RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BY CHANGING THE
LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION OF PROPERTY LOCATED EAST OF HARLOCKE
STREET FROM 16-24 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE TO 2-8 DWELLING UNITS
PER ACRE,
!
WHEREAS, the City's Comprehensive Plan is a statement of goals and policies for the
community; and
'." '
WHEREAS, to be an effective guide for a vital community, the Plan is flexible and amendable
within the context of set goals and objectives described within the Plan; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, following public hearing, has made the following findings:
',,"
A, Portions of the vacant properties located east of Harlocke Street and known as the
Jensen tract are designated for 16-24 dwelling units per acre.
B,
, ."'"
-,
, C.
,
" ,
Due to the topography of the area and increased vehicular congestion in the immediate
area, development at a density of 16-24 units per acre would be inappropriate and may
have negative effects on adjacent properties,
Designating the subject properties for development at 2-8 dwelling units per acre
recognizes the topographic and vehicular access limitations of the area.

WHEREAS, based upon the preceding findings, the City Council of Iowa City determines that
changing the land use map designation of property located east of Harlocke Street, known as
the Jensen tract, from 16.24 dwelling units per acre to 2.8 dwelling units per acre falls within
the context of the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IOWA CITY,
IOWA, THAT:

747 West Benton Street
Iowa City, Iowa 52242
May 10, 1994
Mr. Tom Scott, Chair of the Planning & Zoning Commission
and Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission:
We are writing in connection with Rezoning Item REZ93-0007 (an approximate 17.08
acre tract of land located generally on the easst and west sides of Harlocke Street and north of
Highway I). We are not directly adjacent to the area affected, but our property is close by and
it is inevitably affected by basic decisions relating to property west of Miller, east of Weeber, and
between West Benton street and Route 1; and, as a resident on West Benton Street, we are
inevitably affected by traffic incident to any development in the area affected,
We wish to state our support of the proposal to zone this area RS-5. A strong case has
been made that any higher zoning would generate a traffic volume which would severely impact
upon the Weeber-Harlocke neighborhood, In addition, zoning which would permit development
of greater density would adversely affect all users of West Benton Street. Similarly, any zoning
based on the assumption that a Route I-West Benton Street artery could and would be established
should be rejected because of the undesirable effect this would have on West Benton Street traffic
volume,
Our support for the lowest possible zoning for the area under consideration is also based
on ouir view that higher density zoning is very likely to result in development having the harshest
possible adverse effect upon the natural beauty of the area. AllY development of the area between
West Benton Street, Miller, and Route 1 should be done in a manner which preserves the existing
topography and provides protected open space, The Iowa City Neighborhood Open Space Plan
has found that over seven acres of open space are needed for this general area. It is imperative
that provision for the establishment of such open space be made now before imprudent
development precludes that opportunity.
As we have informed various representatives of the City, we would seriously consider
contributing a part of our land as a participatory effort to encourage others to do so also. The
City has an opportunity for long-range planning in this area that will not recur, but it is obvious
that seizing the opportunity will take leadership and imaginatiion by those who have been chosen
to represent tIle City in the public interest.
As we will be out of the United States from the middle of May to the end of August, we
have asked Philip A. Leff to represent us in connection with any zoning or development matter
that might arise while we are away, From now until the end of August, I have asked Bob Miklo
to send to Mr. Leff all notices for us concerning REZ93-0007 (or any other matter involving
property in the area bounded by West Benton, Miller, Route 1, and Weeber).
Thank you for considering this statement.
William & Barbara Buss

Councilman Larry Baker
City of Iowa City
Dear Councilman Baker:
We are writing to share with you our interest in seeing that land,
adjacent to our home (REZ93-0007) is zoned, in its entirety, to RS-5.
Our position on this matter is founded on two fundamental
concerns....safety and the preservation of our neighborhood.
The unbridled development of the the above referenced property is cause
for concern, we believe, due to the likelihood that traffic will be routed
through our neighborhood via HarIocke Street. Multiple family
development of the property, we believe, will create a level of traffic
activity that is not compatible with the safety that our children
currently enjoy. Further encroachment of the multiple-dwelling units,
as now exist on Benton Street, will only exacerbate an already marginal
traffic situation on Benton and the adjacent streets.
Our second fundamental concern is founded in the belief development of
the property at a higher density of zoning will not result in a situation
that favors the long-term investment in our home and neighborhood,
including our neighborhood school, Roosevelt Elementary, Fueling
further encroachment of multiple-dwelling development will not, we
believe, enhance the value of our property nor generate the support and
participation in the preservation of our neighborhood, Additionally, it is
our belief that our neighborhood school will not enjoy the level of
vitality, support and participation that it requires and could expect from
an RS-5 designation,
As we have never been contacted by a developer nor shown any pro forma
plans, our concerns, admittedly, reflect a speculative posture, However,
we do not believe our concerns are unrealistic nor unreasonable given
the prevailing circumstances, Consequently, we believe that the most
prudent course of action would be to acknowledge these concerns and
those of our neighbors and place the burden of proof on any developer
who may wish to step forward and make a thoughtful and legitimate
proposal. To insure that our neighborhood's interests and concerns are
comprehensively addressed, the RS-5 designation should be maintained

