DEMOLITION STAFF REPORT Meeting Date: March 15, 2007
Property Address: 620 Iowa Street .
Property Owner: McDonald's, USA LLC
Applicant: James Hileman, Midwest Region Construction Manager
Project: To recommend approval of a demolition permit for the McDonald's
restaurant building.
Conservation District District: Downtown Neighborhood Conservation District
Landmark: No
Style: Modern
Funding: No
Date Built: 1972
Present Land Use: McDonald's Restaurant
Existing Zoning: C-4 Downtown Commercial District
Level of Significance: Non-contributing (Jacobsen 2003)
Staff Analysis: According to the Jacobsen Phase III survey, 620 Iowa Street is a non-
contributing building. This is a modern building constructed in 1972. The applicant
wishes to demolish the existing building and construct a new McDonald's restaurant in
its place. The applicant has provided renderings of the new McDonald's restaurant and
notes it will be similar in appearance to the new McDonald's off of JFK. Photographs
and the Dubuque County Assessor property listing has also been provided for the
Commission's consideration.
The City Code provides for the Historic Preservation Commission to review the
demolition request, and then to make a determination as to:
(1) whether the building has historic or architectural significance to the community, and
(2) whether denial of the proposed demolition would prevent the property owner from
earning a reasonable economic return.
If the HPC finds that one or the other of these criteria is not met, then the Commission
must recommend approval of the demolition request. If the HPC finds that both of these
criteria are met, then the Commission must recommend denial of the demolition
request. The Commission's recommendation goes on to the City Council for final
action.
