MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Counci!
Ryan Schroeder, City Administrator
FROM: Kim Lindquist, Community Development Director
DATE: September 29, 1998
RE: Comprehensive Plan Deadiine Extension
Background
As the Councii is aware, tne Planning Commission and staff have been working on the update
to the Comprehensive Plan since January, 1998. Prior to the Commission workshops, the
CIIYVISION 21 Task Force met for over a year. The Task Force process fulfills the larger,
public process for the comprehensive plan update. In July, a letter was sent to the Met Council
outlining a variety of issues uncovered during the comp plan work. Many of these issues are of
regional significance and will have a great impact on the City's new comprehensive plan. Be-
cause a variety of these issues are still to be resolved, staff wiil be formally requesting an
extension from the December, 1998, due date for the updated comprehensive plan.
To apply for an extension, the Council must pass the attached resolution. Additionally, staff
must present a rough timetable of work to be compieted and the estimated timeframe for
completion. Frankly, there are several issues which should be included in the comp plan which
may further impact completion of the city's comprehensive plan. These include the disposition
of Grey Cloud Island, the future alignment of the sanitary sewer interceptor, and the outcome
of the fiscai impact analysis. From staffs' perspective, all three of these issues would impact
potential land use designations and may impact future transportation systems, parks and open
space systems, and the provision of utilities.
The comp plan process requires that the City submit a draft pian to adjacent governmental
agencies six months prior to submittai to the Met Council. This timeline requires the City to
have a final draft for distribution six months prior to the formai submittal, final submittal being
the plan deadline. Initially, staff had hoped to have a suitable distribution draft by early 1999.
However, the timeline for receiving the results from the fiscai impact analysis is early summer
1999 and the timeframe for deciding the interceptor alignment is early 1999. Even if both items
are on schedule, this pushes back the compietion of the draft plan. Given these timeframes,
staff is now anticipating completion of the distribution draft by mid-year 1999 so that formal
submission to the Met Council could occur in late 1999. However, the timeline for completion is
somewhat dependent upon the timeframes of on-going studies being conducted by agencies in
which the City has no control.
Recommendation
Approve the attached resolution.
