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 Sister Teri Hedro, representing the Sisters of Charity BVM, spoke in favor of the request, and introduced Mike Jansen of IIW Engineering. Mr. Jansen reviewed the changes made to their request including reducing the size of the area to be zoned PUD Planned Unit Development, permitted uses were to be associated with senior housing, and development of a life care or continuum of care facility. Mr. Jansen also discussed that they are supportive of the Fire Department's need for a secondary emergency access and will work with the Fire Department to construct the access when the time comes. Staff reviewed the staff report, noting the revisions made to the applicant's original request, the findings of the traffic analysis submitted by IN Engineering, and the need for a secondary emergency access. Staff reviewed the list of permitted and conditional uses and discussed moving museum, library and seminary to the list of conditional uses. Staff asked for clarification on single- and two-family housing. There were several public comments that generally supported the revised application. There also were questions regarding the findings of the traffic analysis, if the housing styles allowed would be limited to senior housing, and the timetable. Mr. Jansen noted the timetable will depend on when a continuum of care partner is secured. He also clarified the single-family, two-family, and multi-family residential would be senior housing only. Service People Integrity Responsibility Innovation Teamwork The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members Page 2 The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, clarifying that museum and seminary existing uses will be moved to conditional uses. The Commission found that the modified request addressed Commission's concerns raised by the initial application and also earned neighborhood support.

As you know, the Sisters of Charity, BVM have been working to identify an appropriate approach to planning for the future of the site and ensure that the BVM congregation can continue in mission and care for our members. Based on input we have received from the Zoning Advisory Commission and from staff, we have modified our request and ask that the City of Dubuque allow for the rezoning of a portion of the Mount Carmel property from R-1 to a Planned Unit Development. This rezoning request includes a conceptual site plan for the area that will allow for a continuing care community to transition onto the site and allow for the our congregation to age in place. The congregation has been in Dubuque for more than 170 years, and on the approximately 108 acre South Grandview site for 120 years. The BVM congregation and its Mount Carmel home are tied to the City of Dubuque. We have taken significant time and effort to develop a thoughtful approach to the future of this site. The entire BVM congregation has been engaged in this planning from the beginning. Additionally, our process has worked to incorporate input from the City and our neighbors through meetings and open house sessions. BVM values and mission include responsible stewardship of land and buildings, commitment to use resources for the common good of earth and its people, and engaging in mission and care for members. It is our true hope that this PUD protects these values and allows for a continuation of the mission. We look forward to presenting our PUD zoning to the Zoning Advisory Committee. In connection with our plan for the Property, please note: (5) Sketches to indicate the general design of building types and the overall character of the development. See Section 3: Architectural Standards, in the PUD Standards. (6) Existing contours for the Property taken at regular contour intervals. See the attached Existing Site Conditions. (7) Location of natural features, including woods, bluffs, waterway courses, foodways and meadows. See the attached Existing Site Conditions. (8) Conceptual landscape plan showing berms, plantings and fences. See the PUD Standards and Figure 2.1: Typical Perimeter Buffer Planting, Figure 2.2: Typical Parkway Planting and Figure 2.3 Typical Parking Lot Planting for detailed landscape standards. (9) Location map at appropriate scale showing general location and relation of the property to surrounding area, including the zoning and land use pattern of adjacent properties, the existing street system and location of nearby public facilities.

Sisters of Charity BVM 6 1 P a g e Mount Carmel PUD Standards January 28, 2015 SECTION 2: LANDSCAPE STANDARDS 2.A General Description and Intent The natural character of the site should be preserved and enhanced as land use changes.Site landscaping will be designed in a naturalized pattern to complement the ravines,and other natural features of the site,work with the architectural form of buildings,provide shade,create outdoor spaces for employees,residents and visitors,and buffer parking lots.These landscape standards build on elements of the Cite of Dubuque Unifred Development Code to provide landscape requirements for plant material,parkways and site buffer and parking lot treatments that: ■ Preserve or enhance the appearance and character of the property and its surroundings. ■ Reduce noise and air pollution,light glare,soil erosion and solar heat gain. ■ Provide buffering between land uses and zoning districts of differing intensity. ■ Promote the preservation of existing significant vegetation. ■ Improve the appearance of parking areas and properties abutting public rights-of-way. 2.13 Landscape Requirements Overall Site Landscape Requirements Minimum permeable open space will be calculated at 40 percent of the entire site dedicated under review. ■ Permeable open space calculations may include easement areas,perimeter setbacks„woodlands, landscape buffers,internal roadway setbacks (parkways),and parking lot landscape. Minimum site landscape plant quantities shall be calculated at 1 plant unit per 2,000 square feet of site landscape area. ■ Street trees planted in the parkway or in the public right-of-way shall not be counted toward fulfillment of the minimum site requirements for number of trees. ■ Parking lot landscape requirements shall not be counted toward fulfillment of the minimum site requirements for number of trees. ■ Existing trees to be retained on site may be counted toward fulfillment of the landscaping requirements. Plant Units A plant unit is a measurement used to determine the quantity of plant material required for screening and shading. One plant unit is comprised of any of the following elements: ■ One canopy tree ■ Two under-story or ornamental trees ■ Two evergreen trees ■ Seven shrubs (large or small,deciduous or evergreen) Plant unit calculations establish the total quantity of required plant material while allowing the landscape architect flexibility in allocating and distributing plant material.Existing plant material protected during construction may be used to satisfy the plant material requirements provided the type and size of the plant material meets the plant material standards and the plant material is not an invasive or noxious variety. Sisters of Charity BVM 7 1 P a g e Mount Carmel PUD Standards January 28, 2015 Perimeter Buffer Landscape Requirements Perimeter buffer landscape will help create a transition from the adjacent residential uses on the north of the Site. Plant material shall consist of a variety of deciduous and evergreen trees and sh_ubs as shown in Figure 2.1:Typical Perimeter Buffer Planting.A minimum total of three (3)plant units per 100 linear feet of buffer shall be installed. ■ Only required access drives and sidewalks shall break through a perimeter landscape open space. ■ Every perimeter buffer landscape open space shall be designed and maintained to preserve unobstructed views of the street and sidewalk at points of access and to not interfere with or be damaged by work within any public utility easement,unless the City shall determine that no other location is reasonably feasible. Parkway Landscape Requirements A consistently planted parkway will add to the overall Site character by providing an appealing arrival sequence and uniform experience around,into and through the Site.All streets shall include 2 canopy trees per 100 feet of road frontage.These trees may be located in closer proximity to each other to create clustering or massing of plant material instead of a consistent on-center planting approach as long as they are located within the roadway setback,see Figure 2.2:Typical Parkway Planting. Parking Lot Landscape Requirements The following are standards for the design of parking lot interior and perimeter landscape areas which build upon the standards defined in the City of Dubuque Unified Development Code. Figure 2.3:Typical Parking Lot Planting reflects a minimum treatment for a typical parking lot. ■ Parking bays in excess of 11 spaces in length shall provide landscaped islands at the ends of each aisle. Parking bays in excess of 20 spaces in lengdi shall be divided by intermediate landscaped islands,and provide landscaped islands at the ends of each aisle. ■ A landscaped island for a single parking bay shall be a minimum of 9 feet wide by 18 feet long and shall contain the equivalent of two (2) plant units. ■ A landscaped island for a double parking bay shall be a minimum of 9 feet wide by 36 feet long and shall contain the equivalent of four(4)plant units. ■ If the required planting ratio is not obtainable in a healthy landscape environment,then the remaining plant material required by this calculation may be placed in close proximity of the parking lot.This additional area should be integrated with the parking lot perimeter landscape. ■ All parking lot landscape areas shall be protected by raised curbs with a minimum height of 4 inches. ■ Except for in swales, the finished grade (crown) or interior planting areas shall not be less than 3 inches above curb or pavement. ■ A landscaped buffer strip shall be provided along the frontage of all surface parking areas at least 10 feet wide along the public right-of-way.The buffer strip shall be planted with a minimum of 7 plant units per 100 linear feet of buffer.Landscaped earth berms and or decorative walls and fences are permitted provided they are integrated with the landscape screening described above.The use of biofiltration methods of landscape and drainage design is encouraged. ■ A landscaped buffer strip of at least seven feet wide shall be provided along die remaining sides of all surface parking lots. The buffer strip shall be planted with a minimum of 5 plant units per 100 linear feet. ■ Prior to planting,all interior areas shall be excavated to a depth of 3 feet and amended with a soil mixture consisting of 1 part screened topsoil, 1 part existing topsoil,and 2 parts of organic compost or an approved equivalent,with the exception of other soil mixtures as necessary to accommodate Sisters of Charity BVM 8 1 P a g e RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT 3 PLANT UNITS MIN / 100' 25' LANDSCAPE BUFFER Sisters of Charity BVM Mount Carmel PUD Submittal Dubuque, Iowa Figure 2.1: Typical Perimeter Buffer Planting TYPICAL EVERGREEN TREE TYPICAL CANOPY TREE TYPICAL DECIDUOUS SHRUB TYPICAL UNDER -STORY TREE LAKOTA 0' 10' 20' January 5, 2015 k � 2 CANOPY TREES MIN/ 100' I • 0 ff—Y—O—) o p DEDICATED RIGHT - OF -WAY • o o i I I Sisters of Charity BVM Mount Carmel PUD Submittal Dubuque, Iowa 1.AIC0TA 0' 15' 30' Figure 2.2: Typical Parkway Planting �� januaty 5 2015 --- 1T ---------------------------- ----------- DEDICATED RIGHT - OF -WAY -- -- r °-p-° ------- - -- - - ---- - --- - ---- -- ----- PARKING LOT FRONTAGE PERIMETER LANDSCAPE ZONE: 7 PLANT UNITS PER 100 LINEAR FEET i TYPICAL C kNOPY TREE 0 PARKING LOT _E_RIM_ETER LANDSCAPE ZONE: _ 5 PLANT UNIT PER 100 LINEAR FEET 'a Sisters of Charity BVM Mount Carmel PUD Submittal Dubuque, Iowa LAKOTA o, 30' 60' Figure 2.3: Typical Parking Lot Planting January 5,2015 Mount Carmel PUD Standards January 28, 2015 Low Impact Development features.This requirement may be waived upon confirmation by the County's Planning,Building and Development Director that the pre-existing soil is suitable for planting and drainage,and that no amendments are necessary. ■ All landscaped areas that are not planted in grass shall be finished with a 3-inch layer of mulch.

