City Council Work Session Meeting' September 13, 2006
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
In August the Planning Commission and City Council held a joint meeting to discuss the 2008
Comprehensive Plan Update At that time staff laid out a tentative schedule to complete the various
components of the Plan by the December 2008 deadline.
DISCUSSION
Recently, staff met with representatives from UMORE to discuss their visioning and planning
process. They are hoping to have information to the Board of Regents this November and will be
asking for a recommendation as to the next steps.
Approximately 2800 acres of University property is located within the community. Depending on
the direction set by the Regents, modifications to their land use from the current Agricultural
Research designation may substantially alter forecast impacts on the city's infrastructures system,
population and job projections, and parks and open space recommendations. For this reason, staff is
looking to revise our schedule and begin our Comprehensive Planning process later m 2007,
focusing imnally on items that can be drafted independently and then added to, depending upon the
actions of UMORE.
Staff will be monitoring the activity of the UMORE visioning process in the next several months.
Obviously a delay in our start of the 2008 Update is dependant upon the action of the Board of
Regents later this year. If it looks like the tuning of our Comprehensive Plan Update will stretch
beyond the application date requested of the Metropolitan Council, we will discuss with Met Council
staff an appropriate schedule given the situation.

a Master Plan covering their land holdings from January to September 2007 and will release
