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. land = own#MA PIM • ArAwwkwft O•c•mbor 34, 2018 2013-2014 GnpNghv»Ptr ut4o. .NI IILOIl 111IAN pppny Dr.Ncprwnt G�.:M REGIONAL 10 -YEAR PLANNING f•It20,5 CYCLE 2014.2015 . s w.w mora.

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. I and Use Implementation Transportation Plan Resilience Water Resources Elements Economic parks & Trails Competitiveness Housing 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: Todd Gerhardt, 2040 Comprehensive Plan Process February 8, 2016 Page 3 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: Todd Gerhardt, 2040 Comprehensive Plan Process February 8, 2016 Page 4 2010 (actual) 2014 (est.) 2020 2030 2040 Population 22,952 24,503 26,700 31,700 37,100 Households 8,352 8,936 10,000 11,900 14,000 Employment 10,905 14,523 15,200 16,500 17,600 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. Todd Gerhardt, 2040 Comprehensive Plan Process February 8, 2016 Page 5 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. ATTACHMENTS 1. Comprehensive Plan Timeline. 2.
