The last page of the plan is the Future Land Use Plan Map for the City of Peosta. There is a slight overlap at the eastern edge of the City of Peosta's planning area, and the western edge of the City of Dubuque's planning area. Enclosed is a map that shows the overlap in planning areas. Single family residential is the proposed land use on both plans in the overlap area. The Long Range Planning Advisory Commission would like the City of Peosta's 2005 Land Use Plan depicted on the City of Dubuque's draft 2030 Future Land Use Map for the land uses shown outside the Peosta corporate limits. The Commission plans to continue to take public input on the draft 2030 Future Land Use Map, and then provide updated maps to the City Council for review as revisions are proposed.

This plan focused on the land use within the existing city boundaries at that time. With the assistance of ECIA, The City adopted the Peosta Communitv Builder Plan 1991, and revised that plan as The Peosta Communitv Builder Plan 1996. Also with the assistance of ECIA, the City adopted the Peosta Hazard Mitioation Plan in 2002. The City last codified the Peosta Code of Ordinances in 2003 with the assistance of ECIA. The Subdivisions Regulations contained in the Code of Ordinances were originally adopted in 1985, and includes two-mile extraterritorial review authority. Also included in the City Code are Restricted Residence District Regulations. The community does not have zoning. Peosta experienced tremendous population growth in the 1990's and the City continues to grow today. Due to this accelerating rate of growth within the community and also in the surrounding unincorporated area, the City has initiated the development of this document, The Peosta Land Use Plan 2005. The Peosta City Council was the main municipal body involved in the development of The Land Use Plan. The Council reviewed the 1983 Comprehensive (Urban Renewal) Plan including the goals and policies. The current land use within the City was also reviewed, along with the land use and zoning in the surrounding unincorporated area of Dubuque County. The draft goals and policies, as well as the draft future land use map were presented to the public for review and comment. The new Land Use Plan includes a revised Future Land Use Map, and revised Planning Goals, Objectives and Policies. By combining the 2005 City of Peosta Land Use Plan with the City's 1996 Community Builder Plan (which does not contain a land use element), the 2002 Hazard Mitigation Plan, and other community studies, reports and data, Peosta is providing a Comprehensive Plan. These combined documents (or planning elements) shall act as the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Peosta, and used as the official guidelines in making decisions and recommendations for community development. It is very important that the goals and intent of these documents continue to represent the community's ideals for the future. Therefore, periodic review and amendment are necessary to keep Peosta on a course of advancing the quality of life for the community. - 1 - PEOSTA LAND USE PLAN 2005 LAND USE PLAN A. PEOSTA PLANNING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The Peosta Land Use Plan shall be followed by city officials, developers, landowners, and residents as the official guidelines for making decisions and recommendations related to community development. The Land Use Plan is based on the following Planning Goals and Objectives that were developed in public work sessions with the Peosta City Council and presented to the public for review, comment, and modification. The Plan may be amended as the development needs of the community change. Goals are broad statements of purpose that express a desired end result. Objectives indicate a course of action needed to attain an established goal. Policies are specific actions developed to accomplish the objectives. Within this plan, the objectives and policies have been combined into Policy Recommendations that will help implement the goals. As the city grows, officials may need to develop other specific policies based on further study of community problems or needs in order to continue to attain the goals. Goals: . Review and update the Land Use Plan for Peosta on a frequent basis. . Provide for public health, safety, and welfare by insuring the orderly extension of utilities, streets, and sidewalks. . Develop a pattem of land uses that protect and enhance the value of property and the enjoyment of its use while at the same time recognizing the intrinsic land suitability. . Provide for a variety of housing types, costs, and locations. . Encourage further development of the existing business community by providing the opportunity for expansion and new commercial uses, while at the same time discouraging proliferation of scattered commercial development throughout the residential community. . Provide suitable land for industrial development located convenient to utilities and transportation facilities, and buffered from incompatible adjacent uses. . Minimize the points of conflict between the various modes of transportation such as automobiles and trains, automobiles and pedestrians, trucks and automobiles. . Cooperate with other agencies and groups to maintain and improve the quality of area development. - 2- PEOSTA LANO USE PLAN 2005 Objectives: Planninq Policv Recommendations . To encourage public officials to adopt and implement a Land Use Plan, and to review and update every two to five years. . To seek public input and encourage public cooperation in the development and implementation of a Land