Re: Proposed Extension of Aber Avenue
You requested a brief summary of the impacts of connecting the two sides of Aber Avenue with
a bridge over Willow Creek. This improvement is projected In the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan,
which classifies Aber Avenue as a proposed secondary arterial street. I believe collector street
would be a more accurate functional classification of Aber if the two sides were connected. Both
ends of the street are currently functioning primarily as local residential streets.
The Issue of whether or not to connect the two sides of Aber can be reduced to the familiar issue
of traffic function versus adjacent neighborhood sensitivities.
Traffic Function
,
i
j
;~
" :l
,
!.
:',
According to the desired spacing of collector streets on a half-mile grid, Aber is a good location
for a collector. At the present time, the Aber/Cae system functions as a collector west of Willow
Creek. The Denbigh/Hafor/Teg system functions as a collector east of Willow Creek.
The principal pattern of traffic movement in the Aber Avenue area Is to and from the major activity
areas of Iowa City: the downtownlhospltal complex, and the Highway 1/Hlghway 6 commercial
area. Connecting the two sides of Aber Avenue would allow traffic west of Willow Creek to
circulate east via Sunset Street, instead of using Mormon Trek Boulevard. This would reduce
traffic volume on Mormon Trek Boulevard, most Importantly at the intersections with Highway 1,
Rohret Road and Benton Street. Our traffic analysis model shows a reduction In forecasttraHlc
volumes on Mormon Trek Boulevard of approximately 10.15% if the two ends of Aber Avenue
were connected.
Our arterial street plan forecasts do not show a capacity constraint on Mormon Trek Boulevard
with or without Aber connected. The long.range forecast does show a capacity constraint on
Sunset Street if Aber Avenue is connected. Connecting Aber Avenue will forestall the need for
traffic signal and capacity improvements to the Mormon Trek Boulevard intersections with
Highway 1 and Rohret Road, but these improvements are inevitable whether Aber is connected
or not.
;( 5~ 0
2
You asked specifically about the impact on Benton Street between Sunset and Mormon Trek from
connecllng Aber Avenue. Intuitively we would expect a reducllon In Benton Street traffic volume
with the construcllon of a parallel facility (Aber). Our traffic analysis model shows a 15-20%
reducllon in forecast traffic volumes on Benton Street if Aber Is connected. This Is reflected In
a similar Increase In volume on Aber Avenue.
Neighborhood Sensitivities
Because It Is currently a local resldenllal street, we do 'not have an average dally traffic count for
Aber Avenue. It is almost certainly below 1,000 and probably under 500. This represents !he
generallon of traffic from the adjacent residential area. Our traffic analysis model shows a
forecast traffic volume of up to 3,200 could be expected on Aber Avenue if the two sides are
connected. This Is considered a reasonable volume for a collector street, but reflects the
generation of traffic from a larger area than the Immediate residential development. This Increase
In traffic will undoubtedly'be perceived negallvely by persons living on Aber Avenue.
Please let me know If you have any questions regarding this Information.

ed in the western third of the subdivi-
sion. Portions of the property adjacent
to Willow Creek are within the 100
ye.ar floodplain.
BACKGROUND:
The final plat of Park West Subdivision, Part Ona, was racently approved by the City Council.
The applicant, K-M, is now requesting preliminary plat approval for Park West Subdivision,
Parts Two-Four. Proposed Parts Two-Four include 39 lots, and an approximate 14-acre parcel
of open space to be dedicated for the extension of Willow Creek Park. The storm water
detention facilities would be located within the proposed park land,
ANALYSIS:
Subdivision Design: Whan the subdivisions to the east and west of this property were
platted, they were designed to allow Aber Avenue to connect batween Mormon Trek
Boulevard and Sunsat Street. This connection could occur with this subdivision; however,
staff balieves that the merits of this connection should be re-examined, If the east and wast
sections of Aber Avenua were connected, it would serve as a collactor straet between
Mormon Trek Boulevard and Sunset Street and possibly provide an alternative route for some
of the traffic which currently uses Benton Street, However, a recent traffic model analysis,

