This award is for the City's comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007. The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management. This is the 23rd consecutive year that the award has been given to the City of Iowa City Finance Department, which prepares the annual financial report. This award reflects highly upon the entire City organization. I would like to take this opportunity to single out the efforts of certain individuals closely involved in the production of this report, including staff of the Finance Administration and Accounting Divisions. My thanks go to Robin Marshall, Controller; Sara Sproule, Assistant Controller; Nick Schaul, Internal Auditor; and Chris Hurlbert, Payroll Accountant. Copies of the CAFR are available for viewing in the Finance Department, City Hall; the Iowa City Public Library; and online at www.icgov.org/cafr.

The City completed a traffic evaluation and determined that these streets qualify for the program based on the 85~'-percentile speed of traffic exceeding 5 mph over the posted speed limit of 25 mph. The next step in the traffic calming process is to have a neighborhood meeting to discuss possible traffic calming measures. The purpose of the meeting is to develop a neighborhood consensus on a preferred traffic calming measure. Examples of traffic calming in the area include the speed humps on Momingside Drive and the traffic circles on College Street and Washington Street near Summit Street. If a consensus can be reached, we will then conduct a survey of residences that would be impacted to determine the level of support for the installation of the traffic calming measure. The intent of the Cites Traffic Calming program is to install traffic calming features only if that is the desire of the neighborhood. ,_, .~ Please consider attending the meeting on: ti _. ~ """ Wednesday, November 12"', 2008 - 7:30 p.m. -- City High -Classroom 1114 1900 Momingside Drive --- i ~~ ~= c", I expect the meeting to last no more than one hour.

The primary objective of the City of Iowa City's investment activities is the preservation of capital and the protection of investment principal. The City's investment portfolio remains sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet operating requirements that cash management procedures anticipate. In investing public funds, the City's cash management portfolio is designed with the objective of regularly exceeding the average return on the six month U.S. Treasury Bill. The Treasury Bill is considered a benchmark for riskless investment transactions and therefore comprises a minimum standard for the portfolio's rate of return. The rolling average return on the six-month U.S. Treasury Bill for the prior 365 days was 2.39% at 9/30/08. The investment program seeks to achieve returns above this threshold, consistent with risk limitations and prudent investment principles. The rate of return on the City's entire portfolio for the quarter was 3.19% which is 80 basis points higher than the threshold. Investments purchased by the City of Iowa City for the first quarter of this fiscal year had an average return of 3.08%. Rates on new investment purchases in our operating cash portfolio for the fourth quarter were approximately 223 basis points lower than investments purchased at this time last year. The federal funds rate is the interest rate at which banks lend to each other. The Federal Reserve left the rate unchanged at 2.00%. Inflation has been high, spurred by the earlier increases in the prices of energy and some other commodities. The Committee expects inflation to moderate later this year and next year, but the inflation outlook remains highly uncertain. The quarterly investment report lists investments by fund, by institution, by maturity date, and investments purchased and redeemed. New official state interest rates setting the minimum that may be paid by Iowa depositories on public funds in the 180 to 364 day range during this quarter were 1.90% in July, 1.90% in August, and 1.90% in September 2008. -_ m cv L H t O Cfl ~•+ V 3 y-- .~ V ~_ U = ca ~ ~ H o ~ o ~ 0 ~_ ~ Ul cl~ T 1 ~~ ~ o c o0 ~o ~ ~ ~ o U ~ ~ O Q ~ ~ O C ti ~ O ~ ~ O U ~ Q O Q ~ ~ O C ~ ~ O 0 ~ ~ 0 N ~ uan~aa

APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM THE SEPTEMBER 11 AND OCTOBER 1, 2008 MEETINGS: Farris asked if anyone had any comments or questions regarding the minutes as submitted. Hartwig suggested that on page 4, paragraph f, 2008 pavement rehab, that this be given a heading to be the same as the agenda item. He also added that he was glad Deb Mansfield took the time to come and talk to them. Hartwig moved to accept the September 11 minutes, as amended, and the October 1 minutes as submitted; seconded by Horan. Carried 3-0. (Rettig and Staley absent.) Staley arrived late. He asked that Diane Lamb's title be changed to Nurse Manager. Horan moved to reconsider the earlier motion to amend the September 11, 2008 minutes to reflect Staley's comments; seconded by Hartwig. Carried 4-0. (Rettig absent.) PUBLIC DISCUSSION: None. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION/ACTION: a. Aviation Commerce Park -Peggy Slaughter addressed the group, stating that she is working on a possible 5-acre deal with a group. She further explained where this project is currently, and added that her only concern is the area around lot 10 and a possible 2-acres being landlocked. Slaughter continued to express her concerns and responded to Members' concerns, as well. b. Dane/Carson Land Sale Request -Members briefly discussed this item. It was noted that the FAA was agreeable with the Commission using the previous appraisal on this land. Tharp stated that this is at the edge of the safety zone. He continued, noting that the FAA will most likely stipulate that the funds will need to go to offset an upcoming grant. Hartwig asked what the options would be for these funds, adding that he would like to know this. Tharp suggested they approach the FAA and ask them their opinion. Dulek agreed, stating that they would want to get the FAA's approval before taking this offer to the City. Members agreed that they would like to get the FAA's approval on this first, so they can get some idea of what they will be able to do with the sale revenue. Farris asked Tharp if he had any specific ideas for this revenue, and Tharp gave a few examples of projects they could address. c. University of Iowa Aircare Facility -Staley noted for the record that he would recuse himself from this item. Horan noted that the subcommittee met on this recently, and that David Hughes with Earth Tech is reviewing the information that they came up with. Horan continued, explaining the plans that they reviewed for this facility. Hartwig added that they have a meeting set up for later in the week to further discuss this with representatives of the University. Tharp stated that the FAA has to review flight patterns and other details on this project. Hartwig added that they hope to have more information soon. d. Airport Safety -Traffic Pattern Operations -Hartwig noted that it is very important that they get this information out to people who use the Airport, in order to get a wide range of input on this possible change. He added that he has heard both "for" and "against" on this idea from the people he has talked to. Farris noted that Tharp has scheduled a public hearing on this for November 13. The Members continued to discuss how they would get a pattern change communicated to those who use the Airport. It was agreed that they could add more public hearings as they progress through this process. e. Consider a motion to adjourn to executive session to discuss strategy with counsel in matters that are presently in litigation or where litigation is imminent where its disclosure would be likely to prejudice or disadvantage the position of the governmental body in that litigation. Hartwig moved to adjourn to Executive Session; seconded by Staley. Carried 4-0. (Rettig absent.) £ FAA/IDOT Projects -David Hughes stated that Earth Tech is now AECOM. i. Runway 7/25 -Hughes stated that they have done punch lists and are winding down on this project. Still lacking are markings on the reconstructed portion, and