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
Assistant Economic Development Director Aaron DeJong spoke in favor of the request,
reviewing the proposed changes to the conceptual plan for the District and the process to locate
the Intermodal Center.
Staff reviewed the staff report, noting the proposed changes are significant enough to warrant
an amendment, that the Intermodal Center will serve rail, bus, bicycle, and pedestrians, and is
located in an area accessible to downtown, Washington Street neighborhood and the Port of
Dubuque.
There was one public comment in support of the changes.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, and noted that while they agree with
the changes, they regret the loss of open space.
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,

INTRODUCTION
This memorandum outlines a proposed amendment to the Historic Millwork District PUD
Ordinance that established zoning and development regulations for the Historic Millwork
District. The proposed amendment addresses the location of the Dubuque Intermodal
Transportation Center and a transitional surface parking lot on the PUD Conceptual
Development Plan.
BACKGROUND
The Historic Millwork District Master Plan adopted by the City Council in 2009 was
intended to foster opportunities for retention of existing businesses as well as a
recruitment and expansion of new businesses into the substantial floor space that the
existing large warehouses in this district offered. The highlights of the Master Plan
included the conversion of over 1 million square feet of vacant and/or underutilized
space into a live, work, play community.
The redevelopment of the Historic Millwork District is consistent with and had been
aided by the creation of Sustainable Dubuque (www.sustainabledubuque.org) focusing
on environmental /ecological integrity, economic prosperity and social /cultural vibrancy
to create a viable, equitable, and livable community.
The existing industrial uses and the growing adaptive re -use of these warehouses into a
mix of office, commercial and entertainment and residential uses are supported by the
Master Plan's unique qualities of melding market opportunities, sustainable design,
historic preservation, and sound planning principles.
The redevelopment of the Historic Millwork District is well underway with the
reconstruction and update to City streets and utilities. The redevelopment of the
Caradaco building is also progressing that will, when finished, include 72 dwelling units
and 50,000 square feet of leasable commercial space.
Memo to Zoning Advisory Commission
Historic Millwork District PUD Amendment
Page 2
DISCUSSION
The proposed amendment to the Historic Millwork District PUD is a result of the
planning effort to establish a location for an intermodal facility to support transit
connections, passenger rail connections, vehicular parking, electric vehicle charging,
bicycle parking, intercity bus passenger waiting area, taxicab stands, public restrooms
and a ticketing office. The proposed facility will also have potential for retail space, a
daycare facility, commercial office space and possibly lockers and showers /changing
areas as part of the restrooms.
The amendment to the Conceptual Plan for the Historic Millwork District PUD is
necessary as the preferred location for the intermodal facility is located in an area that
was originally identified as the location of the Landform Park. Landform Park is the
working name and the official name will be selected by the City Council at the time the
park is created. This area is north of 9th street, south of 11th Street and east of Elm
Street. While this is still intended to be a public park in the area, the scale will be
different and any name would be determinate at a later time.
Presently, the City does not have a centralized transportation hub and lacks many
interconnectivity capabilities between air, rail, bus, vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian
facilities. The Dubuque Intermodal Transportation Center will address these problems
and is proposed to be strategically located in the Historic Millwork District near
Dubuque's Historic Downtown and the Port of Dubuque. The Dubuque Intermodal
Transportation Center compliments and leverages the Complete Streets of Dubuque's
urban core, promotes greater use of public transportation, and will provide for a more
livable and sustainable community.
The other proposed change to the adopted Conceptual Plan for the Historic Millwork
District PUD is the location of a transitional surface parking lot in the area identified as
Foundry Square on the Master Plan. Foundry Square is to be located west of Elm
Street between 9th and 10th Streets. The proposed 80 -car surface lot to the east of the
Foundry building would be removed as some point in the future to create Foundry
Square, a public plaza.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff recommends that the Zoning Advisory Commission review the proposed
amendment to the Historic Millwork District PUD Conceptual Development Plan and
then make a recommendation to the City Council.

10th Street: Renovated warehouse buildings will animate and define a key
pedestrian connection to Downtown. Tenth Street will be a unique urban space,
with reused bricks, portals to courtyards, and adapted loading docks.
Jackson Street: Partial reconstruction will include upgrades to utilities and
conditions but will enable Jackson Street to retain its inherent character. Existing
rail tracks, brick pavers, and other unique features will remain in place where
appropriate.
Green Streets: New and reconstructed streets will irrigate landscape by collecting
stormwater. On- street convenience parking, well- marked crosswalks, and ample
space for amenities such as public art, seating, and lighting will contribute to the
pedestrian and environmentally friendly streetscape.
Foundry Square: The Alamo Building and new plaza is a lively, year -round focal
point and gathering space in the heart of the District.
Landform Park: Stormwater management, recreation, artistic features, and
geothermal opportunities are some of the features Landform Park will offer.
Kirby /Farley Plaza: The plaza pair will define a key address for new commercial
and office tenants and will be a significant public space along the 7th Street
connection between Downtown, the District, and the Port.

