The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
City of Dubuque
City Hall — 50 W. 13t" Street
Dubuque IA 52001
Applicant: Patrick Norton, Buesing & Associates
Location: 1836 Washington Street
Description: To rezone property from R-2A Alternate Two-Family Residential to C-4
Downtown Commercial zoning district.
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
Pat Norton, Buesing & Associates, 1212 Locust Street, spoke on behalf of the property
owner, Gary Carner. He stated that he seeks to build a contractor shop adjacent to his
current shop. He clarified that the request is to rezone only the1836 Washington property
and not the adjacent property to the south. He said the new shop will be similar to the one
located at 1800 Washington Street.
Staff detailed the staff report and displayed the zoning map of the area. Staff discussed
the mixed zoning and land uses of the adjacent lots and surrounding area, including an
existing C-4 district across the street. Staff said the current land use is a community
garden, and the property owner, Mr. Carner desires to construct a contractor shop on
the property. Staff noted the lot is relatively small, limiting potential uses and minimizing
the scale of development and potential for traffic impacts.
There was no public input.
The Commission discussed the request and acknowledged that there are a variety of
zoning districts and land uses in the area.
Recommendation
By a vote of 5 to 0, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council
approve the request to rezone the property at 1836 Washington Street from R-2A
Alternate Two-Family Residential to C-4 Downtown Commercial zoning district.
A simple majority vote is needed for the City Council to approve the request.

Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan goals promote
infill and mixed-use development. The City's Future Land Use Plan identifies the
property as Mixed Use. As proposed, the project would help to meet the following
recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan:
- Promote mixed-use development both downtown, within the John F. Kennedy
Road Corridor, and key intersections along the Southwest Arterial. These mixed-
use areas should provide a variety of residential choices, access to goods and
services, and neighborhood amenities like parks and schools within a walkable
environment.
- Be responsive to market demands and the needs of residents by providing key
retail and employment centers. Ensure that such development does not impact
the quality of life in adjacent residential neighborhoods.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: The area is adequately served by both city water and sanitary sewer. Mains
for both utilities are located in the alley to the east of the subject site.

Staff Report — Rezoning: 1836 Washington Street Page 3
Traffic Patterns/Counts: The lowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) categorizes
Washington Street as a Local Street. There are no recent traffic counts in the area.
There is a count of 4,020 average daily trips from 1997. Given the property is generally
small in nature, which would limit the scale of development, traffic patterns and counts
are not anticipated to be substantially impacted 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.
Environment: Development on the site is currently limited by the lot size and existing
surrounding development. 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 any adverse impacts on the environment.
Adjacent Properties: The subject property is primarily flat with frontage along
Washington Street to the west and a public alley to the east. The property is in a
mixed-use neighborhood comprised of commercial and residential uses. Properties to
the west include Orange Park and commercial uses including Tri-State Construction.
Properties located directly to the north of the subject site are primarily residential and to
the south is Welborn Painting and Drywall. Properties to the east consist of residential
uses and Giant Laundromat. 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 is requesting to rezone the subject property from R-2A
Alternate Two-Family Residential to C-4 Downtown Commercial zoning district.
The subject property is located along the east side of Washington Street between East
18t" Street and East 19t" Street. The property is currently being utilized as a community
garden and the property owner desires to redevelop the property for a commercial use.
The subject property is surrounded by a mix of commercial and residential uses.
Properties to the west include Orange Park and commercial uses including Tri-State
Construction. Properties located directly to the north of the subject site are primarily
residential and to the south is Welborn Painting and Drywall. Properties to the east
consist of residential uses and Giant Laundromat.
The existing R-2A zoning district allows for eleven (11) Principal Permitted Uses and the
proposed C-4 zoning district allows for fifty-nine (59) Principal Permitted Uses. The
chart below shows the permitted uses in both the existing R-2A zoning district and the
proposed C-4 zoning district. The highlighted uses are permitted within both districts. A
copy of the existing R-2A and the C-4 zoning code sections are attached.

The requested rezoning would be generally consistent with other uses and zoning
districts within the mixed-use neighborhood including the C-4 district located to the west
of the subject site. Other surrounding zoning districts include LI — Light Industrial directly
to the south, C-2 Neighborhood Shopping Center to the northwest and northeast, R-2A
Alternate Two-Family Residential to the west, north, and east, and OS Office Services
to the south.
The lowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) categorizes Washington Street as a
Local Street. There are no recent traffic counts in the area. There is a count of 4,020
average daily trips from 1997. Given the property is generally small in nature which
would limit the scale of development, traffic patterns and counts are not anticipated to
be substantially impacted with the proposed rezoning.
Development on the site would be restricted by the lot size and existing surrounding
development. 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 any adverse impacts on the environment.
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.
