Physical characteristics: The topography is gentle with
slopes of less than five

ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting approval of a preliminary Large Scale Non -
Residential Development (LSNRO) plan to permit connection of two existing
warehouses to create one building and to allow development of six addi-
tional structures for warehousing purposes. Provided the final plans for
this development do not deviate from the parameters of the preliminary
plan, the recently amended LSNRD regulations permit administrative ap-
proval of the final plans for these proposed expansions to the existing
facility.
It is the applicant's intent to develop the entire tract as a warehouse
park to serve both commercial and non-comnercial clients. Approximately
50,308 square feet of storage space are expected to serve the needs of
commercial clients and 21,600 square feet of mini -warehouse storage are
intended to serve the storage needs of private individuals.
On April 11, 1978, the City Council approved a final LSNRD plan that
permitted 'construction of the building identified as "B" on the existing
site plan. A final LSNRD plan approved on October 2, 1979 allowed for
full development of the site in a manner similar to the plan under consid-
eration. Under the LSNRD regulations in effect until March, 1986, how-
ever, final plans were effective only for two years without further action
by the Council. Only Building "C" was constructed during this period and
the final LSNRD plans expired in October, 1981.
Buildings "B" and "C" are presently separated by a 45 foot distance be-
cause of a Zoning Ordinance regulation [Section 36-67(e)(2)] which re-
quires that, where more than one principal building is permitted on a lot,
the buildings be separated by a horizontal distance equal to the height of
the highest building. The current owner proposes to connect these two
structures with a 45 foot x 60 foot addition which would, in effect,
create one building which has a total area of 23,508 square feet. The
height of the new structures proposed for this development should be
reflected on the plan to assure that the new buildings also meet this
separation requirement.
The applicant represents that the 30 foot X 30 foot extensions to Build-
ings "B" and "C" house offices but that the remainder of these buildings
are used as warehouses. At a rate of one parking space for each 200
square feet of floor area committed to offices, nine parking spaces are
required for this use. A total of 14 parking spaces must be provided for
the 71,908 square feet of warehouse space provided on the tract. There-
fore, a total of 23 spaces must be provided on the site.
161,34
firr
The capacities identified on the plans of two of the parking areas are
inconsistent with the number of spaces actually drawn on the plans. The
parking area east of Building "A" shows 14 spaces on Sheet 1 and 12 spaces
on Sheet 2, yet both plans indicate that that parking area has a capacity
of 13 spaces. A similar problem exists with a parking area west of Build-
ing "G". Both plans show only 19 spaces for this area, but the plans
reflect capacities of 22 spaces. At a minimum, 42 off-street parking
spaces are available on the site which satisfies the parking requirements.
If the applicant intends to use the existing parking area until future
warehouse developments require additional parking spaces, the development
site plan must be revised to reflect these interim parking phases.
The configuration of the parking area west of Building "A" does not allow
for a 22 foot wide aisle to accommodate the northernmost space (and a
portion of the space adjacent to it) on the west side of the parking area.
In addition, the plans do not appear to permit a 13 foot wide aisle for
the 45 degree angle parking shown south of Building "H" and west of Build-
ing "G'

The number of trees to be placed on the site exceeds the quantity required
by the Zoning Ordinance. The Ordinance requires that a minimum of one
small tree be planted adjacent to the street right-of-way for every 30
feet of lot frontage. With a frontage of 357.67 feet, 12 small trees are
needed; the plan indicates that 13 small deciduous trees will be provided.
The planting plan (Sheet 2) notes that parking island planters will typi-
cally be a minimum of 170 square feet. Section 36-73(b)(2)(c) indicates
that small trees must be planted at a ratio of no more than one tree for
each 120 square feet of planting area while large trees shall be planted
at a ratio of no more than one tree for each 256 square feet of planting
area. The large tree shown in the planting area in the middle of the
parking area east of Building "A" is too large for the size of that plant-
ing area. A small tree could be placed in this parking island planter and
satisfy the requirements for parking area trees.
The entire stormwater management system is to be in place at the time that
either Building "A" or "H" is constructed. The stormwater plan (Sheet 2)
should be revised to reflect the construction details for the weir and the
intake.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that consideration of the preliminary LSNRD plan for
Southway Park be deferred but that upon resolution of the deficiencies and
discrepancies listed below, the plans be approved.

DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES
1. A letter outlining a tentative time schedule for development should be
submitted by the applicant.
2. Evidence of ownership of the entire portion of Lot 3 of Auditor's Plat
32 should be provided by the aplicant.
3. The development site plan should show Building "C" as an "existing"
building.
4. The height of the proposed structures must be indicated on the devel-
opment site plan.
5. The accurate capacity of each of the off-street parking areas should
be shown on both sheets of the preliminary LSNRD plan.
6. If the existing parking area is used until additional parking spaces
are required, an interim parking plan should be shown.
