Comp Plan Amendment Report May 23, 2005 Page 2 The internal process of preparing and approving a comp plan future land use amendment is fairly straightforward—at the direction of the Council, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and considered the existing and potential designations for the site, forwarding their recommendation back to the City Council for final approval. The City Council opted to forward the amendment directly on to the Met Council PRIOR to Council approval to expedite Met Council review and approval. RLK prepared the Met Council amendment application and helped staff to address Met Council concerns regarding the proposed change. At its April 27, 2005 meeting, the Met Council reviewed the City’s Comprehensive Plan Amendment proposing to change the land use designation of the golf course from OSP and SRO to OFC. The Met Council found that the amendment conformed to the regional system plans for aviation, recreation open space, transportation and water resources management; was consistent with the 2030 Regional Development Framework and compatible with the plans of adjacent jurisdictions. Recommendation: Hold the public hearing and consider Resolution 6540 approving the future land use map amendment of the golf course from OSP and SRO to OFC. If the amendment is approved and after redevelopment has commenced, Comp Plan text amendments would be necessary to remove references to a city golf course, adjust acreage totals and amend other maps or exhibits. Staff will seek a cost estimate from RLK as to how much time would be needed to make the Comp Plan internally consistent with the new land use designation. (Refer to Attachment “A” for a list of pages within the Comp Plan that will likely need to be revised as a result of the amendment and redevelopment.) ________________________ James Ericson Community Development Director
