Subject: Comprehensive Plan Work Session— Land Use
In March and April of 2017, the Planning Commission discussed various potential updates to the
Future Land Use Map in conjunction with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Throughout the summer,
staff has collected feedback on all of the chapters of the Plan and has continued to refine the draft
map accordingly.
The informal Work Session will provide an opportunity for Commissioners to revisit the map and to
clarify both the proposed land use categories and their application across the City.
In addition,the four proposed Planning Districts (I-394 Mixed Use Corridor, Douglas Drive Corridor,
Downtown West, and Golden Valley Road LRT Station Area) will be reviewed and staff will provide
updates regarding any pending redevelopment activity.
