AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 8.10, THE
ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF
THE CITY OF IOWA CITY, IOWA, BY DELETING
SECTION 8.10.50, AIRPORT OVERLAY ZONES, AND
SUBSTITUTING IN LIEU THEREOF A NEW SECTION
8.10.50.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY OF IOWA CITY,
IOWA:
SECTION 1. PURPOSE. The purpose of this
ordinance is to implement the Iowa City
Municipal Airport Master Plan by
establishing Airport Overlay Zones
consistent with said plan and establishing a
clear overlay zone within which uses which
would be incompatible with the airport are
prohibited.
SECTION 2. AMENDMENTS. Section 8.10.50 is
hereby amended by deleting said section and
inserting the following:
8.10.50 Airport overlay zones.
8.10.50.1 Findings.
(a) The creation or establishment of
an airport hazard is a public nuisance
causing potential injury to those served by
the airport;
(b) It is necessary in the interest of
the public health, safety, and general
welfare that creation of airport hazards be
prevented and that this be accomplished, to
the extent legally possible, by proper
exercise of the police power;
(c) The prevention of the creation or
establishment of airport hazards, and the
elimination, removal, alteration,
mitigation or marking and lighting of
existing airport hazards are public purposes
for which the City may raise and expend
public funds, as an incident to the
operation of the airport, to acquire land or
property interests therein;
(d) Because of the propensity of
sanitary landfills for attracting birds,
which in turn are hazardous to aircraft in
flight, landfills are not considered
compatible with airport operations; and
(e) It is highly desirable that there
be no structures or natural objects or
traverse ways in the clear zones and that no
incompatible uses be allowed in the clear
zone.
8.10.50.2 Definitions.
The following definitions only apply in the
interpretation and enforcement of the
airport overlay zon
iAi
Ord ice No. 83-3133
Pag
(a) Airport. The Iowa City Municipal

(b) Airport elevation. The highest
point of the airport s usable landing area
measured in feet above mean sea level, which
elevation is established to be 661 feet.
(c) Airport hazard. Any structure,
tree or use of land which would exceed the
Federal obstruction standards as contained
in FAR Part 77 - Subpart C of Federal
Regulations as revised March 4, 1972, and
which obstruct the airspace required for the
flight of aircraft and landing or takeoff at
the airport or is otherwise hazardous to
such landing or taking off of aircraft.
(d) Airport Layout Plan. A drawing
in the Airport Master Plan depicting
existing and future property lines and
facilities including but not limited to
runways, taxiways, aprons, buildings and
clear zones.
(e) Airport primary surface. A
surface longitudinally centered on a runway
which extends 200 feet beyond the end of a
runway. The width of the primary surface of
a runway shall be that width prescribed in
Part 77 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
(FAR) for the most precise approach existing
or planned for either end of that runway.
The elevation of any point on the primary
surface is the same as the elevation of the
nearest point on the runway centerline.
(f) Airspace height. For the purpose
of determining the height limits in all
zones set forth herein and shown on the
Airport Height Zoning Map, the datum shall
be mean sea level elevation unless otherwise
specified.
(g) Instrument runway. A runway with
an existing instrument approach procedure or
for which an instrument approach procedure
has been approved or planned.
(h) Airport Master Plan. A
comprehensive plan for development of the
airport over a 20 year time period. The

aviation activity forecasts, determinations
of needed airport facilities, a financial
plan and proposed time schedule for
developing facilities included in the Master
Plan, and recommendations for use of land on
and adjacent to the airport. The Airport
Layout Plan is a component part of the
Master Plan.
(i) Minimum descent altitude. The
lowest altitude, expressed in feet above
mea- sea level, to ihich descent is

8.10.50.3 Airport zones and airspace
height limitations.
In order to carry out the provisions of
this Section, there are hereby created and
established certain zones which are depicted
on the Airport Height Zoning Map. A
structure located in more than one (1) zone

by lines tangent to those
arcs.
(NOTE: The radius of the arc specified
for each end of a runway will have the
same arithmetical value. That value
will be the highest determined for
either end of the runway. When a 5,000

DIVISION 2. OVERLAY ZONES
Sec. 36-30. Flood hazard overlay zones.
Sec. 36-31. General.
(a) Purpose. The purpose of the flood hazard overlay zones is to
establish regulations to minimize the extent of floods and the losses
incurred in flood hazard areas and to promote the public health, safety
and welfare.
(b) Intent. The flood hazard overlay zones are intended to permit only
that development within the floodplain which is appropriate in light of
the probability of flood damage. The regulations as set forth herein
shall apply to all property located in the floodplains, as shown on the
Flood Hazard Boundary Map filed with the City Clerk.
(c) Adoption of flood maps and flood insurance study. The City has
adopted the Flood Hazard Boundary Map, the Flood Insurance Rate Map, the
Flood Boundary and Floodway Map and the Flood Insurance Study dated May
2, 1977, provided by the Federal Insurance Administration as the offic-
ial documents. No ordinance related to these documents shall be adopted
or enforced based upon modified data reflecting natural or man-made
physical changes without prior approval of change in the documents by
the Federal Insurance Administration.
(d) Lands to which the overlay zones apply. The flood hazard overlay
zones shall apply to all lands shown on the Flood Hazard Boundary Map as
being located within the 100 year flood plain.
(e) Determination of the location of floodplains and floodwa s. The
boundaries of the floodplains and floodways shall be determined from
information presented on the Flood Boundary and Floodway Map. In the
absence of specific 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 zone boundary on any
property. Any person contesting the location of the zone boundary shall
be given an opportunity to present his/her case to the Board of
Adjustment for interpretation.
(f) Disclaimer of liability. The degree of flood protection required
herein 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. These
regulations do not imply that areas outside the flood hazard overlay
zones will be free from flooding or flood damages. These regulations
shall not create liability on the part of the City or any official or
employee thereof for any flood damages that result from reliance on
these regulations or any administrative decision lawfully made hereunder.
77
(g) Establishment of Floodplain Overlay (OFP) Zone and Floodway Over-
lay (OFW) Zone. The City hereby establishes a Floodplain Overlay
(OFP) Zone and a Floodway Overlay (OFW) Zone which boundaries are those
of the designated 100 year flood and the designated floodway respec-
tively, as shown on the Flood Boundary and Floodway Map. The OFP Zone
includes the OFW Zone.
(h) Public inspection. The City maintains for public inspection the
following:
(1) A Flood Hazard Boundary Map, a Flood Insurance Rate Map, and
a Flood Boundary and Floodway Map.
(2) Certificates of flood proofing (with building permits as
applicable).
(3) For all new or substantially improved buildings in the flood -
plains:
a. Information on the elevation of the lowest habitable
floor including basement,
b. A statement whether a building contains a basement, and
C. A statement whether a building has been flood proofed and
to what elevation.
Sec. 36-32. Definitions.
The following definitions apply only in the interpretation and