Tree Survey and Preservation Plan As part of any development plan submission,a tree survey shall be conducted by a certified arborist. The survey shall delineate the limits of all vegetated woodland areas on site. All specimen trees not located in vegetated woodland areas that measure 8" or greater at Direct Breast Height(DBH) shall be tagged,identified and recorded. Based on this tree survey,all trees in below average or poor condition,of a noxious species,or Sisters of Charity BVM 9 1 P a g e Mount Carmel PUD Standards January 28, 2015 that measure less than 8" DBH,can be removed from the property at the discretion of the owner to assist in providing a healthier growing environment for the existing tree stands. The tree inventory shall rate tree condition and form as follows: ■ 5-poor condition:A rating of 5 shall be given to a tree that has significant deadwood,bad sweep or lean,disease or damage by insect pests and larvae,lightning damage, split,or other physical damage. ■ 4-below average condition:A rating of 4 shall be given to a tree that has some deadwood,minor sweep or lean,distorted shape,trunk or bark damage,multiple stems,or poor physical quality. ■ 3-fair condition:A rating of 3 shall be given to a tree that is average in condition,form,physical state, appearance,and health. ■ 2-above average condition:A rating of 2 shall be given to a tree that has little or no damage,sound, good shape and form,and is good in overall physical quality. ■ 1-excellent condition:A rating of 1 shall be given to a tree that is excellent in appearance,condition and form,balanced branching and healthy. The following tree species identified are considered noxious: ■ Buckthorn The following tree species identified are considered undesirable: ■ Box Elder ■ Siberian Elm ■ White Mulberry The preservation of existing healthy trees and natural landscape features on a site is encouraged.The number of new plant materials may be reduced when existing trees of a desirable species in a healthy growing condition are preserved within the area of the perimeter landscape open space. Credit for the preservation of existing trees 8 inches in caliper(deciduous) or 8 feet in height(evergreen) shall be as follows,but in no instance shall a developer or property owner receive greater than a maximum of 50%credit towards the number of required trees: Size of Preserved Tree Tree Credit 1 Canopy or Under-Story Tree,6" to 12"caliper 1 Evergreen Tree or Multi-Stem Under-Story Tree,6'to 12'height 3 Trees 1 Canopy or Under-Story Tree, 12"to 30"caliper 1 Evergreen Tree or Multi-Stem Under-Story Tree,more than 12'height 4 Trees 1 Canopy or Under-Story Tree,more than 30"caliper 5 Trees Exceptions With the incorporation of Best Management Practices (BMPs),Low Impact Development practices (LIDS)or other Sustainable Design practices into the project,the required landscaping may be reduced or arranged in a manner that will enhance the design concept at the discretion of The City of Dubuque. Considerations shall include the following. • Swales or bio-filters placed in islands or at the perimeter of parking areas,designed to improve the filtration and quality of stormwater runoff. • Proposals to modify the type or quantity of landscape materials may be allowed in exchange for the installation of plant species such as native trees,shrubs,grass or perennials that will enhance the filtering capacity of the site and promote the use of diverse native species. Sisters of Charity BVM 10 1 P a g e Mount Carmel PUD Standards January 28, 2015 • Proposed swales or filters using a structural pervious surface may be used for parking or drive aisles provided such features are designed to withstand vehicular loads. Sisters of Charity BVM 111 P a g e Mount Carmel PUD Standards January 28, 2015 SECTION 3: ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS All buildings shall have a balanced,integrated design theme that strives to incorporate solid architecture that fits within the character of the Site. 3.A Building Scale and Massing The size and orientation of buildings is critical to achieving a balanced overall Site design.The following items shall be addressed to achieve appropriate scale and massing. ■ Buildings should be clustered together where feasible to promote efficient street/driveway systems, shared parking,integrated open spaces and pedestrian linkages between buildings. ■ Where feasible,buildings and main entries shall be located along the Site Loop Road to foster a welcoming pedestrian environment. In no instance shall a building's rear entrance or service area be oriented towards the Loop Road or internal access drives. ■ Building orientation and design elements shall encourage overall visual continuity. ■ To the greatest extent possible buildings shall be oriented to take advantage of natural light view sheds and passive solar opportunities. 33 Architectural Styles and Building Materials &Colors Architectural styles should be carefully balanced and coordinated with the style,materials,color and massing of other buildings seen throughout the Site. ■ A balance of proportions and scale through vertical and horizontal rhytlun and facade articulation should be set. ■ Unarticulated, flat front buildings are prohibited. ■ A building's main entrance should be clearly defined within the facade. ■ Building projections shall be pedestrian-scaled and proportional to the building facade. ■ Structures should be consistent with residential scale and articulation,especially on street facing elevations. Building Materials A range of acceptable building materials shall be considered to enhance architectural interest and Site character. • All new buildings should be constructed with a blend of high quality materials such as masonry(brick and stone) and wood.Limited amount of"glass skin"or decorative stucco may be considered if they are considered accent materials rather than primary materials. In addition,a limited amount of cement board siding may be used in combination with other approved materials if it is an accent rather than primary material. • Since all future Site buildings will be highly visible from roads,access drives and open space, architecture should be complete and wrap all four sides of the building.Primary building materials used on the front or main building facade shall be continued on the side and rear facades. • The number of materials on any exterior building face should be limited to no more than three to avoid clutter and visual overload. The following building materials shall not be used as exterior building materials or on any exterior walls: ■ Concrete finishes or precast concrete panels (tilt wall) that are not exposed aggregate,hammered, sandblasted or covered with a cement-based acrylic coating. ■ Metal panels with a depth of less than 1 inch or a thickness less than US Standard 26 gauge. Sisters of Charity BVM 12 1 P a g e Mount Carmel PUD Standards January 28, 2015 Mirrored glass with a reflectance greater than 40°,o shall not cover more than 40%of exterior walls. Building Colors The use of a limited range of neutral or natural colors is encouraged.Building colors shall be compatible with the Campus character and subtly enhance a building's visual appeal. • Natural colors and complementary colors shall be used for primary building facades and roof forms. Neutral earth tones (beige to brown),shades of gray, traditional colors (brick red,dark green,navy blue) or light,subdued hues are acceptable. • Contrasting accent colors,which are compatible with the colors listed above,are acceptable for secondary facades or accent colors or details. • Primary,bright or excessively brilliant colors are prohibited unless used in very limited applications for subtle trim accents or specifically for art/sculptural elements of a building. • Building facade colors should be kept to two or three colors or hues of individual colors.The color of visible roof forms should also be considered when selecting colors. Garages Painting of garage doors with multiple colors or designs is prohibited. All garage doors shall be one color, with a second color allowed for accents only. IC Sustainable Design Principles Best management practices for efficient and sustainable development shall be taken into consideration. The following design principles highlight areas to focus on for future development: ■ Recycled materials. ■ Local source material acquisition. ■ Reduced construction waste. ■ Health conscious building materials and systems. ■ Energy efficient materials and systems. ■ Building rehabilitation. ■ Stormwater Best Management Practices. ■ Vegetative swales,rain gardens and expanded wetlands ■ Water recapture systems ■ Ground water recharge ■ Low volume irrigation systems Sisters of Charity BVM 13 ( P a g e Mount Carmel PUD Standards January 28, 2015 SECTION 4: SIGN STANDARDS 4.A Signage System A coordinated site signage system shall be established to facilitate wayfinding to buildings and parking as well as to create a more cohesive and distinct character for the overall Site.Such a system shall include a hierarchy of sign types strategically placed throughout the Site. Sign types include: ■ Overall Site identity:identifies the Site to visitors at the entrance(s) to the site. ■ Individual site identity:identifies a use / site/building,sign will be placed perpendicular to the road within the common parkway. ■ Overall Site directional:placed at key decision points within the Site to guide motorists to sites and building. ■ Individual site informational:address specific locational needs such as loading docks,and may be placed on building walls or ground mounted on posts. 4.6 Sign Standards Purpose The purpose of these sign standards is to maintain and enhance the aesthetic environment,maintain pedestrian and traffic safety and minimize the distractions,hazards and obstructions caused by signs,and to minimize the possible adverse effects of signs on nearby public and private property. Sign Area, Height and Number The size,height,and number of allowed signs shall be regulated by Article 15-11.13 of the City of Dubuque Unified Development Code unless further regulated within the PUD. Prohibited Signs. Pylon,pole,rooftop,neon,internally-illuminated,awning,and fabric banners other than official flags of nations,states or political subdivisions thereof,wooden and electronic message signs are prohibited. Sign Lighting. Sign illumination shall comply with the following requirements: ■ Illumination of a sign within 100 feet of and visible from any property zoned Residential shall be extinguished between the hours of 11:00pm and 7:00am every day. ■ Traffic signs shall comply with MUTCD regulations as outlined in the Cite of Dubuque Unified Development Code. Location and Scale ■ Signs shall not obstruct significant architectural details or elements,including windows and doorways. ■ All ground-mounted signs shall be placed within planting areas that are coordinated in design for the overall site. Sisters of Charity BVM 14 1 P a g e Mount Carmel PUD Standards January 28, 2015 Text and Materials Text on all signs shall be simple and easy to read. It is important that all message wording be selected to maximize information being conveyed while using the most concise vocabulary.A sign with a brief,succinct message is more user-friendly,and will have a cleaner look.All directional lettering shall be a mix of upper and lower case lettering with the first letter of every word capitalized.Avoid spacing letters too close together as crowding will make the sign more difficult to read. Signs shall be constructed of high-quality,durable materials. Brick and mortar or natural stone bases are to be constructed with materials that complement the building architecture. . Exceptions Home address or family name plaques are excluded from the above requirements.

