2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Introduction
______________________________________________________________________
City of Lakeville -5- Public Hearing Draft
Introduction
Minnesota Statutes 473.864, Subd. 2 requires that the City of Lakeville undertake a decennial
review of its Comprehensive Plan to coincide with the review of re gional system plans. The
Metropolitan Council has established the Thrive MSP 2040 regional plan as the basis for growth
and development within the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. Equally important to considering
regional system plans, is the opportunity to review the City’s own development policies to ensure
continued orderly growth consistent with evolving community character and goals.
The 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan is comprised of several interrelated chapters and system
plans addressing the natural environment, land use, transportation, and community facilities and
infrastructure comprised of the following separate documents:
▪ 2040 Land Use Plan
▪ 2015 Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan
▪ 2018 Transportation Plan
▪ 2018 Sanitary Sewer Plan
▪ 2018 Water Management Plan
▪ 2018 Stormwater Management Plan
▪ 2003 Wetland Management Plan
▪ Capital Improvement Plan (updated annually)
▪ Envision Lakeville Community Vision Plan
The documents of the 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan are to be used collectively by City
officials, residents, business owners and developers as a guide for the continued growth that is
to occur in Lakeville to the year 2040. With the primary focus of the comprehensive planning
process being land use development, the Comprehensive Land Use Plan chapter includes a profile
of the community’s social characteristics and current issues to be further considered in
developing the overall planning documents.
The specific Land Use Plan section of this document addresses not only existing and future l and
use, but which provides direction as to the interrelated management of natural resources,
housing, economic development, transportation, and community facilities at a neighborhood
planning district level based on forecasted growth.
The other chapters of the 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan are derived from and support the
policy foundations and plans outlined herein.
2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Introduction
______________________________________________________________________
City of Lakeville -6- Public Hearing Draft
Comprehensive Planning
Lakeville has been progressive in planning for anticipated urban development for over 40 years.
A comprehensive plan was first adopted in 1964 when the community was still a village and rural
township, followed by an update in 1968 after incorporation as a municipality. In 1975, Lakeville
adopted a comprehensive plan update in response to the initial regiona l policies developed by
the Metropolitan Council. Comprehensive plan updates occurred in 1981, 1988, 199 8, and most
recently in 2008. These past planning efforts, and their continual implementation over time,
have established a consistent direction for the changes that have occurred in Lakeville. These
past policies represent a foundation for the current comprehensive planning process such that
the 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan is to be viewed as a refinement of the community’s
development framework in response to the opportunities and challenges present in today’s local
and regional environment.
Planning Process
It is possible to complete this update of the Comprehensive Plan as a checklist of information to
be provided to satisfy the requirements of Thrive MSP 2040. Such an effort would preclude the
community the opportunity to consider the regional policies of Thrive MSP 2040 in a local
context, and to adapt regional objectives to local priorities. The effectiveness of a comprehensive
plan is greatest when the community sets the agenda for development of the document. A
locally driven planning process will ensure that the final document adopted by the City Council
reflects the interests of the community and will be a useful tool to resi dents, developers, and
decision makers in the years ahead.
The Comprehensive Plan update process started with six neighborhood meetings held at
locations throughout Lakeville. The purpose of the meetings was to initiate community
involvement in the process by seeking comments, questions, and feedback regarding
development both city-wide and specifically within individual neighborhoods.
The neighborhood meetings were supplemented by a community outreach effort developed by
the Lakeville Planning Department and Communications Department. Information regarding the
Comprehensive Plan, the planning process, and opportunities for input via email, an on -line
survey, and social media comments were provided via the City’s website and social media
formats. Presentations were also given to community organizations including the Lakeville
Rotary, Lakeville Lions, Active Adults at the Heritage Center, and the Lakeville Office of Edina
Realty to further encourage input on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. A forum was also held for
residential developers to obtain their input directly as part of the planning process. Following
this initial outreach process, work sessions with the Planning Commission and City Council were
held to consider the community input and establish direction for development of the 2040
Comprehensive Plan.
2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Introduction
______________________________________________________________________
City of Lakeville -7- Public Hearing Draft
A draft document was prepared and presented for review by the Planning Commission and City
Council in the fall of 2017. Review of the draft document at this time also included a joint work
session of the City Council, Planning Commission, and Economic Development Commission, as
well as a joint work session of the City Council and ISD 194 School Board. A second round of
neighborhood planning meetings was held in Spring 2018 to receive input on t he draft 2040
Comprehensive Plan. Feedback from these neighborhood meetings was considered by the City
Council, Planning Commission, and Economic Development Commission.
The draft 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan document was finalized and approved for
distribution to surrounding and affected jurisdictions for the required review and comment
period. Comments that were received during the review process, including additional requests
for land use changes by property owners, were summarized and reviewed by the City Council and
Planning Commission in early 2019.
The final draft of the 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan was finalized and presented for
consideration at a public hearing conducted by the Planning Commission on February 21, 2019.
The Planning Commission, after taking public testimony, closed the public hearing and voted
____ to recommend City Council adoption of the document and submission to Metropolitan
Council for approval. The City Council reviewed the 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan at their
meeting on March 4, 2019 and considered the recommendations of the Planning Commission.
Following their discussion, the City Council voted ___ to adopt Resolution 2019 -XX adopting the
2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan and authorizing submission to Metropolitan Council.
Thrive MSP 2040 Community Designation
The Metropolitan Council has adopted the Thrive MSP 2040 to ensure sustainable land use,
housing, and economic development within the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area in relation to
regional infrastructure for transportation, water resources (including waste water collection and
treatment), and regional parks and open space. The 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan must
address not only local issues and opportunities, but also be consistent with regional policies
established by Thrive MSP 2040.
Thrive MSP 2040 designates the City of Lakeville as a Suburban Edge community. Suburban Edge
communities have experienced significant residential growth that is anticipated to continue
through 2040 with large areas of land remaining to be developed. Lakeville’s growth
characteristics are consistent with this designation, with residential development starting in the
1970s and accelerating through the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. Growth in Lakeville slowed
dramatically during the recession occurring in the late 2000s, but has recovered to almost pre-
recession levels. Metropolitan Council identifies that Lakeville has been among the top 10 cities
for development within the Twin Cities during this period. Available land supply for continued
development suggests that this trend will continue through 2040 absorbing remaining
agricultural uses.

City of Lakeville -8- Public Hearing Draft
Suburban Edge communities are characterized by residential neighborhoods oriented towards
single family dwellings, with construction of townhouses and multiple family dwellings being
more recent. Commercial development includes regional and local retail businesses serving the
community’s population. Opportunity for development of industry within Suburban Edge
communities exists based on available land supply and infrastructure. Metropolitan Council
identifies regional issues for Suburban Edge Communities as managing rapid growth and change
related to:
▪ Provide for residential development within the MUSA at net density of three to five
dwelling units per acre.
▪ Aligning future development patterns for future transportation systems including transit
expansion, transitways, and walkability.
▪ Development of workforce housing.
▪ Preservation of open space and natural areas.
▪ Water supply and water recharge capacity.

Community Perspectives
Comprehensive planning efforts are most effective when the community sets the agenda for the
project, entitling them to a sense of ownership in the final policies and plans. Initiating
development of the 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan includes an issues identification process
to outline opportunities and issues that guide the remaining work program to ensure consistency
with local priorities and objectives, while complying with regional policy. The summary of issues
outlined in the following pages will be further outlined in the development framework and
system plans developed throughout the comprehensive planning process.
Envision Lakeville
In 2013 the Lakeville City Council initiated a citywide visioning process called Envision Lakeville.
The purpose of the visioning process was to bring people together to share opinions and ideas
about what they "envision" for the future of Lakeville. The process included input from
residential, commercial, and industrial property owners as well as governmental and non-
governmental organizations and a task force of community members appointed by the City
Council.
Vision Statement: "We envision a thriving, multi‐generational community where
families, friends, and neighbors connect, live, learn, work and play. Great schools;
a diverse local economy; exceptional parks, trails, and recreational opportunities;
vibrant social and cultural institutions; safe neighborhoods; and responsive and
cost‐ effective public services - together create a place we are proud to call home."
Community Identity
Lakeville has a positive community identity evidenced by the overwhelmingly positive response
from participants of Envision Lakeville, as well as neighborhood meeting participants, survey
responses, and input from developers during the comprehensive plan process. The character of
the community as family oriented, safe, and having a strong sense of place were described by
many as providing a high quality of life within Lakeville. Developers also identified community
character as one of the significant reasons growth in Lakeville will continue to be strong.
Specifically highlighted in the responses received was praise for the City’s parks and trails system,
public safety services, accessibility of City and school governments, and planning for future
growth while maintaining existing businesses and neighborhoods.

City of Lakeville -12- Public Hearing Draft
Strengthening community identity is also an opportunity for Lakeville moving forward. Further
development of office, retail, and service businesses (restaurants) will allow for more of a
live/work environment for current residents that noted a need to seek employment or patronize
areas outside of Lakeville. Efforts to enhance and promote downtown Lakeville as a destination
area will also strengthen community identity as a focal point of the City and its heritage. Finally,
continued improvement to the City’s transportation network of streets and trails will improve
connectivity between neighborhoods and destination areas of the City allowing access to
commercial areas or enjoyment of recreational opportunities that exist with the developing
system of greenway corridors.
Municipal Urban Service Area
The 2008 Comprehensive Plan included designation of staged Municipal Urban Service Area
expansion areas. This has been Lakeville’s primary growth management tool to ensure that
development occurs in an orderly, contiguous manner that provides for full utilizati on of
infrastructure investment. It had been anticipated that the City would be nearing full build out
of the 2040 MUSA after 2020 and that advance consideration would need to be given to planning
for the Urban Reserve area. However, the late-2000s recession set back the pace of development
by approximately 10 years. The 2040 MUSA map adopted by Metropolitan Council as part of
Thrive MSP 2040 designates all of Lakeville, except for the Permanent Rural areas in west
Lakeville, as being within the MUSA.
Staging of sanitary sewer expansion into undeveloped areas of Lakeville, particularly the current
Urban Reserve Area adjacent to the Cedar Avenue corridor and the potential for extension of
service into Permanent Rural areas, were topics raised at the neighborhood meetings. The issue
was raised primarily from the perspective of those seeking to develop lands within the Urban
Reserve Area, as well as areas in the current MUSA or MUSA Expansion Areas. Expansion of
sanitary sewer service must address not only physical extension of utilities, but also the
corresponding costs of development for other services and infrastructure, specifically for
transportation improvements. Residential developers cited costs for transportation
improvements and development fees as primary challenges for on-going development in
Lakeville. Those within the Permanent Rural areas of the City questioned extension of sanitary
sewer in terms of wanting to maintain the existing character of these areas, which would be
threatened by utility availability and the potential to develop urban uses. The City will need to
evaluate the timing of MUSA expansion for the remainder of MUSA Expansion Area B and the
Urban Reserve as part of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan to ensure a continuation of orderly,
managed growth.
Residential developers have inquired about the potential for annexation of territory from
surrounding townships to allow for extension of sanitary sewer utilities for development. With
Lakeville nearing absorption of available land for urban development near 2040, there will likely
be additional interest in annexation by land owners and developers as the supply of vacant land

City of Lakeville -13- Public Hearing Draft
within the City decreases but the rate of growth is projected to remain constant. Until the supply
of land within Lakeville is nearly fully absorbed by development occurring in accordance with the
City’s growth management policies, annexation of additional land to the City and expansion of
the MUSA for residential development is most likely premature, but a policy will need to be
outlined as part of the current planning process.
Land Use
Land use ultimately becomes the primary focus of any comprehensive planning effort, with all
other issues being related to or in support of the changes growth and dev elopment will bring.
The community engagement process for the 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan is no different.
With the development that has occurred in Lakeville, the issues related to land use include both
new development within existing rural areas, as well as continued infill of areas where
development has already occurred. As Lakeville continues to mature and approach complete
buildout of planned urban areas, opportunities for redevelopment will be an emerging issue.
A main focal point of the 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Land Use Plan will be the staging of
development and guiding of land uses for the Urban Reserve Area along the Cedar Avenue
corridor. The 2008 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan anticipated that there may have been demand
for development within this area by this time. However, the recession occurring during the latter
portion of the 2000s delayed the rate of growth such that expansion into the Urban Reserve was
limited to the northern edge with the Avonlea residential planned unit development. Looking
ahead to 2040, the Urban Reserve is seen to be a unique opportunity for the community to define
the character of the last remaining large area currently planned for development in Lakeville.
Comments both at neighborhood meetings and from the community survey support a wide range
of land uses within the Cedar Avenue corridor, similar to that which has already developed to the
north of Lakeville. This type of development would include higher density housing alternatives
and mixed uses, with the arrangement of land uses encouraged to follow Transit Oriented Design
(TOD) principles. These comments are consistent with the commitments Lakeville made for
density within the Cedar Avenue corridor as part of the 2008 Comprehensive Lan d Use Plan in
relation to planning for extension of the Cedar Avenue Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor (Red Line)
south into Lakeville. The type of development for the Urban Reserve Area that was described
during the neighborhood meetings would also address the trend that has occurred after the
recession in the late 2000s of developing land guided for medium or high density residential uses
with single family dwellings on smaller lots, while also providing opportunity for expanding work-
force housing in proximity to existing and planned office and industrial uses.
Another topic that generated broad-ranging input was the need to continue development of
commercial, office, and industrial uses within Lakeville. Residents desire to have more local
business options to patronize, particularly with regards to restaurants, as well as regionally
oriented commercial uses that would expand business choices within the community. The
2018 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Community Perspectives

City of Lakeville -14- Public Hearing Draft
balance of office and industrial uses and the location of where the transition occurs between
these uses south of CSAH 70 and east of I-35 was raised as a subject of review for the
comprehensive planning process. Office and industrial development is viewed as an opportunity
to expand employment within Lakeville and provide the potential for residents to both live and
work within the City as a convenience and cost savings benefit. Increased employment within
the community also has a corresponding effect of increasing day-time market potential for retail
and service commercial businesses, especially restaurants, improving the viability for such
businesses.
Community input from neighborhood meetings regarding land use was generally more focused
on localized issues, such as continued development along Kenrick Avenue between CSAH 50 and
CSAH 70, potential redevelopment of existing residential uses north of CSAH 70 near Dodd
Boulevard, or expansion of commercial uses adjacent to 205th Street west of I-35. These types
of issues will be explored in detail during the planning district efforts in developing the 2040 Land
Use Plan.
Housing
Within the discussion of land use, housing was also extensively commented upon as part of the
community input process. Single family dwellings have been and will continue to be the primary
form of housing within Lakeville projected by Metropolitan Council, as well as anticipated by
residential developers. Residential developers anticipate that the housing market in Lakeville
will continue to be focused primarily on new families and move-up households, followed by
millennials. Demand for senior housing is anticipated to be strong both by residents and
developers. Both residential developers and residents see opportunities for diversification of
housing within Lakeville for detached townhome, two-family, and townhouse uses, with options
for single level living included within these types of dwellings, and attainable senior housing. The
decline of attached townhouse development since the late 2000s recession has been noted and
there was support for increased construction of this type of housing along with opportunities for
apartments. Residential developers spoke of challenges for continued residential growth
because the land that was available at a low cost after the recession has now been mostly platted
and land owners are again seeking premium value for their properties. Residential developers
also indicate that development costs, including infrastructure and fees, effect affordability. At
the same time, existing neighborhoods will require more attention to preservation and
maintenance in the future, which can serve to provide opportunities for housing accessible to
new families and workforce housing.
Thrive MSP 2040 requires the City to achieve an average density of three to five dwelling units
per acre for residential development within the MUSA. Thrive MSP 2040 further includes a
Housing Policy Plan that the City has reviewed in advance of its efforts to undertake an update
of the Lakeville Comprehensive Plan. Lakeville concurs with the Metropolitan Council that

