Downtown Dubuque, located between the Mississippi Riverfront and the Bluff Street Historic District, is a historic and walkable Dubuque neighborhood with brick warehouse blocks and a working riverfront. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around 4th Street and Main Street, where galleries, coffee counters, supper clubs, and small storefronts keep the sidewalks active. The National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium anchors the river edge with civic-scale architecture and public promenades. The Five Flags Center and the Dubuque Museum of Art add a steady calendar of performances and exhibitions. Upper Main’s preserved facades and loft conversions shape a streetscape of cast-iron details, tall windows, and corner taverns. The Fenelon Place Elevator stitches downtown to the bluffs, turning steep topography into part of daily movement.

The OR district is intended to serve as a transition zone between commercial and single- and two-family residential areas permitting adaptive reuse of existing building stock, which will normally be residential in character. This OR district is not intended to have any application in undeveloped or newly developing areas of the city or on land made vacant through intentional demolition. Development standards remain flexible to allow conservation and reuse of existing buildings. This district should be located in areas abutting arterial and/or collector streets which are because of location and trends, suitable for development of low intensity office uses and high intensity residential uses.
