Bar Check Report: November 2020
FROM: Sergeant Paul Batcheller
RE: November 2020** Bar Check Report
DATE: December 8, 2020
This report tracks the performance of Iowa City liquor license establishments in
monitoring their patrons for violations of Iowa City’s ordinances on Possession of Alcohol Under
the Legal Age (PAULA) and Persons Under the Legal Age in Licensed or Permitted
Establishments (Under 21).
“Bar checks” are defined by resolution as an officer-initiated check of a liquor establishment for
PAULA or other alcohol-related violations. This includes directed checks of designated liquor
establishments, and checks initiated by officers as part of their routine duties. It does not
include officer responses to calls for service.
The bar check ratios are calculated by dividing the number of citations issued to patrons at an
establishment during a period of time by the number of bar checks performed during the same
time period. If at any time a venue with a granted exception certificate has a PAULA ratio more
than .25 during a 12-month period, their certificate is reviewed for revocation.
Note, while the resolution requires that bar checks and citations of the University of Iowa
Department of Public Safety (DPS) be included in these statistics, the DPS ceased performing
bar checks and issuing these citations to patrons in May of 2014.
**It should be noted that COVID-19 pandemic-related changes and mandates from the State of
Iowa greatly impacted businesses and the Iowa City Police Department procedures during the
time of this evaluation by reducing person-to-person contact and requiring various business
closures.

(Date)
Staff is providing the following information in advance of the City Council's consult with the Planning &
Zoning Commission regarding the pending Carson Farm annexation. Much of this information was
prepared as part of the build -out analysis of the on-going Fringe Area Agreement process.
Past Development Trends
Table 1 below shows the annual number of building permits for new residential construction the City
processed over the last 5 years. New residential construction occurs in newly platted and created
subdivisions on formerly vacant land. Most permit activity, 83%, is for single-family homes with a 5 -year
average of approximately 130 homes built per year. Almost all new single-family dwellings are
immediately occupied upon completion. In contrast, dwelling units in Multi -family developments are
rented and occupied over a period of time after construction known as `lease -up' in a percentage
amount commonly referred to as a vacancy rate. The City does not collect formal data on the lease up
period or vacancy rate. There has been a recent increase in new multi -family units especially in the
Downtown and Riverfront Crossing District with redevelopment using the Form Based Code. For this
same time period, 56% of total dwelling units constructed have been multi -family units.
In 2019, City staff also conducted an analysis of development in existing subdivisions known as infill
development. This occurs on vacant or redeveloped lots surrounded by already built homes. The
analysis found that from 2010-2018, there were only 20 single-family residential infill projects built in the
City, on average 2.5 homes per year. While the analysis also showed that there were opportunities for
some additional residential construction through infill redevelopment, there are likely challenges in the
shape, size, or locations, of those lots which make it difficult to meet the City's current development
standards especially if they contain steep slopes, woodlands, or have poor access to City streets.
In summary, the construction of new single-family housing has largely occurred in new subdivisions
where there is sufficient land assembled to accommodate the necessary infrastructure and amenities.

Supply of Available Land Within the Citv
Appendix "A" contains the size and dwelling unit counts of the new residential subdivisions developed
in the City over the past decade. As explained above, this has largely but not exclusively been in the
form of single-family homes. On average, new subdivisions typically included at least fifteen (15) acres
of land. Nine (9) acres of which was eventually used for housing after the installation of streets and
other infrastructure to support them was installed. That results in roughly five (5) single-family dwelling
units per acre on average being developed in new subdivisions within the city limits.
Staff identified land within the City from its recently completed buildout analysis to identify vacant
properties that contain either a Single -Family or Interim Development zoning designation and at least
15 acres. Appendix "B" provides a map of where such properties are located. There are fourteen (14)
sites within Single -Family zones and sixteen (16) sites within Interim zones of that size (Table 3). After
eliminating land that likely contains regulated sensitive features and can't be developed, like steep
slopes, woodlands, and stream corridors, and land needed for the streets, the total estimated acres of
land available for development within the City is approximately 451 acres. When applying the
estimated 5 dwelling units per acre density of development it is possible that the City might be able to
accommodate approximately 2,255 single-family residential dwelling units. However, the intention of
owners of this land to develop have not been verified.

