) FA Ma il th_ou y y e (.% MEMORANDUM To: Parks Commission Planning Commission From: Breanne Rothstein, AICP, City Planner Date: June 5, 2017 Joint Planning /Parks Meeting WSB Project No. 02170 -230 Request: Comprehensive Plan Update and Review of Executive Summary BACKGROUND The City of St. Anthony is statutorily required to update its Comprehensive Plan every 10 years, due in 2018. As part of the update process, the city decided to undertake extensive community engagement. The first round of engagement, held in 2016, included talking to the Parks and Planning Commission, holding several public meetings, attending the wine event at the liquor store to talk with people, conducting meetings at the rental apartment sites (in conjunction with Community Education classes and property management companies), the schools, with the business community, and hosting a website and online community engagement page through MySidewalk. Through that process, the city collected a lot of valuable information about the desired direction of the community. Over the past few months, staff has worked with the steering committee to compile goals and policies, and draft plan documents for the comprehensive plan. It was desired that another round of community engagement be held this summer outlining these documents and getting feedback. Therefore, staff has compiled an executive summary of the plan, to be vetted at the public at Village Fest (and other venues). CONTENTS OF THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Staff used the themes of the city's strategic plan, combined with comments from the community and supporting data or demographic information, to align the comprehensive plan executive summary to the interests, desires, and initiatives of the community as a whole. This executive summary DOES NOT include everything in the plan, or even provide a full summary of the plan, but instead focuses on the most important themes, trends, and desires of the community. Please see the attached slides for a detailed overview of the executive summary. RECOMMENDED ACTION Staff recommends review of the draft comprehensive plan executive summary, and provide comments, as necessary. Staff will then publish this document and complete another round of community engagement by vetting this poster at various events throughout the city.
