The application, staff report and related materials are attached for your review. Discussion Pat Norton, Buesing & Associates, 1212 Locust Street, spoke on behalf of the applicants, Sherry and Rick Ehrlich. He recapped the rezoning request review history from the past month. He stated the applicants are seeking to rezone the property to ORc Office Residential with conditions. He noted the lot size is .53 acres, which limits potential development on the site. He described the surrounding zoning districts and stated that ORc would serve as a transition from more intense uses to the north. He listed the allowed uses in the R-1 district and stated that under the proposed ORc district all uses would be removed except general office and single-family dwelling within an existing structure. He stated the owners would like to construct an office building, and that the property could be used for office or single-family residential in the future. Mr. Norton stated that under the current R-1 zoning district, the lot could be split into two lots, each with a single-family residence and an accessory dwelling unit, which is permitted by recent state legislation. He stated this would allow four residential units on the property. He stated this would be a secondary development option, but the applicant's preference is a real estate office. He stated that traffic generated by a realtor's office would be approximately fourteen trips per day, compared to twenty-eight trips from two single-family homes. He stated the applicants spoke with neighbors regarding their plans and reported that neighbors were generally supportive of the general office site plan. The Commission asked about the difference between the three site plan layouts in the packet. Mr. Norton stated that two proposals show possible development under the current R-1 zoning district, which would allow subdivision into two lots with a single-family dwelling and accessory dwelling unit on each lot. He stated the third site plan shows the Service People Integrity Responsibility Innovation Teamwork Page 793 of 1171 The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members Page 2 applicant's desired layout under the ORc zoning district, with a 2,000-2,500 square foot realtor's office designed with a residential appearance on the south elevation and parking and signage on the north. Ron and Joan Heitzman, 3152 West 32nd Street, spoke regarding the proposed rezoning. She stated that Mr. Ehrlich has reached out to members of the neighborhood and she had a chance to speak with him regarding their development goals for the property. She stated that she had hoped to see a single-family residence on the lot with family activities. She said she's alarmed by the new state law on accessory dwelling units and the possibilities it creates for future development. She said of the three options presented by the applicant, she prefers the office site development because it can't be subdivided or have accessory dwellings, and there would be just one driveway. She wondered if the building could be set back to align with neighboring house. She expressed that this request still leans to spot zoning with the Northwest Arterial as a natural divider, so she expressed concern that approval of the conditional rezoning could be the beginning of erosion into the R-1 zoning district. Despite this, she stated that the office site plan remained the most palatable option. She appreciated that there are verbal agreements from the applicants limiting signage and lighting, and for the planting of greenery between the adjacent house. She said she wants to be good neighbors and have a good relationship with the new neighbors. She stated they were in support of the conditional rezoning as presented. Willie Kraus, 3155 West 32nd Street, said he is the next -door neighbor, and said that he is going along with the rezoning because it's better to have one building than two on the property. Vernon Klein, 3063 West 32nd Street, agreed with the comments provided by Mrs. Heitzman. Staff detailed the staff report explaining the history of the request and the remanded direction from the City Council. Staff explained that the applicant has provided additional information for the Commissions consideration including site exhibits and written correspondence, and that the applicant has made an effort to connect with neighbors regarding the rezoning. Staff described the project site characteristics noting the lot size of approximately 23,000 acres. Staff noted the property could be split into two lots based on bulk regulations, which would be a staff level review. Staff noted that access would need to be reviewed/approved by Engineering. Staff explained the proposed ORc district would permit only two principal uses on the property including general office and a single- family dwelling within an existing structure only. Staff explained that this rezoning request did include a revised public notification and that two letters of public input which both appear to support the option with the office to be preferable. Staff displayed the setbacks on the site shown in the proposals and that