AGENDA ITEM 7 A STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser C.C. MEETING DATE: August 26, 2002 TOPIC: Resolution 02 -103 Approval of Comprehensive Plan, Including Revisions VOTE REQUIRED: 4/5 BACKGROUND In June 2001, the City Council approved the comprehensive plan. The Council recognized that there could be revisions to the plan before it is implemented. The City Council has had numerous discussions about the plan, and agreed to some revisions. The Metropolitan Council approved the comprehensive plan on August 14. Now, the City Council must give final approval to the plan. ANALYSIS In June 2001, the City Council adopted Resolution 01 -88, which included the statements recognizing: a) that review of the comprehensive plan by the Metropolitan Council, or other information received by the City Council, may result in the need for minor revisions, and b) the potential need to revisit the Comprehensive Plan and approve any such minor revisions before the Plan is implemented As anticipated, a number of revisions have been made to the document. These were discussed at numerous work sessions. In addition, an October letter from the Met Council pointed out some corrections and updates that are necessary to the document. These include updates of bus routes and corrections to maps showing additions to regional park reserve land. The final adoption of the comprehensive plan must include the revisions and corrections, The list attached to Resolution 02 -103 as Attachment A makes it clear what changes are to be included in the approval of the document. The document will be revised in the next few weeks, including the maps. Complete, updated documents will then be available. Staff will distribute copies to the City Council. Copies will be available for sale to the public. As usual, a copy will be available in the library in City Hall.
