It was moved by Connell and seconded by White that the meeting be adjourned. Motion carried. come back when I had further developments to report. Since that time our group has been interviewing potential developers and people to do an economic and market feasibility study. We have had a number of developers here, have made trips out of town to see their developments, and have talked to others who could help us with our evaluation of their individual potential as developers of our Urban Renewal area. After much investigation we have made our choice and have selected Link Programs, Inc. from Chicago. Wq believe them to be the group with whom we can best work, whose goals are most similar to ours, and whose end product will be the sort of development the citizens of Iowa City want. We anticipate that their investigators will begin arriving here next week to look over the area and begin interviewing City Officials, University personnel, businessmen, shoppers and residents of the area to determine possible uses of the land and the type and size of needed space. We ask that the City Officials, the University administration and the citizens aid us and them in this first phase, the "Market Feasibility Study" which will help us determine the best land utilization for the entire Urban Renewal area. April 3, 1973 The Honorable City Council o City Clerk 410 East Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Gentlemen: Rental of Iowa City Landfill The purpose of this letter is to request that the City of Iowa City enter into an agreement with, myself for the rental of unneeded property at the current Iowa City Sanitary Landfill for grazing purposes. I would suggest, that $5.00 per acre would be a suitable rental rate with the renter being responsible for the maintenance Of all fencing around the periphery of the area in question. � (4ditionally, the renter would be responsible for seeding of the area in question, which was under cultivation last year, and would also be responsible for mowing any noxious weeds which might grow during the coming year. The area I,am interested in would comprise about 106 acres which will not be needed for landfilling purposes during the next year.i I have visited with the City Engineer and he informed me that the correct procedure to follow to rent this property would be 'a letter to the City Council of Iowa City. I will look, forward to receiving your reply. DISBURSEMENTS TOiE'APPROVEri '� 117 CITY COUNCIL MEETING GENERAL APRIL 2, 1973 all Motors Taxi Cab Inspections 15.75:i tern. Conf. of Bldg.

Preliminary Land Use Plan Package for consideration. Members of the City Council: (3191 351.8556 Enclosed herein is the latest revision of the Land Use package of the Area Transportation Study. The package is similar to proposals which have been discussed with the City Council at earlier presentations. The plan and its documents represent many months of effort by the three study committees. The pack- age consists of the proposed land use goals and objectives, the narrative of the proposed land use plan, and the proposed land use map and map notes. This set of materials is transmitted to the City Council by the Regional Planning Commission for the Council's review and consideration. It should be noted that this is a preliminary land use plan for -- use in the Area Transportation Study. As transportation propo- sals are developed to fit the plan, some necessary adjustments in the land use plan are likely to emerge. Thus a final plan, including both transportation and land use elements will be forthcoming for your consideration at a later stage. The Land Use package will be presented to the Regional Planning Commission for adoption at its meeting of April 18, 1973. Any comments on this proposal may be brought by the Council's delegates to the Commission at that meeting. In order to present and explain these proposals, the staff of the Regional Planning Commission is most willing to meet with the Council, or any of its boards and commissions, at any time.

METHOD The plan is being formulated with the assistance and coopera- tion of all related agencies and groups to assure that the end product is a'feasible plan with a maximum of public under- standing and support. In i. Page 2 3., ASSUMPTIONS A. POPULATION The population study conducted as "a part of the Area Transportation Study projected a population increase of.17,500 persons for the study area over the next' 25 years."i For purposes of the land use and transporta- tion plan, however, it is assumed that a`somewhat greater population increase may be experienced, and thnsefore the 'plan should,be designed to accomodate an increase of 21,000,persons by;,the year 1995. This assumption of a 21,000;population increase during the planning period has''a dramatic effect on this: plan,' especially as compared to prior plans for the area. Prior to the study, most plans were based on the assump- tionof 30,000 students at the University of Iowa by .the year 1990. It is now estimated that.'the"enrollment will not: increase- `"substantially -above the"present 'of" .level 20,000 students, Consequently, past growth trends are not `,expecte'd to, continue.. This pro) ection;is more com-' pletely described in a"separate'report. B. LAND REQUIREMENTS This section is intended to set the stage for the land use plan by indicating the general magnitude or 'scale of;projected urban development for the study -area during the next 25 years. As in most urban areas,; the ,primary _;demand for;land will be for residential purposes.' Although other activities' will also require new land, homes, apartments, and