The purpose of this study is to determine the anticipated impact to traffic for the proposed conceptual site plan. This report provides information regarding existing traffic volumes,analysis to determine projected traffic volumes, and a comparison of the two. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project is located at 1100 Carmel Drive,near the intersection of South Grandview Avenue and Mt. Carmel Road at the BVM campus known as Mount Carmel. BVM is preparing for the future of their Mount Carmel property by allowing the property to be developed and used in a way that is consistent with their values, heritage,and vision for the use of the land,and as a way to financially support and care for the sisters as they age and their numbers decrease. To accomplish these goals, BVM wishes to re-zone part of their property to a PUD. A conceptual site plan has been established which is consistent with these goals. This conceptual site plan consists of a 40 unit memory care and long-term care facility,200 units of independent living,and a 60 unit assisted living development,along with the existing facilities of Carmel Circle, Caritas, and the Motherhouse. Carmel Circle currently has 14 units which are being used as independent living. Caritas will have 53 units and the Motherhouse will have 85 units under the proposed conceptual site plan and both will be used as a long-term care facility. See Exhibit 1—Proposed Conceptual Site Plan. Additional existing buildings shown on the site plan that are not labeled are accessory to the proposed uses of the Conceptual PUD Site Plan,and do not contribute to daily traffic to the site. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The proposed land use is consistent with the Institute of Transportation Engineers(ITE)definition of Senior Facilities. For Senior Adult Housing-Attached and Assisted Living complexes, the peak hour generated typically does not coincide with the peak hour of the adjacent street traffic. Since the majority of trips for the conceptual site plan are generated by these land uses,the Annual Average Daily Traffic(AADT)was primarily reviewed. By using the ITE Trip Generation Manual fitted curve equation for Nursing Home,Assisted Living,and Senior Adult Housing-Attached land uses,the total daily trips generated by the conceptual site plan is 1,284. For S.Grandview Ave between BVM and Mt. Carmel Road, upon development of the proposed BVM conceptual site plan,the AADT is projected to be 1,375. Additionally,the AADT on S. Grandview Avenue between Julien Dubuque Drive and Shady Oaks Drive is projected to be 1,737. This is less than a 2001 Iowa DOT count between Shady Oaks Drive and Mt. Carmel Road of 1,760,and much less than other 2lane roads in the vicinity. Refer to the attached Exhibit 2—AADT at 2 Lane Roads in Vicinity of S. Grandview Avenue showing historical AADT,current AADT,and projected AADT from the proposed BVM conceptual site plan. Table 1 —Summary of Traffic Volumes BVM Entrance 1730 S.Grandview Ave. 1951 S.Grandview Ave. vehicles per hour I AADT AADT AADT Existing(based on 2012& (71) 973 1,426 1,064 2013 counts Proposed Conceptual Site Plan(projected based on (152) 1,284 1,737 1,375 ITE Page 2 of 13 EXISTING CONDITIONS South Grandview Avenue,east of US Highway 611151 is a residential street with an urban character and curb and gutter cross-section. The street is approximately 40 feet wide,with parking on both sides of the street. The posted speed limit is 25 mph. South Grandview Avenue provides access to Julien Dubuque Drive,Murphy Drive and park,Alliant Powerline Trail, Laurel Street, Shady Oaks Drive, Mt. Carmel Road, Carmel Drive,BVM,and many residential dwellings. Before the entrance to BVM,S. Grandview Avenue becomes Carmel Drive,and there is a small traffic circle. Carmel Drive splits into two(2)two-way streets. The public street continues in the more easterly direction for a short distance past a few residential lots and then becomes a private drive for BVM. The more southerly direction off of the traffic circle becomes a private drive at the traffic circle and is BVM's'back drive',and also provides access to Carmel Circle buildings. See attached Exhibit 3-Area Map The City of Dubuque collected traffic data including speed and volumes on July 18,2012 at 1730 S.Grandview Avenue and at 1951 S. Grandview Avenue. The study began at 1:00 p.m. and ended at 1:00 p.m.on July 19,2012. At 1730 S. Grandview Avenue, 1,426 vehicles were recorded in the 24 hour period. At 1951 S.Grandview Avenue, 1,064 vehicles were recorded in the 24 hour period. The peak volumes were recorded between 4:30pm and 6:OOpm. See Exhibit 4—Location of Traffic Counts, Since S.Grandview Avenue ends at Carmel Drive,near the BVM property, it can be assumed that most of the 1,064 vehicles counted at 1951 S.Grandview Avenue are generated by BVM and the seven single family homes east of 1951 S. Grandview Ave. Using accepted ITE methods for forecasting trips generated,it is estimated that these 7 homes would create 91 daily trips; therefore, it is estimated that the BVM property generates 973 trips daily. Based on the peak hour identified from the City of Dubuque count, IIW collected traffic data at the intersection of S. Grandview Avenue and Shady Oaks Drive(1830 S.Grandview Avenue)on March 19,2013 from 7:00 a.m.to 9:00 a.m.and from 4:30 p.m.to 6:15 p.m. The AM peak hour traffic on S.Grandview Avenue was from 7:15 a.m.to 8:15 a.m.,and the AM peak hour traffic generated by Shady Oaks was the same time period. The peak hour evening traffic on S. Grandview Avenue was from 4:30 p.m,to 5:30 p.m.,but the PM peak hour traffic generated by Shady Oaks was 5:15 p.m.to 6:15 p.m. The weather was sunny and cold. See Exhibits 5.1 through 5.2 —Existing Turn Count Data. IIW, PC also collected data at the traffic circle at Carmel Drive and the'back drive'to BVM I Carmel Circle buildings on March 21,2013 from 7:00 a.m.to 9:00 a.m.and from 4:00 p.m.to 6:00 p.m. The weather was sunny and cold. The AM peak hour traffic period was from 7:00 a.m.to 8:00 a.m.with 68 vehicles entering or exiting the BVM property, using either Carmel Drive to the BVM entrance or BVM's'back drive',in one hour. The PM peak hour traffic period was from 4:00 p.m.to 5:00 p.m.with 71 vehicles entering or exiting the BVM property in one hour. Vehicles making a'U-Turn'from'back drive'toward the BVM entrance,or vice versa,do not count in the traffic totals since those vehicles are not entering or leaving the property. See Exhibit 5.3 through 5.4—Existing Turn Count Data. Currently,there are areas of existing buildings on the BVM campus that are not being utilized. However,these areas were used in the past. Therefore,it can be assumed that trips generated by BVM were higher in the past. To support this assumption,previous Iowa DOT counts were examined and are shown on Exhibit 2—AADT at 2 Lane Roads in Vicinity of S.Grandview Avenue. There is an AADT traffic count from the DOT in 1997 that recorded 1,620 vehicles between Shady Oaks Drive and Mt.Carmel Road and one in 2001 that recorded 1,760 vehicles. This is more vehicles than was counted in 2012 west of Shady Oaks Drive on S.Grandview Ave. TRAFFIC ANALYSIS PROCEDURES A widely accepted way to determine future traffic generated is by using the ITE Trip Generation Manual. This manual has compiled hundreds of traffic counts for each type of land use so that predictions can be made for a similar land use in the future. For this study, the ITE data will be used for land use of Senior Adult Housing-Attached,Assisted Living,and Nursing Home. See Exhibit 6 for ITE Land Use Definitions. DETAILED ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN Trips Generated by Land Use Nursing Home The ITE Land Use Nursing Home(620)is appropriate to use for the 40 unit memory care and long-term care development,and the existing facilities of the Motherhouse and Caritas. It is estimated that these three facilities will have 126 employees.The ITE equation for weekday average daily trips is T=2.32(x)+105.45 where"x"equals employees. Therefore,for 126 employees,T=398 trips. Since the peak hour for S. Grandview Avenue is in the PM, PM peak hour trips will be calculated for these facilities. The ITE equation for PM Peak Hour Trips is T=0.38(x)+10.41 where"x"equals employees. Therefore,for 126 employees,T=58 trips. Page 3 of 13 Trips Generated by Land Use Assisted Living The ITE Land Use Assisted Living(254)is appropriate for the 60 units of assisted living proposed in the conceptual site plan. It is estimated that this facility will have 26 employees. The ITE equation for weekday average trips is T=1.64(x)+184.72 where"x"equals employees. Therefore,for 26 employees,T=227 trips. For the peak PM hour,T=0.29(x)+19.18 where"x"equals employees. Therefore,for 26 employees,T=27 trips. Trips Generated by Land Use Senior Adult Housing-Attached The ITE land use Senior Adult Housing-Attached(252)is appropriate for the 200 unit independent living facility,and the existing 14 Carmel Circle units.The ITE equation for weekday average trips is T=2.98(x)+21.05 where"x"equals units. Therefore,for 214 units, T=659 daily trips. For the peak PM hour,Ln(T)=0.99 Ln(x)-1.11 where"x'equals units. Therefore,for 214 units,T=67 trips.

