Committee Purpose In light of the changes in District 10 that appear to be forthcoming, it makes sense to update our Land Use Plan and review and restate our vision and goals for the district. The Midway Pkwy West Como Small Area Plan was last updated in the mid 90’s and the Lexington/Larpenteur Node Study ad hoc committee completed its report early in 2010.
Over the last year this committee reviewed the existing District 10 Land Use Plan of 2007 and the West Como Midway Parkway Small Area Plan of 1997, as well as the recently adopted Lexington/Larpenteur Node Study to determine their relevance and solicited input from district stakeholders. The goal is to compile a comprehensive up-to-date land use plan that will be adopted in to the City’s comprehensive plan, and to provide a recommendation to the City on how/whether we wish to proceed with any small area plans. The plan and recommendation will provide the City with the vision, policy priorities and strategies we want to guide growth, investment and development in District 10.
Monthly Meetings The District Plan Ad Hoc Committee meets on the 2nd Monday of every month, and meetings are open to the public. Committee members are comprised of District 10 board members and community members. Upcoming meeting dates, times and locations are posted on the District 10 meeting calendar.
