From: Bruce A. Knight, Planner/
Re: Z-8216. Amended Rezoning Application Requesting Rezoning from
RIA to RIB for certain property south of Rochester and west of
Amhurst
At their September 23, 1982 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission
reviewed a rezoning application from Robert Lumpa, requesting rezoning of
a 1.40 acre tract from RIA to R2. Due to opposition expressed at that
meeting, the applicant has submitted an amendment to that application,
requesting RIB zoning. This amendment ameliorates the concerns which had
been expressed by staff in the staff report regarding the original
request. Specifically, an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan will not be
required to rezone this property from R1A to RIB and since the zoning of
the adjacent property to the south is also RIB the requested change will
not result in negative impacts upon the property to the south.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The staff recommends that rezoning of this property from R1A to RIB be
approved.

STAFF REPORT
To: Planning & Zoning Commission Prepared by: Bruce Knight
Item: Z-8216. Date: September 23, 1982
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: Robert Lumpa
Rural Route 5
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Requested action: Rezoning from R1A to R2
Purpose: To permit construction of duplex units
on the property in question.
Location: Southwest quadrant of the intersection
of Rochester Avenue and Amhurst Street.
Size: 1.40 acres
Comprehensive plan:
Existing land use and zoning:
Surrounding land use and zoning:
2-8 dwelling units per acre
Undeveloped and RIA
North - Undeveloped and RIA
East - Undeveloped and RIA
South - Single-family residential
and RIB
West - Undeveloped (farm buildings)
and RIA
45 -day limitation period: 10/14/82
Physical characteristics: The topography is relatively flat.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting a rezoning of a 1.40 acre tract from RIA to R2. The
property is currently undeveloped and lies directly to the north of existing
single-family residential development in an RIB zone. The applicant contends
that because the property is bordered on three sides by city streets, each of
which requires a 30 foot frontage in an RIA zone, a higher density zoning is
necessary to permit a profitable development. They have proposed a development
with five lots, which would permit ten units or just over seven dwelling units
per acre (DUA) under R2 zoning. However, based on the minimum requirements of
the R2 zone, a density of 14 DUA is theoretically possible, although a density
of approximately 9 DUA is more probable. This density is greater than the 2-8
DUA recommendation made by the Comprehensive Plan and would require an amendment
to the plan unless the applicant can guaranty that the development density will
be less than 8 DUA.

The Comprehensive Plan states that the "land use density of 2-8 dwelling units
per acre includes traditional detached single-family dwellings and garden
homes." Staff believes that the intent of the plan was for single-family
residential development to occur in the 2-8 DUA density category. If it could
be guaranteed that the proposed development would remain below the upward limit
of eight DUA, it would be possible to conclude that the applicant was meeting
the "letter" of the plan's intent. However, no limitation of the number of lots
is possible, other than the limits imposed by the requirements of the R2 zone.
In this case, those limits would permit the development of more than the five
lots proposed, and it is, therefore, difficult to find this request within the
"spirit" of the plan's intent. It is the staff's finding that an amendment of
the plan is necessary to permit this rezoning.
It should be noted that density recommendations made by the current
Comprehensive Plan are undergoing review as part of the Comprehensive Plan
Update process. It is conceivable that the update may change the density
recommendation for this area. If that is the case, consideration could be given
to rezoning this property at that time.
Another concern regarding the proposed rezoning is what impact it would have on
the single-family residential development to the south. Zoning is a tool which
is intended to protect private property from devaluation due to incompatible
land uses. In this case, one single-family residential unit is located adjacent
to the property in question, across Lower West Branch Road. Separation by this
street right-of-way will act to minimize any negative impacts which might be
created by differing densities. However, it will not reduce any impacts caused
by the different character of development. This can only be accomplished
through good site planning and buffering. Unfortunately, a two acre minimum
site area is required for a PAD under the current zoning ordinance. The
proposed new zoning ordinance reduces this requirement to one acre and may
provide a suitable alternative to rezoning this property to R2 with no site plan
review. Instead, a rezoning could be made concurrent with the approval of a PAD
plan. This alternative will not be available until the proposed new zoning
ordinance is adopted.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The staff recommends that the rezoning of this property to R2 be denied.

MEMORANDUM
Date: November a 1982
To: City Council
From: Pat Keller, Associate Planner
Re: Historic Preservation Ordinance
The Historic Preservation Ordinance (HPO) has undergone initial review by City
Council. Two revisions have been made by the Council to the HPO. These
revisions serve to further specify the intent of the ordinance. The first
change involves the wording of Section II. Definitions, J. Regulated Permit,
which now reads as follows:
J. Regulated Permit. A permit issued by the Building Official, or
other official of the City of Iowa City, according to the
provisions of the 1) Building Code, 2) Sign Regulations, 3) House
Movers Ordinance, or 4) Fire Code.
The second change includes: SECTION VII. APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATE OF
APPROPRIATENESS.
A. After adoption of the Historic Preservation Ordinance no individual or
corporation shall undertake a change in appearance of a building or site
within a designated historic district for which a regulatedep rmit is
required, nor shall' the Building Official issue a regulated permit for a
change in appearance of a building or site, unless a Certificate of
Appropriateness has been granted by the Historic Preservation Commission.
The imposition of any additional improvements requiring a Certificate of .
Appropriateness shall require the approval of the City Council and the
prior recommendation of the Commission and the State Division of Historic.
Preservation.
Because the HPO has been altered, another public hearing will be held to review
the ordinance. The public hearing is set for November, 1982. Included below is
a list of dates that pertain to the Historic Preservation Ordinance.
November 9 - public hearing
November 23 - first consideration
December 7 - second consideration
December 21 - final consideration and vote for passage and adoption

From: Karin Franklin, Planner.
Re: College Hill Rezoning
In response to the Council's request at the meeting November 1, a map
showing the non -conforming uses which would exist under the Planning and
Zoning Commission's recommendation (10/14/82) has been drawn up. A
distinction is made on the map between those properties which would become
non -conforming under the proposal and those which are currently non-
conforming under R3A zoning.
Information explaining the relationship between the densities shown on
the map given the Council on November 1 (attached) and sororities in the
area was also requested. The densities shown reflect the total number of
dwelling units on a block per acre; this includes single-family dwellings,
multi -family dwelling units, and rooming units. A sorority/fraternity is
currently governed as a rooming house containing a number of -rooming
units. The number of rooming units does not necessarily reflect the
number of people living in a rooming house. For instance, the Alpha Phi
house on the corner of. College Street and Governor has 14 rooming units
according to City records and approximately 52 residents. This equals
roughly three to four people per unit, a density of population comparable
to a two- or three-bedroom multi -family unit. Under the RNC -20 zoning,
the Alpha Phi property could potentially develop to a 17 unit multi -family
structure if yards, parking, and other requirements of the zone could be
met. In this example, the difference between the sorority house density
and a multi -family structure density does not appear to be significant and
the number of units involved in each type of use are, therefore, treated
as equals.
