Comprehensive planning is a process undertaken every ten years to ensure metropolitan <br />cities and counties visions and goals align with regional needs and policies adopted by the <br />Metropolitan Council. This is required under the Minnesota Metropolitan Land Plan Act under <br />Minnesota Statue 473. <br /> <br />The Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development, along with the consultant HKGi, <br />presented a status update to PREC at the June 22, 2017 meeting. At this time, staff will be <br />presenting information from a draft of the Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces chapter of the <br />20140 Comprehensive Plan, for comment by the Commission. <br /> <br />The chapter will be incorporated into the City’s first draft of the plan. Which will open for the <br />six-month public comment window in May. At the completion of that period in November, final <br />changes are made to the plan before the City Council considers the plan for approval and <br />submits it to the Metropolitan Council.