City of Lakeville -15- Public Hearing Draft
providing for a diversity of viable housing options for persons of all ages, incomes and life
circumstances is a fundamental goal important to the quality of life in the community and the
economic vitality of the City. The City’s review of the Thrive MSP 2040 Housing Policy Plan and
the comments outlined herein are made in consideration of Lakeville’s own vision for growth and
development that will continue in the community as well as the guidelines of the Thrive MSP
2040 regional plan:
▪ The Thrive MSP 2040 Housing Policy Plan changes the focus of the document from guiding
development of regional and local housing policy requiring the City to implement
programs, fiscal devices, and other specific actions (Minnesota Statutes 473.859, Subd. 4)
to achieve workforce housing targets defined for Lakeville by the Metropolitan Council.
The City of Lakeville strongly believes that our elected officials are acutely aware of the
City’s housing needs and consistently review our plans and goals to address the changing
demographics in our city.
▪ The Metropolitan Council’s allocation for workforce housing units includes adjustment
factors such that cities like Lakeville are expected to develop workforce housing beyond
their proportionate share of the region’s attainable housing needs within the 10-year
period from 2020 to 2030.
▪ The City will need to designate within its 2040 Staged MUSA Expansion Areas Plan and
2040 Land Use Plan a minimum of 176 acres of land for development by 2030 at densities
of eight dwelling units per acre or more at which housing units available at 80 percent of
the AMI can be constructed. The area of land for development at these densities likely
can be guided along Cedar Avenue within the Special Plan Area designated by the 2008
Lakeville Comprehensive Plan.
▪ The City is concerned that Metropolitan Council’s allocation of 35 percent of the new
housing units in Lakeville to be constructed between 2020 and 2030 be attainable at less
than 80 percent of AMI is not likely to be achieved given an evaluation of the existing
housing supply, current and probable future market factors or fiscal resource
requirements for development in Lakeville.
▪ The inability of the City to meet the Metropolitan Council’s targets for wor kforce housing
has potentially severe implications for other elements of development in Lakeville due to
the resulting effect to the City’s Housing Performance Score. A low Housing Performance
Score would decrease the City’s ability to obtain certain Met ropolitan Council housing
incentive funding for development of attainable housing and regional funding for critical
infrastructure needed to accommodate overall allocations of development as part of
Thrive MSP 2040.
2018 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Community Perspectives

City of Lakeville -16- Public Hearing Draft
Transportation
Thrive MSP 2040 elevates transportation system planning to a policy level to emphasize a greater
correlation between land use and transportation. This has been a fundamental approach to
planning in Lakeville since the 1970s and continues with the most recent 2008 Lakeville
Comprehensive Plan. However, the Thrive MSP 2040 Transportation Policy Plan seeks to utilize
transportation planning and investment to effect changes in development practices in Suburban
Edge communities, such as Lakeville, to align with plans for future expansion of transit services
and transitways. The ability to realize this goal of shifting from automobile -oriented
development to a more balanced approach is good in theory, but this requires necessary levels
of investment balanced throughout the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area and an overall
transportation system that works to support planned development both in a regional and local
context.
Expansion of the MUSA to 2040 in Lakeville would include additional urban development being
planned for areas adjacent to the Cedar Avenue Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Corridor (Red Line).
Thrive MSP 2040 will require that areas adjacent to the Cedar Avenue BRT Corridor (Red Line)
provide a minimum residential density of 8 dwelling units per acre, which is greater tha n the 7
units per acre density that Lakeville committed to within the 2008 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan.
For the City to allow this level of development along the Cedar BRT corridor (Red Line), and at a
level of 3 to 5 dwelling units per acre for all residential development within the MUSA in Lakeville,
Metropolitan Council needs to be prepared to provide transportation system improvements
parallel with construction of residential dwellings. Moreover, the investments in transportation
system improvements must recognize Lakeville’s own strategies for promoting transit in
consideration of the community’s vision for residential development focusing on centralized
transit facilities on I-35 and Cedar Avenue allowing commuters to have park and ride options. In
terms of economic development, planning and investment in transportation systems from
Lakeville’s perspective must provide a balanced approach for employment and freight so as to
facilitate development of areas of the City planned for commercial, office, and industrial uses,
and not to function only as an expressway to employment centers outside of Lakeville.
The Thrive MSP 2040 Transportation Policy Plan identifies a Current Revenue Scenario and
Increased Revenue Scenario for funding operation and maintenance of current transportation
systems and as a basis for timing possible capacity improvements to the regional transportation
system. The Current Revenue Scenario, with only inflationary increases in revenue (but
decreasing State and Federal aid below inflation), severely limits maintenance and operations
spending and the ability to undertake capacity improvements to the point that levels of service
will degrade and become a brake on regional development. The effects of such a funding
scenario would be most significant in Suburban Edge communities where most of the projected
growth will occur through 2040 that requires additional infrastructure improvements, yet there
are only maintenance and minimal operational improvements designated for both highway s and
transit for Lakeville.
2018 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Community Perspectives
______________________________________________________________________
City of Lakeville -17- Public Hearing Draft
Even under the Increased Revenue Scenario, the additional funding that would be obtained (from
unidentified sources), would not be allocated on a regional basis to areas where development is
guided to occur at densities dependent on expanded system capacity. There is wide community
support for expansion of transit into Lakeville based on comments received at neighborhood
meetings and the community surveys. But, funding is allocated to extend the Cedar Avenue BRT
(Red Line) to the existing park and ride facility at 181st Street by 2019. However, the Thrive MSP
2040 Transportation Policy Plan designates no other capacity improvement to occur on I -35,
Cedar Avenue or other major roadways benefiting Lakeville under either the Current Revenue
Scenario or Increased Revenue Scenario.
Lakeville remains concerned about the lack of planning and financing to improve regional
transportation infrastructure necessary to support mandated development forecasts within the
community. This concern is raised after a period during which Lakeville proactively addressed
increasing traffic congestion by undertaking, at its cost, $28.6 Million in improvements to regional
roadway systems, the City Council reaching agreement with the Metropolitan Council to expand
the Metropolitan Transit District to include Lakeville, and the City actively participating in the
planning for the proposed Interstate 35 (Orange Line) and the Cedar Avenue BRT (Red Line)
Corridors. Transportation priorities identified through comments from the community include
the realignment of Dodd Boulevard at Cedar Avenue and extension of 179 th Street to Pilot Knob
Road, construction of 185th Street between Dodd Boulevard and Cedar Avenue, as well as
upgrades of existing streets planned to serve as collector roadways as development expands.
These projects benefit not only Lakeville residents and businesses, but transportation system
users in adjacent developing cities and townships. However, these facility improvements alone
will not be adequate to provide for a functional transportation system and capacity for Lakeville’s
forecasted growth through 2030, much less 2040. City officials will need to consider as part of
the 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan update how to incorporate the 8 dwelling units per acre
density requirement and policies to promote Transit Oriented Design along the Cedar Avenue
corridor, as recommended by Thrive MSP 2040, when there is no funding for extension of the
Cedar Avenue BRT (Red Line) south of the 181st St. park and ride. Likewise, the I-35 corridor
would provide opportunities for higher density housing and/or transit oriented development if a
regional commitment was in place to extend the Interstate 35 (Orange Line) BRT south of Kenrick
Avenue (CSAH 50) to CSAH 70, which would also serve planned office and industrial uses.
The Thrive MSP 2040 Transportation Policy Plan outlines investment and direction plans for how
the limited transportation funding that would be available under either the Current Revenue
Scenario or Increased Revenue Scenario is to be allocated. The criteria for allocation of these
funds is established by the Thrive MSP 2040 Transportation Policy Plan with minimal regard for
regional balance, utilizing social economic and housing data in such a way so as to create built in
bias for projects benefiting Urban Center communities over other areas of the Twin Cities
Metropolitan Area. Furthermore, the advisory groups recommending the criteria for
transportation planning and recommendations for project investment do not include adequate

representation necessary for regional balance in the Metropolitan Council’s decision -making
process.
Lakeville believes that increased representation at a policy making level in advising Metropolitan
Council and increased financial spending from Federal, State, and regional governments on a
regional basis is an absolute necessity to expand the capacity of transportation system
infrastructure for Suburban Edge communities, including transit and r oadways for automobiles
and freight. Residential developers also discussed transportation improvements and funding as
being a major challenge for growth in communities such as Lakeville where infrastructure
investments must be made simultaneously with land use development. Without such a
commitment to funding needed for transportation system maintenance, operation and capacity
expansion, Lakeville will be unable to support projected population, household and employment
growth within the City and will need to contemplate appropriate measures to address this issue.
Schools
Lakeville is served by three school districts; Lakeville Area Public Schools (ISD 194), Apple Valley -
Rosemount-Eagan (ISD 196), and Farmington (ISD 192). The schools serving Lakeville were
among the most numerous responses by residents as contributing to the high quality of life within
the community and by developers as a factor in the strong residential growth rate within the City.
The City and the three School Districts have esta blished coordinated responses to growth in
Lakeville to ensure that quality facilities and infrastructure needed to support education is
provided.
The demographic changes occurring within the community will affect school operations and
facility planning. Specifically, increases in population and households and the demographics of
household size and household composition, age characteristics, and income will all translate to
the student population at Lakeville schools. As noted, continued maturation of existing
developed areas will change the needs of existing school facilities. At the same time, new
development will continue to bring in new families and slow the decline in school age population
within Lakeville, although within different areas of the City. Some new families will acquire
housing in existing developed areas of Lakeville backfilling families leaving the area and thus
utilizing existing education facilities. Additional input as to these changes at an enrollment level
is an opportunity for discussion between the City and School Districts.
The demographic and land use changes that will occur through 2040 will require maintenance of
existing facilities and potential new facilities to serve areas of Lakeville not yet developed.
Therefore, in considering the establishment of the 2040 Land Use Plan, the City must coordinate
efforts with the School Districts to anticipate facility changes and locations for new facilities.
Such locations must be complementary to surrounding residential development, must be served
by City sanitary sewer and water utilities, and must have access to transportation infrastructure
including streets, as well as safe routes to school via sidewalk, trail, and greenway corridors.

Airlake Airport
The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) adopted the 2035 Airlake Airport Long-Term
Comprehensive Plan in April 2018. Airlake Airport serves primarily personal, recreation, and
business aviation in the southern portion of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. Airlake Airport is
classified as a Complementary Reliever facility as part of the MAC system, a Minor Airport by
Metropolitan Council, and as an Intermediate Airport by the Minnesota Department of
Transportation. The function of the airport is not recommended to change through 2035.
Growth projections prepared as part of the 2035 Airlake Airport Long-Term Comprehensive Plan
suggest a potential need for expanded facilities, including runway expansion and landside
support facilities including indoor hanger storage and expanded apron. MAC has indicated that
expansion of the runway can be achieved without the realignment of Cedar Avenue east of the
airport. The potential expansion of landside facilities at Airlake Airport may include additional
needs for sanitary sewer and water utilities, which are to be provided by the City.
Parks and Trails
The City’s parks and trails system and recreation programing has been consistently identified as
a significant community amenity. The development of the parks, trails, an d recreation system
provides for preservation of natural resources, provides neighborhood focal points, and
accommodates community events such as Pan-O-Prog, athletic associations, and recreation
programs, all of which bring Lakeville together. Evolution of the parks and trail system to include
more greenway corridors as linear parks is also commented on positively as providing recreation
opportunities (as well as serving a transportation function) accessible and appealing to a broad
range of age groups. Expansion of the parks and trails system is anticipated to continue with
development and provide for completion of park service areas and trail segments. Comments
regarding the expansion of the parks and trails system focused on adding elements that ser ve
community-wide users such as a community center and indoor athletic and play facilities, splash
pads, a band shell, and expanded recreation opportunities at pubic water accesses.

Sustainability
An underlying theme for all elements of the 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan is sustainability.
Thrive MSP 2040 include policies on community resiliency intended to position cities to respond
to issues related to climate change. While the regional policy is focused on issues of climate
change, adopting policies to promote sustainable development will reduce stress on the natural
environment and reduce costs associated public services and facilities. These policies mirror
efforts of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s GreenStep Cities progra m that outlines 29
best management practices to implement in the areas of buildings and lighting, land use,
transportation, environmental management, waste management, and economic and community
development. There is local support for sustainable develop ment policies in the form of
maximizing protection and preservation of natural areas in Lakeville, providing infrastructure for
electric cars, working to expand transit options both as part of the regional system and intra -
community options, expanding Lakeville’s system of sidewalks, trails, and greenway corridors
both to promote healthy living and serve as an alternative transportation option, allowances for
local food access, and access to solar energy.

The rate of population and household growth anticipated for Lakeville is generally 10 years
behind the projections adopted as part of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, which is evidence of
the significant impacts on development that occurred during the recession during the latter half
of the prior decade. With continued available land supply and favorable economic conditions,
residential development in Lakeville will result in approximately 9,400 new households being
added by 2040. The pace of development is projected to accelerate from current levels to 400
households per year between 2020 and 2030, then slowing again as development nears
absorption of available land. The increase in population will not occur at the same growth rate
due to continued decreases in household size. The decrease in household size reflects an aging
population, families having fewer children, and contemporary characteristics of household
makeup. Continued job growth for office, business, and industrial uses will also be a factor in
continued population growth in Lakeville.

Age Characteristics
The U.S. Census illustrates the population of the City of Lakeville by age group. In 1990, the labor
force represented the largest age group, followed by school age children. The labor force age
group continues to be the largest segment of the population, but the retirement age group has
increased significantly since 2000 with a decrease in the school age segment in terms of
percentage of total population. The significant increase in the retired age group may also be
attributed to development of 653 senior housing units within Lakeville over the last 10 ye ars,
which may affect an in-migration of seniors to Lakeville to be closer to adult children. The median
age in Lakeville in 2000 was 32.0 years, which increased to 34.8 years by 2010.
The U.S Census 2012-2016 5-Year Community Survey indicates a further increase in median age
in Lakeville to 35.2 years. Lakeville’s population median age will continue to increase as the
retired age group will grow due to the labor force group aging and people continue to live longer.
This trend is supported by the 2014 Comprehensive Housing Needs Assessments study by the
Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) that forecasts the greatest growth in
Lakeville’s population will be persons over 35 years in age. A decline the school age population
will likely be slowed with continued residential development as new families occupy homes
constructed in Lakeville. The Dakota County CDA study projects that Lakeville’s school and
retirement age populations will be equal by 2030.

