Mapping Northwest Main is the City of Lino Lakes’ effort to explore development scenarios for a 980-acre study area in the northwestern corner of the city.

Lino Lakes is committed to ensuring that residents have a voice in how this area develops. To ensure that residents have opportunities to provide input, the city is beginning a planning process with opportunities for residents to weigh in and help guide decision-making for future development.  

The Study Area

The 980-acre area forms the northwesternmost corner of Lino Lakes and is located along one of the primary “gateways” into the city via Main Street. The area is bounded by 4th Avenue to the east, Sunset Avenue to the west, Pine Street to the north, and Century Trail/Carl Street to the south.

Goals of the Planning Process

Mapping Northwest Main is not a process to select a final development plan. It is an opportunity to shape our community’s future and ensure that development decisions align with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan for Lino Lakes, and local, state and federal regulations. 

The goals of the planning process are to:

  • Guide development of the area for the future​

  • Define potential development scenarios ​

  • Outline development requirements