issued on or after the effective date of flood management regulations.
(g) Equal degree of encroachment. A standard applied in determining
the location of encroachment limits so that floodplain lands on both
sides of a stream or river are capable of conveying a proportionate
share of floodflows. This is determined by considering the effect of
encroachment on the hydraulic efficiency of the floodplain along both
sides of a stream for a significant reach.

additions, changes, or adjustments to structures which reduce or elimin-
ate flood damage to real and personal property.
(o) Floodway. The area located within the Floodway Overlay Zone and
described as 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 water surface elevation
more than one (1) foot at any point.
(p) Floodway encroachment lines. The lines marking the limits of
floodways on the Flood Boundary and Floodway Map.
(q) Floodway fringe. The land located within the Floodplain Overlay
Zone and described as the land between the floodway encroachment lines
and the maximum elevation subject to inundation by the 100 year flood as
defined herein.
79
(r) Habitable floor. Any floor usable for living purposes which
includes working, sleeping, eating, cooking or recreation, or a combina-
tion thereof. A floor used only for storage purposes is not a habitable

of streets) commenced before the effective date of flood management
regulations.
(u) Mobile home park or subdivision, expansion. The preparation of
additional sites by the construction of facilities for servicing the
lots on which the mobile homes are to be affixed (including the instal-
lation of utilities, either final site grading or pouring of concrete
pads, or the construction of streets).
(v) Mobile home park or subdivision, new. Land divided into two or
more mobile home lots for rent or sale for which the construction of
facilities for servicing the lots on which the mobile homes are to be

final site grading or the pouring of concrete pads, and the construction
of streets) commenced on or after the effective date of flood management
regulations adopted by the City.
(w) Reach. A hydraulic engineering term to describe longitudinal
segments of a stream or river. An example of a reach would be the
segment of a stream or river between two consecutive bridge crossings.
(x) Substantial improvement. Any repair, reconstruction, or improve-
ment of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of
the appraised value of the structure, either (a) before the improvement
or repair is started or (b) if the structure has been damaged and is
being restored, before the damage occurred. For the purposes of this
definition substantial improvement is considered to occur when the first
alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor or other structural part of the
structure commences, whether or not that alteration affects the external
dimensions of the structure. The term does not, however, include either
(1) any project for improvement of a structure to comply with existing
state or local health, sanitary or safety code specifications which are
solely necessary to assure safe living conditions or (2) any alteration

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 Flood
Insurance Rate Map.
(2) I£ a structure is located in the floodway fringe it may be
reconstructed provided it is adequately and safely flood -
proofed or elevated in conformance with the requirements
herein.
(b) If any mobile home or mobile home park is destroyed by any means
such that the cost of restoration would exceed 50% of its appraisal
��v
r
value prior to damage, then such mobile home or mobile home park shall
not be rebuilt or replaced if it is located in the floodway. If it is
located in the floodway fringe, it shall be rebuilt in conformance with
the requirements herein.
Sec. 36-37. Variances.

stances variances may only be granted upon a determination that the
variance issuance will not result in increased flood height, additional
threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances,
cause fraud or victimization of the public or conflict with any other
local laws or ordinances. Variances shall not, under any condition, be
issued within the floodway if any increase in flood level during the 100
year flood would result.
(b) Insurance rates. The issuance of a variance to construct a building
below the 100 year flood level will result in increased premium rates
for flood insurance coverage because such construction below the level
of the 100 year flood increases risks to life and property. The applicant
should contact his/her insurance agent for further information.
(c) Approval by the Iowa Department of Water, Air and Waste Management.
All decisions to grant a variance shall be submitted to the Iowa Department
of Water, Air and Waste Management for final approval. The decision to
grant a variance shall not be binding until such approval is granted by
the Iowa Department of Water, Air and Waste Management.
Note: The provisions in Sections 36-30 through 37 are essentially the
same as existed in the Zoning Ordinance prior to the adoption of this
Chapter.

Sec. 36-38. Airport overlay zones.
Sec. 36-39. Findings.
(a) The creation or establishment of an airport hazard is a public
nuisance causing potential injury to those served by the airport;
(b) It is necessary in the interest of the public health, safety, and
general welfare that creation of airport hazards be prevented and that
this be accomplished, to the extent legally possible, by proper exercise
of the police power;
(c) The prevention of the creation or establishment of airport hazards,
and the elimination, removal, alteration, mitigation or marking and
lighting of existing airport hazards are public purposes for which the
City may raise and expend public funds, as an incident to the operation
of the airport, to acquire land or property interests therein;
(d) Because of the propensity of sanitary landfills for attracting
birds, which in turn are hazardous to aircraft in flight, landfills are
not considered compatible with airport operations; and
(e) It is highly desirable that there be no structures or natural
objects or traverse ways in the clear zones and that no incompatible
uses be allowed in the clear zone.
Sec. 36-40. Definitions.
The following definitions only apply in the interpretation and enforce-
ment of the airport overlay zones.
(a) Airport. The Iowa City Municipal Airport.
(b) Airport elevation. The highest point of the airport's usable
landing area measured in feet above mean sea level, which elevation is
established to be 661 feet.
(c) Airport hazard. Any structure, tree or use of land which would
exceed the Federal obstruction standards as contained in FAR Part 77 -
Subpart C of Federal Regulations as revised March 4, 1972, and which
obstruct the airspace required for the flight of aircraft and landing or
takeoff at the airport or is otherwise hazardous to such landing or
taking off of aircraft.

