AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 32.1, IOWA CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES, "TAXA- TION AND REVENUES" BY AMENDING ARTICLE VI, ENTITLED "PARKING FACILITY IMPACT FEE ORDINANCE". WHEREAS, the City has adopted the Near Southside Neighborhood redevelopment plan to guide the development in the Near Southside Neighborhood; and WHEREAS, the parking facility impact fee ordinance will assist in the implementation of the plan, and guide the use and development of land so as to assure that new residential development and new commercial development in the Near Southside Neighborhood bears a proportionate share of the cost of capital expenditures necessary to provide parking in the Near Southside Neighborhood of Iowa City. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IOWA CITY, IOWA: SECTION I. AMENDMENT. That Chapter 31.2, entitled "Taxation and Revenues," of the Iowa City Code of Ordinances is amended bv repealing Chapter 31.2, Articles VI, entitled, "Parking Facilitv Impact Fee Ordinance," and addinQ thereto a new Chapter 31.2, Article VI to read as follows BY tho adoption of tho followiRg nO'.'I ar-tialo: Article VI. Parking Facility Impact Fee Ordinance Section 32.1-110. LeQislative FindinQs. The City Council of Iowa City, Iowa, finds, determines and declares that: A. Without the provision of adequate vehicular parking spaces, residential development and redevelopment in the Near Southside Neighborhood and commercial development and redevelopment in the Near Southside Neighborhood is contrary to the public interest. B. It is undesirable to devote significant portions of development sites to parking in the Near Southside Neighborhood, since it is in the public interest to develop land now available in the Neighborhood for more intensive residential and commercial uses. C. The City needs to expand its parking facility system to accommodate new development in order to ensure adequate parking, and the City Council recognizes such expansion is necessary to promote and protect the public health, safety and welfare. D. City involvement in the expansion of the parking facility system is appropriate due to the scale and cost of such facilities, and is necessary due to the anticipated high level of use of such a parking facility by the general public. E. The imposition of impact fees is one of the preferred methods of ensuring that new development bears a proportionate share of the cost of parking facilities necessary to accommodate such development. F. New residential development and new commercial d~ in the Near Southside Neighborhood will create demand for the construction of parking facilities. G. The fee established in Section 32.1-114 hereof is derived from, based upon, and does not exceed the cost of providing additional parking facilities necessitated by the new residential development and new commercial development for which the fee is to be charged. H, The fee established by this ordinance does not constitute a tax. Section 32.1-111. Title, Authoritv and Applicabilitv. A, This ordinance shall be known and may be cited as the "Near Southside Neighborhood Parking Facility Impact Fee Ordinance." B. The City Council of Iowa City, Iowa has the authority to adopt this ordinance under its Home Rule powers, pursuant to Article III, Section 38A of the Constitution of the State of Iowa, and Chapter 364, Code of Iowa (1991). C. This ordinance shall apply to all real property within the Near Southside Neighborhood as defined in the Near Southside Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan.

Section 32.1-112. Intents and Purposes. A. This ordinance is intended to assist in the implementation of the Iowa City Comprehen- sive Plan and the Near Southside Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan. B. The purpose of this ordinance is to regulate the use and development of land so as to ensure that new residential development and new commercial development bears a proportionate share of the cost of capital expenditures necessary to provide parking in the Near Southside Neighborhood of Iowa City. Section 32.1-113. Definitions. A. A "residential fee payor" is a person applying for the issuance of a building permit for residential development in the Near Southside Neighborhood. ~ A "commercial fee payor" is a person applyinq for the issuance of a buildinq permit for commercial development in the Near Southside Neiqhborhood. C. "Commercial uses" and "commercial development." for the purposes of this ordinance. shall be defined as any non-residential uses requirinq parkinq per Sec. 36.58(a) of the Zoning Ordinance. QB. A "capital improvement" includes land acquisition, site improvements, buildings and equipment necessary for a parking facility, but excludes maintenance and operation of such facility. gG. A "capital cost" shall also include the costs of design, engineering, necessary - consultants and financing of a capital improvement, including debt service. ,Eg. A "parking facility" is a ramp, surface lot or combination thereof, designed to accommodate the off-street parking of motor vehicles. Ge. The "Near Southside Neighborhood" is that area of Iowa City bounded by Burlington = Street on the north, Gilbert Street on the east, the Iowa Interstate Railway Main Line on the south, and Madison Street on the west, and as defined in the Near Southside Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan. Section 32.1-114. Parkinq Facility Impact Fee Authorized. A. Any person who, after the effective date of