t Sd. <br /> 111 PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> MEMO <br /> To: Mounds View Planning Commission, <br /> From: Rick Jopke, Community Development Director <br /> Subject: Request for Extension of Comprehensive Plan Submittal Deadline <br /> Date: October 30, 1998 <br /> As I previously discussed with the Planning Commission, I have talked to Metropolitan Council <br /> staff members about the possibility of an extension to the December 31, 1998 deadline to submit <br /> an updated comprehensive plan. They indicated that over half of the communities in the <br /> metropolitan area have or will be requesting an extension. These extensions will range from two <br /> to nine months. Attached are the forms that the City will have to complete to request an <br /> extension. The City Council will also have to pass a resolution requesting the extension. <br /> The following would be a revised process and schedule for completion of the updated <br /> comprehensive plan. A draft plan will be completed by January 29, 1999. The Planning <br /> • Commission could then hold one or two community forums in February to present the draft to <br /> the community. The Planning Commission could hold a formal public hearing in March and <br /> recommend adoption by the City Council. The City Council could hold a public hearing in <br /> March or April and approve the updated Comprehensive Plan for submittal to the Metropolitan <br /> Council and adjacent communities in April or May. The Metropolitan Council then has 60 days <br /> to approve the plan or suggest changes. The City Council could then formally adopt the plan. <br /> Copies of information which I have received from the Metropolitan Council staff concerning <br /> extensions is attached for your information. I have also attached a copy of a resolution that the <br /> City Council will have to pass requesting the extension. <br /> STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council pass a <br /> resolution requesting a 6 month extension to the deadline for submittal of an updated <br /> comprehensive plan and directing staff to complete and submit the necessary paperwork to the <br /> Metropolitan Council. <br /> N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV\PLANCOMM\10-30C-9.MEM <br />
