The City Council will be asked to make a formal decision regarding the application under Agenda Item IOB. Comprehensive Plan Requirements Minnesota state law requires that all communities within the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area update their Comprehensive Plans every ten years. The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to establish the policies that guide the future physical and community development of Arden Hills. It is also a reference document for the Planning Commission and City Council when evaluating private development projects, such as Summit Development's Parkshore proposal (see Planning Case 19-002). The Comprehensive Plan and all its amendments must reflect the adopted regional policies in the Metropolitan Council's system and policy plans. Local planning efforts are linked to the larger regional infrastructure of parks and trails, road networks, and wastewater infrastructure, and the City's plan must conform to the regional vision. An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan requires a recommendation from the Planning Commission following a public hearing. The Planning Commission reviewed this item at its April 15, 2020 meeting and at that time the Commission recommend approval by a 7-0 vote.