general cleanup. The lighting, as of this afternoon, was all in place according to Hughes. He stated that 2 they still plan to open on the 20th. Hughes added that they are planning some type of ribbon cutting ceremony for this. ii. South Aviation Development Study -Hughes stated that they met with the City Manager and others recently for this meeting. They did receive some minor requests on the study and he briefly explained what those might encompass. Hughes added that they received some comments from the FAA on a grass landing strip, and he suggested the subcommittee meet on this. Farris stated that they would need to reform such a subcommittee, and he asked for anyone interested in reviewing this study. Hughes added that they would need to do this soon, as they need to return comments to the FAA. iii. South Taxilane Rehab -Hughes stated that the contractor received materials last week, but that they have held him off until the tenants could be notified. It should take about a week to complete this work. iv. 2008 Pavement Rehab (North Taxilanes) -The IDOT funding was received, according to Hughes. All of the existing pavement has been removed, and grading should begin next week, right on schedule, according to Hughes. Hartwig asked if this is going to connect the pathway from Building D, and Hughes responded it would. v. Jet A Fuel System / AvGas Upgrade -Hughes said they now have a draft version of the instruction manual and hope to close this project soon. vi. Obstruction Mitigation -Hughes stated that the contractor has picked up speed on the hangar removal. He is hoping that this will be in line with the runway opening. MidAmerican has also picked up speed on their part of the project. Hartwig asked about the fencing in this area, and Hughes stated that most of this is already done. vii. Building H -Farris stated that they hope to rebid this after the first of the year, but that there is no new information right now. viii. Corporate Hangar L -Farris stated that this is more of a budget issue at this point. g. Airport "Operations"; Strategic Plan-Implementation; Budget; Management - Farris began the discussion, noting the corporate hangar project that they had been discussing. He briefly covered the budgetary issues related to this, stating that they are hoping to meet with the City Manager and Kevin O'Malley from Finance on this. Hartwig asked what the timeframe is from the State on this, and it was noted that they need to have it under contract by July. Farris then stated that Rettig had asked him to bring up the overtime pay that showed up on the budget/expense reports this time around. Farris then noted that Jerry will be retiring the end of November and Members briefly discussed this situation. Hartwig added that this could be an opportunity to 3 redefine this job and look at the duties involved with it. The discussion continued, with Members looking at how they may want to proceed with this. h. Engineering Consultant Selection -Tharp stated that they have had some pretty good feedback, and that proposals are due on the 23rd. He will let Members know what they come up with. He added that there has been some concern about the interview process, and Members briefly discussed this. Farris added that the City's engineer, Sarah, will sit in on these interviews, as well. Dulek responded to Members' concerns regarding this process. FBO Staff Report -JetAir asked about getting a copy of the minutes, and Dulek noted that the minutes are on the City's web site. Timmons gave the Committee a quick update, noting that the pilot who recently crashed at the Airport had to have facial surgery due to his injuries. Preliminary results show that the elevation change may have played a part in this. Staley asked if traffic is still up during home games at the University, and Timmons stated that it's mostly smaller airplanes coming in. He added that he is looking forward to the new runway being opened. Hartwig added that they will be looking at having aribbon-cutting ceremony of some sort and that they will let JetAir know what they plan. Subcommittees' Reports -Farris spoke about the viewing area progress, stating that they hope to get some concrete work done yet this season. k. Commission Members' Reports -Hartwig thanked Deb Mansfield from the City for meeting with them recently. He also noted that Jay's son is profiled in the flight training this month. Horan stated that he had a good flight yesterday, and that runway 7-25 looks good from the air. Farris stated that JetAir did a good job coordinating things when the recent accident occurred. Staff Report -Tharp also thanked JetAir for their help during the recent accident, adding that none of these accidents have been facility related, but have been anomalies.

HARVAT HALL MEMBERS PRESENT: Ann Freerks, Josh Busard, Charlie Eastham, Elizabeth Koppes, Tim Weitzel, Michelle Payne MEMBERS EXCUSED: Wally Plahutnik STAFF PRESENT: Karen Howard, Bob Miklo, Christina Kuecker, Sarah Greenwood- Hektoen OTHERS PRESENT: None RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL: The Commission voted 6-0 to approve amending the Zoning Code, Title 14, to establish a minimum parking requirement for Household Living Uses in the Central Business (CB-10) zone; to apply the Near Southside Parking Facility District regulations to any new CB-10 developments in the Near Southside Neighborhood; and to amend the definition of "household" in the Community Commercial (CC-2), Central Business Service (CB-2), Central Business Support (CB-5) and Central Business (CB-10) zones to include not more than three unrelated persons. CALL TO ORDER: The meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Chairperson Ann Freerks. PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA: There was none. ZONING CODE ITEM: Discussion of amendments to the Zoning Code Article 14-5A, Off-Street Parking and Loading Standards, to include minimum parking requirements for Household Living Uses in the Central Business (CB-10) zone, and Article 14-9A, Definitions, to amend the definition of a household in the Community Commercial (CC-2), Central Business Service (CB-2), Central Business Support (CB-5) and Central Business (CB-10) zones to include not more than three unrelated persons. Howard stated that as was discussed at the informal meeting on Monday, October 13'h, this zoning code item is largely an effort to begin the process of looking at the standards in the Central Business District. Howard said that during several zoning cases over the last few years, there has been a lot of discussion about whether the standards for the Central Business District are keeping up with the goals for that area. One of the concerns that has come up numerous times is the question of whether there is a good mix of residential development in the downtown to support the kind of commercial area desired for the center of the city. Howard said that in those discussions there appears to be a consensus that there is a desire to maintain the historic pedestrian-friendly, storefront commercial character of the downtown. Howard said that while residential uses in the downtown help to support businesses, the proximity of the University to the area creates a high demand for housing for students and an incentive to maximize residential density and occupancy and minimize commercial space within new buildings. There is a question whether this tendency to create token commercial space is conducive to healthy downtown business growth over the Planning and Zoning Commission October 16, 2008 -Formal Page 2 long term. Howard said that while there seems to be general agreement that a good mix of residential housing is best for the downtown, the preponderance of recent building requests have been for four and five bedroom apartments downtown, which are the maximum size allowed in the zoning code, which are designed primarily for student renters. To bring better balance of housing choices to the downtown and promote healthier living environments and attractive options for those wishing to make downtown their permanent residence, Staff recommends limiting the number of unrelated persons living in an apartment to three (down from its current five). This, Howard