Dear Councilor:
"
This letter is to request that you give a very serious consideration to a RS-5 rezoning for the
entire parcel described in REZ93-0007. I am making this request because as a property owner in
the 'Harlocke-Weeber neighborhood, I am extremely concerned about the potential traffic
problems which a development at a higher density would bring,
i
I
I have two children (age 6 and 9) and there are many small children in our neighborhood, I am
concerned about the effect that a substantial increase in traffic on Harlocke St. would have.
Many of the children from Weeber Circle and Weeber Street walk to Roosevelt School, crossing
Harlocke Street everyday, If the traffic increases substantially on Harlocke Street, it could
lead to a tragedy,
")
',.
.I;,
,
"
'. i.
I moved here from the San Francisco Bay Area one year ago. I am truly amazed that how fast
we are destroying the open green space in the Iowa City proper. Just within the last several
months, many trees have been cut down to build more houses, I do realize that somebody
developed where I live now, But, it is probably time to look at how fast Iowa City is
developing before it is too late,
-;J
It is always a difficult task to balance development, safety, and environmental conservation. I
hope that you consider the safely issue first by voting RS-5, It is possible to re-examine the
current rezoning issue if a plan that addresses all the factors are is presented, But the safely
issue cannot be re-considered after the fact. Thank you for your time,
\ i'
Sincerely,

Iowa City, IA 52246

Ms, Naomi Novick
306 Mullin Avenue
Iowa City, IA 52246
Dear Ms. Novick:
,..,
i
We are writing this letter to request that you give serious consideration to an
RS-5 rezoning for the entire parcel described in REZ93-0007, We are making
this request because as property owners in the Harlocke-Weeber
neighborhood, we are deeply concerned about the potential traffic problems
which a development at a higher density would have.
We have been property owners in this neighborhood for 9 years and would
like to see it remain a safe place in which to raise a family and live. There is
considerable difference in terms of potential traffic problems on Harlocke
Street if the property is developed as RS-5 (3-4 units per acre) versus RS-8 (8-
1D units per acre).
\
A
\;,:I::
"",
Although a RS-5 development will present some additional traffic burdens on
Harlocke-Weeber-Benton Streets, such burdens will probably be within
acceptable limits to the neighborhood, because home buyers would be single
family and could work together with other neighbors to keep traffic and
related problems under control. RS-8 is unacceptable due to an MINIMUM of
300 extra vehicle trips on Harlocke per day (this is an estimate of the city
engineer).
We realize you have a difficult job to perform, but are placing confidence in
your ability to look at this issue as a way to preserve our neighborhood,
Therefore, we urge you to support a change in zoning for the property
identified in REZ93.0007 from RM-44 to RS-5.
.f'
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely, J\ (

Dear City Council Member:
,
,
We are writing to you concerning the decision to rezone the parcel described
in REZ93-0007. It is our belief and fear that zoning this land anything but
RS-5 would have catastrophic effects on our neighborhood,
One of the main reasons we moved to our present home in 1983 was for its
quiet, tightly-knitted neighborhood. We have enjoyed close friendships,
annual block parties, and a sense of security knowing the people around you
,are looking out for you. This is rare in any community, and especially in such
a transient, university town such as Iowa City. To risk destroying this
because of increased development would be a great injustice, not only to us as
individual citizens, but to the whole ofIowa City,
The Apple Ridge development is a perfect example that single family
residences in this area can be very successful and profitable. The fact that
the developers of the land in question have not been able to put forth any
plan (let alone an acceptable one) in the past 10+ years for the traffic and
high density problems this parcel must address should make it obvious to
everyone that it is just not practical to do so,
Therefore, we strongly urge you to change the zoning of all property identified
in REZ93-0007 to RS-5. We have faith in you, our elected officials, that you
will vote accordingly to preserve the continuity and safety of our
neighborhood so that Iowa City can be a better place to live and raise a
family, Thank you for your support.

Thank you for returning my telephone call regarding the upcoming public discussion
concerning the rezoning of the parcel of land adjacent to our home on Weeber Circle,
,This letter is a request that you give serious consideration to a RS-5 rezoning for the
entire parcel described in REZ93-0007. Weare making this request because we are deeply
concerned about the negative impact the potential traffic problems a development at a higher
density would have on our neighborhood,
As parents, we are concerned about the safety of young children, We would not like to
see our neighborhood destroyed by making Harlocke Street the carrier for traffic from a multi-
family development, estimated at 300 additional cars daily,
We purchased our home primarily for the beauty and serenity of the natural surroundings.
The terrain and natural beauty of the property under consideration could be destroyed if
development higher than RS-5 takes place, As property owners, we believe we have the right
to ask the city council to preserve and protect our property and neighborhood.
If you examine the minutes of Planning & Zoning Commission meetings you will find
their vote was closely split between rezoning this property RS-5 and RS-8, At least one city
council member has indicated that perhaps a RS-5 zoning would be appropriate until such time
as a developer presents a proposal which addresses the potential traffic and topology problems,
, The Apple Ridge development on the end of Weeber Street is an example of the lovely
homes that could be built if the property was rezoned RS-5, Local realtors have stated that the
greatest need in Iowa City today is for single family homes, A local businessman told us that
. doing business with home owners was more profitable than with apartment renters,
As city councilors, you are asked to serve the best interest of all Iowa Citians, We
believe your decision to rezone this area RS-5 would accomplish that. The families in the
Harlocke-Weeber neighborhood, the local business community, as well as future homeowners
would be best served by voting RS-5.
Therefore, we urge you to preserve our neighborhood and support a change in zoning for
all of the property identified in REZ93-0007 from RM-44 to RS-5,

