• • attached, provides a policy statement describing the purpose for the establishment of Municipal Planning and Development. It is the hope of staff and the advisory panel that our collective goal would be to develop a plan consistent with the Legislature's intent of providing municipalities the authority to plan. Process Next Steps Attached for your review is a revised process schedule for completion of the plan. During the next two months, staff and the consultant team will be drafting the plan text and the associated system plans. We also intend to hold our second Open House to provide an opportunity for public comment on the 2030 staging and land use plans as well as the RMP. During this period, we will be expanding on the growth management framework from a policy standpoint. Concurrently we will develop implementation guidance for issues such as expanding into Stage 2 development areas prior to their identified year. We will also be revising individual planning district guidance. In the existing Comprehensive Plan the city is broken into seven planning districts. The district chapters contain site specific information such as the 49/J Master Plan requirements or area specific goals and policies, such as establishing gateways or design criteria for redevelopment of Lake Drive. Staff is planning to complete the plan document for distribution to the advisory panel prior to the end of July. We would then review elements of the plan over the next four weeks in August. Another Open House would be held in late August with the Planning & Zoning board holding a public hearing in September. The plan would then be reviewed by the City Council in October with approval for distribution to adjacent jurisdictions for review in November. Council Direction Staff is requesting comments from the City Council on the proposed forecasts, plans, and growth management framework. Attachments 1. Draft 2030 Growth Forecast Revisions 2.