Goals and Policies
POLICY PLANNING
The foundation of the 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan are community goals that establish
Lakeville’s objectives for its developed environment and the means to achiev e the desired
outcomes through policies implementing the Comprehensive Plan. Lakeville’s goals and policies
will be the basis of and complement the City’s maps, ordinances, and codes that are more fixed
documents in addressing development activity guided by the 2040 Land Use Plan.
These goals and policies will also allow the City to adapt to emerging development trends not
anticipated today that will provide continuity for the 2040 Comprehensive Plan for future City
Councils, Planning Commissions, property owners, residents and developers. More than any
other element of the Comprehensive Plan, the statement of community goals and policies is an
evolution of prior Comprehensive Plans that are expanded upon from the City’s perspectives and
influences at this point in time.
The goals and policy statements to be included within the development framework and system
plans do not establish priorities or timelines for actions, but rather provide criteria to be used to
direct the decision-making process. A single policy may outline a course of action in some cases,
but more frequently a group of policies relevant to a given situation will apply. The format of the
terms “goals” and “policies” where they are included in the development framework and system
plans are used in context of the following definitions:
Goals: The outcome that will result in achieving the kind of development
environment that is desired in Lakeville.
Policies: Actions that serve as a guide to help make present and future
decisions that will result in achievement of Lakeville’s stated goals.

Community Values
The primary function of municipal government is to provide an orderly, safe, productive, and
enhanced environment for living and working. While this encompasses social, physical, and
economic opportunities and issues, the City of Lakeville primarily influences the quality of life for
its residents through the physical environment. The following are a list of community values
identified as part of the Envision Lakeville process that guide the planning process to develop the
2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan:
▪ Diversified Economic Development; We value the stability and independence provided
by a strong, diversified local economy. In 25 years, Lakeville will have a diversified
economy that provides residents with expanded opportunities to work within the City and
to meet their shopping, health care, and other daily needs. A mix of industrial, office, and
retail development will help to provide the tax base needed to support high quality public
services.
▪ Good Value for Public Services; We value high-quality public services delivered cost
effectively. The City of Lakeville has established an enviable track record of fiscal
responsibility, excellent quality of services, and good value for its public expenditures.
Lakeville will continue to uphold these values over the next 25 years.
▪ Safety Throughout the Community; We value living in a community where people feel
safe everywhere they go. Lakeville residents feel safe throughout the City – in parks and
on trails, in commercial areas, in neighborhoods, and in their homes. Over the next 25
years, Lakeville residents will go about their daily lives confident of their safety and
security.
▪ Design That Connects the Community; We value a well-designed community and we
place a priority on development that enhances connectivity and accommodates our
changing needs. Great communities don’t just happen. They’re the result of thoughtful
design and careful execution. Lakeville will plan an appropriate mix of housing types, a
quality transportation system, and other elements that support a well -connected City
with a strong sense of community.
▪ High Quality Education; We value and are committed to high quality education that sets
us apart. Lakeville residents came here for high quality schools more than any other
reason. Lakeville will continue to attract those seeking the highest quality E-12 education
and will also offer continuing education opportunities for the lifelong learner.

City of Lakeville -29- Public Hearing Draft
▪ A Home for All Ages and Stages of Life; We value living options for people of all ages
and stages of life. Lakeville will be a community where residents can live and age in place.
We will accommodate individuals and families at all stages of life. We will strive to meet
the housing, transportation, education, shopping, access to health care, and other needs
of all demographic groups within the City.
▪ A Sense of Community and Belonging; We value the sense of belonging that comes from
our traditions and institutions, and we strive to support and preserve them . Lakeville
residents draw a sense of community and belonging from a range of institutions and
activities that exist within the City. We highly value these institutions and activities
including neighborhoods, schools, places of worship, recreation, athletics and community
celebrations.
▪ Access to a Multitude of Natural Amenities and Recreational Opportunities; We value
widespread access to nature, the outdoors, and recreational opportunities of all kinds.
Lakeville is blessed with a multitude of natural amenities that enhance quality of life. We
will continue to provide exceptional parks, trails, recreation, cultural opportunities, youth
sports, and protect the natural beauty that makes Lakeville desirable, with a strong sense
of community.
These vision statements will be the basis for more specific goals and policies related to the natural
environment, land use, transportation and community facilities. Strategic priorities and key
initiatives of the Envision Lakeville process will be incorporated throughout the 2040 Lakeville
Comprehensive Plan.

Natural Resources
The importance of continued community growth integrated with natural resources is recognized
in Lakeville. The proper preservation, protection and utilization of the natural environment as a
valuable amenity or as a constraint or barrier for development are guided by the following goals
and policies.
Goal: Growth in Lakeville shall be accommodated while protecting the environment by
integrating new urban development with the City’s natural resources in a compatible manner.
Policies:
▪ Consider Lakeville’s environmental amenities and constraints in the formulation of the
2040 Land Use Plan and establish compatible land use patterns that relate to
environmental features.
▪ Continue to utilize Lakeville’s established development regulations or formulate new
performance standards and design requirements to protect natural features important to
the community and vital to desirable development.
▪ Integrate new development and subdivision design with the natural characteristics of the
land to enhance the preservation of attractive natural amenities in Lakeville.
▪ Create awareness of the importance of the environment through community education,
volunteerism in open space maintenance, and Lakeville citizen stewardship activities.
▪ Support programs aimed at reducing water, air, glare, and noise pollution and incorporate
State and Federal pollution regulations into Lakeville policy or regulations when
appropriate.
▪ Adopt policies and implement best management practices outlined by the Minnesota
Green Step Cities program as applicable.
▪ Continue to implement and review the adequacy of buffer yard setbacks along major
street thoroughfares in Lakeville to mitigate pollution concerns related to traffic.
▪ Require all development near Interstate 35 and Airlake Airport to consider and address
through compatible land uses the impacts of the noise levels in the area when designating
land uses and activities to ensure that there will not be an expectation in the future for
noise abatement measures.

Natural Resources
Protection of environmentally sensitive areas has always been a priority in Lakeville. These
features have aesthetic values that define the character of Lak eville and have served to attract
new development to the community. In addition to aesthetic value, the elements that comprise
Lakeville’s natural resources serve important ecological functions and create boundaries that
define the pattern of urban development. Continued expansion of urban development in
Lakeville must be carefully managed to avoid degradation of the natural resources. It is necessary
then as part of the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan update that special attention be given to
the protection of these areas. The focus of protection efforts with respect to natural resources
within Lakeville continues to be integration of these natural conditions with urban land uses.
Lakes and Tributaries
There are seven lakes and six tributaries in Lakeville. These natural resources contribute
significantly to the recreational opportunities and aesthetic character of the community. Two
lakes, Horseshoe Lake and Crystal Lake are within both the City of Lakeville and City of Burnsville;
coordination of water resource management and floodplain protection for these water bodies
will require joint efforts and cooperation between the two cities.
To manage development that occurs in areas adjacent to these lakes and tributaries, Lakeville
has established a Shoreland Overlay District as part of the Zoning Ordinance. The Shoreland
Overlay District was initially adopted in 1978 and updated in 1980 and 1993 in accordance with
Minnesota Statues and Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Rules. The requirements of the
Shoreland Overlay District are intended to maintain the natural character of the shoreline and
protect the designated water bodies from overcrowding, pollution, and flooding.
Based on the environmental and physical characteristics of the feature , the State of Minnesota
has assigned a classification to each lake and tributary. The surface water classifications in
Lakeville include Recreational Development lakes (RD), Natural Environment lakes (NE) and
Tributaries (T). The table below lists the classifications for the seven lakes within Lakeville.

At the time the classifications were initially established by the DNR, there was no provision for
assigning different classifications to portions of a particular lake . The DNR has adopted
alternative shoreland management rules that allow for more flexible application of the lake
classification criteria and development regulations including assigning more than one
classification where the characteristics of the lake an d shoreline areas are consistent with
different management criteria. The City and DNR initiated reclassifying that portion of Lake
Marion west of I-35 from Recreational Development to Natural Environment to better protect
the water body, surrounding wetlands, vegetation and other natural resources within the
Shoreland Overlay District. The standards for development under the Natural Environment
classification are also consistent with the designation of the area as MUSA Expansion Area B and
planned continuation of rural residential land use in the area. Lakeville’s Ritter Farm Park
represents most of the south shoreline of the west bay of Lake Marion.

The 2015 Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan promotes development of greenways along these
designated tributaries. The greenways are linear parks ranging between 75 and 150 feet in width
intended to provide a natural buffer between urban development and the tributaries to protect their
ecological functions. The greenway corridors also provide areas for wildlife habitat and movement
through urban areas and access to natural amenities and passive recreational opportunities for the
community.
Wetlands
Wetlands serve important ecological functions in Lakeville including providing critical wildlife habitat,
aid stormwater management by acting to improve water quality, rate control during rain events,
nutrient assimilation, ground water recharge and aesthetic value, nature observation and areas for
education and research. Wetlands are protected from intrusion by the Wetland Conservation Act of
1991 implemented through the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance. Lakeville’s effort to
protect, preserve and enhance wetlands within the community includes development of the Wetland
Management Plan adopted in 2003. The 2003 Wetland Management Plan includes an inventory of
wetland areas within Lakeville, assignment of classifications, and outlines management strategies
based on these classifications providing a comprehensive approach to protection of these natural
resources. The Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance include requirements for establishment
of buffers and building setbacks from wetlands based on the classification assigned by the Wetland
2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Natural Resources

City of Lakeville -52- Public Hearing Draft
Management Plan. The Wetland Management Plan also works in conjunction w ith the Stormwater
Management Plan to address stormwater issues related to urban development.
Floodplain
Development in floodplain areas creates risk to public safety and expense related to property
damage. To minimize these risks, the City adopted re gulations as part of its Zoning Ordinance in
1990 to direct allowed uses and development standards for floodplain areas. An updated flood
insurance rate study was prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in 1998
to amend the flood elevations in Lakeville. The City will continue to apply the regulations of the
Floodplain Overlay District to manage the type of development allowed in floodplain areas.
Topography and Soils
Lakeville’s topography can be generally described as hilly in th e western portion, gently rolling in
central areas and level in the eastern section of the City. Areas with slopes greater than 18 percent,
located primarily in the western areas of the City present limitations for development related to
building location, street extensions and provision of utilities. The Subdivision Ordinance established
protections for areas of steep slope including design standards, drainage and erosion control.
The soils found in a particular area often determine the type and extent of urban development that
can occur. The United States Department of Agriculture completed a detailed survey of Soils in
Dakota County in 1980. Mapping at this large scale is a very generalized representation of soils. Soils
within Lakeville are categorized within one of five associations:
▪ Kingsley-Mahtomedi: Soils in this association are characterized as having gently sloping to
very steep grades and is well to excessively drained. Are as with these soils can be poorly
suited for buildings and careful site design and landscaping are necessary to accommodate
development and prevent erosion.
▪ Ostrander-Klinger-Maxfield: The grades for this soil association range from nearly level to
sloping conditions. The soils are between being considered poorly d rained to well drained.
Ostrander and Klinger soils are considered suitable for building construction whereas the high
water table of the Maxfield association presents severe limitations for buildings.
▪ Waukegan-Wadena-Hawick: This soil association has slopes ranging between level to very
steep. These soils have rapid permeability and potentially high-water tables that present
limitations for development.
▪ Tallala-Port-Byron: Topography within this soil association range from nearly level to steep
slopes. These soils are well drained. This soil association is well suited to accommodate
development.

Efforts must be made during the development process to verify the soil conditions and the ability
of an area to support development to avoid future problems. The City will continue to require
soil borings to identify potential areas of poor soils. Where poor soils are identified, appropriate
soil correction and/or construction methods will be required to be implemented. New principal
buildings will be required to be constructed at least three feet above the known water level.
Development proposals must also provide for appropriate erosion control, slope protection and
sedimentation protection measures during construction to be approved by the City En gineer.
Aggregate deposits have been identified by the Metropolitan Council as a regional resource to
be protected for extraction in support of anticipated regional growth. The Minnesota DNR has
mapped a generalized inventory of sand and gravel deposits within the Twin Cities Metropolitan
Area. The map illustrates scattered deposits within Lakeville with larger concentrations in the
northeast and southwest areas of the City. While a number of gravel pits have existed within the
City, only one is currently active. This active gravel mining operation is located in southeast
quadrant of I-36 and 185th Street (CSAH 60) adjacent to Lake Marion. The interim use permit
governing the mining operation will expire in 2021 at which time the area is anticipated to be
reclaimed for development.
Extraction of sand and gravel deposits must be regulated in a manner so as to be compatible with
existing and planned development of the surrounding area. The intent of such regulations is to
allow for the use without negatively impacting the natural environment or City infrastructure.
New gravel mining operations will be limited to an interim use in areas designated as MUSA
Expansion Areas, Urban Reserve, or Permanent Rural on the MUSA Staging Plan map so as not to
interfere with planned urban growth. The City will also continue to regulate gravel mining
through the Extraction and Mining Ordinance included within the City Code. The City utilizes this
ordinance to evaluate gravel mining plans and operations in issuing an annual license. These
regulations allow the City to proactively mitigate potential land use compatibility issues and
negative impacts during the operation. A plan for reclamation of the gravel mine and future land
use is also required for approval of a license to ensure that the ultimate plan for the parcel is
Vegetation
There is a diversity of natural vegetation in Lakeville, including woodlands, Oaks savannahs,
prairie and wetlands. These areas are a valuable aesthetic and natural resource that the
community wishes to be preserved in conjunction with continued growth. New development
also creates potential to add to the existing vegetation in Lakeville through continued
implementation of the landscaping requirements established by the Zoning Ordinance,
Subdivision Ordinance and Corridor and Gateway Design Guidelines.

City of Lakeville -62- Public Hearing Draft
The City has zoned for large lot subdivision and development clustering in areas of the City having
significant tree cover in an effort to minimize the removal of existing trees or large stands of
trees. Lakeville has also adopted tree preservation requirements as part of its Zoning Ordinance
and Subdivision Ordinance to protect existing trees and provide for replacement of lost trees for
both subdivision and individual lot development. The structure of the tree preservation
requirements encourages street layouts, lot configurations and building pad locations to
minimize tree removal. Tree preservation is evaluated as part of the development review process
but is mainly a voluntary effort. City officials have stated a need to review the City’s tree
preservation standard to more proactively protect existing vegetation in remaining rural areas of
Lakeville in anticipation of future development. The 2015 Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan
promotes preservation of significant vegetation through designation of conservation areas
identified for acquisition and development of greenway corridors.
Noise
Urban development is accompanied by increasing noise levels from increasing traffic and general
activity that can impact the community. These potential impacts must be anticipated during the
development process to avoid future issues by providing proper transition between noise
generators and uses sensitive to noise impacts. Lakeville requires the use of landscaping and site
design to aesthetically and physically separate different types of land uses and to provide
protection from noise along major roadways. The City will consider development of more specific
buffer yard standards to define the extent of the landscaping between land uses of different
intensities to ensure appropriate screening as part of a Zoning Ordinance. These regulations
would be similar in application to the existing residential buffer yard standards estab lished to
require additional lot depth, increase principal building setbacks and specific landscape
requirements for residential subdivisions abutting major collector and arterial streets within
Lakeville. Required buffer yard measures and proper land use planning of locating higher
intensity land uses adjacent to major roadways to transition to low density residential
neighborhoods will be the primary form of noise mitigation opposed to construction of sound
walls.
Light Pollution
On-going development within Lakeville is accompanied by additional light sources intended to
illuminate streets, intersections, yards, parks, parking lots, business signs, etc. The growing
number of light sources within the City results in increased light being directed or r eflected
skyward that can obscure the dark sky. To ensure appropriate levels of night time illumination
that are controlled in intensity and direction to preserve the dark sky, the City has implemented
exterior lighting performance standards for new developments and redevelopment of existing
uses within Lakeville as part of the Zoning Ordinance. These standards address basic lighting
issues such as glare cast to a public right-of-way or adjacent residential properties.