mobile home courts will occupy the majority of the land converted for urban development purposes. Land needs for new;shop- ping'areas, Iindustrial parks, etc. `will -be relatively' insignificant in terms of acres, but their placement is obviously very important. That will be discussed in.'a later section. As mentioned above, the land use plan is based on the assumption of ,a population increase of 21,000 persons by the year 1995. Because land develop- ment cannot be precisely predicted or controlled for ` small geographical areas,the land use plan should include surplus land to allow for deviations from specific acre- age forecasts for specific areas. In other words, the sum of the parts (geographic sub -areas) provides more +� Page.3 land than is probably needed, but for any ,one part, total development; may be very' likely and therefore, should be an element of the plan. The effect of surplus land in the plan will be to allow some flexibility in detailed small area:land use planning. The surplus will also give further assurance that there will not be an artificial re- striction"on the market supply"of'land which would affect land prices. It should be noted also that the supply will not "dwindle" as land''' -is used over the 25 -year period, but rather that new plans :will .continue,to -be-prepared duringthe planning period with proposals for' subsequent urban,developmant`. The distributionof new residential land needs among various categories is an important element of the plan. The procedure used, here is, to combine the recent trends at both the national and local level so -as to gain,some..perspective-on.future,demand,,.particularly, concerning the split between single-family and multi- family dwelling unit types. :The national, and local trends are',indicated in the following table: New Dwelling Units* Housing Starts U.S. Total Coralville Iowa Cit Single Flulti- y Family Famil 1&2 Family Units 1$2 Family Multi -Family Number % Number' % Number $" Number $ 1960 1961 79% 74% 21% 26% n.a. -- -- n.a. -- 175 93% 1 11 2 7% 1962 68% 32% n.a.

Residential areas designated'Very Low Density are those of rugged or unique topography, where tra itional'single'-family densities are neither possible nor desirable. Such areas have been designated on the >land 'use plan, but they are in addition to the acreages required for the projected single family devel- opment. The ,addition may accommodate as many as 13000 persons. ** High density residential is projected only for the CBD -Campus core, as outlined in Section 6, Specific Locational Criteria. That section statedan objective of providing 800-1,000 new ` dwelling units in or near the downtown, and this objective is reflected in the above table: A few additional high density ' units (300) are included in the table to allow for minimal construction on a few peripheral sites. 4 GENERAL LOCATIONAL CRITERIA A. CONTIGUITY The, major premise of the plan is that it ,will best serve the, people of the area if urban development is contiguous; relatively compact lather than dispersed over a large area. This objective is based on the theory that services of all kinds can most efficiently and conviently be provided to areas which are contiguous to one another. Services areadefined here to include such things as transportation public'utilities, schools, parks, and convenient shopping. The evidence is obvious in the case of a -utility, such as a sewer line, which is costlyto'construct `across open land to reach a user in a remote' location. The same consideration applies;to the other services, such as transportation,•schools, police, fire, transit and solid waste. The objective of contiguity is not to be confused with. -crowding or higher density. There must be a balance between the need for<.open space or the 'feeling 'of "openness and the need for efficiency of compactness. The distinction' for purposes of this plan is that a logical open space plan is essential,; whereas an unplanned scattering of development is inefficient and also fails to provide permanent open space, B. EFFICIENCY Beyond the concern of contiguity,,above, ,there is the general objective of efficiency, both in terms of collec- tive or public cost= and in terms _of individual or family costs. In' the public shpere,,.the_programming,of public facilities' should be considered in the planning process so, that these facilities and public services, can achieve the greatest benefit at the smallest cost. Existing faci- lities must be inventoried and their capacities measured to determine those sections of the urbanizing area which can tap ,`unused reserves in capacity, whether this be measured in classroom space for `school students or on the diameter of a water main. Conversely,' existing problems should be plotted so as not to,aggrevate present conditions with unnecessary growth. These 'measures do not relate as - strongly to minor facilities, but rather to major ones such as interceptor sewer lines, 'senior high schools, and arterial streets. The plan, then, is being designed to take advantage of those.areas where growth can be easily accommodated, and to avoid those areas where growth is a costly '(and disruptive) venture. C. MIENITY While amenity overlaps with some elements of contiguity and efficiency, it especially includes the natural built- in amenity which some candidate areas possess over others. As a first step, those important natural features such as waterways (rivers, creeks, lakes) and wooded areas have been designated for preservation and protection from urban' development. This open space network is essentially the same as that in the Regional