I, Abbie Stolfus, City Clerk of the City of Iowa City, Iowa,
do hereby certify that the Ordinance attached hereto is a true and
correct copy of the Ordinance No. 77-2836 which was passed by
the City Council of Iowa City, Iowa at a regular meeting held on the
17th day of May , 1977 all as the same appears of
rec in my office and published in the Press Citizen on the
26th day of May , 1977
Dated at Iowa City, Iowa, this 19th day of April
1978
A ie Stolfus, City Clerk
8.11.02.07 Rules for Determining the Exact Location of the Flood
Plain and Floodway
The boundaries of the Flood Plain and the Floodway shall be determined
from information presented on the Flood Boundary and Floodway Map.
In the absence of other information, boundaries shall be determined
by scaling distances on the map. Where interpretation is needed as
to the exact location of the boundaries, the City Engineer shall
make the necessary interpretation. In all cases, the level of the
100 year flood shall be the governing factor in locating the district
boundary on any property. Any person contesting the location of
the district boundary shall be given a reasonable opportunity to
present the case to the Board of Adjustment.
8.11.02.08 Establishment of Flood Plain Overlav Zone (OFP) and
Iowa City hereby establishes a Flood Plain Overlay Zone (0FP) and a
Floodway Overlay Zone (OFW) whose boundaries are those of the
designated 100 year flood and the designated Floodway respectively,
as shown on the official Flood Boundary and Floodway Map. The CFP
Overlay Zone includes the OFW Overlay Zone.
8.11.02.09 Interpretation
In their interpretation and application the provisions of this
Section shall be held to be minimum requirements and shall not be
deemed a limitation or repeal of any other powers granted by State
Statutes.
8.11.02.10 Disclaimer of Liability
The degree of flood protection required by this section is considered
reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on engineering and
scientific methods of study. Larger floods may occur on rare
occasions or flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural
causes, such as ice jams or bridge openings restricted by debris.
This section does not imply that areas outside the flood hazard
districts will be free from flooding or flood damages. This Section
shall not create liability on the part of the City of Iowa City or
any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that result
from reliance on this section or any administrative decision lawfully
made thereunder.
8.11.02.11 Flood Plain Overlay Zone (OFP) Regulations
Unless modified by other parts of this Ordinance, the following
general Flood Plain District Regulations shall be in force:
A. In "AO" Zones where water depths in the 100 year flood range
between one and three feet, all new construction and substantial
improvements of non-residential and residential structures shall
have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated above the crown
of the nearest street or above the depth number behind the "Ad'
designation on the Flood Insurance Rate Map, whichever is higher.
.i,6
As an alternative for non-residentiaL structures only, the structure,
including utility and sanitary facilities, can be completely flood
proofed to the level mentioned above, whichever is higher. The
walls and basement floor shall be completely waterproofed and they
shall be built to withstand lateral and uplift water pressure.
B. In Zones Al -A30, all new construction and substantial improvements
of residential and non-residential structures shall have the lowest
floor, including basement, elevated to or above the 100 year flood
level as shown on the FIRM.
As an alternative for non-residential structures only, the structure,
including utility and sanitary facilities, can be completely flood -
proofed to the level of the 100 year flood as shown on the FIRM.
The walls and basem6nt floor shall be completely waterproofed and
they shall be built to withstand lateral and uplift water pressure.
C. When flood proofing is used for non-residential structures, a
registered professional engineer or architect shall certify that
the flood proofing methods are adequate to withstand the flood
pressures, velocities, impact and uplift forces, and other factors
caused by the 100 year flood. A record of this certification shall
be maintained on file with the building permit by the Building
Official. The elevation to which the structure is flood proofed
(based on sea level) shall be attached to the certification.
D. All new individual nubile hones, new nubile home parks, expansions
of mobile home parks, and nubile hone parks where the repair,
reconstruction or improvements of the streets, utilities and pads
equal or exceed 507o of their value before the repair, reconstruc-
tion or improvement was started, shall have stands or lots that are
elevated on compacted fill or on pilings so that the lowest floor
of the nubile home will be at or above the 100 year flood level as
shown on the FIRM and adequate surface drainage and access for a
hauler are provided. When nubile hones are put on pilings, the lot
must be large enough to have steps up to the mobile home. The
pilings must be reinforced if they are more than six feet (6') high
and they must be placed in stable soil on ten foot (101) centers or
less.
