Second Consideration Vote for passage: Date published STAFF REPORT To: Planning & Zoning Commission Prepared by: Sarah Walz Item: VAC06-00003 A portion of the former West Benton Street, east of Riverside Drive Date: June 1, 2006 GENERAL INFORMATION: Applicant: Professional Muffler 708 S. Riverside Drive Iowa City, IA 52246 Contact Person: Noah Kemp 2140 Hwy 22 Kalona, IA 52247 Phone: 319-936-2534 Requested Action: Vacation of right-of-way Purpose: To allow additional development area for an adjacent property. location: Between S. Riverside Drive and Ned Ashton Park trailhead and north of the current W. Benton Street right-of-way. Surrounding land Use and Zoning: North: Commercial, CC-2 South: Commercial, CC-2 East: Public Park, P1 West: Commercial, CC-2 Comprehensive Plan: Mixed Use and Public/Private Open Space File Date: May 1, 2006 BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Professional Muffler building sustained such substantial damage in the tornado of April 13 that it was not possible to restore the former building. In order to re-establish the vehicle repair use in the CC-2 zone, the applicant is required to seek a special exception. The prior building was a non-conforming structure-it did not meet the minimum 10-foot front and street side setbacks required in the current Zoning Code. For a number of years, the applicant has relied on the lower portion of the former West Benton Street right-of-way and adjacent City property to provide parking for his business. The applicant's lot size is limited such that it is not possible for him to construct a new building of a similar size and meet the current zoning requirements for setbacks, parking, and screening. 2 The proposed vacation would extend east from S. Riverside Drive to the easternmost limit of the applicant's property. The applicant is proposing to purchase from the City the gravel parking lot to the east of his property, extending his property another 55-60 feet (approximate) east. ANALYSIS: Typically, vacating right-of-way can be recommended if, 1) it will not have a negative effect on pedestrian or vehicular circulation, or planned circulation routes, 2) it will not be detrimental to emergency vehicle or utility vehicle access to adjacent properties, and 3) it will not diminish access to adjacent properties and is not needed for public or private utilities. There is currently a sanitary sewer line located under this right-of-way. A utility easement will need to be retained over this line. The City has notified private utilities companies about this proposed vacation. There do not appear to be any private utility lines located within this right-of- way. The City previously vacated a north portion of the former W. Benton Street right-of-way to the property to the north, Linder Tire. The City will retain a 20-foot alley to provide access to the trailhead at Ned Ashton Park and the Linder Tire property. This will allow the City to vacate the southern portion of the right-of-way without decreasing access to the area. There does not appear to be any public interest in continuing to incur cost, staff-time and liability in maintaining the full right-of-way. Vacation of the property will help the applicant to re-establish his business in compliance with current zoning regulations. The proposed vacation would extend east from S. Riverside Drive to the eastern most limit of the applicant's property. The extent (length) of the vacation would be subject to resolution of the applicant's proposal to purchase adjacent City property, which would extend the eastern limit of his property approximately 55-60 feet. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that VAC06-00003, an application to vacate the southem 33 feet of the former West Benton Street right-of-way along the length of the applicant's property, be approved subject to retention of any necessary utility easements.

'.....-' { STAFF REPORT To: Planning & Zoning Commission Prepared by: Sarah Walz, Associate Planner Item: REZ06-00012 Date: May 18, 2006 GENERAL INFORMATION: Applicant: Bruce Teague 619 Kirkwood Avenue Phone: 319-337-8922 Requested Action: Rezoning from RS-5 to CO-1 Purpose: To allow a commercial use of the property Location: 619 Kirkwood Avenue Size: 45x 150 Existing Land Use and Zoning: , \ Surrounding Land Use and ZOPling: \ Residential, 2-8 dwelling units per acre North: South: East: West: Residential; RS-8 Residential; RS-5 Residential; RS-5 Commercial; CO-1 Comprehensive Plan: Residential, 2-8 dwelling units per acre File Date: April 27, 2006 June 13, 2006 45 Day Limitation Period: BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The applicant, Bruce Teague, is proposing that property located at 619 Kirkwood Avenue be rezoned from Low Density Single-Family Residential (RS-5) to Commercial Office (CO-1). The subject property currently contains a single-family residence and abuts property zoned CO-1 to the west. ANALYSIS: The Comprehensive Plan indicates that the subject property and the area to the east, north, and south should continue to be developed for residential purposes at a density of 2-8 dwelling units per acre. The Comprehensive Plan's discussion of the Central Planning District identifies Kirkwood Avenue as an area of particular concern with regard to the capacity of the street to handle increased traffic as well as the need to preserve existing neighborhood integrity. In 1993, the City rezoned the abutting property to the west at 617 Kirkwood from RS-5 to 2 Commercial (CO-1), to allow an extension of an existing commercial use, the Lensing Funeral Home. At the time staff expressed concern that the expansion of the commercial zone would erode a clear demarcation between residential and commercial uses in the area and result in "further requests for commercial zoning along Kirkwood Avenue." A condition of the 1993 rezoning required the property owner to close street access to the rezoned property at 617 Kirkwood. Access to the rezoned property would be required via an access easement at 605 