Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This ordinance provides a zoning change from Rural Conservation (R-C) to Park and Open Space (P-1) and Rural Residential 1 (RR-1). Based on the development pattern of adjacent areas, future land use designation, and the purpose statement of the P-1 and RR-1 zone districts, rezoning is appropriate for these properties.
This rezoning action is not in anticipation of any specific development proposal; it is instead intended to update the zoning map to reflect the future land use designation. The change to the future land use was part of the Imagine Duluth 2035 Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted (18-0240R) by the city council on June 25, 2018 following a two-year process. This rezoning is part of the 19 referenced in Chapter 11, Land Use, of the Imagine Duluth 2035 Comprehensive Plan.
On October 8, 2019, the Duluth city planning commission held a special public hearing on the proposal as described in Attachment 2, and voted 6 yeas, 0 nays, 0 abstentions, to recommend that the city council approve the rezoning requested for the following reasons:
1) The proposed zone districts are the most reasonably able to implement the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan related to the land use for this area.
2) Material adverse impacts on nearby properties are not anticipated.
Petitioner: City of Duluth
