Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This ordinance provides a zoning change from Residential-Traditional (R-1) and Residential-Urban (R-2) to Mixed Use-Neighborhood for properties generally in the Kenwood Avenue and West Arrowhead Road intersection and the Kenwood Shopping Center area.
On June 7, 2018, a Public meeting was held to discuss proposed land use and zoning changes and gather input from the residents in the Kenwood neighborhood.
On August 14, 2018, the Duluth city planning commission held a public hearing on proposals to amend the Future Land Use Map and the UDC map amendment to rezone portions of West Arrowhead Road and Kenwood Avenue and voted 7 yeas and 1 nay to table the item.
On September 6, 2018, the Duluth city planning commission held a Brown Bag meeting to discuss the proposed land use and zoning changes in the Kenwood neighborhood.
On October 11, 2018, the City held a second public meeting to gather additional input on the proposed land use and zoning changes in the Kenwood neighborhood.
On November 13, 2018, the Duluth city planning commission held a public hearing on the proposal as shown in Attachment 1, and voted 8 yeas, 0 nays, 0 abstentions, to recommend that the city council approve the rezoning requested for the following reasons:
1) The MU-N zone districts are 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) Material adverse impacts on nearby properties are not anticipated.
Petitioner:
As the rezoning is from a residential district R-1 and R-2 to a mixed use-neighborhood district (MU-N), a motion to approve must prevail with an affirmative vote of 2/3 of the city council (per 50-37.3.B.3).
