Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This zoning map amendment provides a zoning change for the properties located in the western portion of the city including Vintage Acres manufactured housing community and the and abutting parcel number 010-2730-002670 from the current zoning districts of Residential-Traditional (R-1), Mixed Use-Business (MU-B) and Industrial-General (I-G) to Residential-Urban (R-2).
On June 23, 2015, the city council unanimously passed a resolution adopting the Gary/New Duluth small area plan (SAP). The SAP recommends to rezone that portion of the Vintage Acres manufactured housing community zoned MU-B and I-G to a zoning designation that is consistent with the comprehensive land use plan. The future land use for this area is traditional residential which could support a rezoning to R-1 or R-2 zone districts.
On October 13, 2015, the Duluth city planning commission held a public hearing on the proposal and voted 8 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 R-2 zone district is consistent with the future land use category of Traditional Neighborhood.
3.) Material adverse impacts on nearby properties are not anticipated.
