As part of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan update, the City has held several meetings with residents, Commissions, and Council to gather feedback and understand community priorities and what has changed since that time. 2. Summary Summary of Planning Commission Meetings On June 1, 2017 Planning Commission reviewed feedback from the April 19, 2017 Open House and from the workshop presented by the Urban Land Institute on May 16, 2017 called "Navigating Your Competitive Future." Feedback indicated that there were no significant issues for the City since the 2008 update. On June 13, 2017, the City held a Public Open House that focused on planned services for Eastern Hugo. At this time, the Metropolitan Council is not planning services for Eastern Hugo. Residents were asked to provide feedback on whether services should be provided and proposed densities of land development. As a result of the open house feedback, the City determined that in order to make a decision about development design and densities, additional information about the feasibility of providing services to Eastern Hugo was necessary, and that a feasibility study will be listed as an implementation step in the 2040 Land Use Plan. On August 10, 2017, Planning Commission reviewed the overall direction of the Land Use Plan and confirmed key study areas. A summary of the study areas and key updates is provided below. Updates to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan The results of community feedback indicated that the community is on track and that no major updates to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan are required.
