Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This zoning map amendment provides a zoning change for the park property know as Quarry Park from the current zoning districts of Residential-Urban (R-2) and Industrial-General (I-G) 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 April 20, 2016, the Duluth parks and recreation commission unanimously approved the designation of Quarry Park as city park land.
On May 9, 2016 the Duluth city council approved the mini-master plan for Quarry Park, dedicated the property as city park land, and officially named the site Quarry Park.
On May 24, 2016, 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) The rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive-Plan Future Land Use Map.
2) 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.
3) Material adverse impacts on nearby properties are not anticipated.
