January 23, 1976 Honorable Mayor and City Council The City of Dubuque Planning and Zoning Commission has held a public hearing on the petition of the First Baptist Church request- ing reclassification from the R-2 Residential District to the OR-l Office-Residence District on prop- erty located, at 3061 Asbury Road. A petition bearing 492 signa- tures opposing the reclassification was received at the public hear- ing. In addition, several letters of opposition were also received. These items are herewith trans- mitted for your review. Representatives of the First Bap- tist Church were present to ex- press their interest in the OR-l reclassification. Several other per- sons who spoke in favor of the request did so in regard to Sev- enth Step Foundation's proposal to occupy the subject property. Com- mission members expressed sym- pathy with the aims of the Seventh Step Foundation but were aware that their obligation was to con- sider the implication of the OR-l District and of tbe range and in- tensity of use that would be made lawful in the reclassification. The Commission has also considered the long history of zoning deliberations in that vicinity and the precedents that have been established in those earlier cases. The impact of the proposed reclassification was con- sidered not only upon the subject property, but was also considered the same OR-l District as might later apply to other vacant prop- erties in the general vIcinity. In considering the broader im- plications of the proposed OR-l cIlassificatiou, the Planning and Zoning Commission has deter- mined that the expansion of that district is not appropriate to the Asbury Road-Judson Drive vicinity. It is the unanimous opinion of the Planning and Zoning Commission that the petition of the First Bap- tist Church should be denied. You should note that tbe mo- tion recommending denial of the petition also contained the Com- mission's endorsement of the Sev- enth Step Foundation Program aud the request that the City assist in finding a suitable location for their facility. This motion also carried unanimously. CITY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Daniel Dittemore Development Planner Councilman Stackis moved tbat the communication be received and filed and recommeudation of de- nial be approved. Seconded by Ma- yor Lundh. Carried by the follow- ing vote: Yeas-Mayor Lundh, Councilmen Brady, Stackis, Tully, Wertzberger. Nays-None. January 23, 1976 Honorable Mayor and City Council The City of Dubuque Planning and Zoning Commission has held a public hearing on the petition of Mr. Cyril Boge requesting a re- 18 Special Session, January 26,1976 classification from R-2 District to R-3 District on his property at 2349 and 2365 University Avenue. The property is legally described at Lot 1 of Lot 2 of Lot 222 and Lot 223 in "Finley's Addition in the City of Dubuque, Iowa." At the hearing, a petition was received noting the objection of 14 property owners from within the block surrounding Mr. Boge's prop- erty. In addition, several property owners and their legal counsel were present to state opposition to the proposed reclassification. The Commission has considered the type of development that would result from the proposed reclassification, and had deter- mined that such development would have an unfavorable impact on adjacent residential properties. It is the opiuion of the Planning and Zoning Commission that the R-3 Residential District is not an appropriate classification for the subject property at this time. It is the unanimous recommen. dation of the Planning and Zoning Commission that Mr. Boge's peti- tion be denied.
