Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
The City of Dubuque Zoning Advisory Commission has reviewed the above-cited
request. The application, staff report and related materials are attached for your review.
Discussion
The applicant's representative spoke in favor of the request, noting the rezoning is a
down zoning from R-2 Two-Family to R-1 Single-Family Residential District.
Staff reviewed the surrounding zoning and land use, and noted rezoning is also
intended to facilitate the keeping of horses as part of a prospective land sale. Staff
noted the location of the subject 13-acre parcel in the subdivision.
There were no public comments.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request and found that it was
appropriate.
Recommendation
By a vote of 4 to 0, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends that the City Council
approve the request.
A simple majority vote is needed for the City Council to approve the request.
Respectfully submitted,

Proposed Land Use: Residential
Existing Land Use: Residential
Proposed Zoning: R-1
Existing Zoning: R-2
Adjacent Land Use: North -Residential Adjacent Zoning: North - R-2
East - R-2 East - R-1
South -Residential South - AG
West -Residential West - AG
Former Zoning: 1934 -County; 1975 - AG; 1985 - AG Total Area: 12.7 acres
Property History: The subject property was rezoned from AG Agricultural District to R-2
Two-Family Residential District in October 2005 with the intent to develop the Timber-
Hyrst Estates Subdivision.
Physical Characteristics: The subject property is characterized by wooded hillsides and
areas of flood plain associated with Catfish Creek.
Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The Future Land Use Map 2030 designates
the property for multi-family use. The request involves the Comprehensive Plan's Land
Use Element Goals 1.1, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8 and 9.7.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: Existing utilities are adequate to serve the site.
Traffic Patterns/Counts: Manson Road provides access to the subdivision while
Creek Wood Drive provides access to the lots in Phase 1 of Timber-Hyrst Estates
Subdivision.
Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the site.
Zoning Agenda: September 5, 2007
Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impact to the environment
provided adequate erosion control and storm water control is provided during all
phases of development.
Rezoning Staff Report -Creek Wood Drive
Page 2
Adjacent Properties: Adjacent properties should not be impacted by the proposed
rezoning from R-2 to R-1, as it will reduce the potential number of units that can be
built.
CIP Investments: None proposed.
Staff Analysis: The requested rezoning of the 12.7 acres of land is from R-2 Two-
Family Residential District to R-1 Single-Family Residential District and is intended to
facilitate the sale of the subject properties and allow the keeping of horses on the
subject parcels.
The City of Dubuque Zoning Ordinance allows the keeping of horses as a conditional
use in the R-1 Single-Family Residential district only. When the text amendment was
proposed to allow the keeping of horses on larger single-family residential lots, City staff
had only received requests for parcels zoned R-1. Most areas zoned R-2, R-3 or R-4 at
the time were subdivided into smaller parcels that would not be conducive for the
keeping of horses.
The proposed property to be rezoned to R-1 Single-Family Residential District includes
Lots 29, 30 and Lot E of Timber Hyrst Estates. These lots are located along the CatFish
Creek with Lot E being part of the designated flood plain area. A copy of the approved
preliminary plat is attached.
Staff does not anticipate any significant impact to the surrounding property as the
rezoning represents a down zoning and will also require that a conditional use permit be
approved by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. In addition, the subject property is
buffered from other adjacent parcels, and most of the surrounding property is zoned
either R-1 Single-Family Residential District or AG Agricultural District.
Staff recommends that the Zoning Advisory Commission review Section 6-1.1 of the
Zoning Ordinance that establishes criteria for review of rezoning requests.
