16-6-6-4: Applicability
Areas designated as rural residential overlay districts (RROD) shall be identified on the official zoning map. The overlay zoning district designation supplements, but does not replace the underlying AG agriculture zoning district except as otherwise provided herein. (Ord. 52-09, 10-19-2009)
At the time of approval of an application for an R-1 single- family residential subdivision the underlying AG agriculture zoning classification on the subdivision shall automatically cease, and the regulations of the R-1 single-family residential district shall apply. The city planner shall remove the existing underlying AG agriculture zoning district from the official zoning map at the next regular updating thereof, and establish R-1 single-family residential district, as set forth in section 16-5-2 of this title, as the new zoning district for the property. (Ord. 52-09, 10-19-2009)
Any person may request a reclassification of property within this overlay district to the original underlying zoning district or any other zoning district listed in section 16-5-1-4 of this title. The procedure for such a reclassification shall be that established by section 16-9-5 of this title. The overlay district shall be replaced by the new zoning district. (Ord. 52-09, 10-19-2009)
It is recognized that in addition to height restrictions in other sections of this title, certain areas shall need to be further restricted in terms of height of structures or natural objects. Such restrictions are necessary for emergency communication transmission and reception and other legitimate public safety concerns. (Ord. 52-09, 10-19-2009)
A. Areas designated as restricted height overlay district (RHOD) shall be identified on the official zoning map.
B. The overlay zoning district designation supplements, but does not replace the underlying zoning district except as otherwise provided herein.
C. Such designation shall not affect usage of the property within the parameters of its zoning classification except that no structure shall be allowed to exceed the height above sea level specified in section 16-6-2-2 of this chapter. (Ord. 52-09, 10-19-2009)
The following areas shall be designated as RHO districts, within which the following height limits shall be observed:
A. A strip of land one hundred feet (100') wide from the communication tower at Sunnycrest care facility to the communication tower at the Peosta water tower, insofar as said strip of land exists within the corporate limits of the city. The maximum height allowed in this corridor shall be one thousand feet (1,000') above mean sea level as determined by a qualified engineer licensed under the laws of the state of Iowa.
B. A strip of land one hundred feet (100') wide extending a point which is six hundred seventy feet (670') above mean sea level at the Dubuque Law Enforcement Center to a point which is nine hundred thirty feet (930') above mean sea level at Sunnycrest Manor in which no structure may be built to a height exceeding the relative height of a line drawn between these two (2) elevations. The maximum height allowed in this corridor shall be determined by a qualified engineer licensed under the laws of the state of Iowa. (Ord. 52-09, 10-19-2009)