Kirkwood. The intent was to direct business traffic entering the site away from the residential properties and to make it less likely that a strip pattern of commercial uses would develop along this portion of Kirkwood. In addition the property owner was required to install a landscaped buffer to provide an area of transition between the commercial development and the adjacent residential properties. Since that time, residential neighbors as well as some existing commercial developments have expressed concern over traffic on Kirkwood Avenue. Vehicle access to the properly now under consideration is via a single lane driveway that requires backing onto Kirkwood, raising safety concerns. If this properly is to be converted to office uses, most of the area in front of the existing house would be required to be paved in order to accommodate drives and parking. While the property may also be accessed from the rear via an unpaved alley off of Diana Street, any parking would need to meet the design and screening standards in the Zoning Code. Parking in the rear would bring commercial traffic through a residential neighborhood and thus potentially affect the private character of the backyards adjacent to the alley. The lot at 619 Kirkwood is narrow, just 45 feet, and the present house sits close to the properly line. If the house is maintained there is minimal opportunity to provide a buffer or transition between an expanded commercial zone and the abutting residential properties. If the house is removed and the site redeveloped, which is possible if a commercial rezoning is granted, the residential character of the neighborhood will be further eroded. While the applicant has indicated that his particular business and use for the building would not have clients coming to and from the site, a rezoning to CO-1 will allow more intensive commercial reuse of the property, which would be less compatible with the adjacent residential neighborhood. A rezoning is, by definition, not restricted to the current owner or the intentions of the applicant, but runs with the property without regard to change in circumstance or ownership. Meanwhile, there does not appear to be any change in circumstances with regard to the particular property now under consideration that warrant a rezoning. There does not seem to be a shortage of vacant office space in Iowa City. General office uses are permitted in all commercial zones. The only justification provided by the applicant for rezoning the property for commercial use is to reduce the overhead cost (rent) for his business. However, the particular constraints or the specific uses proposed by an individual do not, on their own, provide sufficient justification for a rezoning. Rezoning residential property simply to make a property more affordable for an individual commercial use undermines the purpose of zoning as spelled out in Chapter 1 of the Zoning Code. This includes, "encourage(ing) the most appropriate use of land and foster(ing) convenient, compatible and efficient relationships between land uses", "promote(ing) the economic stability of existing and future land uses that are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and protect(ing) them from intrusions by incompatible land uses", "Iessen(ing) congestion in the streets and promote(ing) safe and effective access to property". STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the proposed zoning change for property located at 619 Kirkwood Avenue 3 from RS-5 to CO-1 be denied. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Location Map 2. Aerial view 3.

I'm seeking to have my property rezoned as commercial. My property line begins the residential zone and sits adjacent to Lensing Funeral Home, of which is zoned for commercial use. I'm requesting the commercial zoned boundaries be extended to include my property. Caring Hands & More LLC ("CHAM") has been operating out of my former residence since October 2004 with the staff of one person. "CHAM" is a home care agency providing medical and non-medical care services for individuals of all ages, ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Our largest client base services elderly and end oflife (Hospice) clients within Johnson County and its surrounding areas. In 2001, the state ofIowa raked #1 in the nation for person's age 85 and older and ranked #3 for persons 65 and older. The elderly community within Johnson County and its surrounding areas is vastly rising and the desire by the elderly to remain in their home environment is prevalent. In order to adequately meet the community needs it's imperative that "CHAM's" Administrative Team grows to accommodate the increasing needs of Elderly within Johnson County and its surrounding areas. Cost associated specifically with "non-direct" revenue administrative staff is expensive. If my primary residence at 619 Kirkwood Ave was rezoned to include commercial use this would significantly reduce overhead cost providing a facility for professional services to be adequately administrated. Also, it would contribute to our services remaining more affordable our clients, of which are 90% Elderly. The basis of our business does not necessitate clients to come to our office since their home is where care assistance is provided. The projected office administrative team is projected to increase to the following: 1- Full-Time (immediately) 1- Part-Time (starting in July increasing to full-time as need appropriates) 1- Part-Time (starting in 2007) I look forward to your approval of the rezoning of the aforementioned..Qroperty~, o ~~ <; t~~C;: 2f( Y>d g Bruce Ali Teague III r April 27. 2006 -n -0 ; .Il 'J '~"l .~ > p .c- GO .c- Page 1 of 1 Marian Karr From: WinHII@aol.com Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2006 11 :06 AM To: 'City Council Subject: Property at 619 Kirkwood Avenue June 15, 2006 Council Members: I urge you to accept the decision made by the Planning & Zoning Commission and vote against rezoning the property at 619 Kirkwood Avenue from RS-5 to CO-1.