this ordinance, seeks to develop land within the Near Southside Neighborhood by applying for a building permit for residential use or by applyinq for a buildinq permit for commercial use is hereby required to pay a parking facility impact fee in the manner and amount set forth in this ordinance. B. No new building permit for residential use or commercial use requiring the payment of an impact fee pursuant to this ordinance shall be issued unless and until the parking facility impact fee hereby required has been paid. Section 32.1-115. Computation of the Amount of the Parkinq Facility Impact Fee. A. The impact fee imposed by this ordinance is based upon current best estimates of the capital improvement costs of the construction of a parking facility in the Near Southside Neighborhood. Based upon ~ architects' estimates of construction costs of $10,000 per parking space constructed, and land costs of approximately $16 per square foot, the City Council finds that such capital improvement costs total in the amount of at least $12,000 per parking space in 1992 dollars. B. The City Council further finds that given current Department of Planning & Community Development estimates of new residential development in the Near Southside Neighborhood and new commercial development in the Near Souths ide Neighborhood and given the City's ability to manipulate parking system rates, monthly permit policies and on-street parking ordinances, the use of a parking facility in the Near Southside Neighborhood will be apportioned 3341a% to users attributable to new residential development in the Near Southside Neighborhood, 17% to users attributable to new ", .~. ,..,. r'" . /~,O Ij 11 ".j' , ;\ ;, 14 ~i ill' ; ,', I , ~ I r I " ...-~ , ~..), . .\ '. -. :~1 " /.-.- , i , \ '-'~ i \ \ I " . , \' , '" :'~ rH}-\ I i" -,..... ,1(--'-0 ~ ~-~----_._-- . " . '" . .t\\t., , ". . . ..,-:,1,'" Ordinance No. Page 3 commercial development in the Near Southside Neiqhborhood and 50% ~ to users from other areas. C. Based on the foregoing, the amount of the parking facility impact fee required by this ordinance, in 1992 dollars, shall be $4,000 per parking space for residential uses and ~2,000 per parkin!:! space for commercial uses. The per space parkin!:! facility impact fee shall be adjusted annually accordin!:! to the provisions of Section 32.1-123. D. In order that available land in the Near Southside Neighborhood is intensively used, and that a portion of residential and commercial parking is combined in a parking facility rather than scattered throughout the Near Southside Neighborhood, the Council finds that the parking facility impact fee shall be paid in lieu of providing 50% of the parking spaces otherwise required by the Zoning Ordinance for residential uses. Ib! Council further finds that the parkin!:! facility impact fee shall be paid in lieu of providinq that portion of the parkinq spaces otherwise required by the Zonin!:! Ordinance for commercial uses and not provided on the site. The parkin!:! facility impact fee may be paid in lieu of providing UP to 100% of the required commercial parking spaces on the site. E. 'Tile total residential parking facility impact fee required by this ordinance shall be calculated by multiplying by 50% the number of parking spaces otherwise required by the Zoning Ordinance for residential uses, and multiplying that product by the per space parking facility impact fee amount, as expressed in the formula: (RPS x .5) x IF = TF where RPS is the number of parking spaces otherwise required by the zoning ordinance for residential use, IF is the per space parking facility impact feD, ourrontly in the aFAount of $4,000, and TF is the total parking facility impact fee required by this ordinance. .E: The total commercial parkin!:! facility impact fee required by this ordinance shall be calculated by multiplying the number of parkin!:! spaces otherwise required by the Zoninq Ordinance for commercial uses and not provided on-site by the per space parkinq facility impact fee amount, as expressed in the formula: CPS x IF = TF where CPS is the number of parkin!:! spaces otherwise required by the Zoninq Ordinance for commercial uses and not provided on-site, IF is the ~ace parking Jmpact fee and TF is the total parkinq imPact fee required by this ordinance. Section 32.1-116. Payment of Fee. A. The residential fee payors and commercial fee payors shall pay the total parking facility impact fee required by this ordinance to the City Manager or designee prior to the issuance of a building permit. B. All fees collected shall be promptly transferred for deposit in the Near Southside Neighborhood Parking Facility Restricted Fund, established in Section 32.1-118 hereof and held there and used solely for the purposes specified in this ordinance. Section 32.1-117. On-Site Parkin!:! Spaces. A. Notwithstanding provisions of the Zoning Ordinance which may be to the contrary, payment of the parking facility impact fee shall entitle the residential fee payor to provide no less than 50% of the parking spaces otherwise required for residential uses on the site and the commercial fee payor may provide up to 100% of the parkinq ~paces otherwise required for commercial uses on the site. B. Those parking spaces provided on-site after payment of the parking facility impact fee shall: 1. Be sized in accordance with the prevailing proportionality requirements of the zoning ordinance regarding standard and compact car sized spaces; and - --- ---- ~ 0,'). ,.. . r ~ I [I I ~ 1" ,; 1/:, . ~O .

