The Taskforce will focus on (1) maps, and (2) goals, policies, and implementation strategies. It is Staffs intent that each goal (broad) will be supported by policies (more specific), and implementation strategies (very specific) to be included in the City's five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), when applicable. If a goal or policy cannot be implemented, Staff will discourage it from being included in the plan. If the Taskforce generates ideas that cannot be implemented by the City (e.g, improving student achievement), these ideas can be further developed outside of the Taskforce. The Comprehensive Plan will be written by Staff with mapping assistance from Stantec (consultant). Due to time limitations of Staff, the Comprehensive Plan will largely be an update of data, with attention given to redevelopment opportunities. Another way to think about it is what has changed in the past ten years, and what is likely to change during the next ten years. Those "likely" changes are what Staff intends for the Taskforce to focus on. Since 2008, significant developments have included: 2006-2018: Red Oak Estates (Attached Single -Family) 2009-2017: Reconstruction of 80% of the city's streets (municipal) 2015: Bio-Life (Commercial) 2015: Belle Rae Assisted Living (Multi -Family) 2015: Long Lake Estates (Single -Family) 2017: Public Works Facility (municipal) Most of these developments occurred along the Mounds View Blvd corridor. The corridor includes properties likely to be redeveloped within the next ten years if the economy continues, and if developers (or the City) are able to assemble smaller properties into larger projects (e.g. Crossroad Pointe). Redevelopment opportunities are limited by the availability of land, and is influenced by what is happening in neighboring communities. Within the next 20 years, depending on TCAAP, I believe that significant redevelopment will occur connecting TCAAP to Mounds View Blvd. This is a "game changer', which comprehensive plans are intended to address. For example, if the 20-year goal is to create a town center -like atmosphere, should a short-term use include auto dealerships and self -storage? Once again, at the commission's November meetings, each Commission is asked to recommend two of its members for this Taskforce. The Taskforce will meet once or twice per month, January thru May (est.). The Taskforce will be presented with maps and data, and asked to consider if and how redevelopment should be guided over the next 10 and 20 years. The Comprehensive Plan is intended to be realistic and able to be implemented by the City Council. If you know of someone who would be perfect for one of the two At -Large positions, feel free to share this memo with them, and forward their contact information to Jon Sevald, (763) 717-4022 or ion. sevaldAci.mound s-view.mn.us.