7. The designs of the parking areas should be revised to allow for appro-
priate aisle widths for each parking space.
8. The location and dimensions of existing and proposed off-street load-
ing spaces should be shown on the plan.
9. The size of the tree in the middle parking island, planter in the
parking area east of Building "A" should be changed from large to
small.
10. The applicant and the City must enter into a stormwater management
agreement.
11. The stormwater plan should be revised to reflect the construction
details of the weir and the intake.
12. The City and the applicant must arrive at a mutually acceptable alter-
native to the water main easement granted to the City on October 1,
1979.
13. The general notes accompanying Sheet 1 of 2 of the preliminary LSNRD
plan should be amended as follows;
a. Reference to zone classification M-1 in Notes 1 and 3 should be
amended to read I-1.
b. Note 8 should be revised to reflect that no sanitary sewer service
will be provided to Building "G".
c. Reference in Note 12 to a blanket utility easement should be
amended.
T
5
d. Reference in Note 13 to the minimum surface treatment for the
dust -free surfaces on the site must be revised to reflect that the
surfaces will be constructed of asphalt, concrete or a similar
permanent dust -free surface.
14. Reference to Note 3 in the "Parking Lot Typical Cross Section" should
be changed to Note 13.
15. The title block of Sheet 1 of 2 should be relabeled "Southway Park
Preliminary LSNRD Plan" and the title block of Sheet 2 o 2 should be
renamed "Southway Park Preliminary LSNRD Plan - Parking Lot, Tree
Planting and Stormwater Plan."

FRINGE AREA POLICY AGREEMENT BETWEEN
JOHNSON COUNTY, IOWA AND IOWA CITY, IOWA - AMENDMENT I
This agreement is entered into pursuant to Chapter 28E of the Code of Iowa
by and between Johnson County, Iowa, a municipal corporation, and the City
of Iowa City, Iowa, a municipal corporation, to wit:
WHEREAS, the County and the City adopted an agreement in December, 1983,
to guide the development of land within the two-mile extraterritorial
jurisdiction of Iowa City; and
WHEREAS, that agreement provided for the periodic review and amendment of
the agreement; and
WHEREAS, the City and the County have mutually agreed that development
pressures in Area 4 require reconsideration and amendment of the develop-
ment policy for all of part of Area 4; and
WHEREAS, agreement has been reached on an amendment to address development
in part of Area 4 along Rapid Creek Road.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, do agree for themselves and their
respective successors to the following amended policy for Area 4:
AREA 4
Policy
A limited amount of residential development on the properties with
direct frontage or access on Rapid Creek Road will be permitted. On
other property within Area 4 with access out to Highway 1 and access
to gravel surface roads, residential development should be discour-
aged, and encouraged to take place in Area 3 and other parts of the
County zoned for residential development: Agricultural use is the
preferred use on these other properties; residential uses for farm
family purposes will be considered depending on soil and site condi-
tions.
Residential growth along Rapid Creek Road will be guided by perform-
ance standards designed to:
1. Keep County road maintenance costs and other services at an ac-
ceptable level;
2. Preserve the rural character of the area;
3. Conserve prime agricultural land for farm use;
4. Minimize conflict between residential development and existing
farm uses; and
�I
-2-
5. Allow for the protection of environmentally sensitive areas, such
as steep slopes, wetlands and forested areas.
Actual development of individual sites along Rapid Creek Road will be
accomplished by matching these standards to the specific land charac-
teristics, including road access safety, steep slopes, floodplains,
woodlands, existing agricultural uses and prime farmland. County
service level limitations, primarily road service capacity, should
provide an overall basis for setting the density standards in the
area.
Along Rapid Creek Road large lots will not be required. Where the
tracts of land being considered for subdivision are large enough, the
performance standards could be facilitated through the clustering of
smaller building lots. Clustering is a development design technique
that concentrates buildings in specific areas on the site to allow the
remaining land to be used for recreation, common open space, conserva-
tion of prime ag land and preservation of environmentally sensitive
areas. The common open space created through the clustering process
could be secured through the use of restrictive covenants obtained as
a part of a conditional zoning process.
Implementation:
I. Implementation of this policy for development along Rapid Creek Road
will require amendment of the County Zoning Ordinance. This amendment
could be accomplished by adding a new section on planned residential
development, which incorporates the use of performance standards, site e
plan review and elements of conditional zoning, or by use of overlay
provisions.
2. Th- density for development of lots having frontage on or access to
Rapid Creek Road should be one dwelling unit per three acres.
r
3. All zoning requests will be reviewed for conformance with the policies
established for Area 4.
4. Development of existing zoning within Area 4 will be required to i
comply with County and City Rural Design standards. ;
5. No annexation of this area is anticipated in the next three year
review period.