There is hereby established the Near Southside Neighborhood Parking Facility Impact Fee Restricted Fund. B. Monies held in the Restricted Fund, including any accrued interest, shall be used solely for the purpose of the capital improvement of parking facilities to be located in the Near Southside Neighborhood, and shall not be used for maintenance or operation. C. Monies shall be expended in the order in which they are collected. D. In the event that bonds or similar debt instruments are issued for the construction of capital facilities for which parking facility impact fees are to be expended, monies held in the restricted fund may be used to pay debt service on such bonds or similar debt instruments, as capital costs. E. At least once each fiscal year the City Manager or designee shall present to the City Council an accounting of the Restricted Fund. F. Monies in the Restricted Fund may be used to provide refunds as provided in Section 32.1-119 hereof. G. Monies in the Restricted Fund shall be used for the purposes enumerated herein, exclusive of all others, and shall remain inviolate within the Restricted Fund. Section 32.1-119. Refund of Fees Paid. A. If a building permit for residential use or commercial use for which an impact fee was paid expires without commencement of construction, then the fee payor shall be entitled to a refund, without interest, of the impact fee paid as a condition for the issu- ance of the permit, except that the City shall retain 3% as an administrative fee to offset a portion of the costs of collection and refund. The fee payor must submit an application for such refund to the City Manager or designee within 30 calendar days of the expiration of the permit. Failure of the fee payor to make application for refund within said 30 days may result in forfeiture. B. Any funds not expended or which remain unencumbered by the end of the calendar quarter immediately following five years from the date the impact fee was paid shall, upon application of the fee payor or the fee payor's successor in interest, be returned to such fee payor with interest at the rates earned by the Restricted Fund during such time as the fees were held in the fund, provided the fee payor submits an application for the refund to the City Manager or designee within 180 calendar days of the expira- tion of the five-year period. As used in this subsection, funds shall be deemed 'encumbered' if the City Council has approved a contract for acquisition and/or con- struction of a parking facility in the Near Southside Neighborhood. Section 32.1-120. Exemptions. The following shall be exempted from the requirements of this ordinance: A. Residential development which constitutes 'elderly housing' as defined in the Zoning Ordinance. B. Historic properties, identified in the Near Southside Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan, to the extent that the impact fee provided herein must be paid, but the fee payor shall not be required to provide the on-site parking spaces otherwise required. ~ I, " I , I , I , ! i: II~" I !

We also believe there has been insufficient time for the business community to react to the proposal. Because the plan involves a great deal of taxpayer money ,(especially the taxes paid by these business people), it is only fair to give them adequate time and opportunity to voice their concerns. We therefore request that this Council schedule, at the April 26 meeting, another public hearing, to take place in either Mayor June of this year.