the neighboring house is set back further than required. The Commission asked if residents of accessory dwelling units have to be related. Staff stated that the state code preempts the city code, and it has no owner occupancy or family requirement, and it increases the size allowance for accessory dwelling units. Service People Integrity Responsibility Innovation Teamwork Page 794 of 1171 The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members Page 3 The Commission asked about when the new law went into effect and if it essentially permits duplexes in single-family districts. Staff replied that it became effective on July 1, 2025 and that the state law does effectively up -zone the R-1 zoning district by allowing more than one residential unit in a single-family residential zoning district. The Commission asked if a lawsuit had challenged the law yet, and Staff stated they are not aware of any at this time. The Commission asked how ADUs were regulated in Dubuque before, and Staff replied that they were allowed with a Conditional Use Permit and had stricter requirements. Staff also noted that accessory dwelling units are still required to meet the building code requirements. The Commission asked about the concept plan requirements for PUDs. Staff replied that PUDs are unique as a concept plan must be provided/approved and that a traditional rezoning, including a conditional rezoning, do not require a concept plan. Staff noted that a single-family residence and duplex or two -unit townhome would not require does not require site plan review, unlike commercial or multi -family residential development containing three or more units. Staff also noted a site plan review would be required for the proposed office building. The Commission discussed the application with one Commissioner expressing mixed feelings about the request. The Commission acknowledged the dialogue and the support from neighbors for the office site layout noting the site plan provides a picture of the development and the onsite parking. The Commission noted the high traffic speeds on 32nd Street and there was general support for the conditional rezoning. Recommendation By a vote of 5-0-1, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council approve the request to rezone property from R-1 Single -Family Residential to ORc Office Residential with conditions. A simple majority vote is needed for the City Council to approve the request.

INTRODUCTION This memo provides an update on the rezoning request for the property located at West 32nd Street (PIN 1016227007) and outlines the further action requested by the City Council. DISCUSSION The applicant, Sherry Ehrlich initially submitted a request to rezone the property at West 32nd Street (PIN 1016227007) from R-1 Single -Family Residential to OR Office Residential. That request came before the Zoning Advisory Commission (ZAC) on August 6, 2025. At the meeting, the ZAC reviewed the request, heard public input, deliberated the request, and made recommendation to the City Council to deny the request. The request went before the City Council on August 18, 2025. Prior to that meeting, the applicant submitted a written letter requesting that the rezoning request be remanded back to the Zoning Advisory Commission for consideration of a conditional rezoning for the property. The applicant indicated that this would allow them to prepare additional information for the Commission's consideration in their review of the request. A copy of the applicant's letter is attached. At its meeting on August 18, 2025, the Council received a staff report, heard public input, and discussed sending the request back to the Zoning Advisory Commission to consider a conditional rezoning. The Council also asked staff whether the Commission's review would include an advertising and signage plan for the property. Staff responded that the Commission could take advertising and signage into account. Following this discussion, the Council voted to remand the request to the Zoning Advisory Commission for consideration of a conditional rezoning. Public Input: The applicant has submitted supplemental information for the Commission's consideration. The attached information includes: • Letter from the Seller — Earlyn & Karen Loeffelholz • Map of residential lots available in the area Page 799 of 1171 Staff Memo: West 32nd Street (PIN 1016227007) — Conditional Rezoning Request • Conceptual site plan for office use • Conceptual site plan for two single-family residential lots each containing a residence with home office and an accessory dwelling unit • Conceptual site plan for two single-family residential lots, one containing a residence with home office and an accessory dwelling unit and the other containing a single-family residence with attached accessory dwelling unit • Letter from realtor Jim Dix • Letter from realtor Sherry Ehrlich • Copy of a letter from the applicant to the neighboring property owners • Applicant's letter to City Council requesting the project be remanded to the Commission Prior to the Commission's previous meeting on August 6, 2025 letters of opposition were submitted.

