Tho appl/canllnltlally roquosled CC.2 zoning on tho soulhem portion 01 this slle (the vaconl
portion currently zoned RM.44). Ho had not requested a zone change lor the nerthern portion
01 tho site (tho Draa contalnlng the City Eloctrlc building). He Indlcalod his Inlentlon to construC1
a mlxed.use building that may eontaln warohouslng, a showroom lor IIghtllxluros, and rosldentlal
usos on the second IIoor.
The CC'2 regulations allow only IImllod warehousing as an accossory use reslrfcted to 40% 01
total IIoor aroa. Tho existing Clly Eleetrlc building Is In non.compllanco wllh this roqulroment
(apparently as a non.conformlty) and the proposed building may also oxcoed tho amount 01
wareheuslng allowod In Ihe CC'2 dlstrlel For this reason, stall advised tho appllcnnl that the
Inlllally roquostod CC'2 zoning may nol allow the proposod dovolopmont. Tho application was
rovlsod to CI.l (Intonslvo Commercial) and oxpandod 10 Includo the current City Eloctrlc building.
The proposed Cl,l rogulaUons allow unrostrleted warehousing and thus would pormlt the
proposed developmont and wQykj bring th!l !lxlstlng City EJeelrfc development Into compllanco.
Tho curront RM.44 zoning on this proporty would allow Iho conslructlon 01 multl.famlly dwellings
with a minimum 01 1,000 square leet 01 lot aroa per unit; 35.1001 holghtllmltaUons; and the
maximum site coverage of 40%. In comparison, Iho proposod Cl'l zoning, In addition to
warehousing, would allow a varloty 01 Inlenso commercial uses wllh residential units being
permltlod abovo or below tho ground 1I00r as a spoclal exception.
As shown on tho 10caUon map (allachod), this proporty Is located In an aroa with a varloty 01
zonIng elasslflcaUons; Including CC'2, RM'145 (High Donslty Mulll.Famlly), RM-44, and CI'l. Tho
proposed Cl,l zenlng would bo conslstont with the existing CI'I zonIng to the wost and oasl 01
Ihls slto. Howovor, location 01 this silo on Gllbort Slreot, a major arterlal, ralsos concerns
regarding tho Intensity 01 cemmerelal uses allowod In tho CI.l district, the potontlalfor outdoor
slorage 01 morchandlso, and Ihe high tralflc gonoratlng usos that may dovolop In a Cl,l zono.
Theso concerns are addrossod bolow.

In Iho pasl, South Gllbort Slroet may havo been characterized as 8 corridor ollnlonso commerdal
devolopmont wllh buslnessos, such as Imploment dealors and oqulpmont rental firms, that
roqulrod ouldoor storage and Ihat may havo delracled Irom the aesthotlc appeal 01 this
commercial neighborhood, Howevor, recont ro,devolopmontln this vicInity has Includod new
mlxed.uso olflce/apartmont buildings, multl,lamlly buildings, rosloratlon 01 hlslorlc buildings, and
tho genoral Improvomont oflhe appearance of this corrldor. For this roason, semo 01 the more
Intense uses which require ouldoor display 01 merchandlso allowod In tho Cl,l dlstrlct may not
be approprlale. To addross this concorn, stall rocommonds that appreval ollho proposed CI.l
zoning bo subjoctto no outdoor display, slo'ago and/or salo of morchandlso bolng vlslblo from
Gllbort Stroet. This restriction would make the proposed Cl'l zoning moro eompallble wllh the
genorol commercial land use designation Indlcalod lor this proporty by the Comprehenslvo Plan.
II should also be noled lhat because the proposed Cl,l district Is localod adjacent to an RM.44
resldonllal district, exlenslve screenIng 01 any commorclal developmont on lhls site will bo
required by Secllon 36.760l(1)a. of the Zoning Ordlnanco.

