ORDINANCE NO. 78-2886
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING A PORTION OF THE SUBDIVISION
CODE, ORDINANCE NO. 2567 (SECTION 9.50.4D(4)(h)(4)
OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE CITY OF IOWA CITY, IOWA)
BY ALLOWING NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS WHO SUBDIVIDE
PROPERTY FOR THE PURPOSE OF ENCOURAGING ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT TO PETITION THE CITY COUNCIL THAT THE
IMPROVEMENTS REQUIRED TO BE INSTALLED BY THE SUB-
DIVISION CODE BE CONSTRUCTED BY THE CITY PURSUANT
TO A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT PROGRAM.
SECTION I. PURPOSE. The purpose of this ordinance is
to provide for the health, safety and general welfare
of the citizens of the City of Iowa City, Iowa by en-
couraging development in Iowa City by allowing for
the construction of improvements called for in the
subdivision code in certain instances by special as-
sessment rather than by requiring their installation
by the developer. This method can only be requested
by non-profit organizations which subdivide property
for the purpose of encouraging economic development
of said tract.
SECTION II. AMENDMENT. Section 9.50.4(D)(4)(h) of
Ordinance No. 2567 Section 9.50.4D(4)(h)(4) of the
Municipal Code shall now read as follows:
(4) the above alternatives shall be exclusive and no
subdivision shall be approved unless one of the fore-
going alternatives has been approved and no subdi-
vision shall be approved in which the Developer pro-
poses to request that the City of Iowa City, Iowa
construct said improvement, pursuant to a Special As-
sessment Program, except for the provisions of
9.50.4D(g) as to streets abutting the subdivision
which may be done by assessment method. However,
this provision shall not apply to any not-for-profit
corporation or association which subdivides a tract
of land for the purpose of encouraging economic de-
velopment of the tract. In such instances, upon
petition of Developer and upon approval of the De-
veloper's plans for development of said tract by the
City Council, any improvements required by this Chap-
ter may be constructed by the City pursuant to a
special assessment program.
SECTION III. SEVERABILITY. If any section, provision
or part of the Ordinance shall be adjudged to be in-
valid or unconstitutional, such adjudication shall
not affect the validity of the Ordinance as a whole
or any section, provision or part thereof not ad-
judged invalid or unconstitutional.
