Description: To rezone property from C-1 Neighborhood Commercial and R-2A Alternate

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
Chris Staver, 1027 Barbaralee Drive, spoke on behalf of the application, noting that he
desires to construct a surface parking lot for his restaurant. He stated that currently there
is only on -street parking.
Katie Determan, 2685 Kaufmann Avenue, expressed concerns regarding the project.
She stated that her daughter lives at 2977 White Street and that she has experienced
challenges with safely accessing her daughter's driveway due to the volume of traffic in
the neighborhood. She stated that street parking is dangerous due to the narrowness of
White Street and the speed of traffic on the street. She expressed concerns regarding the
Jackson Street closure and the impact that has had on traffic volume on White Street.
She questioned how the parking lot would be monitored to ensure it's only used by
customers of the restaurant. She questioned whether the parking lot would be illuminated
and how long the lights would be on.
Rick Dickinson, 205 Hill Street, President of the Greater Dubuque Development
Corporation, spoke in favor of the rezoning request. He expressed gratitude for the
Commissioners willingness to hold a special meeting and stated that the parking
challenges are a critical issue for Mr. Staver and his business, the Copper Kettle
restaurant. He discussed the state of Dubuque Malting & Brewing Company building and
the hazard it has presented for people traveling on Jackson Street, which has had a direct
and detrimental impact on the Copper Kettle's business. He stated that the rezoning
would allow Mr. Staver to construct an off-street parking lot which will help his business.
He stated it is a pressing matter and will help reduce the negative impact on the Copper
Kettle and will reduce the impact of on -street parking for the neighborhood.

Emily Determan, 2977 White Street, stated that the impact of on -street parking from the
Copper Kettle has directly affected her ability to access her property and driveway in the
past. She stated that friends coming to her house often have trouble finding a parking
space on the street due to the restaurant parking. She questioned whether the parking
lot would increase traffic on White Street, which is a narrow street on which traffic is too
fast currently. She stated that she would just like to be able to access her property without
these challenges.
Mike Muench, 2943 Elm Street, stated that he previously lived at 2805 Jackson Street
and acknowledged that street traffic is very busy and fast along Jackson Street and White
Street. He stated that he felt the proposed parking lot would be a step toward helping
resolve the parking congestion in the neighborhood. He stated as the owner of Convivium
Urban Farmstead, he understands the desire to have off-street parking. He expressed
support for the property rezoning and said he felt the project would be done well.
Mr. Staver stated that he would do whatever the City would require for lighting but would
desire to have a low -voltage lighting that would not impact the neighborhood. He stated
his hope is to improve the parking condition in the neighborhood and alleviate some of
those impacts to the neighborhood.
Staff detailed the staff report noting the location of the three properties and that they are
under common ownership and that two residential structures are in the process of being
demolished. Staff discussed the history of the restaurant use is a legally nonconforming
use and that the proposed rezoning would establish the restaurant use a legal use in the
C-2 zoning district and would allow a surface parking lot as an accessory use to the
restaurant. Staff stated that the applicant is not seeking to expand the capacity of the
restaurant and so the rezoning is not anticipated to increase the number of patrons and
vehicles coming to the subject site, but rather would help to better manage the parking
for the restaurant. Staff discussed the city's site plan review process which would review
the project for compliance with all city codes, and that the Development Review Team
has already reviewed the project conceptually. Staff outlined two letters from neighboring
property owners had been submitted for the Commissions consideration.
The Commission acknowledged that parking is a major issue in the neighborhood which
has been exacerbated by the current condition of the Malting & Brewing Company
building which has resulted in street closures. The Commission stated that many of the
concerns expressed by the public seemed to be items that would be addressed through
the site plan review process and sought to understand how community members
concerns would be expressed to the Development Review Team. The Commission also
discussed the traffic speed concerns and stated that the Police Department would be the
best department to address those issues and that the concern would also be shared with
the City Council during their review.
Staff stated that the feedback received at the meeting will be shared with the Development
Review Team and that concerns regarding site lighting, traffic, and parking are common
concerns that the team takes into consideration with all site plan reviews. Staff stated

members of the public are always welcome to reach out to the Planning Services Office
to share their concerns and staff will be able to share the concerns with the review team.
Recommendation
By a vote of 5 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,

