The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
City of Dubuque
City Hall — 50 W. 13th Street
Dubuque IA 52001
Applicant: Yaroslav (Slavik) Nakonechnyy
Location: Radford Road, PIN 1029251016
Description: To rezone property from Planned Unit Development with PI -Planned
Industrial designation to Planned Unit Development with PR -Planned
Residential designation.
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, Buesing & Associates, 1212 Locust Street, spoke on behalf of the applicant.
He explained that they are requesting to rezone to a Planned Unit Development with PR -
Planned Residential (PUD-PR) in order to construct four 18-plex apartment buildings. He
noted there are apartments to the north and that the development would be phased to
help with sanitary sewer issues. He noted that stormwater detention would be provided
on site.
Staff detailed the staff report noting that PUDs require a conceptual development plan,
and the proposed plan is for four (4) 18-unit multi -family residential buildings totaling
seventy-two (72) units. Staff noted that the plan exceeds the requirement of 1.5 parking
spaces per dwelling unit for multi -family residences and that the Iowa DOT considers this
portion of Radford Road a local street and that it is adequate for any additional traffic that
would be generated. Staff described the past zoning of the property noting that it has
been zoned PUD-PI since 1980, and this new PUD would be similar to the apartment
complex to the north. He clarified that sidewalks would be required, and the project would
add workforce housing to the area.
Staff also noted that the subject site would be affected by the currently sanitary sewer
capacity challenges that the city is working to actively resolve. Staff stated that the
applicant has been made aware of this during the conceptual plan review with the
Development Review Team and that the applicant will need to continue working with the
City Engineering Department regarding the matter.
There was no public input.

South — PI
West — AG/PI
7.68 acres / 334,494 square feet
Property History: The subject property was annexed in 1979 and has been zoned for
industrial uses since 1980. The most recent modification of the current Planned Industrial
district was in 2022 to accommodate development on the neighboring property. It has not
been developed to date.
Physical Characteristics: The property is comprised of one parcel of approximately 7.5
acres. The property has frontage along Radford Road. The site slopes down
approximately 40' from the northwest corner to the southwest corner, for a slope of
approximately -6%. The topography of the site does limit the location of development on
the site. The property is currently unimproved.

