To: Planning & Zoning Commission
From: Robert Miklo, Associate Planner
Re: Amendments to the CN-1 Zone
Staff has prepared two drafts of amendments to the CN-1 zone. Version A allows office uses to
be developed within the zone as provisional uses. This draft does not restrict the types of offices
allowed in the zone, nor does it require a special exception from the Board of Adjustment.
Version B varies from Version A in that only certain offices are listed as provisional uses, There
is no restriction to the number of these offices that can be located within anyone CN-1 zone,
provided that no more than 30% of the square footage of buildings within the zone is devoted to
office uses, Offices which do not appear on this list would require a special exception. With the
exception of these differences, Version B is the same as Version A.
Both versions include a provision for CN-1 zones which are up to ten acres in size. These
provisions require that a site plan be reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Commission and City
Council for CN-1 zones which are over seven acres in size.
Staff feels strongly that there is a need to review any office which is not clearly intended to serve
a neighborhood clientele. If a list of appropriate neighborhood office uses is not included in the
ordinance, the Building Official would have to decide on a case-by-case basis, whether or not a
particular office use is appropriate in the CN-1 zone. This type of ambiguity can lead to
inconsistent implementation of the Zoning Ordinance. That is why in all of our zones a list of
permitted uses, provisional uses, and special exceptions is clearly spelled out.
Staff would not recommend that the CN-1 zone be open to all office uses, as allowed by Version
A. The City contains several zones, including CO-1, Commercial Office; CC-2, Community
Commercial; CI-1, Intensive Commercial; CB-2, Central Business Service; CB-5, Central Business
Support; and CB-10, Central Business, which allow any office use by right, with no requirement
for a special exception and no restriction on the percentage of square footage within the zone that
may be devoted to office uses. When originally proposed, the CN-1 zone included no office uses.
It was intended to serve the day-to-day needs of surrounding neighborhoods. As we amend the
CN-1 zone to allow more unrestricted uses, it becomes more similar to the CC-2 zone and may
lose the neighborhood character which was originally intended. For this reason, staff
recommends that Version B be adopted.
In terms of size of the permitted offices, staff believes that 2,000 square feet is more than
adequate area for an office that is intended to serve a neighborhood function. Real estate
development statistics generally indicate that 200 square feet of office space including common
areas, such as conference rooms, copy centers, hallways, etc. are needed per office worker.
Based on this statistic, an office of 2,000 square feet can accommodate approximately ten office
workers. There are few types of offices which cater to a neighborhood, that would require that
many office workers.

For comparison's sake, the City Council Chambers contains less than 1500 square feet of floor
area, and the Senior Center Classroom, at which the Commission conducts its informal meetings,
is approximately 800 square feet in area. An office containing 2,000 square feet would be about
2.5 times larger than the Senior Center Classroom.
Dental and medical offices are exceptions to the 200 square foot per office worker guideline.
Previous research in dental trade publications indicates that a 2,000 square foot office is
adequate to serve the needs of one or two dentists and their support staff. Attached are articles
from Dental Economics which describe dental practices which are located in offices of less than
2,000 square feet.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the proposed amendments to the CN-1 zone as drafted in Version B be
approved.
Attachments:
1. Draft revisions. Version A.
2. Draft revisions - Version B.
3. Articles from Dental Economics.

VERSION A
Sec. 36-18. Neighborhood Commercial Zone (CN-1),
(a) Intent. The Neighborhood Commercial Zone (CN-1) is intended to permit the devel.
opment of retail sales and personal services required to meet the day-to-day needs of
a fully developed residential neighborhood, Stores, businesses and offices in this zone
should be useful to the majority of the neighborhood residents, should be economically
supportable by nearby population, and should not draw community-wide patronage. A
grocery store or grocery store/drugstore combination is favored as the principal tenant
in a neighborhood commercial zone. In general, the CN-1 Zone is intended for the
grouping of a grocery store and small retail businesses and office uses which are rela-
tively nuisance-free to surrounding residences and which do not detract from the resi-
dential purpose and character of the surrounding neighborhood. The location and
development of neighborhood commercial sites should follow the criteria set forth for
such sites in the Comprehensive Plan.
(b) Permitted uses,
(1) Barber shops and beauty parlors, laundromats, aflti laundry and dry cleaning
pick-up and delivery services, shoe repair services.
(2) Copy centers,
(3) Drugstores, florist shops and variety stores,

Sec. 36-18. Neighborhood Commercial Zone (CN-1).
(a) Intent. The Neighborhood Commercial Zone (CN-1) is intended to permit the devel-
opment of retail sales and personal services required to meet the day-to-day needs of
a fully developed residential neighborhood. Stores, businesses and offices in this zone
should be useful to the majority of the neighborhood residents, should be economically
supportable by nearby population, and should not draw community-wide patronage. A
grocery store or grocery store/drugstore combination is favored as the principal tenant
in a neighborhood commercial zone. In general, the CN-1 Zone is intended for the
grouping of a grocery store and small retail businesses and office uses which are rela-
tively nuisance-free to surrounding residences and which do not detract from the resi-
dential purpose and character of the surrounding neighborhood. The location and
development of neighborhood commercial sites should follow the criteria set forth for
such sites in the Comprehensive Plan.

