Description: To amend the University of Dubuque Institutional District to allow the construction I
a Welcome Center addition to the Meyers Building.
Dear Mayor and City Council Members: i
The City of Dubuque Zoning Advisory Commission has reviewed the above-cited request. The
application, staff report, and related materials are attached for your review.
Discussion
James Steiner, Vice President of Finance and Auxiliary Services for the University of Dubuque,
spoke in favor of the request, noting the Welcome Center is internally located on campus and
will be connected to the Myers Building.
Staff reviewed the staff report, noting the project location relative to existing campus buildings
and existing streets. Staff said that there are no parking concerns and that development would
need to go through the development review process.
There were no public comments made at the meeting. A neighboring property owner submitted
a letter stating concerns with reduction in the property tax base due to the property being owned
by a tax-exempted entity.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the proposal and felt that it was appropriate.
Recommendation
By a vote of 7 to 0, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council approve
the request.
A simple majority vote is needed for the City Council to approve the request.
Respectfully submitted,
i`5�,-,�1/f`�—:���—
Thomas Henschel, Chairperson
Zoning Advisory Commission

SUBJECT: Amendment to the University of Dubuque Institutional District to allow the
construction of a Welcome Center Addition to the Myers Building.
DATE: April 22, 2019
INTRODUCTION
The University of Dubuque has submitted an application to amend their Institutional
District to allow for the construction of a two-story Welcome Center to be built as an
addition to the existing Myers Building. The subject property is located at the southwest
corner of North Algona and Grace Streets.
DISCUSSION
The Institutional District within the city of Dubuque is primarily applied to our local
colleges, seminaries and hospitals. The Institutional District is a type of Planned Unit
Development that, because of the unique nature of these campuses, have specific
regulations guiding the continued growth and development of these institutions. There
are two reasons to amend an Institutional District established in the Unified
Development Code. The first, property that is currently not zoned Institutional District is
being asked to be rezoned to an institutional classification, and second, that a
significant on-campus project is proposed. The addition to the Myers Building at the
corner of North Algona Street and Grace Street is a significant on-campus project.
The Welcome Center will include six new classrooms, faculty offices, and an auditorium.
These facilities will help address existing needs on the campus for the existing student
and faculty population.
The proposed Welcome Center addition will be built on the north side of the Myers
Building and be adjacent to the new South Commons area that was recently reviewed
and approved by the Zoning Advisory Commission and City Council. The main
entrance into the Welcome Center will be located at the corner of North Algona and
Grace Streets.
Planning staff has reviewed the proposed project with other City Departments and have I
received no concerns with serving the proposed building addition with water and
i
sanitary sewer utilities and fire protection. The proposed addition, if approved, would
then be required to go through the City's standard development review process prior to
the issuance of building permits.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff recommends the Zoning Advisory Commission review the information
provided and make a recommendation to the City Council on the requested Institutional
District amendment.

Subject: UD rezone 1998 and 2120 Grace st. dubuque, IA
RE 1998 and 2120 Grace St.
I assume the UD already owns the properties in question for rezoning. My concern is the continued reduction of
property taxes once the UD or any other institution of higher learning purchases a previously zoned residential property,
that the city property tax base is reduced, and the remaining tax payers have to pickup the balance, that balance was
previously paid by residential homeowners. It appears that the UD has had substantial monetary donations over a 15
year period of time, evidenced by the continuous building. and expansion.
It does not seem out of the question that volunteering to support our community and the city through a contribution to
the tax base is unreasonable. It would indicate the UD is acting in good faith, in support of the city; I have read where
other higher learning institutions have made such donations, in the past to help support the city.
As I know that I have no leverage in the rezoning, I wanted to send my thoughts on the tax issue.

P.S. As a property owner within the neighborhood, since 1993, of several proprieties, we have paid out a total of
approximately$100,000 to $150,000. in property taxes.

Subject: Rezone property at 1998 Grace Street
Regarding the rezoning of property located at 1998 Grace Street from family residential to an institutional district, I have
four concerns. My southern property line will butt up against the proposed weliness center. I am very concerned about
our privacy, noise and rain drainage.
1. Wellness Center. What is the primary purpose of the Wellness Center? Will its activities be used for socialization
outdoors?
2. Privacy. Will the business ofthe proposed wellness center impact my residential privacy at my home? How will the
wellness center separate it's privacy from our privacy?
3. Noise. Will the activities of the proposed wellness center increase the overall noise levels as compared to our current
residental home. I enjoy the use of our back yard for family and friend activities. We especially enjoy quiet uninterrupted
sieep at night.
4. Rain drainage. Will the structure of the proposed wellness center be built to avoid rain and snow drainage on the
residential homes south of the proposed wellness center?
These major concerns should be addressed and reviewed as part of the proposed rezone before a decision is
rentlered. The University of Dubuque is a great school of education. I have no problem with the rezone if they
communicate with the residents directly over our concerns for privacy, noise, and property drainage.
Thank you to the Zoning Advisory Commission forvoicing my concerns.