Planning Commission's adopted Parks Rd ecreation, an Open Space Plan. page 6 5. CENTRAL AREA REDEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES For purposes of understanding, the central area is defined to include the locus of CBD -Campus area, ,and those commercial/residential: areas'generally bordered by Brown Street on the north,; Dodge and Governor on the east; Kirkwood on the south and the Iowa River on the West. Within the central area ,there are two recognized sub- areas,>viz.,,the.CBD-Campus area and the surrounding transition zone. This central area is an essential community resource, being the focus of shopping, government, finance, entertainment, and housing. The University of Iowa and University -.,related services dominate the, population and employment base>of the study area. As noted in the supportingdocument on regional goals and objectives, there; is significant.public interest in the central area and the -goal is(to:"enhance and revitalize" this area. There are numerous opportunities ',to'preserve present:values and -also -create -new benefits:for the community-at-aarge. The ,present urban:. renewal,..p.rojects are further evidence of the strong public committment of resources toward* `imp'roving'the'central area. In that'.the-CBD-Campus area will continue as a focal point of shouldsbeshrovided'in a varol; convenient, close-in,housing j shopping.' and school; p iety of unit` types, :'styles; and costs. In conjunction with'residential.development in the.' area, private open'spaces should accompany public or common open spaces as a primary theme of'all 'design ,concepts. Another,primary concern, expressed in .the separate document on goals.and objectives, is the re -generation and restoration of existing neighborhoods and homes. The conservation of many residential areas in the central area coupled with the maintenance of, private openspaces will insure the enhance- ment of'these'valuable community resources. Page 7 - An in.ensive study of the C13D should explore those policies and programs which would result in an optimum choice for those who would like :to live in or 'near the downtown area. Such a study should be guided by the objective of 'providing 800-1,000 new dwelling 'units in this central, area within the 25 year planning period (1970-1995), or about 30 to 40 units per year -- a rate similar to recent experience. The justification for better housing in the central area is twofold. First, there is the built-in convenience and efficiency with living near.the places of school and/or work. Second;: the alternatives: to well-designed, close -in housing are either very dense development on the more distant periphery of the downtown area, without,:any amenities of open space or locations of special convenience; or remote multi -family developments at the: rim of. the urban area with the obvious' implications for the transportation system. For both reasons, new policies and programs for the central area 'should be explored. The actual and desirable capacity of the core area to accommodate new housing and some mixed -uses would be determined in the course of'the study, The study` should direct its attention to the total environment, especially to include the need for: a. convenient services (groceries, etc.) b. protection from:noise- c. internal private and public open space pedestrian accessways (perhaps with vertical separation from vehicles) preservation of existing resources such as sound structures, unique architectural features, and historic sites Page 8" 6. SPECIFIC LOCATIONAL CRITERIA A. PRIORITY. SYSTEM FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AREAS In order to systematically assess each potential development area around the 'fringe 'of present urban development, a framework of priority classifications was created.-Through.this,procedure, various character- istics of, each candidate area are evaluated and its appropriate ranking is selected. This: framework of three, priority_ categories is de- signed to evaluate the likelihood and desirability of urban uses for all potential development areas. These three categories are described below, - 1 PRIORITY 1. Convenient and least 'costly to develop' utilities (primarily sewers) are near or feasible area is served by 'adequate systems: streets; storm drainage (creeks), public.facilities '.(schools, parks), "fire, police and emergency services (publicservices)• PRIORITY 2. Possible but inconvenient to develop major extensions of utilities (primarily sewers) are needed - other systems (streets, storm drainage, public, facilities)'' are already at capa- city. PRIORITY 3. Difficult and undesirable to develop major extension of utilities (primarily sewers) are needed at great cost - other systems (streets, storm drainage, public facilities) are already beyond capacity and corrective measures would be costly and disruptive. not needed for urban development due to its relative distance from the center of the urban area, and because of more con- venient'land elsewhere. Page 10 21. S ecial Criteria for, Residential Uses in Areas 'op graphy 37 Fqetc. 