conducted by JCCOG indicates that the connection would probably remove more traffic from
Mormon Trek Boulevard onto Aber Avenue, than traffic from Benton Street. The attached
memorandum from Jeff Davidson, Transportation Planner, pertains to this issue.
Although it is desirable to provide alternative east-west traffic routes for Benton Streat, it is
not desirable to remove traffic from Mormon Trek Boulev.ard, a major arteri.al, and direct it
onto a collector streat, in this c.ase, Aber Avenue. For this reason, staff believes that it would
be inappropriate to connect the aast and west sections of Aber Avenue. The plat as
submitted does not connact to the two portions of Aber Avenue.
The connection of Teg Drive and the eastern portion of Aber Avenue will allow these two
streets to serve as collectors, routing traffic from the center of the neighborhood to Benton
Street and Sunset Street. The eastern portion of Aber Avenue will have to ba renamed Tcg
Drive.
Open Space: The owners of the property, John and Allegra Dane, have indicated that they
will dedicate the open space locatad adjacent to and west of Willow Creek to the City for use
as park land. This parcel should be label ad as Lot 63 or an outlot.
Stormwater Management: The legal papers for Park West, Part One, specify that the City will
design and construct tha storm water detention facilities for this subdivision, providad that the
open space is dedicated to the City. The applicant has established an escrow fund to pay for'
the City's design and construction expanses.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the preliminary plat of Wast Park Subdivision, Parts Two-Four, ba
deferred. Upon resolution of the deficiencies and discrepancies listed below, staff
recommends that the plat be approved.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
1. The open space should ba labeled as Lot 63 or an outlot.
2. Park West, Part Dna should be labeled on the plat.
3. A revised grading plan should ba submitted to the Public Works Department.

Transportation:
Access is from West Side Drive vi.a
Mormon Trek Boulevard. Transit ser-
vice is .available from the Plaen View
route locatad to the northwest.
Physical char.acteristics:
The property is generally flat.
BACKGROUND:
West Side Park was originally zoned CI-l , Intensiva Commercial, and platted as a commerci.al
subdivision. In 1991, tha property was rezoned to RM-12, Low Dansity Multi-Family
Residential. In early 1992, Lots 25.32 located west of this proparty were replatted into
smaller residential lots.
Bacause of lot line shifts initiated by the developer, an auditor's plat was filed to create
Auditor's P.arcel H from Lot 6 and a portion of Lot 7 of Wast Side Park. The applicant now
wishes to split Auditor's Parcel H into two separate lots so that two buildings that are
currently being constructed on tha parcel can be sold indiVidually. This split requires form.al
subdivision plat approv.al.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed minor subdivision is fairly simple in that it is baing done to create two individual
lots. The required street right-of-way and public improvemants for this davelopment are
already in place. The plat as submitted contains minor deficiencies and discrepancies which
are listed at tha end of this report.
Bacause public improvemants are already in placa, construction plans are not required, Legal
documents have bean submitted to the City Attorney's Office and are under review.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the final plat of a subdivision of Auditor's Plat H, West Side P.ark, be
deferred. Upon resolution of the following deficiencies and discrepancies, staff recommends
that the subdivision be approved subject to approval of lagal documents prior to Council
consideration.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
1. The application should be for both preliminary and final plat approval,
2. The dimension between Lot 1 and 2 should be reported on the plat.
3. The correct square footage of each lot is 33,004 square feet. This should be corrected
on the plat.