This amendment to the agreement shall be filed with the Secretary of the
State of Iowa, and with the Johnson County Recorder in compliance with
Chapter 28E, Code of Iowa.

MEMORANDUM
Date: October 3, 1986
To: City Council
From: Karin Frankli
Re: Fringe. Area Policy Agreement
The Johnson County/Iowa City Fringe Committee met September 30 to discuss
the development policy for Area 4 of the two-mile extraterritorial juris-
diction of Iowa City. The Committee concurred on a revised policy for
that portion of Area 4' along Rapid Creek Road. The proposed policy and
amendment to the Fringe Agreement is attached. The policy permits limited
residential development at a density of one dwelling unit/three acres on
those properties fronting on or with access to Rapid Creek Road. Criteria
for development decisions are also included. This policy statement does
not change the policy for the remainder of Area 4. The language of the
existing agreement, discouraging residential development and designating
agriculture as the preferred use, is included for all properties without
access to Rapid Creek Road.
The Council is being asked to consider the resolution approving the agree-
ment on Tuesday evening. At Monday's informal session, time has been
allocated to discuss and reach a position on the appropriate development
policy for the remainder of Area 4 (primarily north of the Rapid Creek
Road properties). The Fringe Committee will then reconvene to reach con-
sensus on a policy for the remainder of Area 4. The Board velopment representatives
at the Committee meeting expressed a desire to treat dein the
remainder of Area 4 on a case-by-case basis. Mr. Sehr advocated treating
this area in the same manner as other properties in the County and permit-
ting residential development at a density of one dwelling unit/acre. Some
questions you may wish to consider before our discussion Monday evening
are:
1. What costs, direct or hidden are there to Iowa City as a governmental
entity or to the taxpayers of the City and the County? Is the loss of
taxes to development in the County a concern? How significant are the
costs of services such as fire protection, police/sheriff protection,
road maintenance, school busing?
2. If agriculture is not a viable use, to what extent is residential
development acceptable? Farmstead splits (which are permitted under
the present policy)? One lot subdivisions? Large subdivisions at
one dwelling unit/acre or one dwelling unit/three acres?
3. If residential development is encouraged by a change in policy, should
there be standards for judging the appropriateness of different types
and locations of development? Or, should the development be reviewed
on a case-by-case basis?
/63 7
F
The following policy options are offered to the Council for consideration:
a) Retain the existing policy.
b) Retain the existing policy with modified language lessening
the imperative of agricultural use.
c) Adopt a new policy permitting limited residential development
with standards for approval.
d) Open up the remainder of Area 4 to residential development at
a density of one dwelling unit/acre with no criteria for
I
approval.

PROPOSED IOWA CITY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING NEEDS
INTRODUCTION
The Housing and Urban -Rural Recovery Act of 1983 (Public Law 98-181) requires
communities receiving Community Development Block Grant (COBG) Entitlement
funds to prepare a three-year community development plan. Pursuant to Section
104(b)(4) of the Act, this plan must identify community development objectives
that have been developed in accordance with the primary objective of the Hous-
ing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended.
Since Congress has authorized CDBG funds through FY1986 and hopefully will
continue to authorize funds,for this program, the Iowa City Committee on Commu-
.nity, Needs ,(CCN) -has prepared a community development plan for. the calendar
years 1987, 1988,and 1989. This plan, provides a brief profile, of Iowa City,
identifies community development and housing needs, particularly -in relation to
lower income persons, and details long-term;objectives to meet these,needs.
The Committee on Community Needs will; translate, the long-term :objectives into
short-term objectives at a later time when it makes 'specific recommendations to
the City Council on the allocation of CDBG funds for 1987, 1988 and 1989.

IOWA CITY COMMUNITY PROFILE*
An Overview
Iowa City, home of the second and third capitals of the territory of Iowa and
the first capital of the State of Iowa, was named before its location had ever
been determined. On January 21, 1839, Governor Robert Lucas signed a bill to
locate the permanent seat of government of the territory at the most suitable
point within the limits of Johnson County. This site was to be called Iowa
City. By October of the same year, the site was selected, a town survey was
completed, the first city map was drafted, and 209 lots within the community
were sold.
In December, 1846, Iowa became a State and Iowa City, thus, became the first
capital of the State of Iowa. In February, 1847, the First General Assembly of
the new state designated Iowa City as the location for the State University of
Iowa. As the migration of the 1850s moved Iowa's center of population west-
ward, however, the seat of government, in January,1855, was moved from Iowa
City to Des Moines. At the same time, the "Old Capitol" and ten acres of land
were given to the newly founded University of Iowa. Thus, the shaping force
of Iowa City shifted from" its original purpose as a political capital to that
of an educational and cultural center for the State.
The community revolves around its two largest "industries" - the University of
Iowa and the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics. Iowa City's population is
partially composed of University students who enrolled at a record rate of over
29,650 during the 1985-1986 academic year.
