PROGRAM DESCRIPTION <br /> A major component of this Comprehensive Plan is the orderly development of land within the <br /> city.

Elements <br /> within this plan include overall land use for residential, industrial, commercial, and park use. In <br /> addition, careful attention was paid to the transportation network and utilities. For each of <br /> these elements, a set of goals and policies were identified and the current status was <br /> evaluated. From this information, a plan was developed and a set of necessary actions were <br /> identified for effective implementation. The net result of this effort is a comprehensive land use <br /> • plan and a set of implementation tools with which the city will guide its future development. <br /> E.

It <br /> constitutes the City's Comprehensive Plan pursuant to Minnesota Statutes.
