CC Regular Session <br />Meeting Date: 05/08/2012 <br />By: Tim Gladhill, Community Development <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Receive update on Comprehensive Plan Amendment Discussions <br />4.3. <br />Background: <br />The purpose of this discussion to consider withdrawing the current Comprehensive Plan Amendment request with <br />the Metropolitan Council, with the intent to bring back a revised Amendment in the near future. At the May 1, <br />2012 HRA Work Session, Staff reviewed preliminary Metropolitan Council comments on the current <br />Comprehensive Plan Amendment the City approved, subject to Metropolitan Council approval. Discussion has <br />centered around the number of forecasted households. Direction from the HRA was to re-evaluate the household <br />forecasts and provide potential solutions to attempt to address, at least in part, Metropolitan Council concerns. <br />Following that discussion, Staff contacted the Metropolitan Council to review the comments and City strategy. It <br />appeared to be a positive discussion. Staff noted that the City desires additional time to re -assess and re-evaluate the <br />impacts of a change to forecasts, as well as reviewing the previous methodology to see if there are actually any <br />impacts to the previous forecasts within The COR boundary. <br />The recommendation is to withdraw the current Amendment, and bring back a revised Amendment in the near <br />future to allow sufficient time for Staff to re-evaulate forecasts and potential outcomes of those forecasts. The <br />current TOD Grant recommendations will be held until the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is resolved. <br />Notification: <br />Observations: <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends withdrawing the current Comprehensive Plan Amendment, with the intent to bring back a <br />revised Amendment in the near future based on recent discussions. <br />Funding Source: <br />The Amendment is being handled as part of regular Staff duties. <br />Council Action: <br />Motion to adopt the resolution withdrawing the current Comprehensive Plan Amendment, with the intent to bring <br />back a revised Amendment in the near future based on recent discussions <br />Withdrawal Letter <br />Resolution <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Chris Anderson Chris Anderson 05/03/2012 10:59 AM <br />
