The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
City of Dubuque
City Hall — 50 W. 13t" Street
Dubuque IA 52001
Applicant: Terry Huseman
Location: 2571 John F. Kennedy Road
Description: To rezone property from OR Office Residential to C-3 General
Commercial zoning district with conditions to allow an electrical contractor
shop.
Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
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
The applicant Terry Huseman spoke in favor of the request noting that he purchased
the property in late spring 2022 and the property is not zoned correctly for an electrical
contractor shop. He explained his proposed use of the property, improvements for a
paved driveway to the rear of the building and installation of a screening fence. He said
he wished to continue operating his business at this location and was requesting a
rezoning to allow an electrical contractor shop.
Staff reviewed the staff report noting the property location, size, and existing
development and identified the surrounding zonings designations. Staff outlined the
general operations of the proposed electrical contractor shop and clarified that the
project would require site plan review which would include review of stormwater
management, screening, and other site development requirements. Staff provided a
memorandum of agreement recommending conditions regarding outside storage and
striking several permitted uses from the C-3 regulations.
There was one public comment. Tom Stovall, 3345 Tibey Court, spoke in opposition of
the request. He expressed concerns about privacy, the parking area in the back of the
property, existing stormwater issues that this project may exacerbate, and that it would
not fit aesthetically in the neighborhood.

The Zoning Commission discussed the request, noting an opportunity to address or
alleviate the site's existing issues as well as limiting future uses at the property to those
that would have a minimal impact on adjacent properties. The Commission discussed
striking additional uses beyond what staff had already recommended. Namely Laundry,
dry cleaner, or laundromat (26), Mortuary or funeral home (30), and private club (39).
One commissioner felt the C-3 district is not a good fit for the property in this
neighborhood and they could not support the request.
Recommendation
By a vote of 4 to 1, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council
approve the request with the conditions outlined in the attached signed memorandum of
agreement.
Respectfully submitted,
Matt Mulligan, Chairperson
Zoning Advisory Commission

REZONING STAFF REPORT
Property Address: 2571 John F. Kennedy Road
Property Owner: Huseman Properties
Applicant: Terry Huseman
Zoning Agenda: January 5, 2022
Description: To rezone property from OR Office Residential to C-3 General
Commercial zoning district to allow an electrical contractor shop.
Proposed Land Use: Commercial/Contractor Shop
Existing Land Use: Commercial
Adjacent Land Use: North — General Office
East —
Single -Family Residential
South
— Single -Family Residential
West —
Single -Family Residential
Former Zoning: 1934
— LBB
1975
— OR-1
1985—OR
Total Area: .68 acres / 29,620 square feet
Proposed Zoning: C-3c
Existing Zoning: O-R
Adjacent Zoning: North — OR
East — R-1
South — R-1
West — R-1
Property History: The subject property is comprised of two parcels. The northern parcel
contains an existing one-story 1,200 sq. ft. metal storage building that was constructed in
1965. The southern parcel is improved with two buildings; a one-story 864 sq. ft. wood
framed commercial building that was previously used as a beauty shop and an attached
one-story 2,410 sq. ft. metal storage building, both constructed in 1959.
Physical Characteristics: The subject property is comprised of two parcels, which are
each approximately .34 acres/14,810 sq. ft. in area. Both parcels take access from John F.
Kennedy Road through an existing curb cut located primarily on the southern parcel. The
subject property slopes downhill approximately 18 ft. from the highest point along the
northern property line to the lowest point at the southwest corner of the site.
Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan goals promote infill
and mixed -use development. The goals also recommend buffering non -compatible uses
from each other. The City's Future Land Use Plan identifies this area as Commercial.
Rezoning Staff Report — 2571 John F. Kennedy Rd. Page 2
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: The area is adequately served by both City water and sanitary sewer. There are
mains for each in the John F. Kennedy Road right-of-way.
Traffic Patterns/Counts: The 2017 Iowa Department of Transportation traffic counts indicate
an average daily traffic count of 11,600 along this section of John F. Kennedy. Traffic
generated to the proposed electrical contractor shop will be primarily employees and
therefore the proposed use is anticipated to have limited impact on the overall traffic
volume along John F. Kennedy.
Public Services: Public services are adequate to serve the site regardless of how the use.
Environment: The subject property is comprised of two parcels totaling approximately .68
acres. The northern parcel is improved with an existing storage building built in 1965 and
the southern parcel is improved with a commercial building and attached storage building
both built in 1959. The applicant has been in communication with the Planning Services
Department regarding site improvements which would include a driveway extending around
the northern building and wrapping down to the rear side of the southern buildings. Also
proposed is a new privacy fence running along the entire western property line and along a
portion of the southern property line.
The proposed site improvements require a Site Plan Review which must be approved
through the development review process. The Development Review Team is comprised of
multiple City Departments including Engineering, Planning, Water Distribution, Fire, Police,
Housing & Community Development, and Leisure Services. Site plans are reviewed by all
relevant departments regarding access, parking, screening, paving, stormwater
management, water connection, sanitary sewer connection, and fire safety. Effects on the
environment would be mitigated through appropriate site development. The applicant is
currently in the process of preparing to submit the Site Plan Review application.
Adiacent Properties: This property is surrounded by R-1 Single -Family Residential
properties to the west and to the east across John F. Kennedy Road. Properties to the
north are zoned OR — Office residential and the northern parcel abutting the subject
property is occupied by Farm Bureau Financial Services. The property directly to the
south is a single-family residence and the property to the south of that lot is zoned C-1 c
and is home to a landscaping business. Other zoning districts in the vicinity include OS
— Office Service and PR- Planned Residential.
CIP Investments: None proposed.
Staff Analysis:
The applicant proposes to rezone the subject property, which is comprised of two
parcels totally approximately .68 acres, from OR — Office Residential to C-3 General
Commercial to allow for an electrical contractor shop. Currently the north parcel is
Rezoning Staff Report — 2571 John F. Kennedy Rd. Page 3
improved with a storage building and the southern parcel is improved with a wood
framed commercial building and attached storage building. The property is surrounded
by single-family residential uses directly to the west, south, and east across John F.
Kennedy Road. Property to the north is zoned OR — Office Residential. Other zoning
districts in the vicinity include C-1c Neighborhood Commercial with conditions, OS —
Office Service, and PR — Planned Residential.
The applicant's stated use for the subject property is an electrical contractor shop. The
current OR — Office Residential zoning does not permit a contractor shop use. Contactor
shops are a permitted use in the C-3 General Commercial zoning; therefore, the applicant
is seeking to rezone. The current OR zoning district permits 18 different principal uses and
the C-3 General Commercial zoning permits 55 different principal uses, some of which
would not likely locate on the subject property due to site constraints such as limited
access, parking, and building/lot area. Despite this, the quantity and variety of permitted
uses is certainly greatly in the C-3 zoning district than in the OR zoning district.
Consequently, the Commission may wish to limit the permitted uses allowed for the
rezoned property in order to limit the potentially substantial impacts to neighboring
properties and uses. Staff has provided below a list of C-3 permitted uses and conditional
uses for the Commission's review. Staff has reviewed this list and has recommended some
uses be struck based on their potential impacts to the area and neighboring uses.

