The following is a listing and status of the major elements of the document: <br /> 1. Community Forums: The summary of the community forums held earlier this year is <br /> included in the current draft. It is anticipated that an introductory chapter will be <br /> drafted which will discuss the intent of the document and summarize the citizen input <br /> and approval process which the City used. The community forum summary will be an <br /> attachment to document. <br /> 2. Community Background: This element is optional according to Met Council <br /> Guidelines. This element is an inventory of various aspects of the community including <br /> its history,the physical environment of the community, and the demographics of the <br /> community. Staff is working on a number of maps which need to be included in the <br /> element. We also hope to update some of the statistical information based on the <br /> studies that are currently underway by the I35W Corridor Coalition. A great deal of the <br /> statistical information in the document is based on 1990 census data and may be out of <br /> date. <br /> 3. Land Use Element: This element is a required by Met Council Guidelines. The land <br /> use element includes general land use, residential, commercial, and industrial goals and <br /> policies, a future land use plan, and discussion of surface water management,historic <br /> site preservation and solar access protection. The Planning Commission has completed <br /> its review of the draft element. Major provisions of the current draft include: <br /> a. A new land use classification system based on the I35W Corridor Coalition <br /> system. <br /> b. The existing land use pattern should be maintained with some changes. These <br /> changes would include allowing additional commercial development to occur <br /> along Highway 10 in mixed use planned unit developments on the north end of <br /> the City and through commercial and industrial planned unit developments on <br /> the south end of the City. Over the long term,the plan would allow for the <br /> future redevelopment of manufactured home parks to medium density housing <br />
