• PLANNING COMMISSION MEMO <br /> To: Mounds View Planning Commission, <br /> From: Rick Jopke, Community Development Director <br /> Subject: Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element <br /> Date: October 1, 1998 <br /> The Planning Commission began its discussion of the draft land use element of the comprehensive <br /> plan on September 23rd. I have attached a copy of the revisions that were discussed at that meeting. <br /> Discussion of the draft land use element will continue at the October 7, 1998 Planning Commission <br /> meeting. It would be my goal to complete the discussion of the land use element on October 7th so <br /> that discussions can begin on the housing element at the October 14th special meeting. <br /> Currently my goal is to have a completed draft of the Comprehensive Plan by the end of the year. <br /> After the first of the year, I would like to have another series of community forums to present the <br /> draft plan to citizens. Following the forums, the Planning Commission could then recommend a <br /> Comprehensive Plan to the City Council. The City Council would then hold a public hearing and <br /> approve the Comprehensive Plan subject to Metropolitan Council review. Following Metropolitan <br /> Council review the plan would be officially adopted. <br /> I have been asked to provide an update to the City Council at their October 12, 1998 meeting <br /> • concerning the comprehensive plan. What I would like to do is to give a general overview of the <br /> process and then review the draft land use element in more detail. It would be helpful to have as <br /> many planning commission members as possible at the meeting to participate in the discussion. As <br /> additional sections are completed in the future, they could also be presented to the City Council in a <br /> similar manner. <br /> Three additional areas of the land use map should be discussed in more detail. These include the <br /> following: <br /> 1. Harstad site at County Rd. H-2 and Long Lake Rd. The site is currently shown as low <br /> density residential. Should it be changed to allow higher density residential <br /> development? <br /> 2. The area between the golf course and Sysco. Should the long term land use be passive <br /> open space or could there be additional development i.e. industrial or golf course? <br /> 3. The area south and east of Ardan Park. Could that area be developed for additional <br /> residential uses? <br /> STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff recommends that the Planning Commission complete its review of the draft land use element <br /> and discuss the process to review the plan with the City Council. <br /> • N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV\PLANCOMM\10-7-98.MEM <br />
