2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

The City is updating of one of its most important planning tools, the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The plan is updated every 10 years and lays out the City’s plans for land use, housing, economic development, transportation, parks, trails, public facilities and utilities.  It is reviewed by surrounding communities and then sent to the Metropolitan Council for approval.  The approved plan must be adopted by the City Council by December 2018.

The Planning Commission and City Council are leading the update, with assistance from City staff and consultants. The City will be updating this page periodically with information on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan update.