Office of the Month
A 'hands-on'
office project
by Ron Combs, Associate Editor
For Dr. Brad Walker and' his
wife, Crystal, a new dental
office was very much a hands-
on project from the day they
purchased a small building on
one of the busiest streets in the
Silicon Valley to begin the long
pl'ocess of designing the space
and overseeing the construc,
tion. They had decided that
doing it themselves was the
only sure path to having the
office that Dr. Walker envi-
sioned. ,,[ wanted to invigorate
traditional dental.office con,
cepts through the creative use
of space, color, texture and
light: something exceptionally
innovative,.yet functional and
with growth potential." the doc-
tor explains.
The San Jose, California, prac-
titioner had mulled bver ideas
for a new office even as his
practice flourished in a loca-
tion that many dentists would
consider to be ideal. For six
years, he had leased what he
describes as "a beautiful space
in an alTIuent community." The
only problems the doctor faced

were the skyrocketing rent and
a landlord who. he felt. limited
what he could do for the com-
fort of his patients. He finally
accepted the fact that, despite
the picturesque setting, it was
not a good long,term situation.
"The only solution for me was
the freedom to design an office
unrestrained by the space
al'ailable and the whims of a
landlord. "
A small army of friends and
family were invited to help
raze the old structure as their
available weekends and even,
ings permitted. Acting as the
general contractor, Dr. Walker
drew and detailed a floor plan
before hiring a draftsman and
engineer for detailed drawings
and structural calculations.
Some 17 subcontractors were
hired to carry the project
through the two-and-a-half
months of construction. Mrs.
Walker's attention to detail,
color and texture supplied the
finishing touches in the 1.400-
square-foot office. Assisted by
his father, the doctor installed
landscaping, an irrigation sys-
tem, decks and fountains. "The
3D-percent savings gained by
acting as general contractor
helped to heal the wounds of a
very taxing and time-consum,
ing job," comments Dr. Walker.
"We Californians treasure our
sunlight and this was a critical
element to incorporate into our
design," he continues. "With
nearly 80 percent of the ceil,
ings vaulted, and eight sky-
lights strategically placed
throughout, I can operate
approximately six months of
the year without flipping on a
single light switch," Low-volt-
age halogen and cleverly con-
cealed, color,corrected fluores-
cent uplighting combine with
the soaring open spaces, glass
blocks and huge picture win-
dows to create a relaxed setting

HANDS-ON PROJECT
Careful planning, hard work and close
attention to detail opened a new world
for dental.office creativity, says Dr.
Walker.
for patients and the fOUl'mem-
bel' staff. From the operatories,
patients view fountains and
well-tended gardens.
A tree-covered deck at the
rear of the building serves as
an entrance for the handi-
capped and is an inviting place
for waiting patients and guests.
It also serves as a retreat for
Dr. Walker to review mail or to
do charting between patients.
"This comfortable environ-
ment has made my doctor-
patient-staff relationships an
enjoyable experience," says
Dr, Walker. "My need to create
a new dental environment has
opened my eyes, and I now see
dentistry in a new light." 0

Design and quality of construction will assure many years of usefulness for the Lincron, New Jersey, landmark.
Office of the Month
Office-design
research pays off
,
I
"
At first glance, the uniquely-
constructed dental office
building, with its four brick
towers looming skyward,
resembles a medieval castle.
Although the exterior mirrors
another era, the modern, high-
ly~functional interior provides
the pel'fect blend of aesthetic
appeal and efficiency for
Lincroft, New Jersey, periodon-
tist Anthony N. Di Cesare.
A course he attended on den-
tal-office design gave him the
inspiration he needed to move
a'head with firm plans for his
new office. As with so many
other successful dentists, Dr. Di
Cesare's practice was outgrow-
ing his office when he attended
a cOllrse on dental.office

