Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This ordinance provides a zoning change from Rural Residential (RR-1) to Residential-Traditional (R-1). Based on the development pattern of adjacent areas and the purpose statement of R-1 zone districts, rezoning as proposed in the attached map is appropriate for this area. The proposed rezoning to R-1 would allow for residential development to complement the existing single family housing type in the Woodland neighborhood.
On June 8, 2021, the Duluth city planning commission held a hearing on the proposal as described in Attachment 2, and voted 6 yeas, 3 nays, 0 abstention, 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) The proposed zone districts are the most reasonably able to implement the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan related to the proposed land use for this area.
3) Material adverse impacts on nearby properties are not anticipated.
