Dear Council President Lantry and Councilmembers:
lt is my pleasure to transmit to you the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and to recommend its adoption.
The Plan includes chapters on Land Use, Transportation, Parks and Recreation, Housing, Historic
Preservation, and Water Resources Management, as well as the Introduction and Implementation
sections.
The goal of the Plan, as stated in the Introduction, is "to keep Saint Paul vibrant and healthy without
compromising its high quality of life or changing its spirit." The strategies and policies in all the chapters
can be seen as tools to achieve this goal
Prepared under the supervision of the Planning Commission, work on the P/an began in Fall 2005 and
included the appointment of six community-based task forces of both residents and people
knowledgeable about the subject of individual chapters in the Plan. Each task force was chaired by a
member of the Planning Commission. In addition, the Parks Commission was involved in the preparation
of the Parks and Recreation chapter, as was the Heritage Preservatio� Commission in the Historic
Preservation chapter. Subsequently, public hearings were held on each chapter, as well as the
Introduction and Implementation sections.
Strategies and policies in the Plan are intended to be consistent with the Metropolitan Council's Regional
Development Framework and with its systems statements for transportation, parks, and water.
The Council initially considered each element in the Plan, approving Yhem contingent on Metropolitan
Council review. That review was completed and the Metropolitan Council on December 9, 2009,
authorized the City to formally adopt the Saint Pau/ Comprehensive Plan and to implement its strategies
and policies. Changes recommended by the Metropolitan Council were technical in nature; the
Metropolitan Council requested no substantive changes to policies in the Plan
Attached is the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission recommends its adoption. I
concur with the recommendation.