Sec. 36-44. River Corridor Overlay (ORC) Zone.
(a) Findings. The Iowa River and adjacent land are valuable natural
resources, essential elements in local sewer, water and recreational
systems, and serve important biological and ecological functions. The
river corridor also functions as the area's most significant natural
amenity which plays an important role in the ongoing development of
adjacent communities. The prevention and mitigation of irreversible
damage to these resources and the preservation and enhancement of their
natural, cultural, and historic values is in furtherance of the health,
safety and general welfare of the City.
(b) Purpose. The purpose of the River Corridor Overlay Zone is to:
(1) Protect and preserve the Iowa River as a natural drainageway
and source of ground and surface water;
(2) Conserve the natural resources of the corridor so that the
corridor retains its value as a significant amenity to the
adjacent communities;
(3) Provide for compatible land uses;
(4) Ensure orderly development of residential and recreational
uses within the length of the corridor located in the City.
(c) Intent. The intent of the River Corridor Overlay Zone is to:
(1) Ensure responsible development that will result in the least
possible amount of stormwater runoff and erosion along the
river corridor;
(2) Ensure responsible development that will not impair either the
public's visual access to the river or the public's view from
the river;
(3) Encourage the development of a 100 foot vegetative buffer
between the river bank, as defined, and new development;
(4) Encourage the use of natural vegetation or other appropriate
means of erosion control that are in keeping with the intent
of this zone;
(5) Encourage the preservation of overstory vegetation for erosion
control and for aesthetic purposes.
(d) Establishment of River Corridor Zone. The ORC Zone with its
attendant regulations is hereby established as part of this Chapter.
The ORC Zone shall overlay all other zones established within the
boundaries as described in Subsection (e) following.
(e) Zone boundaries. The ORC Zone shall apply to the Iowa River Corridor
which is delineated on the official zoning map on file in the office of
the City Clerk and shall be available for inspection and copy.

shall be imposed upon the applicant unless approved by the City Council
subsequent to the Commission's recommendation.
(b) Application for a Certificate of Appropriateness shall be made to
the Building Official. The application should include drawings, photo-
graphs, sketches and other exhibits portraying the work to be accomp-
lished which will aid the Historic Preservation Commission in the
consideration of the application.
(c) Upon the filing of such application, the Building Official shall
immediately notify the Historic Preservation Commission of the receipt
of such application and shall transmit it together with accompanying
plans and other information to the Commission, unless the application
pertains solely to the interior of the structure.
(d) All applications received before the closing date, to be estab-
lished by the Commission, shall be considered by the Commission at its
next regularly scheduled meeting. The Commission shall review the
application according to the duties and powers specified herein. In
reviewing the application the Commission may confer with the applicant
104
or the applicant's authorized representative. In acting upon an
application the Commission shall consider whether the change in
appearance to a building or site proposed by the application conforms to
standards set forth in the January 1979 revised edition of the Secretary
of the Interior's "Standards for Rehabilitation." The Commission may
use the Secretary of Interior's "Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic
Buildings" or other guidelines adopted by the Commission to aid in
determining whether the proposed change in appearance to a building or
site conforms to the Secretary of Interior's "Standards for
Rehabilitation."
(e) The Commission shall approve, modify, or disapprove the
application. The findings of the Commission on each application shall
be contained in a written resolution setting forth the full reason for

Chairperson, and immediately transmitted along with the application to
the Building Official. If the application is disapproved it will be
immediately transmitted, along with the written resolution of the
Commission's findings, to the Building Official.
(f) Any applicant aggrieved by any decision of the Commission may
appeal the action to the City Council. Such an appeal must be in
writing and must be filed with the City Clerk no later than 10 business
days after the filing of thg above mentioned resolution. The City
Council shall, within a reasonable time, hold a public hearing on the
appeal, give public notice thereof as well as notice to the applicant
and to the appellant, if different from the applicant, and decide the
appeal within a reasonable time. In deciding such appeal, the City
Council shall consider whether the Commission has exercised its powers
and followed the guidelines established by law and this ordinance, and
whether the Commission's action was patently arbitrary or capricious.
In exercising the above-mentioned powers the City Council may, in
conformity with the provisions of this ordinance, reverse or affirm,
wholly or partly, or may modify the order, requirement, decision, or
determination appealed from and may make such order, requirement,'
decision, or determination as ought to be made, and to that end shall
have all the powers of the Commission from whom the appeal is taken.
(g) If not satisfied with the decision of the City Council the
appellant may appeal to the Johnson County district court within 60 days
after the Council's decision.
(h) Certificates of Appropriateness issued on the basis of approved
applications authorize only changes in appearance set forth in such
approved applications and no other changes in appearance. It shall be
the duty of the Building Official or his/her designee to inspect from
time to time any work performed pursuant to such a Certificate to insure
compliance with the requirements of such Certificate. If it is found
—)017
105
that such work is not being carried out in accordance with the
Certificate, the Building Official shall issue a stop work order. Any
change in appearance at variance with that authorized by the Certificate
shall be deemed a violation of these regulations and shall be punishable

at least 30 days notice of any proposed order which may affect the
exterior features of any building within a historic district by
directing changes or alterations of such building for remedying
conditions determined to be dangerous to life, health or property.
(b) The Commission shall have the power to require that changes of
alterations not adversely affect the exterior features of a building in
cases where the danger to life, health or property may be abated without
detracting from the exterior features of the building. In such cases it
shall be the responsibility of the Commission and the city agency or
department to cooperate with the property owner in an attempt to achieve
a preservation solution whereby the dangerous conditions will be
corrected with minimal adverse impact on exterior features. Such plan
shall be approved by the Commission and shall be signed by the Chairman
of the Commission, the property owner, and the head of the city agency
or department.
(c) If a preservation solution acceptable to the Commission, the City
agency or department, and the property owner cannot be reached within 30