said, would likely result in development of more one, two and three bedroom apartments, which would be suitable for a wider variety of residents. An important aspect of these discussions is that the central business zones are intended for commercial development, and that there is a danger of having buildings with residential living as its primary function, and merely token commercial on the first floors. Howard said that it is important to keep a balance between commercial and residential in the city's commercial areas. Howard reiterated that the proposal is to reduce unrelated occupancy from five to three in the CB-5, CB- 2, CB-10 and CC-2 zones. A related proposal is to require parking for new apartment buildings downtown. Howard said that there has been concern that large apartment buildings downtown with no parking are not attractive to the long- term residents that the City is trying to attract to the area. A minimum amount of parking provided would serve to encourage long-term residents and alleviate concerns about on-street parking congestion that arise as more and more requests for high-density developments are made. Howard summarized that the proposal before the Commission seeks to establish a parking requirement in the CB-10 zone for residential parking at the same rate as is required in the CB-5 zone. Howard shared a spreadsheet with the Commission that showed the apartment balance of buildings built in the downtown area over the last ten years. Howard also noted some slight language changes that had been made to the code for the purposes of better clarification. One change amends the purpose statement for the Central Business zone to be more consistent with the nature of the current discussions. Howard said that Staff also needed to make the parking requirements in the Near Southside Parking Facility District consistent with the CB-5 and the CB-10. Staff wanted to avoid having a discrepancy between CB-5 projects and CB-10 projects for any requests received for new CB-10 rezoning in the Near Southside in the future. With this change parking requirements for any future requests for rezoning to CB-10 in the Near Southside will be consistent with what has been done for other recent projects. Howard noted that this does not change or extend the parking impact fees to the whole downtown area; this is just to make it consistent in the Near Southside. If there is a desire to extend the parking impact fee to other areas of the downtown, there would need to be a more in depth examination of the policy implications and how this would be implemented. That is beyond the scope of what is proposed here. Howard asked if there were any questions from the Commission. Busard asked for more information on Hieronymus Square and its history. Miklo pointed out on the map where Hieronymus Square is located in the CB-10 zone south of Burlington Street. Miklo said that this was rezoned in 2007 from CB-5 to CB-10. Miklo said the project is a mixed use project with commercial on up to the first three floors, with residential above that. The proposed building would be twelve stories with 80 parking spaces below grade. During the rezoning process there was quite a bit of discussion about whether it was appropriate to extend the CB-10 zone south of Burlington Street. One of the concerns, Miklo said, was the types of apartments that would be built there and the number of bedrooms they would have. A Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA) was created requiring that there be no more than three bedrooms per apartment and that there be a mix in which no more than 30% of the units could be three-bedrooms with the rest of the units being one and two-bedrooms. Parking was also required based on the CB-5 standards, as was payment of a parking impact fee for anything that was not provided on-site. Busard said he was just wondering why it was repeatedly referred to. Payne asked if it was correct that the Hieronymus Square project was the first CB-10 south of Burlington Street, and Miklo said that this was correct. Howard said that two other requests for CB-10 developments were received after that. One of the requests was for development on the next property east of Hieronymus along Burlington Street. That request was ultimately withdrawn, although the same discussions occurred. The Big Ten Rentals project was the other request received, and also led to extended discussions about keeping a Planning and Zoning Commission October 16, 2008 -Formal Page 3 balance and a mix of residential apartments in the downtown commercial zones. Eastham asked if the request for the other building on Burlington had actually been withdrawn or if it was on hold. Miklo said that it was on hold. Eastham asked if it could still be acted upon without coming back to the Commission. Miklo said that it could. Eastham asked if the changes being discussed would apply to both parcels if the changes were adopted by Council and Miklo said that they would. Koppes asked why there is still a parking requirement listed in the code for 4 and 5-bedroom apartments. Howard explained that the wording in question was left in because there would continue to be a large number of four and five bedroom apartments downtown that are grandfathered in. The wording would address parking requirements for those non-conforming buildings. Koppes asked what the notification procedure would be for affected properties. Miklo said that when changes to the zoning code are made, individual property owners are not generally notified. In this case, Miklo said, a notice has been printed in the newspaper, the agenda for the meeting has been published, and there has been some contact with newspaper reporters, which may or may not result in an article about the subject before it goes to City Council. Koppes asked if the Homebuilders Association had been contacted. Miklo said that the Homebuilders Association has requested and receives all agendas for the Planning and Zoning Commission. Eastham asked if the Downtown Association would have received an agenda and Miklo replied that he did not know if the Downtown Association was on Planning's list to receive agendas or not. Eastham asked Miklo to repeat the Staff's rationale for including the CC-2 zone in these changes. Howard said that the thinking was that it would keep the regulations for the retail commercial zones consistent. If one of the reasons for the changes downtown were that it would help to keep the commercial zones more commercial, then it stands to reason that doing the same in the CC-2 zone, which is primarily commercial, would serve the same purpose. Consistency was the primary reason. Eastham clarified that the definition of household would remain as five unrelated persons in the RM-44 and PRM zones, and four unrelated persons in the medium density multi-family zones. Howard confirmed that it would. Freerks asked if there were more questions for Staff. As there were none, the public hearing was opened. No one wished to comment and the public hearing was closed Freerks asked if there was a motion. Eastham motioned to defer the item until the next meeting. There was no second for the motion and the motion died (19:24) Weitzel moved to approve amending the Zoning Code, Title 14, to establish a minimum parking requirement for Household Living Uses in the Central Business (CB-10) zone; to apply the Near Southside Parking Facility District regulations to any new CB-10 developments in the Near Southside Neighborhood; and to amend the definition of "household" in the Community Commercial (CC-2), Central Business Service (CB-2), Central Business Support (CB-5) and Central Business (CB-10) zones to include not more than three unrelated persons. Koppes seconded. Freerks invited discussion from the Commission. Busard asked how the grandfather clause would be applied to those projects that had already applied for rezoning but are on hold. Miklo said that such projects would not fall under this ordinance. He said they become vested once they have invested in actually implementing the project. Howard noted that there is one project located in the CB-5 Zone, which contains 4- and 5-bedroom apartments that is in the pipeline for which there