On February 9, 2016, the Duluth city planning commission held a public hearing on the proposal and voted 6 yeas, 0 nays, and 0 abstentions to recommend that the city council approve the rezoning requested for the following reasons:
1.) This proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
2.) The proposed change of these MU-B and R-1 zones to MU-N zone districts are consistent with the future land use category of Neighborhood Mixed Use.
