Comp Plan Amendment Report Feb 2, 2005 Page 2 The internal process of preparing and approving a comp plan future land use amendment is fairly straightforward—the Planning Commission would hold a public hearing and consider the proposed designation for the site, forwarding the recommendation back to the City Council for final approval. The City Council has opted to forward the amendment directly to the Met Council PRIOR to Council approval, which would provide the City Council with an opportunity to accept or reject the amendment after sufficient time has passed to assess the current redevelopment proposal or any subsequent proposal. The City’s consultant on this project, RLK-Kuusisto, LTD., has prepared the Met Council amendment application (originally provided to the Commission for the Jan 19, 2005 meeting) and will be present at the meeting to discuss the application and answer any questions of the Commission or attending public. Once the amendment is approved and after redevelopment takes place, further text amendments would be necessary to remove references to a city golf course, adjust acreage totals and amend other maps or exhibits. The following list represents pages of the Comprehensive Plan that will likely need amendment or clarification once development has occurred: Comp Plan Pages for future update: 32 - Figure 6 - Future Land Use Map 33 - Figure 7 - Existing and Future Land Use Comparison 37 - Future Lane Use 39 - Land Uses Map Changes 62 - Parks and Open Space 64 - Table 19 Community Facilities (71.4 acres SRO being changed to 71.4 Office) 66 - Figure 10 - Community Facilities Map 68 - Figure 12 - Sanitary Sewer System 82 - Trails 83 - Figure 16 - 1997 MSAS and Projected 2020 Traffic Volumes 107 - CRP (top of page) 114 - Appendix B: Proposed Land Use Designation Changes It should be reiterated that the only change being considered is to the Future Land use Map, relative to the golf course site, from SRO (Outdoor Sport and Recreation) and OSP (Passive Open Space) to OFC (Office). Recommendation: Hold the public hearing, review and consider the attached amendment application and resolution which recommends approval of the comp plan future land use map amendment. Upon adoption of the resolution, the consultant will submit the amendment application to the Met Council for their consideration. ________________________ James Ericson Community Development Director
