2. Workshop Agenda
A. Land Use Basics
Steve Grittman completed his presentation to the Planning Commission
regarding land use basics. This was a continuation of the previous special
meeting.
B. 2021 Planning Commission Workplan
Angela Schumann provided a recap of how the workplan was formulated. She
noted that it was important for the Planning Commission to have a baseline of
information including role and authority of the board and resources
(comprehensive plan, zoning ordinance, subdivision ordinance, and natural
resources assessment and inventory) to develop a workplan. Staff also provided
resources from the League of Minnesota Cities.
Schumann noted there are four primary components of the workplan:
organizational, comprehensive planning, zoning ordinance, and subdivision
ordinance. The comprehensive plan strategies that are listed on the draft
workplan were the highest prioritized strategies related to the zoning ordinance
as ranked by the members of the Planning Commission.
No decision by the Planning Commission requested as the item would be on the
Regular Agenda. The workplan is intended to align the work of the commission
with the broader goals of the City through the comprehensive plan and the goals
of the City Council.
It was noted that the workplan could be amended over the year if needed.
3. Adjournment
Paul Konsor adjourned the meeting at 5:51 p.m.
