MEMORANDUM
Date: June 9, 1989
To: Planning and Zoning Commisslon /J
From: Karin Franklin, Senior Plan
Re: Zoning Ordinance Amendment - Second Hand Stores
In January of this year, the Commission was approached by the owner of the Second Act, a
used clothing store, requesting that clothing consignment stores be permitted by right in the
CI -1, Commercial Intensive zone. A letter from Melissa Williams is attached. At that time the
Commission placed the issue on the pending list to be dealt with after the Comprehensive Plan
and childcare, The Commission has made Its recommendation on the Comprehensive Plan
and the work on childcare has begun and may take some time. The amendment for second
hand stores can be addressed more quickly.
Attached is an ordinance which permits "used merchandise stores" in the CI -1 zone and defines
used merchandise stores as those which engage in the retail sale of second hand goods such
as clothing, furniture, books, shoes, or household appliances. (Note that the sale of furniture
and appliances is a use permitted by right in the CI -1 zone now regardless of whether the
goods are new or used.) These stores would not include the sale of used vehicles or auto
parts, or scrap or waste dealers. This definition would include consignment businesses, such
as Ms. Williams suggested, and the direct retail sale of used goods purchased by the
proprietor of the store or donated by individuals, such as a Salvation Army outlet.
CI -1 Zone - Background
The commercial intensive, CI -1 zone was originally adopted in 1983 to fulfill primarily two
purposes: 1) to provide areas for sales and services that are characterized by outdoor display,
storage or sale of merchandise and other land consumptive uses, and 2) to distinguish areas,
such as the Highland/Gilbert Court area, that had developed under M-1 zoning from areas
where exclusively Industrial uses should be located (1.1 and 1-2). Under M-1 zoning in which
any use was permitted, the Highland/Gilbert Court area developed as a wide variety of uses,
When the CI -1 zone was adopted, the ordinance included as permitted uses many existing
uses that might not typically be found in an intensive commercial zone but were included so
as not to make existing uses non -conforming, Thus there is an unusual mixture of uses in CI -
1 areas that cover development existing In 1983, Despite this mix of uses the intent of the
zone remains to provide a place for land consumptive uses and discourage retail uses per se
which were to be located In retail core areas,
The question before the Commission is whether the use proposed - used merchandise stores -
conforms to the Intent of the zone. The staff Is not convinced that it does.
The rationale for a change in the ordinance presented by Ms. Williams rests in an economic
consideration, and at least in her case, a need for space, The economic consideration that
rents in the "retail" zone are too high for this type of business is a difficult argument to use to
justify a change since it is an argument that can be used by many establishments, The need
AR 73

i�.

\ i'
for space directly relates to the Intent of the CIA zone. Although more storage and
"processing" space may be necessary for many used merchandise stores, it is questionable
that the space required is equivalent to that required for intended CI -1 uses, such as that
required for a furniture store or a farm implement dealership. There are currently six used
merchandise stores that deal primarily with clothing in the retail zones of CB -10 and CC -2:
Ragstock, Red Rose Old Clothing, two Goodwill outlets, Second -Hand Rosie's, and the Second
Act. (For the Commission's information we also know of three stores currently located in the
CIA zone: Bevy Boutique, the Crowded Closet, and the Budget Shop.) Other than the
Goodwill plant outlet, and possibly the Budget Shop, none of these establishments can be, in
the staffs opinion, reasonably considered land consumptive.
Staff Recommendation
Given the Intent of the CI -1 zone, as stated in the ordinance, the staff recommends that the
attached amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to define used merchandise stores nd permit
their establishment in the CI -1 zone be denied. ,

Iowa City Planning and Zoning Commission
January 26, 1989
Dear Planning and Zoning Commission,
JAN 2 71989
P.P.U. UrrAk IIYICNT
I own the Second Act, a used clothing store that has been in business at
2203 F Street in Iowa City for the past nine years, The Second Act
operates on a consignment basis, which means that people bring me things
to sell for them on a 50-50 basis.
For the past three years I have been searching for a larger location,
either an existing building or commercial land to put up a building on. It
was at this time that I discovered that the second hand clothing industry
was not named as a permitted use under CIA classification. I think that
second hand clothing stores should be added to the list of permitted
uses.
Let me begin by asking you a question, Do you buy used clothes? If you
are like most people in Iowa City the answer is no. If you are like most
people, you are a traditional shopper. You shop at the old Capitol
Center,, you shop at Sycamore Mall,, you shop at discount stores. These .
stores are all zoned CC/2, and attract a higher level of foot and vehicle -
traffic than consignment stores. They also have much higher gross sales
than consignment stores, and can support the higher cost of real estate
in CC/2. areas. In addition, these stores can afford to spend more money
on visual presentation, displays and marketing, which keeps up the
uniform Mall image, and to sustain the amount of traffic or business.
The second hand clothing is also different in that people bring large
quantities of clothing to consign. It is important that there be ample"
parking right at my front door for their convenience. There are also
differences in the way merchandise is stored. Currently, at least a third
Of my floor space is not retail space, but storage for goods that are not
in season. Even more storage space is essential for marking, cleaning,
and reviewing upcoming inventory. Thus, unlike other retailers, our
business is closer to being an industrial use of a building.
At this point I would like you to consider specifically designating
clothing consignment stores as a permitted use in the intensive
commercial zone Cl/1. Thank you for your consideration, and I would be
happy to answer any further questions you might have.
Sincerely,
Melissa J, Williams

As the owner of Houseworks, a resale store in Iowa City,
I
I would like to express my support for the proposed
amendment to the zoning ordinance which would allow
consignment clothing stores to operate in the CI -1 zones.
I believe the locations currently available for the
operation of consignment stores do not adequately meet
the space and parking needs of the consignment clothing

'
Allowing these stores to operate in CI -1 zones would
provide these shops with the ample adjacent parking that
is a "must" for the successful operation of such a store.
It also would make available the space required for
sorting, processing and storage of consigned merchandise.
I ,
I believe the proposed use to be compatable with the uses
already permitted in the CI -1 zone.
