PUBLIC HEARING/REZONING: Application of Robert Hartig to rezone property
located at Dubuque Industrial Center, Chavenelle Rd/NW Arterial from PI Planned
Industrial zoning district to C-3 General Commercial zoning district.
Bob Hartig 1804 Creek Wood Drive, spoke on behalf of Medical Associates noting that
the property is located in the Dubuque Industrial Center and had formerly been a
potential site for a City fire station. He noted that previous projects likely fell through due
to site constraints that included topographic issues. He said that the location is ideal for
serving businesses and employees of the Dubuque Industrial Center(s) and others in
the community. He said that he has reached out to the neighbors and has received
several letters of support. He said that the request represents a downzone from PI to
C-3 which is needed for an occupational medical office. He reiterated some of the
information contained in the staff report.
Staff Member Hemenway detailed the staff report. He reiterated that letters of support
for the zoning change were submitted by the owners of four neighboring properties. He
said that the property is currently zoned Planned Industrial with a public open space
designation. He said that development of the site would require site plan review at

which time storm water management, access and required parking issues would be
considered.
Commissioner Norton asked for clarification regarding the current zoning designation.
Staff member Hemenway noted the property is zoned Planned Industrial but that due to
topography and other site constrains had been designated as public open space.
The Commission discussed the proposal and asked about sidewalks and potential
public trails. Staff member Wernimont said that a bike/hike trail has been programed for
the frontage along the subject property. He said that the trail details would be
considered during the site plan review process.
Commissioner Mulligan said that he felt the rezoning represented a positive
development of the property.
