2030 Comprehensive Plan <br />City Council June 8, 2009 <br />page 2 <br />29. City staff will work with Met Council staff on any issues that arise during the review. <br />Ultimately, the plan will be approved by the Met Council and the City Council will adopt it. <br />City Council Direction at June 3, 2009 Work Session <br />The council gave staff the following directions at the June 3 work session: <br />1. Change the growth forecast for households and population to match the Metropolitan <br />Council's forecast. This lowers the forecast in the November draft to the following: <br />year <br />2000 <br />2010 <br />2020 <br />2030 <br />households <br />4,857 <br />7,500 <br />9,100 <br />10,600 <br />population <br />16,791 <br />22,500 <br />26,300 <br />30,700 <br />Employment forecasts will include City's forecast because the Met Council forecast has <br />already been exceeded and thus is obsolete. <br />year <br />2000 <br />2010 <br />2020 <br />2030 <br />employment <br />2,444 <br />4,500 <br />7,118 <br />8,000 <br />A list of revisions that will result from this change to the forecast is included with this report <br />as Attachment F. <br />2. The land use and staging maps will not change from what is in the draft plan now. <br />3. In order to learn more about how housing affordability is addressed elsewhere, the city will <br />pursue additional information from other communities and from organizations to become <br />more educated about the topic. <br />4. The land use maps will not be changed in response to two specific requests from the property <br />owners. These were received after the Planning & Zoning Board's public hearing and <br />recommendations. One site is in the area of Lake Drive/Main Street and the other one is <br />north of that intersection. The council supported the recommendations of staff on these <br />requests. Specific information one these requests is attached to this report. <br />Comments From Adjacent Jurisdictions <br />As required by law, we sent out the draft plan to adjacent jurisdictions in November. We have <br />received comments from most of those jurisdictions and staff has recommendations on how to <br />address them. The majority of the comments require simple clarifications. Some, however, led <br />to additional review and some changes to figures or text. Attachment A lists the comments and <br />the recommended actions. <br />
