They are intended to help communities prepare or update their comprehensive <br /> plan, as required by the Metropolitan Land Planning Act: <br /> Within nine months after receiving a system statement for an amendment to a metropolitan <br /> system plan, and within three years after receiving a system statement issued in conjunction <br /> with the decennial review required under section 473.864, subdivision 2, each affected local <br /> governmental unit shall review its comprehensive plan to determine if an amendment is <br /> necessary to ensure continued conformity with metropolitan system plans. If an amendment is <br /> necessary, the governmental unit shall prepare the amendment and submit it to the council <br /> for review. <br /> Local comprehensive plans, and amendments thereto, will be reviewed by the Council for conformance <br /> to metropolitan system plans, consistency with Council policies, and compatibility with adjacent and <br /> affected governmental units. Updated local comprehensive plans are due to the Council for review by <br /> December 31, 2018. <br /> What is in this System Statement <br /> The system statement includes information specific to your community, including: <br /> • your community designation or designation(s); <br /> • forecasted population, households, and employment through the year 2040; <br /> • guidance on appropriate densities to ensure that regional services and costly regional <br /> infrastructure can be provided as efficiently as possible. <br /> • affordable housing need allocation; <br /> Page- 1 1 2015 SYSTEM STATEMENT—CENTERVILLE INTRODUCTION <br />
