EN HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: March 20, 2008 Work Session <br /> TO: Planning Commission <br /> FROM: James Lehnhoff, City Planner <br /> /// <br /> SUBJECT: 2008 Comprehensive Plan <br /> Draft of the Vision, Policies, and Strategies by Chapter <br /> Requested Action <br /> Staff requests feedback on the draft goals, policies, and content of the draft 2008 Comprehensive <br /> Plan. Staff also requests a review of the overall City vision statement, which has been slightly <br /> revised. This work session is not meant to be a detailed review of the language in the Plan. This <br /> review is meant to be a progress update and to get feedback on the overall content within the draft <br /> Plan. <br /> • Backizround <br /> Although there are a number of important projects currently underway at the City, work on the 2008 <br /> Comprehensive Plan update has continued to move forward. The information collected at the <br /> community meetings, Council/Planning Commission comments, previous City plans, requirements <br /> set by the Metropolitan Council, and State Statutes have formed the basis of the draft document. <br /> Since much of the 1998 Comprehensive Plan is still applicable today, portions of that Plan have <br /> been reformatted and included in the draft 2008 Comprehensive Plan. <br /> In order to keep the drafting process moving forward in a productive manner, Staff is requesting <br /> that the Planning Commission review and provide feedback on the working draft of the vision, <br /> goals, policies, and content for each chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. The work session is meant <br /> to focus on providing feedback on the overall substance in the draft Plan. This is a working draft, <br /> and Staff recognizes the language will need to be reviewed and revised as the process continues to <br /> ensure that it is meeting the full intent and goals of the City. If you do notice specific grammar or <br /> punctuation errors, please mark them in the Plan and provide your copy to Staff for review. Your <br /> copy can be returned to you. <br /> City of Arden Hills <br /> Planning Commission Work Session for March 20, 2008 <br /> IlMetro-inet.uslardenhillslPlanninglComprehensive Plan lMemos1032008-PC Report-Comp Plan-Vision,Policies,and Strategies.doc <br /> Page 1 of 3 <br />