E. Individual building permits shall be required for the placement of
any nubile homes anywhere in the flood plain where water depths are
one foot (11) or greater in the 100 year flood.
F. All nubile homes placed after the effective date of these regula-
tions in the 100 year flood plain which have flooding to a depth of
one foot (1') or greater shall be anchored to resist flotation,
collapse or lateral movement by providing over -the -top and frame
ties to ground anchors. There shall be top ties at each corner
with one mid -point tie on each side of mobile hones shorter than 50
feet. Longer nubile hones shall have two ties at intermediate
points on each side.
There shall be frame ties at each corner with four (4) additional
ties on each side of mobile hones shorter than fifty feet (50').
Longer nubile homes shall have five ties on each side.
All parts of the anchoring system shall have a strength of 4800
pounds. Additions to mobile homes shall be anchored in the same
way.
G. All mobile home parks shall file an evacuation plan with the Iowa
City Police Department showing alternate vehicular access and
escape routes.
H. All land development proposals greater than 50 lots or five (5)
acres, whichever is less, shall show base flood elevation data on the
preliminary plat or plans.
I. The City of Iowa City will review all proposed development in the
flood plain to verify appropriate permits have been obtained from
the Iowa Natural Resources Council and to ensure compliance with
section 404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments
of 1972, 33 USC 1334.
J. The City of Iowa City will:
1. Require permits for all new development including structures
and other activities such as filling, paving and dredging in
the OFP, and will require building permits according to
Chapter 3 of the Uniform Building Code.
2. Review all permit applications to determine whether proposed
building sites will be reasonably safe from flooding. If a
proposed building site is in a flood -prone area, all new
construction and substantial improvements (including the
placement of prefabricated buildings and mobile homes) shall
be:
a. designed or modified and adequately anchored to prevent
flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of the structure,
b. be constructed with materials and utility equipment
resistant to flood damage, and
C. be constructed by methods and practices that minimize
flood damage.
3. Review subdivision proposals and other proposed new develop-
ment to determine whether such proposals will be reasonably
safe from flooding. If a subdivision proposal or other
proposed new development is in a flood -prone area, any such
proposals shall be reviewed to assure that:
a, all such proposals are consistent with the need to
minimize flood damage within the flood prone area,
b. all public utilities and facilities, such as sever, gas,
electrical and water systems are located and constructed
to minimize or eliminate flood damage, and
C. adequate drainage is provided to reduce exposure to flood
hazards.
4. Require within flood -prone areas:
a. new and replacement water supply systems to be designed
to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters
into the systems,
b. new and replacement sanitary sewage systems to be designed
to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters
into the systems and discharge from the systems into
flood waters, and
C. on-site waste disposal systems to be located to avoid
impairment to then or contamination from then during
flooding.
8.11.02.12 Floodway Overlay Zone (OFW) Regulations
A. The Floodway District delineates the channel of a river or other
watercourse and the adjacent land areas that must be reserved in
order to discharge the 100 -year flood without cumulatively increasing
the base flood water surface elevation more than one foot at any
point.
There shall be no encroachment of fill, new construction, substantial
improvements or any other development within the floodway that will
result in any increase in flood levels in Iowa City during the 100
year flood.
B. Permitted Uses in the Floodway Overlay Zone (OFW):
The following uses shall be permitted by right within the Floodway
Overlay Zone to the extent that they are otherwise permitted by the
Zoning Ordinance.
1. General farming, pasture, outdoor plant nurseries, horti-
culture, forestry, wildlife sanctuary, game farm and other
similar agricultural, wildlife and related uses.
2. Loading areas, parking areas and other similar uses provided
they are no closer than thirty two and eight tenths (32.8)
feet (10 meters) to the stream bank.
3. Lawns, gardens, play areas, bikeways, pedestrian pathways and
other similar uses.
4. Golf courses, tennis courts, driving ranges, archery ranges,
picnic grounds, parks, hiking or horseback riding trails, open
space and other similar private and public recreational uses.
5. Streets, overhead utility lines, creek and storm drainage
facilities, sewage or waste treatment plant outlets, water
supply intake structures and other similar public, community
or utility uses.
6. Boat docks, ramps, piers for publicly owned structures or
similar structures.
7. Dams, provided they are constructed in accordance with regulation
of the Public Works Department, the Iowa Natural Resources
Council and other Federal and State. Agencies.