Re: Harlocke Area Rezoning (REZ93-0007l
Dear Council Members:
This letter is a request that in your deliberations regarding the above referenced zoning
matter, you give serious consideration to a RS.5 rezoning for all three parcels described in
Planning and Zoning documents as REZ93-0007.
','
I make this request because as a property owner in the Harlocke-Weeber neighborhood, I
am deeply concerned about the traffic problems which development at a higher density
present.
Moreover, my wife and I own four acres of undeveloped RS-5 land adjacent ,to Mr.
Ruppert's property on the west side. We are adamantly opposed to any development of this
area that might lead to a major increase in traffic along Harlocke and Weeber streets,
We are also concerned that such development could eventually result in the destructive of
the topology of the area and have a damaging and lasting effect on our property. We are
convinced the terrain and natural beauty of the area could be destroyed if development
higher than RS-5 takes place. A RS.5 rezoning would allow some of this property to be
retained in its natural state and the green space along a deep ravine to be preserved.
')"
We realize you have a difficult job to perform but we are placing our confidence in your
ability to look at this issue as a way to preserve our neighborhood, Therefore, we urge you to
support a change in zoning for all of the property identified in REZ93-000" from RM.44 to
RS-5,

Re: Amendment to comprehensive Plan and Rezoning of the
"Ruppert's Tract" North of Highway 1
Gentlepersons:
", I
I am writing this letter on behalf of Charles W. Ruppert,
Richard H. Ruppert, Robert L. Ruppert, Katherine C. Hogan,
Cleldon F. Ruppert, Herman G. Ruppert and Rosamond V. Cooper
(hereinafter referred to as the Ruppert family) and in connection
with the city's proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and
rezoning of the "Ruppert tract". The Ruppert family objects to
any change in the comprehensive plan or any rezoning of the
"Ruppert tract". I have filed a Protest of Rezoning in connec-
tion therewith on behalf of the Ruppert family.
It would appear from the Staff Report and the Minutes of the
Planning and zoning commission that access to the Ruppert Parcel
was a major concern of the staff, the commission and area resi-
dents. This is a legitimate concern but there is apparently some
disagreement or confusion as to the number of accesses available
to the Ruppert tract which would not require access through RS-5
neighborhoods. I believe there is a genuine disagreement or sim-
ply all information is not known concerning the number of
accesses available to the Ruppert tract, especially off of High-
way 1. I tried to reach Pete Dallman of the Iowa D.O.T. last
week but was unable to make connections with him. He is out of
town this week. Prior to the council taking any action or clos-
ing the public hearing I would respectfully urge that they defer
or continue the public hearing until Pete Dallman has been con-
sulted to determine the number of accesses available to the Rup-
pert tract off of Highway 1 directly or through properties previ-

ously sold off or conveyed off. Access is a critical~~sut i~:;
this matter and I do not believe that the council shouo.w, t~ice
action or close the public hearing without full knowl~ge ~ all
accesses that are available to this tract. Furthermore, various
rezonings have been proposed in this area for a year or two so I
do not believe that it would be any hardship to continue the pub-
lic hearing so that all facts are known.
Honorable Mayor and city council
Page -2-
July 5, 1994
Regardless of the access issue, the Ruppert family objects
to the rezoning and any change to the comprehensive plan, and
states the following in support of their objections:
1. The Ruppert family has held this land for probably a
half century or more. The family has seen various zon-
ings and rezonings throughout the years. The Rupperts
have held this ground in particular for the so-called
"right development". It could have been sold many
times but has not been since the development has not
been "right". If the Ruppert family knew the zoning
was so precarious they would have sold it long ago.
2. The property was extensively studied prior to the adop-
tion of the current comprehensive plan. It was deter-
mined that this property should be zoned high density,
RM-44. I believe a major factor in this zoning desig-
nation was that there was adequate access onto Highway
1 so there would not be major disruption to the low
density single family residential neighborhoods. This
has not changed.
3. The city has adequate controls and review processes in
place to review any proposed development. Any large
scale development must be approved by the city of Iowa
City. Furthermore, small tracts cannot be conveyed off
the Ruppert tract without going through subdivision.
The city has more than ample review processes in place
to be certain that the property is developed without a
significant impact on the neighboring low density resi-
dential areas.
4. Furthermore, regardless of the zoning it is unlikely
that the property could be developed to its maximum
density due to the topography. A large portion of the
Ruppert Tract would have to access to the south on
Highway 1 and not Harlocke street due to the topogra-
phy. One might ask what difference does it make if the
property is down zoned if the property cannot be devel-

oped to the current maximum density. The answer is
that once the property is rezoned many options are
lost, including cluster type developments which may be
the best option for development of the parcel.
5. There has been a suggestion in the Staff Reports or
Minutes of the Planning and Zoning meeting that if
there are additional accesses to Highway 1 or addi-
tional accesses are later obtained the Ruppert tract or
a portion of the Ruppert tract could be rezoned again
back to a high density zoning. I would urge the coun-
cil to not rezone this parcel or any other parcel based
upon the premise that it can always be rezoned if the
number of accesses thought to be available was incor-
rect. We should determine the number of accesses at
this point prior to any rezoning.
In summary, the Ruppert family objects to the rezoning of
the Ruppert Tract and any change in the comprehensive plan relat-
ing to the Ruppert Tract. Furthermore, if the council chooses to
go forward with the rezoning, I would respectfully request that
the public hearing remain open until the access issue has been
fully explored and understood by all parties.
I would appreciate,it if you would make this letter and the
Protest of Rezoning a part of the public record. I would be
available to meet with the City Staff and/or Iowa D.C.T. over the
next two wee]cs in order to clarify all issues.
Your careful consideration would be greatly appreciated.

