(b) Upon the filing of such application, the building com-
missioner shall immediately notify the historic preservation
commission of the receipt of such application, and shall trans-
mit it, together with accompanying plans and other informa-
tion to the commission, unless it pertains solely to the interior

(c) The historic preservation commission shall meet within
fourteen (14) days after notification by the building com-
missioner of the filing, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon

viewing the plans, the commission may confer with the appli-
cant or his authorized representative.
(d) The commission shall approve or disapprove such plans,
and if [they are] approved, shall issue a certificate of appro-

cate and shall take such action as is necessary to enforce
compliance with the approved plans.

historic district where such maintenance or repair does not
involve a material change of appearance, as herein defined.

ordinance entitled "Supplementary District Regulations".
Section 4-102 AG—Agricultural district regulations
4-102.1 General Statement of Intent
The AG Agricultural District is intended to conserve
prime farm land for agricultural purposes and to
serve as a "holding" zone to prevent the premature
development of recently -annexed land areas for which
themost appropriate future use has not yet been de-
termined. In order to promote these purposes, the
regulations for this district allow a very limited range
of uses so that the present development character of
the land may be maintained and future development
options preserved pending comprehensive study and
analysis of the area.
2489
§ 4-102 DUBUQUE, CODE § 4-103
4.102.2 Principal Permitted Uses.
1) Agricultural use, including the raising of field
crops and livestock, horticulture, forestry, animal
husbandry, and similar farming activities.
2) Public or private parks, golf courses, or similar
natural recreation areas.
3) All buildings, structures, or uses owned or operated
by the City of Dubuque.
4) Railroads and public or quasi -public utility .sub-
stations.

Uses customarily incident to and on the same lot with
any of the principal permitted uses enumerated in

hibited by 4-102.5 of this Section. A single family
dwelling is a permissible accessory use, but only on a
lot of 10 acres or more devoted primarily to agricul-
tural use.

4-102.5 Prohibited Uses
No commercial use of any type shall be permitted in

Section 4-103 General statement of intent for residential dis-
tricts
The residential districts and regulations provided for by
this ordinance are intended to offer a variety of housing types
and living environments meeting the needs and desires of
present and future residents of the City. The residential dis-
trict regulations are also intended to promote and protect to
the greatest degree possible the qualities of tranquility, pri-
vacy, stability, attractiveness, and spaciousness which are
traditionally associated with the most desirable residential en -
2490
§ 4-103 APPENDIX A -ZONING § 4-104
vironments. Only those uses deemed fully compatible with
and supportive of these purposes are allowed by right in the
residential districts. Certain other uses which are deemed
generally compatible with the residential goals and which
depend upon a residential atmosphere for their optimum
performance may be allowed as conditional uses upon .a show-
ing that proper conditions are met to reduce any potentially
adverseimpacts of such uses upon the district or neighborhood
concerned. It is further the express intent of this ordinance
that no residential district should be considered inherently
inferior or superior to another, but that each residential dis-
trict should be judged equally in light of its particular pur-
pose and the purposes of this ordinance.
Section 4-104 R -1 -Residential district regulations
4404.1 General Statement of Intent

borhoods which have been developed in substantial con-
formance with the regulations for this district and un-
developed areas in the City which are deemed suitable
for such development. It is further intended that the
R-1 classification should generally be applied only to
contiguous and discrete residential neighborhoods
which are unpenetrated by arterial streets. When super-
imposed with the PUD District designation, a higher
range and intensity of uses may be permitted in the
R-1 District than is otherwise permitted under this
Section. The PUD District provisions and regulations
may be superimposed upon the R-1 District in accord-
ance with Section 4=110 of this Article, entitled "PUD

(6) additional months upon a showing of good
cause. If construction of the Planned Unit De-
velopment has not commenced within such period
of validity, approval of the Final Development
Plan and tentative reclassification of the property
shall lapse, and the property shall automatically
revert to the zoning classification it had prior to
approval of the Preliminary Development Plan.
Section 4-111 [Reserved for future addendum]
Section 4-112 C-1 Commercial district regulations
4-112.1 General Statement of Intent
The C-1 Commercial District is intended to provide
for small clusters of commercial establishments pri-
marily serving the daily needs of nearby residents.
Commercial uses which by virtue of their size or type
of service would tend to attract customers from a
broader area than the local neighborhood are not per-
mitted in this district.
To assure proper vehicular access and avoid the pene-
tration of residential areas by uses which may adverse-
ly affect the residential environment, new C-1 Commer-
cial Districts will generally be established only along
largercollector streets or arterialstreets bordering dis-
crete residential neighborhoods. In older areas of the
City developed prior to the existence of zoning regula-
tions, the C-1 Commercial District may be located with-
in discrete residential neighborhoods, particularly in
locations where a long history of commercial use and
continued commercial viability is present. However,
in both older and newer areas of the City, zoning policy
will be directed towards gradually encouraging the
centralization and functional coalescence of businesses
within this district and discouraging the scattering
throughout residential neighborhoods of C-1 Districts
to accommodate a single use.

