STAFF REPORT
Planning P, Zoning Commission:-
August 19,;1976
SUBJECT: Z-7611. Application submitted by Heritage
` systems to rezone a tract of land'south 'of
Benton Street across from the Seville
apartments from an R3A Zone to a PC Zone
for the development of a neighborhood convenience center; date filed:7/26/76;
45 -day limitation: 9/9/76.
STAFF According to Section 8.10.17.1C of the
ANALYSIS: Zoning Code, '!before the rezoning of any°
tract to Planned Commercial district
zoning will be -considered by the; Planning
and Zoning Commission and the City Council, the owner or owners shall submit
'(1) the economic feasibility of a planned
to the City a report concerning
commercial district at the location of their _tract, ;(2) the :effect of such
a, planned commercial district on the -surrounding property, and (3) the impact
of traffic generated by such a planned commercial district on the surrounding
streets." The following analysis is presented to, assist the, Commission in
making`s determination of the acceptability of a PC Zone at the above location
on;the.basis of the abovementioned concerns.
The concept:of,a neighborhood convenience center is perhaps, more misconstrued
in its eighborhood'or to the effect upon,a community as a
application to a n
whole than any; other type of facility. This is understandable since: there,`
are_not any commercial centers within the City which incorporate all of the
c'of a neighborhood -convenience center. The
necessary elements characteristi
Towncrest centers, the Court Street and Scott; Boulevard areas zon11 ed.C2, and:
the Mormon Trek Boulevard and Benton Street areas zoned CH or Ci with enough
land area for commercial development_comparable to a`Sycamore Mall with
probably as many: diversified uses, are not perceived to be (and probably
weren't to objectionable neighbors) as neighborhood_ convenience centers.
h
Neighborhood convenience centers should be ,likened to passive and active
neighborhood recreational areas, elementary, schools, andother facilities ,
which:provide a convenient and essential service to the neighborhood and not
to the community as a whole. Attached as a`supplement to this analysis are
excerpts from various sources setting.forth.the planning and -design, criteria
essential for the development - of neighborhood convenience centers. '.
The proposed neighborhood convenience center would -_be located in the
approximate center of a neighborhood generally described by the boundaries
Melrose Avenue on the north, Riverside :Drive 'on the cast, Highway 1 on the
south and Sunset Street on the west." The economic analysis and feasibility,
study presented with the application illustrates a'trade area encompassing::
all of the neighborhood and westerly beyond Mormon Trek -Boulevard.:'; Because
the lack of competition in West Iowa City, with the exception of the
Wardway,Plaza and the business development _in Coralville and along
Riverside Drive, the neighborhood convenience center would `be expected to
flourish. Support from this trade area will diminish, however, to,.the
-2 -
approximate area of the neighborhood itself if ',and when a shopping center
is developed at Mormon -Trek _Boulevard and Benton Street. 'Ihe.obvious .
concern to the developer and equally so of the City is whether there:
ultimately will --be,enough support, from within the neighborhood to sustain
the neighborhood convenience center.;
According to an unpublished study by the staff; the estimated holding
capacity or population at saturation within the neighborhood will.be
approximately 6,000 people. _ According to design criteria, a' -shopping
"center of the magnitude proposed should be supported by a population of
from 1,000 to 2,000 persons. Thus,.it would seem, there will be more -
than adequate support augmented by the high density of residential
development` within the immediate vicinity.
Located adjacent to the tract are apartment complexes to the west, across
the street to the north, and combined with offices to the east and
undeveloped land to the south. It would be difficult ;to find -a better
location for a.shopping,facility which would supply the essential day-to-
day items required by the residents in the immediate area. As a convenience
to the residents, the neighborhood convenience center would,_ provide `an
amenity acceptable to ;apartment living.' And contingentupon develop-
ment of the neighborhood convenience center and the construction or
installation of appropriate' materials to buffer the adverse effects upon
: adjacent residential uses, there would appear to be no deleterious effect
upon adjoining property.
The staff would agree with the marketing consultant's comments relative to
the traffic volume on.Benton Street (see page seven of the market study).
Theoretically, if the neighborhood convenience center consists of stores
which cater only -•to-the -neighborhood,'then it can be assumed that residents
will not be travelling via Benton Street to destinations beyond the'neigh-
borhood for essential items, and many will find it more convenient to walk
' to the center. Basic tothisassumption,. in part, is the 'development of
the shopping center at Benton Street and Mormon Trek Boulevard. `Otherwise,
residents beyond the neighborhood to the west who frequentthebusinesses
in Coralville, might find it more convenient to shop -at the proposed con-
venience center.— Nevertheless, it does not appear that the "traffic volume.-
' would increase appreciably.
While the tract would appear to be a most desirable location for a neigh-
borhoodreonvenience center, there is: one major constraint. "Best locations
will normally.be found on major streets and preferably at or near the
intersection' of- main :or- secondary -thoroughfares" .. --s0 it. --says in the
attached literature on the design criteria.for neighborhood convenience
centers. That's arguable considering the hazards of traffic -movements
near a: major intersection and the exposure of'a shopping center to possible
residential development at the other,three_corners of the' intersection.
But, there is one advantage --pedestrians en route to the center can
safely cross a street at the intersection.
_ Here, it seems, is again the old nemesis of a heavily, traveled street which
bisects:the neighborhood making it difficult to traverse from one part of
the neighborhood.to the other. For this reason, the staff would propose
as a policy that every attempt; be made to deemphasize Benton --Street `as a
major arterial street. This can be accomplished byseveral methods:
1. By encouraging the use of other east -west thoroughfares such as:
Highway l and Melrose Avenue. This :would entail;: the extention'of
Sunset Street southward to Highway 1, the construction of an east -
west collector street from Mormon Trek Boulevard to Sunset Street
north of the City's South corporate line,, the widening.of Melrose -_
Avenue to accommodate four -full lanes of traffic, signalization
to facilitate better access onto and movement along Melrose Avenue
and Highway 1 and by the avoidance of direct travel''patterns'to
Benton Street in future developments.
2. By terminating Benton Street at Mormon Trek-Boulevard.and establishing
Rohret Road as a -major arterial street.
3. By impeding the flow of traffic on Benton Street to make it less
convenient for cross-town travel.
4. By prohibiting any further high density residential development:
along Benton Street. - -
A reduction in the volume of traffic on Benton Street would certainly not
eliminate the constraint above indicated but it might,' at least,.be ameliorated
to a tolerable level. Regardless, the.City must weigh the acceptability"of:the
proposed' neighborhood convenience center in view of this constraint. If found
acceptable, a solution might be the installation of a'pedestrian cross fight
at a location to facilitate crossing Banton Street to the neighborhood convenience
center and also to Roosevelt School'. -
STAFF According to Section 8.10.17.1D of the
RECOMMENDATION: Zoning Code,'"land zoned Planned -Commercial
Zone shall `be'laid out.and developed'asla
unit according to a plane conforming to
requirements of the Large Scale Non -Residential Development Ordinance". While
the rezoning of a tract to a PC Zone is not predicated upon the approval of:
- an LSNRD plan, it is the staff's recommendation that the 'subject application`
be approved simultaneously with the approval of the preliminary LSNRD plan '
submitted (see S-7622)`.`

