A. The city council finds that several factors distinguish institutions from other land use activities. The most significant feature of institutions is their tendency to function as substantially separate communities within the city. They maintain a large and definable resident population within a more or less discrete geographical area. Typically, a broad range of essential living services and facilities are provided by the institutions internally for both its resident and transitory populations. A second common feature of institutions is a primary educational, medical, religious, or charitable purpose. This distinguishes them from commercial nursing homes, hotels, boarding houses, and similar uses.
B. The ID institutional district is intended to address the particular problems and characteristics of Dubuque's many institutional facilities. It is the intent of this title that this district shall only be applied to facilities possessing the characteristics of an institutional use set forth in this section 16-5-22.
C. It is further the intent of this title that, because of the very substantial impact institutional uses may have upon the surrounding community, no expansion of an existing ID district will be permitted except in accordance with the provisions of this section 16-5-22, which requires a conceptual development plan to be filed and approved prior to institutional reclassification or substantial on premises expansions. (Ord. 52-09, 10-19-2009)