The City's Future Land Use Map identifies the subject property as Public Open Space. The proposed project may help to meet the Comprehensive Plan K Page 800 of 1171 Staff Memo: West 32nd Street (PIN 1016227007) — Conditional Rezoning Request land use recommendation to create a vibrant environment where residents can live, work, and play within walking and biking distance of their home at opportunity sites throughout the community. STAFF ANALYSIS: The revised request is to rezone the property at West 32nd Street (PIN 1016227007) from R-1 Single -Family Residential to ORc Office Residential with conditions. The subject property is located in an area of the City that has historically been zoned for single-family residential use. The property is an approximately .53-acre (23,086 square feet) lot located along 32nd Street, just south of the Northwest Arterial. The property has remained undeveloped although it has historically been used for agricultural uses and a garden for adjacent residential uses. The property is primarily flat, and the surrounding development consists primarily of single-family residential uses, with some commercial and multi -family uses to the north and northwest across the Northwest Arterial. The subject property is surrounded by residential uses to the west, south, and east. The property is directly bordered by a city bike/hike trail along the western and northern sides. To the north is the Northwest Arterial and across that are properties utilized for residential and commercial uses. The proposed rezoning would create a new ORc district in the neighborhood and would change the zoning designation for the subject property only. The previous request to OR Office Residential would have allowed for a number of uses including higher density residential and low intensity commercial uses. The applicant is now proposing to rezone the property to ORc Office Residential with conditions. The proposed ORc zoning would allow for just two uses: a general office use and a single- family residential use within an existing structure only. The existing R-1 zoning district allows nine (9) Principal Permitted Uses and the previously proposed OR zoning district could have allowed for twenty (20) Principal Permitted Uses. The revised ORc zoning district would allow for only two (2) Principal Permitted Uses. The chart below provides a side -by -side summary of the Principal Permitted Uses in the existing R-1 and proposed ORc zoning districts. The two (2) uses highlighted in yellow would be the only principally permitted uses in the ORc zoning district.

Tr. •,�-vwrmease. Any proposed grading/alteration to the property, or development of a general office' would require an approved site plan which is reviewed through the development review process known as the Development Review Team (DIRT). The DIRT 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 expect any adverse effects on the environment as any potential impacts should be mitigated through the review processes above. Impact of Request on: Utilities: Existing utilities located along 32nd Street are adequate to serve the subject property. Traffic Patterns/Counts: The Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) categorizes 32nd Street as a Minor Arterial. The most recent traffic counts are from 2013 and show an average annual daily count of 4,190 vehicles. The site is currently undeveloped and although rezoning of the subject property may result in additional vehicle counts, due to the size of the property and the limited uses that could be accommodated at the site, the proposed rezoning is not anticipated to substantially alter traffic counts to the subject site or area. Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the subject property regardless of how it may be utilized or developed. Environment: The subject property consists of one lot which is currently vacant. Development 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 ' Pursuant to UDC Chapter 12-3, site plan review is required for construction or expansion of any building, structure, or freestanding sign except single-family detached dwellings, duplexes, and townhomes of not more than two units and permitted accessory structures to a single-family dwelling or duplex. LI Page 802 of 1171 Staff Memo: West 32nd Street (PIN 1016227007) — Conditional Rezoning Request 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 residential uses to the west, south, and east. The property is directly bordered by a city bike/hike trail along the western and northern sides. To the north is the Northwest Arterial and across that are properties utilized for residential and commercial uses. The proposed rezoning would create a new ORc district in the neighborhood and would change the zoning designation for the subject property only. The ORc district would allow for two principally permitted uses including general office and a single-family residence within an existing structure only. Additionally, any future redevelopment of the subject property would be subject to site plan review by the City's DIRT. Therefore, it is not anticipated that the proposed rezoning would negatively impact adjacent properties. CIP Investments: None. RECOMMENDATION 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. Attachments 41 Page 803 of 1171 Zoning Advisory Commission September 3, 2025 City of Dubuque Planning Services 13' & Central