8. Use permitted by Special Use Permit.
C. Uses Prohibited in the Floodway Overlay Gone
1. All fill, encroachments, new construction, any artificial
obstruction, substantial improvements of existing structures
or other development unless a Special Use Permit is obtained.
2. Any portion of a new mobile home park, any expansion to an
existing mobile home park, or any new mobile home not in a
mobile home park.
D. Uses Permitted by Special Use Permit in the Floodway Overlay Zone
(OFW)
The following uses may be permitted within a Floodway Overlay Zone
upon approval of a Special Use Permit:
1. Any use or accessory use employing a structure; however, no
structure which is designed for human habitation shall be
allowed under any conditions in the Floodway Overlay Zone.
2. Open storage of any material or equipment.
3. Parking, loading areas and other similar uses when located
less than thirty-two and eight -tenths (32.8) feet (10 meters)
from the stream bank.
4. Other uses similar in nature to those listed in items 1 through
3 above.
The base flood elevation (or flood protection elevation) is the
water level for the 100 -year flood assuming only that encroachment
on the flood plain that existed when the FIM was adopted (May 2,
1977). Additional and complete encroachment to the floodway encroach-
ment lines will cause the water level to surcharge one foot or less
above the flood protection elevation as shown in Table I of the Flood
Insurance Study. A Special Use Permit shall never cause a surcharge
to a level higher than the one foot or less described above.
Consideration of the effects of a proposed use shall be based on a
reasonable assumption that there will be an equal degree of encroach-
ment extending for a significant reach on both sides of the stream.
8.11.02.13 SPECIAL USE PERMITS
A. Uses listed in this Section as requiring a Special Use Permit may
be established only after approval of the Board of Adjustment. All
decisions of the Board of Adjustment to grant a Special Use Permit
subject to this section shall be submitted to the Iowa Natural
Resources Council for final approval.
B. Standards Relating to Special Use Permits in the Floodway Overlay
Zone (OFW)
1. Maintaining an unobstructed floodway capable of carrying the
100 year flood without surcharging water levels more than one
0
foot at any point is an integral purpose of this Section. As
such, special conditions apply to Floodway Special Use Permits
as follows:
a. Any fill proposed to be deposited in the Floodway must be
shown to have some beneficial purpose and the amount
placed shall not be greater than necessary to achieve the
purpose demonstrated on a plan submitted by the applicant.
Any fill or other materials shall be protected against
erosion by rip rap, a vegetative cover or bulkheading.
b. Structures. Under no conditions shall structures in the
floodway be designed for human habitation. Structures
shall have a low flood damage potential and shall be
constructed and located on the building site in a manner
which minimizes obstruction of the flow of floodwaters.
Whenever possible, structures shall be placed with the
longitudinal axis of the building parallel to the direction
of the floodflow and structures shall be placed approxi-
mately on the same floodflow line as other adjacent
structures. All structures shall have the lowest floor,
including basement, elevated to or above the level of the
100 year flood as shown on the FIRM or together with
attendant utility and sanitary facilities, shall be
floodproofed to or above the level of the 100 year flood
as shown on the FIRM. A registered professional engineer
or architect shall certify that the flood proofing
methods are adequate to withstand the flood pressures,
velocities, impact and uplift forces and other factors
caused by the 100 year flood.
Any structure allowed by a Special Use Permit shall be
firmly anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or a
lateral movement of the structure which may result in
damage to other structures, restrictions of bridge
openings or restrictions of narrow sections of the stream
or river.
C. The storage or processing of materials that are buoyant,
flammable, explosive or could be injurious to human,
animal, or plant life during times of flooding is pro-
hibited under all conditions; however storage of other
materials or equipment may be allowed if not subject to
major damage by floods and if firmly anchored to prevent
flotation or if readily removable from the area within
the time available after flood warning.
C. Application for Special Use Permit
Applications for Special Use Permits shall be filed with the
Board of Adjustment for review and consideration. 'Ihe applicant
shall submit to the Board of Adjustment completed forms
together with four sets of plans drawn to scale, showing the
nature, location, dimensions and elevation of the lot, existing
or proposed structures, fill, storage of materials, floodproofing
measures, and the relationship of the above to the location of
the channel floodway and 100 year flood elevation as shown on
the FIRM. When special circumstances necessitate detailed
information, the applicant shall furnish such of the following
additional information as is deemed necessary by the Board of
Adjustment for the evaluation of the effects of the proposed
use upon flood flows such as:
1. A typical valley cross-section showing the channel of the
stream, elevation of land areas adjoining each side of the
channel, cross-sectional areas to be occupied by the proposed
development, and high water information.
