it is not clear what is meant by developable areas that are guided as Agriculture, since this is contrary to the objective of this guiding land use. City Response: The table in the Comprehensive Plan has been updated. Summary of Comments for Completeness: On page 179, the City provides a forecast allocation by TAZ that is "based on the City of Hugo Land Use Plan as detailed in Chapter K. " The City needs to provide a TAZ allocation based on planned land uses that is consistent with adopted forecasts and informed by land use staging by decade. City Response: The staging of the land use by TAZ is illustrated in Table 8-9. The forecasts projections are based on anticipated growth for in each TAZ. No changes were made. Summary of Comments for Completeness: On page 40, the Plan describes the use of the Future Urban Service District, a zoning district that represents "transition areas that are physically eligible, fiscally practical, and generally suitable for future staging of urban services." Prior to providing urban services, these areas are guided with a residential density of 1 dwelling unit per 10 acres. This is inconsistent with statements on page 52, Growth Management Policies, which describe limiting development within the 2040 MUSA to one unit per 20 acres or less density. The City's intended policies should be consistently referenced throughout the Plan. City Response: The text was amended to address this comment. Summary of Comments for Completeness: Page 60, High Density Residential. There is inconsistency between the density range stated in the text and the range stated in the accompanying table. Allowed density ranges for land use categories need to be consistently referenced throughout the Plan. City Response: The text was corrected Summary of Advisory Comment: Page 33, Land Use: The 2010 Generalized Land Use map does not use the most current available data. Other representations of existing land use are in Figure 3 under the Water Resources Management Plan and Figure 9 of the Wellhead Protection Plan. We recommend consistently using the Metropolitan Council's Generalized Land Use 2016 dataset, which is available on the Minnesota Geospatial Commons at the following link: https.Ilpisdata.mn.gov/datasetlus-mn-state-metc-plan-penerl-Induse2016 City Response: The Comprehensive Plan document was updated to include this new data. Summary of Advisory Comment: Page 34, Table 2-6 Hugo Land use: This table should be adjusted based on 2016 data, which is addressed in the previous comment. You may wish to consider sorting the table from largest use of land to smallest rather than alphabetically. City Response: The Comprehensive Plan document was updated to include this new data. Summary of Advisory Comment: Representation of Land Use Policy: Figure 11 from the Wellhead Protection Plan refers to 2030 Planned Land Use rather than the 2040 Planned Land Use. Also, the Draft 2040 Land Use Plan and Figure 4 from the Water Resources Management Plan represent future land uses differently. Maps that represent planned land uses should be consistent throughout the Plan. City Response: The maps were reviewed and updated. Summary of Advisory Comment: Page 34, Land Use Categories: This section includes use of the terms "category" as well Corrin Wendell March 4, 2019