has already been asite-plan review. So as not to affect its application, for which there has Planning and Zoning Commission October 16, 2008 -Formal Page 4 been considerable investment in site and building design work, the August 25, 2008, date has been selected as the effective date of the change. This effectively grandfathers in any project that is already in the works. Freerks noted that such an accommodation is typical in these types of code changes. Koppes asked for clarification on what a "Group Household" is. Howard said that they include various types of group homes for which definitions are established by the State of Iowa. Eastham said that the proposed changes to the occupancy requirements are consistent in a broad way with the Comprehensive Plan and the Central District Plan. He said that in general he supports both of the proposed changes. However, he said that he does have some reservations because the Commission has not heard any comments at all from builders or developers. He said that he assumed that such discussions would take place at the Council level. He said that this lack of input is why he made the motion to defer; to provide for adequate opportunity for the Commission to hear from all sides. Eastham stated that he thinks the change in occupancy is a good step toward trying to increase the amount of housing downtown that is open to everyone. He said he is not quite convinced that the changes will be sufficient in and of themselves to achieve that end, but he does believe they are good steps to take. Freerks said that she intended to support the changes. She said that she is surprised that no one was present to give public comment. She said that the changes have been talked about in the community for many years. Freerks said the measures would support the pure nature and intent of the Central Business Zones as commercial, which would be better than the direction in which the city seemed to be going. Freerks said the changes will offer a variety of living experiences for a greater variety of people. She said it is definitely a step in the right direction to support a very strong commercial district. She said she believes the parking requirements go hand in hand with the goal of attracting a more diverse population to downtown living. Busard said he thought the parking requirements and occupancy reduction would force developers to actually come up with projects that will be good for business downtown. He said it would curb the drive to have buildings where all of the money is made from the four and five bedroom units above and the commercial on the first floor is a mere token. Payne asked if it was possible that developers build the buildings in the way that they do because it is the only way that it is economically feasible to do it. Freerks said she did not think that was the case, and if it was, she would not support the measure. Payne said the Commission obviously did not want to stunt the growth of the downtown. Freerks acknowledged that it might be the way to make the maximum amount of money with the smallest amount of investment, but that her decision on the direction of downtown Iowa City would not be based on that sole consideration. Payne said that the whole point is that the downtown is supposed to be business oriented; however, residents must also live there in order to support the businesses. She said she was concerned with the possibility that these changes could stunt growth. Freerks said that the Commission is just giving direction to the type of housing they want attached to the commercial buildings that are built. Payne noted that if someone wants to build five bedroom apartments they could still do so in another zone. Weitzel said there are already buildings built that have five bedroom apartments and his opinion is that this is a good option for some balance. Both the reduction in occupancy and the parking requirements will enhance the commercial opportunities as well as the variety of occupants downtown. He said he believes this is key to retaining downtown's vibrancy. What is currently happening is a trend toward dorm-style apartments and acampus-town sort of development. This trend has concerned members of both the University community and the wider community who wish to see downtown continue as more of a cultural center than just a student housing center. Eastham said that Payne raises a point of concern for him. Eastham said the Commission is in a way trying to surmise what the motive is for investors to build the kind of buildings they have been building in the downtown area. It may be, Eastham said, that the current trend is simply the least risky way to maximize profits. It also could be, Eastham said, that investors and developers see this as the only way Planning and Zoning Commission October 16, 2008 -Formal Page 5 to build downtown in an economically viable way. Eastham said that this idea seems to have been countered in recent years in that there have been successful apartment buildings downtown of much smaller bedroom size, like Plaza Towers. However, he said that he still feels like he is proceeding on inadequate data. He then rephrased to say that he would prefer that the data with which he proceeded was more extensive. Freerks invited further comments. There were none. A vote was taken and the vote carried unanimously, 6-0. CONSIDERATION OF MEETING MINUTES: SEPTEMBER 15, 2008 & SEPTMEBER 18, 2008: Busard motioned to accept the minutes. Weitzel seconded. The minutes were approved on a vote of 6-0. OTHER: • Uadate on Redevelopment and Revitalization of the Towncrest Area: Miklo said that a workshop was held in the Towncrest commercial area a couple of weeks ago. The Towncrest commercial area is located near the intersection of First Avenue and Muscatine Avenue. The most notable buildings there are probably the Hy-Vee and the Walgreen's, and then there are medical offices on the south side of Muscatine. These medical offices were the start of Towncrest and the origination of the area's name; the original developer was named Towner, and the offices were located at the crest of a hill. For a number of years, the area served as a center for medical offices. In the last ten to fifteen years, there has been some decline in the area as some medical offices have sought newer facilities in other areas of the city. Miklo said that the City has been approached by one of the primary property owners of the remaining offices about the possibility of a TIF/urban renewal designation for the area, which would provide some tax abatement to help make improvements in the area. Miklo said that the City conducted this citizen workshop as the first step in gathering input from the property owners and area residents. Miklo said that Planning proposed the idea of a TIF designation to the City Council Economic Development Committee, who said to go ahead and put together an urban renewal plan and bring it back for consideration. The area is in the Southeast District, Miklo said, and Staff sees this as perhaps a way of kicking off the Southeast District Plan process. The whole idea behind the urban renewal is to provide some tax incentives and some public investment in the area to encourage revitalization and some new private investment. The City has completed some recent improvements in the area, Miklo said, including the new bike trail from Creekside Park to Court Hill Park. Miklo stated that there are some properties in the area that need improvement. The topics that the community was asked about at the meeting were: traffic flow, visibility, aesthetics, and business mix, and then the meeting was opened for general discussion. Miklo shared some photographs of the area to show how it has changed from the 1950's to present day. Miklo said that the point of the photographs is to show that things do change, and that the City would like to plan for that change. In terms of context of the Comprehensive Plan, the area is an important area in the Southeast District Plan. The Comprehensive Plan does have some general guidance for the area in that it encourages further redevelopment beyond the Hy-Vee and Walgreen's redevelopments. The Plan also encourages economic development tools be used to