These developments generally lack centralized dining and on-site health facilities. The peak hour traffic generated by these land uses typically did not coincide with the peak hour of the adjacent street traffic. Assisted Living complexes are residential settings that provide routine general protective oversight or assistance with activities necessary for independent living to mentally or physically limited persons. They commonly have separate living quarters for residents, and services include dining,housekeeping,social and physical activities, medication administration and transportation. Staff may be available 24 hours a day, but skilled medical care-which is limited in nature-isnot required. The rooms consist of either a single room or small apartment style unit with a kitchenette and living space. The peak hour traffic generated by this land use typically did not coincide with the peak hour of the adjacent street traffic. A nursing home is any facility whose primary function is to provide care for persons who are unable to care for themselves. Examples of such facilities include rest homes and chronic care and convalescent homes. Skilled nurses and nursing aides are present 24 hours a day at these sites. Nursing homes are occupied by residents who do little or no driving;traffic is primarily generated by employees, visitors and deliveries. Page 13 of 13 PLANNED DISTRICT STAFF REPORT Zoning Agenda: February 4, 2015 Project Name: Mount Carmel PUD Property Address: 1150 Carmel Drive Property Owner: Sisters of Charity Blessed Virgin Mary Applicant: Lakota Group/Daniel Grove Proposed Land Use: Mixed use Proposed Zoning: PUD Existing Land Use: Religious Existing Zoning: R-1 Adjacent Land Use: North — Residential Adjacent Zoning: North —R-1 West — Residential West—R-1 South — Recreation/industrial South —R-1/PI East — Railroad/river East —HI Flood Plain: No Total Area: 28.3 acres Water: Yes Existing Street Access: Yes Storm Sewer: Yes Sanitary Sewer: Yes Previous Planned District: None. Purpose: The purpose is to facilitate the future use and redevelopment of the subject property. Property History: The motherhouse was completed in 1893, and at that time, the property was outside the city. The most recent additions to the campus included the new residential housing units in the northwest corner of the campus in 1995, and the construction of the assisted care living building in 1998. Physical Characteristics: The property is located at the end of South Grandview Avenue and includes blufflands overlooking the Mississippi River as well as mature woodlands to the south and west of the existing campus buildings. The property generally drains to the south towards Catfish Creek. Conformance with Comprehensive Plan: The 2030 Future Land Use Map designates the property as Institutional. Planned District Staff Report Mt. Carmel Campus PUD Page 2 Staff Analysis: Streets: The existing property is served by South Grandview Avenue. South Grandview Avenue terminates at the cul-de-sac. Carmel Drive then extends approximately 500 feet and then terminates into the existing private roadway system serving the Mount Carmel campus. South Grandview Avenue is a 40-foot wide street within a 50-foot right-of-way. The existing Carmel Drive is paved 30- feet wide with a right-of-way that varies in width. The applicants have provided a traffic study that estimates additional vehicle trips generated by the proposed new senior housing shown on the conceptual plan. A copy of the study is provided in this packet. Sidewalks: Sidewalks exist of both sides of South Grandview Avenue from the bridge over U.S. Highway 61/151 to the cul-de-sac. The only exception to this is a relatively short section from the intersection of Mount Carmel Road and South Grandview Avenue on the east side of South Grandview Avenue. Within the property itself, there are numerous sidewalks providing access from parking lots to buildings and between buildings and the private roadways within the campus. Parking: Off-street surface parking lots are provided to residents, employees and visitors of the existing campus. Lighting: Any new lighting installed as part of any redevelopment of the property will be required to 72-degree cutoff luminaires. Signage: Existing signage is generally small, unlit and provides directions to major buildings, and name plates. The proposed sign regulations will be generally based on Institutional District regulations. In addition, no flashing, neon, or internally lit signs are allowed. Bulk Regulations: The bulk regulations are stipulated within the proposed PUD ordinance. Permeable Area (%) & Location (Open Space): Approximately 55% of the property within the PUD is permeable. Landscaping/Screening: The proposed PUD regulations establish landscaping and screening requirements for the proposed Planned Unit Development. In addition, there is a perimeter buffer screening of 25 feet along the north and west side of the PUD. Phasing of development: None proposed. Planned District Staff Report Mt. Carmel Campus PUD Page 3 Impact of Request on: Utilities: Existing utilities are adequate to serve the existing development and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis as new uses are established. Traffic Patterns/Counts: South Grandview Avenue provides the only access to the property. Vehicle counts taken in the summer of 2012 found 1,064 average daily trips east of the Mount Carmel Road intersection and 1,426 average daily trips west of the intersection. IIW, P.C. has prepared a traffic analysis that includes updated traffic counts and projects vehicle trips based on the proposed land use in the PUD. Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the site. Environment: Planning staff does not anticipate any significant negative impacts to the environment provided adequate erosion control is provided during all phases of new development on the property and adequate stormwater management practices are followed. Adjacent Properties: Planning staff anticipate that the most likely impact to adjacent properties could be an increase in traffic, depending on the mix of uses allowed on the campus in the future. Staff Analysis: History: The applicants originally submitted their request in the spring of 2014. The Zoning Advisory Commission reviewed the proposal at their April 2nd and May 7th meetings. The Commission recommended denial of the request as there was no specific plan associated with the proposed PUD. The City Council reviewed the documents and tabled the Sisters' request and referred the rezoning back to the Zoning Advisory Commission at their June 6, 2014 meeting. The applicants have now revised their request to include approximately 28 acres of their 100-acre property. The proposed PUD encompasses primarily the area of the property that is already developed. The proposed PUD allows for a continuum of care that includes senior independent living, assisted living, memory care and long-term care facilities. The list of allowed uses also allows for a number of uses that would be support of primary uses. The proposed PUD includes extensive landscape requirements and architectural guidelines that will ensure that further developments within the PUD will be compatible Planned District Staff Report Mt. Carmel Campus PUD Page 4 with the high quality of buildings and grounds now existing on the Mount Carmel property. Overview: The Sisters of Charity have owned the property at the end of South Grandview Avenue for 120 years. The Sisters request for a rezoning to Planned Unit Development is designed to facilitate the transition of the campus to new uses. Attached to this staff report is the a cover letter from Sister Theresa Hadro, President of the BVM, that outlines the Sisters' intentions and new information submitted for the revised requested rezoning to Planned Unit Development. The requested rezoning is unique in that the approximately 100-acre parcel is already developed for a mixture of uses that primarily serve the religious order. The requested rezoning is designed to facilitate the transition of the campus to a mixed-use development utilized by people and organizations not associated with the Sisters of Charity BVM and applied to the approximately 28 acres that has been developed to date. The property is currently served by South Grandview Avenue as its only access. South Grandview ends at the cul-de-sac. From that point, Carmel Drive extends beyond the cul-de-sac approximately 500 feet to serve three additional homes. Based on 2012 vehicle counts, 1,064 average daily trips were recorded east of Mount Carmel Drive and 1,426 average daily trips west of Mount Carmel Drive. The campus is tied into the City's water system, while the water mains within the campus are privately maintained. The City's sanitary sewer system currently serves the property. Proposed Planned Unit Development District Standards Section 1: The application for rezoning to PUD includes a set of proposed development standards that will guide new developments on the campus. Section 1 establishes standards for allowed uses, setbacks/buffers, roadways, parking, and service areas. Included in the bulk standards is a 25-foot wide perimeter setback along the exterior of the PUD District. There is also a 25-foot landscape buffer along the north side of the PUD. These setbacks are illustrated on Figures 1.2 & 1.3 of the PUD application packet. The parking requirements are primarily based on the City's standards outlined in the City of Dubuque's Unified Development Code Section 14-6, but for senior housing, a parking requirement is established at .7 spaces per dwelling unit, and long-term care at 1 space per 6 beds plus 1 space for 4 employees on the largest shift. Section 2: Establishes standards for landscaping enhancements on the campus. The perimeter buffer landscaping requirements are delineated as well as parking lot landscaping requirements. The parking lot landscaping requirements are similar to Planned District Staff Report Mt. Carmel Campus PUD Page 5 those employed by the City of Dubuque's Unified Development Code for new parking lots. This section includes requirements related to plant materials and preserving existing woodland areas of the campus. Section 3: Establishes architectural standards. These standards involve building scale massing, architectural style and building materials, and colors that will be applied to new buildings. In general, these standards are designed to complement and be in harmony with existing buildings on the campus and surrounding property. Section 4: Establishes sign standards. Specifically, the proposed guidelines prevent oversized pylon, rooftop, neon, illuminated awnings, and fabric banners other than ordinary flags. The illumination of signage shall be by external sources only, and signs shall not be illuminated with blinking, flashing, fluttering or other illumination conveying a sense of movement. In addition, illumination of a sign within 100 feet of and visible from any property zoned residential shall be extinguished between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. every day. The number, size, and height of signs will be regulated by the sign regulations established in the Institutional District standards contained in the UDC. Plannina Staff Review of Proposed PUD Standards Planning staff's review of the proposed PUD standards generated several comments that should be addressed prior to final adoption. The applicant's consultant, IIW, P.C., has prepared a traffic analysis for the requested PUD. The analysis reviews existing and past traffic volumes along South Grandview between Highway 61/151 and the Mount Carmel property. The analysis reviews both annual average daily trips and peak hour trips based on development of the proposed senior housing outlined in the PUD. The executive summary on pages 2-4 of the report provides a review of the consultant's findings. City staff have reviewed IIW, P.C. analysis and has no objections to the methodology used or the findings related to project AADT and peak hour vehicle trips generated by the proposed new land uses. Planning staff also notes that Exhibit 2 provides comparison of traffic volume and surrounding streets that can help commissioners judge the impact of the proposed PUD on the existing street system. One of the issues that received a fair amount of discussion among City staff members is the fact that there is only a single access to the property at this time — South Grandview. City staff discussed with the representatives of the Sisters of Charity BVM that at some point in the future, a second means of access, most likely to Julien Dubuque Drive, will be necessary to ensure that in an emergency situation, there is a viable second means of access. As changes occur on the property, the Fire Department will monitor the at-risk population, and at some point, require that a secondary emergency access be constructed from Julien Dubuque Drive. Planned District Staff Report Mt. Carmel Campus PUD Page 6 The proposed PUD lists a range of senior housing facilities but also includes non-senior housing, including single, two and multi-family housing. These residential uses were not included in the traffic analysis, but would generate vehicle trips at a higher rate per dwelling unit than senior housing. The conceptual plan also does not indicate potential locations for the non-senior housing or proposed number of units. Planning staff recommends that the Zoning Advisory Commission consider whether non-senior housing is appropriate in this PUD district. An option for the Commission to consider is to classify non-senior housing as a conditional use that would require that the Zoning Board of Adjustment review a specific plan with public input prior to allowing the development. To a lesser extent, Planning staff has the same concern regarding the listing of library or museum. These uses typically do not genera a high level of vehicle trips per square foot. The exception would be a museum with a national draw such as the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium. Planning staff recommends the Commission review the list of allowed uses and make a recommendation to the City Council. Rezoning Request The requested rezoning of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary's property from R-1 Single-Family Residential District to Planned Unit Development is unique in the fact that the property is already developed for a wide range of uses. The PUD will allow a transition of the property from a religious institution serving women religious to uses by the general public. While the requested rezoning is for a Planned Unit Development, in some ways the property and anticipated future development will be more like one of the city's institutional districts. The difference is that in the City's institutional districts they are under common ownership of one entity. Planning staff believes that the Sisters of Charity BVM are being proactive and are acting as good stewards for not only their property but for the surrounding property and the community as a whole. The Sisters of Charity BVM are making a conscious and concerted effort to thoughtfully guide the change that will surely happen on their property in the coming decades. Planning staff recommends that the Zoning Advisory Commission review the information submitted by the applicant on the requested rezoning from R-1 Single- Family Residential District to Planned Unit Development, and review Section 5-24.5 of the Unified Development Code that establishes plan approval standards for Planned Unit Developments and make a recommendation to the City Council. Prepared by: Reviewed: ince Date: / /S THE CITY OF hAIA Dubuque DUB E I I I I Lr Masterpiece on the Mississippi za,2. 