The City is holding a public hearing for review of the Blaine 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The City began working on the components of the plan in 2017. The components that are part of this Public Hearing include:
• Natural Resources
• Housing
• Economic Development
• Land Use
• Parks, Trails and Recreation
• Transportation
These components were informally reviewed by the Planning Commission earlier in 2018.
A specific part of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan update also includes adding the far northwest section of the City (about 160 acres west of Jefferson Street) into the Metropolitan Urban Services Area (MUSA). MUSA is a planning designation indicating that sanitary sewer capacity is being reserved for this area by the City of Blaine as well as Metro Council Environmental Services. Please note that there are no plans for extension of sanitary sewer services at this time. Individual property notice was sent to these residents.
WSB has been the lead consultant pulling all of the plan components together. WSB will be at the hearing to present the plan summary, process and to answer any questions.