Total Area: .23 acres / 10,196 sq. ft.
Property History: The subject property is comprised of three lots. The two westerly lots
have historically been zoned for residential use and were improved with single-family
residences which are currently in the process of being demolished in order to construct a
surface parking lot. The eastern most lot has historically been zoned for industrial and
commercial use and is currently home to the legally non -conforming' Copper Kettle
restaurant. All three lots are under common ownership.
Physical Characteristics: The subject property consists of three lots totaling
approximately .23 acres (10,196 sq. ft). The westernmost lot is located at the corner of
White Street and E. 30t" Street, the center lot has frontage along E. 30t" Street, and the
eastern lot is located at the corner of E. 30th Street and Jackson Street. The subject
property is primarily flat with a 2' elevation change over all three lots. Surrounding
development consists of residential properties to the south, west, and north, Duck Duck
Drive vehicle sales to the east, and the Dubuque Malting & Brewing Company (former H&W
building) to the northeast.
1 Legally Nonconforming Use: A use lawful when established but which does not conform to subsequently established
zoning or zoning regulation.

Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan encourages mixed -
use development to create diverse and self-sufficient neighborhoods. It also recommends
that incompatible uses be buffered and protected from each other. The City's Future Land
Use Plan identifies the subject property area as Mixed Use.
Rezoning Staff Report: 110 E. 30th St., 114 E. 30th St., and 2987 Jackson St. Page 3
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: Existing utilities are adequate to serve the subject property.
Traffic Patterns/Counts: The Iowa Department of Transportation provides traffic count
information from 1975 and 2013 for the three streets surrounding the subject site. Those
counts indicate an average daily traffic count of 4,330 along this section of Jackson Street
(2013), 232 along White Street (1975), and 250 along East 30th Street (1975). Vehicular
trips have likely increased on these roadways since the counts were generated in 1975 and
2013; however, the proposed project is not anticipated to increase traffic to the subject site
beyond the traffic that is already generated by the mixed -use neighborhood. Furthermore,
the proposed rezoning will allow for a surface parking lot to be established on two of the
lots which is anticipated to reduce some of the on -street parking related to the Copper
Kettle restaurant.
Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the subject property
regardless of how it may be utilized or redeveloped.
Environment: The subject property consists of three lots. Two lots are improved with
residential structures that are currently being demolished in order to construct a surface
parking lot for the Copper Kettle restaurant. In order to construct the surface parking lot, the
property is required to be rezoned. Any proposed development of the subject property,
including a surface parking lot, would require review by the city's Development Review
Team (DIRT). 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 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 and therefore the proposed rezoning is not anticipated to have an any
adverse impacts on the environment.
Adjacent Properties: The subject property is surrounded by residential development along
White Street, E. 30th Street, and Jackson Street. Other development in the area includes
Duck Duck Drive vehicle sales and the Dubuque Malting & Brewing Company (former H&W
building). The proposed rezoning would change the zoning designation for the subject
property which is comprised of three lots. The Copper Kettle restaurant would continue to
operate within the existing building at 2987 Jackson Street and the two lots at 110 and 114
E. 30th Street are proposed to be redeveloped as a parking lot for the patrons of the
restaurant. It is anticipated that the parking lot may help reduce the volume of patron
parking along adjacent streets.
CIP Investments: None proposed.
Staff Analysis: The applicant proposed to rezone the subject proposed which is comprised
of three lots located at 110 E. 30th Street, 114 E. 30th Street, and 2987 Jackson Street. The
Rezoning Staff Report: 110 E. 30th St., 114 E. 30th St., and 2987 Jackson St. Page 4
lots at 110 and 114 E. 30th Street are currently zoned R-2A Alternate Two -Family
Residential and improved with single-family residences which are currently in the process
of being demolished. The property at 2987 Jackson Street is currently home to the Copper
Kettle Restaurant which would continue to operate in the existing structure. As requested,
all three lots would be rezoned to C-2 Neighborhood Shopping Center.
The subject property consists of three lots totaling approximately .23 acres (10,196 sq. ft),
which are under common ownership. The westernmost lot is located at the corner of E.
30th Street and White Street, the center lot has frontage along E. 30th Street, and the
easternmost lot has frontage on E. 30th and Jackson Streets. The subject property is
primarily flat with a 2' elevation change over all three lots. Surrounding development
consists of residential properties to the south, west, and north, Duck Duck Drive vehicle
sales to the east, and the Dubuque Malting & Brewing Company (former H&W building) to
the northeast.
The 2987 Jackson Street property was established as a restaurant in the mid-1950s and is
currently home to the Copper Kettle restaurant. The restaurant use was established prior to
the currently C-1 zoning district and as such an Indoor Restaurant is considered a legally
non -conforming use. In the proposed C-2 zoning district an Indoor Restaurant is a
permitted use and so rezoning the proposed would allow an Indoor Restaurant as a
permitted use on the property, bringing the property into compliance/eliminate the non-
conformity regarding the use. Additionally, the applicant desires to construct a surface
parking lot on the 110 and 114 E. 30th Street lots. As planned, the surface parking lot is
intended to be utilized by patrons of the Copper Kettle. A surface parking lot is not a
permitted use in the R-2A zoning district; however, it would be a permitted as an accessory
use to an Indoor Restaurant within the C-2 zoning district. Therefore, the applicant is
seeking to rezone all three lots to C-2 Neighborhood Shopping Center to eliminate the non-
conformity of the use as an indoor restaurant and to add a parking lot which would reduce
on -street parking throughout the neighborhood.
The R-2A zoning district allows for ten (10) Principal Permitted Uses and the C-1 zoning
district allows for seventeen (17) Principal Permitted Uses. The proposed C-2 zoning
district would allow for a total of twenty-four (24) Principal Permitted Uses. The chart below
provides a side -by -side summary of the Principal Permitted Uses in all three zoning
districts. A copy of the full summary of each zoning district is attached to this report.
See chart on the following page.

