ACTION ITEMS
New Urban Renewal Area: John F. Kennedy Road Urban Renewal Area
Planning Services Manager Wernimont introduced Ian Hatch, Assistant Economic
Development Director, to detail the requested urban renewal area. He noted the
location at the corner of the Northwest Arterial and John F Kennedy Road intersection.
He noted the commercial land use proposed there. He expressed that this area is an
appropriate addition to the City of Dubuque's urban renewal program. He noted that part
of the tax increment generated by the district will help to reimburse the developer's cost
of the construction of a traffic signal at the intersection of John F Kennedy Road and
West 32nd Street. He expressed that the project aligns with the City's Comprehensive
Plan and future land use map.
Commission members discussed with Mr. Wernimont and Mr. Hatch aspects of the
project such as the right in -right out access closer toward the Northwest Arterial, access
for the soccer complex/Court One, the fact that this urban renewal area includes the
intersection of the Northwest Arterial and John F Kennedy Road, the vacant lot to the
northeast, and plans for this site to house a medical office building and a multi -tenant
commercial building.

north end of Plaza Drive. He explained the proposed 390-unit apartment complex and its
layout and amenities. He explained some possibilities for future development to the north
and connecting Plaza Drive to Derby Grange Road. He noted the developer will own and
operate this market rate apartment complex, so they are able to take advantage of the
tax abatement of an urban revitalization area.

flow from the development. Wernimont referred to a site layout plan of the development
noting the location of the buildings, parking lots and street configuration. He noted the

is located in a walkable neighborhood with access to medical services, groceries, jobs,
shopping, entertainment, etc.