013 TO: Kyle Kritz, Associate Planner FROM: Gus Psihoyos, City EngineerQ SUBJECT: Review of Traffic Impact Study For Proposed BVM Campus Improvements DATE: February 3, 2015 INTRODUCTION The following is a summary of the traffic impact study for the proposed campus improvements to Sisters of Charity Blessed Virgin Mary (BVM) campus located on Carmel Drive located in Dubuque Iowa. DISCUSSION The proposed improvements to the existing facility include rezoning a portion of the property to Planned Unit Development (PUD). The conceptual plan shows a 40 unit memory care and long-term care facility, 200 units of independent living and 60 unit assisted living development expansion. These improvements along with the existing infrastructure will generate 152 PM peak hour trips (compared to 71 existing) or 1284 daily trips (compared to 973 current trips per day) at the existing entrance to the facility. It was noted that current counts taken by the Iowa DOT showed a decrease in AADT on S. Grandview near Shady Oaks Drive from those taken in 1997 and 2001. Forecasted AADT counts at this intersection after build-out of the BVM campus are lower than those counts from 2001. The study suggests this is due to the fact that the BVM campus generated higher AADT in the past. CONCLUSION The study indicates the proposed development will have minimal effects on the surrounding roadways and intersections and that these roadways will be using only a fraction of their rated capacity. I concur with the study. cc: David Ness P.E Civil Engineer 11 THE CRY Of Dubuque DUB E Masterpiece on theMississippi •m,.m„ MINUTES ZONING ADVISORY COMMISSION REGULAR SESSION 6:00 p.m. Wednesday, April 2, 2014 City Council Chamber 350 W. 6m Street, Dubuque, Iowa PRESENT: Chairperson Patrick Norton; Commissioners Stephen Hardie, Martha Christ, Tom Henschel and Michael Belmont; Staff Members Guy Hemenway and Kyle Kritz. ABSENT: None. CALL TO ORDER: The meeting was called to order at 6:00 p.m. AFFIDAVIT OF COMPLIANCE: Staff presented an Affidavit of Compliance verifying that the meeting was being held in compliance with the Iowa Open Meetings Law. MINUTES: The minutes of the February 5, 2014 and March 5, 2014 meetings were approved unanimously as submitted. ACTION ITEMISIMPLE SUBDIVISION: Application of Laura Jelinske, 11832 Lorelei Lane, for approval of a Plat of Survey, Lot 1 and 2 of Jelinske Addition, Dubuque County. Chairperson Norton excused himself from the table. Jim Jelinske, 11832 Lorelei Lane, said that he would like to sell 23 acres of his existing lot to a neighboring property owner. Staff Member Kritz noted that the request was to split a 40-acre parcel into two lots. He said that the existing lot does not have frontage on a public or private street and,therefore, neither of the two new lots will have frontage. He said that there are no plans for development of Lot 2 for residential purposes. Commission members discussed the request and felt it was appropriate. Motion by Belmont, seconded by Christ, to approve the plat of Survey of Lot 1 and 2 of Jelinske Addition, Dubuque County, subject to waiving the lot frontage requirements for Lots 1 and 2. Motion carried by the following vote: Aye — Hardie, Christ, Henschel and Belmont; Nay— None; Abstain — Norton. Minutes—Zoning Advisory Commission April 2, 2014 Page 2 ACTION ITEM/REZONING: Application of the Sisters of Charity, BVM/The Lakota Group to rezone property located at 1100 Mount Carmel Drive from R-1 Single-Family Residential to PUD Planned Unit Development. Sister Teresa Hadro, 2827 Pinard Street, stated that she is president of the Sisters of Charity BVM. She outlined her request for the Commission noting that, although the Sisters have no immediate development plans, they would like to ensure that their property is developed following the BVM's philosophy regarding land stewardship. She noted the steady decline of the facility's resident population. She discussed the structure of the facility, including the areas devoted to assisted living, congregational offices,out buildings, the cemetery and the Roberta Kuhn Center. She said that the cemetery would not be included in the PUD. She said the Sisters want to continue to be good neighbors and stewards of the property. She introduced Dave Grove and Rebecca Hurley of the Lakota Group. Mr. Grove conducted a PowerPoint presentation outlining the existing campus layout, planned uses and preservation of the natural features. He discussed the lengthy planning process undertaken by the Sisters highlighting the measures taken to ensure the neighbors were included. He provided a matrix comparing permitted and conditional uses in the R-1, R-4, ID and the proposed PUD District and compared bulk standards established in each district. He noted the extensive landscape buffers located on the north and west sides of the property. He discussed the woodland preservation and landscape measures proposed for the property and outlined the proposed sign regulations. No one spoke in opposition to the request. Staff Member Kritz discussed the PUD planning process noting that the proposed uses and bulk standards have been well thought through. He said that this is a good attempt at insuring adaptive re-use of this large and unique acreage. He noted that the property is currently under common ownership similar to colleges and hospitals. Staff Member Kritz discussed the Fire Code preemption issues, noting that staff would prefer that Fire Code issues be handled through the International Building and Fire Codes and not through the PUD. He noted that extension of the public streets could not be approved without review by the Engineering Department to insure all current street standards were met. He said that the bike parking requirements should simply reference standards established in the Unified Development Code. He also recommended that the landscaping requirements reference those established in the UDC. He said there was no need to require balled and burlapped trees. Staff Member Kritz noted that, in Institutional Districts when significant on-campus expansions occur, the Commission has the ability to review them as an amendment to the district. He said this may be one measure the Commission may consider requiring to Minutes—Zoning Advisory Commission April 2, 2014 Page 3 insure that the impact that future development has on the surrounding residential property, and on traffic volumes and street access, is considered. Commissioner Belmont asked about the need for fire protection language in the PUD. Chairperson Norton asked Mr. Grove if the Sisters were amenable to adopting the staff's recommendations for the PUD ordinance. Mr. Grove said the Sisters were amenable to all but the condition that future development requires further Commission review. Commissioner Hardie said that the proposed PUD represented a very well thought out framework, but that it lacked the details necessary for the Commission to render an informed decision. He said that, as there is no concept plan included with the PUD, details on how infrastructure may be extended to the site are lacking. He said he would be more comfortable if the Commission were afforded the ability to review future development. He said that one of his primary concerns is the possible need for a secondary access to the property. He likened the current PUD to a blank check and said he would like the Commission to exert more control over future development of the site. Commissioner Henschel agreed, stating that he shared Commissioner Hardie's concerns regarding the uncertainty of how the property could be developed and the potential impacts. Commissioner Belmont noted that the design and landscape guidelines were very detailed. Chairperson Norton asked if the Commission would review a plat of the property. Staff Member Kritz said that the Commission would only review a plat if the property were to be subdivided. Mr. Grove said that the Sisters expressed concerns regarding their ability to insure that future development reflected the planning framework they established. He said that they would like to be able to exercise control over the property as it develops. He said that they would rather restrict the number and type of uses than require that further development require an amendment to the district. Mr. Grove, staff and the Commission discussed traffic and access issues, including the need for secondary access. Commissioner Hardie again expressed his concerns with the Commission's lack of control over future development and with a PUD that lacks a master plan. Staff Member Kritz discussed traffic analysis along South Grandview Avenue, offering a compromise whereby traffic generation data could be used to determine a threshold for future review by the Commission. Minutes —Zoning Advisory Commission April 2, 2014 Page 4 Commissioner Belmont asked if there was a set threshold for traffic volumes on Grandview Avenue. Staff Member Kritz said there was not. Commissioner Christ expressed concerns with the lack of detail in the plan. She said she felt the Commission needs the ability to review future development of the property. She said that the plan is somewhat of a blank canvas. The Commission took a 5 minute recess. Sister Hadro said that the Sisters would like to retain flexibility in their development options and she noted that they have been good stewards of the land for over 124 years. She asked the Commission to table their request to enable them to evaluate their options. Motion by Belmont, seconded by Hardie, to table the rezoning request. Motion carried by the following vote: Aye— Hardie, Christ, Henschel, Norton, and Belmont; Nay— None. PUBLIC HEARING/TEXT AMENDMENT: Application of the City of Dubuque for approval of a text amendment to amend Section 16-11-7 of the Unified Development Code to add Fringe Area Development Standards. Staff Member Kritz discussed the existing policy regarding fringe area development standards. He noted that the request is to codify the requirement that subdividers must comply with rules for new subdivisions within two-miles of the corporate limits. Staff member Kritz indicated that a pre-annexation agreement will be required that stipulates when the corporate limits are adjacent to the property they will annex. As part of the agreement the City will abate a portion of the property taxes on a sliding scale over ten years. He discussed state law and the right it affords municipalities to regulate fringe areas. He discussed the rationale for the requirement, noting that cities have a vested interest in reviewing proposed street and development patterns and in ensuring logical extension of utilities. He said that the proposed amendment would codify what is currently a policy. Commissioners discussed the request and felt it was appropriate. Motion by Hardie, seconded by Christ,to approve an amendment to Section 16-11-7 of the Unified Development Code to add Fringe Area Development Standards. Motion carried by the following vote: Aye— Hardie, Christ, Henschel, and Belmont; Nay— Norton. PUBLIC HEARING/TEST AMENDMENT: Application of the City of Dubuque for approval of a text amendment to amend Section 16-11-2 of the Unified Development Code to reference Iowa Code Section 354.9 and Two-Mile Extra Jurisdictional Subdivision Review Authority. Minutes—Zoning Advisory Commission April 2, 2014 Page 5 Kyle Kritz, Associate Planner, reviewed the requested text amendment explaining that the language change will explicitly reference state code Section 354.9 in the Unified Development Code. He noted that Section 354.9 of the Iowa Code specifically allows municipalities to exert control over subdivisions within its boundaries and within two-miles of the city limits. Commissioners discussed the request and felt it was appropriate. Motion by Henschel, seconded by Christ,to approve an amendment to Section 16-11-2 of the Unified Development Code to reference Iowa Code Section 354.9 and Two-Mile Extra Jurisdictional Subdivision Review Authority. Motion carried by the following vote: Aye — Hardie, Christ, Henschel, Norton, and Belmont; Nay— None. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Kyle L.