Zoning of subject property and surrounding area.
Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan goals promote infill
and multi -family development. The proposed project would also help to meet the following
recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan:
- Integrate future neighborhoods into Dubuque via access to trails, open space, and
other recreational and educational amenities and connections to needed goods
and services.
- Encourage a mix of housing affordable for all segments of Dubuque's populations
throughout the community, including options for those who might be saving for
their first home.
- Encourage new multi -family development in proximity to jobs to minimize
transportation costs.
Impact of Request on-
Utilities- The area is served by both city water and sanitary sewer. The water main is
Page 766 of 950
PUD Staff Report — Radford Road Rd (PIN 1029251016) Page 3
in the Radford Road right-of-way. The sanitary sewer is located both north and south of
the site; however, the city has determined that there is a lack of downstream sewer
capacity at this time. The City is actively working to address the capacity issues;
however, allowing sanitary sewer flows from the proposed project would not be possible
for some time. Consequently, if the property were to be developed prior to the resolution
of the capacity concerns, the applicant would need to explore alternative solutions to
handle sanitary sewer. The applicant has been made aware of this matter during a
conceptual review with the Development Review Team on April 3, 2025 and is aware
they should continue to work with the City Engineering Department regarding this
matter.
Traffic Patterns/Counts: The Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) classifies this
portion of Radford Road as `Local'. The traffic counts here are from 2017, and they
indicate an average annual daily traffic count of 3,920 vehicles.
Due to the scale of the project, a traffic analysis will be required to be submitted and
reviewed by the City Engineering Department. City Engineering staff utilize State Urban
Design and Standards (SUDAS) to mitigate impact on traffic traveling along City streets.
The review will be done as part of the Development Review Team and Site Plan Review
Process.
Per the attached conceptual development plan, the development would provide 132
total parking stalls, which exceeds the 1.5 spaces per unit (108 total spaces) required
for multi -family properties.
Public Services: Public services are adequate to serve the site regardless of how it
may be utilized or developed.
Environment: The subject site is an approximately 7.5-acre irregularly shaped lot with
frontage along Radford Road. The site is currently unimproved. Due to the topography
of the site, development is restricted to a portion of the subject lot. Per the Unified
Development Code, the proposed development would be required to provide new trees
and shrubs as part of their landscaping plan for the site. Furthermore, the project would
be required to undergo a Site Plan review through the development review process prior
to any improvements on the property, which would address appropriate site
development standards. That process ensures that adequate storm water management
measures are implemented during all phases of development. It is not anticipated that
the requested rezoning, or the proposed development, would have a negative impact
on the environment.
Adjacent Properties: The subject property is bordered to the north by multi -family
residential uses, to the south and east by Industrial uses, and the west by agricultural
uses. This property is on the northernmost portion of the industrial district and would
add to the workforce housing in the area and provide additional patrons to west end
commercial uses. The project should benefit the area generally.
Page 767 of 950
PUD Staff Report — Radford Road Rd (PIN 1029251016) Page 4
CIP Investments: None proposed.
Staff Analysis: The applicant proposes to rezone the subject site to Planned Unit
Development with a PR -Planned Residential designation in order to construct four (4)
multi -family residential buildings totaling 72 units. The development includes an access
road, surface parking stalls, a stormwater detention basin, and open space. Planned Unit
Developments are intended to encourage flexible and innovative design in the
development of appropriate sites and at the same time, reduce to a minimum, the impact
of the development on the surrounding neighborhood.
The subject property was annexed in 1979 and has been zoned for industrial uses since
1980. The most recent modification of the current Planned Industrial district was in 2022
to accommodate development on the neighboring property. The subject property is
vacant.
The property is comprised of one parcel of approximately 7.5 acres. The property has
frontage along Radford Road. The site slopes down approximately 40' from the northwest
corner to the southwest corner, for a slope of approximately -6%. The topography of the
site does limit the location of development on the site.
The proposed Conceptual Development Plan includes four (4) three-story, multi -family
residential buildings each containing 18 units, totaling 72 units in all. The development
includes 132 surface stalls, including 8 ADA stalls. This exceeds the UDC requirement
for multi -family properties of 1.5 stalls per unit, which equates to 108 stalls in this case.
The City's Future Land Use Map identifies the subject site as Parks and Open Space. It
should be noted that nearly all vacant properties at the time of adoption of the Future
Land Use Map were identified as such. The Comprehensive Plan goals promote infill and
multi -family development generally, and the proposed project would address the
following:
• Encourage a mix of housing affordable for all segments of Dubuque's
populations throughout the community, including options for those who might
be saving for their first home.
• Encourage new multi -family development in proximity to jobs to minimize
transportation costs.
• The City Council has also identified the construction of new housing as a goal.
The subject property is bordered to the north by multi -family residential uses, to the south
and east by Industrial uses, and the west by agricultural uses. This property is on the
northernmost portion of the industrial district and would add to the amount of workforce
housing in the area and provide additional patrons to commercial establishments. The
project should benefit the area generally.

work with the City Engineering Department regarding this matter. Review will be done as
part of the Development Review Team and Site Plan Review Process.
Prior to any development taking place on the property, the applicant would be required to
obtain an approved Site Plan through the development review process. Site plans are
reviewed by all relevant City departments regarding development standards such as
access, parking, screening, paving, stormwater management, water connections,
sanitary sewer capacity and connection, and fire safety. Potential effects on the
environment would be reviewed and mitigated through appropriate site design and
development. The applicant would also be required to obtain the necessary permits
through the Inspection & Construction Services Department prior to any work
commencing on the property.
If approved, the development would be bound by the proposed Conceptual Plan.
Staff recommend the Zoning Advisory Commission review the criteria established in
Chapter 9 of the Unified Development Code regarding granting a rezoning and make a
recommendation to City Council.
