C1
Conservancy District
The C-1 Conservancy District is intended to provide open space for active and/or passive recreation; to protect and conserve natural, historic, or cultural resources; to provide habitat for wildlife; to prevent development in environmentally sensitive locations such as bluffs, wetlands, floodplains, and drainage ways; to serve as a buffer between differing land uses; and to provide natural beauty in an urban environment. The Conservancy District is where minimal development is desirable and any rezoning of C-1 Conservancy to another district must first be reviewed by the Dubuque County Conservation Board for their recommendation before the public hearing with the Zoning Board.