design presented by 01'. Neil
Brahe. Ten creatively-designed
offices were featured during
the course that rel1ected the
needs and personalities of
their doctors.
"I began to research office
design, attend architectural
courses and visit various office
complexes," he says. "My
research was not limited to
dental offices; there were visits
to Eastman Kodak's main office
in Rochester, New York, and
other corporations for design
ideas."
Following the painstaking
research on dental-office
design, 01'. Di Cesare took his
ideas to architect Paul Reilly
(who brought extensive experi-
ence in hospital and church
design to the project). They
chose a building site at an
interchange of a major New
Jersey artery to assure an easi-
ly-accessible location for
patients. "It's a clearly recog-
nizable landmark from the
Garden State Parkway," adds
01'. Di Cesare. ,
The interior of the 1,919-
square-foot facility is designed
in a circular configuration
around a central hub. A steril-
ization and instrument-prepa-
ration area makes up the cen-
tral hub. Radiating from this
hub, like the spokes of a wheel,
are five opera tories, a private
office, reception area, laborato-
ries, darkroom and storage

today's emphasis on cleanli-
ness and sterility in dental
offices. the centrally-located
and very visible sterilization
area is proving to be a big com-
fort to our patients.
';It is likely that updates and
technological advances will be
made. but the design and quali-
ty of construction of this facili-
ty will make for many years of

plan net's usually will agree
that one of the least expensive
methods of building new oflice
space and .one of the best
investments a dentist can make
is to buy an existing building
and renovate it. Far newly
graduated family practitioner
Sharon M. Vel'dinelli. that
approach has been a fast track
to "the af'fice and practice I've
always wanted,"
By the time she had graduated
!'I'om the University of Penn-
sylvania School of Dental
Medicine and had completed a
two-year residency at the
Veteran's Administration hos-
pital in Philadelphia, she had
decided to open her dental
office in Mantua, New Jersey,
her hometown and a suburb of
Philadelphia. "It was my lucky
day when I drove past the
building that formerly was
.occupied by a realty company,"
she I'ecalls. ,,[t was an older,
well.kept structure with easy
access ('rom a ('our-lune high.
way that immediately attracted
my attention. This will be per-
fect, I thought."
Dr. Verdinelli called on local
contractors to renovate the
1.800 square feet on the first
floor for her dental office and
, remodel the second floor 1'01'
her personal living space, The
exterior was refurbished and
landscaped. "Over a six.weeks
period. an all-out effort was
made to make the office as
attractive and inviting as possi-
ble," she' says. "All the activity

around the property generated
a lot of interest in the commu-
nity as word spread among all
the people who knew my family
that I had returned home to
practice dentistry."
Since the office was opened to
Dr. Verdi nelli's first patients in
June 1992, practice growth has
exceeded her highest expecta-
tions. "Many of my patients tell
me that, initially, they were
attracted by the setting, which,
in their minds, indicated that
this was a place where they
would receive quality family
care. And, too, I grew up here
and many of my patients know
my family., . that helps a 101."
Dr. Verdinelli presently works
with a full-time business man-
ager/receptionist and three
part-time assistants. "I have all
the space I will need for far
into the future," she adds. "I've
always wanted a small office
because I feel it better reflects
my practice philosophy of pro-
viding quality, professional
care with a personal touch."
The doctor points to the three
spacious operatories, the pleas-
ant reception area and the lat-
est in sterilization facilities as
the main features in the office.
"Being able to walk through the
sterilization area on the way
back to the operatories or pri-
vate office enables me and the
staff to show and explain infec-
tion-control procedures. The
private office is' used for new-
patient review of radiographs
and consultations regarding
treatment plans.
"I have the perfect practice
setting for the dentistry I want
to do," she concludes, 0

To: Planning & Zoning Commission
From: Robert Miklo, Associate Planner
Re: Requested Amendments to the CN-1 Zone
In addition to the amendments to the CN-1 zone recommended by staff in the March 11,
1994, memorandum regarding this subject, staff suggests that the Commission consider
additional amendments to permit, as provisional uses, certain offices which may be
appropriate in a neighborhood setting. Staff suggests the following offices for consideration:
general dentistry, insurance sales, family medical practitioner, chiropractor, counselor, real
estate agent, travel agent, accountant, and attorney.
As discussed in the previous memorandum, staff recommends that these office uses be
allowed, provided each office does not exceed 2,000 square feet in floor area and that the
total floor area devoted to offices does not exceed 30% of the floor area of the zone or 15%
of the ground floor area of the zone. Staff feels that this maximum floor area requirement is
needed to assure that these offices do not exceed the scale appropriate for a commercial
development intended to serve a residential neigliborhood only. Other types of offices not on
the list could be considered by special exception as currently provided in the CN-1 zone.
The Commission also discussed the possibility of allowing small retail shops such as gift and
novelty stores, If such retail uses are to be allowed, staff would recommend that they each
be limited to 1,000 square feet of floor area to help assure that they are not of the size that
relies upon a community-wide market area.
If the CN-1 zone is amended to include these uses, staff feels that it becomes more important
to require a planned district for the zone. Neighborhood commercial areas are intended to
serve surrounding residential areas and, therefore, should be designed to fit into the
neighborhood. A requirement for a development plan will help assure that this intent is
adhered to.