Location: Commercial property along South Gilbert Street between Waterfront Drive and Southgate Avenue. Size: Approximately 10.38 acres Existing Land Use and Zoning: Commercial Intensive (CI-1), current uses include office, retail, outdoor storage and display, and light manufacturing. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: Commercial (CC-2) South: Undeveloped (CI-1) East: Commercial (CI-1) West: Commercial (CI-1) Comprehensive Plan: Commercial File Date: December, 2005 45 Day Limitation Period: Waived BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In December 2005, an application was filed by Diane Schoenauer to rezone property at 160 Stevens Drive from Commercial Intensive (CI-1) to Community Commercial (CC-2). Staff advised 2 the applicant that rezoning just one lot in this area would constitute a spot zoning and that in order to receive a positive staff recommendation, we advised the applicant that some of the neighboring owners would need to consent to rezoning their properties along Gilbert Street from CI-1 to CC-2. In February there was a property owner meeting to present information regarding the requirements of the CC-2 zone and the CI-1 zone. At that meeting several property owners expressed opposition to having their properties rezoned and the rezoning request was put on hold. In April, Pat Kennedy, one of the adjacent property owners, inquired about reactivating this rezoning request. Mr. Kennedy visited with several property owners along Gilbert Street and determined that a majority of them now support the rezoning from CI-1 to CC-2. ANALYSIS: The purpose of CI-1 zone is to provide areas for businesses whose operations are typically characterized by outdoor storage and display of merchandize, by repair and sales of large equipment or motor vehicles, or by activities or operations conducted in buildings that are not entirely enclosed. In general, the CI-1 zone allows quasi-industrial uses that are not compatible with retail areas. The proposed CC-2 zone is characterized by businesses that cater more broadly to the general public, including retail, office, and restaurant uses. Currently the CI-1 zone extends from just south of Waterfront Drive to the Crandic Railroad Line. Land uses west of S. Gilbert along Stevens Drive include industrial service, warehouse/storage and vehicle repair uses that are associated with the CI-1 zone. Land uses east of Gilbert along Waterfront Drive include wholesale, office, and other uses. Properties to the north, directly adjacent to Highway 6, are already zoned CC-2 and include banking (Hills Bank), grocery (HyVee and Aldi), retail (Office Depot, Zephyr, Advance Auto Parts, etc.), and restaurants (Los Portales and Carlos O'Kelly's). Most of the properties along South Gilbert Street contain uses that are appropriate in the CC-2 zone, including a number of office and retail uses. While some current uses (office medical and accessory apartments) have been identified as non-conforming in the CI-1 zone, none of the current uses would appear to be non-conforming in the proposed CC-2 zone. The South District Plan identifies the South Gilbert Street Commercial Corridor for various street enhancements and encourages commercial redevelopment in this area. As residential development proceeds further south, S. Gilbert Street will become a more traveled entryway to the city. As Iowa City grows in general, this portion of Gilbert Street, with its ready access to Highway 6, will become a more desirable and more appropriate area for certain types of commercial redevelopment. The South District Plan recognizes the CI-1 uses as "inconsistent" with the goal of providing and attractive entrance into Iowa City, and encourages "general commercial" development with careful attention to landscaping, site design, and other aesthetic improvements. Traffic implications Overtime as properties in this area develop with retail uses, it can be expected that traffic volumes will increase. The current configuration of Gilbert Street and Highway 6 will need to be improved to accommodate more traffic. This intersection is the highest volume most poorly functioning arterial street intersection in Iowa City at this time. The reconstruction of this intersection is currently in the Capital Improvements Program for 2008. If this rezoning is approved staff would recommend that these planned improvements not be delayed. There also needs to be better access control to properties than the existing pattern that has evolved. This needs to be combined eventually with a capital improvements project that will ppdadmin\stfrep\rezOS-QOO22 s. gilbertdoc 3 construct a center turn lane on Gilbert Street through the commercial area south of US 6. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that REZ05-00022, a rezoning from Intensive Commercial (CI-1) to Community Commercial CC-2 for approximately 10.38 acres of property along South Gilbert Street, South of Waterfront Drive and north of Southgate Avenue, be approved.

