RESOLUTION NO. 88-238
RESOLUTION SETTING FORTH REASONS FOR THE DENIAL OF REZONING OF
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 528 & 530 IOWA AVENUE AND 15 N. JOHNSON ST.
WHEREAS, the University of Iowa Community Credit Union had submitted
application to
rezone property located at 528 & 530 Iowa Avenue and 15
N. Johnson St. from RNC -20 to CB -2; and
WHEREAS, the Department of Planning and Program Development, in a staff
report dated September 1, 1988, recommended the proposed rezoning be
denied; and
WHEREAS, on October 6, 1988, the Planning and Zoning Commission, recom-
mended the proposed rezoning be denied by
a vote of 6-1 (Clark voting in
favor); and
WHEREAS, the City Council has examined the staff report of the Department
of Planning and Program Dt�cicpment, and the Planning and Zoning Commis-
sion action, and concurs with their recommendations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF IOWA CITY, IOWA,
THAT:
The application to rezone property at 528 & 530 Iowa Avenue and 15
N. Johnson St. is hereby disapproved for the following reasons:
1. The magnitude of the proposed land use change from residential to
I
commercial, and its potential consequences on the adjoining residen-
tial neighborhood, would necessitate an amendment to the
Comprehen-
sive Plan to substantiate the rezoning. The proposed amendment would
constitute a major policy change for the area which should be based
upon a study of the entire area rather than on a piecemeal, lot -by -
lot basis.
2. The present RNC-20/CB-2 zoning boundary was established to preserve
existing housing stock and established residential neighborhood along
Johnson Street from the intense redevelopment associated with the
downtown. Extending the CB -2 zone to Johnson St. would increase the
!
residential neighborhood's vulnerability to the additional traffic,
i
noise, and other negative impacts associated with increased activity
levels.
3. The proposed rezoning would contravene the purpose of the RNC -20 zone
to preserve the character of existing residential neighborhoods. The
subject propertieswere included in the RNC -20 zone because they
included residential structures similar to neighboring residential
properties, and preservation of existing housing stock is one way to
preserve the character of existing neighborhoods.
4. Parking and traffic problems would be compounded by the rezoning
proposal and Iowa Avenue, Van Buren Street, and Johnson Street are
not designed or constructed for this increased activity.

STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES - 1989 CDBG ENTITLEMENT FUNDS
On Tuesday, November 15; 1988, the Iowa City City Council held a public
hearing on the draft objectives and budget for the use of Community
Development Block Grant funds in 1989.
The Committee on Community Needs (CCN) reviewed all the 1989 requests for
CDBG funds and made a recommendation to the Iowa City Council on the use
of those funds. It was the consensus of CCN and the City Council that in
accordance with the City's Community Development Plan, the objectives
listed below would best serve Iowa City's community development and
housing needs, benefit low and moderate income persons, and help to
eliminate or prevent slums and blight.
1. Preserve, rehabilitate, weatherize and make accessible to elderly,
physically disabled and chronically mentally ill persons, older
rental and owner -occupied housing units through grants, low interest
loans and forgivable loans.
2. Assist physically disabled persons through improved accessibility by
installing curb ramps and repairing sidewalks in the City's older
neighborhoods, making the City Recreation Department's Potters'
Studio accessible and providing a ramp and playground equipment for
handicapped school children.
3. Reduce blight and provide for the physical, mental and emotional
well-being of low-income disadvantaged youth and adults through
constructive employment in renovating a Youth Services Facility.
4. Enhance the physical, mental, educational and emotional well-being of
the City's low to moderate income residents by assisting human
service agencies in the delivery of supportive services, and by
assisting in the development of a daycare and preschool center for
disadvantaged children.
S. Dispose of City property acquired for Lower Ralston Creek Improve-
ments.
6. Efficiently plan for and administer all CDBG activities with special
attention to increasing participation of Women and Minority Business
Enterprises in the CDBG Program.
7. Provide for project contingencies.