DECIDUOUS SOLAR SCREEN
The placement of a deciduous tree, solar screen depends

REDUCE UNEVEN HEATING AND COOLING LOADS
Trees reduce excessively high daytime temperatures in
their surroundings by evaporating water. Trees absorb
solar radiation at a very fast rate,
tduring
his nthe

and
release heat much more slowly. In
moderate extreme swings between daytime highs and night-
time lows, which reduces uneven heating and cooling
loads. The evaporation effects of trees are greatly
increased by having many large trees nearby.

EXTRA INSULATION
Evergreen trees and large shrubs can be used for extra
insulation to reduce summer cooling and winter heating
loads. Conifers trap dead air between themselves and
the structure, thus reducing the tendency of the
structures to lose heat in the winter or gain heat in the
summer. Similarly, deciduous shrubs can be placed on
the south side of structures for summer insulation.
Conifers used for insulation purposes should be planted
close to the structure and close together.

WINTER WINDBREAK
Wind control by trees can be used either for decreasing
the effect of cold winter winds, or for increasing and
directing summer breezes. A conifer (evergreen) wind-
break can be used to decrease the wind speed downwind
by eighty percent for a distance twice the height of the
trees in the windbreak. Using this ratio for the place-
ment of a winter windbreak, and by knowing the direction
Of cold winter winds (usually from the west, northwest,
and north); a winter wind screen can be effectively
located.

Pull a breeze back through the structure (as in A).
If the shrubs are placed on the other side of the
trees, the basic wind flow will be channelized and

Trees control temperature by reflecting solar radiation,

energy by reducing the solar heat gain of structures,
thus reducing or eliminating the cooling load.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 1, 1976
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
RE: Development Adjacent to Scott Boulevard
Several weeks ago
dethe City Council discussed the influence which further
velopment adjacent to Scott Boulevard will have upon sewer capacity on
the east side. Since that time, the City Manager and the staff have reviewed
sewer capacities and previous agreements.
Enclosed is a report on this matter. This report represents the concensus
of the Public Works Department, Community Development Department and the City
Manager's office. The agenda of October 5 includes a public hearing concern-
ing the rezoning of three parcels of land adjacent to Scott Boulevard.

