The comprehensive plan amendment proposes to change <br />the West Ramsey Industrial Park located on the northeast comer of Highway 10/169 and Jarvis <br />street. The proposal is to change the land use on 17.29 acres of land from Places to Shop to <br />Places to Work. Council staffhas determined that the proposed amendment has no potential <br />impacts upon any of the metropolitan system plans. Therefore, the city may place the <br />amendment into effect immediately. <br /> <br />Because the proposed amendment appears unlikely to affect policies and plans in other chapters <br />of the Metropolitan Development Guide, the Council will waive further review and comment on <br />this amendment. The amendment, explanatory materials supplied, and the information <br />submission form will be appended to the city's plan in the Council's files. <br /> <br />The following are recommendations and advisory comments from Council staff regarding the <br />plan amendment. <br /> <br />The Council's March 2001 staff report on the city's 2020 comprehensive ptan update <br />aclcaowledged that the plan's policies were consistent with the Council's fnten'm Strategy to <br />Reduce Notz-point Source Polh~tion to all Metropolitan liZater t~odies. However, it was the <br />Council's understanding that the city would be incorporating necessary changes tO its land use <br />controls w/thin 120 days of final Council action on the plan to fully implement the 1991 <br />Strateg~. The city will need to have incorporated those necessary land use control changes <br />befbre the Council will take action on any additional comprehensive plan amendments from the <br />city. <br /> <br />This Regional Parks and Open Space System includes a planned regional t~-ail referred to as the <br />Anoka County Mississippi River Trail- County Boundary to Anoka. The regional nail is <br />designated as a "planned beyond 5-years" project. The n'aiI will be part of a network that <br />connects the community to West Mississippi Regional Park, Coon Rapids Dana Regional Park, <br /> <br />www,metrocouncil.arg <br /> <br />Metro [nfo Line B02-t888 <br /> <br />230 East Fifth Street · St. Paul.
