INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memo ism provide notice thatthe draft Imagine Dubuque Future Land Use
Map proposed processfor seeking public Input Is beginning. The draft map and a quick poll
related to land use are enclosed
BACKGROUND
Representa0ves from DMATS and Tesla Associates metwitlh Planning Services staff to create
a draft Future Land Use Map for public input as part of the Imagine Dubuque community
engagement processforthe new Comprehensive Plan. The group reviewed Input received
through Imagine Dubuque and other resources related to future land use, including the 2014
Southwest Arterial Economic Impact Analysis. The group also reviewed the Future Land Use
Map associated with the DMATS 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan, which was adopted by
the DMATS Policy Committee In October 2010 and amended In January 2017
The DMATS Plan involved coordination among DMATS, Qty and County staff, smaller cites In
the region community and regional stakeholders, and substantial public Input The DMATS Plan
also involved transportation modeling and forecasts linked to population projections, future land
use and financial resources. These attributes of the DMATS Plan made the DMATS Future
Land Use Map a good foundation for creating a draft Imagine Dubuque Future Land Use Map.
DISCUSSION
The draft Imagine Dubuque Future Land Use Map depicts seven (7) major land uses Single
Family Restlential, Multi Family Restlential, Commercial, Institutional, Industnal, Mixed Use,
and Fakd9Open Space. (Institutional includes hospitals, schools, and places of religious
assembly)
Mixed use
The concept of mixed use neighborhoods was pare of the Imagine Dubuque community Input
The concept reflectsa flexible mix of land uses, such as a mix of residential and commercial
land uses, and a mix of housing types, from single family homes to multifamily unit.
Mixed use areas can provide many benefit Resident of mixed use neighborhoods have more
opportunities to walk or bike because theirjobs, shopping, entertainment schools, services, and
places of religious assembly are located nearby. Increased walking and biking results In
reduced traffic congestion and vehicle emissions, and improved public health.
The City's current Future Land Use Map shows the Port of Dubuque as mixed use. We have
extended this mixed-use designation to include Downtown, Central Avenue Corridor, John F.
Kennedy Road Corridor, intersection of US 61/151, intersection of the Southwest Arterial with
US 61/151 based on Imagine Dubuque community input of these areas.
In addition, the group added mixed use at the intersection of the Southwest Arterial and North
Cascade Road. This designation is consistent with the DMATS 2045 Long Range
Transportation Plan. Mixed use will support the range of residential, commercial and institutional
uses, including public schools, likely to develop around this intersection.
Potential growth areas
We included the potential growth areas within and beyond the City's two-mile urban fringe
analyzed as part of the draft 2017 Annexation Study for extension of City water and gravity
sanitary sewer. The draft 2017 Annexation Study will be presented to the City Council later this
year.
The draft Imagine Dubuque Future Land Use Map reflects single-family subdivisions as the
most likely development anticipated with the future extension of City utilities and services into
these areas. This residential land use is consistent with the population projections in the 2014
Southwest Arterial Economic Impact Analysis and the DMATS 2045 Long Range Transportation
Plan for these potential growth areas.
Community engagement
The sixth Imagine Dubuque Quick Poll for Land Use is enclosed. Quick Polls are short, multiple-
choice surveys posted to the website, app and distributed at community workshops and events.
Proposed community engagement opportunities for the draft Imagine Dubuque Future Land Use
Map from mid-July through mid-August include the following:

through Imagine Dubuque website push notifications, Facebook, and Twitter for public
input;

• Displayed at Carnegie-Stout Public Library, Bee Branch Creek Grand Opening, and
Farmers Market to gather public input;
• Displayed at the August 16th Imagine Dubuque Open House hosted by the Long Range
Planning Advisory Commission in Washington Park.
RECOMMENDATION

proposed process for seeking public input on the map is complete, the City Council will give final
consideration for review and approval.

Introduction
A Future Land Use Map identifies the best future physical development of the community. It becomes the
guide for the official zoning map and for making zoning and subdivision decisions.The draft Imagine
Dubuque Future Land Use Map depicts seven (7) major land uses:
• Single-Family Residential (detached single-family dwellings)
• Multi-Family Residential (duplexes, apartment buildings, senior housing, townhouses, condos)

• Industrial (production, manufacturing from raw materials, processing, assembly,wholesale)
• Mixed Use (flexible mix of residential,commercial and institutional uses)
• Park and Open Space (public and private recreational areas, undeveloped green space)
The draft Map shows future land use in the City of Dubuque and within potential growth areas outside
the city limits that can be served by future extension of City water and sewer. It shows the City's two (2)
mile extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ) allowed by the State of Iowa, where the City has the authority to
jointly regulate rural subdivisions with Dubuque County. It also shows the federally-regulated floodplain.
