e. Consider an ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance of the
Code of Ordinances of Iowa City, Iowa, excepting a balcony/deck
from yard regulations. (first consideration)
Comment: The Planning and Zoning Commission, at a regular
meeting held June 18, 1981, recommended by a 6-0 vote to
approve the subject amendment. This recommendation is
consistent with the staff's recommendtaion. Approval of
this ordinance would provide a definition for balcony/deck
in the Zoning Ordinance and except the balcony/deck from the
required yard regulations. Since decks have become increasingly
popular and since they do not obstruct the flow of air or
light to a significant degree, the staff recommends approval
of the subject amendment. A copy of the ordinance was
included in the Council's packet of June 29, 1981.

Comment: The Planning and Zoning Commission, at a regular

of the subject amendment. This recommendation is consistent
with the staff's recommendation. Approval of this ordinance
would allow facia signs to be located on mansard roofs by
redefining the angle of the front wall of the building from
60 degrees to 45 degrees. There are a number of signs in
the Iowa City area which are presently non -conforming and
this ordinance would make them conforming upon its passage.