BACKGROUND:
On February 23, 1988. tha Iowa City City Council conditionally razoned tha 84.73 acre tract
known as Southwest Estates from ID.RS and RR-1 to RS-5. The subject subdivision is a part
of the area that was rezoned. Given that the original approximate 85 acre parcel was not
regarded in sequence with the davelopment schedule anticipated with the 1983
Comprehansive Plan, conditions were placed on the rezoning of the 85 acre parcel that would
make subsequent development of tha land consistent with the out of sequence development
policy of the Comprehensive Plan, This policy was adopted by the City Council on January
26, 1988.
The subject parcel continues to be regarded as out of sequence with tha Comprehensive
Plan's development policy. As a consequence, subdivision of the proposed 15.50 acre parcal
will be subjected to the provisions of the 1988 conditional zoning agreement with respact to,
among other things, developer's obligation to pay overwidth paving and oversized water mains
or sewer line costs and to contribute toward cartain anticipated Improvements to the
Southwest Interceptor Sewer System. The following is an analysis of the proposed
davelopment.
ANAL YSIS:
Zonlna Ordinance ComDliance
The proposed subdivision is a 15.50 acre tract of land which is located in tha RS-5, Low
Density Single-Family Residential Zone. All of the proposed lots meet the minimum dimen.
sional requirements specified within the Ordinance for property located in the RS-5 zone.

Subdivision Code Comollance
Rohret Road Access: Rohret Road is expected, in the long run, to function as an east-west
arterial trafficway. However, Rohret Road is currently constructed with a rural cross-section.
Tha addition of the proposed 39 lots may increase pressure on the City to improve Rohret
Road. Currently, the City's three ye.ar Capital Improvements Program does not contain
funding for improvements of Rohret Road. In addition, on April 8, 1986, the City Council
resolved (#86-101) that no public improvements would be made to Rohret Road west of U.S.
218 or Slothower Road before 1998.
Street Patterns: The proposal allows for tha continuation of Phoenix Driva which serves as
a collector street for the Southwest Est.ates davelopment. The alignment of Phoenix Drive,
as shown in the proposad subdivision, offers sufficient flaxlbility such that its relationship with
Slothower Road in serving the subdivision and the entire southwest area can be more
precisely determined at another time.
Secondary Access: Secondary .access to the proposed development is not reflected on the
subject plat. As development of the tract proceeds westerly, it is expacted that secondary
access will ba provided via the intersection of Phoanix Drive with Slothower Road. Other
means of accessing this tract will also be available as land east and north of Southwest
Estates is developed .and streets presently stubbed out to the eastern and northern boundaries
of the development are extended to serve land north and east of the subject tract. These
means of secondary access are dependent, however, on the r.ate.at which future devalopment
occurs. Given the density of proposed development, the environmental characteristics of the
parcel, and the expectad trip generation on Phoanix Drive, no immediate naed for secondary
access exists.
Sanitary Sewer: Sanitary sewer service is constr.ained for this area of Iowa City due to the
situation with the Southwest Interceptor Sewer, near West High School, whare an 18"
sanitary sewer main feeds into a 1 A" sanitary sewer main. By previous agreement,
Southwest Estates was allowed to develop by paying a pro rata share toward the upgrade of
this sewer line. This agreement also applies to the subject parcels of land. Development of
tha proposed portions of Southwest Estetes may necessit.ate upgrading this senit.ary sewer
line to allow this development and development of other land depandent on that sewer Iina.
Upgrade of this segment of the Southwast Interceptor Sewer is being proposed as part of the
FY1994 Capital Improvements Program.
Storm water Management System: Storm water management provisions for the proposed
subdivisions are accommodated by stormw.ater management facilities constructed in Part 4,
Part 6 and areas merked "Future Development" of the Southwest Estates development.
However, preliminary stormwater calculations should be submitted with this application.
Relmbursemant: The City has not reimbursed tha developer of Southwest Estates for
oversized water mains or overwidth pavement in the previous parts of the development as per
the conditional zoning agreement. Circumstances speiled oul in the conditional zoning
.agreement which would require the City to reimburse tha developer for oversized
JS~3
"
"
-.
4
improvements have not yet occurred. Therefore, no reimbursement should ba paid for the
development of Parts Five and Six at this time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that consideration of the praliminary plat of Southwest Estates Subdivision
Parts Fiva and Six be deferred, but that, upon submission and approval of preliminary
stormwater calculations and correction of the width of the sanitary sewer and utility easement
on Lot 106, as noted on the plat, staff recommends that the plat be approved.