Use Plan. . To encourage cooperative effort between the City, Dubuque County, and any other groups or agencies involved with the planning, administration, or enforcement of plans, codes, ordinances, regulations, etc., that are in effect in the area. Residential Development Policv Recommendations . To maintain the existing sound housing units and to upgrade or replace any substandard housing units in the area. . To continue to provide and improve the adequacy of community facilities and essential services such as schools, parks, fire and police protection, water, sewer, and refuse collection. . To promote the planning, design, and construction of a wider range of housing unit types in adequate supply for all income levels and age groups. . To insure that all new housing development is protected from potential flood hazard. . To discourage scattered residential development in the unincorporated urban fringe area, and to guide new development into a compact and compatible growth pattern adjacent to the incorporated area and within easily serviceable watersheds. Commercial Development Policv Recommendations . To encourage the retention and expansion of the downtown area. . To encourage the planning and construction of clustered commercial developments along major traffic routes, thereby curtailing sprawling strip commercial development. . To encourage business uses to locate only in areas which can be easily and economically served by utilities and streets. -3- PEOSTA LAND USE PLAN 2005 Industrial Development Policv Recommendations . To encourage industry to develop only in existing or planned industrial parks which are attractively designed with efficient and adequate facilities, service roads, and other necessary supporting facilities. . To encourage the diversification of area industries in order to promote economic stability. . To maintain a reserve of available and easily serviceable industrial land to produce a flexible and competitive market, allowing for a variety of industrial sites. . To work with existing and/or new industry in order to minimize pollution and noxious effects of heavy industrial development. Natural Resource Development Policv Recommendations . To encourage those development practices that will maintain and improve the air and water quality in the area. . To encourage compact new developments in the unincorporated urban fringe area that do not needlessly consume excessive amounts of land, but instead contribute to the efficient extension of municipal infrastructure. . To protect the natural floodplains of streams and rivers throughout the area from further encroachment by urban development and preserve as open space. Transportation Development Policv Recommendations . To provide a safe, pleasant, and efficient network of streets, sidewalks, and trail systems through the maintenance of existing facilities and the optimum location of new transportation systems. . To discourage "through" traffic, especially trucks, from using residential streets. . To plan and develop a more efficient traffic circulation system which recognizes major community facilities and industrial areas, the railroad, and future planned development areas. - 4- PEOSTA LAND USE PLAN 2005 Facilities and Utilities Development Policy Recommendations . To provide public sewer and water at public expense only to areas which are easily and economically served and to recover the public expense as development occurs. . To plan and construct all future sewer and water systems in outlying urban fringe areas in such a manner as to permit the consolidation of future systems by drainage basin and water distribution systems. . To encourage the abatement of ground water pollution, by insuring that subdivision developments outside sewered areas have shared sewer and water systems which could be easily connected to public sewer and water at such time as it is available. -5- PEOSTA LAND USE PLAN 2005 B. COMMUNITY PROFILE The Community Profile for Peosta, Iowa, includes information on population, income, education, employment, and housing. The data displayed in Figure 1 and the various Tables that follow are from the U.S. Census Bureau. The 2000 census year is the primary year included in the Community Profile, with selected items included from the 1990 Census for comparison purposes. Population Peosta was incorporated as a city in 1933. The city's population grew very little between 1940 and 1970 (see Figure 1 below). Between 1970 and 1990 the population increased by 78 persons (136.8%). The City's population increased by 516 persons between 1990 and 2000, a dramatic 382.2% increase. Peosta's 2000 Census population is 651. Figure 1 CITYOFPEOSTA POPULATION 1940 - 2000 700 , / / / / 45 60 50 57 )135 120 651 .600 SOO c: 0 400 "" II :; 300 c. 0 a.. 200 100 0 1940 1950 1960 1970 Year 1980 1990 2000 Source: U.S. Census Bureau The City is located within Vernon Township. The rural (unincorporated) population of the township has also increased. Between 1970 and 1990 Vernon Township's population increased from 719 to 1,014 persons (41 %). Between 1990 and 2000 the township's population increased from 1,014 to 1,178 persons (16.2%). In comparison, Dubuque County's total population decreased by 4,206 persons (- 4.6%) between 1970 and 1990, and increased by 2,740 persons (3.2%) by 2000. Dubuque County's total 2000 Census population is 89,143. -6- PEOSTA LAND USE PLAN 2005 Population Proiection A population projection for the City of Peosta. may be estimated based on the phenomenal growth rate of 382% that occurred over the ten year period between 1990 and 2000. If this rate were to