Each lot fronts onto Hudson Avenue and Is occupied by a restdentlal dwelling. The lots are separated from Iltghway I by a two-lot tract which has been developed for sin- gle-fAmily residential use. Owners of this property, which abuts the subject lots to the south, do not wish their land rezoned to tho CC-2 zone. The applicants also own the property llII11edlately east of the two lots under consideration. This CC-2 zoned parcel has been developed for cOlll11erclal purposes, The property is currently occupied by SCAndinavian Interiors, Western World and Paul's Discount. The drtve serving 1016 Hudson Avenue has also, from time to time, been used to Access this cOlll11erclal development, The RanshAws have been advised by the City that the drive serving the residential use could not be used as a means of accessing cOlll11erclal uses.

RezonIng the prop. erty from RS.8 to CC.2 would allO\l redevelopment of the lots for any of the uses permItted In the Community CommercIal (CC.2) zone. AI/ALYSlS The approprlatenoss of a rezonIng request must be evaluated In terms of Its consistency with the land use pOlicIes for tho gonoral area established In the City's Comprehensive Plan and with the land m relatIonshIps that May develop as a result of rezonIng tho property, The followIng analysIs consld. ers these two factors. ComprehensIve Plan: The maps presented In the ComprehensIve Plan outlIne In a general fashIon the locatIon of different land uses. The zoning map, on the other hand, sets forth the uses and densitIes of use possIble on any partIcular sIte. The ComprehensIve Plan maps are Interpreted wIth flexIbIl- Ity at the boundarIes of the desIgnated uses to Allow approprIAte transItIons between areas. The short- and long-range development plans for the CIty IndIcate that the subject parcels are located In an area thAt Is encouraged to develop for commercIal purposes., ThIs commercIal area Is IdentIfIed as a strIp along the northern and southern sIdes of HIghway 1 West from RIversIde Drive westerly to encompass exlstfng conmerclal uses west of Hiller Avenue, The short-range plan specIfIcally notes that the propertIes under consldera. tlon, as well as parcels to the east, south and west should be reserved for general commercIal land use; zoning classificatIons east and west of the subject parcels and south of Highway 1\ reflect that type of zonIng, The site Imedlately west of the 1016 Hudson Avenue parcel has, until ,'e- cently, been owned and used by the Iowa Department of TransportatIon (lOOT) as a maIntenance facilIty, Iowa City LandscapIng wishes to purchase the property to relOCAte Its exIstIng plant nursery to thIs sIte, An applicatIon to rezone this land from the P, PublIc zone, and the RS.8 zone to the CI-\, IntensIve Conmerclal zone, IG presently before the CouncIl. The lot west of the 1014 Hudson Avenue parco 1 Is occupIed by accessory structures whIch serve the abuttIng resIdentIal use. The area north of the lots under consIderatIon Is fully developed as a sIngle-famIly resIdentIal neighborhood and Is recog- nized by the ComprehenSive Plan for residentIal land use at a density of 2.8 dwellIng unIts per acre, The land use polley that encourages commercIal development along the hIghway presumes that exposure to the effects of hIghway trafffc are desIrable for commercIal actIvItIes and less desIrable for most types of resIdentIal uses. The visIbility commercIal uses rely upon and the ease with whIch large num. bers of people can access an area are characterIstIcs that suit commercial actIvItIes but are generally not sought for resIdential development, Based upon thIs land use polIcy, the ComprehensIve Plan, therefore, encourages the eventual development of property withIn close proxImity of the hIghway for commerc la 1 purposes. Hudson Avenue, however, was developed as a res Ident la 1 neIghborhood, ResIdentIal uses contInue to be the predomInant land use In the block. Other than the lOOT property at the southwestern extremIty of the neIghborhood, all other propertIes are occupIed by resIdentIal dwellIngs. City records IndIcate that a majority of the dwellIngs are owner.occupled. There Is no evIdence to IndIcate that the resIdentIal character of the neIgh. borhood Is dlmln Ish InO to encourage commerc I a 1 development In the southern portIon of the block at thIs tIme. I ! ! i i I I I . II I : I I I , , ; I , , ! 1 - i i I i : I /~:L Cl ~l b S b 3 land Use Relationships: The effects of rezoning a parcel on adjacent land uses must be taken Into consideration, The applicants have not Indicated how they Intend to use the property If It Is rezoned, lIowmr, In evaluating the Impact the proposed rezoning will hAve on neighboring properties, It Is necessary to consider all the uses permItted In the zone under consIderatIon and Ifhether they will h.