Zoning Advisory Commission
RE: Dubuque Yacht Basin, Inc.
Dear Chairman Bird and Commission Members Schiltz, Christ, Hardie, Nagle, Smith and Stiles:
Our office represents Dubuque Yacht Basin, Inc. Donald P. Shanley is its President.
.
Dubuque Yacht Basin, Inc. leases what is commonly known as Bissell and Schmitt Harbors
at the waterfront on 16th Street. Bissell Harbor has been leased since 1970 from the City of Dubuque
and is renewable on five-year terms through the year 2020. The Schmitt Harbor Lease dates back to
1974 and goes through the year 2024. Dubuque Yacht Basin, Inc. leases an additional area from the
City under a Lease dated October 9, 1987.
Through the cooperation with the City Zoning Staff, all three Leases were recently amended
by Resolutions passed by the City Council on April 17, 2000, and recorded at the Dubuque County
Recorder's office on June 27,2000.
City staff has initiated this request because these Amendments apparently extend Dubuque
Yacht Basin's operations into a heavy industrial zone (H - I), and it is necessary that the Dubuque Yacht
Basin's leased area be rezoned Commercial Recreational (C-R).
Please contact the undersigned if you have any questIons. The three Resolutions and Lease
Amendments are attached hereto for your information.

REZONING 5T AFF REPORT
Zoning Agenda: November 1, 2000
. Property Address: 1630 E. 16th St.
Property Owner:
Dubuque Yacht Basin, Inc.
Applicant:
Arthur F. Gilloon
Proposed land Use: Recreation
Proposed Zoning: CR
Existing land Use: Recreation
Existing Zoning: HI
Adjacent land Use: North - Recreation
East - Recreation

Former Zoning:

.
Property History: The subject property has been used as part of the Dubuque
Yacht Basin for many years as a marina for the storage, docking and servicing of
pleasure craft.
Physical Characteristics: The subject property is the water area of the Bissell and
Schmitt Harbors which is included as part of the lease between the City of Dubuque
and the Dubuque Yacht Basin, Inc.
Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The 1995 Comprehensive Plan did not
designate this area.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: Existing utilities are adequate to serve the site.
Traffic Patterns/Counts: Because the property involved is a water area included
within the Bissell and Schmitt Harbors, there are no vehicle counts available.
Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the site.
Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impact to the environment as
the area has been used as a marina for many years.
.
Adjacent Properties: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impacts to adjacent
industrial and recreational properties as the subject area has been used as a
marina for many years.

REZONING STAFF REPORT
Page 2
CIP Investments: None proposed.
Staff Analysis: The requested rezoning was implemented as part of lease
negotiations between the City of Dubuque and the Dubuque Yacht Basin. The subject
area has been used for docking of pleasure craft, and is included in the lease
boundaries for the Dubuque Yacht Basin. The existing zoning is HI Heavy Industrial
and the docking and servicing of pleasure boats is not a permitted use in the Heavy
Industrial district. The requested rezoning would rezone the water surface to
commercial recreation which does permit pleasure craft harbors as a permitted use.
Staff recommends the Zoning Advisory Commission review Section 6-1.1 of the Zoning
Ordinance that establishes criteria for reviewing rezoning requests.

RE: Rezoning
Applicant: Dubuque Yacht Basin, Inc./ Art Gilloon
Location: Dubuque Yacht Basin, Bissell Harbor, Schmitt Harbor
Description: To rezone property from HI Heavy Industrial District to CR Commercial
Recreation 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, noting that this issue arose during lease
negotiations. Staff reviewed the rezoning boundaries relative to the existing land use
facilities and boat slips. There were no public comments.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, noting that the request will
address an inconsistency between zoning and land use along the riverfront.
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. ()