be applied, the City would have an estimated population of 2,487 by 2010, 9,500 by 2020, and 36,290 by the year 2030. The continued application of this growth rate over a thirty year period is not realistic. A more realistic method to project Peosta's population is to base the projections on a percent of Dubuque County's population projections that were complied by Woods & Poole Economics, Inc. (2004). Woods and Poole provide county population projections, but not city projections. Using this method projects the City growing at a much slower rate. The City would have a population of 669 by 2010,694 by 2020, and 726 by the year 2030. This method may project a growth rate that is too small, because Peosta's current population is estimated to be near 800 persons by the city. Currently, the city of Peosta has 282 homes and 42 apartments according to city records. The Average Number of Persons per Household in Dubuque county provided by the 2000 Census is 2.51. When the total number of homes and apartments (324) is multiplied by the average number of persons per household (2.51), the current city population is estimated to be 813 persons. This is a greater estimated number for todav than was estimated for 2030 (776) by using a percentage of the County's Wood & Poole projection. The 813 persons estimated for today, which is based on the number of households, appears fairly accurate when compared to U.S. Census Bureau's annual Population Change for Incorporated Places. (For 2003, the most recent estimate, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated Peosta would have 788 persons.) The 813 persons estimated for today (2005) is a 24.9 % increase over the 2000 Census population of 651. If a 25% growth rate is applied to Peosta's population every five years, then the City would have a population of 1,016 by 2010, 1,588 by 2020, and 2,481 by the year 2030. This method may project the most accurate and realistic growth rate estimate for Peosta, but only time will tell. The City of Peosta is in a position to develop rapidly and capture part of the westward expansion from the greater Dubuque metropolitan area. -7 - PEOSTA LAND USE PLAN 2005 Table 1 - PEOSTA POPULATION PROFILE, displays various characteristics of the City's population primarily from the 2000 Census.

LAND USE AND ANNEXATION The current use of property makes up a community's existing land use, while the proposed use of property is considered a community's future land use. As a community grows over the years, the use of land can be expected to change in certain locations. Those areas that are most likely to change within a city are usually related to transportation corridors. As transportation routes change due to changes in capacity, or changes in the mode of transportation (e.g., the coming and going of railroads), the adjacent land uses are likely to change also. Another location where land uses will change over time is near a city's boundary, the Urban Fringe Area. Here, the changes in use will result from community growth pressures, and the land use changes will likely occur to farmland. The fringe area is where the majority of new community growth and expansion will occur. Providing a picture or map of the anticipated future growth areas and expected future land uses a community has selected for its preferred future growth pattems, will help guide development activities to produce that selected future. The Future Land Use Map for the City of Peosta is located near the end of this document and displays the community's preferred future growth patterns. Previous Annexations The land area of the City of Peosta was approximately 160 acres in 1980. Between 1980 and 1990 approximately 160 more acres were annexed to the southwest, west of Peosta Street between the railroad and Hwy 20. This area was the first phase of the Peosta Industrial Park, and increased the City's overall area to one half square mile. Through the 1990's, many separate areas were annexed to the City, increasing the city's overall area to 1.3 square miles by the year 2000. To the southwest, the industrial park expanded by approximately 150 acres in the early 1990's. Towards the northwest, two adjacent areas were annexed in the 1990's at separate times. The first area (Royal Oaks Subdivision) is located along the west side of Peosta Street and just north of the railroad. This area was annexed in the early 1990's and is mostly built up with homes today. The second area is directly west of the subdivision and was annexed in 1997. Both annexed areas combined contain approximately 140 acres. Directly east across Peosta Street from the Royal Oaks Subdivision is the Dougherty Farm that was annexed in 1997. This area contained approximately 80 acres plus a large portion of railroad right-of-way. Towards the southeast, approximately 90 acres were annexed in the mid-1990's that contains the Peosta Campus of the Northeast Iowa Community College. The campus was originally dedicated in the 1979. Other annexations occurred east of -13 - PEOSTA LAND USE PLAN 2005 the college in the late 1990's totaling approximately 70 acres. Two of the parcels in this group of annexations now contain the new Peosta Community Center and Elementary School. Since the beginning of the year 2000, there have been three significant annexations. Nearly 20 acres were added to the southeast corner of the industrial park; 40 acres were added to the very southeast corner of the City on the north side of Hwy. 20 and fronting Cox Spring Road. And finally, 170 acres were added to the City's north boundary along the eastside of Peosta Street known as Gingerbread