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.
Commissioner Henschel excused himself from the table.
Discussion
The applicant spoke in favor of the request, reviewing that the rezoning will facilitate the
construction of an access to University Avenue opposite Atlantic Street in compliance
with City Engineering requirements. In addition, the rezoning will allow Holy Trinity
Church to build a new maintenance building and additional off-street parking.
Staff reviewed the staff report, noting that the rezoning would facilitate the development
of the adjacent parcel for a Laundromat and ensure that the access to University
Avenue complies with the established City Code for access to public streets.
A representative of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church spoke in support of the rezoning. No
other public comments were received.
The Zoning Advisory Commission discussed the request, and felt the rezoning would be
compatible with surrounding property and complete the transformation of this triangle-
shaped property bordered by Delhi Street, University and North Grandview Avenue.
Recommendation
By a vote of 4 to 0 with one abstention, the Zoning Advisory Commission recommends
that the City Council approve the request.

Kyle Kritz- Zoning Change for 1730 University

Subject: Zoning Change for 1730 University
CC: JoAnn Kopp<holytrinluth@gmail.com>
Kyle,
As we discussed, Holy Trinity Lutheran Church (HTLC) would like to piggy back the zoning change of 1730
university owned by HTLC onto the requested change of 1710 University from R2 to C1 (? I believe). The request
would relate to the future planned use by HTLC for a new maintenance garage and some additional over flow
parking. The timing of this project is not and the near term and will be determined in the future. Let me know
if you need any more information.
Thanks,
John Chesterman
President Chuurch Council
Holy Trinity Lutheran Church

STAFF REPORT Zoning Agenda: April 6, 2016
Property Address: 1710 and 1730 University Avenue
Property Owner: Holy Trinity Lutheran Church
Applicant: Thomas Tiefenthaler
Proposed Land Use: Commercial/Parking Proposed Zoning: C-2
Existing Land Use: Vacant Existing Zoning: R-2
Adjacent Land Use: North — Residential/Fire Station Adjacent Zoning: North — R-2
East —Vacant East — C-2
South — Religious Assembly South — R-2
West — Religious Assembly/Residential West — R-2
Former Zoning: 1934 — Two-Family Total Area: 7,900 sq. ft.
1975 — R-3
1985 — R-2
Property History: The subject parcels were developed for residential dwellings between
1900 and 1930 when the street was named Julien Avenue. Recently all of the
residential structures have been removed from the subject property and the adjacent
property.
Physical Characteristics: The property is an approximately 8,000 square foot triangular
lot with 130 feet of frontage along University Avenue and 150 feet of adjacency along a
platted public alley. The property slopes slightly with approximately 8 feet of grade
change between the high point along the alley to University Avenue.
Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The 2030 Future Land Use Map designates
the area for single and two-family residential dwellings.
Impact of Request on:
Utilities: Existing utilities are adequate to serve the site.
Traffic Patterns/Counts: Based on 2013 IDOT traffic counts, there are 6,000
average daily trips along this section of University Avenue and 6,600 average daily
trips along North Grandview Avenue.
Rezoning Staff Report — 1710 & 1730 University Ave. Page 2
Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the property.
Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impact to the environment
provided erosion control is provided during all phases of development, and storm
water management complies with adopted City Codes and Policies.
Adjacent Properties: The subject property, if rezoned to C-2 Neighborhood
Shopping Center District, would likely increase traffic, activity and generate
additional ambient light. However, the property backs up to commercial
development and a church parking lot and is separated from residential
development by the 64 foot wide University Avenue right-of-way.
CIP Investments: None proposed.
Staff Analysis: The applicant is requesting to rezone two parcels of property located at
1710 & 1730University Avenue from R-2 Two-Family Residential to C-2 Neighborhood
Shopping Center District. The subject property is an approximately 8,000 square foot
triangular shaped lot located at the southeast corner of a platted public alley and
University Avenue. The property has approximately 130 feet of frontage along
University Avenue to the north and 150 feet of adjacency with a recently completed
green alley to the south. Most of the houses on the south side of University in this
block have been removed or are being removed and the three adjacent lots to the east
were recently rezoned to C-2 to accommodate a proposed commercial development.
The property has been used for residential purposes since its development prior to the
1930s. The residential structures on these lots have recently been removed. The
applicant has indicated his intention is to purchase a portion of the subject property to
create an access and possible additional parking for the proposed commercial
development to the east. Because of its size and shape staff does not anticipate that
redevelopment of these lots for parking or commercial purposes will generate
appreciable traffic or activity over and above that generated by the adjacent commercial
property when developed.
The C-2 Neighborhood Shopping Center District includes 21 principle permitted uses as
well as 9 conditional uses. If rezoned, the subject property can be used for any of the
allowed uses, provided adequate off-street parking can be provided. A copy of the
district regulations are attached to this staff report.
If the requested rezoning is approved, a site plan prepared by a licensed civil engineer
must be reviewed and approved prior to any construction. An approved site plan
demonstrates that a new parking lot or commercial building will comply with City
regulations for street access, storm water management, utility connections, parking and
landscaping.
