MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Kate Aanenson, AICP, Community Development Director
DATE: April 4, 2017
SUBJ: Discuss 2040 Comprehensive Plan
BACKGROUND
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 Metropolitan Council is charged with reviewing local comprehensive plans. They 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.
ANALYSIS
Staff has provided the Commission a handbook with the minimum requirements sections under
each Plan Element page to provide the necessary information to submit a complete plan for
review. These sections will help you understand the review process and steps to take to help you
successfully complete your plan update. You can also find a checklist of minimum submittal
requirements on your Community Page. Comprehensive plan updates are required to be
submitted for review by December 31, 2018.
The purpose of this review is to show the Commission the principal issues in each chapter that
ultimately directs the narrative, the goals and,polices. Attached is the tentative schedule for the
chapter review at the Planning Commission as well as the opportunities for public comments and
formal recommendation for the City Council.