2. Plan view showing elevations or contours of the ground;
pertinent structures, fill, or storage elevations; size,
location and special arrangement of all proposed and existing
structures on the site; location and elevations of streets,
water supply, sanitary facilities, photographs showing existing
land uses and vegetation upstream and downstream, soil types,
and other pertinent information.
3. Profile showing the slope of the bottom of the channel.
4. Specifications for building construction and materials, flood -
proofing, filling, dredging, grading, channel improvements,
storage of materials, water supply, and sanitary facilities.
5. Additional information as may be required.
D. The Board of Adjustment in its review of the application, and prior
to formulating a reccnmendation, shall transmit one copy of the
application and supplemental information to the Public Works
Department for technical assistance in evaluating the proposed
project in relation to flood heights and velocities, potential
flood damage to the project, the adequacy of the plans for protec-
tion and other technical matters.
E. In passing on an application for a Special Use Permit the Board of
Adjustment shall determine the specific flood hazard at the site
and shall evaluate the suitability of the proposed use in relation
to the flood hazard. In addition, the Board of Adjustment shall
consider the following factors although not limited to such factors.
1. The probability that materials may be swept onto other lands
or downstream to the injury of others.
2. The proposed water supply and sanitation systems and the
ability of these systems to prevent disease, contamination and
unsanitary conditions.
3. The susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents
to flood damage and the effect of such damage to the individual
owner.
4. The availability of alternative locations not subject to
flooding for the proposed use.
y�
5. The safety of access to the property in times of flood for
ordinary emergency vehicles.
,6. The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise and
sediment transport of the floodwaters expected at the site.
8.11.02.14 Procedures for Modifving the Flood Hazard Boundary Mar
Iowa City's 100 year flood elevations may increase or decrease resulting
from physical changes affecting flooding conditions. Within six months
of the date that such information becomes available, Iowa City shall
notify the Federal Insurance Administration of the changes by submitting
technical or scientific data indicating that the Flood Insurance Rate
Map, the Flood Hazard Boundary Map, and the Flood Boundary and Floodway
Map and the Flood Insurance Study do not accurately reflect flood risks
as they currently exist.
The City of Iowa City shall notify adjacent canmmities, when affected,
the Iowa Natural Resources Council, and the Federal Insurance Adminis-
tration prior to any alteration or relocation of a watercourse on which
the 100 year flood elevations have been provided by the Federal Insur-
ance Administration. This notice will certify that the flood carrying
capacity within the altered or relocated portion of the watercourse has
been maintained.
Following these submissions, the Federal Insurance Adninistration shall
notify the City of Iowa City that the 100 year flood elevations on the
affected Flood Hazard Boundary Map, Flood Insurance Rate Map, the Flood
Boundary and Floodway Map and the Flood Insurance Study are correct or
that new 100 year flood elevations will be established by the Federal
Insurance Administration.
8.11.02.15 Non -Conforming Structures
A structure which was lawful before becoming subject to this Section,
but which is not in conformity with the provisions of this Section may
be continued subject to the following conditions:
A. Such structure shall not be expanded, changed, enlarged or altered
in a way which increases its non -conformity.
B. If any non -conforming structure is destroyed by any means, including
floods, to the extent that the cost of restoration would equal or
exceed 50 percent of the market value of the structure before the
structure was damaged; the following regulations shall apply:
1. If the non -conforming structure is in the Floodway, the
structure may be rebuilt; however it shall not be expanded,
changed, enlarged or altered in any way which would create an
obstruction to water flow greater than that which existed
before damage to the structure occurred. Upon reconstruction,
the structure shall be adequately and safely floodproofed or
elevated to the level of the 100 year flood as shown on FIRM.
If the structure is located in the Floodway Fringe District
(see 8.11.02.04, Definitions), it may be reconstructed provided
it is adequately and safely flood -proofed or elevated in
conformance with this section.
