To rezone property from R-2 Two-Family Residential District to OS

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
The applicant, Bill May, 1370 Valentine Drh~e spoke in favor of the request,
outlining his request to rezone the subject property to establish a dental office in
the existing building or remove the building and construct a new structure. He
stated he would provide off-street parking at this location. Mr. May distributed
letters of support from neighboring property owners and indicated he has talked
to adjacent neighbors who had no objection to his proposal. Mr. May indicated
he is working with an architect on the design of the building. Commissioner
Schlitz stated that this is a logical expansion of the medical facilities in this area.
There were no public comments.
Chairperson Bird entered into the record the letters of support.
Staff Member Kritz reviewed the staff report discussing the surrounding land use
including Mercy Hospital parking and a single-family home. He also reviewed
allowed uses in the OS Office Service district, noting that medical offices in this
district are limited to 5,000 square feet.

REZONING STAFF REPORT
Page 2
Staff Analysis: The applicant has requested rezoning of 989 Langworthy from R-2
Two-Family Residential to OS Office Service District. The applicant has indicated that
the house would be remodeled or a new building constructed for use as a dental office.
The OS Office Service districts limits medical and dental offices to a maximum of 5,000
square feet. Dental offices are required to provide .75 spaces for each employee on
the maximum shift plus 3.5 spaces for each dentist· The subject property is
approximately .5 acre in size which should provide sufficient room to do a small dental
office building. Off-street parking will need to be provided on the lot to serve the
proposed dentist office or any other use allowed by the OS Office Service District.
The subject parcel is developed on three sides for off-street parking related to either
Mercy Medical Center or the 3rd Street dental clinic. Immediately to the west, however,
is another existing single-family home. Staff would note that if the rezoning is
approved, and a dental office or any other type of office development occurs on the
site, that lighting will be restricted to the use of 72 degree cut-off luminaries to limit the
amount of light leaving the property. In addition, screening of the parking area from
adjacent residential structures and the right-of-way will be required.
Staff recommends that the Commission members review Section 6-1.1 of the Zoning
Ordinance that establishes criteda for the review of rezoning requests.

Attention Property Owner
The property of 989 Langworthy is currently zoned R2 (two family
residential). I purchased the property from John Krieman on
December 18, 2000. I am currently seeking to have the property
rezoned to O.S. (office service) with the intent of placing a dental office
in the current location of the existing residence. I will do this by either
remodeling the structure and/or adding to the back of the residence, or
by removing the structure and placing a new building in its place. I will
provide adequate parking for the building by removing the existing
garage and use the remaining property to construct a parking lot. I am
seeking your support for this rezoning.