DESCRIPTION OF 1989 CDBG PROGRAM STATEMENT
IOWA CITY, IOWA
I. ACQUISITION BY SUBRECIPIENT
Cedarwood Neighborhood Center/Head Start - CDBG funds in the amount
of $50,000 will Si used to match funds from other sources to acquire
a property to serve as a neighborhood center. The proposed center
will centrally locate the Headstart Program and provide child care
and services for low-income residents at Cedarwood Apartments (a
privately owned Section 8 housing complex) and the surrounding
southeast portion of town. This project meets the national objective
of benefitting low and moderate income persons.
II. DISPOSITION
Disposit of Parcels in the Redevelopment Area - Funds will be used
to cover costs of disposing the remaining two parcels in the Lower
Ralston Creek Redevelopment Area. The $3,000 will cover appraisals,
bid documents and advertising. This project meets the national
objective of eliminating slums and blight.
III. PUBLIC SERVICES
Aid to Agencies - A number of Human Service Agencies have been funded
by the City of Iowa City for several Year. using federal General
Revenue Sharing funds. In FY87, support for the agencies was
approximately $189,000, of which approximately $90,000 were CDBG
monies. In FY88, funding remained at that same level. Since General
Revenue Sharing monies are no longer available, a decrease in level
of service of the agencies will occur unless other sources of funding
are found. The City of Iowa City is allocating 15% of the 1989 CDBG
Metro Entitlement Funds ($90,000) to help maintain the service levels
of the agencies listed below. The agencies which will be funded are:
Elderly Services Agency - The Elderly Services Agency helps people 62
Years of age and older in Johnson County to remain in their homes as
long and as safely as possible. Agency programs include chore and
respite care, outreach and advocacy, information and referral, as
well as the newer programs of shared housing and small housing repair
for low and moderate income elderly.
Mayor's Yputh Emolovment Program - Since 1968, the Mayor's Youth
Employment Program has provided subsidized employment for disad-
vantaged youth in Iowa City. Young people between the ages of 14 and
19 who meet eligibility guidelines gain supervised work experience
designed to assist them in completing their secondary education and
prepare for self-sufficiency as adults.
9
Page 2
United Action for Youth - Founded in 1970, United Action for Youth is
a community-based youth service agency which offers crisis interven-
tion, confidential counseling, creative activities, and other support
services to youth and their families. UAY's program components
include an outreach counseling program and a creative arts workshop.
All three agencies benefit principally low and moderate income
persons and therefore meet the national objective.
IV. REHABILITATION
Housing Rehabilitation - The Housing Rehabilitation Program provides
assistance in the form of grants, low and no interest and deferred
payment loans to low and moderate income homeowners. CDBG funds in
the amount of $300,000 will be used for six programs designed to
preserve the City's older housing stock and revitalize older neigh-
borhoods. These programs make necessary health and safety related
repairs and improvements; improve the accessibility of old homes for
persons with physical disabilities and make homes more energy
efficient. This program addresses the national objective of
providing assistance primarily to low and moderate income residents.
Small R pair Program for Low Income Elderly and Handicapped - $6,000
in CDBG funds will be used to assist elderly and handicapped home-
owners with emergency repairs and make their homes safer and more
accessible. During the past five years, projects for this program
have included repairing banisters, railings, steps, ceilings, roofs
and gutters, minor plumbing repairs, replacing torn linoleum floors,
and installing toilets. The small repair program for elderly and
handicapped persons principally benefits a limited clientele of low
and moderate income persons.
Youth Services Exterior Renovation - The Mayor's Youth Employment
Agency works with several agencies, including the Iowa Conservation
Corps, to provide job training and employment for young people
between the ages of 14 and 19 years of age. Funds in the amount of
$7,675 will continue the MYEP exterior renovation project including
construction of a handicapped accessible walk to adjoin the sidewalk
that was constructed last year. This project benefits primarily low
and moderate income youth.
Hillcrest Family Services Renovation - This $25,000 loan will enable
Hillcrest Family Services to complete a rehab project of a large home
to house nine chronically, mentally ill persons. This project will
meet the national objective of benefitting low and moderate income
persons by assisting this limited clientele.

Page 3
V. REMOVAL OF BARRIERS TO THE HANDICAPPED
Curb Ramo installation and Sidewalk Repair - Deteriorated sidewalks
and the lack of curb ramps create accessibility problems for in-
dividuals with physical disabilities in the community. CDBG funds in
the amount of $1,000 will be used to install approximately 17 curb
ramps and 20 squares of sidewalk. CDBG funds, allocated over the
past three years, financed the installation of 53 curb ramps through-
out the City's older neighborhoods. This project will benefit a
limited clientele assumed to be principally low and moderate income
persons.
noover tiementary Wool Ramo and Playground Facilities - This
project will use $5,000 in CDBG funds matched with private donations
to construct a handicapped accessible ramp and provide play facili-
ties for handicapped children on a school playground. The project
will serve approximately 275 children, including 43 children with
physical disabilities, a limited clientele presumed to be principally
low and moderate income persons.
Potters' Studio Handicapped Accessibility - Recreation Center - CDBG
funding in the amount of $6,805 will be used with Recreation Depart-
ment funding to make accessibility improvements to the Recreation
Center's Potters' Studio. By widening the doors, constructing lower
shelves, lowering the sinks and making electrical changes to accom-
modate the electrically run wheels, the City will further extend
recreational services to persons with physical handicaps. This
project meets the national objective of benefitting low -moderate
income persons.
VI. GENERAL ADMINISTRATION
Proaram Administration - Program administration funding of $105,000
will be used to provide effective and professional coordination,
management and monitoring of the 1989 CDBG projects. The City's
Rental Rehabilitation and Section 312 Programs will also be ad-
ministered by the CDBG staff.
Planning and Program Development - CDBG funds in the amount of
$12,000 will be used to gather basic data on housing and neighborhood
conditions in order to provide data for future housing and acces-
sibility activities, including a rental survey, continued development
of low income housing programs, and assessment of accessible routes
in the community for wheelchair-bound individuals.
W/MBE Assistance - This project will use $2,500 to provide assistance
to small minority and women contractor firms to increase their
participation in public works construction and housing rehabilitation
CDBG projects.
