REZONING 8T AFF REPORT
Zoning Agenda: October 4, 2000
Property Address: 1105 University Avenue
Property Owner:
Nick and Jane Hancock
Applicant:
Nick and Jane Hancock
Proposed Land Use: Residential
Proposed Zoning: R-3
Existing Land Use: Vacant Commercial
Existing Zoning: C-3 w/conditions
Adjacent Land Use: East, South
and West - Commercial
North - Residential
Adjacent Zoning: East, South,
and West - C-2
North - R-2
Former Zoning:
1934 - Light Business; 1975 C-2;
1985 C-2
Total Area: 2600 sq. ft.
Property History: The property is located in the University/Hill area which has
been historically a mixed-use area consisting of small businesses, bars, restaurants,
and retailers surrounded by residential neighborhoods. Although two of the major bars
have subsequently closed in this area, the area has remained highly mixed use with
general retail oriented toward University Avenue surrounded by single and multi-family
residences. The property was formerly Gomer's Bar, and was rezoned after the bar
closed from C-2 to C-3 with conditions, to enable retail sales and a neighborhood
shopping center with indoor amusement. There have been a number of retailers in this
building and it is currently vacant.
Physical Characteristics: The property consists of an approximately 5,000 square foot
lot, 3,100 square feet of which is consumed by the building footprint. The area
requested to be rezoned includes 2,600 square feet of the lot and approximately one
half of the building. The property in the area is densely developed, and commercial
structures east and west of the subject property are built with zero foot setbacks from
the front and side property lines. There are residential structures located directly
adjacent to the subject property along Booth Street. There is currently no parking
available on the subject property.
Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan makes no
recommendations for this area.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: Existing utilities are adequate to serve the site.
Traffic Patterns/Counts: The 1993 lOOT traffic map indicates 7,100 daily trips on
University Avenue, just west of this location.

REZONING STAFF REPORT
Page 2
Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the site.
Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impact to the environment.
Adjacent Properties: The subject parcel is bordered on three sides by commercial
development and the proposed residential portion of the building will abut existing
residential development.
CIP Investments: None proposed.
Staff Analysis: The applicant is proposing to rezone one half of an existing
commercial building from C-3 with conditions to R-3 Multi-family residential, and
convert the back half of the currently vacant building to three apartments. The building
was formerly Gomer's bar and has been used for several commercial enterprises since
the bar closed. The subject property was rezoned in 1996 to C-3 with conditions. The
rezoning permitted all C-2 uses with indoor amusement, which is a permitted use in a
C-3 district. The hill area has slowly evolved from a college night spot with four bars,
to a less intense retail area with two bars, restaurants, and several retail shops. The
surrounding single and multi-family residential properties have been stable for many
years.
The parking credit associated with the past retail uses satisfies the parking demand
generated by the proposed residential use. While it is typical to rezone an entire lot,
portions of lots have been rezoned in the past.

The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
City of Dubuque
City Hall - 50 W. 13th Street
Dubuque, IA 52001
RE: Rezoning
Applicant: Nick and Jane Hancock
Location: 1105 University Avenue
Description: To rezone property from C-3 General Commercial District, with conditions, to R-3
Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential District to allow conversion of a
portion of the building to a 4-plex and continue use of storefront for retail
operation.
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, noting that only the rear portion of the building
is being requested for rezoning to R-3 Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential District. Staff
reviewed the surrounding land use. Staff indicated that it is possible to rezone only a portion
of a lot or building, and that there will be separate entrances for the building's commercial and
residential portions. There were no public comments.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request noting that the requested rezoning
does represent a decrease in the intensity for the subject property.
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,
~~m~
Eugene Bird, Jr., Chairperson
Zoning Advisory Commission
