BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Aviation Commerce Park North (North Airport Development) was subdivided in 2000, and
infrastructure was constructed to allow for commercial development on property along the north
side of the Iowa City Municipal Airport. The area was zoned P/CI-1, Intensive Commercial. The
Intensive Commercial zoning was established because it was thought to be a zone that would
attract airport-related service and storage businesses, and other similar uses that do not require
visibility from Highway 1.

2
In 2005 the City entered into an agreement with Wal-Mart to buy a large portion of the
development and the entire subdivision was rezoned to CC-2. The Comprehensive Plan was
amended to change the land use designation in the South Central District Plan from Intensive
Commercial to Community Commercial and the text of the plan was changed to refer to the more
general term "commercial" rather than the specific Intensive Commercial or Community
Commercial.
The sale of the property was not completed and the property is now being marketed. The City
has received offers for some of the lots located in the eastern portion of the subdivision. The
potential buyers require Intensive Commercial (CI-1) zoning.
The City is proposing to amend the Comprehensive Plan and to rezone lots 1, 5,6 and 7 back to
CI-1.
ANALYSIS:
Comprehensive Plan
The South Central District Plan, adopted in 2000, had originally shown this property as being
appropriate for Intensive Commercial development. As noted above the plan was amended in
2005 to change the land use map to show this property as being appropriate for Community
Commercial.
One of the justifications for the 2005 amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and the rezoning
from CI-1 to CC-2 was that the previously proposed large retail development would spur further
redevelopment and likely rezoning of the CI-1 zone located to the north along Highway 1. This
would support the goal of the South Central District Plan to encourage more retail development in
the highly visible area along the highway. In absence of a magnet retail development on Ruppert
Road, this scenario is unlikely to occur. With out a destination development to draw customers
from Highway 1 to Ruppert Road the development of the current CC-2 zone becomes less viable.
The original scenario contained in the South Central District Plan also encouraged the
redevelopment of the properties adjacent to Highway 1 for retail uses while the less visible
properties along Ruppert Road were seen as appropriate for CI-1 type uses. This scenario may
now be more viable. There is interest in CI-1 type uses for the eastern part of Ruppert Road and
therefore this rezoning is being requested.
Consideration may also be given to rezoning the entirety of Aviation Commerce Park to CI-1. But
before making that decision, the City is exploring other development scenarios. One possibility
would be the extension of Miller Avenue from its current terminus at Highway 1 to the south to
intersect with Ruppert Road. This would improve the street access and visibility of the western
portion of Aviation Commerce Park and make CC-2 type development more viable. This scenario
will require the cooperation of other property owners in the area and therefore may not be
successfully implemented. If it is not possible to implement such a plan, then the appropriate
zoning along Ruppert Road may be CI-1.
To assure consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, the South Central land Use Map would
need to be amended to show Intensive Commercial land uses in lieu of Community Commercial
along Ruppert Road. The February 1 agenda includes setting a pubic hearing for February 15 for
consideration of such an amendment.