Next Steps
• Work with property owners to assemble
a Phase One Historic Tax Credit
Application for approximately 200 rental
units and 100,000 square feet of non-
commercial space.
• Develop a detailed streetscape plan and
plaza design.
• Pursue full funding for public
infrastructure.
• Work with regional and national partners
to develop a comprehensive District
Energy Plan.
• Build a small parking deck adjacent to
the Alamo Building.
• Work with IDOT to begin the process
of rerouting Elm Street.
Executive Summary -4
6. Phase I: Central Area
The Plan (continued)
The Alamo Building, Foundry Square
& Landform Park
The Plan recommends creating a significant public open
space in the middle of the District. The space has two
separate but related parts: 1) a plaza (Foundry Square)
and a 2) stormwater feature (Landform Park). These
will be built in two phases.
Foundry Square is a year -round gathering space defined
by the historic Caradco buildings on two edges, the
restored Alamo Building in the middle, and by the plaza
design throughout. The plaza sets the District standard
and tone by highlighting and showcasing the arts and
sustainable technologies and techniques. Active edges
animate the plaza and occupy both the ground floor and
upper levels of surrounding structures.
The Alamo Building is a landmark building in the plaza.
It should be renovated as a flexible space for lease to
retailers, restaurateurs, or as a gallery space, with open
circulation similar to a market structure.
The south edge of the Foundry Square is defined by a
two -level parking structure. The parking structure has a
well designed north edge, such as an art wall, for better
integration with the plaza.
The bosque of trees on the east edge of Foundry Square
provides shade, defines the plaza, and offers a variety of
spatial experiences. The bosque can improve infiltration
and increase permeability. In addition, maintaining
portions of existing buildings on site creates a structured
corner to the bosque and plaza.
Over time, the District's central open space can be
expanded to include a green space on the east edge
of the District. By realigning Elm Street, land can
be reclaimed and used for redevelopment and public
amenity. As the topographic low point in the District,
this area is ideal for a stormwater feature /landform park
(using the excavated fill from the parking structure).
Like the plaza, Landform Park showcases both the arts
and sustainable techniques and technologies, possibly
serving as a sculpture park, geothermal field, a structured
wetland, or space for a blackwater or graywater
treatment plant known as a living machine.

INTRODUCTION
This memo is to provide information for the City Council prior to the work session
scheduled for December 5 on the Intermodal Center.
BACKGROUND
Neumann Monson Architects was hired in June 2011 to conduct preliminary design for
the Intermodal facility in the Historic Millwork District.
The vision for the facility is that it will support transit connections, rail connections,
vehicular parking, electric vehicle charging, bicycle parking, intercity bus, a passenger
waiting area, taxicab stands, public restrooms and a ticketing office. There is the
potential for retail space, a daycare facility, commercial office space and possibly
lockers and showers /changing areas as part of the restrooms.
Dubuque was recently awarded a State of Good Repair Grant from the U.S. DOT to
build certain components of the Intermodal facility. The awarded components are
• Transit Hub (Local and Inter -City buses)
• Passenger Rail Platform
• Funding for parking (first phase is 250 spaces)
The State of Good Repair Grant award from the FTA is $8,000,000 which represents
70% of a $11,428,000 project. The local match is figured to be $3,428,000.
DISCUSSION
On August 31, 2011, several public input meetings were conducted to get input about
the needs of the Intermodal Facility, and what was important from a design perspective
to encourage a successful development of an intermodal facility in the Millwork District.
Based on input from the Public and the FTA, the design quickly moved to creating
several buildings as opposed to one large facility.
The consultants were back in Dubuque on Monday, October 24, to meet with Millwork
Property Owners and City Staff to review the several site options.
The preferred site option is attached to this memorandum. Reasons for this site plan
being the most desirable by adjoining property owners and City staff are as follows:
• Parking is close to the Millwork Buildings
• Terminal building defines the view corridor down 10th Street (the main pedestrian
street to downtown)
• Additional parking potential near the Terminal building
• Bus facility is close to Terminal
• Relocation of Elm Street is avoided
The 80 car surface lot to the east of the Foundry Building would be removed at some
point in the future to create the open public space identified in the Millwork District
Master Plan. It should be noted there are still unknowns with this project. There are
additional environmental tests, soil borings, zoning and historic clearance questions that
must be answered. In addition, part of the site is owned by the Iowa DOT. City Staff
has already begun the discussions with the Iowa DOT to acquire the needed property
for his proposed Intermodal Center.
ACTION STEP
This memorandum, and the attachments, are for informational purposes. The intent of
the work session is to update the City Council on the Intermodal Center Project, answer
any questions they may have related to the project and to seek their input prior to final
design.
