Description: To Amend Zone B of the South Pointe Planned Unit Development to allow
increased lot coverage and reduced front and rear yard setbacks for
townhome development.
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
Tom Larsen, 1212 Locust Street, representing the applicant, spoke in favor of the request.
He explained that the requested setback and lot coverage regulations are already allowed
for two-family dwellings and two -unit townhomes, and they would like to extend those
regulations to include townhome developments of three- to six -units within Zone B of the
PUD area. Mr. Larsen, during applicant rebuttal, expressed that the change would not
reduce the amount of greenspace because two -unit townhomes and duplexes are already
allowed the 50% lot coverage and reduced front and rear yard setbacks, so they are
seeking the same standards for townhomes ranging from three- to six -units.
Staff detailed the staff report noting that the applicant is looking to amend Zone B of the
PUD only, and that this change would only apply to townhomes and not all multi -family
development. He explained that the bulk standards for two -unit townhomes are less strict
and allow for a 10' front and rear setback and 50% lot coverage. He noted that most
development in Zone B has been two -unit townhomes and therefore the 10' setbacks and
50% lot coverage have been applied to those developments. He said the change would
not allow for an increased number of dwelling units and therefore would not increase
traffic. He also noted that it would allow multiunit -townhouse structures greater coverage
than they currently are allowed, but that the standards are similar to the existing
development within Zone B and is therefore not expected to have a substantial impact on
the neighborhood.
Commissioner Russell asked if townhome dwellings of three- to six -units have a greater
setback. Mr. Larsen noted that they follow R-3 standards, which are more restrictive, and

the request is to make all townhome dwellings have the same regulations as the two -unit
townhome and duplex development is allowed to have currently.
Public input included three property owners within the South Pointe PUD. One public input
was neither for or against the project. The remaining two noted concerns regarding a
reduction of greenspace in their rear yards and being closer to neighbors.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request noting that there are currently
two -unit townhomes constructed with the shorter 10' front and rear setbacks and the 50%
lot coverage, so it seemed appropriate for multiunit-town homes to have the same
standards. Ultimately, the Commission found the request appropriate.
Recommendation
By a vote of 4 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,

TO: Zoning Advisory Commission
FROM: Travis Schrobilgen, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: To amend Zone B of the South Pointe Planned Unit Development to allow
increased lot coverage and reduced front and rear yard setbacks for
townhome development.
INTRODUCTION
The applicant, Aaron Healy, is requesting to amend the existing South Pointe Planned
Unit Development (PUD) to amend Zone B of the South Pointe Planned Unit
Development to allow increased lot coverage and reduced front and rear yard setbacks
for townhome development. The proposed amendment would increase maximum lot
coverage and allow 10-foot front and rear yard setbacks.
BACKGROUND
The South Pointe Planned Unit Development is located south and west of Tower Drive
and west of Rockdale Road. The PUD is accessed from Rockdale Road via South
Pointe Drive. The PUD was originally established in 2016, Ordinance 14-16, with a PR
Planned Residential designation and established three land use zones (A, B, C)
throughout the PUD area. A few amendments to the PUD were later approved in 2017
(Ordinance 43-17) and two in 2018 (Ordinance 14-18 and Ordinance 39-18). The
applicant is now requesting to amend the current ordinance (Ordinance 39-18) to modify
the bulk standards related specifically to townhomes within Zone B of the PUD.
PUD area and Zone B identified in the image on the following page.

DISCUSSION
The applicant is seeking to construct multi -unit townhomes within Zone B of the South
Pointe PUD. Currently, duplexes and two -unit townhomes are permitted to cover 50% of
a lot and require 10' front and rear yard setbacks while townhomes of more than two
units permit a maximum coverage of 40% of the lot and 20' front and rear yard
setbacks. The applicant is looking to amend the PUD so that all townhomes, up to six
units, would be allowed the less restrictive 50% lot coverage and 10' front and rear
setbacks.
The current Zone B language states:
1) Development of property within Zone B of the South Pointe Planned
Unit Development shall be regulated by Section 16-5-5 of the Unified
Development Code, R-3 Moderate Density Multi -Family Residential,
except that lots with two -unit townhomes and duplexes are allowed 50
percent maximum coverage, 10-foot front yard and rear yard setbacks.
Open decks are allowed a 2-foot rear yard setback but may not
encroach on access and utility easements."
Memo to Zoning Advisory Commission
Page 2
The proposed PUD amendment would strike "two -unit" (bold text above) from the text of
Zone B and would read as below — in part:
"...R-3 Moderate Density Multi -Family Residential, except that lots with
townhomes and duplexes are allowed..."
All other regulations such as residence type, building height, lot sizes, parking
requirements, signage, and other requirements would remain unchanged. The proposed
amendment would not increase density regarding the number of units permitted within
the PUD but would permit increased density regarding structural coverage as it would
permit a larger footprint. The proposed amendment is not expected to have a
substantial impact on development or on the neighborhood within the area because it
would not increase the density of units or increase traffic and would be subject to the
same development regulations as existing development within Zone B of the PUD.
All developments within the PUD require building permits through Inspection and
Construction Services. Additionally, developments with three (3) or more units require a
full site plan with review and approval through the City's Development Review Team
(DRT). The DRT 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 street
improvements, site access, parking, grading, screening, paving, park land, stormwater
management, water connection, sanitary sewer connection, fire safety, and more.
RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommends that the Zoning Advisory Commission review the enclosed
materials and make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the proposal to
amend Zone B of the South Pointe Planned Unit Development to allow increased lot
coverage and reduced front and rear yard setbacks for townhome development.

Historic Federal Building, 350 W 6" St, Dubuque, IA 52001
Dear Zoning Advisory Commission:
I represent Leanne K. Latham the owner of 2453 Rolling Creek Ln, Dubuque, IA 52003.
Said residence which is legally described as "Lot 1 of Lot 19 of South Pointe, in the City of
Dubuque, Dubuque County, Iowa according to the recorded plat thereof'
The owners property is located in Zone B of South Pointe, and as such would be adversely impacted
by what the property owner understands the proposed zoning change would do.
The property owner respectfully objects to the proposed zoning change. The property owner paid
a very substantial sum for her property and this proposed zoning change would greatly impact the property
owners available green space and would change and reduce the green space, her enjoyment and use. When
the property was acquired the plat reflected the available green space and the zoning changes, if allowed,
would amount to an unreasonable taking of green space with no adjustment or consideration for the property
owner or owners.
Thus the property owner objects to the proposed zoning change.
Very truly yours,
Do as C. Pearce, Attorney at Law

PUD Amendment Language
The current Zone B language states:
"1) Development of property within Zone B of the South Pointe
Planned Unit Development shall be regulated by Section 16-5-5 of the
Unified Development Code, R-3 Moderate Density Multi -Family
Residential, except that lots with two -unit townhomes and duplexes
are allowed 50 percent maximum coverage, 10-foot front yard and rear
yard setbacks. Open decks are allowed a 2-foot rear yard setback but
may not encroach on access and utility easements."
The proposed PUD amendment would strike "two -unit" (bold text above)
from the text of Zone B and would read as below — in part:
"...R-3 Moderate Density Multi -Family Residential, except that lots
with townhomes and duplexes are allowed... "
