Stat. § 473.864, Subd. 2). The Council reviews plans to determine: • Conformance with metropolitan system plans, • Consistency with other adopted Plans of the Council, and • Compatibility with the Plans of other local jurisdictions in the Metropolitan Area. The Council may require a local governmental unit to modify any plan or part thereof if, upon the adoption of findings and a resolution, the Council concludes that the Plan is more likely than not to have a substantial impact on or contain a substantial departure from metropolitan system plans (Minn. Stat. § 473.175, Subd. 1). Each local government unit shall adopt a policy plan for the collection, treatment and disposal of sewage for which the local government unit is responsible, coordinated with the Metropolitan Council's plan, and may revise the same as often as it deems necessary. Each such plan shall be submitted to the Council for review and shall be subject to the approval of the Council as to those features affecting the Council's responsibilities as determined by the Council. Any such features disapproved by the Council shall be modified in accordance with the Council's recommendations (Minn. Stat. § 473.513). CONFORMANCE WITH REGIONAL SYSTEMS Regional Parks Parks and Trails Reviewer: Jan Youngquist, CD - Regional Parks System Planning, (651-602-1029) The Update is in conformance with the 2030 Regional Parks Policy Plan (RPPP).

The Upd to summarizes the City's vision for the next 20 years or to year 2030.

A the Council the date the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed SWMP and the date the City adopted the final plan. CONSISTENCY WITH COUNCIL POLICY Forecasts Reviewer: Dennis Farmer, CD - Research, (651-602-1552) The Update is consistent with respect to forecasts for Shorewood, as shown in the table below. Table 1 - Metro olitan Council System Statement Forecasts for Shorewood 2000 2010 2020 2030 Population 7 400 7,850 8,000 8,100 Households 2,529 2,750 2,870 2,960 Employment 732 990 1,160 1,180 2030 Regional Development Framework and Land Use Reviewer: Lisa Barajas, CD — Local Planning Assistance, (651-602-1895) The Update, with supplemental materials, is consistent with the 2030 Regional Development Framework (RDF), which identifies the City as a "Developed" community. The RDF directs Developed communities to maintain current infrastructure; renew and improve infrastructure, buildings, and land to provide for additional growth, particularly at centers along transit corridors; and support developments that integrate land uses. In addition, Developed communities are expected to accommodate forecasted residential growth at densities of at least 5 units per acre. The Update contains policies to promote transitions between different uses, programs and incentives for redevelopment, directing higher density housing to areas with adequate facilities and infrastructure, and supporting safe and convenient pedestrian access in commercial areas. The City has a land area of 3,492 acres with another 1,888 acres of water bodies. The predominant existing land use is single family residential accounting for 65% of the City's land area. As a Developed community, the City identifies vacant and underdeveloped parcels in the community to accommodate the City's projected household growth. The Update indicates that the City has approximately 312 acres of undeveloped land, but substantial portions of this area are encumbered by wetlands. The remaining 85 acres of vacant land are mostly platted lots in existing low density neighborhoods and are capable of supporting an additional 65 to 70 housing units at the low density residential guiding. The Update indicates that land considered "underdeveloped" is land that is capable of being further subdivided based on existing zoning regulations. These parcels also are located within existing low density residential neighborhoods and could accommodate between 155 and 170 new units. The Update also discusses the potential for redevelopment of two sites within the City: a parcel currently owned by Xcel Energy located on the north end of County Road 19, and the northwest quadrant of Smithtown Crossing. The Update expects these two areas, totaling approximately 8 acres, to accommodate high density residential development or mixed use development at 10 units per acre. The Update does not provide future land use guiding for the redevelopment of these properties as no plans are solidified at this point. Residential density proposed for redevelopment is consistent with the Council's policy for sewered residential development in Developed communities. Advisory Comments Because the Update does not currently provide future land use designations for the Smithtown Crossing and Xcel properties to accommodate higher density or mixed use development, the City will need to amend the Update to provide land use designations consistent with the i edevelopment proposals for those properties prior to development. At that time, those mendments will need to be submitted to the Council for review. The City is advised I o participate in the Council's activities to monitor redevelopment in Developed commun ties. Housing Reviewer: Linda Mil shius, CD - Livable Communities, (651-602-1541) The Update's housir g element fulfills the housing planning requirements of the MLPA. The Update acknow edges the City's share of the region's affordable housing need for 2011-2020, which i 53 units. The Update states that the City is fully developed with very little vacant de elopable land available, so opportunities to meet that need will be addressed primarily through infill and redevelopment efforts. The Update indicates that approximately 8 acr as of land will be available for high density residential development at 10 units per acre. I he Update provides the implementation tools and programs the City will use to promote pportunities to address its share of the region's housing need. The City will continue to partner with Hennepin County and other cities in the South Lake Minnetonka area to 3ddress lifecycle and affordable housing needs. The Update indicates with City will contini ie to work with local, state and federal agencies to facilitate affordable housing evelopment. The Update cites financial resources the city will consider using towa d the production of affordable housing including CDBG, Section 202 funding, TIF and Es ential Function Bonds which are issued by the HRA for public purposes. Individual SewaS e Treatment Systems (ISTS) Program Reviewer: Jim Lars , CD - Local Planning Assistance, (651-602-1159) The Update is consi tent with the WRMPP for ISTS. The Update indicates that only two ISTS remain in opet 3tion in the City. The rest of the community is served by the municipal sewer sy em. The City has delegated the responsibility of permitting, inspection, and mai itenance management of the ISTS to Hennepin County. Water Supply Reviewer: Sara Smi h, ES - Water Supply Planning, (651-602-1035) The Update is comp ete and consistent with the Council's Water Resources Management Policy Plan. The COL ricil encourages the city to continue to implement conservation programs in an effo t to promote the efficient use of water to its customers. Resource Protect on Historic Presery ion Reviewer: Jim Uttle , CD - Local Planning Assistance, (651-602-1319) The Update contain a section on Historic Preservation as required by the MLPA. Solar Access Pro ction Reviewer: Jim Uttle , CD - Local Planning Assistance, (651-602-1319) The Update address s the subject of solar access protection as required by the MLPA. Aggregate Reso ces Protection Reviewer: Jim Lars , CD - Local Planning Assistance, (651-602-1159) The submission indi ates that there are no significant aggregate resource deposits in the community. This in ormation is consistent with the Council's aggregate resources inventory, which inc icates only trace deposits within the community and additionally, the community is fully cleveloped. 10 Plan Implementation Reviewer: Jim Uttley, CD - Local Planning Assistance, (651-602-1361) The Update includes a description of: • Capital Improvement Program Yes • Zoning Code Yes • Subdivision Code Yes • ISTS Codes Yes • Housing Implementation Program Yes COMPATIBILITY WITH PLANS OF ADJACENT GOVERNMENTAL UNITS AND PLANS OF AFFECTED SPECIAL DISTRICTS AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS The City submitted the 2009 Comprehensive Plan Update to adjacent local units of government, school districts, counties and special districts for comment in November 2008. There do not appear to be any compatibility issues with plans of adjacent governmental units and plans of affected special districts and school districts.
