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 Mike Kelly, 1398 Elm Street, spoke on behalf of the applicant. He read a statement from Ian Stormont, the property owner which include the being unable to make reasonable use of property, that granting the rezoning will not confer any special privilege, and doing so will not adversely affect other property in the area. He stated that 1395/1397 Washington are only commercial storefronts on the block, which has low foot traffic, and 1397 took a long time to rent and had to be leased at a low rate. He stated that 1395 was listed as commercial, but the property owner could not find a tenant interested in the space. He shared concerns about the proposed railroad overpass on 14t" Street and said the first floor residential unit is set up for a handicapped or elderly tenant, and this type of unit is rare. There was no public input. Staff detailed the staff report noting that the subject property is the only commercial storefront on the block and that it has been zoned C-4 since 1975. Staff stated that the development in this area is mostly dense single-family residences and that corner stores within residential areas is a common development pattern throughout Dubuque. Staff explained that this would be a downzoning from C-4 to C-1 and the change would reduce the intensity of uses but also allow residential use on the first floor. Staff noted that because the uses in the C-1 district are less intense than those in the C-4 zoning district, staff did not expect the neighborhood to be impacted. Staff noted that no public input was received. Service People Integrity Responsibility Innovation Teamwork Page 499 of 1053 The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members Page 2 Recommendation By a vote of 5 to 0, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council approve the request to rezone the subject property from C-4 Downtown Commercial to C-1 Neighborhood Commercial zoning district. A simple majority vote is needed for the City Council to approve the request.

The foot traffic is very low and is not viable for storefronts. The 1397 Washington St. side took well over a year to lease and was only leased with significant incentives and an extremely low rate. This is not meeting expenses for owning the space. The 1395 Washington St side was left in extremely good condition when the tenant moved out in early 2023. Immediately the property was listed for commercial lease, and despite its high quality, and below market rate rents no commercial tenant was interested in this unit. Given the location, low foot traffic, lack of surrounding storefronts/shops, and proposed overpass with possible closing/altering of streets deter any possible tenants from investing in their business/performing a buildout in this space. The strong possibility of the 14'" St. overpass closing the street has made this space almost impossible to rent as a commercial storefront. Being located in an urban revitalization district having quality, affordable housing improves the area and contributes positively to the revitalization. Also, spaces that are acceptable for elderly and wheelchair accessible are extremely limited in the city and this provides an additional space for this population.

Proposed Land Use: Mixed -Use Existing Land Use Adjacent Land Use: Former Zoning Total Area Vacant property North — Residential East — Commercial South — Residential West — Residential Proposed Zoning: C-1 Pre-1975 — Business District 1975 — C-4 Downtown Commercial District 1985 — C-4 Downtown Commercial District 10,204 square feet (.234 acres) Existing Zoning: C-4 Adjacent Zoning: North — R-1 /R-3 East — R-2A South — C-4 West — LI Property History: The subject site has been zoned as Business District or Downtown Commercial since before 1975. The building(s), in their current form, appear on the 1989 Perspective Map of Dubuque (attached). The commercial storefronts have been utilized as commercial space off and on throughout the decades while the upper story apartments and the residences along East 14th St. were regularly occupied by tenants. The southern lot appears to have been vacant since at least 1872 (likely utilized for storage for whichever commercial tenant occupied the storefronts). Physical Characteristics: The subject site is an approximately 10,000 square foot corner lot. The property includes two lots under one parcel ID. The property is in a mixed use, but primarily residential neighborhood and is bordered by residential properties to the north, west, and south, and a commercial property to the east. The property is comprised of two lots. The north lot is developed with two commercial storefronts with multi -family residences above, a ground level duplex along East 14th St. and a one -stall garage. The south lot is vacant. Site image provided on the following page. Page 505 of 1053 Staff Report — 1395 Washington, PIN 1024430010 Page 2 1395 Washington St — Rezoning Request \ \ R3 \ \ � \ u \ \ /HI Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan goals promote infill and mixed -use development. The City's Future Land Use Plan identifies the property as Mixed Use. As proposed, the project would help to meet the following recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan: - Create a vibrant environment where residents can live, work, and play within walking and biking distance of their home and opportunity sites throughout the community. - Promote mixed -use development both downtown, within the John F. Kennedy Road Corridor, and key intersections along the Southwest Arterial. These mixed -use areas should provide a variety of residential choices, access to goods and services, and neighborhood amenities like parks and schools within a walkable environment. - Be