Rezoning the subject property to allow an electrical contractor shop should have a limited
impact on the noise, activity, and vehicular and pedestrian traffic along John F. Kennedy
Road which is a highly traveled roadway. The applicant has indicated their operational
hours would generally be Monday through Friday, from 7.30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Day-to-day
operations would include employees gathering on the property during the beginning and
end of the workday in order to load and unload supplies/tools; however, the majority of their
work will be conducted at job sites located off -premises, and no fabrication or
manufacturing will occur on site. The applicant has indicated that some work vehicles will
be stored outside on the site, but materials would be stored indoors.
Based on the daily operations of the electrical contractor shop, the exterior operations of
the business would primarily be parking of work vehicles and no exterior material storage or
fabrication would occur. Although this would possibly be true for some other types of
Rezoning Staff Report — 2571 John F. Kennedy Rd. Page 5
contractor shops such as plumbing or painting, other types of contractor shops such as
landscaping or excavating may have more intense exterior storage and operational needs.
With that, the Zoning Advisory Commission may wish to consider whether all contractor
shop or yard uses may be appropriate for the subject site, given the proximity to residential
uses.
The applicant previously began moving dirt on the property in order to construct a driveway
around the northern side of the property to create a rear vehicular access to the back side
of the southern building. This work was stopped by the City, and it was determined a Site
Plan Review would be required to ensure the proposed work meets all required
development standards. The applicant is working to developing a site plan drawing that is
acceptable to submit for Site Plan review. The Site Plans will be reviewed by all relevant
departments regarding access, screening, paving, stormwater management, water
connection, sanitary sewer connection, and fire safety.
Staff recommends the Commission review the criteria established in Chapter 9 of the
Unified Development Code regarding granting a rezoning. In its review, the Commission
may wish to consider a conditional rezoning for the property in order to mitigate potential
impacts to neighboring properties and uses. Staff also offers the following conditions for
consideration:
1. Outdoor storage of any goods, materials, merchandise, or trash/waste (outside of a
code compliant trash collection area) shall be strictly prohibited.
2. All commercial and industrial uses that abut residential properties shall maintain