The Northeast District Plan identifies this area as suitable for low density residential development. The current zoning, Interim Development Single-family Residential (ID-RS) Zone permits limited development of the property due to the lack of adequate public infrastructure such as, access streets and utility services. The proposed Low Density Single-Family Residential (RS-5) Zone would allow for a development with a maximum density of five dwelling units per acre and a minimum lot area of 8,000 square feet. This is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan vision and compatible with the zoning and development pattern of the land adjacent to this property. The Comprehensive Plan encourages compact, development with streets network that is pleasant for pedestrians and motorists, accessible open spaces, provisions for trails and bike-way connections. This property includes sensitive areas, such as a drainage way and regulated slopes. Remnants of a historic stone railroad bridge also exist on the property. Any future development of this land should consider preserving and incorporating these natural features. A Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA) signed at the time of annexation and rezoning for a land parcel that included this property. The CZA requires that development of the property is planned in accordance with the neighborhood design policies of the Northeast District Plan and retention of the stone bridge is ensured in a manner that the provides publiC access to the feature. Compliance with these conditions should be carried over to this rezoning and incorporated into future subdivision plats. Traffic Implications: The property can be accessed from a collector street-Lower West Branch Road and neighborhood streets from the adjacent subdivision Stone Bridge Estates Part 3 and Part 4 on the west. The property has close proximity to other arterial streets-Taft Avenue on the east and Court Street on the south. Staff estimates that approximately 80 dwelling units can be developed on this 21.78-acer property. This would generate approximately 600 vehicle trips per day. Lower West Branch Road is currently a narrow chip-seal road and needs to be improved to City Standards. Improvements to Lower West Branch Road are part of the Capital Improvement Plan for the financial year 2007. Once development is proposed on this property, the applicant/owner will be required to dedicate land to the City as public right-of-way for Lower West Branch Road and provide necessary utility and construction easements. As a condition of approval of this rezoning, staff recommends that the applicant/owner be required to share the proportional cost of improvement for the portion of Lower West Branch Road that borders this property. The City Engineer estimates the per-linear-foot-cost for Lower West Branch Road improvement project as $749.16. The proportional cost of upgrading the road will be determined by the formula developed by the Johnson County Council of Governments for assigning costs related to a street improvement. Lower West Branch Road is a collector street. Therefore, the first step is to apply the assumption that 50% of the function of a collector street is for through traffic, while 50% is to provide access to adjacent properties ($749.16/2 = 374.58). This results in per-linear-foot-cost being applied to adjacent properties for access. The next step is to divide this amount, as the proposed development is on only one side of Lower West Branch Road ($374.58/ 2 = $187.29). This resulting amount in per-linear-foot-cost multiplied by the length of the property boundary along Lower West Branch Road will be the applicant/owner's proportional share for the improvement project ($187.29 x 854.71 feet = $160,078.64). These funds may be paid in conjunction with the final plat approval, along with other development fees. It is staff's understanding that this property will be developed in conjunction with other adjoining pcd\Staff Reports\nlz06-00013IowelWestbranch 3 properties under the same ownership on the south along Court Street, on the east along Taft Avenue and the undeveloped portion of previous Stone Bridge Estates on the west. At the time of subdivision development access to collector and arterial streets, and neighborhood street layout should be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that REZ06-00013, a rezoning of approximately 21.78 acres from Interim Development Single-family Residential (ID-RS) to Low Density Single-family Residential (RS-5) located on Lower West Branch Road, west of Taft Avenue, be approved, subject to a conditional zoning agreement specifying that the applicant/owner would share the proportional cost of improvement for Lower West Branch Road and that future subdivisions will comply with the neighborhood design policies of the Northeast District Plan and retention of the stone bridge is ensured in a manner that the provides public access to the feature.

By deleting subsections 14-5A-5F and 14-5A-5G in their entirety and substituting in lieu thereof: F. Standards for Structured Parking in Multi-Family and Commercial Zones The following standards apply to structured parking in all Multi-Family Zones and all Commercial Zones, except the CB-10 Zone. Standards for structured parking in the CB- 10 Zone are specified in Subsection 14-5A-3D, above. 1. In the CN-1, CB-2, CB-5, and the MU Zones the ground level floor of a building is reserved primarily for principal uses allowed in the zone. Therefore, any parking located within the exterior walls of the building must meet the following standards: a. Structured parking is not permitted on the ground-level floor of the building for the first 30 feet of lot depth as measured from the minimum setback line. In the CN-1 Zone it is measured from the "build-to" line. b. No more than 50 percent of the ground level floor of a building may consist of parking. c. The ceiling height of an underground parking level may extend no more than 1 foot above the level of the adjacent sidewalk. On sloping building sites and for existing buildings, the City may adjust this requirement. However, on sloping sites at least a portion of the ground level floor height of any new building must be located no more than one foot above the level of the abutting sidewalk or pedestrian plaza; and the floor height of the ground level floor of the building must be no more than 3 feet above the level of the abutting public sidewalk or pedestrian plaza at any point along a street-facing building facade. 