The City of New Brighton has received comments from a handful <br />of adjacent communities, counties, and state agencies, and many of the comments so far have <br />been technical in nature, requiring minor changes. The City anticipates that comments received <br />between now and the end of the six-month review period from remaining adjacent and affected <br />jurisdictions will be similarly technical and minor. <br /> <br />The 2040 Comprehensive Plan has been revised to respond to the comments received so far. <br />To facilitate review of the changes made, the attached table has been crea ted to identify the <br />agency/organization who made the comment, the comment, and how the proposed response to <br />the comment. The draft of the revised 2040 Comprehensive Plan has been posted on the City’s <br />website. <br /> <br />In general, there has not been substantive change to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. In <br />responding to comments received there were no changes to land use guidance. Most of the <br />changes were focused on Land Use, Housing, Transportation, and Parks and Open Space. <br /> <br />The next step in the planning process it the holding of a public hearing on the revised draft at <br />the October 16, 2018 meeting. After holding the public hearing, the Planning Commission will be <br />asked to consider whether the draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan needs to be modified and/or if it <br />can move forward to the City Council for authorization of its submission to the Metropolitan <br />Council. The deadline for submission to the Metropolitan Council is December 31, 2018. <br /> <br />The City has received public comment about the plan draft prior to the meeting from t he All <br />Parks Alliance for Change. Their comments have also been attached for the Planning <br />Commission’s consideration.