responsive to market demands and the needs of residents by providing key retail and employment centers. Ensure that such development does not impact the quality of life in adjacent residential neighborhoods. Impact of Request on - Utilities: The area is adequately served by both city water and sanitary sewer. Mains for both utilities are located in Washington Street and the green alley to the west. Traffic Patterns/Counts: Traffic counts from 2021 for E. 14t" Street, which has a Minor Arterial classification, are noted at 4020 average daily trips and traffic counts for this portion of Washington Street, which has a Local Street classification, are noted at 420 average Page 506 of 1053 Staff Report — 1395 Washington, PIN 1024430010 Page 3 daily trips (2001). The property, zoned as C-4, would currently allow for a large variety of uses intended for the downtown. Due to the less intense uses permitted within the C-1 zoning district, the impact on traffic would maintain the status quo or would even be expected to decrease overall. Public Services: Public services are adequate to serve the site regardless of how it may be utilized or redeveloped. Environment: The subject site does not have any exterior alterations or additions proposed. Any development of the vacant portion of the site or exterior redevelopment of the existing site would require an approved site plan with review from the City's Development Review Team and would be subject to the Unified Development Code. As such, it is not anticipated that there would be any adverse effects on the environment. Adjacent Properties: The subject property is surrounded by primarily residential properties on all sides except to the east. Overall, the C-1 district would mimic other C-1 districts throughout the city in that they are typically on corner lots within primarily residential neighborhoods. The requested C-1 rezoning would not change the nature of the subject property or the area and is considered a downzoning with regard to the permitted uses. CIP Investments: None. Staff Analysis: The applicant is seeking to rezone property from C-4 Downtown Commercial to C-1 Neighborhood Commercial zoning district. The subject site has been zoned as Business District or Downtown Commercial since before 1975. The building(s), in their current form, appear on the 1989 Perspective Map of Dubuque (attached). The commercial storefronts were utilized as commercial space off and on throughout the decades while the upper story apartments and the residences along E 14th were regularly occupied by tenants. The southern lot appears to have been vacant since at least 1872 (likely utilized for storage for whichever commercial tenant occupied the storefronts). The subject site is an approximately 10,000 square foot corner lot. The property includes two lots under one parcel ID. The property is in a mixed use, but primarily residential neighborhood and is bordered by residential properties to the north, west, and south and a commercial property to the east. The property is comprised of two lots. The north lot is developed with two commercial storefronts with multi -family residences above, a ground level duplex along East 14t" St. and a one -stall garage. The applicant proposes to rezone the property to C-1 in order to allow for residential use on the first floor of the 1395 Washington Street building. Residential use on the first floor is not permitted within the current C-4 zoning district. The subject property is surrounded by primarily residential properties on all sides except to the east. This entire 1300 block along both side of the alley of both Jackson and Washington are legally non -conforming residential uses with only the subject property's storefronts as commercial space. The requested C-1 rezoning would not likely change the nature of the subject property or the area and is considered a downzoning with regard to the number and intensity of permitted Page 507 of 1053 Staff Report — 1395 Washington, PIN 1024430010 Page 4 uses. The C-4 zoning district does not require off-street parking. Though, the C-1 zoning district would require off-street parking. As with any legally non -conforming property within the city, the site would potentially be afforded a parking credit. The credit takes into consideration current and past uses with the goal of flexibility and maintaining the status quo for a neighborhood with regard to parking demand. A parking credit would be applied to any future use in order to determine whether a parking variance would be required. Therefore, traffic and parking demand are not expected to adversely impact the neighborhood. Additionally, the property currently allows for a large variety of commercial uses intended for the downtown and since less intense uses are permitted within the C-1 zoning district, the impact on traffic patterns and counts would, at worst, maintain the status quo, or would even be expected to decrease overall. The requested C-1 zoning district is considered a downzoning because the number and intensity of permitted uses are reduced. Attached are the code section showing the uses and bulk standards for both the C-1 and C-4 zoning districts. All uses are permitted in the C-1 (18) are allowed in the C-4 excluding the residential uses where C-4 Only permits residential use above the first floor only. The biggest difference in these districts relates to the intensity of the use, location of residential uses, and off-street parking requirements. Planning staff recommends that the Zoning Advisory Commission review the information provided and make a recommendation on the proposed rezoning to the City Council in accordance with Chapter 16-9-5 of the Unified Development Code and the criteria established for granting a zoning reclassification.