MEMORANDUM
/
i
Date: Marcl111, 1994
To: Planning & Zoning Commission
From: Robert Miklo, Associate Planner
Re: Request to Amend the CN-1 Zone
Background:
Attached are requests submitted by Harry Wolf of Southgate Development and Bruce Glasgow
of Plum Grove Acres Inc. to amend area limitations of the CN-1 zone and uses permitted within
the zone. The Commission received these requests in late 1993 and asked that staff study the
proposed amendments. As detailed in the attached letters, it has been requested that the City I
consider:
. Increasing the maximum allowed size for CN-1 zones (the current maximum size of any I
area zonefd CN-1) is seven acres; the Walden Square CN-1 zone contains ten acres as 0
a non-con ormity .
. An increase in the maximum size allowed for grocery stores (under the current CN-1 zone
regulations, grocery stores cannot exceed 10% of the land area of the zone or generally
30,000 square feet - 43,000 square feet in the case of Walden Square).
. An increase in the permitted square footage for offices uses (office uses are currently
restricted to no more than 15% of the total floor area of the CN-1 zone and no single
office is allowed to occupy more than 1,800 square feet of floor area).
. Broadening of the uses allowed in this zone.
.,
t.
. A request that dwelling units be allowed above the ground floor of other CN-1 uses.
The original CN-1 zone was developed after much study and was based on research conducted
by the Urban Land Institute, a real estate development research organization; on the ordinances
of other communities which have neighborhood commercial zones; and on the square footage
of uses located in existing commercial areas, such as the North Dodge Street Hy-Vee/Drugtown
shopping center, which were seen as appropriate models for neighborhood shopping centers.
;-.
,
In 1989 the City amended the CN.1 zone to allow additional retail uses such as video rental
stores; to increase the maximum allowed office floor area from 10% of the floor area of the zone
to 15% and to allow individual offices to increase in size from 1,500 square feet to 1,800 square
feet; and to remove the special exception which allowed consideration of residential uses above
the ground floor. In 1990, the City again re-examined the maximum allowed seven acre size for
CN-1 zones and chose not to increase it at that time.

Size 01 CN.1 Zones:
When deciding on the appropriate size lor CN-1 zones, it is important to consider that the function
of the zone is to serve the day-to-day shopping needs of surroundinQ residential neighborhoods.
The Community Commercial, CC-2, zone is designed to fulfill the zoning needs for community
shopping centers that serve a larger area and therefore draw more traffic than may be appropriate
for neighborhood centers. It is clearly the intent of the CN-1 zone to not allow businesses which
are required to draw customers from the entire community. To do so would change the role of
the neighborhood center to that of a community center and would have undesirable effects on
surrounding neighborhoods in terms of traffic and appearance. For these reasons, staff believes
that any increase in the maximum allowed size of CN-1 zones should be closely considered.
Literature on the appropriate size for neighborhood commercial zones generally suggest that such
zones should be restricted to 3-7 acres, but in some instances up to 10 acres are appropriate for
large neighborhood shopping centers, A 1993 study conducted by the Urban Land Institute,
Dollars and Cents of Shopping Centers, indicates that the average square footage of a
representative sample of neighborhood shopping centers buill in the past three years was 59,358
square feet. The smallest neighborhood shopping center in the study was 38,124 square feet and
the largest was 84,753 square feet. An analysis of the seven acre Court Street/Scott Boulevard
CN-1 zone indicates that an approximate 75,000 square foot shopping center could be built within
that zone. This analysis indicates that the current seven acre size limits for the CN-1 zone is in
keeping with national trends and could accommodate a reasonably sized neighborhood shopping
center.
~
Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the maximum size of the CN-1 zone not be
increased, but if the Commission finds it appropriate to increase the maximum size allowed for
the CN-1 zone, that the maximum be restricted to ten acres and that CN-1 zones greater than
seven acres in size be planned developments and be required to provide amenities and buffering
greater than those required for smaller CN-1 zones. Staff would require additional time to
develop such provisions.
Maximum Grocery Store Floor Area
Much like the maximum seven acre size set lor CN-1 zones, the maximum floor area for grocery
stores was based on the desire to limit the service area of CN-1 zones to surrounding
neighborhoods. As noted, the current maximum grocery store floor area permitted is 30,000
square feet. As shown on the table below, grocery stores located in existing CN-1 zones fall
within this limitation.
CN.1 Zone Zone Grocery Store Store Percent of
Location Land Area Tenant Size Zone Area
North Dodge 6.7 acres Hy-Vee 19,800 sq. It. 6.78%
(291,852 sq. fl.)
Church Street 4.0 acres Eagle 16,000 sq. fl. 9,18%
(174,240 sq. fl.)

