  • City of Duluth 2016 Housing Indicator Report
    City of Duluth 2016 Housing Indicator Report Prepared by: Released: June 2018 Community Planning Division City Hall Room 208 Duluth, MN 55802 http://www.duluthmn.gov/community-planning/ Executive Summary Purpose The Community Planning Division publishes the Housing Indicator Report annually to provide a snapshot of the current housing markets and to understand how those markets have changed over time. We include demographic and workforce statistics to provide context about what kinds of housing options are available and affordable to a diverse range of our community members. Key Findings Average and median home sale price have gradually increased over the past decade and while homeowners’ median household income seems to have stagnated in the past few years, average homeownership costs still appear to be affordable to middle income homeowners. From 2014 to 2015 the average market rent increased drastically by almost $100 a month and while it continued to increase in 2016 to $920, it was a less drastic increase than in the previous year. Average market rate rental housing has not been affordable to the majority of renter households for at least a decade and that trend continues in 2016. This year we focused on some of the systemic issues that contributed to creating the disparities and the wealth gap we see between the higher and lower income neighborhoods in our city. With a better understanding of these disparities and their causes, there can be more informed decisions made about the allocation of services and resources. Examining these historical disparities also provides more context and insight to our housing market.

Among those present was Mayor Samuel F. Snively, the man chiefly responsible for the construction and development of the unique boulevard system. ROAD Through personal determination ROAD and a remarkable talent for rais- ing donations, Snively brought MARK RYAN more than three-quarters of the parkway to fruition, helping establish one of Duluth’s most noted landmarks. Terrace Parkway, as the initial portion of the road was first called, was the brainchild of William K. Rogers, a native of Ohio who became president of the State Bank of Duluth and the city’s first park board. In 1888 Rogers had presented a plan for a hilltop boulevard that would follow the ancient gravel shore- line left by glacial Lake Namadji, a larger ancestor of present-day Lake Superior. A companion park stretching along Lake Superior’s shore from Seventh Avenue East to Fortieth Avenue East would be connected by per- pendicular links following several rivers and creeks that plunged from the crest of the hills toward the lake. In the late 1880s Mr. Ryan is a writer and film maker who Winding Mission Creek Road, native-stone resides in Minneapolis.

    An Update Assessment of Housing Demand in The Downtown District of Duluth, Minnesota Prepared For: Greater Downtown Council and Duluth Economic Development Authority Duluth, MN May 2017 7575 Golden Valley Road Suite 385 Minneapolis, MN 55427 612.338.0012 www.maxfieldresearch.com May 18, 2017 Ms. Kristi Stokes Ms. Heather Rand President Executive Director Greater Downtown Council Duluth Economic Development Authority 5 West 1st Street 411 West First Street Suite 101 402 City Hall Duluth, Minnesota 55802 Duluth, Minnesota 55802 Dear Ms. Stokes and Ms. Rand: Attached is the update assessment of the potential demand for housing in Downtown Duluth. This study focuses on an analysis of demographic trends and current market conditions to support the development of residential units in the Downtown. The study reviews growth trends and resident demographic characteristics, reviews current housing market conditions for for‐sale and rental housing, inventories Downtown population, inventories pending housing developments and quantifies the number of housing units that could be supported in Downtown to 2030. This report identifies demand for housing that would be generated by the draw area population in addition to demand for second residences that would come primarily from households residing outside of the Duluth area that would want to live in Duluth either year‐round or seasonally. Detailed findings are found in the body of the report. We have enjoyed conducting this study for you and are available to answer any questions or provide additional information.

  • Skyline Parkway Corridor Management Plan
    June 2015 Update SKYLINE PARKWAY CORRIDOR MANAGEMENT PLAN City of Duluth Department of Planning & Development in conjunction with LHB Engineers & Architects Arrowhead Regional Development Commission Mary Means & Associates Updated – May 2015 Patrick Nunnally This corridor management plan has been prepared with funding from the State Scenic Byways Program, Minnesota Department of Transportation, and the City of Duluth, Department of Planning & Development "Where in all this wide world could I find such a view as this?” Samuel F. Snively It has been 100 years since Samuel Snively donated the road he built, with its ten wooden bridges crossing Amity Creek, to the Duluth Park Board in order to establish the eastern end of what was to become Duluth's famed boulevard parkway system. During the ensuing century, this remarkable thoroughfare has had many names – Duluth's Highland Boulevard, Terrace Parkway, Rogers Boulevard, Skyline Drive, Snively Boulevard and, officially, Skyline Parkway – yet its essential nature has remained unchanged: "A drive that is the pride of our city, and one that for its picturesque and varied scenery, is second top none in the world ..." (1st Annual Report of the Board of Park Commissioners, 1891). From its inception, the Parkway has formed the common thread which has bound this community together, creating the 'backbone' of the city's expansive park system. Its 46 miles of road range from semi-wilderness to urban in context, and its alignment, following the geography which defines Duluth, provides a unique perspective on what one early twentieth century observer referred to as this "God-graded town". Because Skyline Parkway grew with Duluth, its history – and the physical characteristics which reflect this history – must be preserved.

  • 2006 Comprehensive Plan
    Introduction Introduction Legal Basis for Comprehensive Planning This document, the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Duluth, sets forth the vision, prin- ciples, policies, and recommended strategies that have been embraced by the City to shape its future. This Plan is Duluth’s first adopted Comprehensive Plan since 1927. As comprehen- sive plans typically look forward approximately 20 years, the City has been operating without a common vision or framework on development and protection policies for 60 years. Change has not, however, taken a 60-year hiatus, and the lack of a comprehensive plan foundation has Introduction led to difficult and controversial decision-making. Regulatory structure that was created 50 years ago frequently does not lead to efficient growth patterns and hamstrings efforts to ap- ply sustainable development and protection strategies. Sub-area and neighborhood planning efforts have captured components of the overall vision, but lack the foundation upon which such efforts can cohesively tie together city-wide systems and investments. With the adoption of this Comprehensive Plan the City has now restored its foundation from which it can now shape its own future. Over the last thirty years the City of Duluth has witnessed a dramatic transformation of its local and regional economy, a refocusing on natural resource assets as a defining element of Municipal Comprehensive Plans its community character, and a resurgence of community and neighborhood pride. The City A municipality (i.e., a city or township) may carry desires a plan to guide development and protection decisions and to direct infrastructure on comprehensive planning activities for guiding choices in an era where capital is scarce.
