/'*114� PROCEDURES The first step in implementing the plan is to adopt it as an official policy of the city. This is the responsibility of the city council on recommendation from the design review board. The actual process for adopting the revised land use and community facilities plan is outlined in Minnesota Statutes and is as follows: 1. A public hearing on the plan must be held by the "planning agency." 2. The planning agency - in this case the planning commission - recommends the plan or revises the plan to the city council (M.S. 462, Subd. 2). 3. The city council has two options if it wishes to adopt the plan: a. Give the plan preliminary approval and submit it to the Metropolitan Council for its review. b. Give final approval contingent on Metropolitan Council review and approval. 4. The Metropolitan Council receives the plans "...to determine their compatibility with each other (other cities plans) and with metropolitan systems plans" (M.S. 473.175, Subd. 1). 5. The Metropolitan Council determines whether the plan constitutes a minor or major change within 10 days of receipt of the plan. a. A minor change allows the city to implement the plan within 10 days. b. A major change will be reviewed within 90 days. Implementation can be effective after determination of compatibility by the Metropolitan Council. 6. If the city council granted only preliminary approval before submittal to the Metropolitan Council it now considers final approval. After approval implementation can begin. With regard to actual implementation of the plan, Minnesota Statutes give Lino Lakes several methods of bringing the recommendations to reality. Shown below are seven categories of actions and which of the recommendations each can implement. Some plan recommendations are found in more than one category of action. Page 26
