Item No. 10 - CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 8.10, THE ZONING ORDINANCE, BY
ADDING DEFINITIONS FOR A RESTAURANT, A DRIVE-IN OR CARRY -OUT RESTAURANT,
AND A STACK -SPACE, BY AMENDING AND ADDING SPACE REQUIREMENTS FOR SEVERAL
TYPES OF BUSINESSES AND BY ADDING TO THE DUTIES OF THE BOARD OF ADJUST-
MENT (first consideration).
Comment: The Planning and Zoning Commission, at a regular meeting held on June 2,
1977, recommended by a 6-0 vote approval of the proposed ordinance.
The staff report on this item and the proposed ordinance was presented
to the City Council. This ordinance adds definitions of restaurant,
drive-in or carry -out restaurant, and stacking space to the definitional
section of Chapter 8.10. In addition, it amends the parking space
requirements for churches, auditoriums and other places of assembly. It
adds parking space requirements for several types of businesses which
had not been treated individually. The duties of the Board of Adjustment
are amended to allow the Board to vary the parking regulations when an
applicant can demonstrate the required number of spaces is unnecessary,
to waive the required parking spaces for a use located adjacent to muni-
cipal parking facilities. A public hearing on this item was held July 5,
1977.
This item was deferred from the previous meeting of the City Council
pending a question regarding the applicability of the requirements
to churches. The legal staff has researched this question and it is
proposed that the word "building" be added after the word "church" in the
regulations to resolve any question there might be in regard to whether
a churchrefersto the congregation -of _a church.,or to.the building ;A:"
memorandum`on_the questions 'aised�by-'the:Council-is attached.; Staff
recommends that Council consider all three readings and adoption of the
ordinance because it is extremely crucial to the Urban Renewal Program.

Item No.
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at a regular meeting held on July 7,
1977, recommended by a 5-0 vote approval of the subject subdivision
(located east of Sand Road and one-half mile south of the City limits)
subject to the following stipulation: that upon submission of the final
plat, the developer submit a waiver of access to Sand Road following
annexation by the City. This recommendation is consistent with the staff's
recommendation presented in a staff report dated June 16, 1977, and was
furnished with the agenda of July 26, 1977. The above stipulation would
require that the property owners within the subject subdivision relinquish
access to Gilbert Street (Sand Road), a proposed future major arterial
street, upon annexation and gain access via a public access easement being
provided within the subdivision. This plat was discussed at the last
meeting and consideration was deferred because of several questions the
City Council had regarding access to Sand Road. A county official from
the Zoning Administration Office will be present at the informal meeting
on August 8 to answer questions the Council may have in regard to this
subdivision.

Item No. 21
Although the subject plat is located in Iowa City's annexation area, as
established in an agreement with Coralville, the addition is within the
extraterritorial jurisdiction of Coralville. Therefore, they have referred
the plat to the City for review and comment. Because Coralville is
expected to consider this item at their meeting on August 9, it is necessary
that the Council review the plat at this time. Deficiencies and discrep-
ancies with the City's Subdivision Ordinance are presented in a memorandum
to the Planning and Zoning Commission and attached to this agenda. The
Planning and Zoning Commission will discuss this matter on Monday, August 8,

INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION: August 8, 1977, 1:30 P:M., in the Conference
Room at the Civic Center. Mayor Neuhauser presiding. Tape recorded

COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT: deProsse, Vevera, Neuhauser, Selzer, Balmer,

STAFFMEMBERS PRESENT: Berlin, Stolfus.
ZONING APPLICATIONS
Senior Planner Don Schmeiser was present for discussion.
Hull's. Country Estates - Assistant Johnson County Zoning Administrator
Judd TePaske was present for discussion. He advised that the
trailer houses will be removed before the County approves their
plata he also, stated that the County did. not say, 'no drives or
access onto Breeze road'. The City staff has asked fora public
access easement to be provided along the rear property lines and
they .will 'relinquish access rights to Sand Road, upon annexation.
r' ',The applicant is not willing to submit a waiver, so it should be a
condition of approval of the final plat. Council asked that it be
a'condition of the preliminary plat.
TePaske questioned procedure. Now the Board of Supervisor's approval
of a plat application is not conditioned upon the City approval.
City approval is needed only before the plat is recorded. The
applicant.could come to the City first. Joint consideration of a
request was suggested. Schmeiser commented that the P&Z Commission
wants to hold a meeting with the Johnson County Zoning group to
discuss these kinds of questions. The City Manager pointed out
that`. the decisions that Council makes concerning the wastewater
'treatment plant will determine what will happen in that area.
Zonin Revision ConcerningParkin - Schmeiser explained that in 1974
t e following, .for a.church existing prior to 1962, an addition
was not required to comply with Sec. 3" was dropped from the Code.
The, City Manager. suggested that all references to churches be taken
out of`the.ordinance, and later an amendment concerning them would
be presented. There was Council consensus that if a church was
destroyed, it would be okay to rebuild it with the same parking.
Terson Avenue -.,Schmeiser reported that a waiver on maintenance had
been presented. He will report regarding the utility easement if
it is over the whole right-of-way.
WindsorHeights - This item will not be added to the agenda until a
revision has been presented to Council.