Dubuque, IA 52001 RE: PID 1016227007 Rezoning Request from R-1 to ORC Dear Chairman Mulligan and Commission Members, As you are well aware, the buyers of the above -mentioned lot requested to have it rezoned from R-1 Single Family Residential to Orc Office Residential with Conditions. During the August meeting, there were several neighbors that objected to the request and the commission followed. We believe that we did not fully provide the facts surrounding our position. We have prepared the following list explaining our thoughts and reasons for why we believe that a revision to the zoning, in this case, is not only warranted, but better for the surrounding community. • History of the Lot. This lot originally was quite a bit larger, between 2 and 3 acres. The Northwest Arterial required a portion of the lot to be taken for right of way for the NW Arterial and the relocation of West 32"d St. This left a remainder of 23,086 sf (0.53 acres), based on the property description on the Dubuque County Beacon web site. • Lot Size. With the decrease in lot size, the original price of the lot is spread out over less area, thus making the cost for a lot of this size out of the range of being feasible for a single-family residence. o Additionally, the lot size will limit the size of the office building and number of vehicles in and out of the site. With a general office building in OS, there is a requirement for off-street parking, based on either the size of the building (1 stall per 400 sf of office) or the number of employees (1 per employee). This greatly limits the uses and size of building that the lot can support. • Surrounding Zoning. The area is R-1, Single Family Residential to the east and south. There is a parcel owned by the City of Dubuque directly to the west that is zoned OS, Office Service. This would allow the city to lease the property to someone for a snack shop, bicycle rental office, or some other use that would benefit from the adjacency to the multi -use trail. The land to the northwest, along W32nd St is zoned C-3, General Commercial. The land to the north is zoned R-3, Moderate Density Multiple Family Residential. The surrounding zoning districts are varied. Page 804 of 1171 o To rezone, there would be two options. ■ OS - Office Service. This option would be an extension of the existing OS district adjacent to the property to the west. OS would allow for a general office but would not allow for residential on the first level of the building. ■ OR - Office Residential. This option would be essentially the same as OS, except it would allow for single family residential as well. ■ Ultimately, OR was chosen as it would keep the residential use open in the future. o Conditions to Rezoning. In either OR or OS, we would gladly accept placing conditions on the property eliminating the uses outside of general office and residential uses. • Transitional Zoning Areas. Good zoning practices generally prefer buffers or transitions from low to high density uses. OS would serve as a transition zoning between the more dense R-3 and C-3 to the north and R-1 to the east and south. Given the mixed zoning of the surrounding properties, we believe this would be considered a transition area respective to the zoning. A revision to Orc would provide more of a gradual transition and buffer for existing homes. • R-1 Single Family Residential Allowed Uses. As the lot is currently zoned R-1, the City's Unified Development Code allows for uses outside of single family residential. These uses include: o Cemetery, mausoleum, or columbarium o Place of religious exercise or assembly o Public or private park (golf course) or natural recreation area o Public, private or parochial school o Railroad or public or quasi -public utility including substation o Single Family detached dwelling o Community Gardens • OR Office Residential Allowed Uses. The City's UDC currently allows for the following uses in and OR district. We have lined out the uses we would agree to have eliminated as a condition of the rezoning request. o General office Page 805 of 1171 o Single or two-family dwelling unit within the existing structure only e--TDvothottae • Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). On July 1, 2025, a new law (Senate File 592) went into effect that made it illegal for counties and cities to prohibit ADUs. This now opens the R-1 lots for a main house and an ADU. Cities and counties cannot restrict the buildings from being rental units. This includes both long-term rentals (any income level, including families qualifying for housing vouchers) and short-term rentals (Air BnB). Further, the occupants of an ADU do not have to have a familial, marital, employment, etc. relationship with the owners/residents of the primary home. • Reason to Rezone - UDC. In the City's UDC, There are specific reasons why a particular area can be rezoned. They include: o Original zoning was a mistake o Circumstances and conditions surrounding the property has changed. In this case, we believe that the conditions surrounding the property have changed. The NW Arterial was built, then a multi -use recreational trail constructed immediately adjacent to 2 sides of the lot. The proximity of the trail to the yard makes the building and yard more public than a typical residential lot. Privacy for this lot will be very difficult to achieve, and will require many years of plantings to