This proporty has Ironlage and drIveway aecoss on Gilbert Strool According to tho applicant,
a second means 01 accoss Is provldod by a prlvalo accoss easemen~ which Is located ovor the
vacotod portion of Malden Lane, lecated botween the City Electrlc building 3Ild Iho adjacont
apartmonl building. Given the high Iralflc generallng uses allowed In tho proposod CI'I zone, and
the poor sight visibility at thIs loco lion due to the curve and railroad abulmont to tho south 01 this
slle, It would be approprlale to condlUon this rezoning to prohibit dlroel accoss 10 Gllberl Streel
In conformance wllh Ihe transportation policIes of the Comprehonslve Plan, Ihls condlUon would
help assuro thai the arlerlal stroet funcllon of Gilbert Slreotls not furthor diminished. exhibit A
(allached) Indicates Ihat accoss to Gilbert Stroot from this site would be via the vacatod portion
01 Malden Lane and Ihat the oxlstlng curb cut on Gilbert Streot would bo closed.
91her Consldoratlons
It should be nolad that a special excopllon granted lor the property at 525 South Gilbert Street
(Fitzpatrick's) to permit required oll,strcoI parking on D :llparalo lot, was subjoct 10 an agroomonl
with City Electrlc to provldCllour parking spacos fer Fltzpatrlck's on Iho City Eloctrlo proporty,
These spacos must bo provided In addition to the spacos that will be roqulrod lor the proposed
development.
It should also be noted by the applicant IIlhls zone chango Is approved, tho proposed rosldenUaJ
dovolopmont on this property will requlro an appUcallon to tho Board of Adjustmonl for a SpoclaJ
Exception te allow rosldentlal development above the ground floor 01 a cemmerclal building,
~:
Stall rocommonds tho approval 01 tho proposod zone chango from RM-44 to CI.l for an
approxlmato 1.5 aero parcellocatod at315 Prenllss Streel sUbJoct 10 tho following conditions:
1. No dlrecl access bolng allowod on Gllberl Streel:
2. The current curb cut on Gilbert Street bolng closed atlhe owne(s oxponse prIor to tho
Issuanca 01 a Certlflcato of Occupancy; and
3, No outdoor display, slorage and/er salo of morehandlse being vlslblo from Gilbert Slteot.
This rostrlctlon Is nol Inlendod to prohibit such acUvlUos located bohlnd a building and

P&Z INCLINATIO~
Based on Planning and Zoning Commission discussions ollhe rozonlng request, II appoars that the
Commission may docldo to condiUon Iho RS.S rozonlng approval dlfforently than slalf has
rocommended:
I
I. Tho Commission has discussed walvlng lho City's out,ol.sequonco policy requlrlng tho
developors to absorb on 01 tho cost 01 tho dovelopment. In oxchango for City subsldlzallon
01 the sanllary sewor trunk IIno, ovorwfdth waler lines, the wldor colleclor streolS, and tho
provision 01 active rocreallonal space, the dovolopor would agroo to provide modorately.prlced
housing. Somo 01 tho proposod dotalls for Ihls agroomonl are outllnod In Tom Scott's Oclober
2, 1990, momo to Ihe City Manager. (500 attaehod.)
2. Tho donslly bolng IImlled 10 IIvo dwolllng unlls por acro Is a condillon ag/ood on by stall, tho
Commission, and the dovOlOpor.
3. Thero appears to be agroomonl about tho Corps delineating the wotlands boundaries and
dotormlnlng whother a Soctlon 404 pormll Is neoded, allhough I bellovo the Commission Is
Inclined to requlro this prior to conslructlon plan approval, rathor Ihan pllor to prollmlnary plat
approval.
4. Thore Is agroomont on the wording which would limit basements In propos ad dovoloprnent.
5. A majority 01 Commission mombers havo expressed an Interest In having tho Proposed Pralrlo
Wotland Park with a Ioopod, rock pathway around tho perimeter of tho deslgnalod wotland
dodlcatod 10 tho City, ralhor than having a 2.75 acro activo rocroallon spaco, such os Q
neighborhood playground, provldod by tho devolopor.
S, Tho CommissIon Indlcolod Ihallhe neod for oll.slroot parking along Whlsporlng Prairie Avonue
from Lakoslde Drlvo to Whlsporlng Moadow Orlvo should be consldorod as part ollho
preliminary plat process, not as a condlUon of the zoning.

