Mounds View along with a <br />majority of the cammunities were granted extensions to that deadline. Mounds View must now <br />have its plan submitted to ihe Meiropolitan Council by June 30, 1999. <br />The current Comprehensive Plan dates back to 1979. There have been a number of amendmsnts <br />propased and discussed since then but appear to have not been adopted. The approach which <br />\" staff and the T'lanning CoYnxriission have talcen is to update the existing Comprehensive Plan <br />rather than starting completely over. More emphasis is being placed on maintenance and <br />impxovement of existing land uses than oi� new development, hawever. <br />Cu�°r�r�t Co�nprehensive Plan �ummaryo <br />Each commissioner should have a copy of the J 998 Camprehensive Plan Update working <br />document.

The following is a listing and staius of the major elements of the dacuxnenfi: <br />Communi Forums: The suminary of the community forums hald earlier this year is <br />inciuded in the current draft. It is anticipated that an introductory chapter will be <br />drafted which will discuss the intent of the document and sitmmarize the citizen input <br />and approval process which the City used.. The community forum summary will be an <br />attachment to document. <br />2. Communit Back round: This element is optional according to Met Council <br />Guidelines. This element is an inventory of various �spects of the conununity including <br />its history, the physical environment of the community, and ihe demograpkuics of the <br />commuruty. Staff is working on a nuinber of maps which need to be included in the <br />element. We aiso hope to update some of the statistical information based on the <br />