A. SUMMARY OF CHAS DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
For this update of the one-year action plan, the approximately 30 housing and human
service agencies that participated last year in the development of the five-year CHAS
were contacted. They were asked to update staff on their plans for seeking funding
and for the type and number of households that will be assisted.
Planning staff met several times before a larger group of City staff from different
departments met to discuss priorities and objectives for the 1993 fiscal year.
Representatives of the Johnson County Council of Governments attended this meeting,
too.
Once a draft of a clearly defined set of objectives was outlined, both the Housing
Commission and the Committee on Community Needs discussed and had input into the
draft at public meetings. Members of the Affordable Housing Task Force (now
defunct) and other interested citizens were also sent copies of the draft and invited to
comment in writing or at the public hearing. City staff incorporated the views and
comments received from all of these groups.
A notice was published in the local newspaper on October 22, 1992, announcing the.
30-day public comment period and the availability of the draft 1993 CHAS Annual Plan
at various public locations. On the same day, the newspaper also ran a display ad
summarizing the new one-year objectives. Two local cable TV channels also ran
notices for the CHAS and the public hearing, beginning the week of October 19 and
running through November 10, 1992.
. ,
Finally, a formal public hearing was held on November 10. 1992, at the City Council
meeting (notice of the hearing was published on November 5, 1992. and press
releases sent to the news media). The priorities and objectives of the City were further
discussed at this meeting. See the Summary of Citizen Comments in part E of this
report for a detailed account of the community's concerns and comments.

C. OTHER ACTIONS
I. Public Policies
Many of the traditional barriers to affordable housing due to public policies that are
frequently cited elsewhere, do not appear in Iowa City. Zoning is not exclusionary, planned
unit developments and zero lot line construction are permitted; accessory apartments are
permitted under certain conditions, and manufactured housing is permitted in all single-family
residential zones; the approval process is relatively speedy. Nonetheless, barriers to
affordable housing do exist.
Some barriers to affordeble housing exist on the demand side -- that is, potential low- and
moderate-income renters and homeowners are not able to rent or purchase available housing
units. The units exist but they are not affordable. A rental survey done in 1989 shows that
on average, the mean rents of vacant units is higher than the overall mean rent for two- and
three-bedroom units. Either the vacant units are mainly four-bedroom (unlikely since the
demand for large units is great) or the rents for vacant units are too high for potential renter
households. According to a study done in 1988 on low-income homeownership needs in
Iowa City, the three general obstacles to owning a home are 1) lack of downpayment
assistance, 2) high monthly mortgage payments, and 3) lack of funds to finance repairs.
One other barrier on the demand side is the perception by some potential owners that a
home must be a single-family detached structure; not a townhouse or a condominium.
The supply-side barriers that the community can address are discussed here. There is a
shortage of affordable rental and owner-occupied housing units in Iowa City. New
construction and a continuation of rehabilitation programs is badly needed. The possible
barriers to the construction and rehabilitation of affordable units in the City are seen to be:
1. land use controls
2. development standards
3, building codes, including housing standards
4. community attitude
5. lack of resources
6. lack of properties suitable for rehabilitation
7. federal and state regulations
The first three items involve regulatory reform. When regulations are modified, the benefits
of relaxing standards must be weighed against liabilities. Regulations are based on the need
for protecting the public health, safety, and welfare. When relaxing standards, these
community values cannot be sacrificed. Other decisions can be political and fall into a
different category of barrier -- the attitude of the community, including decisionmakers.
Last, resources are increasingly becoming a barrier to building, maintaining, and rehabilitating
housing as well as administering programs for housing and supportive services. It is no
longer enough to have good intentions and programs that work. As resources shrink,
priorities must be set, and difficult decisions have to be made as to what cen continue to be
supported.

