Consideration of Resolution 07 -26 Approving
Comprehensive Plan Update Process and
Establishing the Comprehensive Plan Advisory
Panel
With the completion of the Spotlight on 2030 Community Visioning Process the
City is preparing to commence with the 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update.
DSU, Inc. was previously retained by the City to facilitate this process. The
process is proposed to commence in March and result in the completion of a
draft plan by May of 2008. Following a required 6 month adjacent jurisdiction
review period the plan would be submitted for Metropolitan Council review in
November of 2008.
The entire process is broken down into 6 phases as follows:
Phase 1
Phase 2
Phase 3
Phase 4
Phase 5
Phase 6
Information Gathering and Project Initiation
Goals & Policies
Alternatives Analysis
Draft Plan Preparation
Agency and Adjacent Jurisdiction Review
Metropolitan Council Review and City Adoption of Final Plan
Public open houses are proposed during Phase 3 and 4. The required public
hearing on the draft plan will be held at the end of Phase 4. In addition to the
public open houses information will be available on the City's web site. We are
anticipating all work to be posted on the website as it is completed. Staff is also
proposing to supplement this with newsletter articles and press releases.
Approximately 1 year has been added to the process from what was originally
anticipated. This is due in part to the timing of the completed visioning process
and increasing public participation in the process.
A core component of the public participation process is the establishment of a
Comprehensive Plan Advisory Panel. Staff is proposing a 30 member advisory
panel consisting of the following:
•
•
•
1. Planning and Zoning Board (7)
2. 3 members from Environmental Board, EDAC, and Parks Board (9)
3. 9 representatives from the 2030 Visioning Committee
4. 5 residents to be selected by the City Council
The advisory panel will be supplemented by our consultant team and the
technical review committee consisting of City staff and representation from other
governmental agencies as necessary.
The Comprehensive Plan Update process is proposed to commence with a Kick-
off meeting on March 7, 2007. This meeting will include the City Council, all
advisory board members, and the advisory panel. Representatives from other
governmental agencies will also be invited. The purpose of the meeting is to
review the planning process, schedule, and an executive summary of existing
conditions /background report. The Rice Creek Watershed District will also be
presenting an overview of the Resource Management Plan component of the
process. The first advisory panel meeting is proposed for March 21St