improve the area. Planning and Zoning Commission October 16, 2008 -Formal Page 6 Miklo said that approximately 40 people attended the meeting. He said that business owners were well represented, with about 60% of those present being business people and the other 40% being residents from surrounding neighborhoods. Miklo said there were some lively group discussions and that participants worked in small groups to generate ideas and then reported back to the larger group. He distributed a summary of the meeting to the Commission. He said there seemed to be a real desire on the part of the people who lived and worked there to create a better sense of identity for the neighborhood. One of the comments, Miklo said, was that the Towncrest identity for the area seems to be slipping away. He said various ideas were offered by the public, including streetscape improvements and some ideas about standard architectural or signage treatments to create a sense of entry into the area. Miklo said interest was also expressed in creating mixed use buildings, with commercial on the ground floor and residential above. Attracting housing for the elderly and those in need of assisted living was also offered as a suggestion, given the medical offices and drug stores that are readily available in the area. Miklo said there were some more short-term concerns about traffic and the perception of crime in the area that people were looking to have addressed right away. Miklo said the next step will be to hire a consultant to come in and help formulate a design plan for the area based on the input given by the public. Miklo said that there would probably be another meeting or two to get public input on that plan and provide more ideas before anything comes before the Commission either as an urban renewal plan or as a component of the Southeast District Plan. Freerks asked what the variety of underlying zones for the area were. Miklo said that most of it was Community Commercial (CC-2) and Community Office (CO-1 ). Miklo said many of the offices had transitioned away from medical services, although quite a number of medical offices and services remain. The remainder of the area is residential. Miklo said the primary focus would be the commercial properties, but that residential was included because they too are affected. Eastham asked what the rationale for drawing the Towncrest area lines so that they include multi-family apartment buildings. Miklo said the rationale was that the buildings were on the market and the condition of some of the units was such that it was thought that reinvestment or redevelopment might be appropriate. Freerks asked if that would involve changing the underlying zone, and Miklo replied that it could be considered but was not necessary. Eastham asked if the residential zoning in the area is currently RS-8. Miklo said that he believed it was RS-5. Eastham asked if the consultant would include some sort of market analysis. Miklo replied that it might. Miklo said that Staff had concluded that while the plans could be developed in-house, the sense of urgency on the part of some of the property owners and businesses to get the concept plan done in a timely manner led Staff to the conclusion that it may be necessary to hire a consultant. Payne, who attended the workshop, said that she had the sense that people were excited about giving input, and that people were not negative, but happy to share their thoughts and ideas for the area. Miklo said that there were real positives for this area; this crossroads offers good location for business investment. The area has good access to schools and good solid neighborhoods. There is open space; there are parks and connections to the trail system. Some of the office buildings, however, are quite deteriorated and need some action. There were no further questions or comments on this topic. Eastham announced that on November 13, 2008, there would be a full-day workshop held out at the fairgrounds entitled "Managing Floods in the Future." ADJOURNMENT: Weitzel motioned to adjourn. Koppes seconded.

HARVAT HALL MEMBERS PRESENT: Josh Busard, Charlie Eastham, Ann Freerks, Elizabeth Koppes, Wally Plahutnik, Michelle Payne, Tim Weitzel MEMBERS EXCUSED: None STAFF PRESENT: Bob Miklo, Karen Howard, Christina Kuecker, Sarah Greenwood-Hektoen OTHERS PRESENT: None CALL TO ORDER: The meeting was called to order at 6:02 p.m. by Chairperson Ann Freerks ZONING CODE ITEM: Discussion of amendments to the Zoning Code Article 14-5A, Off-Street Parking and Loading Standards, to include minimum parking requirements for Household Living Uses in the Central Business (CB-10) zone, and Article 14-9A, Definitions, to amend the definition of household in the Community Commercial (CC-2), Central Business Service (CB-2), Central Business Support (CB-5) and Central Business (CB-10) zones to include not more than 3 unrelated persons. Howard shared maps outlining the zoning areas discussed in the amendments. The area associated with the change to the occupancy standards includes all the Central Business Zones - CB-10, CB-5, and CB-2 and the Community Commercial Zone (CC-2). The proposed new parking requirements would apply in the CB-10 Zone. Howard noted that the issue of dwellings with high numbers of unrelated occupants in the downtown has come up a number of times in recent years. The question that the community must ask itself, Howard said, is if it is appropriate to have four and five bedroom apartments downtown. Howard noted that while there is no need to incentivize the development of student apartments downtown because of high demand, there may be a need or desire to incentivize development targeting non-student populations. Howard said that part of the question is whether Iowa City wishes to have downtown Iowa City be welcoming just for college students or attractive to a wider variety of residents. Howard suggested that requiring a mix of housing through the use of zoning regulations was one possible way to encourage development that appealed to a wider audience. Most non-students wishing to live downtown want smaller units. Howard said that because the demand for student apartments is so high in areas close to the University, there is more profit in the residential portion of a building than in the commercial storefronts, so not much thought or money is put into making the ground floor attractive to commercial businesses. While we have made some recent code changes that establish minimum standards for these commercial spaces, the idea behind this proposed zoning change is to reduce the number of unrelated persons who can live together in one apartment from its present level of five to the proposed three. Another issue that needs to be addressed to level the playing field is to address parking for new residential uses. The CB-10 Zone is the only zone where there is no requirement for private off-street parking for residential uses. However, as noted with several recent rezoning requests for CB-10 Zoning, there does not seem to be enough parking downtown for the amount of housing that is being requested. The City facilities are largely intended to meet the short term parking needs of local businesses. To attract long term residents to live downtown, the demand for adequate parking needs to be addressed. If no parking is offered a building is less likely to attract long term residents. The concept behind the proposed amendment is to have new residential buildings in the CB-10 zone have the same parking requirements as buildings in the CB-5 zone. Planning and Zoning Commission October 13, 2008 -Informal Page 2 Howard noted that Greenwood-Hektoen had noticed a glitch in the proposed code language just prior to the meeting. She noted that since parking would be required, that it should not have to go through a special exception process for approval. Instead, the same standards would apply, but they would be approved administratively. Eastham asked if alternative parking arrangements made by the owner (i.e. leasing spaces from another property rather than building an underground facility) would still be required to go through the special exception process if the language changes were made. She said that in the case