The 2014 Comprehensive Plan, formally adopted on May 19th <br /> incorporated the Mississippi Connections plan, establishing the area as a formal land use area. The <br /> Comprehensive Plan's goals included the encouragement of strong property maintenance,and <br /> development of housing rehabilitation programs. Per state statute,because the program developed by the <br /> HRA is not income specific,the redevelopment plan,including the geographic area needs to be <br /> confirmed by the Planning Commission as consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> The geographic area as shown on the attachment is generally consistent with the Mississippi Connections <br /> study area,with the exception being the neighborhood south of 2nd street,north of Vernon cemetery was <br /> added. <br /> Staff considered this deviation minor,and consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> None <br /> Attachments <br /> • Location Map <br /> • Resolution Finding the Redevelopment Plan Consistent with Comprehensive Plan <br /> • Redevelopment Plan for Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program <br /> P D W E D E D O T <br /> NATURE <br />
