Title
Adopt Resolution #18-106 Requesting Extension to Comprehensive Plan Update Deadline
Purpose/Background:
Once every ten (10) years, metropolitan area communities must complete an update to their Comprehensive Plans. A Comprehensive Plan is a long-range vision for land use for a community. In Minnesota, metro area Comprehensive Plans are guided by Minnesota Statute Chapter 473. The Metropolitan Council is responsible for administering the update process.
Ramsey has invested a high level of public engagement in this process to ensure a strong resident voice in the vision of our community. This has led to a robust plan that better reflects Ramsey's core values and vision for the future. The plan has much broader support compared to previous updates. This should be considered a big win for the community, but also led to a broader re-write of the plan as opposed to a simple update.
The plan is 90% complete in terms of structure and content. Staff is processing final edits, format, and recent requests. Staff is confident that it is still feasible to meet the December 31, 2018 deadline to submit to the Metropolitan Council (after a six (6) month adjacent jurisdiction review). However, the deadline to request an extension without the possibility of losing the second half payment of an awarded Planning Grant is May 31, 2018. To ensure feasibility to complete by the deadline in the event of any adjustments stemming from the upcoming adjacent community review, Staff recommends requesting the extension. Staff will make every effort to still meet the original December 31 deadline.
