CONSIDER A RESOLUTION APPROVING, AUTHORIZING AND
DIRECTING THE MAYOR TO SIGN AND THE CITY CLERK TO
ATTEST A CONTRACT FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF
CONSULTING SERVICES BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF IOWA
CITY AND MARKETEK, INC., FOR A DOWNTOWN IOWA CITY,
IOWA MARKET NICHE ANALYSIS
Comment: At its March 13, 2007 meeting, the City Council Economic
Development Committee unanimously approved the recommendation
that Marketek, Inc be selected as the consultant to conduct a downtown
Market Niche Analysis. The study will help clarify growth potential and
identify voids in the retail, office, residential and entertainment markets
so economic development efforts can be targeted to achieve growth and
fill voids. It will also provide data to demonstrate the economic
importance of downtown to the community at large. Fees for the study
will be $62,500. This resolution authorizes the mayor to execute and the
city clerk to attest the consultant contract with Marketek, Inc.
3.
CONSIDER A RESOLUTION APPROVING AMENDMENT TO
RESTRICTIONS AND COVENANTS FOR THE NORTH AIRPORT
DEVELOPMENT SUBDIVISIONS A1KlA AVIATION COMMERCE
PARK AND A1KlA NORTH COMMERCIAL AREA.
Comment: When Aviation Commerce Park was first marketed, the City
imposed covenants and restrictions to address certain concerns such as
screening and lighting. The Airport Commission at its March 8, 2007
Commission meeting (draft minutes are in the Information Packet) voted
to recommend that Council remove the covenants and restrictions from
all but Lot 5. The City's and Commission's broker supports this because
it will increase the marketability of the lots. Lot 5 is unique because the
side lot line borders a hotel. The new zoning code, which was
approved after the covenants and restrictions were imposed, also
addresses some of the reasons for initially imposing the restrictions.