a. General.
1. Off-street parking and stacking spaces, aisles and
drives shall be located on the same lot as the use
served except as provided in subsection (d).
2. In all R zones, except for zero lot line dwellings,
and in all other zones abutting an R zone, drives
and aisles shall not be located closer than three
(3) feet to a lot line or an R zone boundary unless

and I zones within 50 feet of an R zone, no parking
shall be permitted in the front yard.
2. For detached single family dwellings in the R zones,
one (1) of the required parking spaces may be provided
in the front yard on a regularly constructed aisle
provided that not less than 50 percent of the front
yard area shall remain in open space free of impervious
surface.
3. For zero lot line dwellings, duplexes, and family
care facilities, two (2) of the required parking

structed aisle.
,315
126
C. Side yard. Except for single and two-family dwellings or
where two lots share the same parking and stacking spaces,
drives and aisles pursuant to subsection (d), no parking
spaces, aisles or drives shall be permitted in that
portion of the required side yard which is contiguous to
the principal building on a lot.
d. Rear yard. Parking and stacking spaces, drives and
aisles may be provided in the rear yard.
(d) Off-street parking located on a separate lot. Where two or more
uses share the same off-street parking and stacking spaces, aisles and
drives, an increase in the number of spaces is required by a conversion
or an enlargement of a use, or when uses are located in a CB -2 zone,
off-street parking and stacking spaces, aisles and drives may be located
on a separate lot from the use served provided a special exception is
granted by the Board of Adjustment and that the following conditions are
met:
(1) Special location plan. A special location plan shall be filed
with the Board by the owners of the entire land area to be
included within the special location plan and contain such
information deemed necessary to comply with the requirements
herein. Evidence of ownership shall be provided.

to the nearest point of the building that the parking
area is required to serve, shall not be greater than 600
feet.
(3) Where off-street parking is used jointly by two (2) or more
uses the number of parking spaces shall be equal to the sum
total of off-street parking space requirements of all such
uses.

recreational uses, clubs, schools or restaurants and up to 100
percent for a religious institution may be shared by financial
institutions, offices, retail establishments, repair shops,
personal service establishments and similar uses not normally
open, used or operated during the same hours.
(5) A written agreement properly executed by the owners within the
area of the special location plan assuring the retention of
the parking and stacking spaces, aisles and drives and binding
upon their successors and assigns shall be submitted with the
special location plan as a convenant running with the land.
31�
127
(6) In instances where a use is within 600 feet of a City -owned
parking area, up to 50 percent of the required number of
parking spaces may be provided in the parking facility. In
the instance where an applicant wishes to provide off-street
parking in a City -owned parking facility, the Board shall
substantiate that, with the addition of the number of cars for
a use accommodated in the facility, the capacity of the parking
facility will not be exceeded.
(7) In assessing an application for a special exception, the Board
shall consider the desirability of the location of off-street
parkin and stacking spaces, aisles and drives, on a lot
separate from the use served in terms of pedestrian and
vehicular traffic safety and any detrimental effects such off-
street parking and stacking spaces, aisles and drives may have
on adjacent property.
(e) Screening requirements. In addition to the applicable requirements
for screening of Sec. 36-76(j), the following screening requirements in
connection with parking areas shall be met:
(1) Where a parking area is provided on a lot within 50 feet of an
abutting lot with a residential use which requires four (4) or
fewer parking spaces, the portion of the parking area within
50 feet of the abutting lot shall be screened from view within
the abutting lot or at such time as provided in Sec. 36-76(j).
(2) Where a parking area is provided on a lot within 100 feet
across the street from a lot with a residential use which
requires four (4) or, fewer parking spaces, the portion of the
parking area within 100 feet shall be screened from view
within the lot or at such time as provided in Sec. 36-76(j).
(3) The materials for screening and the placement shall comply
with the regulations of Sec. 36-76(j).
(f) Off-street parking in the CB -10 Zone. Except as otherwise provided
off-street parking in the CB -10 zone shall be permitted only after
approval of a special exception by the Board of Adjustment. The Board
shall consider the impact of the proposed parking upon surrounding uses
in relation to the following requirements:
(1) Screening. In addition to the applicable requirements for
screening of subsection (e) herein, where a parking area abuts
a street it shall be separated therefrom by a solid fence,
wall, or evergreen hedge having a height of not less than
three (3) feet nor more than five (5) feet.
(2) Access. Each entrance and exit to the parking area shall be
constructed so that vehicles entering or leaving the parking
area shall be clearly visible to a pedestrian on any sidewalks
at a distance of not less than 10 feet.
128
(3) Signs. Appropriate signs, including stop signs posted at the
exits to streets, shall be provided.
(g) Special vehicle parking and storage. In an R zone certain vehicles
because of special characteristics shall comply with the following
requirements:
(1) Vehicles more than seven (7) feet in height shall not be
parked in the front yard or side yard, except upon a regularly
constructed aisle for the purposes of loading and unloading.
(2) Commercial vehicles designed for the shipment of detonable
materials or flammable solids, liquids or gases shall not be
parked on any lot in an R zone except for the purpose of
making local deliveries.
(h) Parking for handicapped persons. Where a use is required to pro-
vide accessibility for handicapped persons, at least two (2) percent of
the parking spaces shall be set aside and identified with signs for use
by handicapped persons. The spaces shall be a minimum of 12 feet 6
inches wide and located with the most convenient access to the building.
A smooth, unimpeded surface shall be provided from the parking spaces to
the building entrance.
(i) Modification of parking requirements. Where it can be demonstrated
that a specific use has such characteristics that the number of parking
or stacking spaces required is too restrictive, the Board of Adjustment
may grant a special exception to allow up to not more than a 50 percent
reduction, and more for buildings placed on the National Register of
Historic Places, in the required number of parking or stacking spaces.

