Statement of Purpose

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:  This ordinance provides a zoning change from Industrial Waterfront (I-W) and Residential-Traditional (R-1) to Rural-Conservation (R-C), Parks and Open Space (P-1) and Residential-Traditional (R-1), for areas near the Indian Point Campground.  This will update the city’s zoning map to more clearly reflect the actual usage of the subject areas (recreation, with some limited residential).

This rezoning action is being done by the city of Duluth to address a discrepancy between the zoning map and the future land use map, and it is not in anticipation of any specific potential development, proposal, or project.  The city is amending the zoning map throughout the city, and this is one of the many zoning projects, both large and small, being proposed to the planning commission over the next several months prior to the public hearing and adoption process for the Imagine Duluth 2035 Comprehensive Plan.

Based on the future land use designation of the subject property, purpose statements of the I-W, R-1, R-C, and P-1 zone districts, current land use of the subject property, and the character of the surrounding properties in the neighborhood, rezoning to R-1, R-C, and P-1 is appropriate for the subject area.

On November 14, 2017, the Duluth city planning commission held a public hearing on the proposal as shown in Attachment 2, and voted 5 yeas, 0 nays, 0 abstentions, and 4 commissioners absent to recommend that the city council approve the rezoning requested for the following reasons:

1) The rezoning is generally consistent with the Comprehensive-Plan Future Land Use Map.

2) Material adverse impacts on nearby properties are not anticipated.

As the rezoning is from a residential district to a special purpose district, a motion to approve must prevail with an affirmative vote of 2/3 of the city council (per 50-37.3.B.3).