If the University is the source of Iowa City's prosperity, it also accounts
indirectly for some of the City's problems. The startling growth of enrollment
during the 1960s put a strain on the City's housing supply; at one time, rental
vacancies were practically unheard of. Today, the rental vacancy rate still
remains relatively low, particularly close'to campus. High demand by students
for housing is coupled with their limited incomes. The result is overcrowding
and a large amount of "wear and tear" on these units. Many landlords who can
almost always find renters seem to have little incentive to maintain their
properties at a high level.
Since the University is tax exempt, Iowa City collects no property taxes from
its largest "industry." The City, however, is compensated by the University
for some services such as fire protection. In spite of this, there are other
costs imposed on the City by the University and its students for which the City
is not remunerated. As a result, the property tax burden falls heavily upon
the owners of residential property. Nevertheless, the University of Iowa
remains a major stabilizing force for the Iowa City economy.
This section has presented an overview of the development of Iowa City. The
following sections describe the City's population characteristics, income and
employment characteristics, housing conditions, and the general condition of
public facilities.
gures quo e n s section are from a Census o Popu a on and
*AllHousing, unless no
otherwise.
Population Characteristics
The 1980 Census of Population and Housing reveals that the population of Iowa
City in 1980 was 50,508. The 1984 population estimate for Iowa City, as re-
ported by the Office of the State Demographer, is 50,984. This represents
approximately a 9% increase over the 1970 population. This growth rate is
modest in comparison to the growth experienced by the City between 1960 and
1970 when the population increased by 40.1%. The growth in the 1960s is at-
tributed to expansion at the University of Iowa when its enrollment doubled.
The enrollment at the University has continued to rise. According to the Uni-
versity's records, from 1971 to 1985 the number of students has increased from
20,387 to 29,650. This is a 45.4% increase in a 14 year period. Although the
enrollment at the University is beginning to decline, the University of Iowa
remains a major economic force in the City.
As expected, the young adult population within the community is very large.
Over 59% of all persons within Iowa City are between 15-34 years of age. On
the other hand, only 6.6% of local residents are aged 64 and older. This is
considerably less than the 13.3% elderly individuals in the State as a whole.
Consistent with State-wide population patterns, the minority population of Iowa
City is small. In 1980, only 2.0% of the State's population was non-white;
5.6% of the Iowa City population was non-white. The Asian and Pacific Islander
group comprises approximately 41.1% of the local minority population while
35.0% of the minority population is black. University enrollment data for
1985-1986 reveal that, approximately 5% of the 29,650 students are minorities.
Income and Employment Characteristics
In 1979 dollars, the median family income in Iowa City is $22,325. This com-
pares with a State-wide median family income figure of $20,062. Of 9,875 Iowa
City families, 622 families or 6.3%, have incomes below poverty level. Of
these 622 families, 184 (30%) are headed by a woman, with no spouse present,
and 45 (7%) are headed by an individual 65 years of age or older.
Although the median family income for Iowa City compares favorably with the
State-wide figure, many Iowa City households are composed of unrelated indi-
viduals living together. A comparison of median household income for Iowa City
and the State reveals a $16,809 figure for the State and only $14,417 for Iowa
City. This median household income figure is 14% below the State-wide amount.
The 1980 Census indicates that within the State, 10.1% of persons for whom
poverty status was determined had incomes in 1979 below the poverty level. The
Iowa City figure of 19.7% approaches almost twice the State-wide figure. While
the percentage of Iowa City persons with incomes below poverty increased from
14.2% in 1970 to 19.7% in 1980, the percentage of persons with incomes below
poverty decreased in the State as a whole from 13.7% to 10.1% between 1970 and
1980.
The increase in the percentage of persons with incomes below the poverty level
experienced by Iowa City between 1970 and 1980 may be a result of increased
university enrollment. According to records in the Office of the Registrar at
the University of Iowa, while the number of dormitory roans available for
University students remained constant between 1970 and 1980 (students living in
dormitories are not included in poverty level studies), student enrollment
increased from 10,604 in 1970 to 25,100 in 1980. As a result, many of these
students relied upon housing available in the private market, which may account
for the increase in the percentage of persons with incomes below the poverty
level.
The 1980 Census recorded 28,233 persons, 16 years and older, in the local labor
force. Women constitute 49.1%, or 13,864, of this total.
The public sector is the major employer within the community. Currently, the
State of Iowa employs about 11,265 people through the University of Iowa and
University Hospitals & Clinics. The 1982 Census of Governments reports that
another 2,556 persons are employed by different federal agencies and local
governments. locally, 13,501 workers are identified as government employees
within the 1980 Census. Manufacturing represents only 6.1% of the total employ-
ment
m toment within the City. A large number of service industries are also present in
Iowa City to meet the needs of residents of the community.
