Comprehensive Plan Update – Janice Gundlach, Assistant Director of Community <br />Assets & Development/Planning Director <br /> <br />Ms. Janice Gundlach noted the city Comprehensive Plan is updated once every 10 years and <br />gives a bigger picture with visioning of what the next 20-30 years could entail. Ms. Gundlach <br />introduced Mr. Brad Scheib from HKGi to the Public Safety Commission. <br /> <br />Mr. Brad Scheib, HKGi, stated the Comprehensive Planning process has progressed through <br />Phase One (Inform and Listen) and into Phase Two (Consult and Collaborate). Mr. Scheib stated <br />this is not the completed plan; there is more to come. State Statute requires cities to update their <br />Comprehensive Plans every 10 years; this is a large document with a lot of text, maps, graphs, <br />and policy statements. Based on the tasks completed in phase one, we have generated some <br />initial directions, ideas, and concepts that will be used to help envision how New Brighton can <br />move towards its vision. He stated the intent of the meeting was for him to provide a presentation <br />on the Comprehensive Plan and for the Public Safety Commission to provide general comments <br />and feedback. Mr. Scheib reviewed his presentation on the Comp Plan with the Commission, <br />noting several redevelopment areas of interest within the community and commented on the <br />future timeline for the Comp Plan. <br /> <br />Ms. Gundlach noted the city is working to remove zoning barriers to prepare for future <br />development opportunities. Commissioner Malone asked if the city is looking at infrastructure, <br />such as fiber, etc. Ms. Gundlach noted the city infrastructure has been updated to fiber in some <br />areas. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ghouse liked the increase of food trucks she has seen in New Brighton. She <br />thinks food trucks are a good way to bring in new people who may want to then move to New <br />Brighton. <br />
