The minimum building size calculations have been clarified. (During discussion of this
amendment at the March 5, 2012 work session the council decided to only clarify how the
calculation was done and not change the actual size requirements at this time.)
5. Recreational facilities have been clearly defined to exclude off-road vehicle courses.
6. The R -EC zoning district has been eliminated since it was never used after its adoption.
7. The R-2 district has been re -written to allow single family and attached two-family
dwelling units. The lot standards and setbacks have also been adjusted to allow single
family homes to potentially meet the minimum density requirement of the Medium
Residential land use category. To keep small -lot developments from taking on a `snout
house' appearance, with nothing but garage doors visible from the street, the R-2
standards include some garage/facade requirements.
8. The R-3 and R-4 districts have increased setbacks and buffering requirements when
adjacent to land that is guided Low Density Residential.
There are also additional minor changes throughout this section that are identified with the
typical strike -though and underlining of ordinance amendments.
City Council approved the first reading of Ordinance 3-12 on February 13, 2012.
At the March 5, 2012 City Council work session, the Council discussed the proposed amendment
and identified two amendments to the ordinance that they wanted to not include in the final
ordinance. The first being the dwelling size requirements for single family homes, which they
felt should remain at the current standards. The second being the changes associated with
manufactured home parks, which will require the amendment of Section 3 of the ordinance,
which is not included at this time. As a result those changes will be delayed and contemplated
when Section 3 is reviewed for consistency with the comprehensive plan.
RECOMMENDATIONS
On August 10, 2011 the Planning and Zoning Board discussed the proposed amendment,
ultimately recommending approval of the ordinance changes.
Staff recommends approval of the first reading of Ordinance Number 3-12.
