about the project.
No one spoke in opposition to the request.

use. He noted the intent of the OC District is to allow a mix of uses. He said that the
OC district permits scale office, retail and multi-family residential uses.

it will have less impact on the adjacent property, and that as there is a need for multi-
family housing in the community, she supported the request.

development and that they are small communities unto themselves. He noted the
proposed location of cancer center on the subject property. He said that notices were
sent to all property owners within 200 feet and that he had received no input. He said
that the previous amendment the Commission had seen recently was to construct a
parking lot adjacent to the helipad. He said that the project will include the provision of
additional parking which he said will meet UDC parking standards. He said the
proposed addition and parking reconfiguration will require site plan review by all
relevant city departments to insure code compliance.
Chairperson Henschel said that it is good to have a net gain in parking.
Commissioner Roussell said that she was pleased there was no opposition to the
request.
Staff Member Kritz said the neighbors had been aware of the proposed addition

owners.

was to rezone 160 acres to PUD with the intent to expand the Dubuque Industrial
Center West. He noted the property's location and surrounding roadway configuration
