• AGENDA ITEM 6B STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala COUNCIL MEETING DATE: September 12, 2011 TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 11 -94, Approving 2030 Comprehensive Plan Update ACTION REQUIRED: 4/5 BACKGROUND: In accordance with Minnesota Statutes 473.864 every city within the Seven County Metropolitan Area must review and, if necessary, update its comprehensive plan every ten years and submit it to the Metropolitan Council for review. The City of Lino Lakes began its decennial plan review process with a quality of life survey in 2005 followed by the creation of a citizen committee that prepared the 2030 Vision Plan, which was completed in 2007. A citizen advisory panel worked with staff and the City Council from 2007 through 2009 to prepare the draft 2030 Comprehensive Plan. • In June of 2009 the City Council passed Resolution No. 09 -23 adopting preliminary approval of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan for submittal to the Metropolitan Council. On December 9, 2009 the Metropolitan Council authorized the City to put its 2030 Plan Update into effect. • Throughout 2010 the City Council continued to discuss modification of the plan regarding growth management and housing. In January of 2011 the City Council completed its review and directed staff to submit the plan to adjacent jurisdictions for review. In May of 2011 the City Council passed Resolution No. 11 -49 granting preliminary approval of the revised plan for submittal to the Metropolitan Council. On August 10, 2011 the Metropolitan Council authorized the City to put the revised 2030 plan into effect. The City Council has worked extensively, since the plan was received from the City's Planning and Zoning Board, to build upon and enhance the draft document. The City Council's work over the past two years have centered on concerns regarding pace, quality and density. Through the resulting stages of plan review the Council has addressed these concerns. The initial 2009 council action included the following changes to the draft plan: • Decreased the household growth forecasts from 6,600 units to 4,600 units resulting in the reduction of the cumulative 2030 household forecast by a total of 2,000 units. • Reduction in the City's affordable housing goal from 1,275 to 560 units.
