Table <br /> <br />Chair Thompson opened the floor to Commissioner comments. <br /> <br />Commissioner Lambeth understood that the Comprehensive Plan was in conformance with the <br />Met Council. <br /> <br />Senior Planner Bachler reported this was the case, noting the 2030 Comprehensive Plan was <br />approved in 2009. <br /> <br />Commissioner Lambeth questioned why the City was proposing to make this zoning <br />amendment at this time. <br /> <br />Senior Planner Bachler discussed the approval of the TCAAP Master Plan and 2030 <br />Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
