RESOLUTION REQUESTING ADDITIONAL TIME WITHIN WHICH TO COMPLETE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN "DECENNIAL" REVIEW OBLIGATIONS
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes section 473.864 requires local governmental units to review
and, if necessary, amend their entire comprehensive plans and their fiscal devices and official controls
at least once every ten years to ensure comprehensive plans conform with metropolitan system plans
and ensure fiscal devices and official controls do not conflict with comprehensive plans or permit
activities that conflict with metropolitan system plans; and
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes sections 473.858 and 473.864 require local governmental
units to complete their "decennial" reviews by December 31, 2018; and
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes section 473.864 authorizes the Metropolitan Council to
grant extensions to local governmental units to allow local governmental units additional time within
which to complete the "decennial" review and amendments; and
WHEREAS, any extensions granted by the Metropolitan Council must be submitted by May
• 31, 2018, and must include a timetable and plan for completing the review and amendment; and
WHEREAS, the City of Edina will not be able to complete its "decennial" review by
December 31, 2018, for the following reasons: 1. The City experienced delays from the start of the
process including the resignation of the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Planning Commission during the
beginning planning phase. 2. The start of the planning process was delayed due to the scope of the
work being altered and meetings were added up front. 3. The time frame for each small area plan
(44`h & France, 70`h and Cahill, and 50`h and France) were significantly increased to add more public
meetings, more work group meetings, and add more time for public input and more time for review
of draft plans.
WHEREAS, the City Council finds it is appropriate to request from the Metropolitan
Council an extension so the City can have additional time to complete and submit to the
Metropolitan Council for review an updated comprehensive plan and amend its fiscal devices and
official controls.
NOW, THERFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE EDINA CITY COUNCIL that:
I. The City Planner is directed to submit to the Metropolitan Council no later than May 31,
2018, an application requesting an extension to December 31, 2019.
• 2. The City Planner is directed to include with the request a reasonably detailed timetable and
plan for completing the review and amendment by December 31, 2019, and the review and
amendment of the City's fiscal devices and official controls.
