RE: Rezoning
Applicant: Buesing & Associates/Paul Fahey, Riverdream Properties
Location: 4039 Pennsylvania Avenue
Description: To rezone property from R-3 Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential to 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
The applicant spoke in favor of the request, reviewing the proposed rezoning and planned
business expansion on the property, including expansion of convenience store and gas canopy,
expansion of Dairy Queen restaurant and addition of a drive-thru window, and construction of a
new commercial building on the west end of the site.
Staff reviewed surrounding zoning and land use, and the allowed uses in the C-3 General
Commercial District.
There was one person who spoke with concerns for the wide range of commercial uses allowed
in C-3 and its negative impact on the property value of adjacent residential property.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, noting that the range of uses allowed
by C-3 General Commercial District is not appropriate in this area next to single-family
residential homes. The Commission discussed with the applicant rezoning to C-2
Neighborhood Shopping Center District. The applicant agreed to accept rezoning to C-2.
Recommendation
By a vote of 6 to 0, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council approve
the rezoning of the subject parcel to C-2 Neighborhood Shopping Center District.
A simple majority vote is needed for the City Council to approve the request.

Re:
Rezoning for Kwik Stop Food Mart
@ 4039 Pennsylvania Avenue
Dear Kyle:
As a follow-up to our recent conversations, we have prepared this letter to define specifically the special
conditions that we are proposing in regards to the rezoning proposal for a C-3 district as noted above.
The existing Kwik Stop Food Mart is zoned C-2. This zoning classification will not allow our client to
establish a drive-thru at the existing Dairy Queen that is located within and is a part of the Food Mart. The
drive-thru is however, allowed in the C-3 District.
In addition, our client has purchased the adjacent lot to the west and has requested rezoning of that lot also.
A portion of this new lot will be utilized for the expansion of the Dairy Queen and the existing gasoline
service station at the site. Since the drive-thru Dairy Queen portion of the operation will most likely also
encroach onto the adjacent lot to the west, it was determined that the C-3 zoning for that lot was appropriate
also.
We are requesting that the two parcels be rezoned to a C-3 commercial designation with a specific
condition. The condition is that the uses on the lots will be limited to only C-2 uses, the same as on the
present Kwik Stop lot, but with the ability to have a drive-thru for the Dairy Queen. In this manner, we will
not expand the types of uses for these lots beyond those already allowed at the Kwik Stop Food Mart lot
and the adjacent lot to the east where ReMax Advantage Realty and other appropriate businesses are
located.
We would appreciate it if the rezoning request were proposed to the Zoning Advisory Commission and
eventually the City Council in this manner.
Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
~d:~

To whom it may concern:
As a resident of 4867 Embassy Court since 1988, I have no objection in regards to the proposed change
in zoning as requested by the Kwik Stop. I have foùnd that Kwik Stop has been very neighborhood
conscious. Anytime that a resident voiced a concern they have always addressed the issue immediately.
Since Kwik Stop has acquired the empty lot next to their existing store, the lot has been better
maintained compared to previous years. K wik Stop has also begun construction of a much needed
sidewalk around the perimeter of the lot. I feel that Kwik Stop's plans for expansion will be positive for
residents as well as other businesses on the west end of Dubuque.

Rezoning Staff Report - 4039 Pennsylvania
Page 2
Adjacent Properties: The adjacent properties will be most likely impacted by the
proposed development through an increase in the level of noise, odors and litter.
CIP Investments: None proposed.
Staff Analysis: The requested rezoning is from C-2 Neighborhood Shopping Center
District and R-3 Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential to C-3 General Commercial.
The rezoning request is intended to facilitate expansion of the existing gas station
convenience store, expansion of the Dairy Queen, including a new drive-thru and
additional retail shops in a separate building. The requested rezoning to C-3 General
Commercial district is necessary to allow the drive-thru facility for the expanded Dairy
Queen restaurant. A letter from Ken Buesing of Buesing & Associates, Inc. is attached
that further explains the requested rezoning.
The subject property is located on the northeast corner at Pennsylvania Avenue and
Embassy West Drive. The subject property is bordered to the north by single-family
homes and to the west by multi-family residential units. The Commission may want to
discuss screening adjacent to the single-family homes. The Zoning Ordinance requires
a six (6) foot high screen where commercial development abuts a residential district.
Attached to this staff report is a copy of the C-3 General Commercial and C-2
Neighborhood Shopping Center Districts that lists the permitted uses for each district.
The general purpose and description of the C-3 District indicates that it is intended to
provide commercial uses, which are designed to serve the motoring public, or uses
requiring highway or arterial locations for their most beneficial operation, and which
cannot be more appropriately located in other commercial districts. The requested
rezoning is an expansion of commercial zoning that extends to the Northwest Arterial
(Highway 32).
Planning staff recommends that the Zoning Advisory Commission review the criteria for
reviewing rezoning requests containing Section 6-1.1.

Dear Commission Members and City Council officials:
We oppose the re-zoning request at the NW Arterial and Pennsylvania (to Embassy
West Drive) because there is not a sufficient basis to Change from residential to
cornmercial. To rezone this block, which abuts residential property, would lead to
excessive noise, litter and traffic to our detriment. This action and its ensuing results
would jeopardize residential property values in the neighborhood.
If the comer were rezoned to C3 as requested, a billboard could be installed at this site
which would be visibly unappealing to the neighborhood.
Please give serious consideration to denying this request. A drive-thru Dairy Queen and
billboard would not improve the neighborhood.
