Zoning Advisory Commission | July 1, 2026

The City of Dubuque Zoning Advisory Commission held a meeting on July 1, 2026, primarily focused on zoning and land use matters. Key procurement-related discussions included a minor subdivision request for a property at 11838 Lorelei Lane, where the commission approved a waiver for street frontage requirements to allow the subdivision of a 40-acre parcel into two lots. This approval will be forwarded to the City Council for final consideration on July 20, 2026. Another significant agenda item was a rezoning request for three parcels along Valeria Street from R1 (single-family) to R2A (two-family residential) to facilitate the development of duplexes. The commission discussed concerns raised by residents about traffic, parking, and potential density, clarifying that the rezoning would limit development to duplexes with off-street parking and that any future subdivision or development would require additional approvals. The commission unanimously recommended approval of the rezoning, which will also proceed to the City Council on July 20, 2026. Additionally, staff provided updates on ongoing efforts to revise the unified development code, aiming to clarify and modernize zoning regulations. No direct contract awards or procurement actions were reported during the meeting.