CALL TO ORDER: The meeting was called to order at 6:00 p.m. AFFIDAVIT OF COMPLIANCE: Staff presented an Affidavit of Compliance verifying that the meeting was being held in compliance with the Iowa Open Meetings Law. MINUTES: The minutes of the April 2, 2014 meeting were approved unanimously as submitted. PUBLIC HEARINGIREZONING: Application of the Sisters of Charity BVM/The Lakota Group (tabled) to rezone property located at 1100 Carmel Drive from R-1 Single-Family Residential to PUD Planned Unit Development. Motion by Hardie, seconded by Henschel to bring the request back to the table. Motion was approved by the following vote: Aye—Hardie, Henschel, Belmont, and Norton; Nay— None. Daniel Grove of the Lakota Group said he was representing the Sisters of Charity BVM. He said that the Sisters had made several changes in response to the concerns raised by Commissioners at the last meeting. He introduced Sister Teresa Hadro, 2827 Pinard Street. Sister Hadro discussed the history of the Mount Carmel property and detailed what she said was an extensive planning process undertaken by the Sisters. She said that during the planning process, the Sisters had worked closely with the neighbors and City staff to develop a plan that addressed their concerns. She discussed the goals incorporated into the plan and noted that the Sisters intent is to ensure continued stewardship of the land. She said that they have no current development plans for the property. She discussed demographics of the facility's resident population. Minutes—Zoning Advisory Commission May 7, 2014 Page 2 Mr. Grove reiterated the details of the plan, including bulk standards, landscaping, preservation of open space, and permitted uses. He said they felt there was no need for a detailed concept plan like the colleges have, and said that the Sisters were of the opinion that requiring an amendment process for the plan was not necessary. He said that, in response to the Commissioner's concerns, they further limited the permitted uses and included a conditional use component in the plan. He discussed the proposed uses and their location on the site. He outlined the conditional use process and noted the restrictions listed. Dan Ernst, 899 Mt. Carmel Road, said that he supports the Sisters request. He said that he has had a good long-term relationship with the Sisters, and he asked that the Commission allow the property to be rezoned as proposed. Mike Gaherty, 1849 S. Grandview Avenue,expressed concernswith traffic. He asked how many units could be built on the property. Steve Juergens, 200 Security Building, 151 W. 8th Street, said that he represented the Butler family who own properties along both Mount Carmel and Grandview Avenue. He said they had concerns with the lack of detail in the plan and the lack of traffic analysis for the proposed Planned Unit Development. Mike Conlon, 1975 S. Grandview Avenue, said that he is an adjacent property owner. He praised the Sisters for involving the neighbors in the planning process, but he said that the plan lacks detail. He expressed concerns with the potential for increased traffic along Grandview Avenue. Patty Haas-Chandlee, 945 Carmel Drive, said she is a long-term area resident and has not experienced any issues with traffic. She said that the Mount Carmel facility would serve as a great nursing home. Mr. Grove said that he had no rebuttal. Staff Member Kritz detailed the memo he provided noting the changes the Sisters proposed to the PUD. He discussed the Zoning Board of Adjustment conditional use process and said that the changes proposed were targeted to address the concerns raised by the Commission at their last meeting. He discussed traffic issues regarding the PUD, noting the potential need for a secondary access. He said that four concurring votes are needed for approval of the Sister's request. Commissioner Henschel said that he still had concerns regarding the number of uses permitted. Commissioner Hardie said that the Sisters put forth a commendable effort; however, he said that the PUD plan does not provide enough detail. He said, generally, developers Minutes—Zoning Advisory Commission May 7, 2014 Page 3 would have to amend planned districts if what they proposed ran counter to the plan. He said this allows the Commission additional scrutiny regarding subsequent development. He said that the Sisters property is a large area with much uncertainty, and that the plan did not address traffic management and infrastructure extension issues. He said that the Sisters had not provided a plan with enough specificity. Chairperson Norton said that he agreed. He said there is not enough detail even though the plan has covenants and bulk standards. He said that a physical concept plan has not been provided. He said that approval of the request would be giving the Sisters a blank check for development. He said it is difficult to adequately evaluate traffic generation without a plan. He asked Commissioners if they would be willing to condition approval of the plan on the inclusion of an amendment process. Commissioner Belmont said he was not necessarily concerned with the plan because the Sisters had placed limitations on development through the conditional use process. He said he had minor concerns with the potential intensity of the general office use. Commissioner Hardie said some uses could be quite intense. Commissioner Norton agreed that the intensity of the possible uses is of concern. Motion by Hardie, seconded by Henschel, to approve the rezoning as submitted. The motion was denied by the following vote: Aye — Belmont; Nay — Hardie, Henschel and Norton. PUBLIC HEARINGIREZONING: Application of Dr. Mary Lynn Neumeister to rezone property located at 3674 Crescent Ridge from R-1 Single-Family Residential to C-3 General Commercial zoning district. Mary Lynn Neumeister, 3674 Crescent Ridge, noted the site location and size of the property and stated that there was a large row of trees along the property's boundary. She said that Mr. Herrig who owns the adjacent property, was in favor of her request. She discussed alternative uses for the property considered by her family, noting that they did not want to rent the property as a residence. She discussed the preliminary plan for reconfiguration of U.S. Highway 20, and noted its impact on the status of her property. Jim Neumeister said that he had been contacted by the Boy Scouts who he said were interested in using this site as their office and main facility. He expressed frustration with the [DOT, stating they have failed for quite some time to make a decision regarding the status of their property. Staff Member Hemenway discussed the proposed rezoning, existing land use and surrounding zoning. He noted the receipt of a letter of opposition submitted by Ruth Durey of 3663 Crescent Ridge. Minutes—Zoning Advisory Commission May 7, 2014 Page 4 Staff Member Kritz reviewed the Iowa Department of Transportation process regarding the comment period required for rezonings located in the Corridor Preservation Zone. He said that he had received information from the ]DOT stating that their preliminary intent was to acquire the property but they had not made a final decision. Commissioners discussed the request. Several Commissioners noted that the request was logical and that the ultimate disposition of the IDOT property was not of concern. Motion by Hardie, seconded by Belmont, to approve the rezoning as submitted. Motion failed by lack of four affirmative votes by the following vote. Aye — Hardie, Belmont, and Norton; Nay — Henschel.