2. Except for garage openings, the parking area must be enclosed within the exterior walls of the building. In no case shall a building have the appearance from the street or from abutting properties of being elevated above a parking level or "on stilts." (See Figure 5A.1) 3. Any exterior walls of a parking facility that are visible from a public or private street or from an abutting property must appear to be a component of the fa~ade of the building through the use of building materials, window openings and fa~ade detailing that is Ordinance No. Page 10 similar or complementary to the design of the building and must comply with the other standards of this Section. (See Figure 5A.1) Figure 5A. 1 - Structured Parking ,:~3Zt,,,",,,> '""'!;,.-..--....J'f.5~ o o Acceptable Unacceptable Unacceptable 4. In addition to window openings, the City may require landscaping as a means to soften the visual effect of any garage walls located at the street level. Shrubs, small berms, and planters may be used to form a landscaped screen generally ranging between 2 and 4 feet in height. Trees may also be incorporated into the landscaped area if sufficient area is available for tree grow1h. 5. Garage Entrances/Exits a. Vehicular access to parking within buildings should be located and designed to minimize traffic congestion and hazards to pedestrians and to preserve street frontages for active building uses. b. In the CB-2, CB-5, and MU Zones, alley or rear lane access is preferred. If alley access is not feasible due to topographical limitations or other unique circumstances, garage openings may face a street, but must be designed to in a manner that will best meet the objectives listed in subparagraph a., above. c. If the structured parking is intended for residents or tenants of a building and not the general public, there may be no more than one double-wide or two single-wide garage openings per building. Double-wide openings may not exceed 18 feet in width; single-wide openings may not exceed 9 feet in width. For structured parking intended for use by the general public, garage openings should be limited in width and number to only what is necessary to provide adequate access for the types and numbers of vehicles using the parking facility. d. Except in the CN-1, CB-2, MU and CB-5 Zones, the opening(s) must occupy no more than 50% of the length of the street-facing building wall. On corner lots, only one street-facing garage wall must meet this standard. In the CN-1, CB-2, MU and CB-5 Zones, garage opening(s) along the primary street frontage are not permitted if access is feasible from another local or collector street or from a rear alley, private street or private rear lane. If there is no feasible alternative, garage opening(s) may be allowed along the primary street frontage, provided that they occupy no more than 35 percent of the length of the primary street frontage of the lot and provided that all provisions of Article 14-5C, Access Management are met. G. Standards for Structured Parking in Industrial and Research Zones Where parking is located within the exterior walls of a principal building, the following standards apply: 1. Any exterior walls of a parking facility that are visible from an arterial street must appear to be a component of the fayade of the building through the use of building materials, window openings and fayade detailing that is similar or complementary to the design of the building. In no case shall a building have the appearance from an arterial street of being elevated above a parking level or "on stilts." (See Figure 5A.1) Ordinance No. Page 11 2. Garage Entrances/Exits. Vehicular access to parking within buildings should be located and designed to minimize traffic congestion and hazards to pedestrians; and to preserve street frontages for active building uses to the extent feasible. Garage openings should be limited in width and number to only what is necessary to provide adequate access for the types and numbers of vehicles using the parking facility. W. By deleting subparagraph 14-5A-3D-4c in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof: c. Underground parking is preferred over above-ground structured parking. The design of any underground parking must not detract from or prevent active building uses on the ground- level floor of the building. To that end, the ceiling height of any underground parking level may not extend more than 1 foot above the level of the adjacent sidewalk. On sloping building sites and for existing buildings, the City may adjust this requirement. However, on sloping sites at least a portion of the ground level floor height of any new building must be located no more than one foot above the level of the abutting sidewalk or pedestrian plaza; and the floor height of the ground level floor of the building must be no more than 3 feet above the level of the abutting public sidewalk or pedestrian plaza at any point along a street-facing building facade. X. By adding a subsubparagraph (3) to 14-4B-4A-7c. as follows: (3) To facilitate commercial uses at the street level, the ground level floor height should be no more than one foot above the level of the abutting sidewalk or pedestrian plaza. On Sloping building sites and for existing buildings, the City may adjust this requirement. However, on sloping sites at least a portion of the ground level floor height of any new building must be located no more than one foot above the level of the abutting sidewalk or pedestrian plaza; and the floor height of the ground level floor of the building must be no more than 3 feet above the level of the abutting public sidewalk or pedestrian plaza at any point along a street-facing building facade. Y. By deleting subparagraph 14-2C-8G-2a. in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof: a. Vehicular access to parking should be located and designed to minimize traffic congestion and hazards to pedestrians and to preserve street frontages for active building uses. If available, alley or rear lane access is preferred. If alley access is not feasible due to topographical limitations or other unique circumstances, driveway access from a street may be allowed, but must be designed in a manner that will best meet the objectives listed in this subparagraph. SECTION III. REPEALER. All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict with the provisions of this Ordinance are hereby repealed. SECTION IV. SEVERABILITY. If any section, provision or part of the Ordinance shall be adjudged to be invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall not affect the validity of the Ordinance as a whole or any section, provision or part thereof not adjudged invalid or unconstitutional.

