and to provide for maintenance assessments for maintaining public areas.
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
David Heiar, Economic Development Director, explained the request to the
Commission. He explained that there will be several changes to the Dubuque
Technology Park Ordinance. He said that when the Dubuque Technology Park was
developed, the City had very little land for industrial and warehousing uses. He said
that the City currently has several sites available for industrial and warehousing uses.
He discussed eliminating the warehouse and industrial uses from the technology park
ordinance and making some other modifications. He explained that the Economic
Development Department has met with all the property owners in the Dubuque
Technology Park and that they are in favor of the proposed amendment to the
ordinance.
Staff Member Kritz presented the staff report. He explained that awalking/hiking trail is
part of the Dubuque Technology Park plan. He discussed the proposed changes to the
Ordinance. He also explained that some industrial uses have been eliminated from the
Technology Park. He said that licensed childcare centers have been added and that
the PUD will be split into two zones known as Zone A and Zone B. He explained that in
Zone B, retail, drycleaners, banks and automated banks located within a main building
only would be allowed. He said stand alone restaurants would be allowed in Zone B.
He explained that they have removed the requirement for lot sizes and street frontages.
He explained that they have changed the maximum lot coverage from 75% to 80% and
have removed the building height requirement. He explained that some of the rear yard

setbacks along the east side of the park have been changed from 100 feet to 25 feet.
He said that performance standards and covenants have been added to the Ordinance.
He explained that they have removed the exterior storage allowance for properties in
the area.
There was one citizen who voiced concerns with the existing storm water detention
basin located in the Dubuque Technology Park property and the lack of a bike/hike trail
that has not yet been built. Staff Member Heiar rebutted, explaining the plan does
include a walking and biking path that will go around the Technology Park. He said that
it is part of the five-year Capital Improvement Plan. He explained that he is not aware of
issues with the storm water detention basis.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, noting that they were in
support of the proposed amendments to the PUD.
Recommendation
By a vote of 4 to 0 the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council
approve the request,.
A simple majority vote is needed for the City Council to approve the request.
Respectfully submitted,
Eug a Bird Jr., Chairperson
Zoning Advisory Commission

SUBJECT: Amendments to the Dubuque Technology Park Planned Unit Development
(PUD) District
DATE: January 30, 2008
INTRODUCTION
This memorandum transmits amendments to the Dubuque Technology Park Planned
Unit Development (PUD) District.
BACKGROUND
The Planned Unit Development District for the Dubuque Technology Park was approved
by the City Council in May 1997. The industrial park is approximately 120 acres in size
and is located at the southeast corner of Highway 61/151 and Lake Eleanor Road. The
industrial park was originally referred to as Dubuque Industrial Center/South in
Ordinance 27-97 that established regulations for development of the park. Subsequent
to adopting the PUD Ordinance, a final plat was approved for the property by the City
Council in June of 1998 and the plat's legal description established the official name as
the Dubuque Technology Park.
When the Dubuque Technology Park was developed, it provided the City of Dubuque
with the majority of available large industrial sites within the corporate limits. The 1995
Dubuque Comprehensive Plan identified the need for 700-800 acres of industrial
property over the next 20 years. At the time, the existing Dubuque Industrial Center on
the City's west side along the Northwest Arterial was comprised of 200 acres, but only a
20-acre parcel and afour-acre parcel were available. Because the Dubuque
Technology Park was the site of most of the city's available industrial property, the list of
permitted uses necessarily encompassed a wide range of office, technology and
industrial uses. Subsequent to the opening of the Dubuque Technology Park, the City
created the Dubuque Industrial Center West at the intersection of Chavenelle and
Seippel Roads.