i'\}tll ,: .:1 .'~'\

Land use controls
Land use controls include zoning, growth management policies, and subdivision regulations.
Although zoning is intended to protect the health and welfare of a community, and it is
useful for prohibiting dangerous and incompatible uses, it can also act as a powerful
disincentive to the development of affordable housing. Iowa City's zoning regulations should
be examined regularly to see where codes may be unnecessarily stringent, or where zoning
perhaps is no longer in accordance with the community's goals, as stated in the
Comprehensive Plan; ide8l1y, the zoning code implements the Plan.
Density controls are one way to increase the supply of developable land, alleviating the
impact of land shortages on housing and land costs. Rents and home prices will likely be
higher, and developable land in shorter supply, if zoning and other public policies keep the
density lower than it would be in a free market. Some techniques used to increase allowable
density were implemented in FY92 for a portion of the Central Business District. The
Planned High Density Multi-Family Residential Zone (PRM) replaces the RM-145 ,zone located
south of Burlington Street, or the Near South Side. It reflects policies and priorities,
discussed in the CHAS five-year plan, specifically the need for affordable rental units .for
small households.
The PRM zone allows a density of approximately 50 dwelling units per acre, but contains a
provision allowing higher densities for one-bedroom units (approximately 62 units por acre)
and efficiencies (approximately 87 units per acre). The zone also contains provisions that
allow additional dwelling units per acre, additional building bulk, and/or reductions to required
yard area, in exchange for public benefit features. such as affordable hOUSing and additional
open space and landscaping.
The PRM zone also contains a set of design provisions which are intended to address
concerns regarding aesthetics and the effects of these higher density residential
developments on adjacent properties. These design provisions should help assure that
projects within the PRM zone result in a pleasant residentiai, environment, and do not detract
from adjacent properties.
In the CB-5 zone, also in the Near South Side, residential, units that are part of a City-
approved affordable housing program are exempt from the minimum parking requirements,
provided that those units do not exceed 30 percent of the building's total units.
Techniques in place include conditional uses, reduced minimum requirements for Planned
Unit Developments, and zero lot line zoning.
Other techniques to be examined are:
· rezoning
· encouraging accessory dwellings units
· reduced setbacks
· zoning for manufactured homes
-18-
,c., '.'.r'
,~ . .
~5.3~
".
· modification of the occupancy standards
Growth management policies will also be examined in relation to the quality of life for all
residents of Iowa City.
DeveloDment standards
Iowa City needs to reevaluate public works standards to see if housing and development
costs might be lowered. Standards for such items as curbs, sidewalks, and streets should
reflect current technology, usage and needs. However, in FY93, Iowa City must spend
considerable time and resources to implement changes, especially in sidewalk reconstruction,
required by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Buildino codes. includino housino standards
Building codes, which include housing standards, may contribute directly or indirectly to an
increased cost of development. The City's standards are and will continue to be updated
every two years to take advantage of the latest technology in building materials and
construction techniques. The City will continue to balance housing affordability and the
health and safety of all its citizens. ' ,
However, any significant costs to be saved are more likely to be found in development
standards and the zoning ordinance. Studies have shown that life/safety bUilding codes are
not significant contributors to overall housing costs.
Communitv attitude
There are a number of fears that will surface In any community surrounding the construction
of new housing and regulatory reform. The City must deal with these concerns and
perceptions or misperceptions.
If higher densities are used to foster affordable housing development, the greatest concern
of existing residents will be that property values will be lowered. Concern aboutproperty
values often is also raised with the development of certein housing types: housing for
persons with chronic mental illness, single-room occupancies, and low-income complexes.
In addition, some regulatory reform, such as a streamlining of procedures, is often seen as
"selling out to developers". Some people may automatically equate a less complex and less
time-consuming process for the developer with the City's abandonment of standards meant
to protect the community. Some persons also view City subsidies to for.profit developers
for the construction of affordable housing as an individual subsidy to the developer rather
than a necessary incentive to the production of affordable units.
-19.
cJ53~
.. 1

