Description: To rezone property from HI
Commercial zoning district.
Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
Heavy Industrial to C-4 Downtown
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
Planning Staff spoke on behalf of the City's application. Staff displayed a map of the
property and noted the rezoning request is for a community health center. Staff noted the
HI Heavy Industrial district allows more intense uses and is generally not an ideal zoning
district for downtown. Staff said the rezoning would be a continuation of the C-4 zoning
district to the north and that the C-4 district would allow for commercial and residential
uses better suited for downtown area. Staff noted there has not been any conceptual
review for development on the site to -date.
There were no public comments.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request and questioned whether the
rezoning included two lots and whether the two existing buildings would be used for a
health center. Staff confirmed that a rezoning does include two lots and stated that a
development plan has not yet been provided for the site.
Recommendation
By a vote of 6 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.

Subject Property
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
Mixed Use Development which is intended 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. As proposed, the rezoning would be
consistent with that future land use designation.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: Existing utilities located along Elm Street, 16t" Street, and 15t" Street are
adequate to serve the subject property.
Traffic Patterns/Counts: The Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) categorizes
Elm Street as a Minor Arterial, and 15t" and 16t" Streets as Local Streets. For Elm Street,
the most recent traffic counts are from 2017 and show an average annual daily count of
9,000 vehicles. For 16t" Street the most recent traffic counts are from 2013 and show
an average annual daily count of 4,530 vehicles. For 151" Street the most recent traffic
counts are from 2021 and show an average annual daily count of 460 vehicles.

Rezoning Staff Report: 1550 Elm St and 411 East 15th Street Page 3
The site is currently improved with existing structures that are unoccupied and there has
been some metal scrapping on the property. Rezoning will allow for redevelopment of
the site which will result in additional vehicle trips to/from the site. Any proposed
development use on the site will be reviewed by the city's Development Review Team
during which traffic impacts will be evaluated by the Engineering Department to ensure
that potential traffic impacts are mitigated.
Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the subject property
regardless of how it may be utilized or redeveloped.
Environment: Any redevelopment 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 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,
the Department of Correctional Services offices to the south, Crescent Community
Health campus to the north, and vacant industrial zoned property to the east across the
railroad tracks. The proposed rezoning to C-4 would be a continuation of the C-4 zoning
district to the north and would change the zoning designation for the subject property
only. 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 HI Heavy
Industrial to C-4 Downtown Commercial zoning district to allow for the development of a
community health facility.
The subject property is in an area of the City that has historically been zoned for heavy
industrial use; however, the area has seen some redevelopment/revitalization in recent
years. The subject property is improved with existing structures that are unoccupied.
Some exterior storage has occurred on the property.
The subject property is comprised of two lots totaling approximately 1.3 acres. The
property occupies the entire block between 15th and 16th Streets and between Elm Street
and the railroad tracks to the east. The property is primarily flat, and the surrounding
development consists of residential uses, the Department of Correctional Services
offices, Crescent Community Health campus, and vacant industrial zoned property to the
east across the railroad tracks.
The Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) categorizes Elm Street as a Minor
Arterial, and 15th and 16th Streets as Local Streets. For Elm Street, the most recent traffic
counts are from 2017 and show an average annual daily count of 9,000 vehicles. For
16th Street the most recent traffic counts are from 2013 and show an average annual

Rezoning Staff Report: 1550 Elm St and 411 East 151" Street Page 4
daily count of 4,530 vehicles. For 15th Street the most recent traffic counts are from 2021
and show an average annual daily count of 460 vehicles. Rezoning will allow for
redevelopment of the site as a community health facility which may result in additional
vehicle trips to/from the site. Any proposed development use on the site will be reviewed
by the city's Development Review Team during which traffic impacts will be evaluated
by the Engineering Department to ensure that potential traffic impacts are mitigated.
The subject property would be adequately served by existing utilities in the area and
public services and would be, regardless of the type of development on the site. Any
redevelopment 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
development. Therefore, the proposed rezoning is not anticipated to have an any adverse
impacts on the environment.