of a request for parking on a separate lot, the City could require them to get approval of a special exception. She said that the idea behind the change in parking requirement is in part that shorter-term renters are more willing to put up with a lack of off-street parking than long-term residents, and that if parking was provided on site for residents, it may encourage long-term residents to consider downtown as a living option. Koppes asked what would happen if the landlord sells the parking. Payne noted that in the event that parking is secured off-site a covenant is supposed to be entered into by the property owners. Howard stated that parking off-site on a separate lot is not always foolproof and carries with it its own issues. Freerks said she did not believe it would happen on a large scale. Howard noted that if buildings are located near aCity-owned parking facility, parking could be leased from the City. Eastham asked if the current language requires the builder to purchase parking permits on an alternative site. Howard said that if the building was within 600 feet of a City parking facility spaces could be leased to satisfy the parking requirement. If a neighboring building had more parking than was required they could choose to lease out or give parking to the developing property; however, a covenant would then have to be placed on that parking. Plahutnik asked if Staff had given thought to doing some kind of averaging as it pertains to units with larger numbers of bedrooms. He acknowledged that there has been much concern about unsupervised, dorm-style apartment-living downtown and its relatively transient occupants. However, he also acknowledged that there is a market for four and five bedroom units. He wondered if an averaging system that took into account a certain number of four and five bedroom units would have to be off-set by a certain number of one and two bedroom units would be appropriate. Howard said that Staff had not considered this idea as there are a lot of four and five bedroom apartments downtown already, which would, of course, be grandfathered into the new zoning requirements. Plahutnik said that this was what had tweaked his sense of fairness; that the Commission would be creating an instant monopoly for those already owning four and five bedroom apartments downtown. Freerks noted that it is possible that there will be just as great of a demand for one, two and three bedroom apartments if they were encouraged downtown. Eastham stated that the central question is whether it is possible for builders to compete with occupancy that is one household in a one, two or three bedroom apartment against occupancy with multiple rent payers. Plahutnik said that he is not against the reduction in household size, but that his sense of fairness requires him to bring the issue up. He joked that he believed the only way to get developers on board with building smaller units was to threaten to rewrite the code to say that they cannot build them. Howard said that the core issue is that these are commercial zones in which this residential development is taking place. If the only thing that is lucrative in these zones are four and five bedroom apartments, maybe it is best not to encourage rezoning to central business zoning or redevelop an existing property until there is a real, viable market for the commercial space. This would serve to have the commercial drive the development in true CB-10 types of buildings rather than the residential. Freerks said the goal should be to consider what direction the Commission wants the community to go over time; she said it is not necessarily about what is in a given space currently, but what the city wants there in the future. She noted that high-occupancy apartments on the upper floors do direct what kind of commercial is established on the lower floor. Plahutnik said his sense of fairness had been assuaged. Eastham said he thought that the issue was less one of fairness than of having a zoning code that presents economically viable options to developers. Miklo said that if a developer built three-bedroom apartments this close to campus he did not think they would sit vacant. Freerks said she believed that the issue was not just economic, but was also a question of livability, an issue frequently touched on by the Commission over the years. Off-site dormitory style living with no supervision does not provide the kind of quality living the community desires for the downtown area. Payne asked if the restriction on unrelated occupants and the drive to lower the average numbers of bedrooms per unit would tend to drive up rents. Kuecker said that she had done some general research Planning and Zoning Commission October 13, 2008 -Informal Page 3 with local rental companies and had found that (with variations due to building age) the per bedroom rents were very comparable between one-bedroom and three-bedroom units. Payne said that she wondered because her daughter's rent is $100 less per month this year in her five-bedroom unit than it was last year in her three-bedroom unit. Freerks said she believed price did vary depending on the age and location of the building. Eastham said that he had no doubt that athree-bedroom rents higher per occupant than a five-bedroom. Plahutnik said that this seemed a reasonable assumption, but that Kuecker's research had not borne the theory out. Howard noted that four unrelated occupants would still be allowed in the medium density multi-family residential zones (RM-20, RNC-20) and that five unrelated occupants would still be allowed in high- density multi-family residential (RM-44, PRM). Freerks asked if there were further questions for Staff Eastham said that he had something he did not understand about 14-4E-9, "Regulation of Nonconforming Residential Occupancy." He said that as he understood the language, if an owner loses their rental permit and then has it restored, their unrelated-occupancy would be limited to the current requirement of three or less, and would not be restored to the previously grandfathered in level of 5 unrelated persons. Eastham asked if this was a correct assessment of the language. Howard said that this was correct. Eastham asked how often this occurred. Howard said that rental permits are transferable, so even if a property is sold, the rental permit remains in effect. She said she did not believe it happens very often. Miklo said he believed that that would be more of an issue with a converted single-family house that changes hands or is converted back. He said he did not believe it would be an issue with an apartment building where an owner would keep their permits up. Eastham asked if this provision would make it more difficult to enforce the rules for rental permits, as rental inspectors may be hesitant to cite a property if the consequences have such along-lasting financial effect. Freerks said that this is not a new part of the regulation, and that this is the way it is currently. Eastham asked if losing a rental permit meant losing the occupancy. Howard said that it could. She noted, however, that what is being discussed is new, large apartment buildings. Freerks said that she could not think of one instance in the fifteen years she had been paying attention to such matters in which this was an issue. Eastham asked if there were a large number of apartment buildings in the four zones being discussed in which an owner could lose their rental permit and have their occupancy be reduced from five unrelated occupants to three. Freerks noted that this provision currently applies across the board to the whole community and is not particular to the zones discussed in this amendment. Howard explained that this clause was put in when occupancy was reduced under the new zoning code, and was written as a way of grandfathering five unrelated people as allowable in the RM-20 and the RNS-20 zones, as they had been reduced to four unrelated occupants allowed. Payne said she believed Eastham was talking less about homes that had been converted and more about large buildings with five-bedroom apartments in them, and a concern that if the rental permit should be lost on one of those buildings the consequences would be