2030 VISION ELEMENT

Quality Community Growth

2030 VISION ELEMENTS

Quality community growth is of paramount importance to Prior Lake’s citizens as our population grows from 20,000 to more than 40,000 between 2005 and 2030.

This growth will continue to present both challenges and opportunities.

The challenges associated with community growth and urban expansion include planning for the increased demand on municipal services, infrastructure, public facilities and amenities while maintaining economic vitality and the preservation of Prior Lake's unique historical roots and cherished small-town feel and values.

The opportunity is for Prior Lake in 2030 to be characterized by the things our citizens cherish most: open and natural settings, small-town feel and attractiveness of its lakes.

FIVE-YEAR GOAL: Implement and periodically update the 2030 Comprehensive Plan to guide growth of the city.

TWO-YEAR OBJECTIVES:
n Incorporate changes in the document necessitated by development, annexation, metropolitan or state mandates to assure continuing accuracy of the document.

n Implement and periodically update zoning and comprehensive plan guidelines to preserve the small town feel.

FIVE-YEAR GOAL: Assure that urban expansion occurs in a well-planned and orderly manner and that annexed property is developed in accordance with the City's planning and zoning requirements.

TWO-YEAR OBJECTIVES:
n Identify and preserve through comprehensive planning and zoning, acreage for future needs, e.g. commercial, school, park, open space and residential uses.

n Plan infrastructure improvements and identify available revenue sources in the Capital Improvement Program in accordance with the annexation schedule in the orderly annexation agreement.

n Execute agreements with surrounding cities, townships and the county to extend city zoning and subdivision ordinance provisions to future annexation areas.

n Encourage the connectivity of neighborhoods to maintain and improve the values that are important to Prior Lake.

n Explore orderly annexation agreements and cooperative agreements with surrounding communities/townships.

FIVE-YEAR GOAL: Proactively engage our citizens in the planning process, and communicate changes to the City Comprehensive Plan, ordinances, Capital Improvement Plan and other plans as they occur.

FIVE-YEAR GOAL: Publicize community safety efforts.

TWO-YEAR OBJECTIVES:
n Identify and preserve through comprehensive planning and zoning, acreage for future needs, e.g. commercial, school, park, open space and residential uses.

n Eliminate the outdoor storage of inoperable or unlicensed vehicles.

n Clean up areas which may pose a risk to the City’s wellhead protection area or cause pollution to area surface water ponds, wetlands and lakes.
