PLAN NING COMMISSION MEMO <br />To: Mounds View Planning Commission, <br />From: Rick Jopke, Community Development Director <br />Subject: Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element <br />Date: October 1, 1998 <br />The Planning Commission began its discussion of the draft land use element of the comprehensive <br />plan on September 23rd. I have attached a copy of the revisions that were discussed at that meeting. <br />Discussion of the draft land use element will continue at the October 7, 1998 Planning Commission <br />meeting. It would be my goal to complete the discussion of the land use element on October 7th so <br />that discussions can begin on the housing element at the October loth special meeting. <br />Currently my goal is to have a completed draft of the Comprehensive Plan by the end of the year. <br />After the first of the year, I would like to have another series of community forums to present the <br />draft plan to citizens. Following the forums, the Planning Commission could then recommend a <br />Comprehensive Plan to the City Council. The City Council would then hold a public hearing and <br />approve the Comprehensive Plan subject to Metropolitan Council review. Following Metropolitan <br />Council review the plan would be officially adopted. <br />I have been asked to provide an update to the City Council at their October 12, 1998 meeting <br />concerning the comprehensive plan. What I would like to do is to give a general overview of the <br />process and then review the draft land use element in more detail. It would be helpful to have as <br />many planning commission members as possible at the meeting to participate in the discussion. As <br />additional sections are completed in the future, they could also be presented to the City Council in a <br />similar manner. <br />Three additional areas of the land use map should be discussed in more detail. These include the <br />following: <br />1. Harstad site at County Rd. H -2 and Long Lake Rd. The site is currently shown as low <br />density residential. Should it be changed to allow higher density residential <br />development? <br />2. The area between the golf course and Sysco. Should the long term land use be passive <br />open space or could there be additional development i.e. industrial or golf course? <br />3. The area south and east of Ardan Park. Could that area be developed for additional <br />residential uses? <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Planning Commission complete its review of the draft land use element <br />and discuss the process to review the plan with the City Council. <br />N:IDATAIG ROU PS\COMDEVIPLANCOMM1110- 7- 98.MEM <br />
