2. Compatibility with plans of adjacent local governmental units; and 3. Apparent consistency with other adopted Metropolitan Development Guide chapters. The Council may provide advisory comments with regard to other aspects such as technical adequacy, completeness and its internal consistenby. As part of the review, the Council: "may require a local governmental unit to modify a comprehensive plan or part thereof which may have a substantial impact on or contain a substantial departure from metropolitan system plans." The Council must complete its review of the local comprehensive plan within 120 days following the issuance of the order to commence plan review. On July 15, 1981, the Council suspended review of Shoreview's plan due to content concerns. Following receipt of additional plan content, the review was recommenced on September 28, 1981. The 120 - day period has therefore been extended to January 8, 1982. II. DESCRIPTION OF SHOREVIEW Shoreview is an urbanizing community. The largest tracts of undeveloped land are located in the northern portion of the city. Shoreview is located in Ramsey County and borders on Anoka County. Communities bordering Shoreview include Blaine, Circle Pines and Lino Lakes on the north, Roseville on the south, White Bear Township, North Oaks, Vadnais Heights and Little Canada on the east, and Arden Hills and Mounds View on the west. Most of Shoreview is served by the Mounds View School District (621). A small portion of southern Shoreview is served by the Roseville School District (623). III. DESCRIPTION OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Shoreview is a developing suburb which can accommodate additional growth during the planning period (to 1990). Since Shoreview is heavily dominated by residential development, the plan proposes that the city pursue a stronger course of diversification in its economic base. However, the plan calls for continued residential development as well, emphasizing a variety of housing types and promoting more affordable housing. The plan also proposes that the city play a stronger role in ensuring energy efficient construction and land use policies. With a substantial portion of the city already developed, the plan points out it is critical that certain remaining key areas be developed in an optimal way. To this end, the plan designates several Policy Development Areas which will be the focus of the city's development attention. Additional, more detailed development standards will be prepared for these areas. - 2 -