, ,
There may also be concerns that the lowering of certain standards in order to build
affordable housing at lower cost is discriminatory. That is, that if people have low incomes,
they will have to give up some amount of safety, convenience, or security in order to live
in a home they can afford.
Successful regulatory reform and new construction will only be possible if the fears and
concerns of the community are addressed. One way the City has begun to address the
community's concerns is through the formation of neighborhood associations. The City's
staff l.iaison to these associations is a planner, who facilitates dialogue among neighbors and
allays many of the fears and concerns that' neighbors have, often times due to
misinformation or misunderstanding.
Lack of resources
At the state and federal levels. financial resources are shrinking or disappearing. This lack
of resources will increasingly become a barrier to the construction and rehabilitation of
affordable housing. It will be up to the City to take advantage of all available funding
sources.
The supply of land on which to build affordable housing is extremely limited in Iowa City.
First, there are few in fill properties on which to build and little vacant land suitable for
affordable new rental units that is close to jobs, transportation. schools, and shopping.
Second, there are no areas of dilapidated or vacant housing that could be demolished to
provide land for new construction or gutted for comprehensive rehabilitation. Third, there
are only a small number of land developers thus little competition, keeping costs high.
Fourth, a considerable amount of land within the City limits is publicly-owned by the City,
County, and State. However, the City owns virtually no vacant land that could be used for
new residential construction. Last, there has been a great demand in the past for large,
higher-cost homes. Iowa City has a large number of people who have relocated here from
communities where housing is more expensive. To avoid capital gains taxes, these new
residents must reinvest a considerable amount of money in their homes. Also, there is a
high housing turnover rate in Iowa City, and since owners want to realize a profit, prices rise
qUickly in Iowa City. As a result, builders have chosen to build fewer, expensive homes
rather than more, moderately-priced homes.
Perhaps as demand shifts, so will builders' preferences slowly change. At present, however,
there is only one for-profit developer in Iowa City who has found it feasible to build
affordable rental housing in this market. Even then. these projects have necessitated
complex financing methods and large subsidies from the City. The City has been willing to
give up thousands of dollars in property taxes in order to increase affordable rental housing,
the highest priority for housing, but many more units need to be built in orderto begin to
alleviate the problem.

Lack of orooerties suitable for rehabilitation
Iowa City has no neighborhood that could be considered blighted; there are no entire blocks
that are boarded up or vacant, that could be acquired and rehabilitated. There are few
structures that are vacant at all (see 1992-1996 CHAS, page 26).
Federal and state reQulations
City resources for affordable housing or any other potential new initiatives have been very
limited because of existing State of Iowa law. Current State law does not allow cities to
increase taxes or bond for the purchase of land, construction, or rehabilitation of affordable
housing. To aggravate this situation. the State of Iowa has imposed a property tax freeze
for fiscal years 1994 and 1995 based on FY1993 property tax dollars. This further
decreases the City's ability to fund not only existing programs but new initiatives for the
provision of affordable housing. More creative solutions for affo;dable housing become more
and more difficult because of these legal barriers.
At the national level. federal housing aid was cut by some 70 percent in the 1980s--a larger
cut than for any other major federal activity. While the new HOME program will surely do
some good, this program contains certain constraints that may make it difficult for cities to
use the monies efficiently and to help those who most need it. Four complaints that have
been voiced most frequently are the match requirements, the ability to layer HOME with
other federal funds, and the limitation on new construction, especially when other federal
funds for new construction no longer exist. 'The fourth complaint relates to the difficulties
of time restraints and varying regulations imposed by state and federal programs, which
must be combined in order to provide affordable housing. In the case of this new program.
the resources are being offered, but the attached regulations are creating barriers to their
best use.