Alternative Energy
Adequate access to sunlight for all properties in Lakeville is a priority not only for potential solar
energy systems, but for aesthetic reasons as well. Solar access protection is provided for in
Lakeville by the uniform implementation of lot and building performance standards adopted as
part of the Zoning Ordinance. Requirements such as maximum building height and yard setback
standards are implemented for the purpose of creating separation between structures and
allowing equal sunlight access such that a property is not in the shadow of an adjacent building.
The City adopted regulations for solar energy systems as part of the Zoning Ordinance in 2010.
Solar energy systems are allowed as a permitted accessory use within all zoning distri cts to
encourage their use for natural resource conservation. Solar energy systems mounted on a
principal building are limited only by the height of the principal building. Ground mounted
systems are regulated as accessory structures subject to location, setback, area as well as height.
The Zoning Ordinance also makes allowance for Wind Energy Conversion Systems, and ground
source heat pump systems. These alternative energy systems are also allowed as permitted
accessory uses subject to the performance standards of the applicable zoning district. The
Zoning Ordinance also allows for WECSs that exceed the height limit of the zoning district in which
they are located to allow for the system to have clearance above the tree canopy for maximum
efficiency.
The City participates in the MN GreenStep Cities and may consider enrollment in the U.S.
Department of Energy SolSmart Program, and Xcel Energy’s Partners in Energy Program
and Community Energy Profile Report for alternative energy planning, technical, and policy
assistance.

2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Land Use
______________________________________________________________________
City of Lakeville -69- Public Hearing Draft
Land Use
The Land Use chapter of the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan update provides a framework
to guide future growth and development with supporting infrastructure improvements in
Lakeville.
The Land Use chapter is based upon previous community comprehensive planning efforts and
the Issues Identification, Social Profile and Goals and Policies chapters of the 2040
Comprehensive Land Use Plan update. Outlined herein is a narrative and graph ic description of
anticipated development to occur in Lakeville through 2040. The text of the 2040 Land Use Plan
provides the background and rationale for land use designations shown on the 2040 Land Use
Plan map to serve as a community education and decision-making tool to improve the
understanding of how continued growth in Lakeville is to occur.
The primary emphasis of the 2040 Land Use Plan is new development of residential, commercial,
office, and industrial uses. This emphasis is consistent with Lakeville’s designation as a Suburban
Edge community under the Metropolitan Council’s Thrive MSP 2040 regional plan and the
anticipated population, household, and employment growth that is to occur. As Lakeville
continues to mature towards a fully developed community, more attention must also be directed
towards maintenance, rehabilitation, and redevelopment of existing developed areas of the
community. The 2040 Land Use Plan is to be considered in relation to the infrastructure, facilities
and system plans needed to support the designated land uses.
Growth Management
An important tool for Lakeville in managing the growth that is occurring within the community
has been the Strategic Growth Management Plan. The Strategic Growth Management Plan
initially adopted in 1995 ensures that new development is accompanied by necessary supporting
infrastructure and facilities. Continued implementation of Lakeville’s established growth
management goals and policies will be a foundation of the 2040 Land Use Plan in response to
both regional and local issues.
Generally, Lakeville will encourage a rate of development and variety of land uses to expand and
diversify the community’s tax base and maintain a favorable financial condition. Lakeville
recognizes the interrelation between continued residential growth and economic development
being critical for the success of residential, commercial, and industrial land uses. To this end, the
City will give a high priority to allocation of resources to sustain existing businesses and industry
and also attracting new opportunities. At the same time, guidance will be provided regarding
the type, location, and rate of residential growth to maintain an average addition of up to 550
2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Land Use

City of Lakeville -70- Public Hearing Draft
new single family dwelling units per year so as not to overburden the City’s service capacity and
infrastructure. All new development will be encouraged to follow an orderly pattern of
development capitalizing on existing infrastructure to avoid premature investment in additional
utilities and services. Furthermore, Lakeville encourages high quality architecture and building
construction to promote a positive community aesthetic and long-term durability.
As part of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, Lakeville must coordinate its growth management
and comprehensive planning efforts with other government jurisdictions and agencies to realize
both regional and local objectives. Growth in Lakeville must occur at a rate that can be
accommodated not only by quality local services, but regional infrastructure including that which
is provided by neighboring cities and townships, three school districts, Dakota County, Dakota
County CDA, Metropolitan Council, and the State of Minnesota. The following criteria will be
used in allowing for development of the land uses guided by the 2040 Land Use Plan only when
a proposer demonstrates that the use will be accompanied by necessary local and regional
infrastructure and services:
1. A proposed development shall be consistent with the goals, policies, and
recommendations of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and follow planned public
improvement corridors or constitute an infilling of development.
2. A proposed development shall have adequate waste disposal systems if within the MUSA
there is adequate sewer capacity in the present system to support the proposed
development if constructed to its maximum permissible density.
3. A proposed development shall have an adequate water supply if there are sources of
water to serve the proposed development if constructed to it s maximum permissible
density without causing an unreasonable depreciation of existing water supplies for
surrounding areas.
4. A proposed development shall provide for storm water management and surface or
subsurface water retention and runoff such that it does not constitute a danger to the
security of structures within the proposed development, the proposed development will
not result in pollution of water sources from erosion or will not cause irreparable damage
from erosion.
5. A proposed development shall have adequate transportation capacity and access to serve
the development including arterial, collector and local streets so as not to create a hazard
to public safety and general welfare, not aggravate an already hazardous condition and
that traffic volumes generated by the proposed development would not create
unreasonable congestion or unsafe conditions.
2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Land Use
______________________________________________________________________
City of Lakeville -71- Public Hearing Draft
6. A proposed development shall have necessary public service capacity, parks, trails and
recreational facilities, police protection, fire protection and other public facilities and
services.
MUSA Staging Plan
Future urban growth in Lakeville will be directly related to the supply of buildable land and utility
service availability. Sewer is a regional infrastructure regulated by the Metropolitan Council,
which is responsible for designation of Municipal Urban Service Areas (MUSA) to which service
may be provided. Consistent with its designation as a Suburban Edge community by Thrive MSP
2040 and anticipated growth forecasts, most of Lakeville is included within the 2040 MUSA.
The 1998 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan established MUSA staging areas as a means of managing
the rate and location of development while maintaining an adequate land supply. Staging of
MUSA expansion in Lakeville is intended to promote infill development of the existing MUSA and
MUSA expansion in a contiguous pattern of development to maximize utilization of in-place
utility and transportation infrastructure. The designated MUSA expansion areas generally follow
sewer district boundaries established by the Sanitary Sewer Plan. The MUSA Staging Plan map
has been reviewed as part of the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The 2040 MUSA Staging
Plan includes MUSA, MUSA Expansion Area A, MUSA Expansion Area B, Urban Reserve and Rural
Service Area designations described as follows:
▪ MUSA. The MUSA are areas where sanitary sewer (and water utilities) are currently
available to serve development guided by the 2040 Land Use Plan.
▪ MUSA Expansion Area A. Land within MUSA Expansion Area A were identified as
requiring extension of trunk sewer (or water) more than one-quarter mile as part of the
2010 MUSA Serviceability Study. These parcels are designated as MUSA Expansion Area
A to indicate that development as guided by the 2040 Land Use Plan will be allowed prior
to 2028 provided that the following criteria are met:
1. The proposed development is consistent with the 2040 Land Use Plan and
compatible with present and future land uses within the area as guided by the
2040 Land Use Plan.
2. Public sewer and water utilities are in place adjacent to the p roperty with
adequate downstream capacity to serve the proposed land use.
3. Development of the proposed land use will not unduly burden the City or adjacent
properties due to development related costs or long-term maintenance, such as
trunk oversizing and/or regional ponding credits, collector roadway financing, and
park development.
2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Land Use
______________________________________________________________________
City of Lakeville -72- Public Hearing Draft
4. Development of the property provides for or includes a public purpose such as
major street connections, regional stormwater basins or facilities, community
park and recreation facilities or other City needs.
▪ MUSA Expansion Area B. Land within MUSA Expansion Area B includes properties where
utility or transportation infrastructure is not expected to be a vailable before 2028 to
support land uses based on land absorption for estimated growth and anticipated
patterns of development. The City may revisit the timing for expanding the MUSA into
MUSA Expansion Area B if the rate of land absorption is greater th an forecasts artificially
constraining the amount of land available for development and funding is committed for
investments have been made in utility and transportation required to support the land
uses guided by the 2040 Land Use Plan. The timing and boundaries of any MUSA
expansion will require detailed engineering studies to determine the extent of
improvements required for extension of utilities and staging of construction Expansion
of the MUSA will occur only when such action is consistent with goa ls, policies and plans
of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and the Capital Improvement Plan.
▪ Agriculture Preserves. The Agriculture Preserves program is established by Minnesota
Statutes 473.H to provide a means to protect long-term agriculture operations within
the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area from encroachment by urban development by
limiting the City’s ability to zone, assess, value, or take property.
There are approximately 200 acres of land located east of Cedar Avenue where property
owners have voluntarily enrolled in the Agriculture Preserves program. An owner may
withdraw a property from the Agriculture Preserves program, but doing so requires an
eight-year waiting period before any change in land use can occur.
In accordance with Minnesota Statutes 473H.17, the allowed density of properties
enrolled in Agriculture Preserves shall be limited to 1 dwelling unit per 40 acres. As long
as the properties remain within the Agriculture Preserves program, the properties will
not be considered to be within the MUSA. Termination of the Agriculture Preserves
enrollment by the property owner will trigger the property being added to the MUSA
effective eight years from the date the enrollment was terminated. The 2040 Land Use
Plan will guide future development of these properties for development consistent with
the City’s planned land absorption and land use goals and policies.
▪ Urban Reserve. The Urban Reserve area is designated over that portion of Lakeville west
of I-35 south of 185th (CSAH 60) not included within the MUSA or MUSA Expansion Area.
This area was previously designated as a permanent rural area as a transition to
unincorporated areas to the west and south. Development within Lakeville by 2040 may
be reaching saturation creating pressure for urban development. Given the proximity of
the area to improved transportation and the ability to extend trunk sewer and water

City of Lakeville -73- Public Hearing Draft
utilities, designation of the Urban Reserve Area anticipates future development.
Decisions on land uses to be guided within the Urban Reserve will be deferred for future
comprehensive plan updates so that decisions about future land use will accurately reflect
community priorities and market considerations.
▪ Rural Service Area. The Rural Service Area is designated for the area of northwest
Lakeville that developed as Orchard Gardens with large lots and rural on-site septic
systems and well utilities. Input from residents of the area during this and prior
comprehensive planning processes have provided a strong indication that the existing
character of the area is to be preserved into the future. The City will only consider the
need to extend utilities into the area and allow for more intensive urban uses based on
environmental need.

The 2040 Land Use Plan illustrates the anticipated pattern of development that is to occur over
time. As an interim land use strategy, development will be restricted to rural uses within the
designated MUSA Expansion Areas, Urban Reserve, and Rural Service Area. The Zoning
Ordinance includes the RAO, Rural/Agricultural Overlay District to clearly define allowed uses in
areas of Lakeville outside of the MUSA. The uses allowed and lot requirements within the RAO
District are intended to avoid development that would result in future conflicts with MUSA
expansion and urban development guided by the 2040 Land Use Plan. Simultaneously, the RAO
District serves to limit the need for expansion of urban infrastructure or increased demands for
urban services in rural areas.

Existing Land Use
Existing land patterns in Lakeville are generally reflective of MUSA boundaries and
implementation of sewer staging plans over time. The primary urban land use in the community
is single family residential dwellings. Development of retail, service , and office commercial uses
and industrial businesses has increased in recent years following continued residential growth
that has expanded local market and employment potential. Maintaining balance between the
rate of residential growth needed to support the community’s economic development goals is
one of the primary objectives of Lakeville’s growth management policies. The City this decade
has also experienced increased demand for multiple family housing development consisting of
both senior housing and market rate dwellings this decade that has expanded housing options
within the community.

City of Lakeville -81- Public Hearing Draft
2040 Land Use
The 2040 Land Use Plan is both narrative text and a graphic illustration of anticipated land uses
to occur in Lakeville by 2040 in consideration of forecasted population, household, and
employment growth, the MUSA Staging Plan, and provision of necessary supporting
infrastructure and services. The 2040 Land Use Plan is intended to serve as a guide to residents,
business owners, property owners, and developers in planning for potential developments. City
officials will utilize the 2040 Land Use Plan in responding to development requests and evaluating
how they relate to the community’s vision for Lakeville. In the sections that follow, specific
categories of rural, residential, commercial, office, industrial, mixed uses, public and quasi-public
land uses, as well as areas of restricted development, are described and depicted graphically.
Land Use Concept
The 2040 Land Use Plan for Lakeville is based upon the following concepts:
▪ Focus on Community Identity. In order to enhance the identity of Lakeville, it is essential
that efforts continue towards establishing a sense of community. As the basic character
of Lakeville’s urban area is that of a residential community, individual neighborhoods
should be maintained as a fundamental basis for community identity. Each neighborhood
should have a cohesive identity and connection within the area focused on a landmark
such as a neighborhood park or open space, neighborhood commercial area or schoo ls
and churches, as well as maintaining connections to adjoining neighborhoods and the
entire City through compatible land use arrangements and convenient access to street s,
sidewalks, trails and greenways for transportation.
The City has developed a Community Corridor and Gateway Design Study, which is a study
of major transportation corridors and entry points into Lakeville. The focus of the study
is recommendations as to the desired visual character of primary corridors and gateways
in Lakeville to plan for their future development consistent with the community’s urban
design objectives. Implementation of the Community Corridor and Gateway Design Study
promotes the community’s identity by maintaining a positive aesthetic image along key
community corridors and entry points that will distinguish Lakeville from other
communities.
▪ Neighborhood Foundation. Ongoing residential development in Lakeville emphasizes
quality development and amenities required to insure a high standard of living. A first
step in creating desirable residential development is the establishment of a preferred
development format. Residential development in the form of curvilinear design is
preferred as this type of design increases privacy and safety within neighborhoods.
Curvilinear development patterns are based on a fundamental consideration for natural
and man-made barriers. These barriers organize neighborhoods and minimize through
2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Land Use
______________________________________________________________________
City of Lakeville -82- Public Hearing Draft
traffic. Overall neighborhood orientation is to be considered in terms of amenities and
services as a focus for neighborhood activity. To this end, park land and open spaces
within neighborhoods are often the primary focus.
In that Lakeville’s neighborhoods develop as units, interconnectivity between these
neighborhoods is critical to create a larger sense of community. Interconnected
neighborhoods are also critical for improved emergency and service access and
disbursement of neighborhood traffic to collector or arterial streets. Planning for the
community should recognize and attempt to enhance its activity centers. The commercial
centers and public service facilities within the City should remain easily accessible to all
residential neighborhoods and project a unified image and standard of quality. Individual
components should be so arranged as to create functional and complementary
relationships.
▪ Land Use Compatibility. The intensity of land uses should decrease as one moves away
from an activity center, which may be applied specifically to the segments of I-35 and
other arterial roadways in Lakeville. The high traffic volumes and visibility associated with
these roadways make or will make the areas adjacent to the corridors significant activity
generators and locations appropriate for commercial uses and higher density forms of
housing. Medium and high density land uses also allow a land use transition to take place
between the major transportation corridors or higher intensity commercial and industrial
uses and lower intensity residential uses that form the second tier of development .
Intensive buffering of residential uses from adjacent commercial and industrial uses can
also be accomplished through proper site design, building orientation, access locations,
screening and landscaping. The proximity of residential uses to major tran sportation
corridors must be developed without the need or expectation for public investment in
sound walls.
▪ Sustainability. Lakeville is committed to the implementation of best management
practices to promote sustainable development that considers social, economic, and
physical effects of land use. Planning for sustainable development provides for efficient
utilization of resources to minimize demand on public facilities and ensure rational service
delivery costs. Sustainability in terms of development in Lakeville is defined as meeting
the needs to existing and forecast populations in a manner that future generations
experience the same quality of life and levels of service within the community.

