efits to Prior Lake, including property acquisition and direct support to commercial and industrial devel-
opment. Provide a graphic showing the city owned downtown properties and their usefulness for eco-

provide the EDA with a presentation on the EDAC commercial area liaison program.
History
One of the EDAC’s duties outlined in their Bylaws is, “To serve as a liaison between
city government and the community through interaction with business leaders and
community residents.” To help accomplish this, the EDAC has assigned some of its
members to act as a liaison to five [now six] specific commercial and industrial areas
of the community. The role of the EDAC liaison is to help communicate City and
EDAC activities with business owners and provide an additional point of contact for
their questions and concerns.
Current Circumstances
The presentation will include action items that have been identified and addressed by
the EDAC and City of Prior Lake as a result of this program, as well as areas of con-
cern that have been shared by the business owners in the community.
Conclusion
EDAC members would appreciate comments or recommendations the EDA may have
related to the commercial area liaison program.

EDA / PLANNING COMMISSION WORK SESSION REPORT
MEETING DATE: JUNE 19, 2017
AGENDA #: A
PREPARED BY: CASEY MCCABE, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
PRESENTED BY: CASEY MCCABE
AGENDA ITEM: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DISCUSSION
INTRODUCTION: At approximately 5:00 p.m., Prior Lake’s Planning Commissioners will join
the EDA for a joint meeting related to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan
Update.
TOPICS: During the April 17th meeting, EDA commissioners recommended the EDA
schedule a joint meeting with the Planning Commission to discuss the
Comprehensive Plan update, land use and other topics as they relate to
economic development.
The joint work session will include the review of portions of the Land Use
and Housing Elements of the Comprehensive Plan. City staff will have a
short presentation. Issues to be discussed include:
➢ Revised Transitional Town Center boundaries
➢ Planned Use designation on CSAH 42
➢ Need for Commercial and Industrial land
➢ Planning for the City’s affordable housing allocation
CONCLUSION: City staff will be seeking direction from the Planning Commission and EDA
related to the above topics in order to complete the Land Use and Housing
Plan updates.
The City Council and Planning Commission made some headway in this
regard at their joint meeting on June 12th; however, staff did not receive
definitive direction that they were seeking on these discussion topics.
It would be helpful if the EDA and Planning Commission could make
additional progress with the understanding that their efforts would be
communicated to the City Council as a consent agenda item for council
consideration so that the comprehensive plan update project can remain
on schedule.
