2030 Comprehensive Plan <br />City Council May 23, 2011 <br />page 2 <br />• The City Council modified the Residential Land Use density ranges as follows: <br />Low Density Residential <br />Medium Density Residential <br />High Density Residential <br />1.6 to 3.9 units per acre (instead of 1.5 to 3.5) <br />4.0 to 5.9 units per acre (instead of 3.6 to 6.9) <br />6.0 to 10.0 units per acre (instead of 7.0 to 12.0) <br />The proposed Land Use Plan revisions are intended to address council concerns regarding <br />establishment of a hard growth cap, providing development flexibility, managing pace of <br />growth, and maintaining even growth from year to year while still accommodating the <br />growth forecasts. Upon final approval of the Comprehensive Plan the city's existing Growth <br />Management ordinance would be amended to incorporate these revisions. <br />Staff submitted the proposed revisions to adjacent jurisdictions for review in February 2011. <br />The information sent to the adjacent jurisdictions included supplemental material submitted <br />to the Met Council in October 2009 as part of the original review because the other <br />jurisdictions had not seen that material. The last response was received on May 11, 2011. <br />The only change resulting from comments from the other jurisdictions are minor corrections <br />in the transit section regarding express bus route 275. These corrections are included in <br />Attachment A along with other transit corrections resulting from the 2009 Met Council <br />approval. <br />We also sent the proposed revisions to the Met Council for a preliminary look in order to <br />expedite the formal review. Met Council wanted the estimated breakdown of sewered and <br />unsewered households added to the growth forecast table on page 1 -6. This just inserts data <br />that was part of the original review but not in the document. It does not change the forecasts. <br />The next step is to submit the revisions for formal review by the Metropolitan Council. After <br />Met Council's approval, the City Council will need to act to grant final approval. <br />OPTIONS <br />1. Approve Resolution No. 11 -49, Preliminary Approval of revised 2030 Comprehensive <br />Plan for submittal to Metropolitan Council. This approval includes the revisions in <br />Attachment A, described in this report. <br />2. Return to staff with direction. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Option 1 <br />ATTACHMENTS: Attachment A, Revisions to the draft 2030 Comprehensive Plan <br />
