Applicant: Joe Meyers, ImOn Communications
Location: 10490 Lake Eleanor Drive
Description: To amend the Dubuque Technology Park Planned Unit Development to
accommodate a fiber optic hub
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, Joe Meyers, 683 6t" Avenue, Conroy, IA, spoke on favor of the request on
behalf of ImOn Communications. He noted that they are looking to place a new hub on
the south side of the city and that the small property within the Dubuque Technology Park
is a good location for them. He noted it would be a precast 12' by 20' structure similar to
the one constructed at the City Fire Station at 32nd Street and Central Avenue.
Staff detailed the staff report noting that ImOn Communications has been working with
the city and the Greater Dubuque Development Corporation to find a location for a
fiberoptic hub on the south side of the city. Staff noted the subject site is a small, triangular
piece of property that currently contains overhead power lines and some other utilities.
Staff stated the subject site is located within the Dubuque Technology Park Planned Unit
Development (PUD) and is currently identified as public open space within the PUD. The
PUD would require an amendment to include a new land use zone that would allow the
subject site to be utilized for the proposed project. City staff has reviewed the proposed
hub location for compliance with City codes. In addition to the proposed new land use
zone, the amended PUD would include an ordinance and updates to the Unified
Development Code (UDC) references as the existing PUD references a prior version of
the UDC.
There was no public input.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request finding it appropriate.

TO: Zoning Advisory Commission
FROM: Travis Schrobilgen, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: To amend the Dubuque Technology Park Planned Unit Development to
accommodate a fiberoptic hub.
INTRODUCTION
The applicant is requesting to amend the existing Planned Unit Development (PUD) to
accommodate a fiberoptic hub.
BACKGROUND
The existing Dubuque Technology Park PUD district is located just north of the
Southwest Arterial and Highway 61/151 intersection and is bound on the north by Lake
Eleanor Road and to the west by highway 61/151. The district was created in 1997 with
Ordinance 27-97 and was intended to allow the development of a mixed -use business
park. The district was amended in 2008 with Ordinance 13-08, when the permitted uses
were adjusted to meet those of a technology park and the name of the PUD became the
Dubuque Technology Park. The maps below provide an overview of both the existing
and proposed land use map with the only change being the introduction of Zone C at
the intersection of Digital Drive and Lake Eleanor Road.

DISCUSSION
The current PUD is made up of Zone A, Zone B and designated public areas. The
applicant is requesting to amend the existing Planned Unit Development (PUD) to
accommodate a fiberoptic hub in a location that is currently designated as Public Area.
The amendment would create a Zone C and list `Public and Quasi -Public Utilities,
including substations and fiber optic hubs, as a permitted use within the zone.
In addition to the introduction of Zone C and listing the permitted use of the zone, other
changes to the ordinance include adding a 15' front yard setback for Zone C updates to
each ordinance section to match the current code (i.e. signs and parking), and, the
addition of an ordinance history summary.
Prior to the construction of the fiberoptic hub, the applicant is required to obtain an
approved Site Plan through the development review process. This is a multi -step
process during which the proposed project would be subject to review by the City's
Development Review Team (DRT) which is comprised of multiple City Departments
including Engineering, Planning, Water Distribution, Fire, Police, Housing & Community
Development, and Leisure Services.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff recommends the Zoning Advisory Commission review the proposed
request and the criteria for amendments to the Planned Unit Development Districts
found in Section 5-24 of the Unified Development Code and make a recommendation to
Memo to Zoning Advisory Commission
Page 3
the City Council regarding the proposed amendment to the Dubuque Technology Park
Planned Unit Development.
