MEMORANDUM:
TO: Todd Gerhardt, City Manager
FROM: Kate Aanenson, AICP, Community Development Director
DATE: February 8, 2016 01[4��'
SUBJECT: Discuss Process for 2040 Comprehensive Plan
BACKGROUND
The Metropolitan Council's role in Comprehensive Planning originates from the
Metropolitan Land Planning Planning&473). There are several responsibilities outlined in
statute that the Council must fulfill. They are:
• Develop a comprehensive development guide for the metropolitan area.
• Adopt long-range comprehensive system plans for transportation, wastewater
treatment, parks,—and water resources. - -
• Carry out planning activities addressing the water supply needs of the
metropolitan area.
• Review comprehensive plans of local governmental units.
• Provide services for and assistance with comprehensive community planning.
The regional planning process starts after the U.S. decennial census is complete. This
information, along with the most recently adopted local comprehensive plans, informs
the regional development guide which sets the vision and land use policies that are
carried forward in the regional system and policy plans.

The Council adopted Thrive MSP 2040 as the new regional development guide on May 28,
2014. Thrive identifies five outcomes that set the policy direction for the region's system and
policy plans. Building on our region's history of effective stewardship of our resources, Thrive
envisions a prosperous, equitable, and livable region that is sustainable for today and generations
to come. The Council is directing its operations, plans, policies, programs, and resources toward
achieving this shared long-term vision.
Three principles define the Council's approach to implementing regional policy: integration,
collaboration, and accountability. These principles reflect the Council's roles in integrating
policy areas, supporting local governments and regional partners, and promoting and
implementing the regional vision. The principles define the Council's approach to policy
implementation and set expectations on how the Council interacts with local governments.
Thrive also outlines seven land use policies and community designations important for local
comprehensive planning updates. The land use policies establish a series of commitments from
the Council for local governments and uses community designations to shape development
policies for- communities.--Community-designations-group jurisdictionswithsimilar- -
characteristics based on urban or rural character for the application of regional policies.
Together, the land use policies and community designations help to implement the region's
vision by setting expectations for development density and the character of development
throughout the region.

System Statement Definition
Metropolitan system plans are long-range comprehensive plans for the regional system's transit,
highways, and airports; wastewater services; and parks and open space -along with the capital
budgets for metropolitan wastewater services, transportation, and regional recreation open space.
System statements explain the implications of metropolitan system plans for each individual
community in the metropolitan area. They are intended to help communities prepare or update
their comprehensive plan, as required by the Metropolitan Land Planning Act:

Within nine months after receiving a system statement for an amendment to a
metropolitan system plan, and within three years after receiving a system statement
issued in conjunction with the decennial review required under section 473.864,
subdivision 2, each affected local governmental unit shall review its comprehensive plan
to determine if an amendment is necessary to ensure continued conformity with
metropolitan system plans. If an amendment is necessary, the governmental unit shall
prepare the amendment and submit it to the council for review.
Local comprehensive plans, and amendments, will be reviewed by the Council for conformance
to metropolitan system plans, consistency with Council policies, and compatibility with adjacent
and affected governmental units. Updated local comprehensive plans are due to the Council for
review by December 31, 2018.
Community Designation
Community designations group jurisdictions with similar characteristics for the application of
-- -- - regional policies. The-Counciluses-communitydesignations-to guide regionalgrowthand -
development; establish land use expectations including overall development densities and
patterns; and outline the respective roles of the Council and individual communities, along with
strategies for planning for forecasted growth. If there are discrepancies between the Thrive MSP
2040 Community Designations Map and the Community Designation map contained herein
because of adjustments and refinements that occurred subsequent to the adoption of Thrive,
communities should follow the specific guidance contained in this System Statement.
Thrive identifies Chanhassen with the community designation of Emerging Suburban Edge.
Emerging Suburban Edge communities include cities, townships and portions of both that are in
the early stages of transitioning into urbanized levels of development. Emerging Suburban Edge
communities are expected to plan for forecasted population and household growth at average
densities of at least 3-5 units per acre for new development and redevelopment. In addition,
Emerging Suburban Edge communities are expected to target opportunities for more intensive
development near regional transit investments at densities and in a manner articulated in the
2040 Transportation Policy Plan.
Forecasts
The Council uses the forecasts developed as part of Thrive to plan for regional systems.
Communities should base their planning work on these forecasts. Given the nature of long-range
forecasts and the planning timeline undertaken by most communities, the Council will maintain
ongoing dialogue with communities to consider any changes in growth trends or community
expectations about growth that may have an impact on regional systems. The Thrive forecasts for
population, households, and employment for your community are:

Local Comprehensive Plans
Minnesota Statute requires certain topic areas to be included in local comprehensive plans. The
Local Planning Handbook is organized around these Plan Elements and provides guidance on
how to meet requirements within these planning areas. These Plan Elements in the Local
Planning Handbook are:
• Land Use
• Transportation
• Water Resources (Wastewater, Surface Water, Water Supply)
• Park & Trails
• Housing
• Plan Implementation
Other Plan Elements are identified as issues of regional importance and are reflective of Thrive
MSP 2040's policies. These Plan Elements are:
• Resilience
• Economic Competitiveness
Comprehensive Plan Updates
All cities, counties, and townships within the seven -county metropolitan region must prepare a
comprehensive plan and update that plan as needed every 10 years. The Council is charged with
reviewing local comprehensive plans. We must review a plan for completeness before initiating
the review process for an update or an amendment. A plan update is considered complete when it
includes the elements required by statute and contains sufficient information for us to evaluate
the following three primary criteria:
• Conformance with metropolitan system plans.
• Consistency with adopted policy plans.
• Compatibility with plans of affected and adjacent jurisdictions.
RECOMMENDATION
A Comprehensive Plan is designed to serve as a guide for the local decision-making process. The
cornerstone of such a comprehensive planning process is the development and adoption of goals
and policies which identify the desired qualities and overall vision for the future of the
community. These goals and policies are based on the needs of the city along with the unique
characteristics and values of the community.

The starting point for the Comprehensive Planning Process should be a visioning process.
In 2014 the city worked with Urban Land Institute Minnesota and the Navigating the New
Normal Workshop. As a part of that Workshop the city was given some key observations that
were shared during the panel discussion. There were several important observations regarding
vision:
• Successful communities develop a clear vision, react appropriately to opportunities,
create innovative financial tools and leverage their key assets. Leadership and
"consistency of vision" are keys to successful communities, especially the alignment of
policy direction between elected officials and staff.
• Successful communities are smart about engagement. The city may be better served by
involving the community more in the planning and policy development stage (creating
the standards) and less at the project approval stage.
Attached is the outline of the proposed review process. Staff is recommending that a consultant
be used to lead a visioning process with the City Council and the Planning, Parks and Recreation,
- -- Environmental, and Senior -Commissions. The commissions -are -currently engaged -in -policy
recommendation and they should be tapped for their vison of the city in 2040. This provides an
opportunity to:
1. Take the pulse of the city.
2. Identify community strengths.
3. Identify deficiencies in any areas.
After the first draft of the plan is completed, community engagement would continue with
stakeholder (residents, business, schools, etc.) meetings. These meetings would further refine the
plan. Staff is a anticipating an 18 -month process to complete the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.

ALLOCATION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING NEED
The Need reflects what share of forecasted regional household
growth will make less than a set threshold of income and therefore
need affordable housing. The Allocation is the determination of each
community's share of this regional need and the first step in helping