I May 26, 2006 To: Planning and Zoning Commission From: Karen Howard, Associate Planner Re: Proposed amendments to the Zoning Code Attached are several staff proposed amendments to the Zoning Code. As was expected after such a major overhaul, we have found a few provisions in the new zoning code that need clarification or refinement Please note that only the underlined sections on the following pages represent new language. The language shown with strikethrough is proposed to be deleted. We have tried to provide enough of the surrounding code language to give you some context within which to understand the changes proposed, but everything that is not underlined or struck through is existing language in the code and will remain the same. Following are the amendments included in this packet: 1. Clarification of regulations for drives external to parking lots versus those that are internal to parking lots. This distinction is necessary so that screening and location standards for parking lots and driveways can be applied consistently. 2. Clarifying language for exterior stairways, corridors, balconies and lifts. The proposed changes will make it clear that these provisions refer to stairways and corridors that are located above the first or ground-level floor of a building and not to stoops or arcades located at ground level. Language is also added to make it clear that fire egress structures would be allowed on existing buildings to meet fire safety regulations. This will allow the occasional retrofit for older buildings. 3. Clarify minor modification procedures for site development standards in the multi-family zones and add a similar minor modification option for site development standards in the commercial, industrial, and research zones. Staff recommends that the same relief valve that we currently have in the multi- family article should be added to the commercial and industrial zone to allow for minor modifications in cases where the site developments standards are not feasible due to difficult site conditions or other unique circumstances. 4. Change the building material requirements for large retail uses to make allowance for concrete panels with brick or stone veneer or stamped concrete panels. It is common for large commercial buildings to be constructed with tilt-up concrete panels. This provision will allow the use of this type of exterior building material provided that it has a veneer of brick or stone or is stamped and colored to give the appearance brick or stone. 5. Add a provision for ground-level floor height of storefront commercial buildings and adjusting related parking provisions to account for sloping sites. The code currently has a standard that specifies that the ceiling height of any underground parking may not extend more than one foot above the grade of the abutting public sidewalk. This provision ensures that the ground-level floor of a building is conducive to a variety of commercial uses over time and ensures that entrances to buildings will be accessible to persons with disabilities without excessive ramping. However, the current provisions do not give any allowance for sloping building sites and also do not address ground-level floor height for buildings without underground parking. The proposed changes provide this needed flexibility without compromising the objectives stated above. In addition, the language was revised to allow more flexibility for the location of access points for structured parking facilities in commercial areas near downtown (CB-2, CB-5, MU). As was the case in the former zoning code, currently alley access is required if an alley is available. However, this does not allow any flexibility for difficult site conditions or unique circumstances where street access may be preferable. The changes to the language will allow needed flexibility for site specific conditions, but ensure that access points are located and designed to minimize traffic congestion and hazards to pedestrian and to preserve street frontages for active building uses. Approved by: ~ ~' Robert Miklo, Senior Planner Department of Planning and Community Development Amendment #1: Clarification of regulations for drives external to a parking lot versus drives internal to a parking lot.

Riverside Drive Iowa City, IA 52246 Requested Action: Vacation of Dane Road Purpose: To allow for extension of Iowa City Municipal Airport Location: South of Hwy 1 West, north of Mormon Trek Boulevard Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: Airport, P1 South: Undeveloped; CI-1 East: Airport, P1 West: Airport, P1 File Date: May 11, 2006 BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Mormon Trek Boulevard was constructed to provide an alternative access to properties located south of Highway 1 that previously relied on Dane Road for access. A portion of Dane Road located north of the extension of Mormon Trek Boulevard was vacated by the City in 2005. The Airport Commission is now requesting vacation of the remaining portion of Dane Road between Highway 1 and Mormon Trek Boulevard. Vacation and removal of the roadway will allow the extension of southwest runway of the airport. ANALYSIS: Three general criteria are used to determine the advisability of vacating a street or alley right-of- way. Vacating right-of-way is not advisable if it would interfere with pedestrian or vehicular circulation, the ability to access private property, or inhibit the access of emergency or utility vehicles. Dane Road between Highway 1 and Mormon Trek Boulevard is no longer needed to provide access to adjacent property. The Iowa City Airport has acquired land on either side of the road and Mormon Trek Boulevard now provides street access to the general area. A private driveway will provide access to the Dane Farm from the south. The property does not contain City water, sewer or storm sewer systems and is not necessary for municipal utilities. Electric and gas lines that are located within Dane Road are no longer necessary to serve adjacent properties and are being abandoned by MidAmerican Energy Company. Qwest is in the process of relocating telephone lines located within the right-of-way so no utility easements are necessary. 2 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that VAC06-00002 a request to vacate Dane Road right-ot-way south ot Highway 1 be approved.

ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 4, ENTITLED "ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES," CHAPTER 2, ENTITLED "LIQUOR LICENSES AND BEER PERMITS," BY AMENDING SECTION 3 TO ELIMINATE THE REQUIREMENT THAT JOHNSON COUNTY OFFICIALS APPROVE APPLICATIONS FOR ALCOHOL LICENSES AND PERMITS AND TO MAKE ADDITIONAL CHANGES RESULTING FROM THE STATE'S NEW ELECTRONIC FILING SYSTEM AND THE INCREASED INSPECTIONS BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. WHEREAS, section 4-2-3 of the City Code presently requires that the City Clerk provide applications for a liquor license, beer permit, and wine permit, that the Fire Chief, Building Official, and Johnson County Department of Public Health inspect each premises, and that the Police Chief, Fire Chief, Building Official, Johnson County Department of Public Health, and Johnson County Attorney approve or disapprove each application; WHEREAS, because the Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division has implemented an on- line, paperless application process for liquor licenses and beer/wine permits, the state application forms will no longer be available from the City Clerk; WHEREAS, state law provides that a local authority, such as the City of Iowa City, shall determine if the applicant is of "good moral character;" WHEREAS, because the Iowa City Chief of Police has developed a policy to evaluate applications that includes criteria to determine "good moral character," the Johnson County Attorney's approval of applications is duplicative and no longer necessary; WHEREAS, because the Johnson County Department of Public Health must inspect and license "food establishments" under Iowa law, said department's inspections of premises and approval of applications are duplicative and no longer necessary; WHEREAS, because the Fire Department is developing an inspection program for high hazard occupancies with liquor licenses and beer/wine permits, inspections by the Fire Department and the Building Official may not be necessary for every applicant; WHEREAS, eliminating the requirements that the Johnson County Attorney and the Johnson County Department of Health approve every application and that the Fire Chief and the.

Dilkes, City Attorney v Re: Review of Applications for Liquor Licenses On your agenda for June 27, you will find an ordinance making revisions to Section 4-2-3 of the City Code which is entitled "Local Review of Application/Investigation of Applicant." Over the last several months staff has engaged in a review of both the form and substance of the City's review of liquor licenses. Much of the impetus for this review came from the announcement of the Alcoholic Beverages Division that it intended to implement an on-line paperless application process. This process became effective in Iowa City at the end of April, 2006. An applicant accesses and completes the state's application on-line. The City is notified when the state's application is completed. Because the City requires additional paperwork and review by a number of local officials, changes were required to adapt to the implementation of electronic filing. In addition, review of our local procedure suggested that other changes were advisable. This memo will describe the reasons for the various changes in the proposed ordinance: 1. Application/Citv Addendum. As mentioned above, the State's application will now be provided and completed online, and therefore the application will no longer be available from the City Clerk. The applicant will, however, need to obtain the City Addendum from the City Clerk. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish between the ABO's application and the City's Addendum. The ordinance now specifically provides what will be included in the City Addendum. 2. Police Chief Review. Under the Iowa Code a license may be issued to a person of "good moral character." That term is defined in Section 123.3(26) of the Code and includes a requirement that the person be of "such..... good reputation as will satisfy the administrator that the person will comply with this chapter and all laws, ordinances, and regulations applicable to the person's operations under this chapter." The person may not have been convicted of a felony. However, if the person's conviction of a felony occurred more than five years before the date of the application for a license or permit, and if the person's rights of citizenship have been restored by the governor, the City may determine that the person is of good moral character notwithstanding such conviction. The Iowa administrative rules further elaborate on what a local authority may consider in evaluating an applicant's "good reputation". Although a number of factors are listed the local review is not limited to those factors; others may be considered. Chief Hargadine intends to take a comprehensive approach to the review of both initial and renewal liquor license applications. To this end, with my assistance, he has prepared a policy setting forth the criteria to be considered in evaluating an application. The proposed ordinance includes a requirement that the Council approve the guidelines to be used by the Chief in reviewing applications. Therefore, the Chief's policy is included on your agenda. Chief Hargadine will be available at your meeting to answer any questions you may have. 3. Elimination of Certain Approvals. The proposed ordinance eliminates the requirements that the application for liquor license be approved by the Johnson County Department of Health and the County Attorney. Staff believes this will streamline the process without compromising the scrutiny of the applicant. Years ago the State mandated approvals by the County Attorney and County Health Department and Iowa City has continued to June 16, 2006 Page 2 require those approvals. Chapter 137F of the Iowa Code and administrative rules address the inspection and licensing of "food establishments". While the Department of Health signs off on the application, they do their inspections at a different time. In Iowa City, the County Attorney has reviewed initial licenses for many years and in 2001, as part of the City's efforts to address underage drinking and over-consumption, the ordinance was amended to require County Attorney approval of renewals as well. Since that time Iowa City has begun requiring DCI criminal histories on all owners and managers. In light of Chief Hargadine's development of criteria to consider, including a review of criminal histories of owners and managers of the applicant, staff proposes that review by the County Attorney no longer be required. I have expressed the City's appreciation to the County Attorney for his Office's many years of involvement and alerted him to the proposal by letter, a copy of which is attached. 4. Buildinq OfficiallnsDections. The existing ordinance requires inspections by both the Fire Chief and the Building Official. As you know, the Fire Department is in the process of developing an inspection program for high hazard occupancies including those with liquor licenses. There may be cases in which the fire inspection is sufficient for purposes of liquor licensing. If not, the Fire Chief and the Building Official will, if necessary, make a separate inspection at the time the application is made. Staff will be available at your work session to answer any questions you may have in connection with the proposed changes. cc: Steve Atkins, City Manager Dale Helling, Assistant City Manager Sam Hargadine, Police Chief Marian Karr, City Clerk Andy Rocca, Fire Chief Roger Jensen, Fire Marshall Doug Boothroy, Director H.I.S.

