The com- prehensive plan the City of Eagan is presently preparing must contain objec- tives, policies, standards and programs to guide public and private land use development, redevelopment, and preser- vation for all lands and waters within the jurisdiction of the City, through 1990. The proposed comprehensive plan will specify expected industrial and com- mercial development, planned population distributions and local public facility capacity upon which the plan is based. Eagan's comprehensive plan is divided into ten sections, these sections in- clude : 1. Goals and Policy 2. Survey and Analysis 3. Land Use 4.• Park Guide 5. Utilities Plan 6. Capital Improvements Program 7. Transportation Plan 8. Housing Plan 9. Ordinances 10. Implementation Of these ten sections, four of the sec- tions generally attract the greatest pub - lic interest. These sections are: 1. Land Use - A land use plan shall designate the existing and proposed lo- cation, intensity and extent of use of land and water for agricultural, resi- dential, commercial, industrial, and other public and private purposes, or any combination of such purposes. A land use plan shall also include a housing element containing standards, plans and programs for providing ade- quate housing opportunities to meet existing and projected local and re- gional housing needs, including but not limited to the use of official controls COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 4 and land use planning to promote till availability of land for the develop- ment of low and moderate income housing. 2. Park Plan - A parks and open space plan describing, designating and scheduling the existing and proposed parks and recreation open spaces with- in the jurisdiction. 3. Transportation Plan A transporta- tion plan describing, designating and scheduling the location, extent, func- tion and capability of existing and pro- posed local public and private transpor- tation services and facilities. 4. Housing Plan - In the public inte- rest for certain portions of the builda- ble residential land, official controls imposed on development by municipali- ties in the metropolitan area are re- quired to permit the construction of mo- dest cost housing by the private sector which could be afforded by a signif cant portion of the families in the m tropolitan area. A reduced copy of the proposed Eagan Land Use Plan has been enclosed in this newsletter for your review. The Eagan Advisory . Planning Commis- sion, along with the City Council and City staff, began working on the Eagan Comprehensive Plan in January 1979.

The Informal Public Hearings are scheduled to provide all citizens of the community an opportunity to re- view and comment on the proposed preli- minary Comprehensive Plan. The final Public Hearing will be held later in the spring.
