Chapter 2 Community Characteristics Land Use Development Pattern Regional Location Lakeville is located in the southern-most portion of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Area within Dakota County (see the regional map which follows). Convenient access to the southern metropolitan area via I-35W and I-35E has been stimulating rapid development of Lakeville’s residential and commercial areas. In prior years, Lakeville has been a freestanding growth center servicing the surrounding agricultural activities. However, close proximity to the metropolitan community gradually attracted diverse community development including residential subdivisions, the Airlake Industrial Park and commercial businesses tying Lakeville into the larger Twin Cities Metropolitan Urban Area. Existing Land Use Residential development in the southern metropolitan area today extends to Lakeville, establishing it as an outer ring suburb. According to the Metropolitan Council, Lakeville is at the edge between the predominately rural and predominately urban service areas. While the community still maintains a traditional downtown community and developed residential areas, extensive new development has occurred in the last two decades that has changed the City’s status as a freestanding community to an integral part of the Metropolitan Council’s 2030 Framework. As shown on Map 1, the 2030 Framework Planning Areas include two main categories, Urban Planning Areas and Rural Planning Areas. These areas are further divided into Developed Areas and Developing Areas within the Urban Planning Areas and Rural Center, Agricultural, Diversified Rural and Rural Residential within the Rural Planning Areas. Lakeville is designated as Developing Area. Existing land use patterns within Lakeville are generally reflective of the City’s Municipal Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundaries, shown on Map 2, ranging from rural land uses and remaining vacant land to the full variety of urban land uses. The City will continue to promote infill development of the existing MUSA prior to expanding its MUSA in an orderly and staged manner. The current land use breakdown for Lakeville is shown in Table 1. Lakeville contains approximately 24,180 total acres. Nearly half of those acres, about 14,200 acres, are within the MUSA. As of 2005, the largest percentage of land in Lakeville, 29 percent of the total acres, is vacant or has an agricultural land use designation. This percentage has reduced by about 13 percent from 1998. The next largest existing land use is low density single family residential, which has consistently been the second highest use of the land in years past.

As the City continues to evolve over time to 2030, land uses will shift from vacant or agricultural uses to developed urban uses. This change in land use will bring increased population densities and emphasize the need to develop the City’s park system and preserve the remaining natural areas of the community.