dire. Koppes pointed out that rental permits are lost one unit at a time. Eastham asked if it was true that each unit in a multi-unit building has a separate rental permit. Koppes said that she knew that this was the case with HACAP units. Freerks said this was something that could be checked on. Weitzel said that permanent financial consequences serve as a good disincentive for allowing wild behavior to go on in your units. Eastham said it could be seen both ways: 1) as a real rental regulation tool and an incentive for compliance by landlords with the rental ordinances, or 2) as a disincentive for rental inspectors to remove a rental permit because it would have such drastic economic effects. Freerks said that she believes the rental inspections department always takes its job seriously. Koppes said that the rental inspectors will do the job they are paid to do and will not worry about the "why" involved in noncompliance; she said that if one looks at the cases in which rental permits are revoked one will find that multiple warnings have always been issued. Weitzel said that even if the economic consequences were dire he felt that anyone who was affected negatively by this regulation had allowed it to happen, as they had been presented with the law and had chosen their consequences. Plahutnik said that in all of his dealings with Housing Inspection Services (HIS) it has always been his experiences that inspectors work diligently to cure the problem and in no way go out of their way to "punish" violators. Eastham said that his only other question was if the reduction in occupancy was consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as a whole and the affected district plans in specific. Howard said that in general, Planning and Zoning Commission October 13, 2008 -Informal Page 4 Planning and Zoning has received a lot of feedback in recent months regarding concerns with dorm-style apartments. She said University officials, students and neighbors all came to meetings regarding the CB- 10zone and offered concerns about the safety, lack of on-site management, and quality of life offered by dorm-style apartments. Eastham said that going from an occupancy level of five to three is a fairly sharp jump in the CC-2 zone. Miklo said that in the CC-2 zones, which tend to be away from downtown and the campus, it is rare to see a four or five bedroom apartment; in fact, Miklo said he did not know if there were any at all presently. He noted that in those areas it is much more common to see one or two bedroom units above commercial space. Miklo said he would check with the Building Department, but that he was not aware of any buildings that would be affected by this in the CC-2 zone. Howard said that in fact, planning often meets resistance from builders in these areas when suggesting that developers put residential above the commercial property. The reason that CC-2 Zone was included was to make the standard consistent for all our retail commercial zones. Freerks asked for any information Staff had on other local areas that had recently implemented similar occupancy restrictions. Kuecker said that many of the cities she contacted -Cedar Falls, Waterloo, Champagne, Urbana-have a maximum unrelated occupancy level of three or four people that is applied citywide. LaCrosse, Wisconsin, Kuecker said is similar to what Iowa City has in that it allows three unrelated people in a residential zone, four in a medium density zone, and five in a high density zone. In Ames, Kuecker said, the zoning code was changed in 2000 to allow a maximum of three unrelated people in their single-family zones and their urban core. Kuecker noted that Ames also has a higher parking requirement, mandating one and a quarter parking spaces per bedroom rather than one parking space per bedroom as is required by Iowa City. This serves as an extra disincentive to develop larger apartment buildings in the urban core and the university areas. Madison, Wisconsin, Kuecker said, has a maximum occupancy of four unrelated persons that applies citywide, except for the residential zones where a maximum of two unrelated persons are allowed. Miklo said that it tends to be college communities that have the lower occupancy thresholds, as those communities are where the market for five bedroom apartments exists. Eastham asked about the effectiveness of enforcing over-occupancy through HIS. He asked how many violations HIS cited per year for over-occupancy. Howard said that she could find this out, but that she would guess that the apartments probably are not the primary culprits in over-occupancy. She said she imagined that converted single-family homes were the primary problem, as they tended to have the extra spaces that invite over-occupancy. Koppes noted that over-occupancy is very difficult to prove or disprove. Howard said that when she had spoken with HIS regarding over-occupancy, they had told her that however many rooms were in a house was the number of people a house tended to have in it. She said typically people do not double-up in a bedroom in a house that is over-occupied, but will turn a living room or pantry into a bedroom. Freerks noted that many landlords are as concerned about over- occupancy as anyone. She said they do not want to have the additional wear and tear, utility costs and hassles associated with over-occupancy. Eastham said that in trying to provide an economic alternative to higher occupancy and higher rent-loads, reducing the number of bedrooms without effective occupancy controls accomplishes nothing. Plahutnik said that if the goal is to promote a better quality of life in these areas, reducing occupancy gives HIS an additional tool to do so. Plahutnik said that if eight people live in a house and they are quiet and their keep their lawn nice and cause no problems, then neighbors are very, very happy and no calls to HIS are made. If three people live there legally but they are noisy and they throw garbage on the lawn, the neighbors are on the phone every morning. The nuisance calls and complaints are always what drive the process, Plahutnik said. This is always aneighborhood-enforced issue, as HIS is not out knocking on doors counting toothbrushes. With enough complaints, the process of determining over-occupancy can be begun. If the house is found to be over-occupied, that is one hammer HIS has in its toolbox for the owner and the tenants. To him, Plahutnik said, this is a good tool. Eastham said his interest was in whether or not this tool was an effective way of getting to an attractive option for downtown living for non-students. Freerks said she felt the phrase "token commercial" was a pretty important one in the document, and that she believed that this was what the Commission sometimes received proposals for. Weitzel said the possibility of losing one's ability to have five-bedroom apartments rented at full capacity is an economic disincentive. Eastham asked if Weitzel felt the Planning and Zoning Commission October 13, 2008 -Informal Page 5 enforcement of the measure would be effective. Weitzel said it would be as effective as it is anywhere else; some people feel it is over-enforced and some under-enforced depending upon which side of the issue they are on. Weitzel said it has been seen to work in neighborhoods where constant complaining has resulted in property-owners selling out and better tenants moving in. Miklo said that in the case where a developer is building a unit as a three bedroom unit, it will likely be self-policing as five or six people will not wish to live in them. If five and six bedroom units are built, then at least five people will live there. Eastham noted that the amendments as written do not prevent the building of four and five bedroom apartments; they prevent occupancy, not unit-size. Howard said that the idea is that developers will be discouraged from building five bedroom units because they will be more difficult to rent out with the occupancy limits in place. Freerks said that if a building permit was requested for a five bedroom unit in a zone where only three unrelated persons are allowed, HIS would definitely keep an eye on it. Miklo said HIS would be unlikely to even issue the building permit