The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
City of Dubuque
City Hall— 50 W. 13'6 Street
DubuquelA 52001
Applicant: Chris Miller
Location: 210 Jones Street
Description: To rezone property from C-4 Downtown Commercial to C-3 General Commercial
for climate-controlled storage and commercial/retail use.
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, indicating the rezoning was
necessary to facilitate development of climate-controlled storage and retail space.
Staff reviewed the staff report, reviewing property history, allowed uses in the C-3 District,
noting that C-4 zoning does not allow storage uses while C-3 does. Staff reviewed changes to
surrounding uses and street patterns as a result of the construction of Freeway 61/151. Staff
reviewed off-street parking.
There were no public comments.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, and inquired about access to the
building. The applicant replied there was an existing loading dock. Commissioners felt the
rezoning would facilitate the adaptive re-use of the building.
Recommendation
By a vote of 5 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,
Y x_
Patrick Norton, Chairperson
Zoning Advisory Commission

REZONING STAFF REPORT Zoning Agenda: March 2, 2016
Property Address: 210 Jones Street
Property Owner: 210 Jones, LLC
Applicant: Chris Miller
Proposed Land Use: Commercial Proposed Zoning: C-3
Existing Land Use: Vacant Existing Zoning: C-4
Adjacent Land Use: North — Public park Adjacent Zoning: North — LI
East— Industrial East — LI
South — Industrial South — LI
West — Commercial West — POS/C-3
Former Zoning: 1934 — LI Total Area: 0.614 acres
1975 — LI
1985 — LI
Property History: The subject property has been used for industrial-type uses since its
construction. Most recently, it was used by Disco Home Improvement.
Physical Characteristics: The approximately % acre site is flat and is bordered on the
north by Jones Street, to the east by Harrison Street, and to west by Bimbo Baking
Company. This property is also highly visible from the Locust Street Connector that
connects to Highway 20 and 61/151 thru this portion of downtown.
Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The subject request involves the following
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Elements: Goals 2.1, 2.2, 5.2, 7.2, and 7.3. The 2030
Future Land Use Map for this area designates the property for Heavy Industrial.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: Existing utilities are adequate to serve the site.
Traffic Patterns/Counts: There are no vehicle counts for Harrison or Jones Streets.
The section of Locust Street west of the subject property carries approximately
28,600 vehicle trips per day, while the Jones Street Connector immediately east of
the subject property carries approximately 20,300 vehicle trips per day.
Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the property.
Rezoning Staff Report — 210 Jones Street Page 2
Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impact to the environment as
the proposed site is almost completely covered with the existing building and
paving. Any changes to the zoning of this site will have minimal impact on the
environment.
Adjacent Properties: Staff does not anticipate any significant impacts to adjacent
property. Most likely impact from rezoning the site to commercial would be an
increase in the number of vehicle trips into this area.
CIP Investments: None proposed.
Staff Analysis: The applicant is requesting to rezone the property at 210 Jones
Streets from C-4 Downtown Commercial District to C-3 General Commercial District.
The property was rezoned from LI Light Industrial to C-4 Downtown Commercial District
in June 2006. The property is located adjacent to Locust Street and the Locust Street
Connector in downtown Dubuque. The subject building is a two-story brick structure
that is highly visible from the surrounding highway and streets. .
The applicants are requesting the change in zoning from C-4 Downtown Commercial to
C-3 General Commercial to facilitate the conversion of a portion of the building to
indoor storage. According to City records, the subject property was zoned LI Light
Industrial until its rezoning in 2006 to C-4 Downtown Commercial. Prior to the
construction of the freeway in the 1980s, there was a mix of commercial businesses
surrounding the property that were removed as part of freeway construction. The area
is currently a mixture of C-3, C-4, and LI zoned properties. I have attached a portion of
the City's Zoning Map that depicts the zoning in the surrounding area.
The subject building is adjacent to the Bimbo Baking Company located immediately
east of the site, with loading facilities for the baking company immediately south of the
subject property. Access to this site from Jones Street is by way of Highway 61/151.
Traffic counts for Harrison Street on the building's west site and on Jones Street on the
building's east side are not available, but are low given the need to access the area
from Highway 61/151 freeway.
Planning staff recommends the Zoning Advisory Commission review the criteria
established in Article 9-5 of the Unified Development Code regarding property
reclassification applications.
