The planning agency <br />shall prepare the comprehensive municipal plan. In discharging this duty <br />the planning agency shall consult with and coordinate the planning <br />activities of other departments and agencies of the municipality to insure <br />conformity with and to assist in the development of the comprehensive <br />municipal plan. In its planning activities the planning agency shall take <br />due cognizance of the planning activities of adjacent units of government <br />and other affected public agencies. The planning agency shall <br />periodically review the plan and recommend amendments whenever <br />necessary. <br />Staff is requesting City Council direction on how to proceed, as well as a timeline <br />for completion of the review. Staff is recommending that a joint Planning and <br />Zoning Board and City Council meeting be held to allow the appropriate time for <br />the presentation and discussion. It is likely that multiple meetings may be <br />necessary. If the council wishes to proceed staff will set up the meeting for late <br />June of early July. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1.
