City of Mounds View Comprehensive Plan <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Chapter 9: Implementation <br /> <br />9-8 <br />City Staff <br /> <br />The Community Development Department will administer the Plan at the direction of the Clerk- <br />Administrator. The Comprehensive Plan addresses a wide range of city activities. Therefore, the <br />administration of the Plan will require participation from all city departments. The Community <br />Development Department staff will coordinate the administration of the plan with these departments. <br /> <br />Citizen Involvement <br /> <br />Broad-based citizen participation in the planning process is important to the success of the <br />Comprehensive Plan. Citizen participation was essential during the formation of this plan. This <br />participation should not end with the adoption of the plan. It is important that the citizens have a sense <br />of ownership for the City to carry out the plan. With this ownership, citizens will ensure that the plan <br />will remain intact over time and not have major changes as local officials come and go. When there is a <br />need for changes, the City desires to have citizen involvement in the amendment process to ensure the <br />plan meets the changing needs of the citizens and of the city. The City Council also should encourage <br />citizen involvement during the review of development and redevelopment projects. <br /> <br />Other <br /> <br />1. Annually assess progress in implementing the Comprehensive Plan and identify any <br />issues that may require plan amendments. <br /> <br />2. Formally review the Comprehensive Plan every five years to ensure it remains current <br />and relevant for the City. <br /> <br />3. Continually address and improve the methods of communicating with Mounds View <br />residents and businesses. <br /> <br />4. Use the city website to provide the most current information and resources. <br /> <br />Official Controls <br /> <br />State law requires the official city controls conform to the Comprehensive Plan. Official controls mean <br />City ordinances or policies. The Zoning Code and subdivision ordinances are the most common <br />examples. The City is not expecting to make any changes to the Zoning Code or subdivision <br />ordinances as they conform to the Comprehensive Plan, however, the City will review these ordinances <br />to determine if there are any inconsistencies with the Comprehensive Plan. If necessary, the City will <br />amend the ordinances to address any inconsistencies and to help implement the Comprehensive Plan.