City of Lakeville -85- Public Hearing Draft
▪ Active Retail Service Centers. To promote vital, dynamic business districts within
Lakeville, commercial land uses are to be clustered in central locations within the
community accessible from major transportation corridors and individual neighborhoods.
These clusters of commercial developments are intended to provide for a full range of
retail, service and office businesses that will draw patrons from regional and local markets
through accumulative attraction and opportunities for business interchange. As a means
of in place market support for commercial activity, and providing alternative housing
types, medium and high density residential development should surround these pr imary
commercial service nodes. Requiring a high standard of building architecture, site design
and implementation of low impact development techniques within commercial areas is a
significant element of Lakeville’s desired community identity.
▪ Local Employment Opportunities and Tax Base. Through its past planning efforts,
Lakeville has had the foresight to recognize the I-35 corridor as an opportunity for the
location of future commercial or industrial uses that will serve as a focal point for
individual neighborhoods, contribute to a strong community tax base and create
employment opportunities. Opportunities for continued commercial and industrial
development, particularly of office and office-warehouse type uses continue to grow
given planned improvements to the existing interchanges at I-35 and CSAH 50 and at I-35
and CSAH 70.
▪ Crime Prevention. New development and redevelopment of existing properties will be
encouraged to incorporate the principles of Crime Prevention through Environmental
Design (CPTED). The City’s development requirements and the efforts of homeowners,
property owners and builders will utilize the following strategies to reduce crime
incidences and maintain the quality of life in Lakeville:
1. Natural Surveillance. A design concept directed primarily at keeping intruders
easily observable. Promoted by features that maximize visibility of people, parking
areas and building entrances: doors and windows that look out onto streets and
parking areas; pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and streets; front porches; adequate
nighttime lighting.
2. Territorial Reinforcement. Physical design can create or extend a sphere of
influence. Users then develop a sense of territorial control while potential
offenders, perceiving this control, are discouraged. Promoted by features that
define property lines and distinguish private spaces from public spaces using
landscape plantings, pavement designs, gateway treatments, and "CPTED" fences.
2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Land Use

City of Lakeville -86- Public Hearing Draft
3. Natural Access Control. A design concept directed primarily at decreasing crime
opportunity by denying access to crime targets and creating in offenders a
perception of risk. Gained by designing streets, sidewalks, building entrances and
neighborhood gateways to clearly indicate public routes and discouraging access
to private areas with structural elements.
4. Target Hardening. Accomplished by features that prohibit entry or access:
window locks, dead bolts for doors, interior door hinges.

Rural Land Use
Rural land uses are anticipated to continue in Lakeville as an interim use within the MUSA
Expansion areas Urban Reserve Area designated on the MUSA Staging Plan map to which sanitary
sewer utilities are not currently available. Rural uses include rural residential, agricultural uses
and existing scattered site commercial or industrial businesses. As an interim land use, only those
uses and development that will maintain rural character and not interfere with future urban
expansion will be allowed in designated rural areas and will not cause a premature need for
extension of utilities. The primary objectives of the community for rural areas are the
preservation of productive land for continued agricultural use and protection of open space or
environmentally sensitive areas from premature encroachment by urban development.
Active farming operations exist in the eastern and southern areas of Lakeville. Continuation of
these agricultural activities represents an important interim land use within the City. Agricultural
uses are allowed as permitted uses within the rural zoning districts included as part of the Zoning
Ordinance. As part of the 2002 Zoning Ordinance update, Lakeville adopted performance
standards applicable to contemporary feedlot operations regarding the housing of farm animals,
handling of manure and setbacks required from other land uses. Although new feedlot
operations are prohibited, these performance standards are intended to allow existing
agricultural uses the opportunity to remain viable until such time as urban expansion occurs.
Parcels enrolled in the Agriculture Preserve program in accordance with Minnesota Statutes
473.H are shown with an overlay designation on the 2040 Land Use Plan. This designation limits
development density of these parcels to 1 dwelling unit per 40 acres as required by the
Agriculture Preserves programs. The 2040 Land Use Plan also guides these parcels for future
urban development upon termination of the Agriculture Preserves program by the property
owner.

There is increased interest in local food source options being integral to a sustainable commun ity.
Rural areas of Lakeville provide opportunity for small scale local food producers that serve the
community and surrounding areas. The City has also created opportunity for development of
common gardens within the greenspace available on industrial sites to encourage local food
production.
Rural residential land uses are a unique housing opportunity within the community.
Development of additional rural residential uses will be allowed within the designated Urban
Reserve and Rural Service Area at a density of one dwelling unit per 10 acres provided that the
proposed lot has proper soils to accommodate both on site sewer and well systems in accordance
with the Zoning Ordinance and City Code. This type of rural subdivision will allow opportunities
for large lot and hobby farm uses.
There are scattered commercial and industrial uses within the rural service areas of Lakeville.
Some of these uses exist as legal non-conforming uses. These uses are regulated by the Zoning
Ordinance and are allowed to continue in the same size and manner as when originally
established, but these uses cannot be expanded. For existing commercial and industrial uses
located in the rural service areas that are properly zoned, the 2040 Land Use Plan will recognize
these as long term uses to be continued. Future expansion of existing uses or new development
of commercial and industrial uses in rural areas of Lakeville will be allowed conditionally under
the RAO District established by the Zoning Ordinance based on consistency of the proposed use
with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, compatibility with existing and planned land uses in the area
and impacts to public service infrastructure and services.
Sand and gravel deposits are recognized as an important regional resource to be utilized in
support of future urban development within the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. Gravel mine
operations are to be limited to designated MUSA Expansion Areas and the Urban Reserve on the
MUSA Staging Plan map so as not to interfere with planned urban growth. Proposals for new
gravel operations will be evaluated based on criteria related to consistency of the proposed use
with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, compatibility with existing and planned land uses in the area ,
and impacts to the natural environment, public infrastructure, and services. A plan for
reclamation of the gravel mines and future land use is also required for approval of a license
under the Excavation and Mining Ordinance of the City Code to ensure that the ultimate plan for
the parcel is consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.

Residential Land Use
Residential land uses are the predominate land use in the community consisting primarily of
single family dwellings and most housing units within Lakeville are owner occupied. Residential
development is guided to occur at a net density of three to five dwelling units per acre within the
MUSA. In developing the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan, it is anticipated that the
community’s residential land uses will change as the demographics of the region and Lakeville
evolve toward a more mature population. This will create more demand for alternatives to
traditional single family dwellings including detached townhomes, twin homes, townhomes, and
multiple -family uses. This change is evident in the building permits issued in 2017 for 315 new
apartments within three separate developments.

Life Cycle Housing
One of the community values defined by the Envision Lakeville visioning plan is to provide housing
for individuals and families at all stages of life. Lakeville recognizes that providing life-cycle
housing options requires a greater variety of housing choices within the community to serve the
life cycle needs of current and future residents. A goal of the community for the 2040 Land Use
Plan is to maintain single family neighborhoods as the focus of the community with clustered
nodes of alternative housing types and varied residential lot sizes to provide an appropriate range
of housing options. Specific emphasis is provided as to opportunities for senior oriented housing
and higher density housing at locations in proximity to planned retail and service business
locations. The City also allows secondary dwelling units within single family dwe llings.

An added component of Lakeville’s future housing needs relates to attainability. Availability of
housing options that are financially attainable to a range of people within the community is
important to meeting both life cycle housing goals to pro vide housing options for a diverse
population and economic development goals to ensure an adequate employment base to
support planned commercial, office, and industrial land uses. Financial attainability is defined
broadly based on individual and family circumstances. From a regional perspective, an owner-
occupied housing unit is considered to be affordable if it is valued at or below 30 percent of the
gross income of a household earning 60 percent of the median family income for the Twin Cities
Metropolitan Area. It is important the community recognize the Metropolitan Council’s
guidelines defining affordable housing is a threshold and that there are households within the
City for which the cost of such housing is not financially attainable.
The median housing value in Lakeville in 2016 is estimated by the US Census as $260,400 and the
median gross rent for non-owner occupied housing is $1,224 per month. During the last 10
years, 130 owner occupied housing units and 205 rental housing units have b een developed that
are attainable at 30 percent of the regional area median income. The map on the following page
maps housing values in Lakeville, showing that the most attainable housing in Lakeville is
concentrated in older areas of the City surrounding downtown and in north Lakeville. Promoting
continued maintenance of existing single family dwellings, townhouses, multiple family units ,
and manufactured housing aids in meeting Lakeville’s housing goals. The following tables further

Private sector affordable housing developments will also be encouraged recognizing the
limitations imposed by market factors and input from developers during the comprehensive plan
anticipating continued demand for single family dwellings as the primary form of new housing in
Lakeville.
▪ Designation of undeveloped land for Low-to-Medium, Medium, Medium-to-High, and
High Density Residential uses (guided at 5.0 dwelling units per acre or more) create
opportunity for construction of new attainable and life cycle housing option alternatives
to traditional single family dwellings.
▪ Promotion of workforce housing adjacent to planned commercial, office, and industrial
land uses to provide an employment base supporting Lakeville’s economic development
goals.
▪ The performance standards established by the Zoning Ordinance for medium and high
density residential dwellings include exemptions from minimum building construction,
landscaping, and open space standards make development of affordable housing more
financially feasible. The City will consider implementation of the recommendation of the
2016 multiple family residential development study to further encourage development of
attainable housing at higher densities.
▪ The option of establishing a PUD District also allows a mechanism for accommodating
development with increased density and/or regulatory flexibility that is shown to provide
life cycle housing options for persons of all ages consistent with community and regional
goals.
▪ Continued support for investment and maintenance of Lakeville’s existing housing supply.
Housing Maintenance
Maintenance of Lakeville’s existing housing units is increasing in importance as Lakeville
continues to mature after significant development started in the 1970s. Maintenance of existing
housing is also a key strategy for the community in terms of providing attainable housing options.
Older neighborhoods of moderately sized houses often tend to have more attainable values in
comparison to new construction. As a developing community, the median age of housing
structures in Lakeville is 1994 and more than half of all housing units in Lakeville have been built
since 1990.

Lakeville participates and supports through the allocation of City Community Development Block
Grants Funds the Home Rehabilitation Loan Program administered by the Dakota County CDA.
This program provides deferred loans to low and moderate income homeowners to complete
necessary home improvements. Lakeville may also utilize programs such as a housing
improvement fair to provide educational opportunities and information regarding financial
assistance for housing maintenance to residents. Lakeville may also consider future efforts to
survey housing conditions in various neighborhoods of the community to evaluate if
deterioration is occurring on an area-wide basis and if additional action is required.
Growth Management in Housing
Issues related to past residential development were the impetus for the Strategic Growth
Management Plan adopted in 1995. The Strategic Growth Management Plan address issues
pertaining to the rate of urban development and potential impacts to City services and finances,
the need to integrate residential development with Lakeville’s natural resources, compatibility
issues where residential uses abut major transportation corridors, non -residential land uses or
undeveloped parcels guided for more intense land uses and the need to diversify the housing
stock in the community to address affordability and life-cycle housing needs. New residential
development is required to be integrated with existing adjoining subdivisions through subdivision
design, street connections, park facilities, etc. To ensure an orderly, contiguous urban
development pattern, new subdivisions must extend utilities and streets to the boundaries of
their plat to accommodate future extension to adjoining vacant properties. Additional strategies
implemented to respond to these issues are outlined under the growth management sections of
the 2008 Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Land Use
______________________________________________________________________
City of Lakeville -97- Public Hearing Draft
Environmental Resources Protection in Housing
Another priority of Lakeville is environmental protection and integration of new development
with natural resources. Lakeville requires applications for new residential subdivisions to include
information on natural resources including wetland delineation, existing tree cover and natural
vegetation, slope areas, and soil tests to allow an accurate evaluation of subdivision design.
Lakeville will continue to implement its current development regulations relating to buildable lot
size exclusive of wetlands or floodplain areas and application of Shoreland Overlay District, tree
preservation and erosion control standards.
Residential Compatibility
To ensure land use compatibility between different types of residential uses or residential uses
and other land use types, the 2040 Land Use Plan will provide for graduated land use categories
offering the community the opportunity to establish transitional land use patterns that will serve
to mitigate compatibility concerns. Lakeville will also promote mitigation of land use
compatibility issues through subdivision and site design. Lakeville will continue to define
regulations through the Zoning Ordinance relating to lot area and width, setbacks, building
orientation, screening, buffer yards, building height and materials, noise mitigation, lighting and
site access to provide for
compatibility between adjoining land uses.
2040 Residential Land Use
Consistent with regional directives, residential land use within the community is to have a mean
net density of three to five dwelling units per acre over all of Lakeville through designation of the
following residential land use categories.