mature. • Traffic. According to the Institute for Traffic Engineers (ITE) TripGen Web -base app, 111" Ed., The traffic generated from a 2,000 sf general office building would be approximately 14 trips per day. 2 single family homes would generate double that volume of traffic. • Neighborhood Communication Attempts o Prior to the August Zoning Advisory Commission meeting, a letter was sent to the properties within the required public notice boundary. The letter offered Page 806 of 1171 for neighbors with questions to reach out to the applicants. No calls, emails, or communication of any kind was received by the applicant. o The City Council directed the applicant and neighbors to discuss the uses of the property and rezoning request. Following the City Council meeting on August 18th, neighbors, applicants and City Staff rode in the elevator together. At that time, the neighbors were adamant that there was going to be no communication from them and the lot would remain R-1. o It was felt that an open meeting at the site would not be well attended. Instead, the applicant walked through the neighborhood on Wednesday August 27th from 3 to 7pm, knocking on doors to discuss the options individually with the majority of the neighbors. The outcome was generally well received. Overall, the neighbors have a more informed explanation of what the applicant would like vs assumptions. ■ Lack of willingness of the neighbors to communicate has led to several incorrect assumptions and untruths being developed and circulated through the neighborhood. ■ It should be noted that there are people that have signed their petition that are either renters, or who live outside the notification area. Please take this into consideration when reviewing the signatures of the petition. o Should the lot remain zoned R-1, the owners could subdivide the lot with a simple plat of survey. They could then construct a home with a home -based business and an ADU on both lots. These would then be most likely rented as either short or long term. o Proposed Building. The intent for this lot is to construct a building that appears residential on the south side, facing W 32nd St, and to keep the more office oriented features (parking, signage, etc.) on the side facing the NW Arterial. We whole-heartedly believe that the rezoning of the subject property from R-1 to OR Conditional, is the best use and least impactful for the neighborhood both now and well into the future. Thank you for your time and consideration of our request. Sherry Ehrlich Page 807 of 1171 From: karen loeffelholz <pepperdog42@gmail.com> Date: Wed, Aug 27, 2025 at 10:44 AM Subject: Property on W32nd Street To: JimDixRealtor(a gmail.com <JimDixRealtor0Ogmail.com> Hello, I am Karen , Buck's wife. We are the property owners for the subject of this hearing. Since the property was purchased in 1991, the landscape has changed tremendously. What was once a spacious acre nestled in a residential neighborhood has now become a 1\2 acre corner where there is a public walk/bike trail on two sides of the property. The lot is situated lower than the trail, so as being exposed to the public. Those who walk on the trail can look on to the property as they walk along. If a resistance were to be built, there would be no privacy. Hikers/bikers can look into windows, take note of your possessions and possibly notice your daily routines. It would not be suitable for families with young children. Situated on that curve in this high traffic area, children would be at risk of being hit by a car. The speed limit is 25mph at the curve but seldom is observed. I feel that putting an office on the property will not affect the neighborhood. It could be a quiet place considering there would not be many people in and out. As we all know, most businesses do their business online and not in person. After business hours there would be no one there. I cannot see the negative impact on the neighborhood. Sincerely, Earlyn (Buck) and Karen Loeffelholz Page 808 of 1171 Dear Members of the Zoning Board, I am writing on behalf of my client, the owner of the property located at West 32" d St Dubuque, Iowa 52001, to respectfully request you reconsider the recommendation to the City Council to deny the rezoning for our parcel from Residential R1 to Commercial Residential zoning. As a licensed real estate agent representing this property, I understand and respect the board's responsibility to protect the integrity of our neighborhoods while supporting responsible growth. After careful review, I believe there are several compelling reasons why rezoning this property to commercial use would be in the best interest of both the community and the city: 1. Location & Compatibility — The property lies in close proximity to existing commercial activity, making it a natural extension of the surrounding business corridor. Transitioning this parcel would create a more cohesive land use pattern rather than leaving an isolated residential lot. 2. Community Benefit — Rezoning would allow for services and businesses that benefit nearby residents with a professional office. This enhances convenience for the neighborhood and encourages local economic activity. 3. Property Value & Tax Base — Converting this parcel to commercial use would increase its taxable value, thereby generating additional revenue for the city without adding strain on residential infrastructure. 