Mounds View Planning Commission October 1, 2008 Regular Meeting Page 3 ________________________________________________________________________ Planning Associate Heller stated the lot may have been full because of the overlap of an event and the park and ride. The park and ride has 43 spots in the front lot but the lot behind the Mermaid could have been empty. Commissioner Walsh-Kaczmarek asked if the park and ride was going to be eliminated. Planning Associate Heller stated that neither staff nor the Planning Commission has required that the park and ride be removed at this point, although the City Council could make that recommendation. Staff noted that businesses would only hurt their own operations by not having sufficient parking. Planning Associate Heller stated the resolution before the Planning Commission tonight is for the revised preliminary plat only. MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Gunn/Commissioner Lang.

Other Planning Activity A. 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update Community Development Director Roberts stated since the last meeting there was a mailing to the Planning Commission with updated documents and information for the comprehensive plan. He stated there were no new documents in this packet. He stated the City is waiting on the transportation and public facilities chapters that are being reviewed by the City Engineering consultant. Chair Stevenson indicated he has gone through the new plan thoroughly and asked that the page numbering be similar to the numbering system of the city code. He stated he has studied the maps and indicated they are great. He questioned the existing land use map and the missing designation of developable residential lots. He suggested a different color or hash marks to assist in designating the developable lots. Community Development Director Roberts stated the future land use map should remain the same. He suggested creating another map and having the whole map white except for the developable lots and making them a different color or hash marks. He asked if the map should be just residential or both residential and commercial. Chair Stevenson stated the commercial and industrial lots are well designated on the existing maps. Commissioner Walsh-Kaczmarek questioned the natural features on the new map compared to the old map. She noticed a few of the natural resources were missing or smaller on the new map.
