April 21, 1988
The Jeffrey Wright Development Company proposes the construction of a
retirement center for the frail elderly. The center would consist of 112
units or rooming suites in which one or two people between the ages of 65
and 95 would reside, Meals, transportation via a private bus, and basic
care would be provided. The property they have chosen for a site is in
the southwest quadrant of the intersection of Walden Road and Mormon Trek
Boulevard. It is currently zoned RS -8, single family and duplex residen-
tial. The proposed project will require a rezoning to a category which
will permit the intensity of use appropriate for a residence for the
elderly. A request to rezone the property to RM -12, and ultimately OPDH-
12 with approval of the planned development, is before the Commission.
ANALYSIS:
The development density proposed is approximately one person/1294 square
a feet of land area or 33 people per acre. Since there is no density for
elderly housing prescribed in the ordinance in the lower density
categories, rooming houses in the RM -12 zone were used to extrapolate an
�56�,
Page 2
intensity of use which would be comparable to density (DU/acre) for
purposes of a planned development (OPDH). The rooming house density in
RM -12 assumes a maximum of three people for 2725 square feet of lot. This
equates to 48 people per acre, a more intense use of land than proposed
for this project. The RM -12 zone was selected since that is the first
zone in which rooming houses are permitted and the 12 unit per acre
density is already established directly north of the proposed project.
Comprehensive Plan.
The Short -Range Plan shows a residential density of 2-8 DU/acre for an
area south of a line of Benton Street extended to the west to the southern
corporate limits. Part of this area has been zoned and built under OPDH-
12 development already. A small area just north of Rohret Road developed
as OPDH-8. Any additional OPDH-12 development, even though it is
contiguous to existing OPDH-12 development, should be done in conjunction
with a Plan amendment since the quantity of OPDH-12 development becomes a
significant change in the policy for the area.
Rezoning to RM -12.
Despite the fact that a Comprehensive Plan amendment is required, the
staff supports the project request. The RS -8 zoning in place was intended
to provide a transition between the intense multi -family development to
the north of Walden Road and the RS -5 development anticipated to the south
of Rohret Road. Duplexes or single family at a higher density were seen
as the means of achieving this transition. The type of project proposed
in this case - housing for the frail elderly - should also provide such a
transition. The project contains characteristics of both neighboring
uses. It is a multiple living situation; however, given the clientele,
there should be little or no conflict between the proposed residence and
duplex or single family residences to the south. Setbacks and screening
of the site can also facilitate the transition. Since the proposal is for
a planned development as well as a rezoning, site plan review and approval
will be part of the process and can provide assurances of an attractive
and integrated development. The arguments in support of this rezoning
rest in the fact that a retirement residence is proposed. Therefore, the
rezoning should be approved based on the planned development.
Planned Development.
A preliminary site plan is enclosed to introduce the Commission to the
proposal. A complete site plan will be presented for the April 7 meeting
with a staff analysis. The building configuration generally follows the
topography of the area. A three-story building is proposed. There are
112 units which will consist of efficiency, one -bedroom and two-bedroom
suites without kitchens. Parking spaces are provided to meet the Code
requirements, however, the applicant intends to seek a reduction in the
amount of parking required since the average age of the tenants is
expected to be 80 years of age and transportation will be provided by the
residence. Elimination of some of the future parking on the south side of
the site will allow more open space between this development and future
development to the south. Access to the site is from Walden Road
exclusively; there will be no access from Mormon Trek Boulevard.

Prior to any approval of the rezoning or planned development overlay plan,
a subdivision of the tract will need to be submitted and approved. A
subdivision plat is anticipated for the Commission's review on April 7.
The rezoning and planned development were brought to you at this time, at
the applicant's request, to permit the Commission two meetings for review.
Economic Impact.
