City of Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan Update Proposal Task 201: Advisory Panel Issues Forum DSU will facilitate an exercise with the Panel to identify initial issues, opportunities and important stakeholders. This exercise will help to ensure Panel members are engaged and excited about the planning process. The issues and opportunities identified will be used as a basis for future issue analysis and may be included in a revision of the Background Report. Since the comprehensive planning process is meant to build upon the directives from the Visioning exercise completed by Neu and Company, the issues forum will be designed to complement and expand on this work. Advisory Panel members will still have adequate opportunity to present issues as they feel necessary. Task 202: Prepare Draft Goals and Policies Using input from the Visioning exercise and the Advisory Panel issues forum, DSU will formulate a draft set of goals and policies. Topic areas will include at least the following: • Transportation • Housing • Commercial areas • Parks and Trails • Urban Design • Environment • Public Infrastructure • Regional Planning Goal statements will be drafted for each topic area. Each goal will be tied to one or more policy to ensure it is accomplished. The goal statements will drive the preparation of Alternatives and Implementation Strategies in Phase 3. DSU will deliver both a written version of the draft as well as a presentation. Task 203: Technical Committee — Review Draft Goals and Policies DSU will facilitate a meeting of the Technical Committee to review the draft goals and policies. Revisions will be completed based on feedback from the group. Task 204: Advisory Panel — Review Draft Goals and Policies DSU will facilitate a meeting of the Advisory Panel to review the draft goals and policies. Revisions will be completed based on feedback from the group. Task 205: Joint Planning and Zoning Board and City Council Workshop DSU will present the Goals, Policies and a summary of the input from the Technical Committee and Advisory Panel to the Planning and Zoning Board and the City Council at a joint meeting for their review and comment. Input from the Planning and Zoning Board and City Council will trigger revisions to the Goals and Policies as necessary. The process will only move to Phase 3 when the City Council has approved the goals and policies. Communication Effort #3 This step will also trigger the third major communication effort, distributing the approved Goals and Policies and updating the public on the progress of the planning process via the website and other mediums and responding to any questions or comments. Phase 3: Alternatives Task 300: Prepare Alternatives Alternative land use plans will be developed for the entire city, as well as for up to three specific growth areas to be determined during the course of the process. 9