WHEREAS, the City's Comprehensive Plan is a statement of goals and policies for the
community; and

within the context of set goals and objectives described within the Plan; and
,
WHEREAS, the City Council, following public hearing, has made the following findings:
i
I
"
,
B. Due to the topography of the area and increased vehicular congestion in the immediate
area, development at a density of 8-16 units per acre would be inappropriate and may
have negative effects on adjacent properties,
A. Portions of the vacant properties located north of Highway 1 West and known as the
Ruppert tract are designated for 8.16 dwelling units per acre.
C. Designating the subject properties for development at 2-8 dwelling units per acre
recognizes the topographic and vehicular access limitations of the area.
WHEREAS, based upon the preceding findings, the City Council of Iowa City determines that'
changing the land use map designation of property located north of Highway 1, known as the
Ruppert tract, from 8-16 dwelling units per acre to 2.8 dwelling units per acre falls within the
context of the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.

I ~1 U
Date: May 5, 1994
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Monica Moen, Senior Planner ,
Re: Proposed Amendment to the CC-2 Zone Regulations to Permit Building Contractor
Facilities
BACKGROUND
In the attached letter dated April 14, 1994, John Roffman requests that the Planning and Zoning
Commission consider his proposal to amend the regulations of the CC-2, Community Commercial,
Zone to permit building contractor facilities. Mr. Roffman owns a CC-2 zoned property on the
east side of South Riverside Drive in the vicinity of Benton Street. He wishes to use this property
for his building contractor facilities operation. Mr. Roffman is requesting that building contractor
facilities be permitted in the CC-2 Zone, with the understanding that no outside storage will be
permitted on the site. It is his belief that this restriction would make the use consistent with other
uses presently allowed in the CC-2 Zone.
ANALYSIS
Two issues are raised by this amendment request:
(1) Outside storage of materials and merchandise; and
(2) The compatibility of building contractor facilities with other uses permitted in the CC-2
Zone.
Outside storage: Building contractor facilities are permitted in the CI-1, Intensive Commercial;
1-1, General Industrial; and 1-2, Heavy Industrial zones, Typically the CI-1 Zone and, to some
extent, the 1-1 and 1-2 zones, have uses or operations that are characterized by outdoor display,
storage and/or sale of merchandise or by operations that are not completely enclosed. Special
attention must generally have to be directed toward buffering the negative aspects of these kinds
of uses on neighboring uses.
Areas zoned CC-2 are often located with access from major thoroughfares. These thoroughfares
not only make access to these major business districts convenient, but they also function as the
major entranceways into the community. Consequently, it is in the public interest to limit or
control the extent of open storage permitted in these zones to enhance the image of the
community as people enter the city on these major traffic routes. Although certain areas of the
community located along major traffic routes have recently been rezoned for other intensive
commercial uses, these newly zoned areas have had conditions placed on them which shield
outside storage activities from view of the public rights-of-way.

,
The nature of the outdoor storage characteristic of building contractor facilities is not compatible
with the other uses allowed in the CC-2 Zone. Exterior storage of heavy construction equipment
and construction materials and supplies is not consistent with the limited outdoor activities
permitted of some of the uses allowed in the CC-2 Zone. If building contractor facilities were
permitted within this zone, their presence should be conditioned on having no outdoor storage
of materials, supplies or construction equipment, and no storage of these items in partially
enclosed structures. Enforcement of this restriction, however, may require the vigilance of
neighboring property owners or interested residents,
Compatibility of use: The major CC-2 zoned shopping centers within the city such as
Pepperwood Place, Sycamore Mall and eventually Westport Plaza, contain businesses that are
intended to serve a major segment of the community's population. The tenants in these facilities
rely upon patrons who are coming to the shopping center for multi-purposes.
A building contractor facility is not dependent upon the clients that typically patronize the uses in
a CC-2 Zone. Similar to a warehouse operation, a building contractor facility is not expected to
draw patrons who have come to a CC-2 Zone for the retail activities this zone permits. While a
building contractor facility may be designed to physically blend with other uses allowed in the
zone, this use would establish a commercial void in the zone and its presence would prevent the
ability of establishing a more commercially intensive use on that site that would more successfully
enhance the vitality of the commercially zoned area. From this perspective, it is staff's opinion
that a building contractor facility would not be a compatible use in the city's CC-2 Zone as the
zone is presently designed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the request to amend the CC-2 Zone to permit building contractor facilities
with no outside storage be denied.

Re: Definition change for sec. 36-19 CC-2 Building
Contractor to Iowa City Zoning Ordinance.
Building contractors are now speCified as permitted use in
Sec. 36-23 CI~l, which i~clude5 yards and pre-8slembly
yards.
I am requesting that building contractors be permitted use
in CC-2 Zone, with the definition not allowing outside
storage or pre-assembly yards. I believe that this would be
consistent with permitted uses in Sec. 36-19 CC-22 (b)
~. (1) Business Ind peraonal service
establishments except drive-in facilities.
I would appreciate yout: considering th~s matter and the
change in definition.

Re: John Roffman
Request For Text Amendment to the
Permitted Uses in the CC-2 Zone
Dear Karen:

Mr. Roffman contacted me on Friday, May 6th, concerning
a letter he had written to the Planning and Zoning commission
dated April 14, 1994, essentially requesting a Text Amendment
to the Iowa city zoning Ordinance to expand the permitted uses
in the CC-2 Zone to include building contractor facilities
excluding yards and pre-assembly yards.
John shared with me, at our meeting on May 6th, a copy of
the Staff Report on this proposal dated May 5, 1994, which
report recommends against such a Text Amendment.
~
The purpose of this letter is to inquire as to whether or
not the Staff's position would be the same regarding a Text
Amendment which would allow Mr. Roffman's proposed use as a
special Exception in the CC-2 Zone. It would appear that Mr.
Roffman's proposed use of the property in question would not
differ substantially from any number of uses which might be
permitted as Special Exceptions related to auto and truck
oriented uses and since Special Exceptions are granted on a
case by case basis, the city would be able to control in the
future what contractor uses are permitted in the CC-2 Zone and
would be able to prevent establishment of such uses in areas
where such a use would be inconsistent with the uses already
established in the surrounding areas.

