On July 26, 2016, the Duluth city planning commission held a public hearing on the proposal and voted 6 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 change of these RR-1 zones to MU-B zone districts are consistent with the future land use category of General Mixed Use.
3) Material adverse impacts on nearby properties are not anticipated.
