000 PART A PROGRAM DEFINITION GENE RAL PRO GRAM 010 020 Purpos. e The Comprehensive Development Planning Progrc~m is an activity Of [olnt planning involving four communities. The end product will be up-to-date local comprehensive plans, programs and draft regulations for each commu- nJty to consider. This proj~osed program responds to requirements of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act, the individual community systems state- ments and the Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area Recommendations under consideration by each of the communities and the Rum River Manage- ment Plan as applicable. A joint planning activity addressing these common concerns and requirements will be of mutual benefit to all four communities. It will: a) provide broader local input into plan development; b) avoid dup- llcation~ and c) reduce the total dollars expended for par. allel planning progrgms. Local capability will be supplemented with consulting assistance to perform the tasks that cannot be completed at the city staff level. It is essential to work closely with each staff, the planning commissions and other consultants serving each of' the communities. The intent is to utilize rather than replace the staff and consulting professionals (engineering, legal and administrative) that regularly serve each of the communities. Approach In order to benefit from ioint planning os well as to meet the local respon- slbillty o~ planning for unique geographic, social and political character- istics the program proposes three essential stages. 021 The first stage (Series 100, 200 md 300) includes preparing planning background information common to all four communities. It will be referred to as the Planning Resource Element. 021.1 Coordination meetings will be held every second or third week with a technical committee (could be staff) representing all four communities. 021.2 Coordination meetings will be held monthly with an Intergovernmental Coordinating Committee representing the Planning Commissions (or Councils) of all four Communities. 022 The second stage (Series 400 and 500) includes individual plans, programs and recommendaHons that will be specific for each comm- unity. This specific Plan Element will be prepared generally in the sequence and format proposed in the program, however, it will be tailored to meet individual local needs. -1-
