Hennepin County Timeline As a local unit of government, Hennepin County is required to develop a comprehensive plan that, at a minimum, responds to the system statement provided by the Metropolitan Council. Hennepin County received a system statement from the Metropolitan Council in September of 2015. Hennepin County does not have land use authority, and as such, is not required to prepare a land use component. Our sections include: • Transportation (Mobility 2040 Plan) • Regional Parks and Trails • Water Resources • Mississippi River Critical Corridor Area • Implementation Organizational structure Development of the comprehensive plan was guided by the Hennepin County Comprehensive Plan Policy Advisory Committee (PAC), an external advisory committee with members appointed by Hennepin County commissioners. The PAC met periodically from mid-2016 through 2018. Outreach and engagement Outreach and engagement for the comprehensive plan was conducted in two phases. Phase one focused on receiving input and guidance from internal and external thought leaders — experts in regional and local affairs —through hosting of a series of idea forums, roundtables, and targeted interviews. Phase two focused on sharing the draft document and receiving feedback from internal staff, external partners, and the general public. 2014 Thrive MSP 2040 comprehensive plan adopted by the Metropolitan Council 2015 Metropolitan Council develops regional system plans — transportation, water resources, and regional parks Metropolitan Council distributes system statements to counties, cities, and townships 2016 Hennepin County updates our comprehensive plan 2018 Hennepin County releases our plan for jurisdictional review (six months) 2018 Hennepin County submits plan to Metropolitan Council by 12/31/2018 4