In spite of the recession that affected the State of Iowa the past few years,
information from Job Services of Iowa indicates that the percentage of unem-
ployed workers in Iowa City has remained low. Within the City there has been a
gradual increase in unemployment from 1.7% in 1960, to 2.8% in 1970, to 3.5% in
1980. - However, data for Johnson County, as a whole, reveal a decline in unem-
ployment. The 3.2% unemployment rate recorded by the 1980 Census for Johnson
County 1.9%, andsbeen between dJanuary andsince
March,380. The 986, the Johnsonnnual County5
was
ty unemploymene rate for t
increased to 2.2%.
Housing Conditions
The 1980 Census counted 19,232 year-round housing units in Iowa City. Between
January, 1981 and April, 1986, 805 permits were issued for construction of new
residential structures which included 5I1 single family dwellings, 121 du-
plexes and 1920 multi -family units for a total of 2,673 new housing units.
The increasing demands for residential living units created by the increased
enrollment at the University of Iowa have caused a continually expanding hous-
ing market. In 1982 the Iowa City Rental Housing Survey showed that the vacancy
rate for rental housing was about 1.6%. The 1986 Rental Housing Survey showed
a higher rate of 5.7%. A continued low vacancy rate has contributed to higher
housing costs in Iowa City than in other cities in Iowa. The results of the
1986 Rental Housing Survey reflect the effect of the surge of apartment con-
struction between 1982 and 1984 on rental rates.
Using HUD standards of 1.01 or more persons per room for overcrowding, the 1980
Census for Iowa City reveals that approximately 2%, or 366, of the housing
units were overcrowded. About 4.1%, or 787 year-round housing units lacked
complete plumbing for exclusive use of each unit.
A random sampling survey, conducted by City staff in 1980, found that 13% of
the units surveyed were substandard but suitable for rehabilitation, 0.2% were
dilapidated, and approximately 87% were in sound condition.
I
I
Most deteriorated housing is scattered throughout the City's older neighbor-
hoods. These neighborhoods, located close to the central business district and
the University of Iowa, are desirable locations for University students. A
strong demand for housing in these neighborhoods has caused overcrowding of
rental units, the conversion of single family homes to rental units, and the
construction of apartment buildings next to single family structures. These
pressures have caused some deterioration of the housing stock. However, these
negative influences have been off -set to some extent by the City's housing code
enforcement program, by the appeal of historic structures in older neighbor-
hoods for single family use, and by the attraction of newly constructed apart-
ment complexes within walking distance of the University.
Condition of Public Facilities
In general, the condition of the City's infrastructure, or public facilities,
is good., Streets are well maintained and there is a continual effort to im-
prove public works services provided by the City.,Within some Neighborhood
Improvement Areas, however; attention must be directeto upgradingstorm sewer
systems, providing additional street lighting, repairing sidewalks and provid-
ing curb ramps. In addition, more parks and open spaces are needed within the
neighborhoods. The sanitary sewer system serving the community must also be
expanded and improved. Planning for this expansion and improvement is now
underway.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING NEEDS
In order to identify the perceived community development and housing needs in
the Iowa City area, the Committee on Community Needs (CCN) requested input from
citizens in the community. Letters were sent to the Iowa City City Council,
Iowa City boards, commissions and organizations; a large advertisement in the
newspaper and short radio announcements were also used to inform citizens about
the preparation of a community development and housing plan which was intended
to address the primary objective of the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) program. This primary objective is the "development of viable urban
communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and
expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moder-
ate -income."
The community development

and individual citizens.

As indicated in the community profile, the presence of the University; of Iowa
and the large hospital complexes has for years created housing problens.in Iowa
City. In particular the demand for housing negatively affects the elderly, new
households and families, many of whom are competing with students for the same
housing close to campus, downtown and the main centers of employment. Although
the Iowa City building boon between 1982 and 1984 has alleviated housing
problems, many of the new units are too expensive or poorly located for lower
income persons.
There is the need to provide housing opportunities for lower income persons,
especially families and new households. Again, there is a need for low-cost
rental and owner -occupied housing, and assistance in obtaining such housing in
locations which are accessible to schools, jobs, shopping areas and on or near
transit lines.
There is a growing need forhousing opportunities for special populations
Shortages in suitable housing have been identified for people who 1 have long-
term mental disabilities, as well as those who 2) require physically accessi-
ble, barrier -free residences. In particular:
- Iowa City has many people who would benefit from a boarding-house atmos-
phere providing companionship and a degree of security (i.e., shared meals
and a communal living room), but who would not need personal care or formal
supervision. A boarding-house setting could also provide housing opportu-
nities for substance abusers who are recovering.
- There is a need for affordable housing which can conveniently accommodate
people who use wheelchairs, but who require minimal or no supervision.
Existing "handicapped" housing, as well as being in short supply, is often
inadequate for people who have physical disabilities, despite recent ad-
vances in accessibility design.
