City of Mounds View Comprehensive Plan <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />105 <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br />Background <br /> <br />To assist in the updating of the comprehensive plan, the Mounds View Planning <br />Commission conducted three community forums. The Planning Commission conducted <br />these forums to help Mounds View citizens understand what the comprehensive plan is <br />and most importantly to give citizens a chance to talk about what Mounds View should <br />be like in the future. Forums were held on February 11, 1998 for people who live north of <br />Highway 10, on March 11, 1998 for the Highway 10 corridor, and on April 8, 1998 for <br />people who live south of Highway 10. <br /> <br />Notices of the forums were mailed to all property owners in the in the City. Notices were <br />distributed to apartments and to mobile home parks. Additional notice was provided <br />through articles in newspapers and in the Mounds View Matters. Nineteen citizens <br />attended the first forum, thirty-eight citizens attended the second forum, and twenty-eight <br />citizens attended the third forum. <br /> <br />During the forums city staff presented information on what a comprehensive plan is, <br />what the required elements of the comprehensive plan are, what the current <br />comprehensive plan and zoning designations are, what some of the housing and other <br />issues are, and what the process for updating the comprehensive plan will be. Following <br />the staff presentations, small group discussions were held to hear citizen concerns, <br />comments, issues, etc. A Planning Commission member was present in each of the small <br />groups to listen and to facilitate the discussions. At the end of the forums, each Planning <br />Commission member summarized the discussions in their groups. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