W ''I~'I ..~........ .. ~'- ;..~ I') -J ~ [, Members of the city council of Iowa City Gentlepersons: Let me first thank you for taking the time to review this letter and the accompanying materials. As you know, I represent certain property and business own- ers in downtown Iowa city. Unfortunately, they are unable to at- tend the April 26 city Council meeting. We believe that there are probably other downtown business and property owners who would like to attend this meeting and provide input, but who are either unable to attend or are unaware of the plan and how it will affect them. We believe this is, in part, because the plan has come before the city council very quickly and, as a conse- quence, there has been little time for a thoughtful or organized reaction. I '. ~ ( ("" \ ',~ But we believe the need for public input on this important matter persists. It is for that reason that we requested in writing that you schedule an additional public hearing for either Mayor June. We think, given the magnitude, expense and possible ramifications of this tax abatement plan, it is only fair that more people be heard and tell you what this plan means for them. We also wish to emphasize how much we, as members of the downtown community, appreciate efforts to vitalize urban areas. Indeed, we realize that our own area is a product of such ef- forts. So let there be no mistake about our position concerning urban renewal: we favor it. In particular, we enthusiastically support the redevelopment plan for the near south side. Our con- cerns, therefore, are not with the objectives of the plan; they are, rather, with the way the Council is poised to meet those ob- jectives. We take issue with the means, not the end.

Page -2- April 20, 1994 Our objections are distinct, but related: first, we think that tax abatement as a vehicle to revitalizing the near south side poses a serious risk to the welfare of downtown Iowa city; second, we feel that tax abatement is unnecessary and that the Council has not yet fully explored the most efficient and least threatening way to renew the designated area. This letter is to provide you with information that supports those objections and to suggest alternative ways to meet revitalization goals. PART I We stated to you, in a previous letter, that the downtown properties have lost many tenants (due, in part, to the growing office space available in the outskirts of Iowa city). since that letter, we have managed to accumulate data on this point. Please find attached Exhibit IIAII: a list of properties and buildings where office space remains vacant. Also attached is Exhibit IIBII: a diagram of the CB-10 zone showing the exact loca- tions of these vacancies. As you can see, there are significant vacancies in the CB-10 zone. They are not concentrated in anyone area nor do they fol- low any discernible pattern. Naturally, they are a grave concern for the owners of these buildings. But, more importantly for our purposes, they are a sign that downtown is suffering: in a thriving and vital central business district, office space of this quantity simply would not be available. Anyone concerned about preserving our unique and animated downtown should be alarmed. This Council already knows that the present tax abatement plan will encourage one developer to build even more office space. Yet, as the attachments indicate, there is clearly no need. What's more, ours is not a IIbuild and they will comell sit- uation. The factors explaining the exodus from the CB-10 zone apply equally to the near south side: tenants are leaving down- town to go where rents are lower. Rents are lower in the areas surrounding Iowa City because in those areas taxes are lower and building codes are less demanding. Parking is also a considera- tion. If there is any doubt at all about the fact that Iowa city does not need more office space, one need only look at the South Town properties located in the 300 block of South Linn street, developed just this past year. The city required that this building reserve its ground floor for retail and office use. To this day, that floor remains unrented. If this modest sized building cannot find tenants, how will a new, $10,000,000 office building find them? __ ~ o ",. =-;ECJ iJ "'7:lu J~" ':j;:O u U ~. ::2~< 1'\) 0 -1('"") ;<1"- .0 _P1 :): O:X1 w ......u' ~...... .. :{.";JI I'J ..-J .::'1::-." .~= it ~ -(:"1 J ~ ti '(''1] o"".,;!., . --.;"..}"" ICoO , . .a_or~-~ -=1=- ., ',',...'.--,',..'"....., , ,,;', ','l(', , '.1""'" .