From: Charles Denney, Associate Planner
Re: ANN94-0005, REZ94-0007, Mormon Trek Boulevard/Highway 1 Intersection
, '
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City of Iowa City is requesting approval of the annexation and rezoning of the Mormon Trek
Boulevard/Highway 1 intersection and an area of Mormon Trek Boulevard northwest of the
intersection. Annexation of the intersection is being requested to facilitate the installation of a traffic
signal. Annexation of the other area is being requested so that all of Mormon Trek Boulevard will
be located within the City limits,
ANALYSIS:
10\
\;f;J,
:'
Iowa City is pursuing the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Mormon Trek Boulevard'
and Highway 1, The City Traffic Engineer has determined that a signal is warranted at the
intersection, The intersection is currently located in Johnson County, and the County is not
interested in pursuing installation of the signal. Approval of this annexation will bring the
intersection within the city limits and will allow the City to move forward with plans for signalization.

Annexation of the area northwest of the intersection will bring all of Mormon Trek Boulevard within
the city limits, and will eliminate jurisdictional questions regarding this segment of the street.
Both of the areas requested for annexation are street rights-of-way. Subsequently, staff is recom-
mending the areas under consideration be rezoned to the zoning designation of adjacent properties.'
The Mormon Trek Boulevard/Highway 1 intersection is recommended to be zoned CI-1, and the
area to the northwest is recommended to be zoned CO-1.

Iowa City is pursuing the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Mormon Trek Boulevard'
and Highway 1. The City Traffic Engineer has determined that a signal is warranted at the
intersection, The intersection is currently located in Johnson County, and the County is not
interested in pursuing installation of the signal. Approval of this annexation will bring the
intersection within the city limits and will allow the City to move forward with plans for signalization. '
Annexation of the area northwest of the intersection will bring all of Mormon Trek Boulevard within
the city limits, and will eliminate jurisdictional questions regarding this segment of the street.
Both of the areas requested for annexation are street rights-of-way. Subsequently, staff is recom. i, '
mending the areas under consideration be rezoned to the zoning designation of adjacent properties.
The Mormon Trek BoulevardlHighway 1 intersection is recommended to be zoned CI.1, and the
area to the northwest is recommended to be zoned CO-1.

ANALYSIS:
The Near Southside Redevelopment Plan identifies the area generally located south of
Burlington Street; west of Gilbert Street; north of Court Street; and east of Clinton Street as
being appropriate for intense mixed use commercial and residential development associated
with the downtown area. The plan identifies areas south of Court Street as being appropriate
for residential development that would help support the commercial development to the north.
The current PRM zone of the subject property and the adjacent properties to the south were
enacted to implement the intent of the Near Southside Redevelopment Plan.
The applicants have requested that the subject property be rezoned to CB-5 to allow it to be
used for commercial office uses rather than the residential uses which it is restricted to in the
PRM zone. Although the requested rezoning represents only a minor adjustment in the zoning
boundary to include one additional lot south of Court Street, and the commercial use of this lot
may be no less compatible with the adjacent residential properties than the other land uses in
the area; the proposed rezoning would not be in compliance with the Near Southside
Redevelopment Plan and could lead to other requests for commercial rezoning south of Court
Street. Court Street currently serves as a clearly identifiable boundary between the existing and
proposed commercial development to the north and the existing and proposed residential
development to the south. Approval of the subject rezoning request could contribute to the
erosion of this boundary.
One of the main objectives of the Near Southside Redevelopment Plan is the provision of
residential uses near downtown to support the vitality of the downtown area throughout the day.
Conversion of residential uses to commercial uses, which are active only during the business
day, detract from obtaining this objective of the Near Souths ide Redevelopment Plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the proposed rezoning of the subject property from PRM to CB-5 be
denied.

BUILDING
The structure on 402 S. Linn was built by Frank Vogel approximately in 1920 and
remained his residence until his death in 1986. After Mr. Vogel's death the house was
purchased by Market Park, Inc. in 1986 and by Youth Homes, Inc. in 1987. It was
recently purchased by Gary Hughes and will be subsequently purchased by Daniel Bray
and Lori Klockau, Iowa City attorneys.
Youth Homes, Inc. made several major improvements to the structure in 1987
including new wiring, roofing, two furnaces, two water heaters, central air conditioning,
and replastering many walls. They also adapted the second and third story to provide
bedrooms for clients and built a third story deck on the back (east) side of the house.
This house has many fine features which had been somewhat preserved by Youth
I
Homes, Inc. which are highlighted in the attached photographs. These include a walnut
staiIway with carved balusters and trim, a built in sideboard with a mirrored pass

through to a butler's pantry, walnut woodwork, and an ornate walnut and brass fireplace.
However, the structure has also begun to deteriorate due to age and abuse.