The Shopping Center Development Handbook, published by the Urban Land Institute, indicates
that, as the size of retail square footage increases, the market area, or size of the neighborhood
needed to support a retail establishment increases. In other words, at some point, a grocery
store could become so large that it requires to draw customers from beyond adjacent
neighborhoods and possibly from the entire community and surrounding communities. It is for
this reason that the CN-1 zone initially limited grocery stores to approximately 30,000 square feet.
The Urban Land Institute Study, Dollars and Cents of Shopping Centers, reports that the median
sized supermarket in neighborhood shopping centers is 25,000 square feet. The smallest store
reported in the study was 18,757 square feet and the largest was 36,776. The study also
included a super store category for grocery stores which carried lines of products and services
in addition to food. Stores in this category ranged in size from 26,675 square feet to 48,900
square feet with the median size being 36,464 square feet.
Staff recommends that the current 30,000 maximum floor area for grocery stores in the CN.1
zone be retained, but that consideration be given to establishing provisions for neighborhood
super stores. Neighborhood super stores would be defined as grocery stores which, in addition
to food products, contain other uses and services appropriate for a neighborhood shopping
center. Any square footage above 30,000 would be required to be departmentalized for uses
such as financial institutions, video rental, florist shop, etc. The maximum size of a super store
would be limited to 40,000 square feet. To assure that the larger buildings required for super
stores are comparable in scale with residential neighborhoods, building design guidelines would
be appropriate.
Office Establishments
When originally drafted, the CN-1 zone restricted the square footage of office establishments to
help assure that individual offices did not attract business from a larger market area. The
attached Exhibit A, which reports the square footages of various offices around the community,
was compiled in 1989. As shown in Exhibit A, the 1,800 square foot maximum allowed for
individual office functions would allow many existing offices, which are located in our community,
to locate in the CN.1 zone. Offices such as dental offices are appropriate for neighborhood
zones, but should be restricted in size so that the practice does not become so large that it draws
a great number of clients from beyond the surrounding neighborhoods.
Staff recently reviewed a number of office designs for dental offices contained in 1993 and 1994
editions of Dental Economics, a dental trade magazine, These plans showed that the office
square footage for dental offices with one and two dentists, ranged from approximately 1,400
square feet up to 3,000 square feet, wilh an average of approximately 2,000 square feet. Staff
recommends that, if the Commission finds it appropriate to increase the size of individual offices
allowed within the CN.1 zone, a maximum 2,000 square foot office be allowed.
In addition to limiting the size of individual office establishments, the CN.1 zone currently limits
all offices within the zone to a total of 15% of the floor area existing or expected within the zone.
This limitation was designed to assure that CN.1 zones do not become de facto office zones; with
offices replacing the retail establishments needed to serve surrounding neighborhoods. It may
be possible to increase the total square footages of offices allowed in the CN.1 zone without
displacing retail services from the zone by allowing additional office square footage above or
below the ground floor. In this manner, the first floor of buildings would be retained for
predominantly retail uses while the basement and second floor levels could be used for additional
office space.

