Section 1: Findings
The City Council makes the following findings regarding the application for rezoning the
property described below, based on the factors listed in Section 2, Subd.1E of the Lino Lakes
zoning ordinance:
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 project
complies with in the comprehensive plan, as reflected by the land use map: the site is guided
for Medium Density Residential uses. In fact, the current zoning is inconsistent with the
comprehensive plan and the proposed rezoning would correct the inconsistency. The project
is consistent with the growth management policy if the 20% flexibility is considered.
2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the area. The
land use map of the comprehensive plan reflects the community's decisions on what type of
development should occur in specific locations. The site is guided for medium density
residential uses. Existing and anticipated future land uses in the area are compatible with the
proposed uses.
3. Upon compliance with the conditions of approval set forth in Resolution 03-142, the
proposed use will conform with performance standards contained in the zoning ordinance,
subdivision ordinance, and other requirements. The PUD allows flexibility, and since the
project fulfills the purposes of a PUD, the flexibility is justified..
4. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not
overburden the City's service capacity. Both water and sanitary sewer service are available
in Birch St. on the north side of the site. The systems have adequate capacity. The City and
Rice Creek Watershed District will ensure that stormwater management will comply with the
requirements of the City and the Watershed.
5. As part of the project approval, Bruggeman and the developer on the north side of Birch have
agreed to cooperate in the financing of improvements to the intersection, including turn lanes
and traffic signals. The existing problem of a low level of service at the Birch/Hodgson
intersection will be improved with this development. When these improvements are
completed, traffic generation by the proposed use will be within capabilities of streets serving
the property.