Sewer Criteria Relat
of Scott Blvd.
Don Schmeiser, Senior
DATE: September 24, 1976
ve.lopment in the Vicinity
The question being addressed is that of sanitary sewer capacity for the
area adjacent to Scott Blvd, and how that capacity relates to zoning
and further development. There is a lengthy history to the question,
and that background information will be addressed first for the entire
drainage area.
In 1963, the City received a report on the sanitary sewerage system
as compiled by Veenstra and Kimm, Constulant.s. In that report, various
service areas were depicted and a course of action proposed to serve
them. One such area (encompassing the area in question) .is a 1600
acre tract of land generally east of 1st Avenue, north of American
Legion Road, and south of Rochester Avenue (see figure attached).
The trunk line, called the southeast trunk sewer, was designed for
a loading condition of eight (8) people per acre. It is with this
assumption that problems arise. In fact, the majority of the tributary
area within the City limits is presently zoned RIB, which would allow
development to proceed at a rate approaching, 20 people per acre. The
trend however, based on an average using the three subdivisions of
Washington Park Part IX, Oakwoods Part VI, and Oakwoods Part VII, is
approximately 14 peop'Le per acre. I believe it is fair to state that
the area to date has developed at this rate, and that the trend would
probably continue at 'least at this rate if more area were annexed and
developed east of Scott Blvd.
Presently, the entire 1600 acre drainage area has been developed to
approximately 30% or 480 acres (see figure attached). At this point
it is necessary to interject a judgement factor--i.e., the amount of
sewage generated per person. Our design standards dictate this to be
350 gallons per capita per day (gcd) for any sewer line serving single
family homes. Depending on which text or individual consulted, there
is a wide variety of opinions stating that this assumption may be
conservative for application to a trunk sewer. The primary discrepancy
being how much infiltration to consider. On the eve of a multimillion
dollar improvement to our sewerage treatment facilities to eliminate
problems arising from infiltration, I would be extremely hesitant to
lower this figure. Therefore, using 14 people per acre and 350 gcd
applied to the presently developed 480 acres results in a sewage load

of 2.31 million gallons per day (MGD). The southeast trunk sewer was,
designed to receive 4.5 MGD from the entire 1600 acre tract. The net
result is that, to date, 30% of the drainage area uses approximately
51% of the available sewer capacity. Although there are other opinions
that would speculate on these percentages being exact, I believe it
is fair to assume that the area has developed at a rate that
the sewer capacity. No particular problems exceeds
exist at present, due to
this development rate, but at some point in time it is necessary that
the City take one of two approaches. Either A) Allow development to
proceed at its present rate and recognize that not all of the potential
service area can be incorporated into the City and developed, or B) develop
would at a density rate compatible with the remaining sewage capacity, which

The immediate question at hand is that area adjacent. to Scott Blvd.,

Portion of the property. It is my understanding that approximately
20 acres of the Glasgow property is zoned R3A. Under consideration is
a rezoning of approximately one additional acre to R3A. From the above
discission concerning sewage capacity, the effect of a high density
area would appear to be self evident. R3A zoning has the potential,
if not the Irobability, of being developed to 43.5 units per acre. The
planning division has done research on the subject of the number of
people per dwelling unit. Whereas the preceding discussion was based
on single family development using 3.96 people per unit, apartments.
have been found to house 1.99 people per unit. Although no development
has occurred with a density this high, R3A has a potential density of
87 people per gross acre. Experience has shown that sewage generated
per capita in apartment units is less than that of single family homes
(287 gcd as compared to 350 gcd by Iowa City Standards

its maximum, 9 acres of the total 1600 acre tributary area must be deleted.
Even supposing my assumptions are in error by a factor of two
the implications are still clear. , I believe
The question of providing sanitary service to the Scott Blvd. area also
has a history behind it. At present the southeast trunk nearly extends
to Scott Blvd, at the south branch of Ralston Creek (see figure attached).
Due to the rugged terrain between the creek and Court Street, it.has long
been recognized the cost of servicing the area north of Court Street
would be high without first extending the trunk sewer east. There is
however, a sewer ending at Scott Blvd., tributary to the trunk line, just
south of Court Street that has a limited capacity remaining. This existing
sewer serves the neighborhood adjacent to Friendship Street, Shamrock Dr,,
and the Arbor Drive area. The critical section of the sewer is at the

Therefore, my recommendations as to the parameters of an agreement
to facilitate this scheme would be:
1. Allow the construction of a sewer in Scott Blvd. to be
connected to the existing Friendship St. sewer, but at
an elevation such that it could be eventually dis-
connected and re-routed to an extension of the trunk line;

6. The account need not bear interest to the City but rather
to the developer;
7. Install target dates such as - when engineering pians of the
sewer are to be presented for the City to review, etc.,
which if defaulted would also release the money to the
City for implementation of the plan; and
Establish a tapping fee after construction of the trunk
sewer extension to reimburse the developer for other than
his pro -rata share of the cost.
In summary, the City will find it necessary to decide on a plan of
action based on the availability of sewer in the area. Either a limited
growth policy must be adopted and allow development to occur as desired
or take an expansion attitude and limit the density of development to allow
as much of the remainder of the 1600 acres to become incorporated into
the City as possible. I would prefer the development to come after
extension of proper sewer service. However, if this method proves un-
desirable, an agreement to allow development ill steps could be worked
out with the City not participating in development costs.
