Comprehensive Plan

Rule

Communities evolve and the best ones have a long-term plan to light the way. In local government, the ultimate torch is the Comprehensive Plan, which guides development and redevelopment and addresses changes likely to occur due to various social and market forces.

The Metropolitan Council requires all cities in the seven-county metropolitan area to have such a plan and State law requires cities to update their plans every 10 years. Edina’s revised Comprehensive Plan is due in 2008. Edina’s Comprehensive Plan includes chapters on land use, transportation, wastewater, water supply, storm water management, housing and parks and recreation.

The Edina City Council will hold public hearing on the draft 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update 7 p.m. Dec. 2, 2008.

The completed Comprehensive Plan will be managed by the City Council, which is required to consider its goals, policies and programs when reviewing and setting City ordinances and policies.
