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 Korrin and Sean Schriver, 2884 Davenport Street, spoke on behalf of their application. They said they live adjacent to the two lots they own and are requesting to rezone both of them with the intent to lift the condition about number and type of goats allowed, noting they have successfully owned goats and used them for maintaining the property. They said they plan to convert the baseball diamonds into grazing pasture and noted that they are no longer planning to build a home on the parking lot property. They noted they are engaged in an agricultural research study with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and may explore having a pig. They said they went to all the neighbors who received public notification about the request and talked with approximately twenty- six of them, and everyone was either supportive or indifferent to the proposal. There was no public input. Staff detailed the staff report stating the request is to rezone the two properties from R-1 and AG with conditions to AG with no conditions. Staff noted that the current condition places some limits on the animals that can be raised there. Staff said the Commission has the ability to approve as submitted or to place conditions. Staff said any development on the property would require development review. Staff concluded that the change in zoning should have little impact to neighbors and noted the recommendations in the Comprehensive Plan that support this request. Staff noted that there are some site constraints, such as access and topography, that make this site difficult to develop otherwise. Service People Integrity Responsibility Innovation Teamwork Page 842 of 1019 The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members Page 2 The Commission sought to clarify if the applicant was requesting both properties to be zoned AG or to change the conditions and if staff recommended any conditions. Staff replied they are seeking to rezone to AG with no conditions, but the Commission could discuss any conditions they may deem appropriate. Staff concluded that there were no recommended conditions. Recommendation By a vote of 6-0 Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council rezoning the request as submitted. A simple majority vote is needed for the City Council to approve the request.

As many of you know, we've been proudly operating ReEvolution Farms here in our neighborhood, working hard to grow healthy food and improve the land using regenerative practices that benefit our students, our customers, and our community. We are writing today to let you know about a request we have submitted to the Dubuque City Council and to ask for your understanding and, if possible, your support. Specifically, we are asking the City to: 1. Rezone our small parking lot area from R-1 (Residential) to Agricultural so the entire farmstead is zoned the same way (this is just a technical cleanup —nothing about the look or use of the property will change, we will also be able to graze our goats on the surrounding area and wood line for additional forage grazing). 2. Increase our allowed number of brush -management goats from 6 to 12. Why are we asking for these changes? We have been selected to participate in a 5-year research and demonstration project with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS — part of the USDA). The goal of the study is to show how small-scale rotational grazing and innovative cover crops can be scaled up to benefit commercial farmers as well as: • Naturally control invasive brush and weeds (the goats do an amazing job with almost no noise or chemicals), • Grow extremely high -protein livestock feed without synthetic fertilizers, • Use a plant called Sunn Hemp, an extremely high atmospheric nitrogen fixer and excellent fodder crop, and (no THC) industrial hemp (licensed and inspected by the USDA) to pull excess nitrogen out of the soil and rainwater before it runs into our local streams and the Mississippi —helping keep our rivers and fish healthier. • Rotationally planting, grazing, and pulverizing three different crops that will create a diverse "lasagna" style soil building and soil biome mat with each successive crop as well as creating and using our own Bio Char to increase soil health, water retention, and soil microbial biome. Page 847 of 1019 To run the study properly, the NRCS has asked us to rotate 6 additional goats through the farm each year (still a very small, quiet herd). The goats will be contained with permanent fencing and portable electric net fencing cost shared with the NRCS, managed daily, and will spend most of their time in rotational forage and fodder pastures made up of the surrounding hillside and flat northern half of the field. We know that any change can raise questions, especially when it involves animals. Here's what will NOT change: • No increase in smell, flies, or noise (our current 6 goats are almost silent and have not caused complaints or incidences). • No other loud animals. • No additional vehicle traffic or farm activity near your properties. • The original 6 goats will continue to be pets as much as working animals, and the yearly additional 6 will, besides helping to generate the livestock fodder performance data the NRCS desires, provide a clean invaluable food source to ourselves and interested community members —they are friendly, very well cared for, and a joy to have around. If the Council approves this request, ReEvolution Farms will become one of the first urban/regenerative demonstration and educational sites in Iowa, helping prove that even small city -edge farms can improve water quality, build healthier soil, feed people sustainably and help educate and inspire student participants. We're excited to represent our neighborhood in this positive way. The City Council will hold a public hearing on this request (date to be announced soon, you will or should have received a letter from the City of Dubuque). Your voice matters a great deal to them. If you support what we're trying to door if you have any concerns at all —please feel free to reach out to us directly, attend the hearings, or send a quick note to the Council or our ward Representative Danny Sprank. We are always happy to give you a tour, answer questions, or address anything that might worry you. You can reach us anytime at 563-543-7510 or reevolutionfarmsteadkgmail.com, or just stop by —we love having neighbors visit! Thank you for being such great neighbors and for considering this request. With your understanding, we believe this project can make our whole area a little greener, cleaner, and prouder. With gratitude, Sean Schriver Korrin Schriver ReEvolution Farms P.S. The goats say "baa-thank you" in advance!

