Property History: The existing building was developed as a large industrial structure in 1900 and has housed a number of industrial uses over the years. The north half of the building was converted to commercial uses including retail sales and a hair salon in the 1960s. The north half of the building was rezoned from Light Industrial to C-4 Downtown Commercial in July 2003. The south half of the building, the subject property, has housed an industrial use and is partially vacant. Physical Characteristics: The subject building is the south half of a large brick two-story warehouse style building built at the turn of the century. The north half of the building has approximately 8,000 square feet of area per floor and is located on a level 13,000 square foot lot. The south half of the building is approximately 9,300 square feet per floor on a level 11,600 square foot lot. The property is bordered by Main Street and a City Park on the west, City of Dubuque public property and the Iowa Department of Transportation right-of--way for Highway 61/151 on the east, the north half of the building to the north, and the Jones Street right- of-way and commercial building to the south. Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan recommends commercial use for this area. Impact of Request on: Utilities: Existing utilities are adequate to serve the site. Traffic Patterns/Counts: IDOT 2005 annual average daily traffic counts indicate 3,100 vehicle trips per day on Main Street directly south of the subject property at Rezoning Staff Report - 40/42 Main Street Page 2 its intersection with the Jones Street Connector to Highway 61/151 and approximately 15,000 vehicle trips per day along the north and southbound lanes of Highway 61/151 and 19,000 vehicle trips per day on the Locust Street connector just north of the subject property. Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the site. Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impact to the environment as the property is almost fully developed and redevelopment of the building shall have very limited impact on the subject lot. Adjacent Properties: The subject parcel is surrounded primarily by public right-of- way, park area and industrial/commercial development; therefore, renovation of this building for those uses permitted in a C-4 District should have very limited impact on adjacent properties. There may be, however, an increased demand on parking in an area where there may not currently be adequate off-street parking for all adjacent businesses. CIP Investments: None proposed. Staff Analysis: The applicant is proposing to rezone the south half of an existing large two-story brick industrial building from LI Light Industrial District to C-4 Downtown Commercial District. The building is approximately 9,300 square feet on two levels and is located on an 11,400 square foot lot. There is approximately 1,600 square feet of lot area on the east side of the building, however, at 13 feet in width, it is not able to accommodate off-street parking. The applicant is discussing potential parking scenarios with the City of Dubuque and the adjacent property owner. It may be possible to purchase some of the 50 feet of right-of--way between the subject property and the freeway to accommodate additional parking. The building is bordered on three sides by public right-of-way and parks and on the fourth side by an existing commercial/vacant building. In the past the subject building accommodated Higley Chemical, a bar on the second floor and a legally nonconforming beauty salon on the main floor. The north half of the building was rezoned to C-4 in 2003 and is currently vacant. It is the applicant's intention to remodel the south half of the building and convert it to a mixed use development with commercial/retail on the main floor and upper story residential. The north half of the building was formerly used for commercial purposes, including a bar and hair salon, however, it is currently vacant. There appears to be little potential for traffic conflict between retail sales customers and industrial users at this location because this is a cul-de-sac with very little traffic. Rezoning Staff Report - 40/42 Main Street Page 3 The applicant will, however, have to resolve the lack of parking for the building. This may include partnering with the City and the adjacent property owner to create additional parking on public right-of-way both east and south of the subject building. The subject property is accessed from Main Street by northbound traffic along Main Street or by north and southbound traffic from Highway 61/151 from the Main Street connector. This request represents an expansion of the C-4 District from the north half of the building. Staff recommends the Zoning Advisory Commission review Section 6-1.1 of the Zoning Ordinance which establishes criteria for granting a rezoning.