Dimensional Requirements Minimum parking stall dimensions shall be 8.5' x 18' with 24' drive aisles to accommodate two-way traffic. Accessible parking space requirements shall adhere to standard outlined in the City of Dubuque Unified Development Code (Section 14-7 Accessible Parking Space Requirements). 5. Bicycle Parking Bicycle parking shall be considered and placed in safe, convenient locations near building entrances and comply with Section 16-13-3.5.1 of the Unified Development Code. E. Loading and Service Areas The visual impact of loading and service areas on a building, site or adjacent sites and uses should be minimized. Loading and service areas are not allowed in the right-of-way or within any setbacks. 1. All loading and service areas shall be designed to: Provide access to a street or alley in a manner that will create the least possible interference with through traffic movements. No curb cut shall exceed 30 feet in width. 2. Accommodate maneuvering space to allow vehicles to access and exit the space without having to make backing movements on or into a public or private street. 3. Provide fixed lighting that prevents direct glare of beams onto any other property or street by the use of luminaire cutoffs. All lighting shall be reduced to security levels at all times of nonuse. 4. Have masonry or other screening materials that complement materials used on campus buildings, and that are effective in every season. 5. Comply with the landscape screening requirements set forth in Section F: Landscape Standards. 6. Outside storage of materials, equipment or trucks shall be kept to a minimum and located in areas that are screened from views by a permanent, solid and year round screening element. Sharing of loading, trash and utility areas between buildings shall be considered for ease of maintenance, to reduce land needed for such functions and to improve the visual quality of the Campus. 5 Mount Carmel Campus PUD Ordinance No. 9-15 F. Landscape Standards 1. General Description and Intent The natural character of the site should be preserved and enhanced as campus land use changes. Site landscaping will be designed in a naturalized pattern to complement the bluffs, ravines, and other natural features of the site, work with the architectural form of buildings, provide shade, create outdoor spaces for employees, residents and visitors, and buffer parking lots. These landscape standards build on elements of the City of Dubuque Unified Development Code to provide landscape requirements for plant material, parkways and site buffer and parking lot treatments that: Preserve or enhance the appearance and character of the property and its surroundings. Reduce noise and air pollution, Tight glare, soil erosion and solar heat gain. ■ Provide buffering between land uses and zoning districts of differing intensity. ■ Promote the preservation of existing significant vegetation. ■ Improve the appearance of parking areas and properties abutting public rights-of-way. 2. Landscape Requirements Overall Site Landscape Requirements Minimum permeable open space will be calculated at 40 percent of the entire site dedicated under review. ■ Permeable open space calculations may include easement areas, perimeter setbacks, woodlands, landscape buffers, internal roadway setbacks (parkways), and parking lot landscape. Minimum site landscape plant quantities shall be calculated at one plant per unit per 2,000 square feet of site landscape area. ■ Street trees planted in the parkway or in the public right-of-way shall not be counted toward fulfillment of the minimum site requirements for number of trees. ■ Parking lot landscape requirements shall not be counted toward fulfillment of the minimum site requirement for number of trees. 6 Mount Carmel Campus PUD Ordinance No. 9-15 • Existing trees to be retained on site may be counted toward fulfillment of the landscaping requirements. 3. Plant Units A plant unit is a measurement used to determine the quantity of plant material required for screening and shading. One plant unit is comprised of any of the following elements: • One canopy tree • Two under -story or ornamental trees • Two evergreen trees • Seven shrubs (large or small, deciduous or evergreen) Plant unit calculations establish the total quantity of required plant material while allowing the landscape architect flexibility in allocating and distributing plant material. Existing plant material protected during construction may be used to satisfy the plant material requirements provided the type and size of the plant material meets the plant material standards and the plant material is not an invasive or noxious variety. 4. Perimeter Buffer Landscape Requirements Perimeter buffer landscape will help create a transition from the adjacent residential uses on the north and west to the campus. Plant material shall consist of a variety of deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs as shown in Figure 2.1: Typical Perimeter Buffer Planting. A minimum total of three (3) plant units per 100 linear feet of buffer shall be installed. • Only required access drives and sidewalks shall break through a perimeter landscape open space. Every perimeter buffer landscape open space shall be designed and maintained to preserve unobstructed views of the street and sidewalk at points of access and to not interfere with or be damaged by work within any public utility easement, unless the City shall determine that no other location is reasonably feasible. 5. Parkway Landscape Requirements A consistently planted parkway will add to the overall Campus character by providing an appealing arrival sequence and uniform experience around, into and through the Campus. All streets shall include 2 canopy trees per 100 feet of road frontage. These trees may be located in closer proximity to each other to create clustering or massing of plant material instead of a consistent on -center planting approach as long as they are located within the roadway setback, see Figure 2.2: Typical Parkway Planting. 7 Mount Carmel Campus PUD Ordinance No. 9-15 6. Parking Lot Landscape Requirements The following are standards for the design of parking lot interior and perimeter landscape areas which build upon the standards defined in the City of Dubuque Unified Development Code. Figure 2.3: Typical Parking Lot Planting reflects a minimum treatment for a typical parking lot. Parking bays in excess of 11 spaces in length shall provide landscaped islands at the ends of each aisle. Parking bays in excess of 20 spaces in length shall be divided by intermediate landscaped islands, and provide landscaped islands at the ends of each aisle. A landscaped island for a single parking bay shall be a minimum of 9 feet wide by 18 feet long and shall contain the equivalent of two (2) plant units. A landscaped island for a double parking bay shall be a minimum of 9 feet wide by 36 feet long and shall contain the equivalent of four (4) plant units. If the required planting ratio is not obtainable in a healthy landscape environment, then the remaining plant material required by this calculation may be placed in close proximity of the parking lot. This additional area should be integrated with the parking lot perimeter landscape. All parking lot landscape areas shall be protected by raised curbs with a minimum height of 4 inches. Except for in swales, the finished grade (crown) or interior planting areas shall not be Tess than 3 inches above curb or pavement. A landscaped buffer strip shall be provided along the frontage of all surface parking areas at least 10 feet wide along the public right-of-way. The buffer strip shall be planted with a minimum of 7 plant units per 100 linear feet of buffer. Landscaped earth berms and or decorative walls and fences are permitted provided they are integrated with the landscape screening described above. The use of biofiltration methods of landscape and drainage design is encouraged. A landscaped buffer strip of at least seven feet wide shall be provided along the remaining sides of all surface parking Tots. The buffer strip shall be planted with a minimum of 5 plant units per 100 linear feet. Prior to planting, all interior areas shall be excavated to a depth of 3 feet and amended with a soil mixture consisting of 1 part screened topsoil, 1 part existing topsoil, and 2 parts of organic compost or an approved equivalent, with the exception of other soil mixtures as necessary to accommodate Low Impact Development features. This requirement may 8 Mount Carmel Campus PUD Ordinance No. 9-15 be waived upon confirmation by the City Planner that the pre-existing soil is suitable for planting and drainage, and that no amendments are necessary. • All landscaped areas that are not planted in grass shall be finished with a 3 -inch layer of mulch. 7. Intersection Visibility In accordance with the requirements of the City of Dubuque Street Tree and Landscaping on Public Right -of -Way Policy, nothing shall be erected, placed, planted, or allowed to grow in such a manner as to impede or obstruct vision between a height of 3 to 10 feet above the road crown in areas adjacent to intersecting streets, drives or alleys. This area is defined by: • Trees shall be planted at least fifty (50) feet from the edge of street intersections, traffic control lights and stop signs; • at least ten (10)feet from driveways; • and fifteen (15) feet for alleys • Trees shall be planted at least two feet from the back of curb. 8. Plant Materials Plant material used to satisfy the standards of this section shall comply with the following standards: • Unless otherwise expressly provided, all plant materials used to satisfy the requirements of this section shall meet the following minimum size. requirements: Plant Type Canopy tree Under -story or ornamental tree Evergreen tree Deciduous shrub Evergreen shrub Minimum Size 2-1/2" caliper 2" caliper or 8' height 8' height 18" height (small), 30" height (large) 24" width • Species of plant material shall require approval from the City. Plants installed to satisfy the requirements of this section shall meet or exceed the plant quality standards of the most recent edition of American Standard for Nursery Stock, published by the American Association of Nurserymen. Plants shall be capable of withstanding the extremes of individual microclimates. • All required landscape areas not dedicated to trees, shrubs, or preservation of existing vegetation shall be landscaped with grass, ground 9 Mount Carmel Campus PUD Ordinance No. 9-15 cover, or other landscape treatment, not including sand, rock, or pavement. • For each plant type associated with the landscape requirements of this section, no single plant species shall represent more than 40% of the total plantings. • Plant material shall be installed so it relates to the natural environment and habitat in which it is placed. Native vegetation shall be utilized in all instances unless site conditions or availability of species warrant the use of cultivars or similar materials compatible with the area. The scale and nature of landscape material should be appropriate to the site and structures. For example, larger scaled buildings should be complemented by larger scaled plants. Plant material should be selected for its form, texture, color and concern for its ultimate growth. 9. Tree Survey and Preservation Plan As part of any development plan submission, a tree survey shall be conducted by a certified arborist. The survey shall delineate the limits of all vegetated woodland areas on site. All specimen trees not located in vegetated woodland areas that measure 8" or greater at Direct Breast Height (DBH) shall be tagged, identified and recorded. Based on this tree survey, all trees in below average or poor condition, of a noxious species, or that measure less than 8" DBH can be removed from the property at the discretion of the owner to assist in providing a healthier growing environment for the existing tree stands. The tree inventory shall rate tree condition and form as follows: ■ 5 — POOR CONDITION: A rating of 5 shall be given to a tree that has a significant deadwood, bad sweep or lean, disease or damage by insect pests or larvae, lightning damage, split, or other physical damage. ■ 4 — BELOW AVERAGE CONDITION: A rating of 4 shall be given to a tree that has some deadwood, minor sweep or lean, distorted shape, trunk of bark damage, multiple stems, or poor physical quality. ■ 3 — FAIR CONDITION: A rating of 3 shall be given to a tree that is average in condition, form, physical state, appearance and health. ■ 2 — ABOVE AVERAGE: A rating of 2 shall be given to a tree that has little or no damage, sound, good shape and form, and is good in overall physical quality. 