4. Traffic & Infrastructure — Based on preliminary review, the site is capable of handling commercial traffic without undue burden on existing roads. Any development would have to comply with city requirements for parking, safety, and accessibility, as verified by the site plan approval process through the City's Development Review Team. Additionally, when I posted the listing for this lot on Facebook Marketplace, I included the following: Discover the perfect spot for your dream home or investment! This .91-acre residential lot is nestled in a desirable peaceful neighborhood on W 32nd St in Dubuque, Iowa. Conveniently located near schools, parks, and local amenities, this expansive property offers a balance of tranquility and accessibility. This lot provides an incredible opportunity to build the home you've always envisioned. Don't miss the chance to own a piece of Dubuque's charm. Of the comments on that listing, the following were included: #1. I don't think peaceful is living next to a 4 lane. #2. Or an on ramp where all the semi's are making a run to increase speed. #3. Ummm right next to 4 lane 50mph arterial? As you can see, the location of the property can be viewed as either positive or negative. Please take into account that these, and the opinions of the neighbors are subjective, depending on your perspective. While the initial application was not approved, we respectfully ask the board to reconsider the potential economic, practical, and community benefits. Our goal is to promote thoughtful development that serves both residents and businesses in Dubuque. Page 809 of 1171 We are open to any conditions or stipulations the board may feel are necessary to ensure compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. Thank you for your time, consideration, and dedication to balancing growth with community needs. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss this further and work collaboratively toward a solution.

Even though I had hoped to see one single family home with the R1 designation, I can see the Pandora's Box opened as the July 1st legislation addressing Accessory Dwellings was signed into law. 1 do not envy the Commission Members or Planning Staff with having to work with that unrestrained directive. Option A rezoned as ORc would allow for a single structure realtor office for 4 realtors (up from the two realtor original). No accessory buildings or subdivision would be possible with this plan. The lot would not be cluttered with buildings as with plans B and C. Only one drive would be necessary and parking would be at the rear of the lot. The permissive uses for Plan A would be limited to two uses only — office or single family residence thus limiting undesired uses. Yes this process still leans to Spot Zoning and is still the beginnings of business erosion into R1 territory; but it is the most palatable of the three proposal plans. Page 817 of 1171 Other items that we have been assured by the petitioners would be addressed are the limitation of signage/lighting, and the planting of greenery to provide optimal shielding and appearance of the property. We want this to be the beginning of a Win -Win relationship with new neighbors. We are willing to support the rezoning of PIN 1016227007 from R-1 Single _ Family Residential to ORc Office Residential with stated conditions as promised by the petitioners.

Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: 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 as Public Open Space. Impact of Request on: Utilities: Existing utilities located along 32nd Street are adequate to serve the subject property. Traffic Patterns/Counts: The Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) categorizes 32nd Street as a Minor Arterial. The most recent traffic counts are from 2013 and show an average annual daily count of 4,190 vehicles. The site is currently undeveloped and although rezoning of the subject property may result in additional vehicle counts, due to the size of the property and the limited uses that could be accommodated at the site, the proposed rezoning is not anticipated to substantially alter traffic counts to the subject site or area. 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 one lot which is currently vacant. Any redevelopment of the property would be subject to review by the city's Development Page 820 of 1171 Rezoning Staff Report: West 32nd Street — PIN 1016227007 Page 3 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 residential uses to the west, south, and east. The property is directly bordered by a city bike/hike trail along the western and northern sides. To the north is the Northwest Arterial and across that are properties utilized for residential and commercial uses. The proposed rezoning would create a new OR district in the neighborhood and would change the zoning designation for the subject property only. The OR district would allow for additional uses beyond the current R-1 district such as higher density residential uses and low intensity commercial uses. The subject property is small generally and as such may not be conducive to some of those uses. Additionally, 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 impact adjacent properties. CIP Investments: None. Staff Analysis: The applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from R-1 Single - Family Residential to OR Office Residential zoning district.