The estimated value of the proposed project is $4 million. Based on a
levy of $11.54919/51,000 assessed value, the estimate of annual tax
revenue generated by this development is $46,196. Since a full range of
municipal services is in place at the proposed site, this development is
expected to have no impact on the efficient provision of those services.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends deferral of the requested rezoning and OPOH plan pending
resolution of the deficiencies and discrepancies listed below. Upon such
resolution, the staff recommends approval of a Comprehensive Plan amend-
ment and rezoning from RS -8 to RM-12/OPDH-12.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
1. Evidence of ownership or a legally binding option must be submitted.
2. A schedule of completion is required.
3. The plan should be labeled "Preliminary and Final Planned Development
Housing Overlay Plan and Large Scale Residential Development Plan."
5. The plan should be completed to meet the LSRD and OPDH requirements.
6. A subdivision of the tract must be submitted and approved.
ATTACHMENTS:
I. Location Map.
2. Legal description of the property to be rezoned.

TRAFFIC
To help you understand the traffic Loadings, we have prepared these
estimates based on 1o0 suites.
10 service trips per day
8 van trips
60 resident trips (20% may have cars; 3 trips per day each)
60 visitors to residents (if 20% have visitors per day)
40 other visitors per day
24 staff trips per day to and from work
This would result in an average totaL of 215 trips generated per day
by the retirement residence.

WATER CONSUMPTION
These are some figures on sewage flows for the Madrona HiLLs
Retirement Residence which HoLiday Management operates in SaLem,
Oregon. Also included are the figures for an apartment complex in
Satem which is Of similar size to Madrona Mitts Retirement
Residence. For comparison, water usage was used to figure sewer
flow.
Madrona HiLLs Retirement Residence provides the foLLowing services
for its clients: private room, central dining room and food service,
maid service, and a full Line of social activity programs.
The average retirement home water usage for two months exclusive of
ground irrigation was 49,700 cubic feet. 'The average census of
Madrona Hilts Retirement Residence during this period was 105, which
figures to a monthly per person average of 236.6 cubic feet, or 7.8
cubic feet per day (approximately 59 get tons).
The apartment complex used for comparison is Located at 585 Winter
Street, Setem, Oregon. The complex contains 101 apartments. The
average water usage for a two—month period was 106,500 cubic feet
excLusive of grounds irrigation. The average month's use per
apartment was 263.8 cubic feet, or 17.5 cubic feet per day
(approximately 131.2 gaLLons).
The motel/hotel used for comparison has 150 rooms plus a dining room
which seats 120 and a Lounge seating 125. Its average water usage
for a two—month period was 171,500 cubic feet exclusive of grounds
irrigation. If this hotel was downsized to match our retirement
residence the water usage wouLd be 114,333 cubic feet.
In summary, the retirement residence used only approximateLy 46% of
the water used by the apartments, and 43% of a comperebLe size
hotel/motel with associated resteurent/bar.
An average singLe—famity dwelling unit uses 1900 cubic feet of water
every two months or 31.66 cubic feet per day.
The foots suppLied were provided by Don Johanson of the City of
SeLem, Department of Public Works, who selected the comparison and
calculated the water flows.

BACKGROUND:
Adequate sewer capacity exists
in the local line; plant
capacity will exist with
improvements to the existing
plant. Adequate water service
is available.
Sanitation services will be
privately provided. Police and
fire protection will be
provided by the City. The
retirement residence will have
a sprinkler system.
Access is provided from Walden
Road. A private transportation
system will be provided by the
residence.
The topography slopes from the
center of the subdivision to
the south and north.
Braverman Development Company owns a tract of land which it wishes to
subdivide into two lots. These two lots constitute the further
subdivision of an original tract of 55 acres. One lot is being purchased
by the J. Wright Development Company for the development of a residential
facility for the elderly. A rezoning application was brought before the
Commission for the rezoning of Lot 2 from RS -8 to RM -12 (Z-8806) at the
March 17, 1988, meeting. The project for the elderly is dependent upon an
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to change the land use designation
from 2-8 DU/acre to 8-16 DU/acre, the rezoning noted, subdivision of the
property to establish Lot 2, and approval of a combined planned develop-
ment housing and large scale residential development plan. The Comprehen-
sive Plan amendment and rezoning are addressed in the staff report dated
March 17, 1988. The subdivision, planned development and the LSRD plan
are addressed below.
