Statement of Purpose

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:  This zoning map amendment provides a zoning change for the park properties located in the central portion of the City including Basketball Court, Chester Bowl, Chester Park, Lower Chester Community Recreation Center, Endion Community Recreation Center, Hillside Sport Court Community Recreation Center, Lakeview Park, Munger Park, and Portland Square from the current zoning districts of Residential-Traditional (R-1), Residential-Urban (R-2) and Form District 6 (F-6) Mid-Rise Neighborhood Shopping to Park and Open Space (P-1).

 

On February 11, 2015 the Duluth parks and recreation commission unanimously passed a resolution in support of the rezoning of city park property.

 

On July 14, 2015, the Duluth city planning commission held a public hearing on the proposal and voted 7 yeas, 0 nays, and 0 abstentions, to recommend that the city council approve the rezoning requested for the following reasons:

 

1) Rezoning to Park and Open Space (P-1) is the zone most reasonably able to implement the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan related to the proposed land use for this area.

 

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

 

3) While providing protection for this area, the P-1 zone will also provide flexibility to permitted uses the ability to improve their facilities, via the Special Use Permit process as required by Section 50-37.10, in order to increase their public benefit. 

 

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