C. PUBLIC HEARING ON AN ORDINANCE DESIGNATING THE NORTH SIDE RESIDENTIAL RE N S PR SR IN EL OHP N eage sae e Planning an Zoning Comm ssion he four publ c discussions concerning the designation of the OHP zone. Beagle explained the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the district initially recommended for approval by the Historic Preservation Commission including addi- tions on North Dubuque Street and at the north end of Johnson Street be approved, and on December 18, 1986, recommended that the area south of Church Street be approved, including two lots at the southwest corner of Davenport and Dubuque streets and a two block square area south of Church Street and east of Gilbert Street. Beagle noted Council recently received an official letter of endorsement from the Iowa Office of Historic Preservation, a letter from the Pepper family favoring the district formation, and a letter opposing the district j Informal Council Discussion January 26, 1987 Page 2 formation from the Yocum family. In response to Ambrisco, Karr said the City Clerk's office has received additional correspondence. Beagle presented overhead projector transparency maps of the proposed North Side Residential Historic District and discussed the district bounda- ries with Council. In response to Council, Margaret Nowysz said the University of Iowa President's house has not been included in any of the plans because it is on University of Iowa property and the Preucil School has Czechoslovakian history and would be more appropriate included with geographic area. Beagle stated the property and three structures located at the northwest corner of Church and Dubuque streets and owned by Lutheran Campus Ministries was included in the district formation with the stipulation that if property is ever acquired by the University of Iowa and converted to another use, at that time the property would be considered for rezoning to the "P" designation and also for exclusion from the North Side Residential Historic District. D. RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT OF DEAN OAKES WOODS ADDITION. Beagle said the revised plat consists of only four Tom andaa] is have limited access to Amhurst Street. Beagle said all deficiencies and discrepancies listed in the memorandum to the Planning and Zoning Commission have been resolved. E. RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE 1983 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE TO CHANGE THE LAND USE CLASSIFICATION TO STREB SOUTH INDUSTRIAL PARK FROM INDUSTRIAL TO INTENSIVE COMMERCIAL. Beagle said e Planning and Zoning Commis- sion took under consideration an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan which would change the designation from Industrial to Intensive Com- mercial. A motion to approve the proposed amendment failed for lack of a second. Staff had recommended against the Comprehensive Plan amendment. F. ORDINANCE TO REZONE A 13 STREB INDUSTRIAL PARK FROM I-1 TO CI -1. Beagle reported the Planning ana zoning recomilended denialof the proposed rezoning from I-1 to CI -1. Beagle said the Planning and Zoning Commission members felt the appli- cant did not cite any compelling reasons to change the classification of the subdivision; the established character of the area is indus- trial; and changing to CI -1 could adversely affect the entryway into Iowa City. Beagle said the Airport Commission also recommends denial of this request. Beagle stated the Comprehensive Plan clearly recog- nizes the area between Highway 218 and the Iowa River for industrial development and it was deemed by staff that alterations to CI -1 would be in conflict with Comprehensive Plan policies. Timmins said it is advisable to amend the plan, item E, before considering this ordi- nance. Zuber said the change to CI -1 would not deteriorate the area and development may increase employment and the tax base. McDonald said it is Council policy that if Council disagrees with the Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation, the Council would meet with the Planning and Zoning Commission to discuss the issue. McDonald pro- posed that Council defer action on items E and F and schedule a meet- ing with the Planning and Zoning Commission. Baker suggested Council discuss with the Planning and Zoning Commission an amendment to allow - 2'" `f .:" -f Informal Council Discussion January 26, 1987 Page 3 r'� able uses in the Industrial zone. In response to Zuber, Airport Commission Chairperson Joe Tiffany stated the Airport Commission supported staff recommendation because of the lesser density that currently exists and the property would be eligible for purchase with the FAA funds. Timmins said the clear zone regulations may prohibit uses that are allowed by CI -1 zoning and the City could receive claims of reverse condemnation because of the clear zone regulation. Timmins suggested that a memo be prepared for Council regarding legal issues related to this resolution. Council agreed to defer action on the ordinance and schedule a discussion with the Commission.
