The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
City of Dubuque
City Hall — 50 W. 13th Street
Dubuque IA 52001
Applicant: Kennedy Mall, Ltd
Location: 555 John F. Kennedy Road
Description: Amendment of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) to modify parking,
building, and sign regulations.
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
Justin Somerville, Development Engineer, and Bill McKandrick, Senior VP, Cafaro
Company, 5577 Youngstown -Warren Rd, Niles, OH, spoke in favor of the request. He
noted that the PUD was last amended in 2003. He said there have been many business
changes since then and the PUD is too restrictive. He said that in order to help Kennedy
Mall remain viable, they are seeking changes to three aspects of the PUD:
• Reducing parking requirements to one space per 300 square feet of ground floor
leasable area.
• Removing the maximum allowed ground floor leasable area and instead tying it to
the parking requirement.
• Allowing larger and additional signage at the mall.
Staff reiterated the requested changes and stated that they were determined in
consultation with City staff. Staff described recent zoning reform trends around the
country have moved to reduce parking requirements. Staff noted that the sign proposal
mirrors the Asbury Plaza sign regulations, which is another property that Cafaro owns
and manages. Staff explained the addition of a sign regulation that would allow interior
stores at the mall to have exterior signage.
Commissioners noted that they are in support of the changes being proposed because it
would level the playing field with other commercial properties, that the Home Goods sign
is quite small, and that times have changed from when malls were in direct competition
with the downtown.

TO: Zoning Advisory Commission
FROM: Jason Duba, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: Amend the Kennedy Mall Planned Unit Development to modify sign, parking,
and building regulations.
INTRODUCTION
The applicant is requesting to amend the existing Kennedy Mall Planned Unit
Development (PUD) located at 555 John F Kennedy Road to allow for additional signage,
reduced parking requirements, and increased ground floor leasable area.
BACKGROUND
The subject Planned Unit Development is located on Dubuque's West End. The Kennedy
Mall property is 52.6 acres and has approximately 50 tenants, large and small. It has
frontage on five streets: John F Kennedy Road, Wacker Drive, Dodge Street/US 20,
Century Drive, and Stoneman Road. It is surrounded by commercial development.
The Kennedy Mall zoning district was established in 1966, and the mall was opened in
1968. The PUD has been amended several times over the decades, most recently in
2003. That amendment modified the following:
• Allowed for a new primary identification sign of 708 square feet and 50' in height.
• Reduced the parking requirements from one space per 200 square feet of ground
floor leasable area (GFLA) to one space per 250 square feet of GFLA.
• Increased the allowed ground floor leasable area by 82,000 square feet from
586,561 square feet to 668,561 square feet.
The applicant's current request is similar to the previous one in that it seeks to allow for
additional signage, reduce parking requirements, and increase ground floor leasable
area.
The PUD boundary is identified in the image on the following page.

Kennedy Mall PUD with distance from mall to each street frontage
DISCUSSION
The applicant is requesting to amend the current Kennedy Mall PUD (Ordinance 80-03)
to allow for additional signage, reduced parking requirements, and increased ground floor
leasable area.
Signage
The current PUD applies C-3 General Commercial zoning district sign regulations. These
regulations allow a business in a multi -tenant property, such as the Kennedy Mall, to
Memo to Zoning Advisory Commission
Page 3
install one 100-square foot wall sign per street frontage. While this size allowance is
typically fine for businesses in smaller commercial strip developments and has been
adequate for some tenants of Kennedy Mall, it has proven too small for other tenants of
the mall. Several mall tenants have obtained variances to install wall signs larger than
100 square feet. Other mall tenants have sought variances to install larger signs and been
denied.
Cafaro, the parent company of Kennedy Mall, Ltd., also owns Asbury Plaza, and they
request to apply the same sign regulations at Kennedy Mall as are used at Asbury Plaza.
These regulations base the allowed area for wall signage on the area of the front building
wall, so larger walls equate to a greater area for signage. An unlimited number of signs
are permitted, if the aggregate square footage is within the allowed area.
This provides a more proportionate approach to signage, rather than allowing one
standard size sign regardless of the size of the business' fagade. These regulations allow
different sign areas based on the ground floor leasable area (GFLA) of the business:
• Tenants occupying greater than 30,000 square feet of GFLA shall be allowed an
unlimited number of wall -mounted signs. The total aggregate square footage of
wall -mounted signs will be based on 20% of the front building wall area of the
leased space.