As the population ages, there is an increasing need to provide different types
of housing for the elderly. There is a demand for low-cost housing for the
elderly on fixed incomes which will permit them to live independently for as
long as possible. Some of the elderly have a desire to live with other persons
of the same age, others prefer to be among mixed age groups. Many elderly need
help with minor chore services and housing counseling and assistance with fi-
nancing their housing.
Continuing housing needs are theaand maintenance of the housing
stock. In some cases, lower income homeowners as weT I as elderly and disabled
Ter—sons need assistance in maintaining their homes. In rehabilitating and
maintaining older homes, consideration must also be given to preservation of
historic structures and energy conservation measures which will reduce heating
costs.
NEIGHBORHOOD NEEDS
During the past nine years, the CDBG program has concentrated on revitalizing a
number of older, lower income neighborhoods in Iowa City. Some of these still
require assistance and some additional needy areas have been identified. All
the older, lower income neighborhoods would benefit from neighborhood beauti-
fication and curb ramps.'
1. Iowa Avenue Neighborhood, This neighborhood encompasses ten square
blocks, with Ralston Creek running through much of the area. The land is
predominantly multi -family residential, with several structures in need of
some repair. Problems in this area center on the need to rehabilitate
deteriorated structures, particularly rental property. Four of.the struc-
tures are currently being rehabilitated. Removal of dilapidated struc-
tures in the Ralston Creek floodway and creek cleanup are also needed.
2. Miller/Orchard Street Neighborhood. This older, primarily residential
neigh orhood west of the Iowa River; has a population of predominantly
low- and moderate -income persons including both renters and homeowners.
Deterioration of the housing stock and of public facilities such as
streets and sidewalks is evident in the area. The priority request from
neighborhood residents is still a park. Other neighborhood needs include
housing rehabilitation, storm drainage improvements, construction of a
culvert on Benton Street and new and improved sidewalks.
3. Muscatine Avenue Nei hborhood. The area of Muscatine Avenue between Iowa
Avenue and
n Bur niton Street has been identified as needing sidewalk
repairs and housing rehabilitation.
4. Creekside Neighborhood. Problems in the Creekside neighborhood have
centered on flooding due to poor stormwater drainage, inadequate sanitary
sewers, and Ralston Creek which winds its way through the whole area. Much
of the housing stock is old and deteriorating and some parts of the neigh-
borhood are without storm sewers. While some improvements have been
carried out in this area over the past three years, creek cleanup and
housing rehabilitation continues.
5, Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood. Over the past seven years, intensive
efforts in this area have resulted in the widening of Ralston Creek so
that its banks will contain the 100 year flood. The area is now zoned
mainly for intensive commercial use. While creek improvements in this
area are complete, a need for rental rehabilitation and sidewalks still
exists. Parcels remaining from widening the creek need to be disposed of
and the land put to commercial use.
COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS
Architectural barriers remain not only in housing but in public buildings, such
as the Iowa City Civic Center. Continued effort in the removal of architectur-
al barriers in public buildings is needed.
In the past, cleanup of the Iowa River banks has been carried out by Mayor's
Youth and Independent Living employees. Continued cleanup is needed. Suitable
edestrian access to the west river bank below the Burlington Street dam is
a so nee e , since rnis is a very popu ar fishing spot.
Cleanup of the Ralston Creek is a continuing need. Trash and debris contribute
to flooding of the creek in certain areas and create unsightly and unsanitary
conditions.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Several objectives in the broad area of economic development are identified in
the adopted Iowa City Comprehensive Pian and are appropriate for inclusion in
this document. These objectives are: 1) expand the industrial and commercial
tax base :in order to decrease the tax burden on resiclential proper y, par cu-
a1My to low- and moderate -income residents; 2) work to balance employment
oortunities from over -dependence on the retail/service sec or o a more
UW—ers7fe-a industrial employment sector; and 3) increase the number of �o�bs,
including part-time. These objectives can be ach ev y os er n—i 9 of g owth
and expansion of existing industry and new industry which have growth potential
and which would utilize the frequently underemployed local labor force.
OTHER NEEDS
A number of other needs have been identified by the Iowa City community, which
are not readily addressed through the Community Development BlockGrant pro-
gram. Other needs of elderly and disabled persons include job development and
training peer counseling and a volunteer training program.
The South Van Buren/South Johnson Street Neighborhood (from Burlington Street
to the CRI&P railroad rac s as changed ran a largely single-family area to
a dense multi -family dominated neighborhood. Many of the remaining older houses
are in poor repair, and there is a great need for some open space in this area.
The dense, largely student population is also exacerbating the overcrowding
condition at the Iowa City Recreation Center, and more recreational space is
needed.
The land use of the area west of Gilbert Street and south of Burlington Street
is becoming increasingly high density residential as some of the area is now
zoned for high rise and dense multi -family use. Consequently, there is a need
for open space in this neighborhood.