(b) Particulate matter. No person shall operate or cause to be oper-
ated any process or furnace or combustion device for the burning of coal
or other natural or synthetic fuels without using approved equipment,
methods or devices to reduce the quantity of gasborne or airborne solids
of fumes emitted into the open air exceeding a rate permitted below at
the temperature of 500 degrees Fahrenheit. For the purpose of deter-
mining the adequacy of such devices, these conditions shall apply when
the percentage of excess air in the stack does not exceed 50 percent at
full load. The foregoing requirement shall be measured by the A.S.M.E.
Test Code for dust -separating apparatus. All other forms of dust, dirt
and fly ash shall be completely eliminated insofar as escape or emission
into the open air is concerned.

(j) Screening. Where a lot occupied by a commercial or industrial use
abuts or is across a street, highway, alley, or railroad right-of-way
from an R or ORP Zone, a school, or a recreational area including a
park, playground or the Iowa River, screening shall be preserved,
planted or constructed and maintained by the owner of the commercial or
industrial use in accordance with the,provisions set forth below. In
the instance where a lot occupied by a manufactured housing use, located
in an RMH Zone, abuts or is across the street from an RR -1 or RS -5 Zone,
screening, in accordance with the provisions set forth below, shall also
be provided by the owner of the manufactured housing use.
(1) Location.
a. Except for a use in the ORP Zone, screening shall be
provided along lot lines or street right-of-way in a
manner sufficient to effectively obscure the commercial
or industrial use from view at ground level within the
lot lines of an R or ORP Zone, or school, abutting or
located across the street from said commercial or
industrial use.
2CQ
170
b. In an ORP Zone, screening shall be provided in a location
and manner sufficient to effectively obscure all off-
street parking and loading, storage, or other such areas
of activity from view within the lot lines of the R Zone
or%school:
C. In an RMH Zone, screening shall be provided along lot
lines or street right-of-way in a manner sufficient to
effectively obscure the manufactured housing use from
view within the lot lines of residential development in
an RR -1 or RS -5 Zone.
d. In all instances where street right-of-way, which acts to
separate the lots on which said uses are located, is one
hundred (100) feet or wider, screening shall not be
required.
(2) Screening materials.
a. A planting screen of pyramidal arbor vitae, the plantings
being at least three (3) feet high when planted and
spaced four (4) feet on center, may be used. Other
evergreen varieties may be used if approved by and spaced
according to the City Forestor. The planting bed shall
have a minimum dimension of five (5) feet, be free of any
impervious surface, and be separated from streets, drives
and parking areas by an unmountable curb or barrier in
such a manner that sand and saltwater runoff will not
damage the screening.
b. Where a planting screen cannot be expected to thrive
because of intense shade, soil or other conditions, a
solid fence of durable construction, an earthen berm
covered with grass or low shrubs and/or other acceptable
materials which provide maximum visual obscurity to a
height of six (6) feet at maturity may be used if
approved by the City Forester.
(3) Time of installation.
a. If a lot proposed for a commercial or industrial use is
located adjacent to or opposite an existing residential
use or subdivision in an R Zone, or a school, screening
as required herein shall be installed prior to occupancy
or commencement of a use. The City Forester may grant a
delay to the seasonal calendar dates of June 1 or
November 1, whichever comes first. Similarly, if a lot
or space intended for the placement of a manufactured
housing use is located adjacent to, or across the street
from an existing residential development in an RR -1 or
RS -5 Zone, the owner of the manufactured housing use
shall provide screening as described herein.
171
b. If "a" above is not the case, screening need not be
provided until within six (6) months after a building
permit is issued for a residential use or a school in an
R zone, a final plat of a residential subdivision is
approved, or a recreational area is available for use on
adjacent or opposite land.
(4) Exceptions.
a. Where a proposed or existing commercial or industrial use
is or will be located adjacent to or opposite a City
recreational area, screening may be waived upon the
granting of a special exception from the Board of
Adjustment for the following reasons:
1. If adequate existing or proposed landscaping within
the recreational area is or will be provided.
2. If the nature of a use and the building(s) occupied
by the use are not objectionable to the purpose of
the recreational area.
b. Screening may be waived by the Building Official where
the view is or will be blocked by a change in grade or by
the natural or man-made features as determined by the
Building Official.
(5) Maintenance. The owner shall keep all screening properly
maintained, free of trash and litter and all plant materials
pruned in such a manner as to provide effective visual
obscurity from the ground to a height of at least six (6)
feet.

DIVISION 4.
Sec. 36-78. Intent.
172
It is the intent of this Chapter to regulate nonconforming uses and
structures because they have been found to be incompatible with per-
mitted uses and structures in the zone involved. However, single family
uses shall not generally be treated as noncomforming uses. Nonconform-
ing buildings shall be regulated to prevent an increase in the degree of
nonconformity. The lawful use of any building or land existing on the
effective date of this Chapter may continue although such use or land
does not conform with the provisions of this Chapter.
Sec. 36-79. General provisions.
(a) Structural alterations. Structural alterations may be made to non-
conforming buildings to meet the minimum requirements of other city codes.
(b) Unlawful use not authorized. Nothing in this Chapter shall be
interpreted as authorization for the continuance of the use of a struc-
ture or land established unlawfully in violation of the zoning
regulations in effect prior to the enactment of this Chapter.
(c) Single family dwellings treated as conforming. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Chapter, a single family use, a single family
dwelling and accessory structures, or a lot on which a single family
dwelling is located, that was conforming prior to the effective date of
this Chapter, shall generally be treated as conforming for as long as
the dwelling is used for a single family use. Accordingly, the
following rights shall be granted under this Chapter.
(a) Structures for a nonconforming single family use may be
restored for a single family use if destroyed or damaged by
fire, explosion, act of God, or by a public enemy; recon-
structed; expanded; repaired; and structurally altered,
provided all other requirements of this Chapter are met.
(b) Nonconforming single family dwellings or nonconforming
accessory structures to a single family use may be restored to
the same degree of nonconformity or less if destroyed or
damaged by fire, explosion, act of God, or by a public enemy;
repaired; and structurally altered, provided such construction
does not increase or extend the degree of nonconformity.
Nonconforming structures shall not be reconstructed except in
compliance with the provisions of this Chapter.
(c) A nonconforming single family use and a nonconforming single
family dwelling and accessory structures on a nonconforming
lot shall be granted the same rights as above and any other
rights as if the lot were conforming.
(d) A nonconforming single family use and a nonconforming single
family dwelling and accessory structures shall also be granted
the same rights as for other nonconforming uses and structures.