• Tenants occupying less than 30,000 square feet of GFLA shall be allowed an
unlimited number of wall -mounted signs. The total aggregate square footage of
wall -mounted signs will be based on 10% of the front building wall area of the
leased space.
The City has not received complaints about signs in Asbury Plaza, neither from
residents saying they're too large nor from tenants saying they're not big enough. This
indicates that applying these regulations at Kennedy Mall should be in keeping with the
public safety, visual aesthetics, and business marketing promoted by the sign code.
The amended regulations would permit interior businesses of the mall to have exterior
signage, which is currently not allowed. This signage would be allocated by the developer.
The applicant seeks to allow interior businesses to have an aggregate square footage of
signage up to 3% of their GFLA and has provided a few examples of what this 3%
calculation would allow for aggregate sign area:
• Lens Crafters: 2,767 square feet GFLA = 83 square feet of signage
• Bath & Body Works: 3,134 square feet GFLA = 94 square feet of signage
• American Eagle: 5,600 square feet GFLA = 168 square feet of signage
• Victoria's Secret: 7,234 square feet GFLA = 217 square feet of signage
One of the challenges these amended sign regulations seek to address is the significant
distance from the surrounding street frontages to the mall building. As shown in the above
property map, the distance from the mall building to the surrounding street frontages
ranges from 195' to 465'. At these distances, the applicant has expressed, on behalf of
its tenants, that the 100 square foot wall sign allowance is inadequate for visibility and
Memo to Zoning Advisory Commission
Page 4
marketing. They feel that the revised sign regulations should provide their businesses the
necessary sign area by applying standards successfully in use at Asbury Plaza.
Parking
The current Kennedy Mall PUD requires one parking space per 250 square feet of ground
floor leasable area (GFLA), and the applicant seeks to reduce the requirement to one
space per 300 square feet of GFLA. There is precedent for reducing the parking
requirement, as the 2003 PUD amendment reduced the ratio from one space per 200
square feet of GFLA to one per 250 square feet.
Here is another way to understand these ratios:
• Pre-2003: 5 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of GFLA
• 2003 — current: 4 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of GFLA
• Proposed: 3.33 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of GFLA
The proposed change equates to a 17% reduction in the parking requirement. The
applicant has indicated that there is an oversupply of parking at Kennedy Mall, and they
would like to reallocate some of the underutilized parking spaces to additional
development. They feel that existing businesses and potential future businesses could be
accommodated with the lower parking requirement.
The Kennedy Mall is a self-contained property in that people who drive to the property
also park on site. None of the surrounding streets have on -street parking. The mall is
surrounded by commercial land uses and is not adjacent to any residential
neighborhoods. Therefore, concerns about spillover parking are minimal.
Recent trends in zoning reform have recognized that minimum parking requirements have
led to the construction of an oversupply of parking, an inefficient use of land that raises
costs and contributes to sprawling, auto -oriented development. This has led
municipalities around the country to reduce or eliminate minimum parking requirements
and even establish maximum parking allowances. Rather than applying pseudo -scientific
parking ratios from a national institute, some cities are letting the market determine
parking demand to set parking requirements. Parking patterns at malls have changed as
more shopping is conducted online and malls have shifted to include less retail space and
more recreation, entertainment, and service uses.
This is the case at Kennedy Mall, and the applicant has stated that a reduced parking
requirement would better suit their needs. The current PUD requires a minimum of 2,675
parking spaces, but the amended PUD removes that minimum total and simply applies
the ratio of one parking space per 300 square feet of GFLA.
Ground Floor Leasable Area
The current Kennedy Mall PUD sets a limit of 668,570 square feet of ground floor leasable
area (GFLA), which is based on the parking requirement of one space per 250 square
feet of GFLA. The applicant seeks to remove that limit. Instead, Kennedy Mall would be
able to construct additional developments so long as it complies with the parking ratio of
Memo to Zoning Advisory Commission
Page 5
one space per 300 square feet of GFLA. Our records indicate the property currently has
593,750 square feet of GFLA, including the mall and outlots.
With the removal of this limit on GFLA and the reduction of the parking requirement, the
applicant seeks the opportunity to intensify the use of the Kennedy Mall property through
additional development, including new outlot development. This is supported by the
Imagine Dubuque Comprehensive Plan, which has the recommendation, "Collaborate
with Kennedy Mall ownership and surrounding major centers to support regional retail."
Development
All developments within the PUD require building permits through Inspection and
Construction Services. Additionally, developments that modify the site or any new
construction would 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 the Kennedy Mall Planned Unit Development to allow for additional signage,
reduced parking requirements, and increased ground floor leasable area.