This section will examine the institutional structure of the Iowa City housing delivery
system. the strengths and weaknesses of each part of the machinery, and what the
community can do to fill existing gaps in the system.
Public Sector. The public sector includes many very different organizations, but, in
general, the strength of public institutions is that they are made up of individuals with
technical expertise. They develop and administer many successful housing programs,
have knowledge of what the housing needs and programs are, and have experience
working in a political setting. Governments. in addition, heve regulatory power, taxing
capabilities (when their use is permittedll, and capital assets, such as land. In Iowa
City, however, the city government does not have land on which it could build
affordable housing.
At the federal and state levels, especially, resources in the form of funding and staff
are being cut. Perhaps the greatest weakness of these institutions is the inability of
, localities to rely on them in the development of a long-range strategy. The inflexibility
of state and federal regulations and funding has been identified by local nonprofit
agencies in Iowa City as a deterrent to the efficient provision of their servic.es. The
largest portion of funds for housing still come from the federal government and will
probably continue to do so. This planning year, in particular, considerable uncertainty
exists surrounding the HOME program -- funding, regulations, and match requirements.
The state provides less in funding, but could potentially be of great assistance to
localities in the coordination of housing delivery on a regional basis. The State should
include in its CHAS information on the needs of local agencies, particularly the need
to provide assistance to localities in coordinating housing services. Representatives
of housing and human service agencies in Iowa City have discussed the necessity of
communicating their particular needs to state officials.
Regionally, the City has discussed housing strategies on a regional level with several
groups and will continue to do so. These groups include Institute for Social and
Economic Development; Johnson County Council of Governments; East Central Iowa
Council of Governments; Ecumenical Consultation; and Habitat for Humanity. Another
new group has also been formed that will look at homeless issues countywide, the
Local Homeless Coordinating Board. One staffmember is on that board.
At the local level, the Departments of Planning and Community Development (PCD)
and Housing and Inspection Services (HIS) are responsible for preparing and monitoring
the CHAS. PCD has also been the coordinating body to which local financial
institutions came in FV92 in order to pool funds to assist a private nonprofit agency
in acquiring and rehabilitating low-income rental units. These institutions wish to do
more for housing in the community in FY93. They will look to PCD in planning some
type of ongoing program.
HIS administers the Public Housing Authority; it is active in the sale of Public Housing
units, Public Housing acquisition, and the Family Self-Sufficiency Program.

Private for-profit. Private for-profit institutions --lenders, developers, contractors, and
local corporations -- have tremendous resources that could be put toward affordable
housing. but they have certain weaknesses as well. The government's need to provide
affordable housing comes originally from the private sector's inability to sufficiently do
so. The weaknesses of these institutions are that the provision of affordable housing
is not their primary mission. They also may have limited knowledge about the housing
needs of low-income families and the special needs of persons with physical and
mental problems. A lack of suitable land on which to build affordable housing also
hinders the private sector.
The private sector's strengths and resources are many and include financial resources,
underwriting capabilities, community recognition, fund raising ability, skilled people,
tax credits, and technical skills in finance and construction.
The private sector is an essential component in any affordable housing strategy in Iowa
City. All sectors of a community need to participate in the provision of affordable
housing for its citizens. The resources and expertise of for-profit institutions should
be tapped, perhaps in the context of a public/private housing partnership.
Recently the City and private sector individuais have made increased efforts at
cooperation. The Iowa City Affordable Housing Task Force, established in September
1990 to address the affordable housing needs of the City, was made up of local
lenders, developers, builders, members of community organizations, and others. The
Task Force developed a series of recommendations on such issues as home ownership,
rental housing, housing conservation and diversity, fair housing, new sources of
capital, and public/private cooperation and coordination. Many of the tasks they
recommended would be accomplished by private sector representatives. and many
would be jointly undertaken by the City and the private sector.
As mentioned above, several financial institutions in Iowa City have joined to assist a
private nonprofit entity in acquiring and rehabilitating low-income rental units. These
institutions would like to do more in the coming year, but are lacking in strong
leadership; to date, leadership in this area has come from the City.
Private nonprofit. Iowa City's nonprofit agencies have many advantages; they are run
by knowledgeable and committed individuals. Many agencies have successfully run
programs for housing and supportive services for long periods of time and often have
reputations that reach far beyond the city limits. The nonprofits have experience in
fund raising, and in dealing with persons with special needs -- the elderly, persons with
disabilities and mental illness, runaway youths and single, teenage parents, and people
who have been abused. One private, nonprofit housing developer is gaining experience
as well. The City will continue to work with these agencies so that Iowa City's efforts
in the provision of housing are sensitive to the needs of its population.
Nonprofit organizations are struggling and scrambling for funds more than ever before.
Limited resources mean that there are severe shortages of time, staff, funding, and