~e a deleterious effect on adjacent propert las that cannot be ameliorated. The COI!l1lUnlty Conmerclal Zone (CC-2) Is Intended to provide for buslnoss districts that serve a major segnent of the total conmunlty population, In addition to b variety of retall gOOds And services, these centers may typl- ca l1y featuro a large number of traffic generators that require accoss from major thoroughfares, such as Illghway I. IIhlle these centers are usually characterized by Indoor operations, certain permitted uses may hAve limited outdoor activities as wol1. The uses permitted will most likely generate some truck traffic and the hours of operation of these bus Inoss centers usually mimic those of other large retail traffic generators, The two lots under consideration have no frontage along IIlghway I, are only accessible via lIudson Avenue and are nestled between residential uses to the north and south. Redevelopment of the Ranshaw property for conmerc lal pur- poses would hm the g'eAtest Impact on the residential use to the south. This property would be Isolated from all other residential uses and would be exposed to Increased traffic and to conmerclal activities on all sides. IIh lie the Comprehens Ive Plan reconmends conmerc la 1 use for the property to the south, the owners of this slngle.famlly residential rental use object to efforts to rezone this land citing Increased exposure by residential proper- ties to cmerclal activities and denegratlon of the Hiller/Orchard lIelghbor- hood, an older, low. and moderate-Income residential neighborhood eligible for COI!l1lUnlty Development Block Grant (CoDG) assistance. Even though these owners are aware that rezoning this propertr to CC-2 would not preclude them from leas Ing the structure as a dwelling the property would be regarded a legal, non-conforming use In the CC-2 zone, they Object to the effects of exposing the residential neighborhood to additional commercial uses, The performance standards of Section 36-76 of the Zoning Ordinance would be required In an effort to moderate the Impact of com"erclal activities on al1 adjacent residential uses. At a minimum, all residential uses would have to be screened from a conmerclal use developed on the property by an arbor vitae hedge reaching at least six feet at maturity. In this particular case, Insofar as ruldentlal uses are located to the north, south and west of the subject property, screening would be required along the northern, southern, and a portion of the western property lines of this tract. Smoke, partlcu. late matter, toxic matter, .odor, vibration, glare and open storage are also addressed In these standards and would be Imposed on any commercial use developed on the site. F.astbound traffic leaving the Western World/Paul's Discount complex experi- ences dlfftculty entering onto IItghway I. If the two lots on lIudson Avenue are rezoned and Integrated with this existing commercial complex, It Is possible that traffic leaving this business center would be encouraged to exit to points north and east via lIudson Avenue, thereby Increasing reslden. t lal uses' exposure to trafflc. Th Is present ly occurs when the ex Is t InO I I ! i I , " , I I !' / "':<. I, I , , i ! n ~ n h S~ -, - - - - 4 I 1 /, barrIcade at the end of the drive serving the 1016 Hudson Avenue property Is removed, Redevelopment of the subjoct lot for commercial purposes and Inte- gration of those lots Into the adjacent cocrrnerclal development to the east would, ha./ovor, require Large SC41e IIon.Resldentlal Development (LSIIRO) plan approval. The IlIllact on residential uses of a curb cut on Hudson Avenue that sorvos . ,omme"lal development would be evaluated at the time of L511RO plan submlss Ion. Although measures could be taken to soften the effects of commer:lal uses In close proximity to residential uses, ~easures should be taken which minimize the extent to which residential uses are exposed to cOi!ll1Orclal activities. In this particular case, while It Is anticipated that the southern extremity of Hudson Avenue will eventually redevelop for commercial purposes the property at 1014 Hudson Avenue, l/fIllke the 1016 Hudson Avenue parcel, Is directly across the street from an existing residential use, Zoning boundaries are customarily drawn along alleys or rear lot lines In- stead of along centers of streets to prevent dissimilar uses from facing one another, Retention of 'the RS-8 zoning classification on the 1014 Hudson Avenue property would diminish the extent to which the residential use across the street Is exposed to activities associated with a commercial use, Rezon- Ing