Department Approval <br />l�'�, <br />Jy <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Date: 03/30/2009 <br />Item No.: 13.c <br />City Manager Approval <br />9 � • <br />� <br />Item Description: 2030 Comprehensive Plan Status Update and Next Steps <br />1.0 <br />1.1 <br />BACKGROUND <br />On January 26, 2009, the Roseville City Council granted preliminary approval of the 2030 <br />Comprehensive Plan and staff has submitted the plan to the Metropolitan Council for its review <br />of the plan. It is anticipated that the agency will complete its review and that the plan will be <br />brought back to the City Council for final adoption in spring 2009. <br />1.2 State statutes require that cities review their official controls as part of the decennial <br />comprehensive plan updating process and, if necessary, revise these control to make them <br />consistent with their comprehensive plan; the statute allows nine months from the date of final <br />plan adoption to complete this task. The official controls identified in Chapter 11 of Roseville's <br />Comprehensive Plan are zoning, subdivision, and related ordinances, public ways and public <br />property, and master plans. <br />1.3 In preparation for the review of the zoning code, the City has allocated $35,000 in its 2009 <br />budget from the Community Development Enterprise Fund to hire a consultant to assist with the <br />revision of the City's Zoning Code. Staff foresees the consultant serving as the zoning expert to <br />help frame the overall code and having City staff undertake much of the code writing. <br />1.4 Staff has prepared a draft request for qualifications (Attachment A) and has taken it to the <br />Planning Commission for its review. On February 4, 2009, the Planning Commission <br />unanimously passed a motion recommending that the City Council authorize staff to send the <br />request for qualifications to consulting firms. Attachment S are the meeting minutes from the <br />Planning Commission meeting. <br />1.5 Chapter 11 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan identifies that the City Council needs to determine <br />if any of the pre-2009 master plans should be addressed in the updated comprehensive plan. It <br />states: "For master plans adopted before 2009, the City Council shall review each plan and <br />determine whether each one should be addressed in the Comprehensive plan, and if so, how it <br />will be addressed in the Comprehensive Plan pursuant to this policy." <br />2.O POLICY OBJECTIVES <br />2.1 Undertaking a thorough review and updating of the City's official controls at this time will <br />provide an opportunity to better link them to the community goals and objectives identified in <br />both the 2030 Comprehensive Plan and Imagine Roseville 2025. <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />
