SUMMARY, ACTION REQUESTED, AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Dubuque County Planning and Zoning Department has provided input regarding this proposed rezoning. The A-2 Agricultural Residential district is reserved for instances where the farm house and buildings are being split from the remaining agricultural land, or for someone who wants to live in the rural areas of Dubuque County and ensure that surrounding agricultural land uses continue. The applicants will continue to engage with the farm operation and ensure its continued operation well into the future.

Applicants request motion to approve ZC# 02-05-26, which rezones 2.551 acres from A-1 Agricultural to A-2 Agricultural Residential on behalf of Steve and Dawn Wilwert. Zoning Department staff recommends approval with the following conditions:

no additional development shall occur on the remainder of Lot 1 of Wilwert Farm Subdivision unless first rezoned to a residential district.
