18 Mayor Bergeson noted that the purpose of this special meeting is to continue review of
19 the Draft 2030 Comprehensive Plan (the Plan). He also noted that Community
20 Development Director Grochala was directed to meet with the Metropolitan Council and
21 put some numbers together for the council to review. The council would like to see
22 where there are differences and how far they run.
23 Community Development Director Grochala reported that staff did meet with the
24 Metropolitan Council staff the previous week. Regarding density, three units an acre is
25 not negotiable (they would like to see it even higher but will not go down on the number)
26 so staff is working on how those numbers can be calculated appropriately; they are not
27 including in calculations some areas that are to remain unsewered. The end result of all
28 the calculations will be meeting the requirement (3.0)but there will be some recalculation
29 and rebuilding of equations involved. Staff is attempting to have maps indicating that
30 level available for the upcoming joint meeting with the Comprehensive Plan Advisory
31 Panel scheduled for January 21, 2009. Regarding the use of a density bonus element,
32 staff still intends to incorporate something into the ordinances. There is a list of elements
33 that would be included such as more open space or green building but the city should
34 attempt o keep as many things in the toolbox as an ordinance is put together.
35 Responding to a question about pace, staff pointed to the five year phasing plan that
36 includes a thorough review. Much control lies in phasing.
37 Staff will continue to update the Plan according to council direction. Community
38 Development Grochala noted that comments are coming in from other jurisdictions that
39 have reviewed the Plan. There have been some requests for changes in the Plan received
40 (individual property owners, etc) and staff intends to present those to the council. A
41 council member suggested that there should be a public hearing at the end of the review
42 process since the Plan has changed.
