2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN EXTENSION
Proposed Action
Planning Department staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve a
resolution requesting additional time to complete the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
Overview
State Statute requires local government units to complete the current decennial Comprehensive
Plan review (update) by December 31, 2018. State Statute also authorizes the Metropolitan Council
to grant extensions, if requested by the local government unit by May 31, 2018.
The draft 2040 Land Use Plan was finalized following comments and direction from the Planning
Commission at their April 19th work session, the City Council at their April 23rd work session, and
the Economic Development Commission at their April 24th meeting. The City’s engineering
consultants are now preparing updates to the Transportation Plan, Sanitary Sewer Plan, Water Plan,
and Water Resources Plan. In addition, the Downtown Development Guide is also being finalized
and is scheduled for review and discussion at the May 29th City Council work session.
In order to allow adequate time to complete the engineering related Comprehensive Plan
documents and to allow for the six-month adjacent jurisdiction review, the City may need
additional time beyond December 31st to complete the 2040 Comprehensive Plan process. Staff will
continue to strive for completion by December 31st, but by requesting a three-month extension from
the Metropolitan Council, it gives the City some leeway if additional time is needed.
