Unified Development Chapter


The Unified Development Chapter of the City of Duluth
Legislative Code (UDC) is the new set of zoning regulations
for the City of Duluth
The UDC was drafted to implement the City’s 2006
Comprehensive Land Use Plan, which is the community’s
vision for growth and development in Duluth over the next
20 years.
Rezoning



Zoning is the legal body of rules that cities create to
regulate how land is developed and used.
There are several areas of the city where existing zoning is
inconsistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
Over the next year, the City will be reviewing those areas
closely to determine if they need to be rezoned.

The purpose of a Mixed Use-Neighborhood (MU-N) Zone

The MU-N district is established to accommodate a mix of
neighborhood-scale, neighbor-hood serving non-residential uses
and a range of residential uses located in close proximity.

This district accommodates both horizontal (uses located in
separate structures) and vertical (uses located in the same building)
types of mixed use.

Non-residential uses may include small-scale retail, service and
professional offices that provide goods and services to the residents
of the surrounding neighborhood.