10 Mount Carmel Campus PUD Ordinance No. 9-15 1 — EXCELLENT CONDITION: A rating of 1 shall be given to a tree that is excellent in appearance, condition and form, balanced branching and healthy. The following tree species identified are considered noxious: ■ Buckthorn The following tree species identified are considered undesirable: • Box Elder ■ Siberian Elm • White Mulberry The preservation of existing healthy trees and natural landscape features on a site is encouraged. The number of new plant materials may be reduced when existing trees of a desirable species in a healthy growing condition are preserved within the area of the perimeter landscape or open space. Credit for the preservation of existing trees 8 inches in caliper (deciduous or 8 feet in height (evergreen) shall be as follows, but in no instance shall a developer or property owner receive greater than a maximum of 50% credit towards the number of required trees: Size of Preserved Tree Tree Credit 1 canopy or under -story tree, 6" to 12" caliper 1 evergreen tree or multi -stem under -story tree, 6'-12' 3 trees 1 canopy or under -story tree, 12" to 30" caliper 1 evergreen tree or multi -stem under -story tree, more than 12' height 4 trees 1 canopy tree or under -story tree, more than 30" caliper 5 trees 10. Vegetative Woodland Preservation Wooded areas 2 acres in size or larger, or groves of trees with 10 or more individual trees having a diameter of at least 12 inches and a canopy cover of at least 50 percent of the area encompassed by the trees shall be delineated on the submitted plans. Such woodlands shall have 20% retention protected. All woodland areas retained must have a buffer of 50' from the trunks of trees to be preserved, to protect the trees. If the City determines that a required woodland area cannot be retained due to site constraints or infrastructure requirements, replacement trees must be planted at a rate of one tree for every 200 square feet of woodland removed from the retention area. When that is not feasible, mitigation may take place by planting supplemental trees at an off-site woodland approved by the City. Exceptions 11 Mount Carmel Campus PUD Ordinance No. 9-15 With the incorporation of Best Management Practices (BMPs), Low Impact Development practices (LIDs) or other Sustainable Design practices into the project, the required landscaping may be reduced or arranged in a manner that will enhance the design concept at the discretion of the City of Dubuque. Considerations shall include the following: Swales or bio -filters placed in islands or at the perimeter of parking areas, designed to improve the filtration and quality of stormwater runoff. Proposals to modify the type or quantity of landscape materials may be allowed in exchange for the installation of plant species such as native trees, shrubs, grass or perennials that will enhance the filtering capacity of the site and promote the use of diverse native species. ■ Proposed swales or filters using a structural pervious surface may be used for parking or drive aisles provided such features are designed to withstand vehicular loads. G. ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS All buildings shall have a balanced, integrated design theme that strives to incorporate solid architecture that fits within a Campus -wide character. 1. Building Scale and Massing The size and orientation of buildings is critical to achieving a balanced overall Campus design. The following items shall be addressed to achieve appropriate scale and massing. ■ Rather than single, large building masses, buildings shall be clustered together where feasible to promote efficient street/driveway systems, shared parking, integrated open spaces and pedestrian linkages between buildings. ■ Where feasible, buildings and main entries shall be located along the Campus Loop Road to foster a welcoming pedestrian environment. In no instance shall a building's rear entrance or service area be oriented towards the Loop Road or internal access drives. ■ Building orientation and design elements shall encourage overall visual continuity. ■ To the greatest extent possible buildings shall be oriented to take advantage of natural Tight view sheds and passive solar opportunities. 2. Architectural Styles and Building Materials & Colors 12 Mount Carmel Campus PUD Ordinance No. 9-15 Architectural styles should be carefully balanced and coordinated with the style, materials, color and massing of other buildings seen throughout the Campus. • A balance of proportions and scale through vertical and horizontal rhythm and facade articulation should be set. • Unarticulated, flat front buildings are prohibited. • A building's main entrance should be clearly defined within the facade. • Building projections shall be pedestrian -scaled and proportional to the building facade. • Structures should be consistent with residential scale and articulation, especially on street facing elevations. 3. Building Materials A range of acceptable building materials shall be considered to enhance architectural interest and Campus character. All new buildings should be constructed with a blend of high quality materials such as masonry (brick and stone) and wood. Limited amount of "glass skin" or decorative stucco may be considered if they are considered accent materials rather than primary materials. In addition, a limited amount of cement board siding may be used in combination with other approved materials if it is an accent rather than primary material. Since all future Campus buildings will be highly visible from roads, access drives and open space, architecture should be complete and wrap all four sides of the building. Primary building materials used on the front or main building facade shall be continued on the side and rear facades. The number of materials on any exterior building face should be limited to no more than three to avoid clutter and visual overload. The following building materials shall not be used as exterior building materials or on any exterior walls: Concrete finishes or precast concrete panels (tilt wall) that are not exposed aggregate, hammered, sandblasted or covered with a cement -based acrylic coating. Metal panels with a depth of less than 1 inch or a thickness less than US Standard 26 gauge. 13 Mount Carmel Campus PUD Ordinance No. 9-15 Mirrored glass with a reflectance greater than 40% shall not cover more than 40% of exterior walls. 4. Building Colors The use of a limited range of neutral or natural colors is encouraged. Building colors shall be compatible with the Campus character and subtly enhance a building's visual appeal. • Natural colors and complementary colors shall be used for primary building facades and roof forms. Neutral earth tones (beige to brown), shades of gray, traditional colors (brick red, dark green, navy blue) or Light, subdued hues are acceptable. • Contrasting accent colors, which are compatible with the colors listed above, are acceptable for secondary facades or accent colors or details. • Primary, bright or excessively brilliant colors are prohibited unless used in very limited applications for subtle trim accents or specifically for art/sculptural elements of a building. • Building facade colors should be kept to two or three colors or hues of individual colors. The color of visible roof forms should also be considered when selecting colors. 5. Sustainable Design Principles Best management practices for efficient and sustainable development shall be taken into consideration.

SIGN STANDARDS 1. Sign Standards a. Purpose The purpose of these sign standards is to maintain and enhance the aesthetic environment, maintain pedestrian and traffic safety and minimize the distractions, hazards and obstructions caused by signs, and to minimize the possible adverse effects of signs on nearby public and private property. b. Sign Area, Height and Number The size, height, and number of allowed signs shall be regulated by Article 15-1t13 of the Unified Development Code unless further regulated by the PUD Ordinance. c. Prohibited Signs Pylon, rooftop, neon, internally illuminated awnings, fabric banners, official flags of nations, states, or political subdivisions thereof, wooden, and electronic message center signs are prohibited. d. Sign Lighting Sign illumination shall comply with the following requirements: • Illumination of a sign within 100 feet of and visible from any property zoned Residential shall be extinguished between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. every day. • Traffic signs shall comply with MUTCD regulations. e. Location and Scale • Signs shall not obstruct significant architectural details or elements, including windows and doorways. • All ground -mounted signs shall be placed within planting areas that are coordinated in design for the overall site. f. Text and Materials Text on all signs shall be simple and easy to read. It is important that all message wording be selected to maximize information being conveyed while using the most concise vocabulary. A sign with a brief, succinct 15 Mount Carmel Campus PUD Ordinance No. 9-15 message is more user-friendly, and will have a cleaner look. All directional lettering shall be a mix of upper and lower case lettering with the first letter of every word capitalized. Avoid spacing letters too close together as crowding will make the sign more difficult to read. Signs shall be constructed of high-quality, durable materials. Brick and mortar or natural stone bases are to be constructed with materials that complement the building architecture. g. Exceptions Home address or family name plaques are excluded from the above requirements. h. Exterior Graphics or Art Painting of garage doors with multiple colors or designs is prohibited. All garage doors shall be one color, with a second color allowed for accents only. I. Performance Standards The development and maintenance of uses in this PUD District shall be established in conformance with the following standards. 1. Platting: Subdivision plats and improvement plans shall be submitted in accordance with Article 11. Land Subdivision, of the City of Dubuque Unified Development Code. 2. Site Plans: Final site development plans shall be submitted in accordance with Article 12 Site Plans and Article 13 Site Design Standards prior to construction of each building and vehicle -related feature unless otherwise exempted by Article 12. 3. Storm Water Conveyance: The developer of each lot shall be responsible for providing surface or subsurface conveyance(s) of storm water from the lot to existing storm sewers or to flow line of open drainage ways outside the lot in a means that is satisfactory to the Engineering Department of the City of Dubuque. Other applicable regulations enforced by the City of Dubuque relative to storm water management and drainage shall apply to properties in the PUD District. 4. Noises: Noises generated within the PUD District shall be regulated by Chapter 33, Article IV, Noises, of the City of Dubuque Code of Ordinances. 5. Phased construction of buildings and parking spaces: The construction of off- street parking spaces may be phased in proportion to the percentage of total 16 Mount Carmel Campus PUD Ordinance No. 9-15 building floor area constructed at any one time. Ground area set aside for future parking, loading spaces or driveways or for parking provided in excess of the minimum required number of parking spaces shall not reduce the minimum required area for open space. 6. Other Codes and Regulations: These regulations do not relieve an owner from other applicable City, County, State or Federal Codes, regulations, laws and other controls relative to the planning, construction, operation and management of property in the PUD District. J. Transfer of Ownership Transfer of ownership or lease of property in this PUD District shall include in the transfer or lease agreement a provision that the purchaser or lessee acknowledges awareness of the conditions authorizing the establishment of the district. K. Modifications Any modifications of this Ordinance must be approved by the City Council in accordance with zoning reclassification proceedings of Article 9-5 of the Unified Development Code. Section 3. The foregoing amendment has heretofore been reviewed by the Zoning Advisory Commission of the City of Dubuque, Iowa. Section 4.