the 1014 Hudson Avenue parcel to allow commercial redevelopment of the site Is, therefore, unadvisable. Given the land use polley established In the Comprehensive Plan for property along Highway I and their exposure to commercial uses to the east, west and south, It Is likely that the lot at 1016 Hudson Avenue as well as the abut- ting property to the south will, at some time, be redeveloped for commercial purposes, It has been established, however, that the owners of the southern parcel presently resist rezoning their property to permit commercial redevel- opment of the site, Rezoning the Ranshaw property at 1016 Hudson Av~nue would Isolate this southern parcel from all other residential uses and would diminish this property's ability to be used and enjoyed for residential purposes. Existing performance requirements aro not expected to be capable of ameliorating tho negative land use rOlatlonshlps that would be created as a result of that rezoning. Rezonlno tho property at 1016 Hudson Avenue should, therefore, be dolayed until the parco I Immediately to tho south Is also presented for rezoning consideration, ECOlllJilC IMPACT Rozonlng this property from RS.8 to CC-2 In and of Itsolf will not affect the value of the property or the tax revenue collected on that property. The land value will Increase, however, If use of the property Is converted from Its present use to a commercial use, The property's assessed value will, therefore, also Increase. The value of the property may Increase additionally If the value of a new structure placed on the site exceeds the value of existing resIdential dwell- Ings on the property, While the same local tax levy Is applied to commercial and residential propertIes, the CIty would realize additIonal tax revenue as A result of conversIon of the site to a commercIal use sInce the messed values of commercial uses are not rolled back as arc messed values for resIdential uses, On the other hand, the market value of neighboring resl- i " , I J , i ' i I 1'1: !

Iowa 52245 December 'f, 1969 Hembero of tho Planning and Zoning Commiooion Oity of Iowa Oity, Iowa I nm appearing boforo you in regard to the requ~ot for rezoning of the properties at 1014 and 1016 Hudson Avenue from reoidential to cOllli:lercinl use. y~ interest in this matter ariseo aD an owner of a lot in tho area, and as a former reoident of the area. ~he lot ie between 306 and 314 Ifest Benton Street which io at the north end of Hudoon Avenue and a little eaot. ~he lot my wife and I own io the one noxt to what waD previouoly our homo for '6 yearo, and io in tho area gon- ornlly callod tho Millor-Orchard NOighborhocd. ~he neighborhood of Hudson Avenue, Orchard Stroet and lower Weet Benton street is a neighborhood of modoot homes. Houses in thio area have provided and continue to provide homeD for otarting families, older fnmilies and Dingle peroon family unito. In order to maintain thio neighborhood wo have had to resist earlier attompts to get commercial zoning in the area. ~hio includeD attemptD to rezcne 1014 and 1016 Hudoon Avenue. , I am expresoing my continued oppooition to thio propooed rezoning. r~ reaoono for this opposition follow. We rocontly have oeen a major renovation on Weot Benton Street. ~he street now has curbo and meets other Oity otandardo. ~he old hazardous box culvert io gone and drainage through tho Douglaoo Street area io greatly improved. Some of theoo improvemento wero the result of the Miller-Orchard Neighborhood group obtaining ODBO funds and oome were due to the City of Iowa Oity Waote Water ~reat- ment Project. In any event the neighborhood hao had a face lilt. Now hardly oeemo the time to respond by putting part of the neigh- borhood into a commercial zone. Another important conoideration io that in a oonoo spot zoning will reoult if the propooal befors you is adopted. ~he property at 1022 Hudoon Avenus would be left as an island of reoidential uoe eur- rounded by a commercial zone. ~he houoeo at 1014 and 1016 Hudoon Avenue were occupied in 1988 according to the Iowa Oity Directory and the houooo appear to continue to be occupied. And the house at 1022 Hudoon Avenuo io . occupied. As far as I can tell theoe houoeo can be used ao reoi- denceo for many moro years. ~he City of Iowa Oity io making a oubotantia1 effort and io expending some pUblic money to augment the supply of "affordable" housing in Iowa City. ~he houseD in this rezoning propooal have the potential of filling somo of the affordable houoing need if the land io oimply retained in its prooent zoning. Hudson Avenus io primarily a rosidential otreet. Intruding into the otroet with commercial zoning would drastically reduce the value of adjoining residential property. !