Ridge. These recent additions bring the City's area to approximately 1.6 square miles today. ExistinQ Commercial, Industrial and Institutional Uses Peosta's early downtown commercial area was small in area and located near the railroad crossing with Peosta Street (Sundown Road/County Rd. Y21). A few other commercial or light industrial uses located in this general area through the 1960's and most remain there today. With the construction of U.S. 20 as a four-lane divided highway in the early 1970's, a new highway interchange was located at sundown Road/County Rd. Y21 just south of the City. Annexations towards the new interchange were about to begin. In 1979, The Northeast Iowa community College dedicated the Peosta Campus using the 90 acres located just northeast of the new Hwy. 20 interchange. The Campus was annexed to Peosta in the mid 1990's. In the 1980's, a new industrial park was started northwest of the new Hwy. 20 interchange. The industrial park contained a mixture of commercial uses (warehousing) and industrial uses (manufacturing). Today, the Peosta Industrial Park has grown westward, more that tripling its original size and has filled in a 330 acre area between HWY 20 and the Chicago Central & Pacific Railroad all west of Peosta Street (sundown Rd./County Rd. Y21). Newer commercial uses have also located along Peosta Street near the Hwy. 20 interchange. These uses include a convenience store with a gas station, hotel, and restaurant. Two new institutional uses have just been constructed east of the downtown area along the south side of Burds Road. These uses include a new Westem Dubuque Community School District Elementary School and a new and large Peosta Community Center. Both of these institutional uses are contiguous to the large community college campus. -14 - PEOSTA LAND USE PLAN 2005 Future Commercial. Industrial and Institutional Uses Within Peosta's current city boundaries, the majority of future commercial uses are expected to locate along Peosta Street between the Hwy. 20 interchange and Surds Road to the north. Another location within the existing City where a new commercial area is planned to be located is along the south side of Surds Road at the east City boundary. This commercial area is adjacent to the new Peosta Center. Just outside the existing City's east boundary along Surds Road are two parcels that will remain as commercial uses. Two new future industrial/heavy commercial areas are shown west of the City and also to the southeast of the existing City. To the west of the existing industrial park, approximately 400 acres have been indicated for expansion of the Peosta Industrial Park between the railroad and Hwy. 20. This area will have access to Hwy. 20 primarily from Dutch Lane Road. The second area is to the City's southeast, contains approximately 900 acres, and is indicated for industrial and/or heavy commercial development. This area is centered around the planned new Hwy. 20 interchange with Thunderhills Road. The vast majority of this area is located in a 2 Yz mile long strip on the south side of Hwy. 20. Access to this area will be provided from a planned interchange at Thunderhills Road, and the existing interchange at Sundown Road. Existinq Residential Uses Residential uses basically surrounded the location of the early downtown area, which was near the railroad crossing with Peosta Street. Newer residential development began to occur in the 1980's between Surds Road and the railroad, all east of Peosta Street. Housing development continued eastward in this area to the east City boundary. During the early 1990's new residential development also started west of Peosta Street north of the railroad. In more recent times, other new residential development has started near the north edge of the City on the east side of Peosta Street. Throughout the 1980's and 1990's there was also new housing developed in the rural unincorporated area east of the City. Here, two major residential developments were created that have provided approximately 300 residential parcels to date. Most of this housing is within 1 Yz mile of Peosta. -15 - PEDST A LAND USE PLAN 2005 Future Residential Uses Future residential development is expected to fill in the remaining area within the City to the north and east that is not designated for commercial or industrial growth. Future residential growth outside the City is expected to continue to occur in the quadrant northeast of the City. This quadrant contains the two large existing rural subdivisions which are expected to grow and become a part of the City on the future. This future residential growth area extends up to the southern and eastern boundaries of the City of Centralia and is expected to primarily include single-family homes. Discussions between Peosta and Centralia City Officials have taken place about the growth of Peosta up to and including Centralia. Officials of both cities believe this to be a likely and favorable outcome for the future as Peosta grows northward and will be able'to provide municipal utilities. The possibility of combing cities has not been agreed to at this time, but will be reviewed and studied based on future growth trends and utility extensions. AQricultural Land A significant portion of the area surrounding the City of Peosta is labeled as Agricultural Reserve for purposes of the Future Land Use Plan. Parts of this reserve area are expected to develop as some type of residential use in the future, while other parts are expected to develop as commercial or industrial uses. The City of Peosta feels it is important to indicate the Agricultural