The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
City of Dubuque
City Hall — 50 W. 13 Street
Dubuque IA 52001
Applicant: City of Dubuque
Description: To amend Article 5 Unified Development Code to delete Personal
Services as an allowed use in the C -2A Mixed Use Neighborhood District
and C -2 Neighborhood Shopping Center District.
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
Staff Member Hemenway reviewed the purpose of the text amendment noting that
personal services was defined in the old zoning ordinance, but it is not defined in the
new Unified Development Code. He said that it is staff's opinion that those uses in
personal services are encompassed by retail sales and service, which is a permitted
use in both C -2 and C -2A Districts. He said, therefore, personal services as a permitted
use is no longer needed in the two districts.
There were no public comments.
The Zoning Advisory Commission noted that they agreed with the request.
Recommendation
By a vote of 6 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,
`;,
Jeff tiles, Chairperson
Zoning Advisory Commission

SUBJECT: Text Amendment Eliminating Personal Services from C -2 and C -2A Districts
DISCUSSION
Zoning districts C -2 and C -2A of the Unified Development Code (Articles 5 -11 & 5 -12)
list Personal Services as a principal permitted use. Article 2 of the UDC, Definitions,
does not define Personal Services.
Retail sales and service is also listed as a principal permitted use in both C -2 and C -2A
districts. Planning Services Staff have determined that the uses permitted as retail
sales and service would encompass those permitted by personal services.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff recommends that the Zoning Advisory Commission review the enclosed
information and recommend that Personal Services be eliminated as a principal
permitted use from both C -2 and C -2A Districts as it serves no purpose.