AGENDA
The one-way experiment on Keokuk Street is planned for 30-60 days. The
bank's concern was only if the one-way was west -bound. The one-way will
inconvenience the others who have written no matter which direction it
goes. Material will be provided concerning the discrepancies between
Section 3 of the Charter and the Iowa Code. It was suggested that a
reference be added to the Charter stating that election information will
be found in the State Code.
All three considerations of Item 9, the Ordinance Amending the Beer
Regulations, and Item 10, Ordinance Amending the Zoning Ord. Parking
Requirements will be given at the formal meeting, also for the Taxicab
Regulation Amendment Ord. The City Manager noted nothing new on that
situation. Transit Superintendent Hugh Mose is reporting on a survey
made.After discussion of whether or not the City or the riders should
pay, the 15Q, and other alternatives such as subsidy for night service,
three Councilmembers indicated that they did not want to provide a 15¢
subsidy. The City Manager stated that Council has not yet made the
r decision that it is the responsibility of the City to provide transpor-
tation for 24 hours a day. Oxford has been asked to request a fare
adjustment. The SEATS contract is being reviewed by the Department of
Transportation.
.COUNCIL TIME
tr , deProsse mentioned that she had heard that some people are running their
septic _tanks into Ralston Creek. The City Manager will check this out
r 'if theJ ocations can be provided. Concerning the Ralston Creek project,
Foster, expressed disappointment in the direction that the engineers are
taking, 'going back to channelization, as noted in R.C.C.C. minutes of
July'27th.'; The City Manager offered to have Plastino and the consultant
come in and explain. Channelization ;,ould be where the City owns the
property. The R.C.C.C. discussion that if any G.O. Bonds are proposed
to be issued in FY 79 for Urban Renewal, to instead use HCDA funds for
rt Urban Renewal and G.O. Bonds for Ralston Creek was noted. There is a
problem in acquisition of land for detention sites, because of McLaughlin's
objections to doing anything without environmental impact statements.
This funding change would not require a referendum.
Balmer stated he was pleased with the memo presented by Consultant
Zuchelli and Hunter and Associates, about recommendations for economic
development of Iowa City. The City Manager will be discussing the
details with Council. The Mayor commented that the community has never
decided exactly what they want and made an effort to go out and get it.
There should be a combined concentrated effort by the City Government,
and,Chamber of Commerce and the University to go out and attract the
kinds of industry that would be acceptable to the community.
City Manager Berlin called attention to the memo concerning the Rape
Victim Advocacy program and the contract with the University. His
concern is about setting precedent in giving money to a University
sponsored activity. A majority of Councilmembers did not want the
Resolution placed on the agenda. The City Manager stated that the

University has been reluctant in the past to fund community groups
trying to deal with social problems in the community. Staff was asked
to pursue other alternatives regarding the contract or funding of a
certain element.
What rate of population growth is desired for Iowa City?
Agreement for alternative N2, delete others. Vevera,
Balmer, deProsse, Neuhauser and Selzer agreeing. Council
will consider qualitative aspects of growth later.
The City Manager asked for Council direction regarding what Council
wants to accomplish, kinds of information required, and the role for
Clayton Ringgenberg at the retreat to discuss the budget process for
FY79. He commented on zero based budgeting noting that the staff had
come up with a possible 150 units, there could be 3 or 4 ways to carry
out these budget units or functions, and for each of these alternatives,
there could be shown 3 or 4 budget levels, which would result in a
possible 1,500 various alternatives. He suggested identifying specific
areas where there might be problems. He suggested separating the
budget into two separate blocks: (1) Management By Objectives, which is
the first part of Zero Based Budgeting, to establish alternatives and
priorities, and (2) Detailed dollars and cents preparation. Council
discussed.whether or not to have the retreat before or after the start
of Hl in the budget process, and decided to have the retreat totally
independent of the budget, with no structured program, but with Ringgenberg
leading, and held before the Urban Renewal bids come in. (September
21st).
