Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
The City of Dubuque Zoning Advisory Commission has reviewed the above -cited request
at their meeting on March 6, 2024. The application, staff report, and related materials are
attached for your review.
Discussion
The applicant, Joshua Jansen, 11368 Rock Grove Court, spoke in favor of the request
noting that the rezoning would allow for reduced setbacks and additional building height
for a new development. He said the project would have ground level parking and
commercial spaces, with a total of 81 residential units located on 4 stories above. He
shared that nearby existing surface parking lots would also be a part of the project. He
said that aesthetically, the project would pay homage to Dubuque's downtown and have
a brick fagade and a courtyard.
Mike Sivill, 307 Jones Street, noted that he believes a larger project like this would
increase the foot traffic from this neighborhood to downtown. He stated he did not oppose
the project but would like to see the pedestrian crossings to downtown be improved as
there is currently not a safe route.
Travis Nelson, 305 Jones Street, noted that he was initially curious about parking and
that the applicant addressed his concerns when he noted the additional lot for parking.
He stated he did not have any further concerns.
Mr. Jansen added that he was looking into whether one-way traffic would be an option
along Locust Street, which could possibly allow for angled parking along the street near
the project. Commissioner Russell questioned approximately how many parking spaces
would be proposed. Mr. Jansen stated approximately 120.

Staff detailed the staff report noting the while the applicant has a specific project in mind,
the rezoning would allow for all permitted uses within the C-4 zoning district. Staff shared
a chart providing a side -by -side list of the permitted uses allowed in the existing C-3
zoning district and in the proposed C-4 zoning district and which also highlighted the uses
that are permitted in both zoning districts. Staff noted that the applicant has gone through
a conceptual review with the City's Development Review Team. Staff stated that while
development of the site is anticipated to result in an increase of traffic to the neighborhood
it would be primarily neighborhood traffic as the site is quite isolated. Staff concluded by
stating that the area is a mix of uses and zoning districts and that the proposed rezoning
would be in keeping with other zoning districts in the neighborhood.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, finding it 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,
ea (L &/Z

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 Map identifies the subject property as Mixed Use.
Rezoning Staff Report: 35 Locust Street Page 3
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: Existing utilities are adequate to serve the subject property.
Traffic Patterns/Counts: The Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) categorizes this
portion of Locust Street and Bissell Lane as Local Streets and provides traffic count data
from 1998. According to the 1998 counts, this section of Locust Street and Bissell Lane
each have an average daily traffic count of 2,530 trips. This area of Locust Street and
Bissell Lane are only accessible from Bluff Street and as such these streets are generally
not impacted by through traffic. Rather, traffic in the neighborhood is primarily generated
by the existing residential and commercial uses. The proposed rezoning in general is not
anticipated to increase traffic to the subject site; however, any future redevelopment of the
subject property may warrant a traffic analysis or study to determine the potential traffic
impacts.
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 two lots, one of which is vacant and one of
which is improved with The Bridge Restaurant, a surface parking lot, and a residential unit.
The applicant is requesting the rezoning with the intention of redeveloping the subject site
to include a multi -story residential building with parking and commercial space on the
ground floor. Any redevelopment of the property would be subject to review by the city's
Development Review Team (DRT) to ensure the work is compliant with city codes and to
ensure any potential effects on the environment would be mitigated through appropriate
site development. Therefore, the proposed rezoning is not anticipated to have an any
adverse impacts on the environment.
Adjacent Properties: The subject property is surrounded by a mix of residential and
commercial uses. Residential uses including single-family homes and multi -family units.
The commercial uses include a psychic center and Southend Tap bar. The property is
separated from additional commercial development to the east by the IDOT Locust Street
right-of-way. The proposed rezoning would change the zoning designation for the subject
property only and any future redevelopment of the subject property would be subject to
site plan review by the City's DRT. Therefore, it is not anticipated that the proposed
rezoning would negatively affect adjacent properties.
CIP Investments: None.
Staff Analysis: The applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from C-3 General
Commercial to C-4 Downtown Commercial. The subject property is comprised of two lots.
The lot at 35 locust Street (PIN 1025426021) is currently improved with The Bridge
Restaurant, a surface parking lot, and one residential townhome. The smaller lot (PIN
1025426009) is located southwest of the larger lot and is currently vacant, but historically
contained a single-family residence.

impacts on the environment.
The C-3 zoning district allows for fifty-eight (58) Principal Permitted Uses and the proposed
C-4 zoning district allows for fifty-six (56) Principal Permitted Uses. The chart below
provides a side -by -side summary of the Principal Permitted Uses in both zoning districts.
The uses highlighted in yellow are permitted in each zoning district. A copy of the full

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 fifty-six (56) uses within the C-4 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 and open
space.
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 Map 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.