space. As this happens, more people who need help go without it, making bad
situations even worse. The City will work with these agencies to assist in the
coordination of funding source information, review of certain regulations, and other
actions.
Among other activities, CDBG projects in the 1992 program year partially funded two
such human service agencies' acquisitions of additional space, in both cases
immediately adjacent to their existing facilities. CDBG funds are also helping a non-
profit housing developer to acquire low-income rental units, for which the local lenders
are also contributing, as mentioned above.
III. Public Housing Improvements
The public housing stock in Iowa City is relatively new, with most of the units
constructed around 1985. It is well maintained and not in need of rehabilitation or
demolition et this time.
Iv. Public Housing Resident Initiatives
The Public Housing Authority has initiated the development of resident associations in
two housing developments (Shamrock and Broadway apartments). These associations
are involved in decision making concerning prospective housing developments, and in
tenant selection.

D. CERTIFICATIONS
I. Relocation Policy and Anti-Displacement
In 1988, the City adopted a plan to minimize the displacement and relocation of low-
income residents by local actions. Specifically, the City will review each project
individually for its impact on displacement and the continuing availability of low-income
dwelling units. If demolition or conversion is unavoidable in order to accomplish the
objectives of the project, the City will mitigate the effects by one-far-one replacement
of units within three years of the commencement of the action. Additionally, the City
will provide relocation assistance to existing occupants displaced by the action.
The jurisdiction hereby, certifies that it is in compliance with a residential
anti displacement and relocation assistance plan under Section 104(d) of the Housing
and Community Development Act of 1974.
.

II. Fair Housing
The City, through the Human Rights Coordinator, monitors all housing discrimination
complaints, reviews housing advertisements, distributes information to local realtors
and housing developers, and provides input into City actions which may impact
specific populations.
The jurisdiction hereby certifies that it will affirmatively further fair housing.
,

iii. Section 504 Requirements
The City's Section 504 Plan was reviewed by a committee composed of local
advocates and persons with disabilities as well as housing providers and accessibility
design experts, Recommendations were incorporated into a revised plan which was
adopted by the City Council. The City's housing rehab and building inspection staff
will provide ongoing monitoring of plans and specifications for new construction and

E. SUMMARY OF CITIZEN COMMENTS
The public comment period for the 1993 CHAS Annual Plan ran from October 23
through November 22, 1992. In addition to a public notice in the local paper, a larger
display advertisement summarizing the one-year objectives was also published. Copies
of the draft CHAS were available to the public in several public locations throughout
the City. Both the Committee on Community Needs and the Housing Commission
recommended approval of the 1993 CHAS. On November 10, 1992, the City Council
held a public hearing on the 1993 CHAS. The citizen comments received, along with
the City's responses, are summarized below.
One affordable housing developer indicated support for the document and asked that
another project, to develop 48 two- and three-bedroom affordable rental units, be
added to section (BHi),the 1993 One-Year Action Plan. This project was added on
page 3.
One person commented on the project to sell five units of Public Housing and wanted
to know what type of plan or investigation would be done prior to the actual sale.
Specific questions had to do with displacement of tenants; type of replacement (new
units vs. vouchers/certificates); purchaser qualifications; loan servicing; future resale;
and costs to the City for the project. These questions are being investigated at the
present time while in the process of developing a program for the sale of Public
Housing. The program will be reviewed and approved by the City Council before any
units would be sold.
Another commenter noted that the East Central Iowa Council of Governments was
inadvertently left out of the objective to study regional housing needs (added, see page
5) and from the list of local entities in the public sector (added, see page 22). A
paragraph was added on page 23 which names the groups involved in studying
affordable housing needs countywide.