City of Lakeville -98- Public Hearing Draft
The Low Density Residential land use category will be the primary form of residential land use in
Lakeville. Areas of Lakeville between major commercial and industrial nodes and along major
transportation corridors are to be guided for low and low-to-medium density residential uses to
reinforce the desired emphasis on lower density housing types as the foundation of the
community.
Allowed uses are limited to single family residential dwellings with a development density of less
than three dwelling units per acre. The Zoning Ordinance establishes various single family zoning
districts to provide for a range of lot requirements to encourage a diversity of single family
housing options within the community. These zoning districts provide opportunities to fit the
development requirements to the character of the area being subdivided. Large lot single family
zoning districts are to be applied to areas within significant natural features such as rolling
topography, existing significant tree cover or wetlands. Lot requirements that allow for a smaller
minimum lot area and setbacks may be considered in areas that are relatively flat and lack
existing natural features to provide for a more efficient subdivision design and achievement of
community housing goals.
It is anticipated that continued growth in Lakeville through 20 40 will reflect aging of the local,
regional and national population, thus affecting land use planning. To this end, Lakeville has
guided areas for development of low-to-medium, medium, medium-to-high and high density
residential uses to encourage development of detached townhomes, twin homes, traditional
townhouses, back-to-back townhouses and multiple family housing units to complement
traditional single family homes. These land uses have been designated throughout the
community to avoid a concentration of higher density housing types at a single location or in a
continuous corridor between major activity nodes consistent with the desired community
development concept.
The primary factor in locating medium and high density residential land uses is proximity to
Lakeville’s commercial centers to provide convenient access and market support to retail goods
and service businesses. Medium and high density residential housing is also guided in close
proximity to industrial areas to promote workforce housing opportun ities. These locations also
take advantage of planned transportation capacity to reduce impacts from traffic generated by
medium and high density residential developments. The medium and high density residential
housing to be developed near major commercial and industrial areas should promote integration
between the two uses through site design, pedestrian, bicycle and vehicle access and circulation,
landscaping and screening to mitigate potential compatibility issues.
Medium and high density residential land uses have also been guided from an urban design
perspective to provide for desired transitions between low density residential neighborhoods
and more intense commercial and industrial areas or major collector or arterial roadways. Use
of medium and high density residential development as a land use transition to low density
residential neighborhoods utilizes development standards incorporated as part of the Zoning

Ordinance addressing lot requirements, setbacks, landscaping, buffering and density transitions
that will guide site design consistent with the community’s objectives.
The performance standards established by the Zoning Ordinance for medium and high density
residential uses also ensures long term sustainability of these housing unit s by requiring use of
durable low maintenance exterior building materials, establishment of homeowners associations
for long term administration and oversight of the development and provision of minimum design
elements for open space, landscaping, guest parking, driveways and access, adequate garage
area for both vehicle parking and storage needs and resident safety in the form of an internal
storm shelter for housing units without basements. The consistent application of these
requirements through the Zoning Ordinance is considered to provide for high quality medium
and high density housing options that are a viable life cycle housing alternative to single family
dwellings and will be a significant component of Lakeville’s housing into the future.
The City Council initiated a study of possible actions that could be taken within the City’s land
use controls to address increasing demand for multiple family development. This effort is
being coincided with the Economic Development Commission’s 2017-2019 Strategic Plan for
Economic Development that identified high density housing as a strategic priority. Likewise, a
key initiative of Envision Lakeville is consideration of ordinance amendments for expanding
housing choice. Recommendations of the study included possible amendments of performance
standards related to minimum lot area, minimum dwelling unit area, building height, off -street
parking requirements, and allowance of high density housing within specifically identified
commercial nodes, particularly those close to major transportation corridors that may include
future transit service. Implementation of the study is to proceed on a project -by-project basis
utilizing PUD, Planned Unit Development District zoning to evaluate real -world implications of
possible flexibility to established performance standards. Broader application of performance
standards to allow more dense multiple family uses will be evaluated as part of the Zoning
Ordinance update to follow adoption of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
There are five manufactured home parks in different areas of Lakeville. Manufactured housing
is an important component of the community’s housing supply with respect to affordability. The
Zoning Ordinance was updated in 1994 and 2000 to address regulat ions for the various
developments in relation to State Building Code definitions and nomenclature, design standards
regarding individual lot size and structure setbacks to allow for larger house styles, establishment
of accessory building, outdoor storage and fence regulations and design standards for utility
connections, internal driveway design, guest parking, and landscaping. Manufactured housing is
also allowed as a conditional use within residential zoning districts allowing multiple family
dwelling units as required by State Statute subject to specific minimum lot requirements and
setbacks.

expansion of North Creek and continued operation of Ardmor and Country View manufactured
home parks is guided by the 2040 Land Use Plan to continue and will be regulated by the RSMH
District.
The Queen Anne and Connelly manufactured home parks located along the I-35 corridor exist as
legal non-conforming land uses with regard to both use and design. The location of these two
manufactured home parks within one of Lakeville’s primary commercial nodes at I-35 and CSAH
50 creates potential land use compatibility issues, while the individual layouts of each site create
public health safety concerns with regards to emergency access. The 2040 Land Use Plan
continues to guide both the Queen Anne and Connelly parks for future redevelopment as office
park and commercial land uses respectively. Consideration may be given to redevelopment of
these sites with mixed use developments, particularly Connelly Mob ile Home Park, which is
adjacent to the MetroTransit I-35 park and ride facility. As non-conforming uses, these
manufactured home parks can continue to exist at the same size as they exist today, but no
expansion will be permitted. Furthermore, a proposal to redevelop the Queen Anne or Connelly
mobile home parks in the future with uses consistent with the 2040 Land Use Plan would be

Commercial Land Use
The 2040 Land Use Plan identifies areas of Lakeville for development of a wide range of
commercial land uses, including retail, service, and office businesses. The emphasis for
commercial development in Lakeville is for development of larger commercial areas at locations
with community wide access and visibility that contribute to the strategic priority set forth by
Envision Lakeville to attract a broad mix of retail, office, and service businesses to meet the daily
needs of the community. Commercial locations in Lakeville are to provide for highly integrated,
attractive nodes with a mix of business activities that promotes accumulative market attraction
and business interchange. Office uses should be integrated within commercial areas as a related,
supporting land use that provides critical day-time market support for businesses. Specific areas
of Lakeville designated on the 2040 Land Use Map for commercial uses may be described in the
Planning District section of this chapter to have of a neighborhood orientation or promote a
destination opportunity. Envision Lakeville further calls for assessment of existing commercial
areas to evaluate the site design and improve access from residential areas. Lakeville will utilize
the various commercial zoning districts established by the Zoning Ordinance to define the range
of business activity appropriate for each commercial location based upon the land uses
designated on the 2040 Land Use Plan defined as follows.
City of Lakeville
2040 Land Use Plan – Commercial Designations
Land Use Anticipated Uses
Office/Residential Transition Neighborhood oriented retail or service businesses, low
intensity offices, and conditional allowance of
townhouse, multiple family, or senior residential uses.
Commercial General retail, service, or office business with community
or regional market areas.
Office Park Professional office uses with limited retail sales, services
and warehousing uses.
Retail Commercial
Lakeville will promote attractive and functional commercial areas by implementing consistent
design standards as part of its Zoning Ordinance related to durable, low maintenance building
materials, site landscaping and streetscape treatments (including implementation of the
Community Corridor and Gateway Design Study), provision of adequate street access and off -
street parking, regulation of signage and exterior lighting. All commercial developments are to
emphasize internal and external pedestrian or non-vehicular accessibility, shared parking
opportunities, and provision of green spaces for an environment attractive to patrons. Where

appropriate transitions between the two uses to mitigate potential compatibility issues.
Development of commercial areas must also be sensitive to the natural environment by
minimizing impervious surfaces, managing stormwater appropriately, and providing green space
and landscaping. With fundamental changes in retail businesses occurring, new development
must also provide consideration for future repurposing as stated by Envision Lakeville.
Office/Residential Transition
Office/Residential Transition land uses have been designated in limited areas on the 20 40 Land
Use Plan. The purpose of this land use designation is to provide for an orderly transition to
residential uses adjacent commercial development nodes or major transportation corridors that
allows for intermixing of townhouse, multiple family and senior housing and commercial uses.
Within this land use category, there is also opportunity for limited provision of retail goods and
services for businesses dealing directly with its customers on a neighborhood scale. Definition of
a limited range of commercial uses and implementation of performance standar ds established
by the Zoning Ordinance regarding building and site design, landscaping, screening of parking
and loading areas, regulations on signs and exterior lighting are of primary importance to
integrate these commercial locations with surrounding residential uses and provide for the
transitional character desired of development in these areas. Residential dwellings allowed
within this land use category are assumed to be 25 percent of the guided land areas and
development intensity and standards reflect those established for high density residential land
uses.
Office Park
The Office Park land use category is intended to establish locations within Lakeville for
professional office complexes, corporate office buildings, conference centers , and research and
development facilities in an environment with high aesthetic qualities and amenities. Retail sales
and services, warehousing, and manufacturing uses are also to be allowed on a limited scale. The
Fairfield Business Campus is an example of this lan d use having an attractive working
environment by integrating a high-quality site design with a natural setting. The performance
standards to be required for the Office Park land use category will be guided by the following
recommendations:
▪ Development is to be integrated with the natural conditions of a site to preserve slopes,
trees, wetlands.
▪ Site designs will limit building coverage and impervious surface to promote green space
and include high amenity landscaping. Screening and buffer yards will be required where
the Office Park use abuts residential areas.

City of Lakeville -103- Public Hearing Draft
▪ All buildings are to be professionally designed to display a high degree of aesthetic quality
utilizing only face brick, aggregate, stone or other masonry exterior materials or those of
comparable quality.
▪ Access to office park uses is to accommodate all modes of vehicular, bicycle and
pedestrian transportation with allowed semi-truck traffic segregated from other forms.
▪ Office park land uses may include limited retail sales and service uses that will be
complementary to the primarily office environment.
▪ Warehousing will be allowed to the extent that it is accessory to a primary business
function and does not impact the surrounding area in terms of truck traffic generation or
noise from loading areas.
Establishment of Office Park locations as a long-term development near the I-35/CSAH 70
interchange allows access to regional transportation corridors for future office park uses .
Daytime employment within Lakeville is critical for market support of existing and planned
commercial areas as the Metropolitan Council estimates that Office Park uses create
approximately twice as many employees as Light Industrial or Industrial per 1,000 square feet of
building area. Office park users also support the City’s economic development goals as a prior
Community and Economic Development Department analysis comparing development in
Fairfield Business Campus and Airlake Industrial Park indicates that the office park uses have an
estimated market value per square foot three times greater than an Industrial use. Envision
Lakeville included attraction of businesses that can provide higher skill, higher wage, head of
household jobs as a key initiative.
Industrial Land Use
Lakeville has been successful in the development of industrial uses in Airlake Industrial Park and
areas extending west of Airlake Industrial Park during this decade. The 2040 Comprehensive
Land Use Plan continues the economic development policies for promoting development of
industrial land uses to retain and expand existing industrial businesses and attract new industrial
development to increase employment opportunities in the community and expand the local tax
base. Continued industrial development is critical to the strategic priority established by Envision
Lakeville to increase economic sustainability by securing new development and expansion and
redevelopment of existing development sites. The 2040 Land Use Plan identifies the following
industrial land use categories.

Industrial Professional offices, distribution facilities, warehousing,
assembly and manufacture of goods.
General Industrial land use includes a full range of industrial businesses, which because of the
character of its operation and/or product, requires isolation from less intense land uses.
Warehousing/Light Industrial land uses are designated to be oriented towards office, warehouse,
and assembly of manufactured goods. Light Industrial uses can compatibly exist adjacent to
office park, commercial, and general industrial land uses. Lakeville will review and update as
appropriate its industrial development standards established by the Zoning Ordinance in order
to continue construction of new businesses within the City. Where industrial land uses are
adjacent to residential neighborhoods, the City will address potential compatibility issues
through property site planning including setbacks, buffer yards, landscaping and screening. The
industrial economy is also experiencing fundamental change. In order to provide for sustainable
development, consideration must be given during the planning and development process to
potential repurposing of industrial uses for future uses.
Cedar Corridor
A special planning area is designated for the Cedar Avenue corridor on the 2040 Land Use Plan.
This area is designated to ensure coordination between the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan
and planning for the Red Line Bus Rapid Transit Corridor (BRT) along Cedar Avenue by Dakota
County and Metropolitan Council. The land use plan within the Cedar Avenue corri dor includes
Lakeville commitments to transit oriented development forms and densities. The household and
population projections for Lakeville anticipate that forecasted growth occurring between 20 20
and 2030 can be accommodated within the existing MUSA and MUSA Expansion Area A. After
2030, new development would need to expand into MUSA Expansion Area B, which includes the
central portion of the Cedar Avenue corridor, to meet projected household and population
numbers. Deferring development of the central portion of the Cedar Avenue corridor until at
least 2028 will allow completion of the transit plan and securing sources of funding for needed
for BRT improvements that the 2040 Land Use Plan must relate to. Depending on completion of
the Dakota County BRT plan, identification and securing of funding, and construction timelines,
Lakeville may revisit the staging of urban services and allowing development within the portion
the Cedar Corridor designated as MUSA Expansion Area B as a comprehensive plan amendment
prior to the 2028 Comprehensive Plan. The following parameters are established relative to
future development of the Cedar Corridor in relation to the current comprehensive planning
process and Dakota County BRT plan:

▪ The City of Lakeville will guide development of a range of residential and commercial
retail, service, office, and public uses along the Cedar Avenue corridor within the Cedar
Corridor, to be determined in coordination with the City of Farmington as part of a
comprehensive Cedar Avenue Corridor/Northwest Farmington study.
▪ The City will encourage development appropriate land use patterns adjacent to
designated BRT stations within the corridor integrating residential, retail, service, office
and public uses in coordination and support of planned transit facilities. The Avonlea
development east of Cedar Avenue includes multiple family residential, townhouses, and
small lot single-family uses surrounding the existing Metropolitan Council park and ride
facility.
▪ The 2040 Land Use Plan establishes a new Corridor Mixed Use (CMU) designation. The
CMU land use category is to allow for development of high density residential dwellings
with a base density allowance of 26 to 45 dwelling units per acre and commercial retail,
service, and office uses in standalone or mixed use buildings. The form of development
within areas guided for CMU uses should be compact, oriented towards the streetscape
and providing for non-vehicular access and circulation. Higher residential densities may
be possible after the City studies this type of development in the formulation of a
corresponding zoning district required to implement the land use plan. This land use is
specific to the Cedar Avenue corridor, but corridor mixed-use development may be
expanded in the future to other areas of the City adjacent to existing or planned transit
facilities. It is estimated that residential uses will comprise up between 25 to 40 percent
of the areas guided for CMU land use.
▪ Residential uses within the Cedar Avenue corridor will be promoted for development
having an average residential density of at least 8.0 dwelling units per net acre.
▪ There are 249 acres of property within the Cedar Avenue corridor enrolled in the
Agriculture Preserves program. Of this area, parcels co mprising 172.2 acres are to be
removed from the Agriculture Preserves program in 2020 and eligible for development.
The remaining 76.8 acres will continue to be restricted to agricultural uses.

TOTAL 1,292.4 6,392 – 6,811 9,044 – 10,115
Public and Quasi-Public Land Uses
The Public and Quasi-Public land use category includes the various facilities ancillary to an urban
community including City and other government buildings, schools, churches, and utility sites.
Public and Quasi-Public land uses are to reflect the highest level of quality site and building design
and will incorporate sustainable, energy efficient building designs, and low impact development
techniques where feasible, as an example for the private sector to follow. Furthermore,
development of consistent architectural themes and use of consistent building materials or other
design elements that provide site character is encouraged to strengthen overall community
identity. In locations where public and quasi public uses abut residential land uses, Lakeville will
require that site design, building orientation, access locations, setbacks, landscaping , and
screening provide for a necessary buffer and transition to mitigate potential compatibility issues.
There will be a need for additional public and quasi-public land uses as the community continues
to develop to serve the growing population. While the need for these types of uses is recognized,
it is not practical at this time to identify sites where future public and quasi-public uses may be
appropriate. Public and quasi-public facilities other than those of the City of Lakeville will be
allowed as conditional uses in appropriate zoning districts. This approach will allow Lakeville to
establish performance standards specific to a given use to ensure development at appropriate
locations in a manner compatible with surrounding uses.
Schools

City of Lakeville -107- Public Hearing Draft
The growth of the community affects the school districts serving Lakeville residents. During the
Envision Lakeville strategic planning process and input during the issues identification phase of
this comprehensive plan process, the schools in Lakeville were identified as a major factor in the
community’s appeal and quality of life. To this end, Lakeville will continue to work cooperatively
to address shared growth issues. This includes continuation of Lakeville’s growth management
policies to allow the School Districts to anticipate the rate of development and plan for necessary
facilities accordingly. As the need for new school facilities is identified, Lakeville will work with
each of the school districts to locate appropriate sites and coordinate the timing of development
so that needed infrastructure is available in a cost-effective manner. For the benefit of Lakeville
and the School Districts, the City will continue to pursue opportunities for shared facilities. This
opportunity presents itself most readily in the acquisition, development and maintenance of
recreational facilities used both as part of the Lakeville parks, trails and open space system and
school athletic programs.
Airlake Airport
Airlake Airport in southern Lakeville is designated as a reliever airport by the Metropolitan
Airports Commission. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan for Airlake Airport lists a number of
improvements at the facility, including runway expansion to allow Airlake Airport to be used by
a full range of personal aircraft and small corporate jets. Metropolitan Council is also proposing
that sanitary sewer service be provided to all airport facilities. Lakeville’s policy is that sanitary
sewer and water utilities are only to be provided to parcels within the City’s boundaries.
Annexation of an additional 118 acres was completed in 2018 to incorporate all of the Airlake
Airport property within the City.
Lakeville must be an active participant in the on-going planning for Airlake Airport to ensure that
continued operations are consistent with local goals. The area immediately surrounding Airlake
Airport is guided for industrial uses to mitigate any noise or operations issues for development
in proximity to the airport and provide for a transition to less intense commercial and residential
uses. Airlake Airport is considered to be an amenity to the community benefiting economic
development of existing and planned commercial and industrial areas.
Parks and Open Space
Parks and open space are an amenity to the community that contributes positively to the quality
of life and character of Lakeville. The Parks and Open Space land uses designated on the 20 40
Land Use Plan correspond to the existing areas developed in accordance with the 20 15 Parks,
Trails, and Open Space Plan. The 2015 Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan sets forth a vision of a
fully developed parks and trails system to meet current and future needs of Lakeville.
Implementation of the 2015 Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan will result in additional land being
acquired by the City and designated for parks and open space land use than shown on the 2040
Land Use Plan.

