Land Use Alternatives for the Hugo <br />Comprehensive Plan Update <br />DATE: June 13, 2007 for the June 20, 2007 Workshop <br />1. BACKGROUND: <br />The Metropolitan Land Plan Act requires cities to update their comprehensive plans <br />every 10 years. The updated comprehensive plans are due in 2008. <br />The City Council has approved a process and timeline for the Comprehensive Plan <br />update that includes a number of open houses and public meetings with the City <br />Council and Commissions. The 5 key phases of the process are: <br />1. Background Inventory & Analysis — Establishing baseline information (in process) <br />2. Issue Identification, Goal & Policy Setting - Creating a framework for the plans <br />(current stage) <br />3. Alternatives Development, Land Use and Growth <br />4. Implementation Plan <br />5. Submission to the Met Council <br />We are now beginning the alternatives development stage of the Comprehensive Plan <br />process. <br />2. WORKSHOP OUTCOMES: <br />This workshop will build upon the work completed at the April 26th and May 23rd <br />workshop discussions of the draft Goals and Strategies. The format for the June 20th <br />workshop will be more formal than the last 2 workshops. Staff will provide a formal <br />presentation and there will be some interactive sessions where audience participation is <br />expected. We will be asking individuals to begin looking at different types of <br />development and different land use alternatives. We will close the meeting with an open <br />forum for any additional discussion and outline the next steps. <br />
