ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES 89 The Comprehensive Plan is a compilation of goals, policies, standards, and maps, designed to provide direction for solving problems and dealing with change. The plan deals with guiding physical, social, and economic development within the commun- ity. Plan implementation involves_the conversion of these plan elements into measures of action. Implementation also means using the plan for future decisions and adjusting it as it becomes necessary. The plan implementation should describe how the plan will be accomplished. In Ramsey, plan implementation will include: improved administrative review procedures, official controls (ordinances), City Council resolutions or directives, a housing program, and a capital improvements program. ADMINISTRATIVE The City's role in _the development of land is one of its most PROCEDURES important functions because of the long lasting effect it has on appearance and the environment. Once a structure has been constructed or the earth altered, it becomes very difficult to modify the situation without substantial expense. Plans and ordinances should be updated and adopted to protect public interests. In order to make the development process and appli- ` cation procedures more understandable to the public, current procedures will be reviewed and revised where appropriate.