MEMORANDUM

To: Stephen J. Aikins, City Manager
From: Tom sco0.'~erson, Planning and ZonIng CommissIon
Ro: Affordablo HousIng Issue
I am aware that you reeently had your first moetlng wllh the newly'establlshed Iowa City Housing
Task Force. As a polnl of Information, the Planning and ZonIng CQmm~lon Is now conslderlng
a rezoning and subdivision proposal which poses the quostlon of whelher and by what moans tho
City should subsidize moderately.prlced housing.
Tho Whispering Moadows Subdivision, located soulh 01 Highway 6 and west 01 Bon Alre Mobile
Homes, Includes approximately 95 acres proposod for zero.lot line and slngle'famlly residential
development. thIs tract of land Is located In a portIon of the South Area, which according to the
Iowa City Comprehensive Plan, Is not antlclpatod for development until the years 2000,2010.
Further, tho City's policy for out.or.sequenee development, such as the proposed Whlsporlng
Meadows SubdIvisIon, Is that the development would be required to absorb ~
assoclalod with the devolopment, Including costs typically subsldlzod by the City. In this case,
costs would be bome by the devolopor for the sanllary sower trunk IIno, overwldth water IInos,
tho wider collector streets and tho provision of active recroatlonal spacej cosls ordinarily
subsldlzod by the City for In.sequenco development.
Because of the need for more affordable housIng In Iowa City and because tho location seoms
approprIate for a mOderately,prlced housIng development, tho PlannIng and ZonIng Commission
Is consldorlng rocommondlng City subsidization 01 the proposed dovolopmontln exchange lor a
commitment from tho devolopor to provide moderately.prlcod housIng. Baslcolly, the rezoning
approval would be condlUoned subject to tho doveloper agreolng to sell 50% of tho homes for
prlces at or below the FHA lending IImll, whIch at this time Is approxImately $74,500. The homes
are proposed to range In prlco rrom $60,000'$88,000, and be approximately 850 square feotto
1150 squoro foot In slzo.
Tho doclslon on this matter Is expectod to bo mado by the PlannIng and Zoning Commission on
October 4, 1990. Untortunaloly, this quostlon Is confronting lho Planning and Zoning Commission
prlor to the Housing Task Force formulating policy on affordablo housing. I did want you to be
aware 01 thIs Issue which will be coming boforo the Clly Council In the near fulure.

FROM:
Terry Trueblood,

Whisporing Moadows dovolopment
RE:
Per our discussions at tho joint stoff mooting, it is my porsonal
foeling that tho parkS and Roeroation Dopartment is not intorested
in owning or maintaining tho wetlonds oroo noor tho proposod
Whisporing Moodows dovelopment, This is not to soy thot it
shouldn't remoin os 0 designotod wotlonds oroo, but simply thot
city ownorship would not necessorily be advantageous,
It is also my fooling that 0 small noighborhood park (porhaps
two/throo acros in sizo) would be very ddsirable for this aroo,
whethor it be City-owned or not, From my point-of-view, wo would
bo willing to accept such property provided it hos suf!1eiont
access, is in nn appropriato location, and is 0 dosiroblo parcol
for pork purposes,
As stated, thoso ore my porsonal foelingsl if the Parks and
Recreation Commission or the city Managor fool difforently, I will
keep you informed,

wo wlsh to formally prlltest the applioation from Carol Barker to
rezone prllperty south of Highway 6 botween Bon Air ~obilo Homes
and Lnkeside Or from ID.RS to RS.8 Ilr RS.S,
While we understand the value ~f community growth, we question
tho opprllpriateness of developing this land, espeoially out of
Boquenoe frllm the Comprehensive Plan,
We obJeot due t~ the following.
I, 'l/e question if suoh an area is suitable for hou sing
fivon how low tho land is. Our baokyard is approprx.
mately three feet lower than our front yard, During
the June 16, 1990 storm, rain water in the street in
front of our house was up to the top of the ourb on
both oides of the street. Stsnding water behind our
houss, os well as )2 And )4 Amber Ln, was 10 and IS--.
feet wide. And there ore already drainsge ditches in
plaoe now. What would happen it there waD le88 soll ..,
nnd mllro ollnorste? These oonditiono also ooourred on
Auguot 19 with that etorm, During suoh storms, our
sump pump goes neerly oontinuouely, and we live in a
split foyer,
2. Sinoe this development would be out of sequenoe, this
means the devolopor would inour the oosts of sewer/
waterlines, streets, eto. Should this ooour, then one
wonders what happons to the oonoept of affordablo hous.
ing, Consequently, if over developed, we think it
8h~uld be between 2000 and 2010 as the oity originally
reoommended.

5. Additionally, the RdJ-cent park, Fairmeadows, is freq.
uently overcrowded RS woll. It io not uncommon for us
to find children ploying in tho stroet on Amber Ln,
which mny bo another indicator for more park space.
6. We wonder about tho added traffio congestion on Highway
6 And Lakeoide Dr, which would be exacerbated by more
children in tho area.
So, we have Davern reoorvations about the eppropriateness of even
developing this lnnd, let alone doing it out of sequence. There
are eoological nnd 300ial impliafttiono, to BUY nothing of the
cost.of.UvinC conoequence to all of us.
If this land oould approprietely oustain rosidential hOusing! it
appenro to us that city, school, nod park serviceo/availabil ty
neod to first be planned Rnd construoted before thore is nny more
houoing in thio aren,
ThAnk you in Advence for your consideration in this matter of imp.