Re: Rezoning Airport Commerce Park from CC2 to CII.
Please accept our apologies for not attending this meeting in-person. The Iowa City
School District rescheduled our daughter's concert - postponed by Tuesday's snowstorm
- to tonight, at the same time as this meeting. As any parent knows, you just can't miss
things like that - so hopefully this letter will carry the same weight as our presence.
We wish to express our adamant opposition to the proposed rezoning of the land
adjacent to our property in the Airport Commerce Park from Community
Commercial (CC2) to Intensive Commercial (CIl). This rezoning would change the
character of the development, making it incompatible with our hotel and future business
plans.
We own the Alexis Park Inn & Suites, the aviation theme-suite hotel located next to the
Iowa City Airport. We have spent the last five years remodeling the formerly run-down
motel into an award-winning Iowa City destination. After an immense amount of work
and money, the Alexis is now the top-rated hotel in Iowa City - and has been for three
consecutive years.
We have done this despite immense obstacles. Our biggest obstacle has been our
neighbor to the South, a company called "Harris Concrete". They are located on a small
plot between the hotel property, and Lot 5 in the Airport Commerce Park. They opened
about the same time we did, and have progressively turned an acceptable property into a
horrible eyesore, with concrete forms, rusted bails of rebar, and equipment of all kinds
stored outside, visible from Ruppert Road and our property.
They are the only business in the area with outdoor storage - precisely what you are
proposing to allow in the Airport Commerce Park.
\
In an effort to mitigate the damage to our business, we paid for 6-foot screening fencing
and installed it on their property - to no avail. It is simply impossible to build a tall
enough barrier when your hotel is 3-stories tall, with guest balconies lining the south side
of both buildings.
Please refer to the photographs of the Harris property, attached to this letter.
These photos were taken from Ruppert Drive just a few days ago, and graphically
illustrate the kind of outdoor storage that happens in an area that is zoned CIl.
As you can see, allowing outdoor storage is an invitation to entropy. Winter weather
exacerbates the problem, making items that are stored outside both inaccessible and
cosmetically even more unacceptable. The end result is disastrous.
Thankfully, working with our partners, we have obtained a purchase agreement on the
Harris property, and they are leaving the area soon. Our plans are to put a restaurant on
this land, which will compliment the ever-growing hotel business, and provide a much-
needed cosmetic boost for the area.
Now, much to our dismay, we discover that you are considering rezoning the entire
surrounding area to cn, which will remove the covenants and restrictions barring
outdoor storage on these lots. This potential change throws our restaurant planning -
and, in fact, all future development plans for the hotel- into doubt. In short, it's hard to
imagine building a restaurant in an area that will potentially look like the Harris property
in just a few months or years.
As we have learned from sad personal experience, outdoor storage is easily abused, and
ALWAYS an eyesore. The rules prohibiting certain items are virtually unenforceable,
and you cannot prevent a property owner from turning their property into what amounts
to a salvage yard.
Again, I ask that you refer to the photos of the Harris property, which is the only property
in the area with outdoor storage. Look at the horrible mess this once-proud property has
become, and imagine TWELVE ACRES of other properties looking just like it. Is this
really what the City wants?
Mike Tharp, Iowa City Airport Specialist, is on record opposing this rezoning, for fear of
the harm it will do to the airport and its users. Airport Commissioner Janelle Rettig is on
record opposing rezoning Lot 5 - the lot closest to the hotel - to cn status. We wish to
add our voice to theirs in opposition to this change.
We have invested our lives in the resurrection of the Alexis Park !un & Suites, and are
proud that the southern entrance ofIowa City is now gracyd by an award-winning luxury
suites hotel. We look forward to adding a fine restaurant to the property, and future
plans include enclosing our outdoor swimming pool, and adding a third building to the
hotel complex, with an additional 25 luxury suites.
Please don't do anything to jeopardize these future plans. Leave the covenants and
restrictions against outdoor storage in place on the 12 acres that make up the Airport
Commerce Park on Ruppert Road.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
~~/~--

land values--CI-1 v. CC-2
To:
From:
Re:
During the setting of the public hearing for the rezoning in Aviation Comme,rce Park North (item
5a and b), Councilor Vanderhoef asked for a comparison of land values for CI-1 land and CC-2
land. land values are affected by location, access, quality of land, surrounding land uses, and
zoning. The comparison included here is an estimate based on conversations with our realtor
for Aviation Commerce Park. The value of the CI-1 zoned land is approximately $3.30 to $5.00/
square foot. This is based on the pending sale of one lot and interest in another lot that are the
subject of the rezoning request and are dependent on this rezoning.
The value of the CC-2 land is a little harder to estimate. We increased the value of the easterly
lots in Aviation Commerce Park-North when the Wal-mart project was under consideration to
approximately $6.001 square foot. This was based on analysis by a local appraiser who took
into consideration Wal-mart acting as a retail anchor and magnet for the area. Without the
anticipated presence of such a magnet, the value is diminished due to the lack of direct highway
access and visibility to the CC-2 land. It is noteworthy that at the same time as we revalued the
CC-2 land to $6.00/ square foot to reflect the presence of a large retail anchor, CI-1 land on the
new Mormon Trek Boulevard sold for $12/ square foot. This is demonstrative of the importance
location has to value versus zoning.
To summarize, generally CI-1 land will have less value than CC-2 land. However, the location
and attributes of the land may trump the zoning in determining value.

Dear Members of the Council: 5> (Jl
0>
First of all, please accept my thanks for your willingness to serve the
citizens of our city by spending your time, thinking, and acting on matters
important to us as a community.
Let me make a request that is related to the communal health and well-
being of our city and its people; as we all know, housing for lower income
families is always a challenge in any community, including our own; on that
basis, let me ask the members of the council to keep the present zoning of
the area where the Coronet Apartments were built, and now to be
removed.
My thinking is that if that area is zoned for commercial for a restaurant, that
would eliminate the possibility of replacing the Coronet complex with other
low cost apartments for the many lower income families that we have.
If that area were kept as zoned now, the Council could actually take an
active role in encouraging developers to build housing for low income
families, and thus be a positive move on the city's part to help lower
income folks.
Thank you for considering this possibility.
Sincefely, a fl. .. L J. LJ_. -'