Sec. 36-80. Nonconforming uses.
Except as otherwise provided in this Chapter, nonconforming uses and
structures for nonconforming uses shall be regulated as follows.
(a) No nonconforming use shall be enlarged nor shall a structure for a
nonconforming use be constructed, reconstructed, structurally altered,
or relocated on the lot.
(b) A nonconforming use may be converted only to a conforming use.
Once a use is converted to a conforming use, it shall not be converted
back to a nonconforming use.
(c) Any structure for a nonconforming use, which has been destroyed or
damaged by fire, explosion, act of God, or by a public enemy to the
extent of less than 100° of the structure's assessed value, may be
restored for the same nonconforming use as existed before such damage.
However, the nonconforming use shall not be enlarged to more than
existed before such damage.
(d) A lot or portion of a lot, on which is located a structure for a
nonconforming use that has been destroyed or damaged by fire, explosion,
act of God, or by a public enemy to the extent of 100°, or more of the
structure's assessed value, shall revert to a conforming use.
(e) A lot or portion of a lot devoted to a nonconforming use, which is
discontinued for a period of 'one (1) year, shall revert to a conforming
use.
(f) A nonconforming use shall be permitted to have the same amount and
type of signage as would be allowed for such use in the most restrictive
zone in which such nonconforming use is allowed.
Sec. 36-81. Nonconforming structures.
Nonconforming structures shall be regulated as follows.
(a) Any nonconforming structure, which has been destroyed or damaged by
fire, explosion, act of God, or by a public enemy to the extent of less
than 100° of the structure's assessed value, may be restored to the same
degree of nonconformity or less.
(b) A nonconforming structure, which has been destroyed or damaged by
fire, explosion, act of God, or by a public enemy to the extent of 100%
or more of the structure's assessed value, shall not be restored except
in compliance with the provisions of this Chapter.
(c) Any nonconforming structure containing a conforming use may be
converted to another conforming use, provided there shall not result an
increase in the degree of nonconformity of the structure.
(d) A nonconforming structure may be structurally altered, provided it
is structurally altered in a way which will not increase or extend its
nonconformity or in a way which will reduce its nonconformity.
�� 2
174
(e) Any nonconforming structure which is relocated on the same lot
shall thereafter conform to the provisions of this Chapter.
Sec. 36-82. Nonconforming lots.
Development of nonconforming lots shall be regulated as follows.
(a) Any use or structure for a use permitted in the zone in which the
lot is located may be established or erected, provided the use or
structure meets all other requirements of this Chapter. However, no use
nor structure for a use, either one of which requires more lot area than
presently exists, shall be permitted.
(b) All existing conforming or nonconforming uses and structures shall
be treated as if such uses and structures were established on a
conforming lot. However, no use nor structure for a use, either one of
which requires more lot area than presently exists and the structure of
which has been destroyed or damaged by fire, explosion, act of God, or
by a public enemy to the extent of 1007, or more of the structure's
assessed value, shall be restored except in compliance with the
provisions of this Chapter.
(c) If two or more abutting lots or portions thereof become in single
ownership, the land involved shall be deemed a single parcel for the
purposes of this Chapter and no portion of said parcel shall be sold or
used in a manner which diminishes compliance with lot frontage, width
and area requirements.

to him/her any new construction, reconstruction, land uses, or other
seeming violations.
(b) Appeals from a decision of the City Manager or his/her designee in
enforcing this chapter may be made to the Board of Adjustmnet as
provided in Section 1-79.
Sec. 36-85. Construction prior to Chapter.
Nothing in this Chapter shall require any change in plans, con=
struction or designated use of a structure for which a building permit
has lawfully been issued prior to the effective date of this Chapter.
Sec. 36-86. Building and occupancy certificates.
No building or construction may be undertaken in the city until a
building permit has been issued by the City Manager or his/her designee
for such building or construction.
No change in the use or occupancy of land, nor any change of use or
occupancy in an existing building, other than for single-family dwelling
purposes, shall be made, nor shall any new building be occupied until a
certificate of occupancy has been issued by the City Manager or his/her
designee. If a building permit has not been issued prior to the
adoption of this Chapter, every certificate of occupancy shall state
that the new occupancy complies with all provisions of this Chapter. No
permit for excavation for, or the erection or alteration of, any
building shall be issued before the application has been made for a
certificate of occupancy and compliance, and no building or premises
shall be occupied until such certificate and permit is issued. A record
of all certificates of occupancy shall be kept on file in the office of
the City Manager or his/her designee.
A certificate of occupancy may be obtained for nonconforming uses.
Application for certificate of occupancy for nonconforming uses shall be
accompanied by affidavits of proof that such nonconforming use was not
established in violation of the zoning ordinance after July 26, 1962,
and before the adoption of this Chapter.
Sec. 36-87. Rules of construction for boundaries of zones.
(a) Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of various
zones as shown on the zoning map accompanying and made a part of this
Chapter, the following rules apply:
(1) The boundaries of the zones are the centerlines of either
streets or alleys unless otherwise shown, and where the zones
�G �
176
designated on the map accompanying and made a part of this
Chapter are bounded approximately by street or alley lines,
the centerlines of such street or alley shall be construed to
be the boundary of the zone.
(2) Where the boundaries of the zone are not otherwise indicated,
and where the property has been or may hereafter be divided
into blocks and lots, the boundaries of the zone shall be
construed to be the lot lines and where the zones designated
on the zoning map accompanying and made a part of this Chapter
are bounded approximately by lot lines, the lot lines shall be
construed to be the boundaries of the zones unless the
boundaries are otherwise indicated on the map.
(3) In separate tracts not subdivided and in unsubdivided
property, the zoning boundary lines on the map accompanying
and made a part of this Chapter shall be determined by use of
the scale appearing on the map.
(b) In interpreting and applying the provisions of this Chapter, such
provisions shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the
promotion of the public safety, health, convenience, comfort, morals,

