Household, Population and Employment Forecasts. Another key component of any <br />Comprehensive Plan Amendment is to develop household, population, and <br />employment forecasts. This information will be required by the Metropolitan Council in <br />order to review any Comprehensive Plan Amendment. This information will be derived <br />from a combination of the Future Land Use Map and Site Layout Concepts. <br />vi. Infrastructure Study. The City will also study infrastructure needs based on household, <br />population, and employment forecasts to support the suggested land use. These studies <br />will include, but are not limited, streets, water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater. <br />Guiding Principles for Armstrong West: Future Business Park Comprehensive Plan Amendment <br />Page 4 of 5 <br />
