Orono 2000-2020 CMP <br />September 8,2000 <br />Page 2 <br />Plarming Commission members have individually reviewed the draft text and some have submitted <br />their comments and suggested revisions to me. Revisions proposed by staff based on those <br />comments, are summarized in Exhibit D. <br />4T <br />w <br />Review/Approval Process <br />Council has had the draft text for review since early August, and is encouraged to address to staff <br />any additions, corrections, or questions that may arise regarding the text. Please also review the <br />Planning Commission comments. Exhibit D. <br />A resolution for Preliminary Approval of the CMP is attached for Comcil adoption. The resolution <br />will give staff authority to distribute the CMP to adjacent municipalities and other government <br />jurisdictions (as listed in Chapter 5 of the CMP), and to submit the Plan to Met Council for their <br />review and approval. <br />The adjacent municipalities will be asked to comment on the Plan within 30 days. Concurrently, <br />Met Council staff will complete an initial review of the plan and advise the City whether the Plan <br />is considered as complete. If it is considered not complete, they will advise what additional <br />information is necessary. Upon Met Council staff certification that the Plan is complete, the 60-day <br />review clock will start, the same statutory time constraints under which the City administers zoning <br />applications. <br />Met Council staff will review the Plan for consistency with Met Council policies and directives <br />contained in the Regional Blueprint and other Chapters of the Metropolitan Development Guide; and <br />for consistency with the statutory requirements of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act and other <br />applicable state and federal laws. <br />After Met Council staff have completed their review, the Plan will be forwarded to the Met Council <br />with one of two recommendations: <br />Waiver of Extended Review if the Plan would result in no impact or departure from <br />regional system plans, is consistent with other regional policies, and is compatible with <br />adjacent units of government; or <br />Council Action Item if the Plan does not conform with regional system plans, has a <br />potential impact on or departure from a regional system, is inconsistent with other regional <br />plans or policies, and/or is incompatible with other jurisdictions ’ plans. In this case the Met <br />Council members are provided the opportunity to discuss and debate action on the Plan, and <br />determine whether any modifications will be required.