Therefore, the proposed rezoning is not anticipated to have an any adverse impacts on the environment. The existing R-1 zoning district allows for nine (9) 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 five (5) 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-1 Zoning District OR Zoning District Cemetery, mausoleum, or columbarium.

School of private instruction. Single- or two-family dwelling within an existing structure only. Townhouse. Approval of the proposed rezoning is not anticipated to substantially alter the fabric of the area. The subject property is fairly small is size and consequently scale of development on the subject site would be limited. 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 Public Open Space. 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.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: etezoning of a single parcel or a small area to a different zoning classification than the surrounding properties is the definition of "Spot Zoning". This application seems to be exactly that. No significant need nor public benefit is evidenced; and it serves as a starting point of zoning erosion into a long established R-1 neighborhood. We love our neighborhood. We chose our home based on this and other qualities. Ewe also believe that the Northwest Arterial serves as a logical line of demarcation: R-1 on SouthEast side and Other zones more commercial or business oriented and R-3/4 to the Northwest Side. deferring to the information found in Dubuque's Zoning Website Section 16-5-7 OR Office Residential the listings of Principal Permitted Uses, Conditional Uses and Accessory Uses seem "non -fit" for this location. �k Name(s) of Respondents:-- U, �-- � Resident Address: 31,,5 3a Md Qs+ Page 830 of 1171 August 4, 2025 To: Zoning Advisory Commission Re: Public Hearing —Zoning Change Proposal Proposal: To rezone property from R-1 Single Family Residential to OR Office Residential Zoning District Property Location: West 32" d St. PIN 1016227007 As Residents in the neighborhood and adjacent to the proposed property, I (We) object to any change in zoning designation other than the R-1 Single Family Residential as it now is designated.

You may recognize this property as the site of a long-standing garden. My name is Sherry Ehrlich. I currently have an accepted offer on this property, contingent upon its successful rezoning to OR - Office/Residential. My daughter Ava and I are the owners of Eleven I Eleven Realty, a small, family -run real estate company. We are not affiliated with large franchises like ReMax, Exit, Keller Williams, Coldwell Banker, or Century 21. Our vision has always been to create a warm, welcoming office space that reflects our values and serves as a long-term home for our business. This lot would be the perfect fit. We're excited about the possibility of building somethingthat reflects who we are and what we do —something we can be proud of. To provide full transparency: our offer was originally a backup. The primary offer was from a party seeking R-4 Multi -Family Residential zoning. We recently became the primary offer after that party asked for more time to prepare for the zoning meeting. If our OR- Office/Residential zoning request is denied, it's possible the original party may reapply for R-4 Multi -Family Residential zoning. We're reaching out to share our vision and invite your support, should you have a preference. We believe that a small, owner -occupied office space —professional, low -impact, and thoughtfully designed — would be a more appropriate and beneficial fit for this location than high -density residential development. Additionally, the existing R-1 Single -Family Residential zoning presents challenges due to the lot's location. With the bike/walking path running closely along two sides of the property, a future homeowner may have concerns about privacy and safety. In contrast, this unique settingwould work well for a quiet office, offering visibility without intrusion. Ava and I are committed to being respectful, thoughtful neighbors. We've waited many years for the right opportunity to build something of our own. This would be more than just an office —it would be a legacy project for our family and our future. If you have any questions or would like to talk further, I would be happy to connect. My contact information is below.
