Comprehensive Plan
Pine Island is proud to have developed a complete community vision in the form of the Pine Island Comprehensive Plan. The Pine Island Planning & Zoning Commission coordinated this effort, which culminated in the adoption of this 115-page update on October 15, 2024. The plan is scheduled to be updated again in 10 years but may undergo periodic minor revisions. (Last revised January 2025)
The plan is a set of goals, policies and objectives that was formulated with public input from residents, businesses, the Pine Island City Council, the Planning & Zoning Commission, MnDOT District 6-Rochester, and neighboring townships and counties.
