Otdnanc6 amending Title 14, Zoning of the Iowa City code related to ing116-f6inilVs'ite development standards (REZ21-0003) Whereas, in April 2018, the City adopted a neighborhood stabilization ordinance and capped rental permits at 30% in certain neighborhoods for single-family and duplex uses; and Whereas, in April 2019, the State legislature adopted a law (SF 447) that prohibited municipalities from adopting or enforcing rental permit caps; and Whereas, in May 2019, the City adopted a moratorium on the issuance of new rental permits for single-family and duplex units in areas exceeding the 30% rental cap to provide time to explore strategies which ensured older homes and duplexes provide healthy and safe living environments for all occupants; maintained neighborhood characteristics and housing options suitable for attracting a diverse demographic in older single-family neighborhoods; and prevented the over -burdening of city infrastructure and operational resources; and Whereas, the zoning code allows parking spaces within the front setback area as long as it leads directly to a parking space and at least 50% of the front setback area remains open space; and Whereas, in December 2019, the City adopted an ordinance (ZCA19-04) requiring that any additional paved area within the front setback area of single-family homes and duplexes must be separated by at least 9 -feet from any conforming parking spaces or aisles to ensure these areas are not used for parking, with the exception of walkways that provide access to a dwelling unit; and Whereas, ZCA19-04 has created new issues in other newer neighborhoods of the City where the standards have prevented reasonable use and expansion of paved surfaces; and Whereas, ZCA19-04 has not had the intended effect of promoting neighborhood stabilization within established neighborhoods in Iowa City; and Whereas, the City would like to repeal portions of ZCA19-04; and Whereas, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a meeting on May 6, 2021 and recommended approval of the repealing ZCA19-04; and Whereas, it is no longer in the City's best interest to retain these provisions.