4-118.6 Special Provisions and Procedures Governing the
Expansion of Institutional Districts and Uses
4-118.6.1 Statement of Intent
It is 'the intent of this Section to require proper
preliminary planning by the institution and ap-
propriate governmental review as a pre-requisite
to the expansion or creation of any ID Institutional
District. The Council finds that "such preliminary
planning is necessary to insure that as existing
institutions expand in size or intensity of use, or
2569
Supp. No. 1
§ 4-118 DUBUQUE CODE § 4-118
as new institutions are formed, the probable im-
pacts. of such growth on the surrounding com-
munity and the public welfare can be anticipated
and evaluated in advance.
Certain provisions and procedures of the PUD
Planned Unit Development District considered
appropriate to accomplish these goals are adopted
or referred to in this Section, and should be read
in pari materia with the provisions of this Sec-
tion.
4-118.6.2 Application and Scope
The provisions of this Section shall apply to the
following activities or developments:
1) The proposed creation through reclassification
of any new ID Institutional District or re-
quested expansion in territory of any existing
Institutional District.
2) Any expansion in the aggregate gross floor
area for all uses contained within an ID In-
stitutional District which would result in ag-
gregate gross floor area for such district of
more than ten percent (10% ) above that ag-
gregate gross floor area for the district exist-
ing at the effective date of this ordinance.
4-118.6.3 Prior Preliminary Development Plan Approv-
al Required --Procedures
None of the activities listed in 4-118.6.2 of this
Section shall be permitted unless such activity is in
substantial conformance with a Preliminary De-
velopment Plan filed and approved not less than
two (2) months before commencement of the ac-
tivity. Such Preliminary Development Plan shall
be prepared and submitted in conformance with
all relevant requirements and procedures of Sec-
tions 4-110.7 and 4-110.8 of this ordinance, which
are hereby adopted by reference. The Commission
and Council shall act on the Preliminary Develop -
2570
Supp. No. 1
§ 4-118 APPENDIX A—ZONING § 4-118
ment Plan as provided in Section 4-110.11 of this
ordinance, the relevant provisions of which are
hereby adopted by reference, with the following
exceptions

judged according to the review standards of
4-118.6.4 of this Section rather than the usual
PUD standards.
2) Approval of the Preliminary Development
Plan shall be valid for a period of three (3)
years.
3) A new or amended Preliminary Development
Plan may be filed without cost at any time
following Council disapproval.
4-118.6.4 Special Review Standards for Institutional
District Preliminary Development Plans

approve the Preliminary Development Plan re-
quired by •4-118.6.3 unless and until the Com-
mission determines that such plan conforms to
each of the following standards :
1) The Preliminary Development Plan is in sub-
stantial conformance with adopted Compre-
hensive Plans to guide the future growth and
development of Dubuque.
Expansions contemplated by the Plan are
justifiable and reasonable in light of the pro-
jected needs of the institution and the public
welfare.
3) . The proposed additions or expansions are de-
signed so as to be functionally integrated with
the existing institutional facilities, with due
regard to the maintenance of safe, efficient,
and convenient vehicularand pedestrian traf-
fic.
2571
§ 4418 DUBUQUE CODE § 4418
The proposed additions or expansions of use
are permitted in the district and are of a loca-
tion, size, and nature such that they are not
likely to interfere with the .appropriate use
and enjoyment of property in abutting dis-
tricts.
The Preliminary Development Plan will not
violate any provision or requirement of this
ordinance.
4-118.6.5 Final Development Plan Requirements and
Procedures
At anytime within the three (3) years following
approval of a Preliminary Development Plan, the
institution may file with the Commission a Final
Development Plan for the proposed additions or
expansions in accordance with the relevant provi-
sions and requirements of Section 4-110.12 of the
PUD Planned Unit Development District Regula-
tions of this ordinance, hereby adopted by refer-
ence. The Commission will judge the Final De-
velopment Plan for its conformance with the ap-
proved ` Preliminary Development Plan, according
to the criteria of Section 4-110.12.4.2. If the Com-
mission approved the Final Development Plan as
being in substantial conformance with the ap-
proved Preliminary Development Plan, issuance
of building permits shall be permitted as provided
in 4-110.12.5. In reviewing the Final Development
Plan, the Commission shall not consider the stand-
ards of 4-110.12.4.3 ` or 4-110.12.4.4 regarding
maintenance of open space, common property, pri-
vate streets, and useable open space, except where
the Commission determines that application of
such standards is necessary to preserve the intent
of the Institutional District.
Following approval of the Final Development Plan,
no construction may take place except in substan-

