Applicant: Mary Lynn Neumeister
Location: 3674 Crescent Ridge
Description: To rezone property from R-1 Single -Family Residential to C-3 General
Commercial zoning 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, reviewing the existing uses around property
to be rezoned, and the existing topography and trees of the site. The applicant noted
that they have been approached in the past regarding selling the property for
commercial use.
Staff reviewed the staff report, noting the surrounding zoning, land use, and access to
the site. Staff reviewed that the property was within the U.S. Highway 20 Corridor
Preservation Zone, and that the request has been forwarded to the IDOT for their
review.
There were no public comments. A letter in opposition was received and filed.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, and asked for clarification of
the Corridor Preservation Zone requirements.
Recommendation
By a vote of 3 to 1, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council
deny the request, due to the request not receiving the four concurring votes necessary
to approve.
A simple majority vote is needed for the City Council to deny the request. A super
majority vote is needed for the City Council to approve the request.

Total Area: 2 acres
Property History: This property was part of Mineral Lot 289 and is located along
Crescent Ridge that was at the time U.S. Highway 20. The roadway was subsequently
reconfigured and Highway 20/Dodge Street was relocated north of the subject property.
The property was purchased by the Neumeisters and a new single-family home built
here in conjunction with the veterinary clinic across the street in 1961. The property
has remained as a single-family residence; however, commercial uses have developed
on the south and west sides of the subject lot.
Physical Characteristics: The subject property is an approximately two -acre lot with 170
feet of frontage along Crescent Ridge. The property slopes from the high point along
Crescent Ridge approximately 32 feet to the rear of the lot. The property is bordered
on three sides by an unbroken row of large evergreen trees.
Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The comprehensive Plan encourages
mixed use areas but also recommends that incompatible uses be buffered from each
other. The future Land Use Map calls for this area to remain single-family residential.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: Existing utilities are adequate to serve the site.
Traffic Patterns/Counts: There are no IDOT average daily traffic counts for
Crescent Ridge Road. At the intersection of Crescent Ridge and Dodge Street
Rezoning Staff Report e 3674 Crescent Ridge Page 2
IDOT counts indicate approximately 8,000 vehicle trips per day. However, the
IDOT has proposed reconfiguring this intersection in the near future adding
frontage roads to improve traffic flow. This may affect both the subject property
and the surrounding property's access. Commercial development at this location
should have limited impact in the overall amount of traffic generated by the
commercial activity in 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 adequate erosion control and storm water control is provided during all
phases of development.
Adjacent Properties: The subject parcel is bordered on three sides by commercial
and office development. However, it is also directly adjacent to residential
development along Crescent Ridge. Rezoning this parcel will move the
commercial activity further into the existing single-family neighborhood. There is
currently a robust evergreen buffer along the property's east side that, if left intact,
will screen the subject lot from the adjacent residential properties. Commercial
activity at this location may generate more traffic, noise and activity than the
existing residential development.
CIP Investments: None proposed.
Staff Analysis: The applicant is proposing to rezone an approximately two acre parcel
of property located directly adjacent to the intersection of Crescent Ridge and the Wal-
Mart/Lowe's access road and Dodge Street from R-1 Single-family Residential to C-3
General Commercial zoning district. The property currently accommodates an
approximately 3,500 square foot single-family home and out buildings and is bordered
on the west by Lowe's access road and parking lot, on the south by vacant commercial
property and a detention area. There is a veterinary clinic and small commercial
building north of the subject property and single-family residential development across
Crescent Ridge and to the east of the subject lot.
Rezoning this property will serve to move the commercial activity further into what is
currently a single-family neighborhood. The property is, however, screened with a
robust row of evergreen trees from the adjacent residential development to the east.
Reconfiguration this intersection will alter the current traffic patterns in the
neighborhood and should improve access to Dodge Street.
The subject property is located within the IDOT Corridor Preservation Zone (CPZ) for
U.S. Highway 20. The CPZ allows the IDOT 30 days to review any proposed rezoning
request to determine if there will be any impacts to future improvements for the highway
project. As of April 30, 2014, Planning Services staff has not received a reply from the
Rezoning Staff Report — 3674 Crescent Ridge Page 3
IDOT regarding the proposed rezoning of the subject property. Attached is the current
preliminary design for improvements to the U.S. 20 corridor.
Staff recommends the Commission review Article 9-5 of the Unified Development Code
regarding reclassification of property.
