Page 1 of 2 DATE: December 21, 2015 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Sue Iverson, Acting City Administrator FROM: Jill Hutmacher, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Prioritization of TCAAP Goals Background At the November 2, 2015, TCAAP Joint Development Authority meeting, Commissioners were provided information on the respective goals of the City and County for the TCAAP redevelopment project. The City’s stated goals are described below, and Ramsey County’s Rice Creek Common Goals and Metrics document is attached. During the JDA Commissioner discussion, it was noted that some goals may not be mutually achievable in a given situation. In other words, achieving one particular goal may result in another goal not being fully realized within the scope of a particular development project. JDA Commissioners agreed to work with their respective County and City boards to prioritize development goals. Discussion The City’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan establishes the City’s vision for the community. The recent TCAAP CPA did not amend the City’s overall vision, but added details and technical information now known regarding the TCAAP development. The TCAAP CPA updated the Comprehensive Plan to include information on land uses, housing and employment estimates, parks, transportation, and utilities based on the work of the City through the process of drafting and approving the AUAR and TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC), and the combined efforts of the City and County through the TCAAP site redevelopment infrastructure design process. The City’s goals regarding the TCAAP development are aligned to the City’s overall community vision as stated in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The TRC is a tool to implement the City’s overall vision in the development of TCAAP. As such, the approved TRC lists 2030 Comprehensive Plan goals which are specifically addressed through the TRC: AGENDA ITEM - 1G MEMORANDUM