or other facility permitted under 4-118.3 of this
Section.
The purpose of this provision is to prohibit within an
ID Institutional District the commencement of uses

charitable, religious, or medical purpose of the institu-
tion, by requiring purchasers of institutional land and/
or buildings to seek appropriate reclassification of the
property prior to commencement of any use on the
premises.

ARTICLE VIM AMENDMENTS AND ZONING
RECLASSIFICATION; PROCEDURES AND POLICIES
Section 8-101 General statement of intent
The Council recognizes that the public welfare may from
time to time require changes to be made in the text of this
ordinance or in district boundaries. The Council finds, how-
ever, that the maintenance of the comprehensive plan for the
City depends in large measure upon the uniform and con-
tinuing application of the provisions of this ordinance, and
particularly the general zoning policies set forth in the various
statements of intent contained herein. For these reasons the
Council declares it to be the express policy of this ordinance
that textual amendments or reclassifications of property
should only be undertaken after a careful consideration of the
Public necessity therefor and the relationship of such pro-
posed change to the comprehensive plan. The Council intends
in its own deliberations to give most serious attention to the
recommendations and advice of the Planning Commission in
these matters.
This Article sets forth the procedures and policies to be
followed where changes to the ordinance or districts are pro
2629
§ 8-101 DUBUQUE CODE § 8-102
posed. The public hearing, and notice requirements contained
herein are intended to promote the involvement of all in-
terested persons in the amendment process. However, where
the notice and hearing requirements of this Article are in
excess of that required by State law, such requirements are
intended to be directory only and not mandatory or jurisdic-
tional, and a failure to meet such extra procedural require-
ments shall not invalidate any action subsequently taken by
the Council or Commission.
Section 8-102 Ordinance amendment procedure
8-102.1 Commission Action

sions of this ordinance by delivery of two (2) copies
of the proposed amendment to the Planning Depart-
ment. Such proposals shall be considered in regular
session by the Planning Commission, which shall dili-
gently act to set the proposal for public hearing as pro-
vided in Section 8-104. Following the public hearing,
the Commission shall act to approve or disapprove the
proposed amendment. The affirmative vote of at least
five (5) Commission members shall be required toi con-
stitute approval of the proposal, and any lesser number
of affirmative votes shall be considered disapproval
of the amendment. The Commission's recommendation
shall be forthwith transmitted to Council for its action.
A failure by the Commission to act within sixty (60)
days following receipt of the proposed amendment
shall constitute Commission approval thereof.
8-102.2 Council Action:
Following receipt of the Commission's recommenda-
tion or expiration of the sixty (60) day limit for Corn -
mission action, the Council shall act to hold its own
public hearing on the proposed amendment, at which

then at any time following receipt of the reclassifica-
tion request, the Commission may act to recommend
approval or disapproval of the request. The affirmative
vote of at least five (5) Commission members shall be
required to constitute approval of a substantial zoning
reclassification request as defined in Section 8-103.3,
and any lesser number of affirmative votes shall con-
stitutea disapproval of the request. A failure of the
Commission to consider a zoning reclassification re-
quest within 60 days following receipt of the request
shall constitute Commission approval thereof. A recom-
mendation of the Commission shall forthwith be trans-
mitted to the City Council for its action. (Ord. No.
22-76, § 1, 6-21-76)
8-103.5 Council Action.
Following receipt of any recommendation of the Com-
mission, or on finding that the Commission has not con-
sidered the request within the sixty (60) day limita-
tion, the City Council may initiate final action on the
request. A Commission recommendation for denial of
a request may be approved by the Council without

of the time and place of such hearing shall be pub-
lished in the newspaper of general circulation in the

cluded in such request, or of those immediately adja-
cent in the rear thereof extending the depth of one lot
or not to exceed two hundred feet (200') therefrom or

of one lot or not to exceed two hundred feet (200')
from the street frontage of such opposite lots, such re-
quests shall not be enacted except by the favorable
vote of at least three-fourths (3/4) of the Council.
