§ 4-121 APPENDIX A—ZONING § 4-121
Section 4-121 PI Planned Industrial District.
4-121.1 General Statement of Intent.
The PI Planned Industrial District is created to permit
the establishment of industrial parks and to provide
for the orderly growth of industries on large tracts of
land. This dis*rict provides a protected area for the
development of industry based on performance as well
as type.
The PI Planned Industrial District is established with
the recognition that the economic well-being of the
City and the metropolitan area requires the expansion
of industrial development. It is also recognized that
the lack of land available and adaptable for such
development may require consideration of locating
new industrial development in areas adjacent to or
highly visible from existing and future residential
neighborhoods.
Therefore, it is the purpose of these regulations to
provide the necessary standards for development and
special procedures for plan approval which will
maximize the protentials of industrial development
and at the same time reduce to a minimum the impact
of that industrial development on surrounding nonin-
dustrial land uses or on the natural environment.
(Ord. No. 29-80, § 2, 5-5-80)
4-121.2 Establishment of PI Planned Industrial District
4-121.2.1 By Owner
A Planned Industrial District may be established
on a tract of land in single ownership or
management control provided that the prelimi-
nary development plan and the application for
change of zoning are approved by the City
Council, and a final development plan is approved
by the Planning and Zoning Commission in
compliance with requirements of this Section.
Supp. No. 7
2580.1
§ 4-121 DUBUQUE CODE § 4-121
4-121.2.2 By City
A Planned Industrial District may be established
by ordinance of the City of Dubuque City Council
in the same manner that other mapped districts
are established where the City Council determines
that any particular tracts or areas should be
developed for industrial use, but because of
potential conflicts with adjoining uses, existing or
potential, a greater degree of control of the
manner of development is necessary to protect the
general welfare than is possible under the
regulations of the other "I" Industrial Districts.

Industrial District. (Ord. No. 29-80, § 2, 5-5-80)
Section 4-122 C-7 General service and wholesale
commercial district.
4-122.1 General Statement of Intent
The C-7 General Service and Wholesale Commercial
District is intended to provide areas for a variety of
service and wholesale uses as well as some limited
office, retail and industrial activities.
The uses permitted in this district are typically
characterized by large storage space requirements, by
a relatively high volume of truck traffic ' and low
volume of customer traffic, by major repair of motor
vehicles, or by outdoor storage. Unless their develop-
ment and operation is adequately planned and
controlled, these uses can lead to an erratic and
incomplete land development pattern, a loss of value
and utility in surrounding properties and a reduction
of the safety and efficiency of public streets.
For these reasons, the regulations of this district are
directed toward buffering the negative aspects and
side effects of these uses upon neighboring properties
and the community in general and toward protecting
the safety and utility of the public streets. Special
emphasis shall be placed on traffic considerations and
site design standards in decisions concerning permit-
ted uses, conditional uses, variances and creation of
new C-7 Commercial Districts. (Ord. No. 54-80, § 2,
8-18-80)