City of Lakeville -108- Public Hearing Draft
Restricted Development
The Restricted land use category includes parcels of land for which development of urban uses is
limited. These scattered sites include land that is primarily publicly owned encompassing
stormwater basins, protected wetlands or shoreland areas, steep slopes, public easements , or
permanent open space. The Crystal Lake Country Club and Bracketts Crossing Country Club golf
courses are also designated as Restricted land uses as these developments were approved as
Planned Unit Developments that clustered allowed residential density around the playing course
and utilized all allowed development rights.
Historic Preservation Sites
Preservation of historic sites in Lakeville is accomplished through public and private means.
Historic preservation aids significantly in supporting a community’s identity and is to be
encouraged whenever feasible.
The Lakeville Area Historical Society is a quasi-public organization active in the preservation of
Lakeville’s history and preservation of potentially significant historical sites. The All Saints Church
within the Central Business District was rehabilitated for use as the Lakeville Area Art Center as
part of the City’s parks and recreation system. Likewise, the City of Lakeville Parks and Recreation
Department has acquired the Ritter Farm property on the south side of Lake Marion west of I-35
and developed the property as a community park facility incorporating passive and active
recreational opportunities and educational programming. Renovation of the historic dairy barn

at the Spirit of Brandtjen Farm development as a private neighborhood center is an exa mple of
private efforts to preserve significant places within the community to protect its heritage.
Lakeville will continue to work with the Lakeville Area Historical Society to identify and preserve
potentially significant historical sites through both public action and in coordination with private
development. Envision Lakeville calls for reviewing options to acquire uniquely Lakeville
locations as part of the parks system to contribute to community identity. The City may aid in
this process by helping to identify potentially significant historical sites within the community,
providing information resources for property owners and developers interested in historic
preservation, and communicating information about Lakeville’s history and historic place s to
residents and businesses, as well as well as providing financial resources.

Neighborhood Planning Districts
The 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan consists of several interrelated plans addressing the
natural environment, land use, housing, transportation, community utilities and services, and
parks, trails and open space. Lakeville has been divided into seven neighborhood planning
districts in order to provide a summary of these connected plans as well as allow for a detailed
examination of specific areas of the community. The boundar ies of the neighborhood planning
districts are based on existing land use patterns, MUSA boundaries, and physical barriers.
District 1 – I-35/Kenwood Trail/Orchard Lake
This district is located in the northwest corner of the City and contains a variety of land uses. Low
density residential land uses are predominant west of I-35 with commercial land uses along I-35
at the CSAH 46, CSAH 50, and northeast quadrant of CSAH 60. The northwest corner of the
District includes rural residential development that occurred prior to Lakeville’s incorporation.
The historic development pattern has been fragmented resulting in isolated residential
neighborhoods, linear commercial uses, and incomplete street networks. In looking to the
future, the City’s major land use issues will be integrating future development with the existing
land uses in a compatible land use pattern and addressing area transportation needs.
The 2040 Land Use Plan for District 1 promotes maintenance of existing neighborhoods and
integration of future infill development. The 2040 Land Use Plan also proposes a transitional land
use pattern with the most intense commercial and office park/business campus land use along
the I-35 corridor and graduated reduction in residential densities moving away from the freeway.
The 2040 Land Use Plan and following recommendations outline the planning objectives for
District 1.
▪ District 1 is characterized by rolling topography, wetlands, and significant tree cover. Any
development within District 1 must be integrated with the area’s natural features to
preserve existing trees, existing steep slopes, wetlands and shoreline areas through
subdivision and site design measures.
▪ District 1 contains three lakes. Efforts to insure the highest possible water qual ity of the
lakes will be pursued through implementation of Best Management Practices and low
impact development strategies.
▪ The City of Lakeville will coordinate water resource management and floodplain
protection efforts for Horseshoe Lake with the City of Burnsville.

City of Lakeville -117- Public Hearing Draft
▪ Lakeville will not expand MUSA to the Rural Service Area, although connection of
individual developed parcels to sanitary sewer service may be considered if no feasible
alternative exists for on-site treatment.
▪ Existing rural residential and hobby farm uses located within the Rural Service Area are to
be protected from encroachment by urban development with new rural development
allowed at a one unit per ten acres density.
▪ Undeveloped legal lots of record will be allowed to develop with rural residential land use
provided they have adequate lot size to accommodate on -site sewer systems in
compliance with the Lakeville’s on-site sewer system standards and meet setback
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
▪ Future low density residential development in District 1 represents infill development and
expansion of existing single family neighborhoods. New development must be integrated
with to existing neighborhoods for continuity of the land use pattern and connected
streets for traffic disbursement and emergency vehicle access.
▪ Development of medium density residential uses is guided for redevelopment of existing
single family properties on the north side of 175th Street east of Kenwood Trail (CSAH 50)
as a transition between the commercial node of development and single family
neighborhoods to the east.
▪ The parcel north of TimberCrest at Lakeville is to be developed with medium-to-high
density residential uses integrated with the significant wetlands within the area.
Environmentally sensitive areas along the east portion of the parcel are to be protected
from development though dedication or establishment of a conservation easement to the
City.
▪ Continued commercial development will be pursued around th e I-35 interchanges
consistent with the following guidelines:
o All new development will be held to the performance guidelines for streetscape,
site design, landscaping, lighting and signage as outlined in the Community
Corridor and Gateway Design/Landscape Study.
o Commercial land uses adjoining residential property shall mitigate land use
compatibility concerns through proper site planning techniques including building
orientation, setbacks, establishment of buffer yards, installation of landscaping,
controlled lighting, and building architecture.

City of Lakeville -118- Public Hearing Draft
o Lakeville shall encourage redevelopment and site assembly of commercial sites
that are non-conforming or substandard as a means of creating lots of sufficient
size to accommodate contemporary commercial uses and more functional
commercial patterns.
o Connelly Manufactured Home Park exists as a non-conforming use and the 2040
Land Use Plan anticipates its future redevelopment for commercial uses.
Consideration may also be given to redevelopment of the property as high density
residential or mixed use development based on proximity to the MetroTransit I -
35 Park and Ride facility.
▪ Continued commercial development of TimberCrest at Lakeville is to be encouraged at
the northeast quadrant of I-35/CSAH 60.
▪ Queen Anne Manufactured Home Park is planned for future redevelopment as an Office
Park land use based on proximity and access to I-35 at CSAH 50.
▪ In relation to the 2040 Land Use Plan, the following street improvements will be pursued
within District 1:
o Lakeville shall monitor traffic volumes, congestion and safety issues at the I-
35/CSAH 50 interchange in planning for construction of the ultimate design
improvements.
o Kenrick Avenue will be extended westward to connect to the current terminus of
the street at the north side of TimberCrest at Lakeville as a minor arterial roadway.
o Keokuk Avenue will be extended northward to connect with 172nd Street as major
collector street.
▪ The following park and trail system improvements are recommended within District 1:
o Lakeville shall monitor the status of the CP Rail right-of-way as a potential regional
greenway corridor.
o Lakeville will encourage connection to the regional Murphy-Hanrehan Park with
trail access along Judicial Road.
o A conservation area shall be acquired with development of the land north of The
Oaks of Lakevilla and south of 172nd Street, west of Queen Anne Mobile Home
Park.

2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Land Use
______________________________________________________________________
City of Lakeville -121- Public Hearing Draft
District 2 – North Lakeville
District 2 is located in north central Lakeville east of the I-35 corridor and west of Cedar Avenue
(CSAH 23) between 160th Street (CSAH 46) and Dodd Boulevard (CSAH 9)/185th Street (CSAH 60).
The district is almost fully developed with only scattered undeveloped parcels remaining. The
2040 Land Use Plan guides these undeveloped parcels consistent with existing land use patterns.
Furthermore, the 2040 Land Use Plan attempts to maintain and enhance the residential character
of the area with opportunities considered for the future development of vacant land. The 20 40
Land Use Plan and following recommendations outline the long-range plans for District 2.
▪ The North Creek greenway corridor will be preserved and enhanced through proper
management and the regulation of adjoining land use development.
▪ The City of Lakeville will coordinate water resource management and floodplain
protection efforts for Crystal Lake with the City of Burnsville.
▪ Lakeville will monitor housing and site conditions to ensure that the current high quality
residential character within District 2 is maintained.
▪ Lakeville will promote infill development of low density residential lots and the
resubdivision of the larger unsewered lots north of 185th Street when utilities become
available.
▪ New residential subdivisions must be coordinated with adjoining neighborhoods to
provide proper street and sidewalk connections and consistent development patterns.
▪ Opportunities for medium density and high density senior oriented housing development
will be encouraged near the intersection of CSAH 46 and Ipava Avenue in an effort to
diversify the community’s housing stock and provide market support for existing
businesses.
▪ Commercial expansions shall be limited to designated commercial uses identified on the
2040 Land Use Plan. Increased setbacks, building orientation, landscaping, and screening
will be required of neighborhood commercial sites adjacent to residential neighborhoods.
▪ There are five ISD 194 facilities within District 2. The City will coordinate with the school
district on continued use and potential alternative uses for these facilities and community
demographics changes over time.
▪ Streetscapes along major roadways within District 2 will be developed consistent with the
guidelines and recommendations of the Community Corridor and Gateway Design/
Landscape Study.
2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Land Use
______________________________________________________________________
City of Lakeville -122- Public Hearing Draft
▪ A hierarchy of streets to improve traffic circulation through District 2 will be implemented
with the following street improvements recommended:
o 185th Street (CSAH 60) is proposed to be improved to an east-west minor arterial
street from Kenwood Trail to Dodd Boulevard (CSAH 9).
o Ipava Avenue between 163rd Street and 175th Street is proposed to be improved
as a north-south minor arterial street.
o Ixonia Avenue will be connected north to 180th Street when existing rural single
family lots are resubdivided for urban uses.
▪ Consideration will be given to development of a neighborhood park on a portion of the
water tower site at Jacquard Path north of 185th Street.

2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Land Use
______________________________________________________________________
City of Lakeville -125- Public Hearing Draft
District 3 – Northeast Lakeville
District 3 is located in northeast Lakeville east of Cedar Avenue. This district consists primarily of
low density residential land uses as well as commercial sites along 160th Street (CSAH 46) at Cedar
Avenue (CSAH 23) and Pilot Knob Road (CSAH 31). District 3 in the future will include build out
of the Spirt of Brandtjen Farm development and continued new development south of 170th
Street and east of Pilot Knob Road. The 2040 Land Use Plan attempts to maintain existing
neighborhoods and encourage compatible land use patte rns. The following recommendations
summarize the long-range planning objectives for District 3.
▪ MUSA is to be extended to areas of District 3 designated as MUSA Expansion Area A in
accordance with the criteria established by the 2040 Land Use Plan.
▪ The City will monitor housing and site conditions to ensure that the current high quality
residential character of existing neighborhoods within District 3 is maintained.
▪ Infill of new low density residential subdivisions must be coordinated with adjoining
neighborhoods to provide proper street connections and consistent land use patterns.
▪ The Spirit of Brandtjen Farm is to be developed in accordance with the PUD District and
PUD Land Use Plan approved by the City Council on June 20, 2005.
▪ Continued development of the North Creek Manufactured Home Park is to occur in a
manner consistent with the performance standards established by the Zoning Ordinance.
▪ Low-to-medium and medium density residential land uses have been proposed in close
proximity to existing townhouse uses at Pilot Knob Road (CSAH 31) and 173rd Street as a
means of diversifying the City’s housing stock in consideration of high water tables in the
area.
▪ Lakeville will support the redevelopment of the commercial properties located at the
southeast quadrant of Cedar Avenue (CSAH 23) and 160th Street (CSAH 46) intersection,
including options for including high density residential uses necessary to improve the
vitality of this commercial area and to establish workable site access.
▪ Lakeville will work with Dakota County on future roadway improvements and
implementation of access spacing guidelines along Pilot Knob Road consistent with the
CSAH 31 Corridor Transportation Study to ensure adequate access to planned residential
neighborhoods, commercial developments and East Community Park.
2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Land Use
______________________________________________________________________
City of Lakeville -129- Public Hearing Draft

plan.

proper management and regulation of adjoining land use development.
o Land for a neighborhood park shall be acquired as part of the subdivision process
and developed to serve the area east of Pilot Knob Road (CSAH 31) and south of
170th Street.

