Planning Commission <br />6/26/07 <br />Workshop <br />ITEM: Falcon Heights Comprehensive Plan -New Draft Sections <br />SUBMITTED BY: Deborah Jones, Planning and Zoning Director <br />REVIEWED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator <br />Summary: <br />The first draft of the Falcon Heights Comprehensive Plan of 2008 is partially complete. The <br />transportation, utility and stormwater management portions have been completed by S.E.H. and <br />turned in to the City. The background and land use sections have been drafted by City staff and <br />are ready for review and input from the Steering Committee. The Planning Commission is also <br />invited to read and comment on these drafts and share their ideas with staff. The workshop <br />following the June 26 Commission meeting will be a first opportunity for discussion and <br />brainstorming on what has been done so far. <br />The workshop will begin with a slide presentation on the most significant challenge facing <br />Falcon Heights land use planning in the next 22 years: where to put the additiona1222 <br />households projected in the Metropolitan Council forecast. As it remains highly unlikely that <br />• University of Minnesota or State Fair lands will be released for development in this time frame, <br />the presentation will examine redevelopment potential of existing private property along <br />Larpenteur Avenue. <br />Please read the attached drafts and be prepared to ask questions and offer ideas. The italicized <br />items are places where staff would especially appreciate your discussion and input. Also, please <br />continue to send your comments to staff in the coming weeks. We will need to receive all your <br />input by July 13, when we will begin working on the final draft. <br />A copy of the form the City must submit to the Metropolitan Council with the final report is also <br />attached to give you an idea of what the requirements are. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />• 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update Transmittal Form (Metropolitan Council) <br />• Background Section -Draft 2 <br />• Land Use Section -Draft 1 <br />• Tables from old Comprehensive Plan - updated/replaced <br />• Community Housing Profile -Falcon Heights (Metropolitan Council) <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Review of documents, workshop discussion, input to staff. <br />• <br />Staff Report for workshop on Comprehensive Plan 2008 drafts Page 1 of 1 <br />Falcon Heights Planning Commission -June 26, 2007 <br />