Approval of the proposed rezoning is generally not anticipated to substantially alter the
fabric of the neighborhood. However, the Commission may wish to specifically consider
whether all twenty-four (24) uses within the C-2 district would be appropriate in the
neighborhood. It is also worth noting that the site is generally small and would likely require
variance or waiver approvals to be able to accommodate most of the allowed uses due to
development standards associated with site development, such as setbacks, open space,
and parking.
The Iowa Department of Transportation provides traffic count information from 1975 and
2013 for the three streets surrounding the subject site. Those counts indicate an average
daily traffic count of 4,330 along this section of Jackson Street (2013), 232 along White
Street (1975), and 250 along East 30t" Street (1975). Vehicular trips have likely increased
on these roadways since the counts were generated in 1975 and 2013; however, the
proposed project is not anticipated to increase traffic to the subject site beyond the traffic
that is already generated by the mixed -use neighborhood. Furthermore, the proposed
rezoning will allow for a surface parking lot to be established on two of the subject lots
which is anticipated to reduce some of the on -street parking related to the Copper Kettle
restaurant.
Rezoning Staff Report: 110 E. 30t" St., 114 E. 30th St., and 2987 Jackson St. Page 6
The subject property is adequately served by existing utilities and public services and
would be, regardless of the type of development on the site. Any proposed development of
the subject property or portions thereof, including a surface parking lot, would require
review and approval by 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 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 and therefore the
proposed rezoning is not anticipated to have an any adverse impacts on the environment.
The Comprehensive Plan encourages mixed -use development to create diverse and self-
sufficient neighborhoods. It also recommends that incompatible uses be buffered and
protected from each other. The City's Future Land Use Plan identifies the subject property
area as Mixed Use.
Planning staff recommends that the Zoning Advisory Commission review the information
provided and make a recommendation on the requested rezoning to the City Council in
accordance with Chapter 9 of the Unified Development Code and the criteria established
for granting a zoning reclassification.

I am not opposed to the needs of Chris Staver and the Kopper kettle.. If this improves the parking for his customers and
his business GREAT !!! There is only one concern with said business and that is they should be mandated to have trash
cans like downtown.. I have seen way to much trash being brought into or left behind by their customers so by having
trash cans similar to downtown would be a positive and help keep Our neighborhood clean and appealing.. Just like Our
Cities Downtown district..
Thank You for the notice and Best of luck to a new and improved Kopper Kettle

Our neighborhood is strapped for parking. On -street parking is the only option I have available. Copper Kettle employees force cars into the area in front of my
house, which only has frontage for 2.5 cars. If the rezoning is required to build a parking lot on residential property, then I'm on board. But you can't fill the site
with building and have a sustainable situation.