petition, amend, supplement, change, modify or repeal by ordinance the
boundaries of zones, or regulations, or restrictions herein established.
Any proposed amendment, supplement, change, modification or repeal shall
first be submitted to the Commission for its recommendations and report.
If the Commission makes no report within 45 days, it shall be considered
to have made a report approving the proposed amendment, supplement,
modification or change. After the recommendation and report of the
Commission have been filed, the Council shall before enacting any
proposed amendment, supplement, change, modification or repeal, hold a
public hearing in relation thereto, giving at least 15 days notice of
the time and place of such hearing, which notice shall first be
published in a newspaper having a general circulation in the City of
Iowa City. The Council may set such public hearing either before or
after it submits such proposed amendment, supplement, change,
modification or repeal to the Commission for its recommendation, or
during the period while the Commission is considering such matter.
(b) If a protest against such proposal, amendment, supplement, change,
modification or repeal shall be presented in writing to the City Clerk,
duly signed and acknowledged by the owners of 20 percent or more, either
of the area of the lots included in such proposed change; or of the area
of those abutting lots extending the depth of one (1) lot or not to
exceed 200 feet therefrom in any one (1) direction perpendicular to a
side or rear lot line; or of the area of those lots directly across a
3(06
177
street extending the depth of one (1) lot or not to exceed 200 feet from
the street frontage of the lots, such amendment, supplement, change,
modification or repeal shall not become effective except by the
favorable vote of three-fourths (3/4) of the members of the Council.
(c) Before any action shall be taken as provided in this section, the
party or parties proposing or recommending a change in the district or
zone regulation or district or zone boundaries shall deposit with the
City Clerk such filing fee, if any, as the Council may from time to time
establish by resolution for petitions for rezoning.
(d) No building permit for the erection of any building or structure or
license or permit for the conduct of any use shall be issued for a
period of 60 days after the City Council of Iowa City has set a public
hearing on the question of amending the Zoning Ordinance and map so as
to rezone an area, if the building or use contemplated by the requested
permit would not be permitted in that area under the proposed zoning
classification. Provided, that if final action by the City Council is
not taken on the question within 60 days of the time the matter is set
for public hearing, the permit or license shall issue. If within the 60
day period the City Council shall enact an ordinance amending the Zoning
Ordinance the provisions of said Zoning Ordinance as amended shall
thereafter be in effect. If within the 60 day period the City Council
shall vote on said question and it shall not receive a sufficient number
of votes for passage, the suspension period shall be terminated and
permits shall be issued upon current zoning regulations.
(e) If a permit for a building or structure has been issued for a
particular area but no substantial part of the construction has been
commenced at the time, if the City Council shall set a public hearing on
the question of amending the Zoning Ordinance and map so as to rezone
the area of the permit which rezoning would prohibit the building or use
contemplated by the permit, the permit shall stand suspended and all
construction and other action shall be suspended for a period of 60 days
after the setting of the public hearing. Provided, however, that if
final action by the City Council is not taken on the question within 60
days, construction may be commenced. If within the 60 day period the
City Council shall enact an ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance, the
provisions of the Zoning Ordinance as amended shall be in effect and if
said provisions prohibit the building, structure or use contemplated by
the suspended permit, said permit shall stand automatically revoked and
terminated. If the City Council shall vote on said question and it
shall not receive a sufficient number of votes for passage, the
suspension period shall be terminated and construction may be commenced
under the permit. The suspension of work under the provisions of this
Ordinance may not be invoked and are not applicable if previously said
permit has been suspended under the provisions of this Chapter.
(f) No property or area within the City shall be subject to the suspen-
sion provisions of this Chapter unless 12 months shall have expired
after a previous suspension period, said 12 month period to commence
with the final day of the 60 day suspension period provided for in this
Chapter.

application shall be referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission for
recommendations on both the annexation and the requested zoning. The
Planning and Zoning Commission shall have the same time periods for its
consideration as in any rezoning matter. The Commission may recommend
approval of the requested zoning or the denial thereof. In the event
the Commission recommends denial, it shall make an additional recommen-
dation as to what zoning classification it recommends. A copy of its
report shall be forwarded to the applicant and shall be on the agenda
for the next meeting of the City Council. The Council shall set the
zoning matter for Public Hearing, prescribing the same notice
requirements as for a rezoning application and shall specify the zoning
classification recommended by the Commission. If the Council approves
the zoning classification recommended by the Commission, it shall be set
by ordinance. A zoning classification other than that recommended by
the Commission shall not become effective except by the favorable vote
of three-fourths of the members of the Council; and an application for
acs
179
voluntary annexation not recommended by the Planning and Zoning
Commission shall not become effective unless approved by a favorable
vote of three-fourths of the members of the Council. The resolution
providing for annexation shall be acted upon by the City Council at the
time the Council takes action on the zoning classification.
In the event an applicant does not designate a zoning classification in
the application for voluntary annexation, no Public Hearing shall be
required and the property may be annexed and shall be classified in the
Ag zone and shall be subject to all provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.
(b) Involuntary annexation: Whenever, after Public Hearing thereon,
the City Council shall determine that involuntary annexation proceedings
should be undertaken against lands to be annexed, the matter shall be
referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission for its recommendation as
to the zoning of said lands. Upon receipt of said recommendation, the
City Council shall set the zoning classification for a Public Hearing,
prescribing the same notice requirements as for rezoning application and
specifying the zoning classification(s) recommended by the Commission.
If the Council approves the zoning classification(s) recommended by the
Commission, it shall adopt an ordinance setting forth the various zoning
classifications for said lands. The Council may approve a higher or
more restrictive classification for all or any part of the lands to be
annexed than recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
However, prior to approval of any lower or less restrictive classifi-
cation, the Council must send the matter back to the Commission for its
recommendation on the lower classification(s). In the event the matter
is returned to the Commission subsequent to the Public Hearing, a new
Public Hearing shall be held thereon after the Commission forwards its
report and recommendation to the Council. If the Commission recommends
against the lower classification, it shall not become effective except
by a favorable vote of three-fourths (3/4) of the members of the Council.

