RESOLUTION REQUESTING ADDITIONAL TIME
WITHIN WHICH TO COMPLETE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
"DECENNIAL" REVIEW AND UPDATE OBLIGATIONS
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes section 473.864 requires local governmental units to review and, if
necessary, amend their entire comprehensive plans and their fiscal devices and official controls at least once
every ten years to ensure comprehensive plans conform with metropolitan system plans and ensure fiscal
devices and official controls do not conflict with comprehensive plans; and
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes sections 473.858 and 473.864 require local governmental units to complete
their "decennial" reviews by December 31, 2018; and
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes section 473.864 authorizes the Metropolitan Council to grant extensions to
local governmental units to allow local governmental units additional time within which to complete the
"decennial" review and amendments; and
WHEREAS, any extensions granted by the Metropolitan Council must include a timetable and plan for
completing the review and amendment; and
WHEREAS, at its November 15, 2018 meeting the Metropolitan Council authorized its staff to
administratively review and grant extensions if extension requests are submitted by December 21, 2018;
and
WHEREAS, extensions for completing decennial updates do not change any due dates for surface water
management plans or water supply plans; and
WHEREAS, the City will not be able to complete its "decennial" review by December 31, 2018 for the
following reasons:
1. The six-month adjacent jurisdiction review ended October 25, 2018. Staff is working on
reviewing, responding, and revising the 2040 Comprehensive Plan based on the comments.
2. The Metropolitan Council completed a preliminary review of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and
provided comments to the City. The Metropolitan Council has asked for additional information
and suggested revisions to the plan. Staff is continuing to meet with the Metropolitan Council staff
to go over the suggested revisions and revise the 2040 Comprehensive Plan as necessary.
WHEREAS, the City Council finds it is appropriate to request from the Metropolitan Council an extension
so the City can have additional time to complete and submit to the Metropolitan Council for review an
updated comprehensive plan and amend its fiscal devices and official controls.
NOW, THERFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, after appropriate examination and due consideration, the
governing body of the City:
1. The Community Development Director or designee is directed to submit to the Metropolitan Council
no later than May 31, 2018 a letter requesting an extension to June 30, 2019.
2. The Community Development Director or designee must include with the request a reasonably detailed
timetable and plan for completing the review and amendment by December 21, 2018.
ADOPTED by the City Council this 3rd day of December, 2018.