'_'_.. ,."~' ,'~' ":,."."",,,,__,~,,",'~,,.,,,_, .,~_, ,_. , Par,Je -3- April 20, 1994 Unless the developer has lined up new tenants, the present occupants of the downtown buildings are the only market. The near south side can easily lure those occupants from downtown be- cause the developers of the near south side will have lower rents as a result of their tax abatement. But the flight of these ten- ants to the near south side means the decline of downtown. And, that decline will ultimately affect the near south side since the downtown tax base, which supports the CB-5 zone, will erode. In conclusion, we feel that the proposed tax abatement plan puts the welfare of downtown Iowa city in serious risk. We would ask that this Council give serious consideration to the informa- tion we are presenting. And, we would invite the Council members to inquire within the downtown community about the health of the businesses there. This is the best way to verify our assessment. PART II We would like, also, to address the question of whether or not this Council has adequately explored the most efficient and least threatening way to revitalize the near south side. Attached please find Exhibit "C": a diagram of the targeted renewal area with indications of the proposed development time schedule. The Council has, of course, seen many diagrams of these blocks before. But we would like to draw the attention of the Council to the actual state of development within this zone. It is our position that this area has already developed along the lines envisioned by the Council. And, this has happened without taxpayer monies. Therefore, if we were to offer an alternative route for reaching the objectives of the near south side redevelopment plan, we feel compelled to at least suggest the simplest, most efficient and least expensive one: The Council should wait and see what happens in that area. In support of the "wait and see II approach, we would remind the Council of the aforementioned South Town properties, which developed this past year in the 300 block of South Linn Street. As the Council well knows, this property was scheduled to develop within five years' time with tax abatement. Please see Exhibit "C" and Addendum 2 of the Near South Side Commercial Urban Revi- talization Plan, January 1994. As a matter of actual fact, that:, property developed within months and with no tax abatement.loThis. was a welcomed improvement to the near south side at nQ3tax~yer cost ' '!:: C) -0 "~PQ -' ...... ::0 lliJ :r> ::i r.....~D It is our understanding, additionally, that the F~a~e~ r= (Coastal) property is also scheduled for development w~~l.o~o {~~ . rrl :J: " - f'/_"!t;\ o~ W '.;,U'~I "~:"'''' .. ;p; N -s 1000 -'V- - - .'o)"?":"""'':' .

The same would probably hold true for the Gilbert street properties, and the Kroeger - Tigges and Schintler properties on Linn street, although they will be waiting for the city's final decision on the tax abate- ment plan before undertaking any planned project. The only other properties slotted for immediate (five year) development by the plan are: 1) the Nolan attorney site, which is too small to have that much effect on the area; 2) the Rebel Plaza, which appears viable at present and houses several busi- nesses; and J) the Hieronymi Partnership properties within Block 102 of Burlington and Clinton streets. It is essentially this last property which is purporting to need the tax abatement and which would benefit most directly from the plan. 1 If the Council is concerned with the development of the Hieronymi property block in particular, there are alternatives to tax abatement to renew this corner. And, we might add, we are fully in support of refurbishing that block. Our major concern is that the Council not sacrifice downtown in the process. with the above in mind, we would propose the following for the Council to at least consider in its efforts to renew that corner: -"". I 1) The much discussed Cultural Center of Iowa city should be considered for that block. The Center, with its galleries, theaters, and conference rooms would clearly draw more people and, in turn, more busi- nesses to the CB-5 zone. As such, it could be the anchor for the development of the near south side and eventually lead to the filling of the office space that is presently available. But, most importantly, it would energize the CB-5 zone without detracting from downtown. 2) The Burlinqton-Clinton intersection miqht also be a site for another hotel. /';"~-.\ I' '. ! l i ./ , " I , I I \ , I i' I I I i I I I, , k. II' . , , \ I ! ~L/, A hotel, too, would bring more vitality to the downtown area, including the near south side, but without wooing tenants from the CB-10 zone. It could house visitors, tourists, the par- ents of students for University functions, and, like the Cultural Center, encourage organizations to hold conferences in Iowa City. This would not only not threaten downtown, it would truly support and extend the central business district across Burlington. 1,.':) - .1:- (:) :J::> ~(") =-0 I.1\rJ~"-' """-;;;;1 'U .i-'-l """ C:C:-.lI C'?.....~ IV . 0 .","" Ij ;"i:\1 '~ D' ~ , 1\1" I.~,I: ' '.;j", },.; r,;~.~,,' " .'

Once that is done, the Council can focus on the best means to achieve that use. What the Council needs to realize right now, however, is that tax abatement is not by any means the only way to improve this corner. ~t ' ". The Council might also at least consider a change of zoning for the proposed area. As the neighborhood redevelopment plan makes clear, the goal of the City's revitalization efforts is the extension of downtown to the near south side. If that's the case, the zoning for the near south side (presently CB-5) should agree with the zoning of the central business district (presently CB-10). While we realize that that brings in concerns about parking, we don't believe that these objections or problems are insurmountable. In any event, this would be a cost-free way of encouraging the type of development we all want to see from down- town and extended to Court street. :.... CONCLUSION ~.:" ':,,-.': -:',:,;:\ ,"~I '.' :.,(~ In conclusion, we hope we have alerted you to the present problems of Iowa City's downtown business district and to the likelihood that the proposed tax abatement plan will exacerbate those problems.