in that situation. He said that Doug Boothroy, HIS Department Head, had explained to him long ago that when buildings are built in a way that seems to be an attempt to get around the occupancy standards (i.e. a "den" or "study room" that would likely be converted into an illegal bedroom was present in the plans) he simply would not issue a building permit for that project. Koppes asked if units destroyed by fire or natural disaster could rebuild with the grandfathered occupancy standards or of they had to be converted to the three person maximum. She was told that occupancy would be reduced to the standards in place at that point in time if the building was destroyed to more than 75% of its assessed value. Eastham said that he would like to know the number of dwellings these changes would affect, and how many would be grandfathered in. Miklo said he would try to get those numbers to the Commission. Howard noted that the effective date of 8/25/2008 was determined because it is the issuing date of the only building permit for four and five bedroom units that has not yet been completed. Eastham asked if Hieronymus Towers would not be applicable in this case because it is governed by a Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA). He was told this was correct. Payne said she had a question on page three of the staff report. Payne said she was confused by the word "developments" at the end of the sentence in the second full paragraph, as to her a "development" signified something that was being newly built. She asked if a better word choice might not be "areas," "zones," "buildings," or "properties." Staff noted the potential need for a change in wording, perhaps using the words, rental units, or something similar would make it more clear. Payne asked for clarification on the meaning of a specific sentence on page three of the staff report found in the section entitled "Parking Requirements in the CB-10 Zone." The specific sentence in question said: The absence of a parking requirement for residential uses in the CB-10 zone creates another incentive to build apartments that are designed primarily for short term renters, for whom the lack of a designated parking space is not enough of a disincentive to outweigh the benefits of living close to campus, short term work opportunities, and/or entertainment venues. Howard explained that the sentence is intended to mean that short-term renters, particularly students, tend to live downtown regardless of the inconvenience of not having a designated parking space. Such renters are willing to live downtown without a parking space because their primary reason for living downtown is to be close to campus. However, for those wishing to live downtown more permanently, the lack of a dedicated parking space would be a disincentive to purchase or rent a unit downtown. Payne said that the first and second parts of the sentence seem to her to conflict. Freerks noted that the wording in the staff report is not the language being adopted by the Commission, but is there for explanatory purposes. Eastham noted that he too had to read the sentence more than once before discerning its meaning. Freerks said that as tong as the concept itself is clear in Commissioners' minds then the wording in the staff report is not an issue. Miklo said that what Staff is trying to say is that students may be willing to live without a dedicated parking space; however, those investing in Planning and Zoning Commission October 13, 2008 -Informal Page 6 condominiums or those renting long-term will probably require dedicated parking in or near their buildings. Plahutnik noted that the key part of the sentence concerns changing the incentive to build apartments designed primarily for short-term renters. Payne asked if the goal then was to give people an incentive to build residential units downtown that are not geared toward students. Freerks said she did not necessarily agree with that assessment. She said that the goal is to build residential units downtown that appeal to a larger audience. Freerks said what is key to remember is that when five-bedroom units are built, those units are geared toward one audience. When a variety of unit sizes are built, Freerks said, the audience can vary. Payne said she somewhat disagreed with that statement as it pertained to downtown, as there was no way she would choose to live there. Eastham pointed out that there are non- student households living in the downtown area in apartments and condominiums; the waiting list for those wanting to live in the Plaza Towers has clearly demonstrated a desire for that kind of living. Freerks said that having commercial that is viable to a larger audience is also crucial to this vision of downtown, and that having buildings with five-bedroom apartments above and pizza and liquor shops below is not the vision the community wants for downtown Iowa City. Freerks said that no one wants to see all of what is currently there go away, but that it is crucial to support variety. Howard said that she understood Payne's point to be, essentially, just because the zoning is changed to encourage variety, there is no guarantee that such housing will be built. Howard said that the proposed changes will allow a wider variety and may level the playing field, but the zoning changes alone will likely not be enough to solve all the problems downtown. She reiterated her earlier statement that the market for student housing in Iowa City is not going to go away, nor does it need to be incentivized. If student housing was the only thing the city wanted, then no changes would be necessary to the zoning code for the downtown area. However, Howard said, if something other than student housing is what the city wants, then to get that, something will have to be done to level the playing field a little bit. Things like reducing the occupancy and requiring on-site parking are ways to encourage the developers who are willing to build something different. Howard said that in speaking with Mark Moen, developer of Plaza Towers, it was clear that he believed he could not have sold those condominiums if they had not had dedicated parking. Koppes noted that even the University expressed a concern for the current development trends downtown and the lack of on-site management in dorm style apartments. Freerks agreed, saying that concerns had been expressed by University officials about the development that has occurred along Gilbert Street, and the need to curb the growth of similar developments in the future. Weitzel said that the University had cited similar development patterns in other cities and warned about the regulatory nightmare such sections of town had become for other university towns. Eastham asked if a developer can currently build on-site parking in the CB-10 zone. Howard said that a special exception must be granted to do so. She noted that the Clarks were granted a special exception for underground parking when developing the Takanami building on Iowa Avenue. Freerks recalled that the developer had very much wanted parking under Takanami and that it was something that the developer had had to really work to get; she said that this is evidence that developers too understand the value of parking. Eastham said that requiring this may actually be something of a plus for residential developers because they will no longer have to get a special exception to provide on-site parking. Eastham asked if the parking impact fee ordinance would be applied in the CB-10 Zone. Howard said that this was a more complicated issue. Staff had wanted to bring a couple of fairly simple fixes that could be done right away to the table. She said that Staff believes there is still some work to be done on the CB-10 zone, but that the remaining issues are a little more complicated. Miklo said Staff will also be looking at the FAR (Floor to Area Ratio), where balconies are located, and that sort of thing, but that they had wanted to get the more serious issues handled before a wave of new buildings began. Freerks asked if there was an update on Towncrest. Miklo said that he hoped to have an overview of what was trying to be accomplished at Towncrest on Thursday night's formal meeting.