If any mobile hone or mobile home park is destroyed by any
means such that the cost of restoration would exceed 50% of
the market value of the structure prior to damage; then such
mobile home or mobile home park shall not be rebuilt if it is
located in the Floodway and if it is located in the Floodway
Fringe, it shall be rebuilt in conformance with this section.
8.11.02.16 Flood Plain Management Ordinance Administrator
This Ordinance shall be administered and enforced by the City Manager or
his/her appointed designee.
8.11.02.17 Variances
The Iowa City Board of Adjustment shall interpret this section and
shall judge where variances from the provisions of this section may
be granted.
A. Administrative Review - The Board shall hear and decide
appeals where it is alleged there is an error in any order,
requirement, decision or determination made by the Chief

circumstances variances may only be granted upon (1) a showing
of good and sufficient cause, (2) a determination that failure
to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship to
the applicant, and (3) a determination that the variance
issuance will not result in increased flood height, additional
threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, will
not create nuisances, cause fraud on or victimization of the
public or conflict with any other local laws or ordinances.
No variance shall have the effect of allowing in any zoning
district uses prohibited in that district by either this
section or the Iowa City Zoning Ordinance.
C. Variances shall not, under any condition, be issued within any
Floodway if any increase in flood level during the 100 year
flood would result.
Notice of Granting of Variance
In an annual report, the City of

left, unless a sign is in place prohibiting such a turn. Any left turn made pursuant
to this subsection shall be made in such a manner that is does not interfere with
other vehicular or pedestrian traffic lawfully using the intersection.

nance No. 77-2844 is hereby amended by adding the
following sentence: However, in instances where
certificate holders cease operations as a taxicab
service and where the City has had less than thirty
days notice by the certificate holder of the cessa-
tion, the notice as detailed herein of said public
hearing may be five (5) days.
Section 3. If any section, provision or part of the
Ordinance shall be adjudged to be invalid or uncon-
stitutional, such adjudication shall not affect the
validity of the Ordinance as a whole or any section,

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING MUNICIPAL ORDINANCE NO. 2621
BY EXEMPTING CERTAIN RAILROAD CROSSINGS AT BURLINGTON
STREET, DUBUQUE -DES MOINES STREET, CLINTON-DES MOINES
STREET AND KIRKWOOD-GILBERT COURT FROM THE PROVISIONS
OF MUNICIPAL ORDINANCE NO. 2621 WHICH REGULATES THE
AMOUNT OF TIME THAT RAILROAD CROSSINGS MAY BE BLOCKED
BY STANDING TRAINS.
Section 1. PURPOSE. The purpose of this
ordinance is to impement a negotiated agreement
made between the City of Iowa City and the Chicago/
Rock Island & Pacific Railroad Company (Rock
Island) and the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City Railway
Company (CRANDIC). Pursuant to this agreement,
Iowa City Ordinance No. 2621, which prohibits a
standing train from blocking any railroad crossing
within Iowa City for more than five minutes, would
remain in effect on all railroad crossings within
the City except for the intersections at Clinton -
Des Moines Street, Dubuque -Des Moines Street,

these four railroad crossings Code of Iowa 3327G.32,
which prohibits railroad crossing blockages for
more than ten minutes, would be controlling.

crossings at Clinton -Des Moines Street, Dubuque -
Des Moines Street, Kirkwood -Gilbert Court, and
Burlington Street will be exempt from Municipal
Ordinance No. 2621.
Section 2. AMENDMENT. Section II of the
Iowa City Ordinance No. 621 is hereby amended by
adding, after the last sentence which ends with
the phrase "intersecting said tracks.", the following
sentence: "The railroad crossings which are
located where the Rock Island railroad tracks
intersect Clinton at Des Moines Street and Kirkwood
at Gilbert Court and Dubuque at Des Moines Street
and where the CRANDIC railroad tracks intersect
Burlington Street are exempt from the provisions
of this ordinance.
Section 3. REPEALER. All ordinances and
parts of ordinance in conflict with the provisions
of this ordinance are hereby repealed.
Section 4. SEVERABILITY. If any section,
provision or part of the Ordinance shall be adjudged
to be invalid or unconstitutional, such adjudi-
cation shall not affect the validity of the Ordinance
as a whole or any section, provision or part
thereof not adjudged invalid or unconstitutional.
Section 5. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Ordinance
shall be in effect after its final passage, approval
and publication as required by law.
Passed and adopted this 6th day of December , 1977.