Staff recommends the CN-1 zone be amended to allow no more than 15% of the ground floor
area of the zone to be devoted to office uses, and that the total floor area of all office uses within
an area zoned CN-1 be limited to 30%. So that the City can continue to monitor the amount of
office square footage appropriate for a neighborhood commercial zone, staff recommends that
offices continue to be permilled only by special exception in the CN-1 zone.
Dwellings Within the CN.1 Zone
When originally drafted, the CN-1 zone allowed dwellings to be considered by special exception
above the ground floor. In 1989, an amendment was adopted removing the opportunity for this
special exception. There apparently was some concern that by allowing dwellings above
commercial uses in the CN-1 zone, multi-family uses might be introduced in close proximity to
RS-5, low density single-family, zones. It is arguable whether the commercial uses allowed in
the CN-1 zones are more or less compatible with adjacent single-family uses than are multi-family
dwellings. Staff believes that when appropriately designed, multi-family uses above commercial
uses can be compatible with adjacent single-family uses. For this reason, staff recommends that
the special exception provision to allow the consideration of multi-family uses within the CN-1
zone be reinstated.
Consideration of Additional Uses
As noted, the uses permilled in the CN-1 zone are intended to serve populations of adjacent
neighborhoods. For this reason, when originally drafted, the uses permilled were fairly limited.
There may be additional uses such as copy centers, photo finishing services and shoe repair
services, as suggested by Harry Wolf in his leller of November 9, that would be appropriate wilhin
the CN-1 zone.
(
Mr. Wolf also suggests that restaurants be allowed as permilled uses within the zone. Because
of the potential for fairly large restaurants requiring patronage from a large area, staff
recommends that the special exception requirements for restaurants be retained. Through the
special exception process, the size of a restaurant can be considered and limited to help assure
that it does not draw from a community-wide clientele. It may be appropriate, however, to allow
limited food services, such as an ice cream or frozen yogurt retailer within the CN-1 zone.
.?,
,.. 4~
Pedestrian Orientation
Given its intended neighborhood market, the CN-1 zone should provide the opportunity for access
by pedestrians, Staff has observed that development in existing CN-1 zones, due to site design
and layout, is not necessarily pedestrian friendly. For this reason, staff recommends that
additional guidelines be incorporated into the zone to encourage integration of various uses within
the zone to make it easier for pedestrian access. These guidelines include requirements for
pedestrian amenities and details such as bicycle racks.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
I ~
, I
Staff recommends that the general concept and nature of the CN-1 zone be retained.
Amendments to the zone to establish a category of grocery stores to be known as neighborhood
super stores limited to 40,000 square feet with any floor area over 30,000 square feet being
devoted to non-grocery items; a slight increase in the size of individual offices from 1800 square
feet to 2000 square feet and an increase in the overall office square footage permilled in the zone
by permitting offices above and below the ground floor; a reintroduction of a special exception for
dwellings above the ground floor; and requirements for pedestrian amenities may be appropriate.

EXHIBIT B
Sec. 36-18. Neighborhood Commercial Zone (CN-1).
(a) Intent. The Neighborhood Commercial Zone (CN-1) is intended to permit the devel-
opment of retail sales and personal services required to meet the day-to-day needs of
a fully developed residential neighborhood. Stores, businesses and offices in this zone
should be useful to the majority of the neighborhood residents, should be economically
supportable by nearby population, and should not draw community-wide patronage. A
grocery store or grocery store/drugstore combination is favored as the principal tenant
in a neighborhood commercial zone. In general, the CN-1 Zone is intended for the
grouping of a grocery store and small retail businesses and office uses which are rela-
tively nuisance-free to surrounding residences and which do not detract from the resi-
dential purpose and character of the surrounding neighborhood. The location and
development of neighborhood commercial sites should follow the criteria set forth for
such sites in the Comprehensive Plan.

RE: Walden Square Lot
Dear Monica,
Now that the grocery store and Credit Union plans have been
finalized, we are reviewing the balance of the site. Our goal is
to design the area to conform with what we believe to be the
intent of the CN-l zone.
After reviewing the current zoning ordinance, we have determined
a number of issues we would like your staff to consider.
Area Guidelines:
To effectively develop a neighborhood commercial
area, we have found the 10 acres of Walden Square to be
somewhat small. We are aware of the fact that the
ordinance limits the area to no more than seven acres
which would really constrain development. We would
recommend the size limit be lifted to 15 acres.
In conjunction with this change, we would request
that the westerly zoning line in the Walden Square area
be extended by 60 feet per the attached area plat.
Drive Located on a Separate Lot:
As we have discussed with you in the past, we have
a written agreement with the property owner to the west
of Walden Square to provide a drive through their
property. This drive could serve users from the west
and would be built just east of the permanent pipeline
easement already in place.
In reviewing Section 36-58 (3) d. of the zoning
code, we feel we could comply with the requirements
outlined. We would like you to consider supporting the
inclusion of the CNl zone as attached.