CITY OF LAKEVILLE
District 3
Source: City of Lakeville
Date: 12/31/2018
2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Land Use
______________________________________________________________________
City of Lakeville -133- Public Hearing Draft
District 4 – Central Lakeville
District 4 is located in the central portion of Lakeville east of I-35, south of 185th Street, west of
Hamburg Avenue, and north of CSAH 70. Downtown Lakeville, Lake Marion, Heritage Commons,
Lakeville South High School and Kenwood Trail Middle School, and extensive community parks
and green way corridors are predominant features of District 4. Low density residential
neighborhoods are complemented by townhouse dwellings in various configurations throughout
the area. Consistent with the existing land use patterns, the 2040 Land Use Plan
recommendations propose to maintain and enhance the existing residential character of this
district.
Two planning studies have also defined the future land uses within District 4. The Heritage
Commons study prepared in 1996 defines the commercial land use objectives for the area at
CSAH 50 and Dodd Boulevard. The Central Area Plan adopted in 1998 addresses residential land
use and preservation of natural areas as Greenway Corridors throughout District 4. These detail
plans will supplement the 2040 Land Use Plan in outlining the future planning objectives for
District 4.
Historic Downtown Lakeville and surrounding areas is also within District 4, which includes a full
range of land use types. Lakeville recently completed an update of the detailed planning study
for Downtown Lakeville to encourage strengthening the character and vitality of the area. The
Downtown Development Guide describes the desired character of downtown Lakeville and
guides public and private actions to promote this vision.
The 2040 Land Use Plan and the following recommendations outline the long-range planning
objectives for District 4:
▪ Promote use of Best Management Practices for new development within District 4 in an
effort to improve the downstream water quality for trout streams and enforce Shoreland
Overlay District regulations and the South Creek Management Plan on land within 300
feet of the South Creek tributary.
▪ Lakeville will implement Best Management Practices and encourage Low Impact
Development strategies to improve the water quality and user enjoyment of Lake Marion.
▪ The City will monitor housing and site conditions within established neighborhoods to
ensure that the current high quality residential character within District 4 is maintained.
▪ Infill development of the remaining parcels guided for low density residential uses will be
encouraged to be compatible with existing single family uses through consistent lot
requirements and subdivision design.
2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Land Use
______________________________________________________________________
City of Lakeville -134- Public Hearing Draft
▪ Resubdivision of the single family lots in Appaloosa Farms is encouraged with the
availability of municipal sewer utilities.
▪ District 4 contains many natural and topographical features including hydric soils, steep
slopes, significant tree cover, wetlands, and natural dra inageways. While the existing
natural environment constrains development of this area, its unique features also make
the area attractive to residents. The following recommendations are offered to guide
development in this area while respecting its unique natural features:
o Delineate greenway corridors that connect environmentally sensitive lands within
District 4 as part of the subdivision review process.
o The City will promote subdivision design flexibility through the Central Area PUD
District as a means of creating the greenway corridors and protecting open space
within District 4:
- Establish base residential zoning outlining the permitted uses and densities
for each residential area consistent with the 2040 Land Use Plan.
- Require density clustering and compact site designs to accommodate
common greenway corridors and open space areas and preserve
environmentally sensitive areas.
- Offer flexibility in housing type, lot requirements and setback
requirements to accommodate development on buildable land a reas in
exchange for permanently preserving open space.
- As an incentive for participants in the PUD planning process, consider a
density incentive for new development by basing the allowed density on
the gross acreage of the land holdings rather than the net buildable
acreage. This incentive would only be considered with the expanded
protection for passive and active open spaces deeded to the City over and
above standard park dedication requirements. The developer must also
demonstrate that the remaining buildable land not deeded to the public
for open space protection has the capacity to accommodate the additional
density and that the proposed land use is consistent with the goals and
intent of the 2040 Land Use Plan.
INSERT CENTRAL AREA PLAN
2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Land Use
______________________________________________________________________
City of Lakeville -135- Public Hearing Draft
▪ Development of Medium Density Residential land uses will be guided at the southwest
corner of Ipava Avenue and CSAH 50 to provide a transition between the low density
residential neighborhoods and areas proposed for office park/business campus land uses,
the existing railroad right-of-way and impacts from traffic on CSAH 50.
▪ Development of medium-to-high density residential uses is guided along the east side of
Kenrick Avenue between 205th Street and Lake Marion due to limited area between I-35
and Lake Marion and to buffer the low density residential neighborhoods and Lake
Marion from impacts related to traffic on I-35.
▪ Heritage Commons is a commercial focal point of the City. The commercial land use
patterns at the Dodd Boulevard and 202 nd Street will be implemented through the
following recommendations:
o Promote a full range of commercial retail and service land uses within the Heritage
Commons area.
o Promote a variety of residential land use types around the Heritage Commons
area for local market support.
o Continue implementation of the Heritage Commons Design Guidelines to promote
consistent themes for architecture, subdivision design, site design, streetscape,
open space protection, landscaping, automobile and pedestrian circulation for the
Heritage Commons area.
o Promote shared parking arrangements to promote business interchange and
reduce the amount of impervious surfacing.
o Establish a greenway corridor along the existing drainageway as both an amenity
and a storm water management element.
o Maximize pedestrian and bicycle access and movement to the Heritage Commons
area.
o Utilize City Hall, Heritage Center, fire station, and the Dakota County Heritage
Library as architectural examples within the Heritage Commons area.
▪ Lakeville will pursue efforts to establish an interrelationship between the Lakeville CBD
and the Heritage Commons area through design criteria, streetscape, greenway corridor,
and pedestrian connections.

▪ The recommendations of the Downtown Development Guide are incorporated by
reference as an integral part of the 2040 Land Use Plan.
▪ Areas within the CBD guided for mixed use by the Downtown Development Guide shall
allow for integration of retail, service and office uses with medium and high density
residential housing units to create a development form consistent with traditional
downtown land uses to be implemented under zoning district and performance standards
specific to the desired character of Downtown Lakeville.
▪ The City will work closely with ISD 194 in any future school facility planning at Kenwood
Trail Middle School.
▪ Land use planning in the southeast area of District 4 must be respective to the operations
and noise impact of the Airlake Airport. Development in this area must also comply with
applicable height restrictions so as not to interfere with airport operations.
▪ Commercial land uses to provide streetscapes consistent with the design guidelines
outlined in the Downtown Development Guide and Community Corridor and Gateway
Design/Landscape Study.
▪ The following street improvements are proposed within District 4 in accordance with the
2018 Transportation Plan:
o 185th Street (CSAH 60) is proposed as a minor arterial roadway along the northern
edge of District 4 to be extended east of Dodd Boulevard.
o Dodd Boulevard (CSAH 9) is designated as a minor arterial roadway street and is
to be widened to two lanes with a dedicated center turn lane as a minor arterial
roadway.
o Extend 190th Street between Kenwood Trail (CSAH 50) and Irvona Avenue as a
major collector street.
o Extend Ixonia Avenue south of 185th Street (CSAH 60) as a minor collector street.
▪ The City will continue to improve Antlers Park to enhance the user enjoyment of both the
park and Lake Marion.
▪ Development of the Bury property will require preservation of the bluff line along the
southwest shore of Lake Marion as a greenway corridor and dedication of land for a
neighborhood park and/or as an enhancement to Caspers on Park and acquisition of the
Rechtzigel property to connect Lake Marion Park and Casperson Park is a priority.

District 5 – Cedar Corridor
District 5 encompasses the Cedar Avenue corridor from Glacier Way extending south to 210th
Street. This district includes large areas of undeveloped parcels within the Farmington
Interceptor sewershed not previously included within the MUSA or MUSA Expansion Areas due
to limitations on sewer utility extensions. The 2040 Land Use Plan and following
recommendations summarize the long-range planning objectives for District 5:
▪ Areas within District 5 designated as MUSA Expansion Area A may be provided sewer (and
water) utility services in accordance with the criteria established by the 2040 Land Use
Plan.
▪ Areas designated as MUSA Expansion Area B are not intended to develop prior to 2028.
If planning for the Cedar Avenue Bus Rapid Transitway (Red Line) is completed and
funding sources are secured to allow for construction of the transportation
improvements, consideration may be given to amendment of the MUSA Staging Plan to
allow initiation of urban development consistent with the recommendations of the 2040
Land Use Plan.
▪ The 2040 Land Use Plan guides development of a range of residential, commercial, public
and corridor mixed-uses along the Cedar Avenue corridor to support planned extension
of future transit service.
▪ The area within one-half mile of the Cedar Avenue corridor will be considered for
development having an average residential density of at least 8.0 dwelling units per acre
if current planning for BRT is completed and funding for implementation is secured.
▪ Lakeville will encourage development of transit-oriented uses and site design in proximity
to planned BRT stations within the Cedar Corridor integrating residential, retail, service,
office and public uses in coordination and support of planned transit facilities.
▪ Areas outside of the designated one-half mile BRT corridor west to Highview Avenue are
guided for low density residential uses to transition to existing neighborhoods and
developing areas in central Lakeville.
▪ The Avonlea development, including the Darrow-Kohls property, shall be developed in
accordance with the PUD District and PUD Master Plan approved by the City Council on
April 6, 2015.

City of Lakeville -153- Public Hearing Draft
District 6 – I-35/CSAH 70 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORRIDOR
Planning District 6 is located along the southern boundary of Lakeville from the I-35 and CSAH 70
interchange east to the boundary with Farmington. Lakeville had the forethought to reserve this
corridor for development of office park and industrial development that is critical to the City’s
economic development goals. District 6 land uses are dominated by commercial uses
surrounding the I-35 and CSAH 70 interchange, office park uses such as Fairfield Business
Campus, industrial uses such as Airlake Industrial Park and more recent development extending
west to Dodd Boulevard, and the Airlake Airport. Continued expansion of commercial, office park
and industrial land uses is planned by the 2040 Land Use Plan consistent with the City’s strategic
priority for development of uses that will expand employment opportunities and tax base
important for a sustainable community. The following recommendations outline the long-range
objectives for District 6.
▪ Integrate new urban development with South Creek west of Lakeville South High School
as a Greenway corridor and implementation of Best Management Practices and Low
Impact Development strategies.
▪ Medium-to-High Density and High Density Residential development will be pursued west
of I-35 to encourage workforce housing and market support for area Commercial, Office
Park and Industrial land uses and access to future transit options within the I-35 corridor.
▪ Commercial areas surrounding the I-35/CSAH 70 interchange will be promoted as
locations for regionally oriented retail, service and office businesses. An opportunity for
a major retail destination development is envisioned at the southwest quadrant of I-35
and CSAH 70.
▪ Commercial land uses guided adjacent to the Cedar Avenue (CSAH 23) and CSAH 50
intersection will allow for automobile-oriented uses such as motor vehicle sales and
service or similar non-traditional retail or service uses.
▪ Uses within District 6 will be developed in accordance with the guidelines and
recommendations of the Community Corridor and Gateway Design/Landscape Study.
▪ Promote the expansion and development of Office Park uses east of I-35 adjacent to CSAH
70 to encourage location of high skill, high wage employment opportunities within
Lakeville and expansion of the local tax base utilizing access to regional tra nsportation
corridors:
o Future Office Park development is intended to demonstrate high quality site
design integrated with existing natural conditions of the area and significant green
space and landscaping amenities.
2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Natural Resources
______________________________________________________________________
City of Lakeville -154- Public Hearing Draft
o Building architecture and materials are to display a high degree of aesthetic
enhancement and must be compatible with surrounding residential land uses with
regard to both operation and orientation.
▪ The designation of the Office Park land use in this area of Lakeville is a long-range
development goal. The City may in the future consider adjustments to the boundary
between planned Office Park and Light Industrial/Warehouse land uses in response to
specific development proposals that are determined to be consistent with established
long-range development goals and the intent of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
▪ Light industrial and warehouse uses are to be developed in accordance with established
performance standards with adequate access to utility and regional transportation
infrastructure while mitigating environmental impacts and land use compatibility issues
with surrounding properties.
▪ CSAH 70 is designated as a minor arterial roadway by the 2018 Transportation Plan and
recommended to be expanded to four lanes from Kensington Boulevard to Holyoke
Avenue and three lanes from Holyoke Avenue to Cedar Avenue (CSAH 23).
▪ Promote infill development of industrial land and in-place expansion of existing
industries.
▪ Lakeville supports continued operation and planned expansion of Airlake Airport as an
amenity for planned Office Park and Industrial uses in accordance with the Metropolitan
Airports Commission facility plan and the following:
o Continue to pursue stormwater management opportunities through Best
Management Practices and Low Impact Development Strategies on the Airlake
Airport property.
o Extension of sanitary sewer and water utilities to Airlake Airport will be allowed
only with annexation of facilities to Lakeville.
o Noise level contours are indicated in the 2035 Airlake Airport Long-Term
Comprehensive Plan, which are not linked to requirements for noise attenuation
or mitigation. The Federal Aviation Administration does require that sensitive
uses, such as residential dwellings, adjacent to airports that are within a 65 dB DNL
noise level contour be tested to determine if interior noise levels are greater than
45 Db and qualify for sound insulation. If future environmental studies determine
that there are sensitive uses within the 65 dB DNL contour, the City and MAC will
coordinate on development of a sound testing program to determine if the
structures would be eligible for south insulation.
2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Natural Resources

City of Lakeville -155- Public Hearing Draft
o Recognize Airlake Airport operation impacts on adjacent land uses when planning
for future land uses as part of the development review process.

2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Implementation
______________________________________________________________________
City of Lakeville -163- Public Hearing Draft
Implementation
An ongoing effort of the comprehensive planning process is implementation to affect the goals
and policies established by the 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan. Implementation of the 2040
Comprehensive Plan will involve review of existing official controls and other devices needed to
implement the policies and plans established by the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan and
long-term efforts related to development review, infrastructure expansion, as well as
consideration of possible amendment requests.
Communication
Dissemination of information and inviting participation in the planning process and during
consideration of development requests in Lakeville is critical for successful implementation of
the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Lakeville will implement the following strategies on an on-
going basis to provide information and encourage participation in the planning process:
1. Public hearings required for proposed development applications shall be conducted by
the Planning Commission in accordance with the procedures established by the Zoning
Ordinance and/or Subdivision Ordinance and as required by Minnesota Statute.
2. Prior to public hearings, the City shall encourage developers to h ost neighborhood
meetings with residents, businesses and property owners in the area to provide
information regarding a proposed project.
3. Lakeville will continue to include news releases and a City newsletter in the official
newspaper related to on-going planning related activities and development proposals.
4. Information regarding on-going planning related activities, development proposals and
broadcast of Planning Commission and City Council meetings will continue to be made
available through public access cable television.
5. The City of Lakeville website is an emerging media tool that the City will continue to use
and enhance to make information regarding planning and development review activities
more readily available and accessible to the public.
6. Lakeville will continue to work with established business and civic organizations as a
means of communicating information regarding the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Implementation
______________________________________________________________________
City of Lakeville -164- Public Hearing Draft
7. Lakeville will continue to conduct community surveys to solicit input from residents,
businesses and property owners regarding the character of the community, potential
issues to address and satisfaction with the City’s administration, services and facilities.
Official Controls
The Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance are the primary regulations governing land use
and development in Lakeville. The Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance underwent a
comprehensive update in 2000 to incorporate additional provisions related to environmental
protection and land use buffering and screening requirements, expanded single family zoning
districts, establishment of standard performance requirements for medium and high density
residential uses, establishment of zoning districts to continue the desired character of the CBD
area, and establishment of a transitional office zoning district and refinements to the uses
allowed in various commercial zoning districts to ensure proper locations for various activities

City of Lakeville -173- Public Hearing Draft
Lakeville’s official controls are required by State Statute 473.865 to be consistent with the 2040
Land Use Plan. Following adoption of the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan update, an update
of the Zoning Ordinance and/or Subdivision Ordinance will be initiated to implement the
following recommendations:
1. The requirements for development of multiple family residential uses will be reviewed
and updated based on the study undertaken in 2016 and developments undertaken with
a PUD District approach as demonstration projects to evaluate density, minimum lot area,
minimum setbacks, building height, dwelling mix and minimum area, and off-street
parking requirements.
The most likely approach to implement revised standards for multiple family
developments is amendments to the RH-2 District to allow more intensive multiple family
developments planned for high density residential uses by the 2040 Land Use Plan and
designated at specific locations on the Zoning Map adjacent to existing or planned
commercial nodes, concentrations of employment or high capacity transportation
corridors that may include future transit.
2. Implementation for the Corridor Mixed Use land use category established by the 2040
Land Use Plan will require a new zoning district be adopted. This zoning district must
provide for retail, service, and office activities within a compact, concentrated urban form
of development together with a medium and high-density residential dwellings as a
conditional use.
3. The Downtown Development Guide promotes areas of potential redevelopment within
Downtown Lakeville. The City must review the existing Central Business District zoning
designations and make modifications as needed to ensure that the uses and forms
allowed by the Zoning Ordinance provide a flexible mechanism to realize the vision
outlined for Downtown Lakeville.
4. Incorporate best management practices outlined the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency’s GreenStep Cities within the performance standards of the Zoning Ordinance.
5. The Zoning Map will be updated to reflect the land use changes provided for on the 2040
Land Use Plan and the Downtown Development Guide.
The City intends to amend the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance by the end of 2019
or approximately nine months after final approval of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan by
Metropolitan Council.