PRM zone would not allow for tbecurrent structure to be torn down and rebuilt into a
bigb density multi-family dwelling. The parcels adjacent to 402 S. Linn have recently
been developed and are not available to be acquired and developed into a single larger
apartment complex.
This building has been purchased by Gary Hughes from Youth Homes, Inc, It
was Mr. Hughes' original intention to convert the structure into either fraternity or
rooming house. After learning the restrictions on use due to the parking regulations,
Mr. Hughes now is proposing to spend $10,000 remodeling the house into a duplex, If
the structure is converted to a duplex it will certainly continue to deteriorate rapidly,
PROPOSED ZONING
Lori L. Klockau and Daniel L. Bray, Iowa City attorneys, are requesting that the
parcel located at 402 S. Linn be rezoned to CB.5 (Central Business Support Zone). The
area immediately across the street to the north is zoned CB-5. To rezone this property
would not be "spot zoning", but would only be a jog in tbe current zoning boundary.
Bray and Klockau currently is a two attorney office which practices solely in the area of
,
I,.
domestic relations and family law. The office employs two full-time and three part-time
employees.
If permitted to rezone the property to CB-5, Bray and Klockau intend to renovate
and restore the current structure to house tbeir law office. Daniel Bray is an avid
woodworker and has the tools and skills to replicate tbe broken balusters on the walnut
stahway. Initially, it is anticipated tbat only the first floor (1,175 sq, ft.) would be

utilized by the law practice in the first year. Renovation of the second and third floors
would most likely take place one to three years in the future.
Rezoning this property to CB.S would be the most efficient use of this parcel
while allowing a historic building to be refurbished. Because this structure is on a busy
street comer near downtown Iowa City, it is desirable that the building not be allowed to
deteriorate further, as it most likely would if it were forced t~ remain a duplex rental
property.
The law office is a relatively low intensity business which would not pose parking
or traffic problems in the neighborhood, All neighbors within 200 feet of the property
line have been contacted and all support the rezoning of this property to CB-S.
CONCLUSION
Rezoning this property to CB.S from PRM would be the best use of this land,
allow for an orderly transition of business to residential use in the area, and allowing the
preservation of a historic building.

Dear Ms. Horowitz and city Council:
As you and I have recently discussed, Dan Bray and I are in
the process of purchasing a building which is located at 402 S.
Linn. We are requesting that this property be rezoned from PRM
to CB-5. Our zoning request has been approved by the Planning
and Zoning commission. At this time we are asking that we be
allowed to expedite the process of rezoning and request your
assistance in this matter,

Facility/Family Home," and "Group Care Facility"
On May 5, 1994, the Planning and Zoning Commission considered a request from Craig Mosher,
Hillcrest Family Services, to revise the Zoning Ordinance to permit a five-bed group home for
people with serious mental illness. The Commission requested that staff draft an ordinance
amendment that addressed more than the immediate needs of Hillcrest Family Services, The
current definition for "developmentally disabled," as it applies in the Zoning Ordinance to "family
care facility" or "group care facility," was written at a time when group residential facilities were
primarily provided for persons who were diagnosed during infancy or childhood as mentally
retarded and/or physically handicapped. That is, the handicapping condition was diagnosed
during a "developmental" stage of an individual's life,
Several changes have occurred in recent years making group residential settings and their
accompanying definitions much more dynamic. First, persons with a broader range of disabilities
are eligible to reside in group home settings. Second, the number of residents as well as the
amount of supervision has been reduced in cases where a more independent setting is
appropriate. Third, the funding streams now favor less institutional residential placements.
Fourth, recent court cases, sections of the State code, and the Americans with Disabilities Act
indicate that group residences, particularly those with five or fewer residents, should not be
discriminated against through the use of additional zoning regulations.
It is staff's view that the Zoning Ordinance should be amended to reflect the current status of
community-based group residential facilities.
Familv Care Facility/Familv Home
The definition for family care facility/family home as currently provided in Section 36-4(f)(3) reads:
Family care facility/family home. A community-based residential home, which is (1)
licensed as a residential care facility under Chapter 135C, (2) licensed as a child foster
care facility under Chapter 237 of the Code of Iowa, or (3) accredited as a community
supervised apartment living arrangement and regulated under Chapter 225C of the Code
of Iowa (1993) and Chapter 24 of the Iowa Administrative Code, that provides room and
board, personal care, rehabilitation services, and supervision in a family environment by
a resident family or counselor(s) for not more than eight (8) developmentally disabled
persons, However, family care facility does not mean an individual foster care family
home licensed under Chapter 237.

