INTRODUCTION
This memorandum is a request for the City Council to adopt the attached Resolution
approving a Downtown Rehabilitation Grant for fagade improvements at 243 W. 10th
Street.
:1_Ty:Tr]:1111110]ZIC,
The Downtown Rehabilitation Loan Program provides for several grant opportunities for
the rehabilitation of historic buildings and the creation of quality rental residential units in
the downtown area. Since 2007, the City Council has awarded at least one of these
grants to 49 different projects. In 2009, the City Council approved the creation of a
funding pool to encourage new residential housing units in downtown Dubuque, which
complements the rehabilitation grants. The program to date has assisted in the creation
of over 340 quality apartments in our downtown.
Together, these grants, along with Tax Increment Financing funds, have incentivized
the rehabilitation of the Historic Millwork District, multiple buildings in nearly every block
along Main Street and many other downtown properties. Some examples are: Caradco,
Novelty Iron Works, Linseed, and Dupaco/Voices Buildings in the Millwork District; the
Roshek Building; mixed -use buildings in nearly every block of Main Street; multiple
buildings along the Central Avenue Corridor; and many others from 1st Street to 32nd
Street.
Page 227 of 1061
This program has had a positive impact in the appearance and livability of our
downtown, which leads to a more attractive business and residential environment. As
such, the Economic Development Department finds the program to be a great tool for
attracting and retaining a quality workforce for our businesses.
DISCUSSION
For the property listed, staff have performed a "Good Neighbor Inquiry" (with Building
Services, Engineering, Finance, Health, Housing, Legal, Planning, Police, Public Works,
and Utility Billing) for any concerns based on these or other properties owned by the
applicant.
Our staff have confirmed that funds are available in our department's programs. All
agreements will include quality guidelines, as well as non-discrimination requirements.
Properties including housing units will be required to accept Housing Choice Vouchers
from otherwise qualified prospective tenants.
243 W 10th Street
Limestone Legacy, LLC is the owner of 243 W 10th Street. Josh Jansen, Member,
submitted an application for a Downtown Rehabilitation Grant to support the
rehabilitation of the fagade of 243 W 10th Street on February 5, 2026. Jansen proposes
restoring the fagade of the building, including replacing windows, installing a new
commercial storefront with concrete foundation, and stabilizing and repointing masonry.
The commercial storefront space is planned to be leased as a self -serve dog wash
business with the remainder of the space to be a contractor suite. Design plans have
been reviewed and approved by the Planning Department.
The Good Neighbor Inquiry on this property produced no issues. I recommend funding
the Downtown Rehabilitation Grant from CIP 605200002. The matching grant will pay
up to $35,000 as a 1:1 match of the Developer's expenses.

TO: Jill Connors, Economic Development Director
FROM: Chris Happ Olson, Assistant Planner !zl
SUBJECT: Fagade Grant: 243-247 W. loth St.;
Josh Jansen, Restoration & Renovation Services, LLC (RRS)
DATE: February 5, 2026
Introduction
This memorandum forwards the requested design review for work funded with a Fagade
Grant for the property located at 243-247 W. loth Street.
Background
The City of Dubuque Architectural Guidelines, the Secretary of the Interior Standards for
the Treatment of Historic Properties and applicable Technical Preservation Services
Preservation Briefs published by the National Park Service (NPS) apply to this project.
Discussion
This structure is located in the Upper Main Street National Register Historic District
(NRHD), as amended in 2010, and is located in the Jackson Park Neighborhood
Conservation District. As described below in the aforementioned NRHD nomination, the
structure is considered non-contributing. The owner's desire to recreate the windowed
fagade along the west alley side and re -open the storefront into one that is more in line
with traditional and the original storefront helps the structure to better to relate to its
neighbors within this district and is therefore worthy of funding through the City's
Fagade Grant package. The following image shows a historic view.
The following excerpt from the National Register nomination amendment in 2010 shows
the status as evaluated by consultant Jim Jacobsen.

PROGRAM GUIDELINES
(2024)
The Downtown Rehabilitation Grant Program is designed to further the goals and

This program will address building code deficiencies as part of each approved project.
Eligible Applicants: Owners of property within the Greater Downtown Urban
Renewal District (map attached).
Grant Award: The grant is a 1:1 matching grant up to a maximum of Thirty -Five
Thousand Dollars ($35,000).
Eligible Activities
and Assistance: Facade Costs — to provide assistance on labor or material costs
for front (or occasionally other major) fagade renovations to
restore a building's historic appearance or eliminate
inappropriate additions or alterations to improve overall
appearance.
Financial Consultant Costs — to provide assistance on hiring a
financial consultant used to analyze the feasibility of a project.
Planning & Design Grant Program — to provide assistance on
pre -development costs associated with a project.

Page 259 of 1061
General Conditions:
• Property must be located in Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District (see attached
map) and with timely commencement & completion dates identified.
• Projects must be the rehabilitation of an existing structure.
• Property must be classified for tax purposes as a commercial or multi -residential
property.
• All existing code deficiencies within a scope of a project must be corrected and new
improvements must comply with all applicable codes and ordinances.
• Owner of property must certify that all property in the City of Dubuque, for which the
owner has any interest, complies with all applicable City of Dubuque ordinances and
regulations, including, but not limited to, housing, building, zoning, fire, health, and
vacant and abandoned building regulations.
• Exterior alterations are subject to design review and approval. The Historic District
Guidelines shall apply to projects located in Historic Preservation Districts. The
Downtown Design Guidelines shall apply to all other project locations. Projects which
conform to the applicable guidelines may be reviewed and approved by the City
Planner. Projects that do not strictly conform to the applicable guidelines will be
forwarded to the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) for consideration.
Substantial rehabilitation projects may also be considered by the HPC. The process
for review is at the discretion of the City Planner. Guidelines can be viewed and
downloaded at http://cityofdubugue.org/1295/Design-Guidelines.
• Any signs on the property that do not comply with City zoning regulations and design
guidelines must be included in the design review and improved to comply with
applicable City Codes. Submittal must include the design materials and colors that
will be used on the sign face, how the sign will be displayed, and any lighting proposed.
• A detailed rendering/drawing of the proposed project must be included. The plans

members, nor can these costs be counted in the total project costs.
• Projects may not receive the maximum amount of each form of assistance more than

an internal neighborhood impact study — particularly when units are located in mixed -
use neighborhoods.
• Applications will be reviewed quarterly by the Economic Development and Planning
department with funda awarded to projects that meet the program criteria and are
ready to commence within three months.

FACADE INFORMATION
This program provides funding in the Greater Downtown Urban Renewal District for front
(or occasionally other major) fagade renovation to restore the fagade to its historic
appearance or improve the overall appearance. This assistance is intended to address
historically inappropriate exteriors. It is not intended to address normal building
maintenance.
Specific Conditions:
• Reimbursement is for labor and material costs associated with fagade
improvements, including but not limited to, rehabilitating or improving windows,
paint, signage, or awnings to significantly transform overall appearance.
• Landscaping or screening with fencing or retaining walls may be a reimbursable
expense if a determination is made that property is improved adjacent to public
right-of-way.
