Description: To amend the Dubuque Industrial Center West Planned Unit Development
signage regulations to allow directional signs to be 24 square feet in area.
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
Jason Duba, Assistant Planner, spoke on behalf of the applicant. He explained that
Universal Tank is seeking to install 24 square foot directional signs. Rather than apply for
a variance that would just affect this property, the City of Dubuque Economic
Development Department saw the benefit in applying to change the regulation for all of
Dubuque Industrial Center West. He explained that the larger directional signs can
improve traffic flow and safety, especially for the movements of semi -trucks, and he noted
that directional signs are not primarily for advertising the business at that location. He
noted that this same increase in area was approved for the Dubuque Industrial Center
South, so they felt it was fair to apply the same standard here.
There was no public input.
The Commission asked about the company logo on the sign renderings for the Universal
Tank directional signs and questioned how many directional signs are allowed. Mr. Duba
replied that directional signs help to identify the location for people viewing the signs and
clarified that there is not a limit on the number of signs
The Commissioner discussed the size of the signs questioning whether 24 square feet
is an appropriate size. Mr. Duba explained that the 24 square foot size is consistent with
what is allowed in the Dubuque Industrial Center South.
The Commission questioned what other sign types of signs are allowed and Mr. Duba
explained that the ordinance contains a table of sign types and size allowances for each.

SUBJECT: To amend the Dubuque Industrial Center West Planned Unit Development to
increase the size of directional signage.
INTRODUCTION
The applicant, the City of Dubuque Economic Development Department, is requesting to
amend the Dubuque Industrial Center West (DICW) Planned Unit Development (PUD) to
allow for directional signs of up to 24 square feet, where the current limit is six square
feet.
BACKGROUND
The DICW PUD is located along Chavenelle Road from Radford Road on the east and
past Seippel Road on the west. The district includes 74 parcels of land. There are
approximately 25 business entities operating in the district, including ABC Supply
Company, RiteHite, Spiegel Warehousing, Theisen's, Hormel, Dubuque Screw Products,
Oral Arts Dental Laboratory, ITC, IWI Motor Parts, Green Industrial Supply, FedEx,
Medline, Geise Manufacturing, 1-800-TSHIRTS, DDI Agriculture, Amazon, IBI Scientific,
HODGE, Tri-State Industries, Vanguard, Crown Warehouse, Dubuque YMCA, Seedlings
Preschool, Dubuque Emergency Communication, City of Dubuque Information
Technology, Alliant Energy, the Adams Company, and Universal Tank & Fabrication.
Universal Tank is the company that is seeking an amendment to allow 24-square foot
directional signage.
The PUD for the DICW was originally established in 1998 with a PI Planned Industrial
designation. Five amendments have been approved to the PUD since its origination to
add more land to the district and to include additional land uses.
The applicants are now requesting to amend the current Ordinance No. 43-23 to increase
the maximum area of directional signs to 24 square feet.

Dubuque Industrial Center West PUD outlined in blue, Universal Tank site highlighted in yellow.
DISCUSSION
The applicant is requesting to increase the allowed area of directional signs from six
square feet to 24 square feet. The Unified Development Code defines directional signs
as follows-
"Directional/Informational Sign- an on -premises sign identifying a premise, or an
activity conducted upon such premises, and providing direction for the safe and
efficient flow of vehicular or pedestrian traffic to such activity or premises.
Directional signs shall include signs marking entrances, exits, parking areas,
loading areas or other operational features of the premises."
This application from the City of Dubuque Economic Development Department is on
behalf of Universal Tank and the rest of the DICW PUD. The request is coming as
Universal Tank conducts additional development on their property, and they have
indicated that due to the large size of their facility with lots of trucks, vehicles, and
employees coming and going, the directional signs should be larger for safety.
Directional signs for this industrial district are intended to aid in the safe and efficient
internal flow of trucks, goods, vehicles, and employees on the site. These signs are not
for the purpose of advertising to the passing traffic. Universal Tank is installing separate
Company Primary Signage for the purpose of identifying the business.
An amendment to the sign regulations of the DICW PUD ordinance would apply to all
properties within the district.

Two years ago, an identical text amendment was approved for increasing the directional
sign area allowance from six square feet to 24 square feet in the Dubuque Industrial
Center South PUD.
RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommends that the Zoning Advisory Commission review the enclosed
materials and make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the proposal to
amend the Dubuque Industrial Center West Planned Unit Development to allow 24-
square foot directional signs.
