Originally this was to be done by December 31, 1998. <br />Mounds View was granted an extension to this deadline to allow submittal by June 30, 1999. While <br />progress has been made the update of the comprehensive plan is not complete. Therefore an additional <br />extension will be necessary. <br />To date the Planning Commission has completed discussion of initial drafts of the community <br />background, land use, housing, community facilities, and transportation sections of the plan. The EDC <br />is currently working on a draft of the economic development section. Once they have completed their <br />work the draft economic development section will be presented to the Planning Commission for <br />incorporation into the comprehensive plan. Staff will then complete the implementation section and <br />produce a complete draft comprehensive plan for review by the Planning Commission. Once that <br />review is complete, the Planning Commission will present the draft plan to the community at <br />informational forums prior to holding a formal public hearing. After the hearing, the Planning <br />Commission will recommend a comprehensive plan to the City Council. The City Council will then be <br />asked to review the document and approve its release the Metropolitan Council and adjacent <br />communities for review. Following approval by the Metropolitan Council, the City Council will then <br />need to formally the plan. <br />A copy of Resolution No. 5343 requesting an additional 6 month extension is attached for City Council <br />consideration. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the City Council pass Resolution No. 5343 requesting a additional 6 month <br />extension to the deadline for submittal of an updated comprehensive plan and directing staff to <br />complete and submit the necessary paperwork to the Metropolitan Council. <br />" dv�e�� <br />Rick Jopke, Com unity Development Director <br />
