The amendment proposes to change. the land use designation for 23 acr"es located at the <br />northwest comer of Sunfish Lake Blvd at 153Td Lane NW from Rural Developing to Low Density <br />Residential. <br /> <br />At its May 24, 2000 regular meeting, the governing body of the Council identified certain types of local <br />comprehensive plan amendments that may be reviewed by Council staff without further formal review by <br />the governing body of the Council. Council staff applied the plan review waiver criteria established by <br />the Council's governing body and finds that the amendment is in conformance with metropolitan system <br />plans, consistent with the Regional Development Framework, and has no impact on the plans of other <br />units oflocal government. Therefore, the Council will waive further review and the City may place this <br />amendment into effect. <br /> <br />However, staff offers t~e folloWingadVisor)f comment: <br /> <br />On the Metro GIS system, the northwest part of the property includes areas identified in the National <br />Wetlands Inventory as well as areas identified in the Regional Natural Resource Inventory and <br />Assessment.
