Elk River C.prehensve Plan <br /> II � <br /> >5"4 <br /> e <br /> Ow <br /> Amendments to the Plan may originate from the City Council, Boards and Commissions, <br /> or another party with a vested interest in an effected property. Adoption of <br /> amendments, however, can only be accomplished by City Council resolution. <br /> Measurements of Progress <br /> The City should periodically review its progress on implementing the Comprehensive <br /> Plan. The City could also consider developing a set of indicators to help measure <br /> the progress of the Plan. City staff, the Planning Commission, City Council and <br /> other Boards should periodically review progress on this Plan and make adjustments <br /> accordingly. <br /> In adopting this Plan, the City of Elk River makes a commitment to use the Plan as a <br /> means of evaluating a variety of private and public projects. This evaluation requires <br /> using a series of questions to consider the merits of the project: <br /> Is the project consistent with the land use plan? <br /> Does the project move Elk River towards its vision for the future? <br /> Is the project consistent with the policies contained in the Plan? <br /> A negative answer to one or more of these questions may illustrate flaws in the <br /> proposed project. These flaws may be fundamental and require denial of the project, <br /> but modifications to the project that bring it into compliance with the Plan may be <br /> possible. Negative answers to the questions listed above might, however, point to <br /> a need to amend the Plan. In such circumstances in which a noncompliant project <br /> underscores a potential flaw in the Plan, then an effort to properly amend the plan <br /> should be initiated. Not following the Plan in order to allow projects to move forward <br /> will eventually render the Comprehensive Plan useless. <br /> 18 / Chapter 3: Using the Plan <br />
