Review Next Steps for Comprehensive Plan Update

The purpose of this case is to review next steps in the Comprehensive Plan Update process.

The June 12 Public Workshop represents the last of the topic specific public feedback and issues identification stage. The next step in the process is to formalize goals and strategies, update maps/tables/figures, and begin drafting chapters of the update.

Staff has begun to draft a Background Report to set the stage for individual sections and will begin drafting the Land Use Chapter by the end of May. Both documents will be reviewed by the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee in July and by the Planning Commission and City Council in August. Staff may also have a draft Transportation Chapter completed by this time as well. The Parks and Recreation Chapter will follow soon thereafter.

Staff encourages the Steering Committee to volunteer one evening during The Draw Summer Event Series to staff a Comprehensive Plan Kiosk/Booth to engage with the public on the plan.

Finally, Staff is in the process of scheduling neighborhood meetings during the month of October on feedback on the broader plan draft. Some suggested sites to explore include, but are not limited to the following.

• Area Churches, Religious Institutions, and Places of Assembly
• Rum River Hills Golf Course
• The Links at Northfork Golf Course
• Fire Station No. 1
• Fire Station No. 2
• Central Park
• Elmcrest Park

Finally, specifically to the Parks and Recreation Plan, the Parks and Recreation Commission will host their regular meetings during the summer in area parks. As a part of this meeting schedule, public workshops will also be held on this chapter.

Staff is seeking general feedback on the process moving forward. Are there any topic specific workshops we need to consider before moving into the next stages?
