Zoning Advisory Commission | May 6, 2026

The City of Dubuque Zoning Advisory Commission held a meeting on May 6, 2026, primarily focused on zoning and land use matters. Key procurement-related discussions included two rezoning requests: one for 1836 Washington Street to allow construction of a contractor shop by rezoning from R2A to C4, and another for multiple parcels at 101 Airborne Road to rezone to Heavy Industrial with conditions to facilitate future landfill cell expansion by the Dubuque Metropolitan Area Solid Waste Agency. The commission approved motions recommending both rezoning requests to the city council, which will consider them on May 18, 2026. Additionally, a text amendment was approved to permit community gardens in all office, commercial, and industrial zoning districts, expanding opportunities for urban agriculture. The meeting also included recognition of a long-serving commissioner and a brief discussion on city council goal setting, with no direct procurement actions. Overall, the meeting addressed zoning changes that support local development and solid waste management infrastructure expansion.
