Implementing the plan <br />See Section V: Changing the <br />Structure or Abolishing the <br />Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Minn. Stat. § 462.356, subd <br />1. <br />Once a comprehensive plan is adopted, the planning commission continues <br />to exist (unless dissolved using statutory procedures). Once a plan is <br />adopted, the main task of the planning commission is to study and propose <br />to the city council a reasonable and practicable means for putting the plan or <br />section of the plan into effect. <br />Minn. Stat. § 462.356, subd <br />1. Reasonable and practicable means for putting the plan into action may <br />include: <br />See LMC information memo, <br />Zoning Guide for Cities. <br /> <br />LMC information memo <br />Zoning Decisions. <br />See Handbook, <br />Comprehensive Planning, <br />Land Use, and City-Owned <br />Land. <br />LMC information memo, <br />Subdivision Guide for Cities. <br />See Handbook, <br />Comprehensive Planning, <br />Land Use, and City-Owned <br />Land. <br />• Zoning regulations. <br />• Regulations for the subdivision of land. <br />• An official map. <br />• A program for coordination of the normal public improvements and <br />services of the municipality. <br />• A program for urban renewal, and <br />• A capital improvement program. <br /> In submitting recommendations for effectuation of the comprehensive plan <br />to council, the planning commission serves in a strictly advisory role. The <br />city council ultimately decides on the adoption of any land use ordinances or <br />city programs. <br /> C. Role in periodic review of the comprehensive <br />plan <br />Minn.

Stat. 473.121, subd. 2. <br />Cities within the seven-county metropolitan area must review and update <br />their plan, fiscal devices, and official controls at least every 10 years, and <br />submit their revised plans to the Metropolitan Council for review. “Fiscal <br />devices” means the valuation of property, the designation of urban and rural <br />service districts, and the establishment of development districts and any <br />other statutes authorizing the creation of districts in which the use of tax <br />increment bonding is authorized. “Metropolitan area” or “area” means the <br />area over which the Metropolitan Council has jurisdiction, including the <br />counties of Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and <br />Washington, but excluding the cities of Northfield, Cannon Falls, Hanover, <br />Rockford, and New Prague.