The Holy Ghost church, school, and ballfields were developed here in 1896. The subject properties served as ballfields and parking lot (for the ballfields) for the church and school. The parking lot and ballfields have remained in use over the years but were otherwise vacant until 2018. In 2018, the ballfield portion of the site was rezoned, and ReEvolution Farm has been operating from the site since. Physical Characteristics: The subject property is comprised of two lots (ballfields and parking lot) totaling approximately 5.4 acres. The property sits behind and below the residences along Davenport Street and on top of a wooded bluff and behind the church, school, and residences to the north and east. The property is at least partially screened by vegetation and/or steep grade on all sides. The site has limited access which is constrained by topography and lot layout.

The plan also encourages eco- education programming, mixed use and infill development. Imaact of Reauest on: Utilities- Existing utilities are available and adequate to serve the subject property. It should be noted that if the property owner desires to connect to water or sanitary sewer in the future, the property owner would be responsible for the expense(s) related to installing laterals and connection(s) to the existing utilities. Traffic Patterns/Counts: The Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) categorizes Davenport Street as Local. There are no recent traffic counts in the area. There is a count of 200 average daily trips from 1975. Given the property has been operating as a farm since 2018, traffic patterns and count should remain substantially unchanged with the proposed rezoning. Public Services- Existing public services are adequate to serve the subject property regardless of how it may be utilized or redeveloped. Page 850 of 1019 Rezoning Staff Report: 2900 Block of Davenport Street Page 3 Environment: Development on the site is currently limited by the existing access and nearby fire hydrant locations. Any redevelopment of the property(ies) 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 sits behind and below the residences along Davenport Street and on top of a wooded bluff behind the church, school, and residences to the north and east. The property is at least partially screened by vegetation and/or steep grade on all sides. The site has limited access which is constrained by topography and lot layout. 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 AGc Agriculture with conditions and R-1 Single Family Residential to AG Agriculture zoning district. The subject properties were originally subdivided circa 1890 and purchased by the Archdiocese of Dubuque. The Holy Ghost church, school, and ballfields were developed here in 1896. The subject properties served as ballfields and parking lot (for the ballfields) for the church and school. The parking lot and ballfields have remained in use over the years but were otherwise vacant. In 2018, the ballfield portion of the site was rezoned , and ReEvolution Farm has been operating from the site. The parking lot portion was not included at that time because the applicants had intended to construct a dwelling on the parcel. They have instead purchased an adjacent home and the plan to build was abandoned. The applicants are now proposing to rezone for two reasons: 1. in order to allow their livestock to graze on and help maintain the parking lot property. 2. to remove or amend the existing condition attached to the ballfield property. The current AGc district is limited per the following condition: 1) That the animals allowed on the subject property be limited to fowl, excluding ratites (the mostly large, flightless birds with a ratite breastbone — i.e., the ostrich, rhea, emu, cassowary and kiwi), bees, a maximum of five pigmy goats and aquaponics. The proposed AG district allows for three (3) Principal Permitted Uses and expressly prohibits feedlots and livestock confinement operations. The proposed R-1 district allows for nine (9) Principal Permitted Uses. A copy of the full summary of each zoning district is attached to this report. Page 851 of 1019 Rezoning Staff Report: 2900 Block of Davenport Street Page 4 Principal Permitted Uses R-1 Zoning District AG Zoning District Cemetery, mausoleum, or columbarium. Farming and agriculture, including the raising of field crops and livestock, horticulture, forestry, animal husbandry, and similar farming activities. Community gardens. Noncommercial nursery.

Place of religious exercise or assembly. Public, private or parochial school approved by the state of Iowa K - 12). Railroad or public or quasi -public utility, including substation. Single-family detached dwelling. The Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) categorizes Davenport Street as Local. There are no recent traffic counts in the area. There is a count of 200 average daily trips from 1975. Given the property has been operating as a farm since 2018, traffic patterns and count should remain substantially unchanged with the proposed rezoning. Existing utilities are available and adequate to serve the subject property. It should be noted that if the property owner desires to connect to water or sanitary sewer in the future, the property owner would be responsible for the expense(s) related to installing laterals and connection(s) to the existing utilities. Development on the site is currently limited by the existing access and limited nearby fire hydrant locations. However, some additional development is permitted. Any redevelopment of the property(ies) 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 any adverse impacts on the environment. The Comprehensive Plan encourages the creation of edible landscaping and community gardens. The plan also encourages eco-education programming, mixed use and infill development. Community gardens, greenhouses and low intensity agricultural can be compatible with, and even enhance, residential neighborhoods by providing a source of healthy, fresh agricultural products, for the neighborhood and the community in general. 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.
