PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project provides for a phased program of historic and architectural surveys of Dubuque's older neighborhoods to identify cultural resources for planning and
program implementation as well as neighborhood revitalization and sustainability. This project also supports registrations through nomination and listing of local
historic districts, sites, and properties to the National Register of Historic Places, which facilitates access to historic tax credits and other preservation funding
sources. This project can also assist with historic structure reports or surveys to facilitate rehab and adaptive reuse. City funds would be used to leverage state
grants where feasible; state grants are highly competitive and can extend project time line.
JUSTIFICATION
This project helps to maintain status as a Certified Local Government (CLG) with the State of Iowa, historic and architectural surveys and registrations must be
conducted. Between 2000 and 2005, nearly 5,000 structures in Dubuque's historic districts, conservation districts, and conservation planning areas were surveyed.
These surveys and registrations assist Planning Services staff with conducting mandated Section 106 reviews of potential impacts to cultural resources for
federally-funded housing rehab and other City projects. CLG status allows the City to conduct these reviews in-house, which streamlines project review. These
surveys and registrations also assist with federal and state tax credit applications and disaster assistance. This project implements the Historic Preservation
Commission's annual work plan, a key component of the City's Historic Preservation Program.

preservation of the city’s historic buildings, urban pattern, and natural environment; Cultural Arts Goal Six: To safeguard the cultural and historic resources of the
379

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project supports a significant update of the city's 2012 Comprehensive Plan to include Iowa Smart Planning recommended and required elements. The project
also supports a robust and inclusive "Imagine Dubuque" community engagement process centered on the Sustainable Dubuque model to enrich the update.
JUSTIFICATION
The City Code defines the Comprehensive Plan as: “The community's principle tool to guide its future development, public policies and decision making.” The
Comprehensive Plan outlines the vision for the future growth and development of the city. It is built with ideas and input from city residents, and reflects a
consensus of community values. The plan provides a roadmap to guide the environmental integrity, social/cultural vibrancy, and economic prosperity of the city.
Input from the community is critical to developing a community vision and updating the Comprehensive Plan.
The Community Engagement Process is needed to solicit public input in an innovative and inclusive way, reaching out to stakeholders, residents, and business
owners through a variety of media and interaction types. This outreach will be done with online engagement as well as print media and face-to-face interaction.
The Community Engagement Process is a framework to better involve residents, especially those who were under-represented in past updates of the
Comprehensive Plan.
RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS
The Dubuque Comprehensive Plan's goals help focus the major policy decisions of what services City government will provide, with direct correlation to CIP
projects.
RELATIONSHIP TO SUSTAINABILITY PRINCIPLES
The Comprehensive Plan is built on the Sustainable Dubuque model, and directly supports the sustainability principle of Community Knowledge.
