The 2008 Comprehensive Plan is divided into the following chapters (the organization of the <br /> chapters may be modified in the final version of the Plan): <br /> 1. Introduction <br /> 2. Community Profile* <br /> 3. City Vision <br /> 4. Active Living(based on the Blue Cross/Blue Shield Grant) <br /> 5. TCAAP <br /> 6. Land Use* <br /> 7. Housing* <br /> 8. Economic Development and Redevelopment <br /> 9. Parks and Recreation* <br /> 10. Protected Resources* <br /> 11. Transportation* <br /> 12. Environmental Conservation and Sustainability <br /> 13. Public Facilities, Infrastructure, and Services* <br /> 14. Implementation* <br /> *Required by the Metropolitan Council and State Statutes <br /> Chapters 4-13 included a draft goal statement. The goal statement for each chapter is intended to be <br /> somewhat of a general,positive, and, for the most part, uncontroversial statement. Each goal <br /> statement is then supported by a series of policies and background data that are designed to advance <br /> the goal statement and the overall City vision. The policies can be specific or general; short-term or <br /> long-term; easy or difficult; and may in some instances be controversial. Some of the policies will <br /> require a great deal of research and effort to fully implement, and, ultimately, some may not be <br /> workable. Since the Plan is meant to guide the City until 2030, it is not necessary to fully evaluate • <br /> the potential or possibility of each goal or policy. However, each statement should have a desirable <br /> result and be within the realm of possibility. <br /> If you have a specific idea that you think should be in the Comprehensive Plan,please either <br /> mention it at the meeting or let me know. When making a request for an item to be in the <br /> Comprehensive Plan, it is helpful to take a step back to see what the ultimate goal of the request is <br /> and how it advances the vision statement and goals within the Plan. <br /> It is important to remember that while a Comprehensive Plan is meant to take a long-term look at <br /> the community, and it should not be a static document. The City should work to implement the <br /> Comprehensive Plan over time; however, this Plan does not exclude the possibility of exploring <br /> new projects, goals, policies, priorities, and strategies down the road if new opportunities or issues <br /> arise. Although the Plan is intended to go 2030, all cities in the metropolitan area will review their <br /> comprehensive plans again in 2018. <br /> When reviewing the document, you may notice some topics or sections that do not seem to quite fit <br /> with the flow of the Plan. There are a number of items that the Metropolitan Council requires a <br /> City to address, even if the item is ultimately not applicable to Arden Hills. The Metropolitan <br /> Council's Local Planning Handbook includes many of the items that a City is required to address in <br /> City of Arden Hills <br /> Planning Commission Work Session for March 20, 2008 <br /> 1Metro-inet.uslardenhillsiPlanninglComprehensive PlanMemos1032008-PC Report-Comp Plan-vision,Policies,and Strategies.doc <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
