Dear Mayor Ambrisco:
I am writing to you to express the strong support of the officers
and directors of the Iowa City Area Development Group for the
proposed ordinance amendment for zoning in zone CI -1 in Iowa
City.
I regret that the necessity of my presence in another meeting
prevents my attendance at the public hearing on this proposed
amendment. Please note, that I have made two presentations to 'I
the Planning and Zoning commission to support this amendment.
Reasons d in
nte
the
commission vtoeeattached outline e
supportstepsthe City of Iowa citywouldttake.
One additional recommendation would be that we not restrict it to
feet but perhaps consider expanding
operations of 5,000 square
the single purpose light manufacturing operations up to 10,000
square feet.
We appreciate your consideration and would be happy to respond to
any specific questions the council might have.
Sincerely,

Comments to P & Z
August 6, 1987
RE: CI -1 Ordinance Amendment
a. Clearly the majority (up to 80%) of business expansions are
looking for existing buildings...We have been non-competitive in
a number of cases where we were unable to offer an existing
building.
b. Clearly the majority of economic development projects
nationally are attributed to small industry
expansions/entrepreneurs.
c. Most entrepreneurs start small ... to grow into larger
facilities... Most of start-up inquiries are in 2500 to
10,000 ft. range.
Start up businesses are capitol poor...seek partially
depreciated spaces at lower cost rather than new space
at current prices...
Timing of occupancy often limits the potential of building to
specs
Building owners can leverage property for
` P Y potential equity
support in a new start up
d. We have 15 Iowa City buildings listed on our computer file
-. with spaces from 1000 to 6000 feet... 10 are in the Maiden Lane,
Highland Court, Stevens Drive area...
e. Types of projects we have seen looking for space in that
range include:
Research and product development
Software development
Computer Aided Design Systems

tain a yard setback equivalent to that required in the abutting residential

Re: Amendment of the CI -1 Zone
The staff is proposing an amendment to the CI -1 zone to
provi-

the Iowa City Area Development Group (ICAD) and others, we have becomeaware
of restriction in our Zoning Ordinance which impedes certain types
entrepreneurial development and which may not be desirable or necessary. of

the zone.
Attached is a list from ICAD of inquiries which they have had for small scale
production operations since January 1 of this year; none have found locations

typically characterized by outdoor display, storage and/or sale of merchandise,
by repair of motor vehicles, by outdoor commercial amusement and recreational

not completely enclosed. Special attention must be directed toward buffering
the negative aspects of these uses upon any residential use.

P.P.D.. Lrw1j*MFNT
We run an auto repair shop in a building that we also manage at 424
Highland Court in Iowa City. Our shop uses about 40 % of the space and we
attempt to rent the rest to pay the expenses of the facility. Several times in
the past we have had problems with prospective tenants due to what we feel
are inconsistencies and inflexiblity in the city zoning ordinances related to
commercial districts. While we understand that certain types of businesses
would not be suitable in this area, we feel that the city may be losing others
that really were not meant to be excluded, due to the ordinance not
distnguishing between strictly industrial operations and businesses that
carry on a combination of operations, some of which might involve
production. The case in point is a prospective tenant that wants to lease
about 8,000 square feet for a ceramics business. This would be a
combination of retail, wholesale, office, educational, and some processing.
These people are attempting to relocate in Iowa City, and expand their
current operations, and feel that our building is an ideal location. They are
not interested in being in an industrial park for two reasons; there are few
buildings that are industrial that are small enough to suit their needs, and,
due to the portions of their business that are retail and educational it would
simply be a bad location. The extent of their business that involves
processing involves several electric kilns. We feel that the intent of the
ordinance as it was written probably was not to exclude this type of business
but that it does so only because there is no way as of now to discriminate
between large scale, purely industrial operations and smaller scale
businesses that might only have part of their operations in
in
Processing.
In another case, we had talked to an individual in Chicago who operates
a business that produces leather goods for both retail and wholesale
markets and currently has about twenty employees. He wished to relocate to
Iowa City, but ran into the same type of problems. Our building may have
suited his needs but the zoning would not allow it, and the alternatives in
Iowa City are very limited for someone who wants to operate a small, non-
industrial type of production business.
In both cases we have lost prospective renters that would enable the
owner of this building to continue to feel confident about maintaining an
investment in Iowa City, As managers of the building we are frustrated in
our attempts to find tenants that can fit exactly the current commercial
zoning criteria. The losers are not the potential tenants as they can go
elsewhere, to another s
Potential employers, tatate or city. Iowa City, on the other hand, is losing
xpayers, and desirable small businesses, We are

w
losing potential income that would enable us to operate the building and our
own business in the future , in Iowa City.