DIVISION 2. OVERLAY ZONES
Sec. 36-30. Flood hazard overlay zones
Sec. 36-31. General.
(a) Purpose. The purpose of the flood hazard overlay zones, is to
establish regulations to minimize the extent of floods and the losses
incurred in flood hazard areas and to promote the public health, safety
and welfare.
(b) Intent. The flood hazard overlay zones are intended to permit only
that development within the floodplain which is appropriate in light of
the probability of flood damage. The regulations as set forth herein
shall apply to all property located in the floodplains, as shown on the
Flood Hazard Boundary Map filed with the City Clerk.
'c) Adoption of flood mspa and flood insurance study. The City has
adopted the Flood Hazard Boundary Map, the Flood Insurance Rate Map, the
Flood Boundary and Floodway Map and the Flood Insurance Study dated May
2, 1977, provided by the Federal Insurance Administration as the offic-
ial documents. No ordinance related to these documents shall be adopted
or enforced based upon modified data reflecting natural or man-made
Physical changes without prior approval of change in the documents by
the Federal Insurance Administration.
(d) Lands to which the overlay zones apply. The flood hazard overlay
zones shall apply to all lands shown on the Flood Hazard Boundary Map as
being located within the 100 year flood plain.
(e) Determination of the location of floodplains and floodways. The
boundaries of the floodp eine and floodways shall be determined from
information presented on the Flood Boundary and Floodway Map. In the
absence of specific information, boundaries shall be determined by
scaling distances on the map. Where interpretation is needed as to the
azact 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 zone boundary on any
property. Any person contesting the location of the zone .boundary shall
be given an opportunity to present his/her case to the Board of
Adjustment for interpretation.
(f) Disclaimer of liability. The degree of flood protection required
herein 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. These
regulations do not imply that areas outside the flood hazard overlay
zones will be free from flooding or flood damages. These regulations
shall not create liability on the part of the City or any official or
employee thereof for any flood damages that result from reliance on
these regulations or any administrative decision lawfully made hereunder.

to what elevation.
Sec. 36-32. Definitions.
The following definitions apply only in the interpretation and
enforcement of the regulations of the flood hazard overlay zones:
(a) Area of shallow flooding. The land designated AO on the Flood
Bazar undary Map w ere no clearly defined channel exists and the path
of flooding is unpredictable.

the location of eneroachmeut limits so that floodplain lands on both
sides of a stream or river are capable of conveying a proportionate
Mare of floodflomm. This is determiaed by considering the effect of
encroachment on the hydraulic efficiency of the floodplain along both
sides of a stream for a significant reach.
(h) Flood or flooding. A general sod temporary condition of partial or
complete inundation of normally dry land areas from the overflow of
inland waters, or the unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of
aurface waters from any source.

issued the ederal-- naura inistrator, where rhe boundaries of
the flood areas having special hazards have been designated as areas AO
and Al -A30.
(J) Flood Insurance Rate Hop y _(FIRM). An official map of the City on
which the ed re surance Administrator hes delineated both the
special bazatd areas and the risk premium zones applicable to the City.
(k) Flood management regulations. Subdivision regulations, building
codes, health regulations, special purpose ordinances (such as grading
or erosion control ordinances) and other regulations which provide
standards for the purpose of flood damage prevention and reduction.

ordinary emergency vehicles.
(6) The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise and
sediment transport of the floodwaters expected- at the site.
Sec. 36-36. Non -conforming structures.
(a) If any non -conforming structure is destroyed by any means, includ-
ing floods, to the extent that the cost of restoration or replacement
would equal or exceed 50 percent of the appraised value of the structure
before the structure was damaged the following regulations shall apply:
(1) If a non -conforming structure is in the floodway, the struc-
ture may be reconstructed; 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 Flood
Insurance Rate Map. -
(2) If a structure is located in the floodway fringe it may be
reconstructed provided it is adequately and safely flood -
proofed or elevated in conformance with the requirements
herein.
(b) If any mobile borne or mobile home park is destroyed by any mans
such that the cost of restoration would exceed 50% of its appraisal
value prior to damage, then such mobile home or mobile home park shall
not be rebuilt or replaced if it is located in the floodway. If it is
located in the floodway fringe, it shall be rebuilt in conformance with
the requirements herein.
Sec. 36-37. Variances.
(a) General repuirementa for Rraating of a variance. In all circum-
sGnces varian<ea may only be granted upon a determination that the
variance issuance will not result in increased flood height, additional
threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances,
cause fraud or victimization of the public or conflict with any other
local laws or ordinances. Variances shall not, under any condition, be
issued within the floodway if any increase in flood level during the 100
year flood would result.
(b) Insurance rates. The issuance of a variance to construct a building
below the 100 year flood level will result in increased premium rates
for flood insurance coverage because such construction below the level
of the 100 year flood increases risks to life and property. The applicant
should contact his/her insurance agent for further information.
(c) Approval by the Iowa Department of Water, Air and Waste Management.
All decisions to grant a variance shall
be submitted to the Iowa Department
of Water, Air and Waste Management for final approval. The decision to
grant a variance shall not be binding until such approval is granted by
the Iowa Department of Water, Air and Waste Management.

Sec. 36-38. Airport overlay zones.
Sec. 36-39. Findings.
(a) The creation or establishment of an airport hazard is a public
nuisance causing potential injury to those served by the airport;
(b) -It is necessary in the interest of the public health, safety, and
general welfare that creation of airport hazards be prevented and that
this be accomplished, to the extent legally possible, by proper exercise
of the police power;
(c) The prevention of the creation or establishment of airport hazards,
and the elimination, removal, alteration, mitigation or marking and
lighting -of existing airport hazards are public purposes for which the
City my raise and expend public funds, as an incident to the operation
of the airport, to acquire land or`property interests therein;
(d) Because of the propensity of sanitary landfills for attracting
birds, which in turn are hazardous to aircraft in flight, landfills are
not considered compatible with airport operations; and
(e) It is highly desirable that there be no structures or natural
objects or traverse ways in the clear zones and that no incompatible
uses be allowed in the clear zone.
