The Plan must be submitted to the <br />Metropolitan Council by the end of2008. <br /> <br />The Comprehensive Plan is required to conform to the system statements and regional policies set <br />by the Metropolitan Council.

At this time, staff does not anticipate any problems with conforming to those <br />requirements; however, it is not uncommon for the Metropolitan Council to require minor changes. <br />If changes are needed, that would probably not occur until 2009.
