REZONING STAFF REPORT
Zoning Agenda: December 7, 2005
Property Address: 468 E. 1ih St.
Property Owner: Edward G. Brown
Applicant: City of Dubuque
Proposed Land Use: Modified Heavy Industrial
Proposed Zoning: MHI
Existing Zoning: HI
Existing Land Use: Commercialllndustrial
Adjacent Land Use: North - Industrial
East - Vacantlright-of-way
South - Vacantlright-of-way
West - Industrial
Adjacent Zoning: North - MHI
East - HI
South - HI
West-HI
Former Zoning:
1934 -HI; 1975 - HI; 1985 - HI
Total Area: 25,600 sq. ft.
Property History: Records indicate that the original property owner, Davis Coal
Company, erected a coal storage facility on the lot in 1932. The property was
subsequently acquired by CMC Railroad and then transferred to the Sioux Line
Railroad. The current owner, Mr. Edward Brown, purchased the property in May of
1991. Mr. Brown obtained a building permit to expand an existing storage building on
the premises in November 1991.
In February 1990, the City of Dubuque adopted a Freeway Corridor Plan that included
the subject property. The Freeway Corridor Plan, by City Ordinance, is a component of
the Comprehensive Plan.
In May of 1990 City Departments were directed by the City Manager's Office to develop
an implementation strategy for the Freeway Corridor Plan. One of these
recommendations was to create the Modified Heavy Industrial district (MHI).
The Freeway Corridor Plan's implementation strategy approved by the City Council
directed the Planning Services Department to undertake a series of rezonings in the
corridor. Several ofthe rezonings recommended by the Freeway Corridor Plan were
approved by the City Council.
However, on December 6, 1993, the City Council denied the plan recommendations for
rezoning the subject property from HI Heavy Industrial to MHI Modified Heavy Industrial
District. The subject property was included in a rezoning proposal for a larger target
area that included Jeld-Wen Manufacturing, Eagle Window and Door and Quick Lube.
Representatives of Jeld-Wen Manufacturing, Eagle Window and Door and Quik Lube
spoke in opposition to the rezoning. Their concerns at that time were that all or a
Rezoning Staff Report - 468 E. 1 ih St.
Page 2
portion of their existing operations could be considered non-conforming uses in a MHI
district.
This current rezoning request, in furtherance of the Freeway Corridor Plan, does not
include Jeld-Wen Manufacturing, the former Eagle Window and Door site or Quick
Lube. It also does not include the property owned by Mr. Brown on the west side of the
railroad tracks that is licensed for Brownie's Auto Salvage.
Physical Characteristics: The subject ~roperty is a level, 25,600 square foot lot with
100 feet of frontage along 11 th and 1 i Streets and 250 feet of adjacency with the ICE
Railroad right-of-way.
Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan proposes light
industrial land use for this property. The Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan
states, "To define and enhance city gateways and focal points to create a sense of
place, and to buffer and protect incompatible uses from each other, to protect natural
vistas from the clutter of inappropriate physical development, and to encourage
expansion of urban green spaces in suitable locations." The Freeway Corridor Plan
component of the Comprehensive Plan recommends rezoning the subject property from
HI Heavy Industrial to MHI Modified Heavy Industrial. The Plan goals state to ensure
high standards of site design, to add landscaping to add interest and beauty to this
gateway and to relocate existing junkyards.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: Existing utilities are adequate to serve the site.
Traffic Patterns/Counts: The down zoning of this property should have little impact
on traffic.
Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the site.
Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impact to the environment
provided adequate erosion control and storm water control is provided during all
phases of development.
Adjacent Properties: The surrounding properties are either undeveloped public
right-of-way or are currently zoned HI Heavy Industrial or MHI Modified Heavy
Industrial. Therefore, rezoning this property for less intense uses should have very
limited impact on the adjacent properties.
CIP Investments: None proposed.
Rezoning Staff Report - 468 E. 1ih St.
Page 3
Staff Analysis: The City of Dubuque is proposing to rezone an approximately 25,600
square foot parcel of property located at 468 E. 1ih Street from HI Heavy Industrial
District to MHI Modified Heavy Industrial District. The City is implementing a
component of the land use recommendations outlined in the adopted Freeway Corridor
Plan. The Freeway Corridor Plan recommended rezoning the subject property to MHI
Modified Heavy Industrial district. The Plan's intent is to ensure that several of the most
intense uses permitted in the HI District be eliminated because of their potential visual
impact on property that lies along the U.S. Highway 61/151 corridor. The property is
located in a gateway to the community and is visible from the Freeway.
The adjacent property to the north has been rezoned to Modified Heavy Industrial as
per the Plan's recommendations. Therefore, this rezoning request represents an
expansion of the MHI district. All other surrounding property is currently zoned Heavy
I nd ustrial.
Staff recommends the Commission review the criteria established in Section 6-1.1
regarding zoning reclassification.

SUBJECT: Rezoning of property at 468 E. 1 ih Street (ParceIID# 10-24-444-001)
Dear Mr. Brown:
In an effort to fulfill the recommendations outlined in the Freeway Corridor Plan, adopted by
the City Council in 1990, the City has submitted an application to rezone the property you
own at 468 E. 11th Street (ParceIID#10-24-444-001) from HI Heavy Industrial district to
MHI Modified Heavy Industrial district.
I have included the regulations for both HI and MHI districts. There are 60 uses permitted
in a HI district and 53 uses permitted in a MHI district. Slaughter houses/stock yards,
manufacturing and processing of the following materials: acid; lime or lime products; coke;
coal tar; creosote; celluloid or cellulose products; detergent and ammonia or chlorine,
sanitary landfills, sewage treatment plants, crematoriums; reduction plants; foundries,
forges or smelters, junk yards/salvage yards and grain/barge terminals are uses permitted
in a HI district that have been eliminated from the list of permitted uses in a MHI district.
The City's rezoning request will be heard at the December 7, 2005 Zoning Advisory
Commission meeting and a recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for their
December 19, 2005 meeting. You will be provided a copy of the agenda and staff report
prior to the December 7th Zoning Advisory Commission meeting. As with all rezoning
requests, building permits will not be issued for your property until the rezoning process
has been completed.
If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact me at 589-4210.
Sincerely,
.~~