ANALYSIS:
Subdivision:
The subdivision carves out two lots of approximately four acres and three
acres in size from a 28 acre tract. Lot 1, to the north, is the proposed
site of the Iowa City Retirement Residence; Lot 2 will remain undeveloped
at present and retain its RS -8 zoning. On Lot 2 a sidewalk easement
exists along the border with Walden Wood Part One; this was provided as
part of the Walden Wood Part One planned development.

The subdivision is in substantial compliance with the subdivision regula-
sewalks the
westssideThe
ofsWaldendRoadebee
deferred untilnsuchltimenasfthe property west
of Walden Road is developed. Final approval of legal papers is pending.
Planned Development Housing Plan:
The planned development meets all of the technical requirements of the
overlay to
request (Z-8806) �Cedated Pleaserefer
17,a 1988, thestaff
an explanation ort onot thethe rdensity
calculations for the proposed project and a general description of the
project. Since that report was written, the lot configuration of the
project Therefore, thehintens intensity of ed to ouserproj ctedadditional
s development rilleebe
less than originally anticipated and clearly below the density level
permitted under RM -12 zoning.
The only variation requested in the OPDH plan pertains to use. Assuming
approval of the requested rezoning to RM -12, the use of the property for
elderly housing varies from the standard permitted uses of the zone, i.e,
rooming houses or multi -family development. The use proposed is more
structured in operation and should provide an effective transition between
the intensity of development to the north and the potential single-family
or duplex development to the south.
The building will be substantial, with three floors including the base-
ment. The total area of the building is 92,000 square feet; the footprint
or area of land covered is approximately 40,000 square feet. Although
this building is larger than other buildings existing in the area, the
configuration of the building and its placement on the side of the the along the contours should diminish any appearance of unusual bulk.
Approximately two acres of private open space, excluding the parking
areas, will be provided. With an anticipated reduction in the parking
(see below), the amount of open space on the lot will increase to 2.5
acres with the open space being provided on the northerly and south-
easterly portions of the lot.
Large scale Residential Development Plan (LSRD):
The plan revised March 17, 1988, meets all of the requirements for an LSRD
except compliance with the tree regulations. Right-of-way trees must be
within ]4 to 8 feet of the right-of-way and some of the trees shown are
too close to the building given the size of the trees. The number of
parking spaces shown on the plan exceeds the number required. The
applicant has indicated a desire to reduce the number of spaces required
given the clientele of the facility. This will require action by the
Board of Adjustment which can be accomplished after approval of the
rezoning, subdivision, and site plan and need not affect this requested
action.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends deferral of the subdivision and the planned develop-
ment housing overlay plan and LSRD plan; however, upon resolution of the
'6�y
V
tr
Page 4
deficiencies and discrepancies noted below, the staff recommends approval
of the requested action.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
I. Final approval of legal papers for the final plat of Walden Wood,
Part Two.
2. Compliance with the tree requirements on the LSRD plan.
3. Storm water drainage from the parking area to the storm sewer.
4. Connection to the City water system.
5. The height of the entry canopy should be no less than 1316" and the
drive should be 20 feet wide.
6. A hydrant is needed within 60 feet of any Siamese connection on the
building.
7. Submission of a document showing ownership of or interest in the
property which is the subject of the LSRD and planned development.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
SUMMARY REPORT
April 7, 1988
Commission
Iowa City Retirement Residence
Applicant:
Jeffrey Wright Development Co.
Request:
Preliminary and final OPDH-12 plan
approval.
Location:
The southwest quadrant of the intersec-
tion of Walden Road and Mormon Trek
Blvd.
Existing zoning:
RM -12, low density multi -family
residential zone.
