Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This ordinance provides a zoning change from from Mixed Use-Commercial (MU-C) and Mixed Use Intuitional (MU-I) to Mixed Use-Neighborhood (MU-N) for properties generally near the corner of East First Street and East Eighth Avenue East, near the general area of the Kitchi Gammi Club, and from mixed Use-Neighborhood (MU-N), Mixed Use-Commercial (MU-C), and Form District Downtown Mix (F-8), to Mixed Use Institutional (MU-I) for properties near the Essentia Health Campus. In the 2006 Comprehensive Land Use Plan, much of this area was assigned the future land use designation of “medical facility”. The Imagine Duluth 2035 Comprehensive Plan affirmed this future land use designation, but with the new term of “institutional”. The proposed rezoning brings the zoning of this area in to conformance with the comprehensive plan.
On May 29, 2019, the Duluth city planning commission held a special public hearing on the proposal as described in Attachment 2, and voted 7 yeas, 0 nays, 0 abstentions, to recommend that the city council approve the rezoning requested for the following reasons:
1) The MU-N and MU-I zones 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) The rezoning is consistent with existing land use patterns in the subject area.
4) Material adverse impacts on nearby properties are not anticipated.