Permitted Uses:
We have discussed the possibility of permitting
apartments in the CN-1 zone. We feel this would be
appropriate to achieve a truly neighborhood development
and would support this change. Language similar to
that in the CQ-1 zone would be favored.
In addition, in our preliminary marketing of the
area, we have received numerous requests for uses not
currently permitted. We would like you to consider
adding the following ~ses under the zone:
Personal Service Establishments
Copy Centers
Photo Services
Shoe Repair
Book Stores
Also, the inclusion of restaurants under Permitted Uses
would be recommended.
Special Exceptions:
We are finding the limits on offices to be too
low. An increase in the individual size from 1800 sq
ft to 3000 sq ft and an overall allowance raised from
15% to 30% would be much more workable.
Monica, we are excited about the possibility of turning Walden
Square into a truly successful ,mixed use neighborhood
development. Please consider our requests and allow us time to
discuss them further.
Sincerely,
~~1~+

Dear Commission,
We understand from Doug Boothroy that the Commission will be
considering changes in the Neighborhood Commercial Zone in the
near future. We would like to express our interest in seeing that
zone open up and become less restrictive than it is now.
Our dental office building in the Neighborhood Commercial
Zone on east Rochester has a potential retail space in the rear.
We would like to open a small shop selling doll houses and
miniatures, which, according to Doug, is not acceptable in the
current zone.
We would like to request that the Commission allow small
specialty shops in the Neighborhood Commercial Zone.
"
t
(-"',
\
\:
"co:.J
~
,
Another area we feel should be considered is the restriction
on square footage of floor space for an office use. We found the
current 1800 square foot requirement to be limiting--it was very
difficult to accommodate the needs of our recently constructed
dental office within that space. A much more reasonable
limitation would be under 3,000 square feet.

Date:

To:
Planning & Zoning Commission
Monica Moen, Sr. Planner ~
From:
c.
Re: Request to Amend the CN-l Zone
Attached please find requests submitted by Harry Wolf of Southgate Development and Bruce
Glasgow of Plum Grove Acres, Inc. to amend the area limitations of the CN-l zone and the
uses permitted within that zone, Mr, Glasgow also refers to an application he has submitted
to rezone a substantial portion of his CN-l zoned property located in the northwest quadrant
of the intersection of Court Street and Scott Boulevard; that application is expected to be
before the Commission the week of November 29.
In October, 1990, the Commission considered the issue of enlarging the maximum area of a
eN-l zone beyond seven acres and recommended, at that time, that the maximum area of a
neighborhood commercial zone not be increased. In November, 1989, the City Council
approved Commission-recommended amendments to the CN-l Zone that increased the uses
allowed in the zone and removed the ability to place dwelling units above or below the ground
floor of principal uses allowed in the zone.
0-
~
At your November 15 and 18 meetings, the Commission will be asked to decide whether the
proposed amendments should be considered. If the Commission wishes to do so, the
Commission must decide when the staff should have amendments prepared for your
consideration. This decision should be made in the context of the Commission's pending list
which is located behind the agenda included in the meeting packet. If the Commission wishes
to consider this issue this fiscal year, please be prepared to identify an item on your work
program that you wish to defer to fiscal year 1995.-
!
Staff will be present at your November 15 and 18 meetings to answer any questions you may
have. In the meanwhile, please do not hesitate to call me at 356-5243 if you have any
questions.

NOVEMBER 11, 1993
TO: THE MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
CITY OF IOWA CITY
IOWA CITY, IOWA
SUBJECT: REZONING AT SCOTT BLVD AND COURT STREET FROM NC-1 TO
RM-20
DISCUSSION: The P~Z staff has requested that I set down on
paper the reasons for requesting the subject zoning change.
So....here goes......

r
The NC-1 zone is supposed to take care of the neighborhood
needs. This zone has square foot limitations on building size and
building use. There is a special use provision for uses not
specfically set forth in the ordinance. This special use provision
allows a prospective business person to appear before the
Board of Adjustment" and plead for a provisional use.
.(

The allowable uses in this NC-l zone when it was copied from some
other municipality who had copied it from some other town were
changed to accomodate those business that already existed in the
proposed zone. A food store was allowed becuase there was one,
a gas station was allowed because there was one, a bank was allowed
because there was one. Then the City added in the politically correct
beauty shop, barber shop, and dry cleaners" pick up only" approved uses.
f,
'.~
)~
I
I,
: ~.
: i(.
The food store square footage was set out at 40,000 sq. ft of
space under one roof. The offices were set out at 1800 square
foot of space per professional use. These square footages are
"chronologically gifted" to use the correct political designation.
The modern food store now includes the deli, the eating area, the
greeting card section, the hardware section, the post office, and
last but not least...the food section. This use can not be
accomplished in 40,000 sq. ft.

The professional person....use the dentist as an example..can not
function in IBOO sq ft of space without giving up some vital area
of work space. The square footage requirement in the NC-l zone
is old, out of date and frankly should not be any concern of the
City of Iowa City.

