The city is not being asked to 'adopt' the Plan, but merely ta review it and corr�nent back to the State's Board. I am distributing to you copies of the Planning Commission's review and resolution for review preparatory to your final action. The Planning Division and representation from District 7 have worked for the past year and one half in the deve7opment of the current Plan. In fact, two St.Paul city planners helped develup and draft portions of the Plan in an effort to cooperate _ _ closely with the State's planning efforts. Because of this, the resulting Compr�hensive ._ Plan is quite cansistent with pol�cies of the City of St. Paul . There are, however, two key issues where efforts of the City and State need further coordination. First is the State's approach to future office space expansion, w hich is currently uncertain. The city must urge the State to continue expansian into privately-owned 7ease space in downtown St. Paul . The State's other available options for office . space expansion are: within the Capitol Area; in the Space Center area; or in a suburban location. These options should be discouraged. __ . ... _ ., ., The second issue is the need for stabilization of neighborhoods and commercial areas within the Capitol Area. The State, City and District 7 should work even more closely '� in attracting development which will both stabilize and improve neighborhoods within the Capitol Area. The Planning Commission r2port and resolution deal with these two issues in greater detail . The city should be pleased with our growing relation with the Capitol Area Architectural and Planning Board. This latest planning effort has benefited from that improving relationship. I trust further coordination will help resolve the remaining issues .
