This <br />Commission shall also consider all plats submitted by private property owners, all plans and <br />proposals for development of private or public property within the City as required by City <br />Ordinance, and shall advise the Council on any and all matters referred to it by the Council. <br /> <br />The review of the Planning Commission is further instructed in State Statute § 462.356, Subd. 2 <br />Procedure to Effect Plan: Generally which requires that, before a City acquire or dispose of any <br />interest in property that the Planning Commission review the proposed transaction for consistency <br />with the comprehensive plan. Below is the language in its entirety from this subdivision: <br />Subd. 2. Compliance with plan. <br /> <br />After a comprehensive municipal plan or section thereof has been recommended by the planning <br />agency and a copy filed with the governing body, no publicly owned interest in real property within <br />the municipality shall be acquired or disposed of, nor shall any capital improvement be authorized <br />by the municipality or special district or agency thereof or any other political subdivision having <br />jurisdiction within the municipality until after the planning agency has reviewed the proposed <br />acquisition, disposal, or capital improvement and reported in writing to the governing body or <br />other special district or agency or political subdivision concerned, its findings as to compliance <br />of the proposed acquisition, disposal or improvement with the comprehensive municipal plan. <br />Failure of the planning agency to report on the proposal within 45 days after such a reference, or <br />such other period as may be designated by the governing body shall be deemed to have satisfied <br />the requirements of this subdivision. The governing body may, by resolution adopted by two-thirds <br />vote dispense with the requirements of this subdivision when in its judgment it finds that the <br />proposed acquisition or disposal of real property or capital improvement has no relationship to <br />the comprehensive municipal plan. <br /> <br />In addition, Minn. Stat. § 412.211 states the need to notify the Planning Commission and request <br />their review regarding conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. In this case, the parcel has <br />been identified in a TIF District for redevelopment since 1995. <br />