Page Two:
When this NC-1 ordinance was adopted, buildings were allowed
to have apartments on the second floor and in the lower floor but
not on the main floor. This is a good concept for a seven acre
commercial space. At ten o'clock or earlier and all day Sunday
the work place area is vacant and in the evenings it is dark. The
presence of apartment dwellers above the stores gives the
area the desired protection needed. Those tenants can use the 911
system and police the area. This allowable use of apartments in the
NC-1 zone was eliminated so secretively two years ago by P&Z and
Council that the Building Department did not know about it and
neither did the City Council. As a result, I now have a commercial
building with three apartments on the second floor that was built
with full permission of the Building Department and the structure
in now a "Non-conforming use" which reflects on the mortgage and
future value.
,r

i~
! .
,
The area under consideration for rezoning to apartments was the
selected site for two food stores. Since common sense is not part
of the zoning process, these two food stores were told by staff
that there was no way that they could fit into the Neighboorhood.
The P&Z commission and Council now faces the desired alternate of
eliminating 70 trailer homes and two existing businesses to
do the same thing that this food store wanted to do on
seven acres.
~
The application process to the "Board of Adjustment" is a humiliating
experience for any established business person in Iowa City.
Let\' set down in print se,ction D of the application:
.~:
"The applicant is required to present specific evidence,
not just opinions, that the general standards for granting
of a special exception will be met:
1. That the specific proposed exception will not be detrimental
to or endanger public health, safety, morals, comfort or general
welfare.."
How would you answer that question? Many of my prospective customers
said.."Do you have any other land outside of this ____ city?"

SUBJECT: REZONING AT SCOTT BLVD AND COURT STREET FROM NC-l TO
RM-20
Page Three:
Now for a discussion of the staff application of the NC-l ordinance.
The ordinance calls for professional offices to be limited to
30% of the existing commercial space. The first office application
was denied by the Building Dept. because there was no commercial
building in the area. Their comment was" 30% of nothing is nothing".
Catch 22. It took two months of high level staff meeting to
agree to allow the first building to be built for offices.
Then: the Building Dept. issued a statement to the office builder
that they could not cement the basement floor but thay had
to put down a sheet of plastic and hold it down with cement
blocks. A month of negotiation between my customer's lawyer and the
building department resulted in a compromise...the building dept
would allow a 20 x 15 foot concrete slab to be poured in the
basement for use of the furnace and water heater and water softener'
That compromise was followed by another 10 momths of negotiation
between lawyer and bUilding department with no further committments.
The city's position was that since this was a dental office and
it was allowed to have only 1800 sq. ft. and if the basement
were alllowed to be cemented and since the city does not have
enought inspectors to make sure that the dentist is not pulling
teeth in the basement in violation of the NC-l ordinance, then
the basement should not be allowed to be cemented.
l~".~;"'.-
r,'
.'\ '
r-'~ '
\ I
\ "
,,~\,
(.i;~ i
I', \,1
· d
This fiasco was brought to a head when I had to take over the
building because the dentist refused to put up with any
more of the hassle with the city and left the project. My suggestion
to the building dept was to take this matter to city council and get
on television and tell the entire city about the of the impracticallity
of the interpretation of the NC-l zoning requirements.
The building department allowed basement floors to be cemented that
same day.
"
Trying to do a nice job on a commercial prea and finding that
every body and his brother in Iowa City wants to tell the business
person what to do and where to do it and having to spend one and one
half years to get a building permit thru Iowa City and the Board of
Adjustment leaves me no choice. Let's get out of the commercial
business. The City does not want any commercial business...so
let~s do apartments.
1'1
The staff tells me that I must have a minimum of three acres
for the existing building in this commercial zone. PGA will revise the
apartment zone request to the remaining 4 acres of the NC-l zone.

Dear Mayor and Council Members:
Since November of last year I have been working with the Planning
Department on a proposed development at Mormon Trek and westwinds
Drive. Through those discussions, amendments to the CN-l zone
have been proposed and approved unanimously by the Planning and
Zoning commission. These proposed amendments are now in front of
the city council for your consideration.
Southgate's project, Walden Square, is prepared to move ahead.
We are anxiously awaiting your action on these amendments so that
our planning under the CN-1 zone can be finalized. We
respectfully request the city council expedite the approval of
the proposed amendments to the zone.

system is concealed by any permanent portion of the building.
(dl Other Inspections. In addition to the called inspections required by this code, the Building
Official may make or require other inspections of any work to ascertain compliance with the provisions
of this code and other laws which are enforced by the code enforcement agency.
