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 Micah Spivey, 2417 Pinehurst Court, and Fred Kammiller, 17436 Kammiller Lane, spoke on behalf of the application. They stated they are seeking to rezone the property to allow a multi -family apartment on what is currently city property. They noted that it would face the existing parking lot to the north and that the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) approved the design. The Commission requested to see elevations of the proposed apartment complex and staff shared them. Mr. Spivey clarified that apartment building would contain 20 units. Staff detailed the staff report noting there are two 20-unit apartments being proposed with one to the north on a lot zoned as OR and one on the subject parcel. Staff noted that the rezoning would be an expansion of an existing OR zone. Staff said this property is outside the Cathedral historic district, so it does not require historic review, but noted that the north building did go through historic review with the Historic Preservation Commission and they approved the materials, layout, and design. Staff noted the property was zoned OR in 1975 and pointed out that this is a heavily wooded lot. Staff stated that the project is currently going through site plan review with the Development Review Team. Staff described the uses of the proposed OR zoning district, stating that the comprehensive plan encourages mixed use, and that this area is shown as mixed use on the Future Land Use Map. There were no public comments. Service People Integrity Responsibility Innovation Teamwork Page 654 of 720 The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members Page 2 The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request and had a question about what "OR" stands for, noting that one section of the staff report notes "C-4". Staff clarified that the OR Office Residential zoning district is intended for adaptive reuse and transitional zones, and that the table is accurate except that the header noting C-4 was a Scrivner's error. 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.

Proposed Land Use: Office Residential Existing Land Use Adjacent Land Use: Vacant North — Residential East — Residential South — Vacant West — Vacant Former Zoning: Prior to 1975 — Business District 1975 — OR Office Residential 1985 — C-3 General Commercial Total Area: 0.34 acres / 14,988 square feet Proposed Zoning: OR Existing Zoning: R-2 Adjacent Zoning: North — OR East — OR South — OS West — R-2/PR Property History: The subject property is located in an area of the city that has previously been zoned for commercial and office/residential uses. This section of Bluff Street was previously modified during the widening of Dodge Street/Hwy 20. The property is vacant. Physical Characteristics: The subject property is an approximate .34 acre (14,988 square feet) lot with frontage along Bluff Street. The property is gradually sloping uphill from east to west, with a steep sloping hillside along the western edge of the lot. The surrounding development consists of residential uses and undeveloped land. The property is located just south of the Cathedral Historic District. Site image provided on the following page. Page 658 of 720 Rezoning Staff Report: Bluff Street, PIN 1025401021 Page 2 Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan goals promote infill and mixed -use development. The City's Future Land Use Plan identifies property as Mixed -Use. The proposed project would also help to meet the following recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan: - 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 adequately served by city utilities. Mains for water and sanitary sewer are located along Bluff Street. Traffic Patterns/Counts: The Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) categorizes Bluff Street as a Local Street. The most recent traffic counts are from 1992 and show an average annual daily count of 10,400 vehicles. Although development of the subject property may result in additional vehicle counts, due to the size of the property and the uses that would be accommodated at the site, the proposed rezoning is not anticipated to substantially alter traffic counts to the subject site or area. Additionally, any future development will be reviewed by the City's Traffic Engineer to evaluate potential traffic impacts. Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the subject property Page 659 of 720 Rezoning Staff Report: Bluff Street, PIN 1025401021 Page 3 regardless of how it may be utilized or redeveloped. Environment: The subject property consists of one lot that is currently owned by the City of Dubuque. The applicant is seeking to purchase the property and desires to construct a multi -family residential project. The property is generally flat with some steep hillside along the western edge. The property is vacant. The subject site contains a number of mature trees and shrubs. If rezoned, any changes to the site must be reviewed through the development review process known as the 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. Development plans are reviewed by all relevant departments regarding access, parking, grading, screening, paving, park land, stormwater management, water connection, sanitary sewer connection, fire safety, and more. Staff does not anticipate any adverse effects on the environment as any potential impact would be mitigated through the review processes above. Adjacent Properties: The subject property is surrounded by a mix of residential and commercial uses. Residential uses include single-family, two-family, and multi -family residences. Commercial uses include retail and office uses to the north along Bluff Street and throughout the downtown area to the east and northeast. 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 R-2 Two - Family Residential to OR Office Residential zoning district. The applicant is requesting a rezoning to allow for the construction of a multi -family residential building. The subject property is an approximate .34 acres (14,988 square feet) lot with frontage along Bluff Street. The property is gradually sloping uphill from east to west, with a steep sloping hillside along the western edge of the lot. The surrounding development consists of residential uses and undeveloped land. The property is located just south of the Cathedral Historic District.

The R-2 zoning district allows for eleven (11) Principal Permitted Uses and the proposed OR zoning district allows for twenty (20) 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 both zoning districts. A copy of the full summary of each zoning district is attached to this report. Principal Permitted Uses R-2 Zoning District OR Zoning District Cemetery, mausoleum, or columbarium.

Page 661 of 720 Rezoning Staff Report: Bluff Street, PIN 1025401021 Page 5 Approval of the proposed rezoning is not anticipated to substantially alter the fabric of the area. The subject property is fairly small in size and consequently, development standards may require variance or waiver approvals to be able to accommodate most of the allowed uses in the OR zoning district. The Comprehensive Plan encourages mixed -use development and commercial development responsive to the market demands and needs of residents. 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 to the City Council in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Unified Development Code and the criteria established for granting a zoning reclassification.