This definition was amended and adopted on January 18, 1994, in response to a specific request
from Systems Unlimited. The previous definition had restricted implementation of recent
state/federal residential programs in Iowa City. One difficulty with the recently adopted definition
for "family care facility/family home" is it is tied very specifically to particular State legislation. As
that legislation changes, the City ordinance will need to be amended as well. It may be more
effective to implement a more general definition. However, because family care facilities are
permitted without any qualifying condition or provision in residential zones, including the RS-5,
RS-8, RFBH, RS-12, RNC-12, RM-12, RM-20, RNC-20, RM-44, R/O, and PRM zones, the
number of residents served in the facility should continue to be limited to eight or fewer persons.
The "family care facility/family home" definition indicates that supervision is provided by "a
resident family or counselor(s)." Increasingly, supervision in group residential facilities is provided
by non-resident counselors, who may stay overnight with the in-home residents, but do not reside
there. This can be clarified by amending the definition to read "counselor(s) or a resident family."
The current definition of "family care facility/family home" restricts the residential setting to only
persons who are developmentally disabled. This excludes persons whose disability occurred
after a certain age. For example, people can suffer a brain injury, or the onset of mental illness
after age 18. In a memorandum dated May 18, 1994, Planning and Zoning Commission member
George Starr suggests that from a residential standpoint, it shouldn't really matter what age
people were at the onset of a disability. Staff concurs that one way to resolve this dilemma would
be to change the definition to read "disability" instead of "developmentally disabled."
Developmentallv Disabled
If this amendment occurred, the definition for "developmentally disabled" would need to be
replaced with a suitable definition of "disability." Currently, Section 36-4(d)(4) defines
"developmentally disabled" as:
Any person who has a disability attributable to, but not limited to mental retardation, '
cerebral palsy, epilepsy, autism or another similar neurological condition; dyslexia resulting
from an above disability; or a mental or nervous disorder which disability originates before
such individual attains age 18, and which constitutes a substantial impairment expected
to be long-continued and of indefinite duration.
Staff recommends that the definition be altered to describe disability, rather than the disabled
person. Staff also recommends that the age limitation phrase, "which disability originates before
such individual attains age 18," be deleted from the definition.
Group Care Facilit~
Section 36-4(g)(6) of the Zoning Ordinance defines a "group care facility" as:
A government licensed or approved facility which provides resident services in a dwelling
to more than eight (8) individuals not including resident staff, but not exceeding 30
individuals. These individuals are developmentally disabled, aged or undergoing
rehabilitation; are in need of adult supervision; and are provided services in accordance
with their individual needs. Group care facilities shall not include nursing homes.

The term developmentally disabled is a limiting factor within the "group care facility" definition.

Mr, Craig Mosher, Regional Director
Hillcrest Family Services
205 12th Street
Cedar Rapids, IA 52403-4028
Dear Mr. Mosher:
Thank you for your letter of April 19, 1994, requesting a revision of Iowa City's zoning
ordinance to include small group homes for people with serious mental illness, The five-bed
residential treatment facility you describe does not currently comply with existing zoning
requirements for either group homes or family care facilities,
Your request has been forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Commission which will consider
amending the ordinance to permit inclusion of small residential care facilities such as yours.
We will notify you when this item is to be discussed by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
A need for this type of facility is recognized in Iowa City's Comprehensive Housing Affordability
Strategy and we are dedicated to achieving those goals,
Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance at this time,
Sincere~ .J/J

Date: May 18, 1994
Subject: Disabilities definition
I did a little research into the developmental disabilities definition, It seems that the federal
definition V s what is on the books in the state are somewhat at odds, I have included a
few pages of definitions and clarification's from the ADA This provides a definitioILOf
"disabilities" as opposed to "developmental disabilities" which, to my way ofJhin.king,
makes more sense for zoning ordinances, FJ:.om a living (residential) standpoint, it
shouldn't really matter wlmUge..p.euple were at the onset of a disability,
Apparently, the state legislature did attempt some sort of definition modification to the
Code ofIowa this year pertaining to zoning, I have attached a FAX from the
Developmental Disabilities Council pertaining to this, Although "developmental
disabilities" is still included, I suspect this was a cause that simply did not receive too
much attention this year, The general consensus I am hearing is that should the definition
be challenged, the b!Qlli1eLEedera1.dciinillon would win out. Of course, that's a question
for legal.
Anyway, ifI were to vote today, without hearing staffs' side of the story, I would go with
the ~bilitie~" definition as oJlllosed to the narrower, "developmental
disabilities" definition, However, I have not thought through the implications of such a
definition change, I'm sure Marge already has all this information, but since I offered, I .
thought I'd better produce,
Let me know if you have any questions or ifI can look into anything else for you,

Re: Request to Revise the Zoning Ordinance Definition of "Developmentally
Disabled"
, '
'I:;
In the accompanying letter dated April 19, 1994, Craig Mosher, the Regional Director of
Hillcrest Family Services, requests that the Planning and Zoning Commission consider revising
the Iowa City Zoning Ordinance definition of developmentally disabled. Dr. Mosher's
immediate concern is the definition's requirement that mental or nervous disorders originate
before an individual reaches age 18. This age restriction prohibits Hillcrest from providing
residential services to clients it is capable of serving.
,"
~',
At your May 2, 1994, meeting, the Commission will be asked whether it wishes to consider
this Zoning Ordinance amendment or other amendments required to enable establishment of
smaller group facilities, If you wish to do so, please advise staff at your informal meeting
where you would like the item placed on your work program. Staff will be present at your
informal meeting to answer any questions you have concerning this matter.

Dear Martann,
I am writing to make formal request that the City of Iowa City revise its zoning
ordinance to include group homes for people with sertous mental illness to
accomodate the new five bed group home we are proposing to build in Iowa City.
While some of our client's psychiatric disabilities began before they were
eighteen years old, some became ill later in life and would not fit the present
definition.
We will be happy to help get whatever materials we can, to help in developing a
definition which will meet legal requirements. Also, in my role as chair of the
Johnson County Planning Council for Mental Health/Mental
Retardation/Developmental Disabilities/Brain Injury, I would be glad to review a
draft to help insure it is inclusive enough to cover all disability groups.
Please let me know if we can provide any additional information.

