New Brighton Comprehensive Plan The Planning Process The City of New Brighton underwent an extensive process of community meetings and workshops in 1997-1998, which established a vision for a future New Brighton. At that time, the City outlined a process that combined the local knowledge of the community with the leadership of its elected officials, the dedication of its volunteers and the professionalism of city staff and consultants. Since then, those combined entities have been working together to realize the vision while maintaining a role as a developed community within a growing metropolitan region. As such, the 2030 update focuses mainly on updating the technical information and ensuring compliance with the Metropolitan Council’s 2030 Regional Blueprint. What remains apparent with the 2030 update is continued focus on the vision goals initially established under the Comprehensive Plan updated in 1998. The following outlines the update process: May – 2007 The City Council directed staff on a process for updating the Comprehensive Plan, which included a City staff driven update focusing only on the requirements of the 2030 Regional Blueprint and other technical updates. This direction was aimed toward continuing on with the vision goals established by the 1998 Comprehensive Plan Update. July—2007 City Staff began meeting on a regular basis to discuss roles and responsibilities related to the information that required updating. December—2007 A Town Hall meeting was held whereby residents were given the opportunity to ask questions related to the 2008 update of the Comprehensive Plan. April—2008 A draft plan was completed and distributed to the Advisory Commissions, City Council, and city staff for review and comment.
