<br /> ;; <br /> . ~ <br /> ~~HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: October 24, 2006 PC Agenda Item 4.B <br /> TO: Planning Commission <br /> FROM: James Lehnhoff, City Planner <br /> SUBJECT: Draft Comprehensive Plan Update Schedule <br /> The next Comprehensive Plan update is due at the end of 2008. While that seems like a distant <br /> date, the comprehensive planning process can take a considerable amount of time and effort to <br /> produce a quality, useable product. Over the last several months, Karen Barton and I have been <br /> attending training sessions at the Metropolitan Council to learn about the information <br /> requirements and analyses that must be included with the updated Plan. <br /> The Comprehensive Plan helps set the stage for what residents and businesses want the City of <br /> . Arden Hills to look like and how the City should function in the next 10, 20, and 30 years. Just <br /> as important, the Plan helps all of us understand the role that Arden Hills plays in the <br /> metropolitan region. The Comprehensive Plan is an extremely important document that will <br /> require a considerable amount of staff time and resources as well as community involvement. <br /> The attached schedule is preliminary and is certainly subject to change. In addition to the <br /> technical requirements that will largely be completed behind the scenes, the Plan schedule <br /> incorporates a significant amount of time for community input and opportunities public <br /> involvement. We are also working with our consultants and the Metropolitan Council to <br /> determine exactly how the TCAAP development process should be incorporated into the <br /> Comprehensive Plan update process. As Staff gathers more information, we will bring it to the <br /> Planning Commission to keep you up to date. <br /> . Page I of 1 <br />
