CC Regular Session <br />Meeting Date: 05/22/2018 <br />By: Tim Gladhill, Community Development <br />Information <br />Title <br />Adopt Resolution #18-106 Requesting Extension to Comprehensive Plan Update Deadline <br />4. 14. <br />Purpose/Background: <br />Once every ten (10) years, metropolitan area communities must complete an update to their Comprehensive Plans. <br />A Comprehensive Plan is a long-range vision for land use for a community. In Minnesota, metro area <br />Comprehensive Plans are guided by Minnesota Statute Chapter 473. The Metropolitan Council is responsible for <br />administering the update process. <br />Ramsey has invested a high level of public engagement in this process to ensure a strong resident voice in the vision <br />of our community. This has led to a robust plan that better reflects Ramsey's core values and vision for the future. <br />The plan has much broader support compared to previous updates. This should be considered a big win for the <br />community, but also led to a broader re -write of the plan as opposed to a simple update. <br />The plan is 90% complete in terms of structure and content. Staff is processing final edits, format, and recent <br />requests. Staff is confident that it is still feasible to meet the December 31, 2018 deadline to submit to the <br />Metropolitan Council (after a six (6) month adjacent jurisdiction review). However, the deadline to request an <br />extension without the possibility of losing the second half payment of an awarded Planning Grant is May 31, 2018. <br />To ensure feasibility to complete by the deadline in the event of any adjustments stemming from the upcoming <br />adjacent community review, Staff recommends requesting the extension. Staff will make every effort to still meet <br />the original December 31 deadline. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approval of the extension request. <br />Action: <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #18-106 requesting extension to the deadline for the Comprehensive Plan Update. <br />Attachments <br />Resolution #18-106 <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 05/17/2018 09:35 AM <br />Form Started By: Tim Gladhill Started On: 05/09/2018 11:49 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 05/17/2018 <br />