In addition, the committee wishes to identify the following five needs.
1. Sanitary Sewer System. For the past five years CDBG neighborhood activi-
ties have focused on the Creekside neighborhood. This neighborhood, in
the location of the Rundell Street "horseshoe sewer," has for many years
suffered from an inadequate sanitary sewer system, exacerbated by develop-
ment on the City's east side. This problem is only part of the overall
problem of the water pollution control system which needs to be upgraded.
Expansion and upgrading of the sanitary system has begun and is a high
priority goal of the City Council.
2. Street Lighting. In some areas of Iowa City the installation of more
sFreeF igr would make the streets safer and more comfortable for pedes-
trians and bicyclists after dark. The Rape Victim Advocacy Program has
identified additional areas where lights are needed; this plan may serve
as a guide for future action.
3. Northside Residential Historical District. Approximately 25 individual
blocks located e ween Davenpor Sreet and Kimball Road are currently
being evaluated for nomination on the National 'Register 'of Historic
Places. There is a needto 'rejuvenate the district by preserving and
rehabilitating historic structures, reviewing local ordinances governing
parking within the neighborhood, and monitoring demolition, renovation and
construction activities.
4. Trans ortation. With the decrease in federal revenue sharing and finan-
cial support from the State, Iowa City's transit system is in financial
difficulty. A low -fare high ridership transit system is important for
all citizens. It decreases congestion and parking problems as well as
wear and tear on the streets. Additionally, increased ridership saves
energy. There is a need to encourage mass transit ridership and at a
minimum keep current the level of service.
5, Child :Care:' There is a growing number of low -moderate income, single
parents with young children who are in need of„good quality and affordable
child care. Employer and government` sponsored child-care facilities have
been proven to decrease absenteeism and increase productivity. Provision
of childcare is important to Iowa City's economic development and is an
indicator of the City's commitment to human rights 'and `to the health and
safety of the children and work parents. -
Various ways of meeting these housing and community development' needs are
addressed in the section of the plan titled "Long Term Objectives to Meet
Community Development and Housing Needs.”
LONG TERM OBJECTIVES TO MEET COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING NEEDS
This section discusses general objectives to meet the identified community
development and housing needs in Iowa City. These objectives address the need
to preserve and upgrade the City's housing stock, provide for barrier -free
housing, improve neighborhood conditions, provide affordable housing for lower
income persons of all ages, promote energy conservation and historic preserva-
tion, assist low- and moderate -income households and elderly and disabled
persons, and expand economic opportunities for lower income persons.
Many of the long-term objectives in this plan will be translated into short-
term objectives (specific projects) in the annual 1987, 1988 and 1989 CDBG
programs.
LONG-TERM OBJECTIVES FOR HOUSING
.It is the.goal of Iowa City to protect the health, safety and welfare of its
citizens.. One of the most important ways of achieving this goal is to ensure
that decent, safe, and sanitary housing exists which will adequately meet the
needs of City residents, particularly those of low- and moderate income.
Three areas of ]ow -cost housing need are identified as being of highest prior-
ity in Iowa City:
- Housing for new households and families.
- Housing for people with disabilities.
-. Housing for elderly people.
For all three target groups, the continuing long -tern objectives are:
To support a program of owner -occupied and rental housing rehabilitation
which includes energy saving measures, accessibility improvements, and, where
appropriate, a sensitivity to preserving and restoring the historical and
architectural character of older homes. These measures are to be carried out
in the City's "403" Revitalization Area (see attached map).
- To encourage the development of lower cost housing through flexible develop-
ment standards, innovative design, provision of development incentives and
appropriate public subsidies.
Long-term objectives to address specific housing needs of the target groups
are:
Housing for Low -Moderate Income New Households and Families
1. To encourage the development of affordable apartments and houses.
2. To support the expansion of housing cooperatives.
Housing for People with Disabilities
1. To support the development of low-cost housinqu with barrier free units
for mentally and physically disa a persons rer ng m n ma supero -
sion.
10
2. To support the development of group or cooperative living arrangements
resembling a family situation fur mentally and physica y iso per-
sons.
Housing for the Elderly
1. To support a shared housing program which offers the option of pairing:
(a) a well -elderly homeowner with a non -elderly roomer,
(b) a well -elderly homeowner with another elderly person or persons, or
(c) an elderly homeowner with a person with physical and mental disabili-
ties.
2. To encourage the option of mixed age housing in:
(a) shared housing arrangements,
(b) multi -family complexes, and
(c) single family neighborhoods.
3. To encourage elderl su ort services including: chore services, home
delivered meals, an nancia counse ng for housing alternatives.
