Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This ordinance provides a zoning change from Rural-Conservation (R-C), Rural Residential 1 (RR-1), and Residential-Traditional (R-1) to Parks and Open Space (P-1). This ordinance will zone approximately 660 acres near Hartley Park, approximately 2,000 acres near the Frederick Rodney Paine Forest Preserve, and approximately 1,700 acres near the Magney-Snivley Natural Area.
This rezoning ordinance is not in anticipation of any specific development proposal; it is instead intended to update the zoning map to reflect the future land use designation. Open Space is a new future land use designation, created with the Imagine Duluth 2035 Comprehensive Plan. It is a combination of two previous future land use categories, Preservation and Recreation. Because of overlap and similarity, the Preservation and Recreation land uses were merged to form a new category, Open Space. P-1 is an appropriate zoning designations for properties with the future land use designation of Open Space.
The Park and Open Space (P-1) zone district is intended to protect and preserve lands for recreational, scenic and natural resource uses. It is intended to be applied to publicly owned land but may be applied to private property with the landowner’s written consent. Both passive recreational and active recreational uses may be permitted. Changing the zoning designation from R-1, R-C, RR-1 to P-1 better communicates the city’s intentions of keeping these areas generally reserved for public use, and not for future residential, commercial, or industrial development. Regardless of the zoning designation, the Duluth Parks and Recreation Department generally still coordinates activities, management, and master planning of these areas, as applicable. The P-1 zoning designation is not permanent, and may be changed to a different zoning designation following the process outlined in Chapter 50 of the city code.
On December 10, 2019, the Duluth city planning commission held a public hearing on the proposal as described in Attachments 1, 2, and 3, and voted 9 yeas, 0 nays, 0 abstentions, to recommend that the city council approve the rezoning requested for the following reasons:
1) The proposed zone districts are the most reasonably able to implement the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan related to the land use for this area.
2) Material adverse impacts on nearby properties are not anticipated.
3) The rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive-Plan Future Land Use Map.