Plan estimates an average of 2.32 persons per household.
December 14, 2020

Historically, most undeveloped land is not annexed into the City by its owner until just prior to its
development. Property tax rates are usually lower in the unincorporated County and land is often used
for agricultural purposes up until the time that is sold for development. Additionally, unlike other cities,
the 2008 recession did not result in a large inventory of improved but not developed lots in Iowa City.
Population Growth Projections
The Johnson County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) prepares population projections for the
region as part of its long-range transportation planning activities. Appendix "C" shows the MPO's five-
year, fifteen -year, and twenty -five-year population estimates for Iowa City. By 2045, Iowa City is
estimated to have a population of 95,700 residents, an increase of 22,285 residents from 2014 The
projections also estimate a house -hold occupancy of 2.32 residents per dwelling unit for single-family
homes. Based on the previously estimated number of 2,255 potential dwelling units for new single-
family residential development within the city limits, an estimate of the City's capacity to absorb
projected population within this housing type would yield approximately 5,231 residents by the year
2045. This would mean that approximately 17,054 new residents would need to find housing elsewhere
either in annexed land, another type of housing, or in other cities.
The 2019 buildout analysis estimated room to potentially accommodate over 10,000 dwelling units and
over 24,000 new residents in the Riverfront Crossings area if this area were to fully maximize its
allowed development potential. Given the urban nature of this district and its appeal for student
housing near campus, certain demographics of the Iowa City population may not find this area
appealing to live.
While the City continues to pursue policy and regulations that will increase infill redevelopment and
efficient greenfield development, recent past development patterns have indicated that there is a
demand, and a current need, to continue to plan for accommodating population growth through new
subdivision development. With this in mind, the City maintains influence over land falling within two (2)
miles of its current city limits. It is anticipated that land within the Growth Boundary Area may one day
be annexed into the city limits. The City/County Fringe Area Agreement contains those details and
areas for orderly and efficient expansion. Table 4 below from the buildout analysis shows the City's
existing Growth Area could potentially result in 23,771 new residents occupying 4,552 new dwelling
units at full buildout.

Summary
Iowa City is projected to gain over 22,000 new residents by 2045. Rudimentary development capacity
analysis shows that existing properties with Single -Family and Interim Development zones have some
capacity to accommodate new subdivision development. However, it is likely that some of these
properties are situated on non-standard lots with challenging topography or prominent sensitive areas
December 14, 2020
Page 4
that make development challenging. In addition, as Table 5 indicates, under a full build -out scenario,
the Riverfront Crossings area can accommodate over 24,000 new residents. While the City has seen
generous residential development occur within its central core neighborhoods, 83% of recent residential
building permits have been for single-family residential development, with much of this development
occurring in greenfield areas. This suggests a demand for this type of housing does exist.
Table 5 — Growth Capacity
City staff will continue to advocate for policies directed at pursuing smart growth options that bolster
infill development opportunities, create walkable, attractive neighborhoods, and promote missing middle
housing where appropriate. Furthermore, it is in the City's interest to provide a range of housing
opportunities and choices for residents of all life stages and income levels. With these best practices in
mind, it is not pragmatic to assume the City's population capacity needs will be filled entirely, or
perhaps even largely, by infill redevelopment. Additionally, given that the existing Single -Family and
Interim Development zoned land supply is limited, the City will likely need to annex additional land
within its Growth Area to capture its projected population, apply smart growth policies and principles,
and avoid contributing to the pressure for expansion of low-density suburban and rural developments.

' Lineargrowth trends based on years2000, 2010, and 2014 census population data/estimates
• North Liberty and Tiffin's growth trends deviated from lineargrowth trends based on local knowledge/municipal staff
Sources: Us Census Bureau, Community comprehensive plans, 2045 MPOJC Travel Demand Model
Trends and Projections
MPOJC developed long-term population projections based on linear growth trends from 2000
to 2014. Based on these trends, the percentage of metro population residing in Iowa City by
the year 2045 is expected to decrease to 54%, while North Liberty's proportion of the metro
population is expected to increase to 22%. All other municipalities are projected to maintain
relatively similar proportions of metro area population.
By the year 2045, growth trends indicate that the metro area will grow by 53%, or 67,770
people, to approximately 176,400 persons. Long-range transportation planning is therefore an
essential tool for ensuring the transportation network of today can meet the needs of tomor-
row as population growth will place increasing demands on our transportation network.
