The City’s stated goals are described below, and Ramsey County’s Rice <br />Creek Common Goals and Metrics document is attached. <br /> <br />During the JDA Commissioner discussion, it was noted that some goals may not be mutually <br />achievable in a given situation. In other words, achieving one particular goal may result in <br />another goal not being fully realized within the scope of a particular development project. JDA <br />Commissioners agreed to work with their respective County and City boards to prioritize <br />development goals. <br /> <br />Neither the County nor the City had an opportunity to prioritize their goals prior to the January 4, <br />2016, Joint Development Authority meeting at which the Solicitation for Master Developer was <br />approved for release on February 1, 2016. At that meeting, Mayor Grant and Councilmember <br />Holden noted that the City would draft additional TCAAP goals for attachment to the <br />Solicitation document prior to February 1. <br /> <br />Discussion <br />The City’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan establishes the City’s vision for the community. The <br />recent TCAAP CPA did not amend the City’s overall vision, but added details and technical <br />information now known regarding the TCAAP development. The TCAAP CPA updated the <br />Comprehensive Plan to include information on land uses, housing and employment estimates, <br />parks, transportation, and utilities based on the work of the City through the process of drafting <br />and approving the AUAR and TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC), and the combined efforts of <br />the City and County through the TCAAP site redevelopment infrastructure design process. <br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM – 1B <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br />
