EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ISSUE
The Urban Land Institute Minnesota (ULI) and the Regional Council of Mayors (RCM) have cooperatively
created the Housing Initiative Opportunity City Pilot Program to provide assistance to communities in
identifying and implementing best management practices that support a full range of housing choices.
Earlier this year, the City had applied and was accepted to be one of the five pilot cities for this program.
The other four cities selected are: Brooklyn Park, Minnetonka, Richfield, and Shoreview.
The housing initiative will include professional assistance from Bennett Community Consulting, Excensus,
LLC, and ULI staff to conduct an audit of the City's existing housing stock and produce demographic
trends showing the changing housing needs. To help pay the costs of this professional assistance, the
housing initiative agreement includes a local match of $5,000.
Staff attended the first housing initiative meeting on Thursday, September 4 in which the five communities
discussed the housing programs in which they each participate. In December, City staff will meet with the
ULI staff and consultants to review their analysis and discuss recommendations for Rosemount. In
February 2009, all five communities will meet to review the draft ULI report and discuss common
recommendations. The final ULI report is expected in May 2009.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign the ULI -RCM Housing Initiative
Agreement.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ISSUE
Minnesota Statute sections 473.858 and 473.864 require local governmental units to complete their
"decennial" Comprehensive Plan review and amendments by December 31, 2008. Minnesota Statute
section 473.864 also allows the Metropolitan (Met) Council to grant extensions to the deadline. Realizing
that many communities will not complete their Comprehensive Plan deadlines by December 31, the Met
Council has allowed administrative extensions of the submittal deadline to May 29, 2009 provided that the
local governmental unit provide a resolution and completed extension request form. Attached to this
executive summary is the resolution and request form.
The City Council has authorized the release of the Comprehensive Plan for the required six month public
review period on April 19, 2008. The anticipated remaining review and approval process for the
Comprehensive Plan is:
February 19, 2009
March 24, 2009
April 21, 2009
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the adoption of the resolution requesting the extension of the Comprehensive Plan
deadline until May 29, 2009.

planning issues checked on the previous page. Include a realistic appraisal of your community's ability to submit

and official controls. (Use additional sheets as necessary.)
A number of issues have resulted in the City of Rosemount needing to delay the submittal of the approved
Comprehensive Plan beyond the December 31, 2008 deadline. Initially, the City delayed the initiation of the
Comprehensive Plan process to allow the University of Minnesota to master plan their UMore Park property
within Rosemount and Empire Township. When it became apparent that the University was not going to be able
to complete their process in time to meet the December 31, 2008 deadline, the City began its Comprehensive Plan
process in April 2007. The process included six public open houses and numerous Planning Commission, Utility
Commission, Parks and Recreation Committee, and City Council Meetings.
City staff met with Metropolitan Council staff Patrick Boylan and Victoria Dupre on May 15, 2007 to discuss the
UMore planning process and potential delays to the submittal of the Comprehensive Plan. City staff stated during
that meeting that it was expected that the City would release the Comprehensive Plan for the six month review
before the end of 2008, but that the City would not be able to submit the completed and approved Comprehensive
Plan by December 31,2008.
During the review of the draft Comprehensive Plan in April 2008, the City Council had concerns about the transit
component of the Transportation Plan. Staff revisions of the Transportation Plan were presented to the City
Council in July 2008.
The City has maintained the timeline discussed with Metropolitan Council staff and the Comprehensive Plan has
been released to the neighborhood communities for their review on August 19, 2008. With the six month review
being completed in February 2009, it is anticipated that the Planning Commission will review the Comprehensive
Plan and conduct a public hearing at their March 24, 2009 meeting and that the City Council will review and
approve the Comprehensive Plan on April 23, 2009. This anticipated timeline will result in the submittal of the
Comprehensive Plan before the extension of review deadline of May 29, 2009.
