Description: To rezone property from R-2A Alternate Two -Family Residential to R-3
Moderate Density Multi -Family Residential zoning district.
Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
The City of Dubuque Zoning Advisory Commission has reviewed the above -cited request
at their meeting on December 3, 2025. The application, staff report, and related materials
are attached for your review.
Discussion
Jacob Kohlhaas, 1125 Richards Road, spoke on behalf of the application. He stated that
he and his wife own these buildings. He noted that 518 East 22nd is a tri-plex and 514
East 22nd is duplex, and they are considering finishing the attic into a studio apartment.
He noted that both properties have a parking lot in the back.
There was no public input.
Staff described the characteristics of the subject properties and the surrounding
neighborhood. Staff explained the rationale for the rezoning being to bring 518 East 22nd
into conformance and providing the opportunity to add a unit to 514 East 22nd. Staff said
that the addition of one unit should have a negligible impact on surrounding properties.
Staff referred to several recommendations from the Comprehensive Plan that support this
change.
Commissioners had no questions or comments.
Recommendation
By a vote of 7 to 0, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council
approve the request as submitted.

Property History: The property at 514 East 22nd Street was built in 1906, while 518 East
22nd Street was built in 1915. The neighborhood around the properties changed
dramatically with the development of the Bee Branch creek and park. Numerous houses
were demolished to the south and west of the subject properties. The property at 514
East 22nd Street borders the Bee Branch, and it is approximately 45' from the trail. The
neighborhood has a mix of uses with single-family homes, multi -family dwellings, a bar,
a restaurant, and institutions including Audubon Elementary School and Holy Spirit
Catholic Church.
Physical Characteristics: The subject properties are adjacent and together total
approximately 0.32-acres (14,088 square feet). The lots front East 22nd Street near the
intersection with Prince Street. The combined frontage is approximately 91'. The lots
slope up approximately 1.8' (1.2%) from the front to the rear. The two properties share a
driveway, and each property has a paved parking area that can accommodate five cars
for a total of 10 parking spaces.

Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan includes several
recommendations that support the requested rezoning:
• Encourage a mix of housing affordable for all segments of Dubuque's population
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.
• 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.
• Integrate a variety of residential product types in mixed -use areas, including multi-
family products such as townhomes and apartments, but also incorporating some
single-family housing.
Page 827 of 1019
Rezoning Staff Report: 514-518 East 22nd St Page 3
• Link existing and future development with open space and trail corridors.
The City's Future Land Use Map identifies 514 East 22nd Street as single-family and 518
East 22nd Street as Multi -Family.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: Existing utilities are adequate to serve the site.
Traffic Patterns/Counts: The Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) categorizes
East 22nd Street as a Minor Arterial. The most recent traffic count on East 22nd Street is
from 2021 and shows an average annual daily count of 4,250 vehicles. Rezoning of the
subject property is likely to lead to the creation of one additional dwelling unit at 514 East
22nd Street, which should not increase vehicle trips substantially.
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 two lots which are already developed.
The applicant proposes adding a third dwelling unit to 514 East 22nd Street to the
unfinished third story. This conversion would need to be reviewed and approved by the
City's Inspection and Construction Services Division. Since neither building would be
expanded, nor additional parking area paved, the proposed rezoning is not anticipated
to have adverse impacts on the environment.
Adjacent Properties: The subject properties are adjacent to residential uses to the
north. To the east, south, and west are open areas for Audubon Elementary School and
the Bee Branch creek and park. The proposed rezoning would create a new R-3 district
in the neighborhood and would change the zoning designation for the two subject
properties only. The R-3 district allows for residential from single-family up to a six -unit
multi -family dwelling, whereas R-2A allows up to two units. The property at 518 East 22nd
Street is legally nonconforming with three units, so the rezoning would bring the property
into conformance. Additionally, the applicant seeks to add a third unit in the unfinished
third story of 514 East 22nd Street, which the rezoning would facilitate.
If the rezoning is approved, both properties have the code -required lot area to allow three
dwelling units. The UDC requires 2,000 square feet of site area per unit which would
equate to a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet for three (3) units. The property at 514
East 22nd Street has 7,549 square feet and 518 East 22nd Street has 6,539 square feet.
Additionally, both properties also have the code -required number of off-street parking
spaces which is 1.5 per unit. For three (3) units, a total of 5 spaces would be required.
Both properties have 5 off-street parking spaces.
Therefore, given that these properties are mostly adjacent to open area, the modest
change proposed by adding one unit to 514 East 22nd Street, and the fact that the
properties are compliant with lot area and off-street parking spaces requirements, the
rezoning is not anticipated to impact adjacent properties in any significant way.

Staff Analysis: The applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from R-2A
Alternate Two -Family Residential to R-3 Moderate Density Multi -Family Residential
zoning district.
The property at 514 East 22nd Street was built in 1906, while the property at 518 East 22nd

demolished to the south and west of the subject properties. The neighborhood has a mix

square feet). The combined frontage is approximately 91'. The two properties share a

for a total of 10 parking spaces.
The Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) categorizes East 22nd Street as a Minor
Arterial. The most recent traffic count on East 22nd Street is from 2021 and shows an
average annual daily count of 4,250 vehicles. Rezoning the subject properties would, at
most, lead to one additional dwelling unit, which should not increase vehicle trips
substantially.
The subject property consists of two lots which are already developed. The applicant
proposes to add one dwelling unit to 514 East 22nd Street to the unfinished third story.
This would need to be reviewed and approved by the City's Inspection and Construction

Both properties have the code -required 6,000 square feet of minimum lot area to allow

parking spaces. Therefore, given that these properties are mostly adjacent open area,
the modest change proposed by adding one unit, and the fact that the properties are

compliant with lot area and off-street parking spaces, the rezoning is not anticipated to
impact adjacent properties in any significant way.
The existing R-2A zoning district allows for 11 Principal Permitted Uses and the proposed
R-3 zoning district allows for 12 Principal Permitted Uses. The chart below provides a
side -by -side summary of the Principal Permitted Uses in both zoning districts. The 10
uses highlighted in yellow are permitted in both zoning districts. A copy of the full summary

more of the above characteristics. The purpose of this district is to stabilize and preserve
the residential character of existing areas through the establishment of bulk regulations in