Dear Gontlopeoplel
RoforonQo pl~aB~ our lottor of Soptombor 5, 1990, rogarding re-
zoning of property south of Highway 6 betwoon Bon Air Mobilo
Homes and Lakosido Dr from ID-RS to RS-B or RS-S,
We remain opposod to the proposal. In addition to that whioh
we noted in our abovo mentionod lettor, we wish to bring the fol-
lowing to your attention.
1. Wo roquest that an Environmontal Impaot ~tudy be oonduoted
by qualifiod biologists, Along with tho wotlands aroa,
this property inoludos seotions that have not boon plantod
in orops for at loast ovor.a deoado. . ; Consequently, it has
beoome a wildlifo habitat .with .many troos.and.tall grassos.
What would bo the ooologioal oonsequenoes from'dovolop-
ment? And why haven't tho unoultivated aroas boen ueod
tor orops? .Is it beoause it is .too 10w?I!t it is too
'low for orop~,.. w~~t.'la~.~~t ;h~~~,O:?:1.:, ,'. '\.I;'\}::r4;i,~.};;;,,:
2. A oall to Both Killion at thoolty wator departlllOnt on .
Soptomber 12, 1990, oonfirmed our obsorvation;that'our
aroa has had frequont water main broako'inruaont ~oars.
She explained thoro were "a lot" in our noighborhood, '
whioh sho attributod to "oorroo1on," If that is happon-
ing to the ourront infrastruoturo, what will happen if
thoro aro evon more houses?
J. The oorroding of wator lines is anothor indioatlon that
this aroa is aoouratoly desoribed as a ewamp. Intorviews
. with homo owners--inoluding original purohasors--on Amber/
Regal/Nevada in reoent weeks has revoaled that many of
them woro told at tho time of purohaso that the surround-
ing area would not bo doveloped duo to the swamp oonditions,
4. The oity is reoommonding that if thoro is devolopment that
the houses have no basements, full or half, thus oonfirm-
ing the low topgraphy of the area, If these homes wore

Therefore, wo continue to question tho approprintenooo of thio land

P.t>: P.eoz(lnlng Pr(lposaJ of Land ~htnd R~al/Am~r/llmda
I hm som~ major concerns r~ardlng the proposed rezoning of land dlr~Uy
~Illnd my prop~rty, ~ause or Ules~ concerns, I am opposed to the
r~zonlng and rljsldenUal development In Ulls ar~a.
TM 'rural" reeling or having rarmland and open spaClt beyond my property
played a large part In my desire to purchase my home, The attractiveness of
thiS area, I f~l, Will be much diminished by placing a residential
development In the proposed area, I have s~n deer In the fall, and fool that
destruction of this area will 00 detrimental to the existing Wildlife, Also, the
treeline along the proposed rezoning area behind Amber Lane provides a
nl~e W1ndbrljak to Ulls area,
I am eoneornod that my taxos wllllneroase duo to tho proposod
rozonlng ond dovolomont.
This arlja IS already densely populated and to Increase Ole popUlation In this
area Wllilncrease already problemaUc situations:
-Snow removal: Trav&1 along the roads In this arlja Is dlttlcult In
times of much pr~lpitate. The roads are subJ~t to much drifting and it
seems that It Is dlftlcult for the roads to be c1earod In a timely manner due
to the more major roads that take priority for snow removal. TIlls problem
would only Increase With the addition of another residential area,
- Wator Drainage/Flooding: The proposed development area behind
my property Is a loWland area; sUbl~t to standing water In times of high
rainfall. I am conClirnoo about water drainage; and flooding of surrounding
property If the proposod development area Is built, Would flooding occur In
times of high rainfall In the existing Amber Lane, Regal Lane, properties?
Will we be declared a dlsastor area like the areas In Coralville that flooded
this year? There have ooen frequent Incidents of burst water mains this
year; how WIll the already taxed storm drains handle the additional flow
from yet another residential area? Has the posslblllty or already Inadequate
water drainage and runott been explored In detail?

dmlopment will accentuate ibis existing problem. Will the school hm to
Implement crossing guards? Who will pay for ibiS? WUI Ibe current

Will our children be subleded to overcrowded classrooms? Would tile

able to ad~ualely sorve tile oxlsting and proposed areas?
.Ro(uso; It the proposed development Is constructed, additional City
waste and refuse crews would be r~ulred. Will tilts Increase the existing
residential areas (Amber Ln., Nevada, Regal Ln.) cost for garbage colloction7
