Public hearingon an amendment to the research develo ment ark RDP zone. Franklin stated Council received a summary of this ordinance; the amend- ment would redefine the ROP zone to require that at least 60% be in it Office and research use and 40% be in manufacturing or assembly use; and saidathatcided one that ne acre lot would lotswould of requiree more an LSNRDp and rtotg.aFranklin before the zoning takes place, a concept plan and covenants et review that would cover the park would have to be submitted. Franklin said the public hearing is just on the ordinance revision, but there has been a request by Southgate Development to have this ordinance applied to Northgate Development Park. Franklin stated the Planning and Zoning Commission has indicated a desire for Council to consider the ordinance amendment and Southgate's request in tandem. Franklin suggested Council proceed with the public hearing and readings as planned. In response to Zuber, Franklin said the reference to Clear Creek was made with regards to statements made by outside experts in the University's Charette Seminar indicating that a city the size of Iowa City cannot anticipate getting national headquarters; Iowa City should look at smaller developments; and a one acre lot size might be more appropriate than the two acres in the zone. Franklin said staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission feel the ordinance amendments would be advantageous for Iowa City regardless Of who uses it. Dickson asked why there would be a limitation on public review. Franklin explained public review would occur when the park is being designed; a concept plan and covenants would be required and then, when the developer wants to sell individual lots within the park, build- ing permits for the individual lots would be reviewed administratively, o„.i.- to Franklin said fitness, centers and health spas are included as special exceptions in the amended RDP zone and the proposed definition distin- guishes fitness centers from other commercial recreational uses. D. Public hear{nn Franklin said the Federal Emergency Management Agency has adopted new rules that relate to manufactured housing in the floodplain and Iowa City is required to amend the local floodplain ordinance to comply with the rules in order to continue to participate in the Federal Insurance Pro- gram. Franklin said it is proposed that the model ordinance provided by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources be adopted locally. Franklin explained changes made from the model ordinance are: 1) the appeal of regulations would go to the Board of Adjustment, and 2) to require certi- fication for floodplain development by an engineer. Franklin noted that small stream bank erosion control projects less than 500 feet and that do not extend three feet into the floodway are exempted from the certifica- tion requirement and the City Engineer can waive certification if a Person is competent to handle an evaluation.

Atkins said Iowa City is also obligated to notify the Johnson County Conservation Board and that Iowa City will be relinquishing the permit. The Council agreed to table the Coralville Milldam project.
