Notice of Public Hearing Related to a Complete Zoning Code Update

 

Notice is hereby given that the Nashwauk City Council will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. at Nashwauk City Hall, 301 Central Avenue to consider adoption of a zoning code update, which revises Chapter 152: Zoning Code.  

 

The Nashwauk City Council has prioritized a zoning code update to make the community more open to development, particularly housing. Modernizing and reducing barriers to housing development can make it easier for developers to find and construct housing in the community. A zoning code update can help attract State and Federal funding, as communities that adopt zoning reforms to facilitate housing development may become eligible for additional funding opportunities. Also, a zoning code update is being considered to promote economic development and revitalization. It will enable a mix of housing types. The zoning map will also be refreshed. Once completed, the map will be added as a layer in Itasca County GIS, which will provide users with the ability to identify zoning by address or street intersections.

 

Changes to the zoning code include allowances for housing in C-1 and C-2 Commercial districts, updated definitions, listed home occupations as permitted versus conditional use, and revised parking standards to allow shared parking.

 

The public hearing will provide an opportunity for interested parties to hear and see all information related to the proposed changes, ask questions, provide additional information, and express support or opposition.
