Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This ordinance provides a zoning change from Residential-Urban (R-2) to Mixed Use-Neighborhood (MU-N) for properties in the subject area. The proposed rezoning area is interspersed with uses that are more in keeping with the purpose statement of the proposed MU-N zone district, than the residential focus of R-2 zone district.
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 zone is most reasonably able to implement the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
2) The rezoning is consistent with existing land use patterns in the subject area.
3) Material adverse impacts on nearby properties are not anticipated.
Petitioner:
City of Duluth