Reserve area on its Future land Use map so that potential future developers will realize that the City is concemed about what will be develop in the City's urban fringe, and will specifically review all development proposals within this area. As Peosta and its surrounding urban fringe area grows, the City will review and refine the Future Land Use Plan for these areas. D. TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM The reconstruction of U.S. Highway 20 to a four-lane divided highway in the early 1970's provided Peosta with a new highway interchange that also opened the door to new development opportunities. The location of the Peosta Community College Campus and the Peosta Industrial Park adjacent to this interchange were the first two such opportunities. Both of these facilities continue to expand today. The community is also continuing to grow with an increasing number of residential homes. These residential areas are both within the City and within the surrounding urban fringe. The development in the nearby urban fringe area is anticipated to become part of the City some day. -16 - PEOSTA LAND USE PLAN 2005 With this growth in mind, Peosta has designated locations of likely future roadway routes within and outside the City to help reduce future traffic congestion. These future collector street routes are designated as Proposed Roads on the Future Land Use Map and have been located on the map in their qenerallocation in advance of further developments. It is anticipated that new developments will incorporate these routes into their plans, and therefore greatly reduce the amount of future traffic congestion. As growth and development occur in the Peosta area, revisions of the proposed collector street locations may be necessary to better match the pattem of actual development in a manner that will not impede traffic flow now or in the future. Directly related to the City's future transportation system are the Iowa Department of Transportation reconstruction changes planned for the Highway 20 corridor between Peosta and the City of Dubuque. These changes are designed to improve traffic safety and flow through out the corridor. Three of the Highway 20 corridor improvements are located near Peosta and shown on the Future Land Use Map at the intersections of Cox Springs Road, Thunderhills Road, aAd Cottingham Rd. A new interchange is to be located at Thunderhills Road, while Cox Springs Road is to be closed at Hwy. 20 with access provided by new frontage roads from Thunderhills Road. Cottingham Road is also to be closed at Hwy. 20 with access provided by a new frontage road from a new interchange at Swiss Valley Road. All of these roadway changes near Peosta will greatly improve traffic safety by eliminating most of the Hwy. 20 cross traffic near the City, while improving traffic flow with the addition of the new interchange at Thunderhills Road. E. LAND USE PLAN IMPLEMENTATION AND UPDATE The Land Use Plan, and specifically the Future Land Use Map, is to be used as a guide for the future development of the community. When development is proposed, it should conform to the land uses designated on the Future Land Use Map. These designated land use areas are to guide the location and density of developments and subdivision proposals presented to the City, as well as the preparation of a capital improvements program. As a guide, the Future Land Use Map displays to developers, businesses, rural and urban residents, and City and County decision makers where the community envisions its future growth. This revision of Peosta's Land Use Plan has renewed discussions between City and County officials for the need to coordinate development proposals near the City, and work towards adopting a Fringe Area Development Agreement. Such agreements provide for a dialogue between both levels of govemment and methods to apply shared development regulations in the urban fringe area. Such agreements may also exist between nearby cities. Applying Fringe Area Development Agreements in the Peosta Urban Fringe Area will improve the development process and foster local government cooperation and coordination. -17 - PEOSTA LAND USE PLAN 2005 The Future Land Use Map and Land Use Plan are not static documents, but may be amended and changed. Upon changing conditions in the planning area, it may be necessary to modify the location or type of land use indicated on the map, or to change the plan's policies. Future opportunities may be proposed that do not agree with the adopted land use map, but would be beneficial to the area's economy. Such proposals should be viewed as possible amendments to the land use map, or policies (or both), and discussed in a public forum. It is important that the land use plan and land use map then be amended if necessary, so that these planning documents continue to work as an accurate guide to the community's future. F. FUTURE LAND USE PLAN MAP The preceding discussions about the existing and future land uses in the Peosta area have referred to the Future Land Use Map which is contained at the end of this section. The Future Land Use Map is provided as a visual guide for making land use decisions for development and subdivision approvals, as well as the preparation of a capital improvements program. As a guide, the map shows the location of the preferred land uses that the City of Peosta has agreed is best for the community's future. The areas displayed on the Future Land Use Map include the land within Peosta, and the land within the community's surrounding fringe area. -18 - PEOSTA LAND USE PLAN 2005 a.. <( ca :!: ~ z <( ~ 0 ...J " a..
