OTHER BUSINESS. 20 21 IX.1 COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN 22 23 Mr. Bill Weber, City Planning Consultant,provided a presentation on the Draft City of St. 24 Anthony Comprehensive Plan Update dated October 2008. 25 26 Commissioner Jenson questioned what has changed since the last presentation the Commission 27 received on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Mr. Weber stated a plan was submitted to the 28 Metropolitan Council for review last winter. However, the City Council requested that a revised 29 population forecast be submitted to the Metropolitan Council on the regional forecast, and that 30 the Comprehensive Plan be recast entirely with that revised regional forecast. Mr. Weber 31 explained that the Metropolitan Council did not want the Comprehensive Plan resubmitted until 32 the Water Supply Plan was also approved. This has been done and staff is now able to submit the 33 Comprehensive Plan to the Metropolitan Council for approval. The Comprehensive Plan will be 34 presented to the City Council at the next Council meeting and will then be submitted to the 35 Metropolitan Council. The Metropolitan Council has a couple months to review the document, 36 and it can then be formally be adopted by the City Council. 37 38 Commissioner Goodwin inquired about the date of the last public hearing on the Comprehensive 39 Plan. Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes replied it was approximately 12 months ago. 40 41 Commissioner Goodwin questioned if there is any merit in holding another a public hearing 42 before the Comprehensive Plan is approved by the City Council based on further development of 43 the Plan. Commissioner Jenson noted in addition to the public hearing, an open house was held 44 at City Hall. Assistant City Manager Moore-Sykes stated the Metropolitan Council has indicated 45 that another public hearing is not necessary unless substantive changes have occurred in the 46 Comprehensive Plan.