Box 2450 Iowa City, IA 52244 www.icgov.org Dear Pat: To follow up on my phone conversation last week with Andy Chappell, I write to let you know about upcoming City staff proposals to modify the liquor license review process_ Staff has recently engaged in a review of the process, based principally on the State's implementation of an electronic application process and Police Chief Hargadine's decision to engage in a more vigorous review of both initial and renewal applications. Enclosed you will find a copy of Chief Hargadine's policy. In light of Chief Hargadine's policy and the City's requirement that all owners and managers provide a DCI criminal history, staff is recommending that the applicant no longer be required to obtain the County Attorney's approval. Staff believes this will streamline the process without compromising the scrutiny of the applicant. The first reading of the ordinance and the Chiefs proposed policy will be on the City Council's June 27 agenda. We greatly appreciate your many years of attention to the applications and thank you and your staff for your efforts. Please feel free to call me, City Clerk Marian Karr, or Police Chief Hargadine if you have any questions or comments. V?i::~ Eleanor M.

I. PROCEDURE Prior to presentation of an application for a liquor license, beer permit or wine permit, or renewal of any of those to the City Council the Chief of Police or his or her designee will make an investigation to determine if the applicant is of "good moral character" as that term is defined in the State Code and rules of the Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division. With respect to renewal applications any investigation will include any relevant information about prior operations under the license or permit. Following such investigation the Chief or his designee will either approve or disapprove the application. Any disapproval will be in writing and will set forth the reasons for the disapproval. The investigation and, if applicable, the memo setting forth the reasons for disapproval, will be completed within 5 working days of the Chief's receipt of the application. In addition to a review of the application the Police Chief or his designee will perform a records check on the establishment's history and will review the DCI (Division of Criminal Investigation) criminal history reports provided by the applicant on each person with an ownership or management interest in the establishment. The following factors assume the establishment has been under continual ownership. II. FACTORS TO CONSIDER. In determining whether an applicant is of good moral character the factors to be considered by the Chief of Police or designee will include, but are not limited to, the following: . Sales of alcoholic beverages to persons under the legal age by the licensee or permittee or its employees or agents. Multiple occurrences will be considered as grounds for non-renewal. . Sales of alcoholic beverages to intoxicated persons by the licensee or permitee, or its employees or agents. Multiple occurrences will be considered as grounds for non-renewal. . Misrepresentation or withholding of any material fact in the license application or city addendums including, but not limited to the failure to identify management/supervisory staff and provide their DCI criminal histories. . Prior felony convictions of all persons with an ownership or management interest in the applicant will be reviewed. Per state code, a person with an ownership interest in the applicant, as defined by state code, may not have been convicted of a felony and the same rule should apply to those with a management interest. However, if the felony conviction occurred more than 5 years before the date of the application and the person's rights of citizenship have been restored by the governor, the Police Chief or designee may, after considering the nature of the crime and the person's history after the conviction, make a determination that the person is of good moral character notwithstanding the conviction. . Prior misdemeanor convictions of all persons with an ownership interest or a management interest in the applicant will be reviewed, particularly those relating to use of alcohol or illegal substances, including operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The mere presence of a conviction would not exclude a person from a license or renewal; however, if there was evidence that alcohol was a factor in this conviction it would be grounds for denial. The length of time since the conviction will be considered. Misdemeanor convictions older than five years will not be considered. . Conditions imposed by a Court on a person with an ownership or management interest in the applicant relating to use of alcoholic beverages and/or presence in establishments that serve alcoholic beverages. . Any refusal, failure or neglect by a licensee, permittee or its employees or agents to cooperate with any law enforcement officer in the performance of the officer's duties, including, but not limited to, inspections of the establishment. . Reports of law enforcement officers of incidents within or adjacent to the establishment, such as fighting, altercations and disorderly conduct, which suggest that the applicant does not have measures in place to adequately control the premises. . Over-occupancy . A pattern of convictions of persons within the establishment for PAULA (Possession of Alcohol Under Legal Age) and/or the local law prohibiting persons under 19 from being in licensed establishments, which suggest that the licensee or permittee does not have measures in place to adequately control access of persons under legal age to alcohol. The Police Chief or Designee shall review the establishment's rate of PAULAs per visit. A rate of 1.5 PAULAs per visit may be grounds for disapproval of the application. (See Attached) . Violation of any law or regulation which jeopardizes the health, safety or welfare of patrons of the establishment. . Corrective action taken by the licensee I permittee in response to warnings by the Police Department. Throughout the license year when violations come to light or the police department makes sales to minor cases, PAULA arrests or any liquor law citation warning letters will be sent to the licensee or permittee. Copies of these letters will be retained by the police department and will be considered in determining whether to approve or disapprove the application. . In the event a person with an ownership interest or management interest in the applicant has previously had an ownership or management interest in another establishment, relevant operation at that establishment, including the above factors, may be considered.