0 M :er reas s Need for low densities:. Within a close perimeter of this developed urban area are numerous sites which include valuable.. but sensitive environmental resources. On such landscapes the development of homesites by tradi- tional methods is not wise or feasible. Generally, because of rugged topography or the extensive tree cover, very low densities are appropriate, because only y small portions of these areas may be e without maj6r.reshaping of the natural landscape. Special design standards and impact study: The .prime con sideration Ln the use of this land should be the environmental effects of each pro -7 posed development. ' These areas, should be. given a Special zoni g.classifica tion to require a syste- matic process of design review to assure that essential features -of the:land�,are not disturbed. Prime considerationmust be given.to the drainage pattern of the area', severity of slope and soil type, as well as the hardiness of the existing flora to support such development,, In,general the., development r should. eflect'and compliment the land- scape, particularlyin the building of roadways and the siting of buildings. Relationship to:Rural Land Use An important factor related to this policy is the need to link with rural policy proposals for the entire country. Recent Proposals have suggested that all urban uses should be accommodated within municipalities and that,the rural portion of the country should generally be reserved for rural use only. If adopted, such a policy would support the need for large site zoning within municipalities, since this is the prime characteristic of the pre- sent exurban home sites. i'• Page.12 C. COMMERCIAL CRITERIA Commercial services, generally being sources of.com- paratively intense activity, need'to.be carefully located throughout the community. Although sensitive' design of commercial facilities (service station, shopping centers, etc.) can,avoid much of the tradi tional'gaudiness and advertisingclutter, the intensity of the activity still requires concrol over placement ' in order .to preserve harmonious relationships.between these and' -other land uses. Additionally, the supporting document on regional goals and objectives, proposed the encouragement of compatible and convenient commercial services";,through specific classifications of uses and -high . development standards Consequently, the.', following cri teria are designed to categorize commercial activities> into appropriate 'groupings with specific location standards. As discussed earlier,.there.is a:general need .to have standards of both design and location for 'commercial acti- vities. Beyond the locational criteria°listed below, de- sign review procedures; perhaps through"!!planned commer- cial" zoning districts, should be implemented''. to achieve the,overall.values proposed in the separate document'on. ,regional -goals and objectives. Consideration.should.be given to such requirements,for de's'ign'rev'iex on all future commercial developments. 1. Highway Commercial a. ,Minimize the extent of present and future strip commercial activities, along thoroughfares. b. Future freeway -oriented services should be provided at a;; limited number of freeway: inter changes with the 'objective of keeping two entrances to the urban Dubuque Street and , Melrose,Avenue) free of commercial development. -Iowa City has had such a policy for North Dubuque Street.for many years, primarily for reasons of aesthetics and compatible land usa`patterns. A nein policy would be needed for the future inter- change of Melrose Avenue and Freeway 518. 2. Service Commercial a. Outside of the central area, future service commercial activities should generally be located • in the vicinity of present locations, namely the South Linn Street and Sand Road areas in City and the vicinity of Quarry Road in Coralville. Service commercial uses would include wholesale firms, auto dealers, repair shops, etc. D. INDUSTRIAL:CRITGRI`A -- Industrial ,uses need to be�located in ,appropriate areas to serve the needs of the ,general, community ,and the dustry itself. Criteria:"for selecting in- selecting develop- ment"areas include the need for: 1• generally flat land 2. transportation access preferably including rail- road access 3. relative proximity to.population areas which can serve as a housing supply for industrial employment. As discussed more completely in the population report, industrial land needs in this:urban,area can .be accommo- dated within presently planned areas; namely the industrial park in southeast Iowa City and the scattered stes'in`the Coralville area. 'During the 25-year planning period, the development of industrial sites should be carefully monitored so that additional areas could be made, available in advance Of immediate need. At the current time, it does not appear likely that substantial new areas will'.be required,'recog nizing, of course, that a small number:, of very large indus- trial developments could begin to deplete the reserve. Office/research developments, such as American College Testing or Westinghouse Learning,' Corporation,.are indus-- trial'-activities in some respects, but they have different locational needs than manufacturing or distribution facili- ties;' The plan proposes that such uses by planned and permitted ,on a separate basis, namely that 'similar -locations be made available for the future. The plan indicates two Adjacent areas: 1.' Adjacent to the Westinghouse Learning' Corporation site, and 2. the vicinity of the southeast quadrant of the propsed Freeway-518/Highway 1 interchange. Special consideration heeds to be given park"potential of the vacant land northwest hof theuIowaal. City Airport, between the airport and Highway l'. The presence of the airport flight paths make the area 'unsuit- able for residential uses'. Similarly, the development of: an extensive commercial strip leading to the per free way interchange is not a desirable option. Te develop- ment of a well-planned industrial park, however, ,could result in a compatible use of the land without damaging the character or effectiveness of Highway 1 as a traffic artery.