DISCUSSION
The proposed changes to the Dubuque Technology Park PUD include modifying the list
of permitted uses to reflect the Dubuque Technology Park's role to provide space for
technology-oriented businesses, modifying bulk standards and loading dock regulations,
and including new language to provide maintenance assessments for costs associated
with maintaining public areas within the Dubuque Technology Park. The proposed
amendments to the Dubuque Technology Park reflect changes in the local supply of
available industrial property to ensure a compatible mix of land uses that will protect the
investment made by existing businesses in the park and provide an appropriate location
for new technology-oriented businesses. City staff members from the Economic
Development Department have met with existing business owners in the Dubuque
Technology Park to review the proposed changes to the PUD regulations. The
following is a detailed explanation of the proposed changes.
Section C, Use Regulations, Page 3 of the draft ordinance
The proposed changes to the list of allowed uses for the Dubuque Technology Park
PUD include providing two development zones within the park, Zone A and Zone B.
Zone A takes the existing list of permitted uses and basically eliminates those industrial
uses that are better suited to be located in the Dubuque Industrial Center West. The
allowed uses that remain are limited to general offices, professional offices, and
technology-oriented companies.
Zone B allows the same types of office uses, but also allows some commercial
businesses within a primary building only, except for astand-alone indoor restaurant.
The City's Zoning Ordinance has always allowed some commercial businesses to exist
within industrial districts to provide for a limited amount of commercial development that
will serve industrial park employees with daily commercial and service needs. Zone B
was modeled after a similar zone in the Dubuque Industrial Center West PUD. Zone B
is only applied to Lots 1, 2 and 5, which are adjacent to Highway 61/151.
Section D, Lot and Bulk Regulations, found on Page 8 of the draft ordinance.
Specifically, Section D(2)(a) has been eliminated that required that any subsequent
subdivision of land within the industrial park shall have a minimum of 200 feet of lot
frontage and two acres in size. This restriction was felt to be unnecessary in a
business-oriented park where it's conceivable that smaller technology-oriented
businesses may want to locate on a parcel of land that may be less than two acres in
size or not have 200 feet of lot frontage.
Section D(2)(b) (Page 8) Maximum Lot Coverage, is being proposed to be raised from
75% to 80%. This change is consistent with a recent amendment to the Dubuque
Industrial Center and the existing regulations applied to Dubuque Industrial Center
West. The Dubuque Technology Park has 28 acres of open space maintained by the
City around the perimeter of the industrial park, which helps ensure that the park will be
an attractive development at the southern gateway to the community.
Amendments to the Dubuque Technology Park
Planned Unit Development (PUD) District
Page 3
Section D(2)(c)(Page 8) included restrictions on building height and is being proposed
to be eliminated. Staff believes that a height limitation is not necessary as a result of
the proposed changes to the allowed uses within this business park that will primarily be
composed of office-type buildings. The existing language exempted cooling towers,
condensers, elevator bulk head stacks and other necessary mechanical equipment in
their protective housing from the 50-foot height limitation. In addition, the covenants for
the Dubuque Technology Park require a design review process be completed prior to
construction of any new structure. The park is well buffered from surrounding
residential by existing public areas maintained by the City of Dubuque.
Section D(2)(d) (Page 8) has been modified to reduce the rear yard setback for lots
abutting the east boundary of the industrial center from 100 feet to 25 feet. The current
100 foot setback only applies to buildings and not parking areas. The original
conceptual plan approved in 1997 did not show a 50-foot public area owned by the City
of Dubuque along the east boundary line. The current regulation only applies to Lots 5
and 6 of Block 2. This 50-foot wide public area was established as part of the final plat
approved in 1998. The current 100-foot setback requirement must be measured from
the property line and thus actually results in a buffer of 150 feet from the east boundary
of the park. Staff believes that the change to a 25-foot rear yard setback will not
adversely impact adjacent property because both parcels are developed and there will
still be a 75-foot buffer on Lots 5 and 6. Lot 6 also has a 50-foot drainage easement
that effectively maintains a 100-foot buffer. Additionally, the removal of manufacturing
type of uses lessens the need fora 100-foot setback.
Section H(6) Performance Standards (Page 15) is a new section regarding maintenance
assessments that has been added to the PUD ordinance. This language was
previously in the covenants for the Dubuque Technology Park, but City staff felt that this
language should be in the PUD Ordinance to assure that the long term maintenance of
the public areas within the park.
Section H(10) Performance Standards (Page 16) has been modified to eliminate the
ability to place loading docks on the front facade of a building. The new language
restricts any loading docks to the rear facade and only on the side facade if approved
through the design review process provided in the Dubuque Technology Park
covenants. For buildings on corner lots that are allowed to have a dock, the screening
is required to visually obscure the dock from both street frontages, including trucks
positioned at the dock itself.
Section H (11) Exterior Storage Regulations (Page 17) have been modified to prohibit
exterior storage in this business park. Exterior storage was allowed with requirements
on screening, but with the change in the list of permitted uses to basically office-oriented
types of businesses, that there was no need to allow for exterior storage.
Amendments to the Dubuque Technology Park
Planned Unit Development (PUD) District
Page 4
Throughout the ordinance there have been minor changes to language that was
recommended by the Legal staff, but that do not materially change the regulations. As
an example, wherever the term "the industrial center" is used it now says "this PUD
District." In addition, wherever the subject property was referred to by its original name
as the "Dubuque Industrial Center/South" has been eliminated and the new name
"Dubuque Technology Park" inserted.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff recommends that the Zoning Advisory Commission review the proposed
changes to the Dubuque Technology Park Planned Unit Development District and make
a recommendation to the City Council.
