RE: Rezoning
Applicant: Alan Burr/University of Dubuque
Location: 2184 Bennett St.
Description: To rezone property from R-1 Single-Family Residential District to ID Institutional
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 explaining that the rezoning is necessary to
accommodate relocation of the ROTC office. The present location of the ROTC office is being
demolished to facilitate construction of a new parking lot adjacent to McCormick Street.
Staff reviewed surrounding zoning and land use, and noted that the subject parcel is located
adjacent to the parking lot for Donnell and Cassat Residence Halls.
There were no public comments.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, noting that the requested rezoning
will not adversely impact adjacent property.
Recommendation
By a vote of 5 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,
'i O-l-f

Mid summer greetings - I hope this letter finds you well and that you have had time to enjoy this wonderfully
mild summer weather. Before the fall sports teams begin to arrive on campus, I would like to share some
information about a few of our construction projects and future plans.
The work on phase two of the University Park Vì1lage Apartments and the interior renovations of Cassat and
Donnell Halls are on schedule and furniture will be delivered next week. A total of 16 trucks will be arriving at
these two projects to deliver fW11iture to equip 142 double rooms, 23 5-bedroom apartments and 3 Residence Hall
Director apartments. Each day next week there will be two to four trucks parked for unloading on Bennett Street.
The construction of a new parking lot at the corner of Finley and McCormick Streets will begin with the
demolition of the three houses along McCormick Street just south of Finley Street. Completion of this new
parking lot is planned for early this fall, pending good construction weather. The University is also considering
the expansion of the parking lot at the corner of Grace and Algona Streets toward the East. The house at 2018
Grace Street would be demolished to make room for this expansion. This addition wì1l be attractively designed
and landscaped to provide screening to minimize the impact on adjacent neighbors. Depending on design, this
expansion could accommodate up to 22 additional parking spaces.
The area between the Charles A. Myers Library and Smith Hall wì1l soon be transformed into a new beautiful
plaza complete with new walkways, patio area for the coffeehouse, decorative lighting and many beautiful
plantings. The University is also planning to relocate the ROTC faculty offices ftom 441 McCormick to 2184
Bennett Street to make room for the new parking lot. Attached is an air photo with the locations of the
parking lot expansion and the ROTC faculty offices highlighted in blue and green respectively.
If at any time you have any concerns, questions, or comments about any of the projects on the campus please feel
ftee to contact me at any time at aburr@dbq.edu or 563-589-3710.