It is our desire to make certain points with regard to defining the roles of city cormissions and boards, and the 'relationships of these bodies to the council. Let us,begin with certain comments on the place and nature of responsibility of commissions and boards, with the hope, that the council will concur in these ideas. We hope that.the council will support a statement of this nature: A city commission or board is.seen by,the council as the major entity`in the area,in"which it operates, ,so that the council does rely on it, directly and specifically, for proper action in'its.areas for constant surveillance of `its. area of responsibility and for recommendation to the council on .desirable or necessary,changes in policy. The responsibility, then, is upon the ;cotW ssion or the board rather than on members of::the city staff. (At the -same time, the great importance of aid from the staff is recognized. A commissionshould feel free to ask any staffsigned a erson thto work with the commission to do a specific task for p , the commission If a staff person cannot _f it the work into his schedule, he should say' so* If the commission sees adequate need, there should then be consultation with the city manager, and, as necessary, the council itself, to discuss the need for personnel to carry out certain efforts.) In line with this relationship, the council will maintain contact with each board and commission, for an exchange of views on major problems and upcoming needs for reconsideration of policy.` Such a session should be held at least. once, and preferable twice, each year. It is important also for each board or commission to have adequate contact with citizens, 'so that the board receives sufficient input on current opera- ting decisions, and also on plans for changes in policy. The identification of problems, and of needs, and the making of suggestions, are,the concern of ali citizens. These suggestions should be openly expressed at meetings of commissions and boards,' and where pertinent, at meetings of the council, in person and by letter. To facilitate this effort, it is essential that each board carry out an ade- quate orientation for each new member, preferably well before the first meet- ing attended as a member. Such a new member should be briefed by the chairman or some other knowledgeable person,.on duties and responsibilities, range of activities, and major continuing and current problems; access to past minutes of meetings should be ,volunteered. (A copy of-this"statement should be 'pro- vided to each new board member.) To further improve performance, an over-all organization of boards and com- missions (or at least of their chairman), for interchange of. views, for dis- cussion of common interests, and for', consideration of overlapping or generally related assignments, should most certainly be developed. As for operating procedures after problems have been identified in communica- tion to the council these suggestions are made: 1, when a concern has been .vo voiced o i r a problem identifieds identified,the council -shou 1 -take one of the following actions: (a) schedule a time for the council to consider the matter., prior.to making any decision; (b) indicatethatat this time. this problem is not of prime concern, and defer: Consideration; or (c). ask a commission,' or the city staff, making'specifically clear which has the res ponsibility,'to 1) take care of the concern or 2) study the problem and make suggestions. 2. If the problem is assigned for study and recommendations, all citizens hould be encou sraged to provide input* If the problem 1s referred to staff, then as soon as feasible the responsible.staff`person'should".be openly iden- tified, to dentified,'to facilitate public input. If the matter is referred to a commis sionp-then all input should be to the commission. Input should be sought.' Councilmen should;provide all available' information of,their ;own, ;when per- tinent,'to commission or staff. There shouid be a full and open sharing of all views and all alternatives.. 3. When the 'duty is assigned,`a reasonable date for making a report should be a part of the assignment. In this way, priority would be assigned by the council. Such a procedure would necessitate the keeping of a public list of concerns, and an open schedule of dates for submission of reports.." 4. The report should contain a summary of thevariousalternatives consideree and, where feasible, a specific recommendation. The report should be made ;direct to the, council by the commission or the staff` concerned; members as appropriate should be present for the making of the report, and be prepared to amplify. When a report is completed, .the 'council will receive the report but, as a matter of policy, will not consider it until their next meeting. This procedure provides opportunity for.additional citizen reaction. 5. On each report, the council will take positive action, either (a) accept- ing the recommendation (b) referring back or (c) selecting another alterna- tive. When a recommendation is not accepted, usually (b) referring back, is seen as the wiser choice. Such a referral should be accompanied by specific additional instructions and, preferably, be preceded by aden.iate discussion between the council and the preparers of the report. 6. Implementation for action should then be assigned, usually to staff. T Duar. Mr. Mayor: The Governor's Conference on Aging will convene Wednesday, May 16, at the Hotel Fort Des Moines in Des Moines: A highlight of the meeting will occur after lunch when we will hear from Dr. Arthur S. Flemming, Special Consultant to the President for the Aging._ Another _leader from Washington will also speak in the afternoon. `Phe morning 'program 'should be especially interesting. The speakers will review how some Iowa communities have faced up to specific problems of seniors ;and attempted to solve them.Transportation, meals, health, reassurance, pre -retirement education; income, visitation, volunteer opportunities, and spiritual well-being are among the subjects that will be ,covered. Much progress is being made toward improving the quality of the lives, of the elderly,. but more must be done, of course, and I hope you can be present May 16 to help consider future steps that might be taken.