:::
Dear Mayor Horowitz,
I am writing to request that the City Council provide expedited consideration of
our request for a change in the zoning ordinance to allow Hillcrest Family
Services to construct a five bed group home for persons with mental illness in
Iowa City, Hillcrest is submitting an application to the Department of Housing and
Urban Development for Section 811 funding to build the home,
We have learned that the present zoning ordinance does not provide for small
group homes for persons with mental illness. Karin Franklin's letter to me of April
26, 1994 outlines the problems in the existing ordinance, HUD requires that we
obtain assurance from the City that our project complies with the zoning
ordinance, Therefore, the success of our application for HUD funds in the amount
of $237,000 depends upon making the changes in the ordinance as soon as
posssible,
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Cordially yours,
~udk

CITY OF IOWA CITY
Mr. Craig Mosher, Regional Director
Hillcrest Family Services
205 12th Street
Cedar Rapids, IA 52403-4028
Dear Mr. Mosher:
Thank you for your letter facsimile of April 25, 1994, requesting a revision of Iowa City's zoning ordinance to
include small group homes for people with serious mental illness. The five-bed residential treatment facility
you describe does not currently comply with existing zoning requirements for either group homes or family
care facilities,
Facilities that are similar to the proposed Hillcrest facility are described by the current zoning ordinance as
follows:
Family care facility: A community-based residential home, which is licensed either as a residential care
facility under Chapter 135C or as a child foster care facility under Chapter 237 of the Code of Iowa. that
provides room and board, personal care, rehabilitation services, and supervision in a family environment by
a resident family for not more than eight (8) developmentally disabled persons,
Developmentally disabled: Any person who has a disability attributable to but not limited to mental
retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, autism or another similar neurological condition; dyslexia resulting from
an above disability; or a mental or nervous disorder, which disability originates before such individual attains
age 18, and which constitutes a substantial impairment expected to be long-continued or of indefinite duration.
Group care facility: A government licensed or approved facility which provides resident services in a
dwelling to more than eight (8) individuals not including resident 'staff, but not exceeding 30 individuals, These
individuals are developmentally disabled, aged or undergoing rehabilitation; are in need of adult supervision;
and are provided services in accordance with their individual needs, Group care facilities shall not include
nursing homes,
Given the above definitions, a five-bed residential treatment facility for persons with multiply-diagnosed mental
illness does not qualify as a family care facility because the age of onset of the disability may be after age
18, Additionally, the facility does not qualify as a group care facility because there are fewer then eight
individuals served,
Following the receipt of your letter formally requesting the ordinance modification, the process proceeds as
follows:

2, Planning and Zoning reviews and decides:
a, Do they wish to consider the request.
b, If so', when do they want staff to prepare a report and recommendations.
3, Following Planning and Zoning Commission review of the staff recommendation, the Commission
forwards its recommendation to the City Council.
4. Five meetings of Council to hear, consider, pass and adopt the proposed changes:
a. Council sets public hearing and notice is published in the Press-Citizen.
b. Council holds public hearing on the proposed ordinance amendment.
c, First consideration of the proposed ordinance.
d. Second consideration of the proposed ordinance.
e, Council decides to pass and adopt OR deny the proposed ordinance.
Under this application process, the Planning and Zoning Commission could direct staff to proceed during its
meeting on May 2, 1994. The process may culminate with final Council decision on August 16, 1994.
However, a letter to the City Council from your organization requesting expedited consideration of the request
could result in a decision by June 14, 1994, provided the Commission requests staff assistance on Monday,
May 2 and makes a recommendation on the proposal on Thursday, May 19, Under the expedited Q) ,
consideration process, Council is asked to hold the public hearing and give first consideration to the proposed
ordinance amendment at its June 7, 1994, meeting, At its next meeting on June 14, if there are six Council
members present, Council could waive the second consideration and proceed to pass and adopt the
ordinance,
Staff will forward your request to the Planning and Zoning Commission on May 2 to begin the modification
process, We will notify you when this item is to be discussed by the Planning and Zoning Commission for
actual Commission consideration of the ordinance amendment. We strongly encourage you to attend the May
2 meeting to support your reque'sf and its expedited review.

A need for this type of facility is recognized in Iowa City's Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy and
we are dedicated to achieving those goals,
Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance at this time.

Included for your information is a copy of the Preliminary Assessment Schedule.
OTHER
One property owner has' expressed a desire to delay construction of this project
until next spring, If this is a concern shared by other property owners, we would
expect to receive notification to that effect at or before the public hearing. We are
investigating the effect of project postponement on the assessment procedure. The
adoption of the resolution of necessity must receive an affirmative vote for passage
equal to three-fourths of the full membership of the Council. If a remonstrance or
objections are filed signed by property owners subject to 75% of the assessments,
a unanimous vote would be necessary.
,
In addition to the Maiden Lane Paving & Sanitary Sewer Assessment Project, the
City is funding the Maiden Lane Pedestrian Bridge that will link the north and
south portion of the paving project. Public Works and Engineering will recommend
awarding this contract in the amount of $104,015. Engineering fees for this project
are approximately $18,000 for a total City investment of $122,015.

Dear Ms. Ilenderson:
'-';'
I have received you letter of 5/16 detailing the changes in the plan
for the redevelopment of Maiden Lane hetween Court and Harrison.
The new design calls for parking to be moved to the east side of the
st reet.
'-
I have two major concerns with the new design. Hrst, where do you
propose to locate the dumpsters? Second, what provisions are there
lelr loading access to our huilding?
-,

I
! ~
This project has been.in the planning phase for () years. Many
meetings were held with property owners to determine the optimum
design to serve the c~rrent and future needs. Now, at the last
minute before contracting, you have proposed a radical redesign of
the project. This redesign will cause serous problems for the
operation of our business. Changing the new design to accomodate
loading and dumpster facilities reduce the available parking spaces
to fewer than than the original design.
I strongly oppose this change in the design of Maiden Lane and
I will exercise any and all means at my disposal to stop It. The
current dirt road Is preferrable to this design.
Sincerely,
, I
