City Staff and City Council regarding items of interest within the City. That document is now available online, and <br />available for Planning Commission review using the City's online agenda. This is the same location Planning <br />Commissioners currently access the Planning Commission Agenda. <br />Status of Comprehensive Plan Amendments. As the Planning Commission may recall, the City approved a series <br />of Comprehensive Plan Amendments recently, which included areas at Nowthen Boulevard and Green Valley Road <br />(revert back to single-family from neighborhood commercial), 30 Acre South Highway 10 (revert back to <br />commercial from Medium Density Residential), and The COR Development Plan. The amendments for the Green <br />Valley location and south of Highway 10 have been approved. The COR Development Plan is scheduled for <br />Metropolitan Council Community Development Committee on December 3rd and full Metropolitan Council on <br />December 12th. The case reports indicate a favorable recommendation. The review also recommends approval of <br />two (2) Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Grants. <br />Northstar Commuter Rail -Ramsey Station. As the Planning Commission may be aware, service has started at the <br />Northstar Commuter Rail -Ramsey Schedule. Information and schedules are available online www.metrotransit.org. <br />Future Land Use of Former Municipal Center at 15153 Nowthen Boulevard NW. The City has been asked to <br />review the potential of the former Municipal Center for use as a data center. The City Council and EDA have <br />directed Staff to begin looking at potential layouts as well as zoning and compatibility issues. Review is also <br />proposed to include a public input process, which is currently under design. Staff welcomes input on the process <br />from the Planning Commission. If any changes to land use are proposed as an outcome of this process, the Planning <br />Commission would become involved as part of the official amendment process. <br />Future Land Use of Area West of The COR, West of Armstrong Boulevard. As part of the Sunwood Drive <br />realignment project, the EDA has asked that Staff look into future land uses for the area west of Armstrong <br />Boulevard. The EDA has asked Staff to begin looking at potential layouts as well as zoning and compatibility <br />issues. Review is also proposed to include a public input process, which is currently under design. Staff welcomes <br />input on the process from the Planning Commission. If any changes to land use are proposed as an outcome of this <br />process, the Planning Commission would become involved as part of the official amendment process. <br />New SAC Credit Policy. The Metropolitan Council has approved an amendment to the SAC Credit Policy. SAC is <br />a Metropolitan Council fee for Sewer Accessibility Charge. Broadly speaking, the new policy, which somewhat <br />reverts back to a previous policy, allows the City to apply SAC credits anywhere in the community when a <br />permanent reduction in demand is experienced (physical conversion of space). Staff is available to answer specific <br />questions the Planning Commission may have. <br />Notification: <br />Observations: <br />Funding Source: <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />Committee Action: <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Tim Gladhill (Originator) Tim Gladhill 11/30/2012 11:59 AM <br />Form Started By: Tim Gladhill Started On: 11/30/2012 <br />Final Approval Date: 11/30/2012 <br />