Proposal:
The construction of a 112 unit retire-
ment residence for the frail elderly in
which housekeeping, congregate meal,
and transportation services will be
provided to the residents.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation:
Approval
Recommended Variations and
Rationale:
A. Land Use: The use of the property for elderly
housing varies from the standard
permitted uses of the zone, i.e.
rooming houses or multi -family develop-
ment. The use proposed is less intense
in terms of traffic generated, density
of occupancy, and potential activity
than the uses customarily found in the
zone. The Commission finds that this
variation will not adversely effect
neighboring properties due to the
characteristics of the use noted and
that the variation will contribute to
the harmony of development in the area
by providing a land use compatible with
uses to the north and anticipated uses
to the south and west.
54f
a
Sidewalks: Sidewalks typically are required to be
installed on both sides of the street
when it is constructed. In this plan,
the installation of the sidewalk on the
west side of Walden Road is deferred
until such time as development takes
Place to the west.

Dear Iowa City Council Members:
In reference to the proposed zoning change from RNC -20 to
CO -1 at 615 East Jefferson, I would like to add some written
remarks to those 1 gave Off-the-cuff at your last meeting.
The correct intention of the RNC -20 zone as stated in the
code is: It is the purpose of this zone to preserve the
character of existing neighborhoods and is desigi,ed to
prevent existing multifamily uses within the neighborhood
from becoming nonconforming. Conversions and redevelopment
may occur up to the density provided in this zone. It is NOT
intended to prevent multifamily housing as Peter Hayek said.
This does not mean that neighbors prefer parking lots to
housing.
Clarification should be made as to how Pediatric Associates
became a CO -1 use in an otherwise residential zone. Their
parcel and the parking lot owned by Mercy were both Zone P -
public parcels when Pediatric Associates lot was the playing
field of the Central Junior High. Perhaps at the time the
School Board sold Central to Mercy the community should have
challenged putting a CO -1 use in a purely residential block.
It should have been stopped as spot zoning.
Now, Attorney Hayek wants to make a case that changing this
RNC -20 lot to commercial is a contiguous use of commercial.
This is a very clear sign of how our precious residential
district will become ALL commercial. The Pediatric
Associates lot is better defined as a CO -1 use on outer edge
of a residential zone.
Contrary to the case being made, harm will be made to our
fragile residential inner-city neighborhoods. This block
that the Pediatric Associates has intruded on (and now
wishes to expand on) is wholly RNC -20 and residential. It
is disheartening to think that a parking lot is an
improvement over houses as Attorney Hayek would state. The
facing block is also residential RM -12 low density multi-
family. The "adjacent CO -1" is the Mercy parking lot. With
the exception of Pediatric Associates, the whole block, both
sides is residential.
The bigger problem that the RNC -20 neighbors and those in
the adjacent RM -12 and RM -44 should address with the City
Council and Planning and Zoning is the medical/parking
complex which has been alluded to. Will all our inner city
residential neighbors become service centers to the
hospital? If, in fact, a medical office building will be
built on the former Central Junior High site, will the city
567
hold them to replacing and expanding available parking ON
THAT SITE?! Where will the creeping CO -1 zone stop?! NOT
to mention the 1/2 block parking ramp 1 block north at
Johnson and Jefferson. What are the rights of apartment
owners and residents?
We should call attention to the fact that good housing is
good business too. Most housing units in RNC -20 and in the
neighboring RM -12 and RM -44 are multiunit. This means that
they are owned and operated by business people. They pay
taxes, they bring people to the community and if they don't
trash their property in the hope of selling it for a parking
lot, they will use the members of the building trades
(roofers, plumbers, electricians, etc.) to maintain their
asset, will increase property values, and will borrow money
from the bankers for mortgages and improvement loans.
It is the very "promise" that letting your property run into
the ground and still get a good price for it as a parking
lot that encourages the disregard for our current housing
stock. It's time the community lets it be known again that
inner-city housing is important to those of us who live and
work and spend in this community.
Sincerely,
Sandra Eskin
Landlord in RNC -20 Zone