LONG-TERM OBJECTIVES FOR NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT AREAS
The City has identified five Neighborhood Improvement Areas within the commu-
nity. The long-term objectives -identified in this plan address the needs of
the low- and moderate -income households within these neighborhoods and to
preserving neighborhoods affected by blight and deterioration.
The .following long-term objectives apply to each of .the five Neighborhood
Improvement Areas and address those needs common to all the neighborhoods.
- To improve the condition of the housin stock in the neighborhoods by
strictly enforcing the C ty Hous ng Code and by providing rental and owner
occupied, rehabilitation and weatherization assistance as well as accessibil-
ity improvements.
To improve the condition of public facilities in the neighborhoods by in-
stalling sidewalks where none exist, by replacing sidewalks which are badly
cracked or broken, and by forming curb ramps at intersections where they
presently do not exist.
- To initiate mei hborhood beautification rams in an effort to improve the
aesthetics o e ne g or oo s an oro os er neighborhood identity and
pride.
- To encourage and support efforts to clean up the Ralston Creek.
A number of neighborhood needs are unique to a particular neighborhood. The
long-term objectives which follow speak to these individual needs.

MEMORANDUM
Date: October 2, 1986
To: Ciwl��
From: Don
Re: Amendment of the 28E Implementation Agreement with the JCCOG
The Board of Directors of the Johnson County Council of Governments
(JCCOG) unanimously voted to amend the implementation agreement with Iowa
City and Johnson County to eliminate the positions of Senior Planner and
Community Assistance Coordinator with the Rural Planning Division of the
JCCOG. Basically, this change is due to the lack of interest by the
smaller communities in Johnson County for planning assistance. If the
communities are in need of assistance, they can obtain support from the
East Central Iowa Council of Governments. A memorandum is attached pro-
viding further explanation of this change.
The 28E Implementation Agreement authorizes the use of City and County
staff to provide staff support to the JCCOG. For example, as Director of
the Department of Planning and Program Development, I am authorized via
the 28E Agreement to serve as Executive Director of the JCCOG staff.
Similarly, the Community Assistance Coordinator position is an Associate
Planner position with the City authorized by the 28E Agreement to provide
staff assistance.to the Johnson County Council of Governments.
The Community Assistance Coordinator position is a half-time City position
established solely for the purpose of providing assistance to the JCCOG.
Elimination of this position as a JCCOG funded position, eliminates the
need to retain the position with the City staff. City positions are
established therefore, included with thapproval e a
genda to amend hebudget andthereby elimi-
nate the half-time Associate Planner (Community Assistance Coordinator)
Position.
If you have any questions in regard to this matter prior to the Council
meeting, please do not hesitate to contact me at 356-5230.

Re: Implementation Agreement Amendments - Item 6
As you are aware, the staff positions in the Rural Planning Division have
been vacant for some time. A meeting of the Rural Policy Board was sched-
uled for August 20 to discuss the continuation of rural planning support
as a function of JCCOG; however, only three members attended, two from the
small communities. This apparent lack of interest by the small communi-
ties has resulted in members of the Board of Supervisors to question the
need for continuation of the program under the present arrangement.
If the small communities in Johnson County are in need of planning assis-
tance, then alternative to the present arrangement, each community must
either hire its own staff, contract with a planning consultant or seek
assistance from the East Central Iowa Council of Governments (ECICOG).
The cost for this planning assistance obviously will have a bearing on
which alternative is selected by the small communities.
According to Craig Sonksen, Executive Director of the ECICOG, there are
sufficient staff resources available with the ECICOG to provide assistance
to the Johnson County area. This assistance would be provided at no cost
to the communities unless major allocations of staff time are involved.
For example, if, as it was explained to me, a community were interested in
pursuing Community Development Block Grant funding, the ECICOG staff would
prepare an application for the community at no charge. However, if the
application were approved, the ECICOG staff would administer the grant, if
the community wanted it to, under a contractual arrangement with the
community for a fee. Likewise, comprehensive plans and zoning ordinances
for communities would be prepared for an agreed upon fee.
The ECICOG, like JCCOG, is organized to provide planning assistance to
member agencies. Absent the interest in financial support for a rural
planning staff for the JCCOG, it is my recommendation that member agencies
of the JCCOG needing support seek planning assistance from the ECICOG.
This arrangement for planning assistance would alleviate the need for the
current two positions in the Rural Planning Division. However, to elimi-
nate these positions would require changes in the JCCOG Implementation
Agreement with Johnson County and Iowa City.
Attached to this memorandum is the present agreement with suggested
changes for your review and consideration. The amendatory language would
eliminate the positions of a Community Assistance Coordinator and a Senior
I
2
Planner, the division head of the Rural Planning Division. The County
would make available the services of the County Planner (presently on
staff) for community assistance but only at a level of support determined
by the Board of Supervisors.
This matter is scheduled for discussion at the meeting on September 17. -
If prior to the meeting you have any questions or comments concerning this
matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at 356-5230.
