There are other Auto Repair Shops already in the Millwork District. DLTV LLC. And Toys Done Right Body Shop has already been in Dubuque for 5 years, and we have shown, we will keep our property in clean nice condition, so it will not take away from the Millwork look. As the Millwork District grows, there will be more vehicles in the area that will need repairs. There are no other buildings, close to our location now for the business to grow, with garage space. With the extra space, we would hope our business would come close to the million dollar mark, which would mean more tax money for the city.

Shortly thereafter, a single - family residence and a two - family residence were built on the two abutting lots. The properties remained residential until 1986 when they were razed and replaced with a metal contractor's shop and associated parking. The property continues to be a vacant contractor's shop. Physical Characteristics: The two lots are level and total approximately 5,000 square feet of lot area, with 50 feet of frontage along White Street and 50 feet of frontage along an alley at the rear of the property, and accommodate an approximately 1,700 square foot single -story contractor's building. Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The 2030 Future Land Use Map indicates this area as commercial. Comprehensive Plan Goals encourage mixed -use, compatible infili development. The subject property also lies within the boundaries of the 2009 Historic Millwork District Master Plan. Impact of Request on: Utilities: Existing utilities are adequate to serve the site. Traffic Patterns /Counts: The IDOT 2009 annual average daily traffic counts indicate 6,400 vehicle trips per day northbound along White Street (one -way at this location) just south of the subject property. Redevelopment of this site as auto Rezoning Staff Report — 1048 & 1060 White Street Page 2 repair shop should have very limited impact on overall traffic counts for this neighborhood. Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the property. Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impact to the environment provided that erosion control and storm water management is provided during any redevelopment, including provision of paved parking. Adjacent Properties: Because this is a mixed -use area with fairly heavy vehicular traffic, and the adjacent residential development is separated by the 64 -foot White Street right -of -way, conversion of this contractor's shop to an auto repair shop should have very limited additional impact on the neighborhood. CIP Investments: None proposed. Staff Analysis: The applicant is proposing to rezone two lots located in the Historic Millwork District PUD Planned Unit Development form its PC Planned Commercial designation to C -4 Downtown Commercial District . The applicant's intent is to re -use the existing contractor's shop as an auto repair shop and the adjacent vacant lot as a parking area. The property is currently a level 5,000 square foot lot with 50 feet of frontage along both White Street and the alley behind, that accommodates a 1,700 square foot vacant metal contractor's building. The property is located across an alley from the Spahn & Rose Lumber warehouse, just south of an auto lubrication center, north of a commercial building and furrier and across the street from single and multi- family housing and a parking lot. The subject lots were rezoned in 2010 from C -4 Downtown Commercial district to the Historic Millwork District PUD. At that time, vehicle - related uses were removed as either permitted or conditional uses in the Millwork PUD. This property is located in Phase 1 of the Central Area of the Historic Millwork District Master Plan adopted by the City Council in February 2009. The Master Plan recommends relocation or purchase of the existing businesses in this area that are not conducive to mixed -use pedestrian oriented urban redevelopment and improvement and construction of new buildings that fulfill this requirement. The Master Plan also calls for improvements to existing streets with new utilities and streetscaping. If rezoned to C -4, the applicant will still need to apply for a conditional use permit to allow vehicle sales or service. This will require Zoning Board of Adjustment review and approval, notification of all property owners within 200 feet, and would permit the Board to add conditions such as screening, paving, and landscaping in an effort to mitigate the impacts an auto repair shop may create. Conditional uses that are currently allowed in the Historic Millwork District PUD include drive -in and carry-out restaurants, vehicle rental, construction supplies, sales and Rezoning Staff Report — 1048 & 1060 White Street Page 3 service, contractor shop or yard, wholesale distributors, agricultural supply sales, lumber yard /building materials, freight transfer facility, millworking, and light manufacturing. During development of the permitted and conditional uses for the Millwork PUD, auto sales, service, repair and body shop uses were eliminated from the PUD. The Millwork PUD has specific regulations for signs, parking, site lighting, open space, stormwater management, exterior trash collection areas, and exterior storage. In addition, the Downtown Design Guidelines apply to site development in the Millwork PUD, including standards for new construction, parking and signs. The Historic Millwork District PUD ordinance and conceptual development plan are enclosed for reference. The Commission may wish to consider conditions for rezoning due to the subject property's location in the Millwork PUD. Planning staff recommends that the Commission review Article 9 -5 of the Unified Development Code regarding the criteria for granting a zoning reclassification.
