Property Analysis
Staff prepared an analysis to summarize existing
nonconforming uses and detail what would change as
part of this rezoning:
CC-2 would better align the zoning with the
existing land uses and compatible development
Sites may continue to operate as legal
nonconformities in CI-1, but 14-5E-5 of the City
Code may limit or prohibit any future
redevelopment, expansion, or alterations under
the existing uses
Future site plans may uncover additional code
compliance concerns

CHAPTER 414
MY ZONING
414.1 Building restrictions. — powers granted — rental properties — consumer
fireworks.
1. a. For the purpose of promoting the health, safety, morals, or the general welfare of the
community or for the purpose of preserving historically significant areas of the community,
any city is hereby empowered to regulate and restrict the height, number of stories, and size
of buildings and other structures, the percentage of lot that may be occupied, the size of
yards, courts, and other open spaces, the density of population, and the location and use of
buildings, structures, and land for trade, industry, residence, or other purposes.
City Zoning 414.1 (State Code)
"For the purpose of promoting the health,
safety, morals, or the general welfare of the
community,.....any city is hereby empowered
to regulate and restrict .... the location and
use of buildings, structures, and land for
trade, industry, residence, or ether
purposes."
Criteria for City Council
The decision may only be made using'.
1. Consistency with the Comprehensive plan
2. Compatibility with the existing neighborhood
(A hazardous waste generator is compatible with the neighborhood?)
Consistent with Comprehensive Plan
1. Create healthy and thriving communities: environment, economy
and society (p.4)
2. Protecting and enhancing the environment (p.7)
3. Housing that is the foundation of healthy, safe, and diverse
neighborhoods. (p. 7)
4. Iowa City's vision for the future includes environmenta
protection as a basic tenet: (p. 19)
S. Growth and development should be managed such that the
environmental quality of the community is not sacrificed.
Measures should be taken in all private and public projects to
ensure that any impacts on regulated environmental features are
minimized. (p. 19)
Consistent with Comprehensive Plan
6) Improve the environmental and economic health of the
community (p. 32)
7) Principles for creating healthy and sustainable
neighborhoods (p 42)
8) Reduce hazardous waste in the community (p.43)
9) Reduce the amount of pollution entering the City's
storm sewer system and waterways. (p. 43)
Council Members have been told
If they vote using criteria such as protecting health
or environment,
?, P&G can sue the City.
But the State Code gives the City the power to Grote
considering health and environment.
Long history of previous City Councils
�, Systematically denigrated the southeast side
} Has this Council been given the impression that
their hands are tied ?
,. The only choice is to continue down the same path?
Opportunity
x change direction to take responsibility
,, protect citizens from avoidable harry
x protect the property values of lower -income areas
,, protect the children in four nearby school

Misleading statements made to Commissioners, & Council need to be addressed:
• P&G continues, since January 17, to withhold exposure risks & specific hazardous
chemicals connected the their facilities.
• Chief Engineer Townsend denied even making chemicals which is manifestly false.
• This deception is contrary to the federal Emergency Planning Community Right -
To -Know Act (EPCRA).
• AIR QUALITY IS EXACTLY RELEVANT & REQUISITE to rezoning and
land use near children, when proposing to site chemical manufacturing industry.
City Council & the public have the Right -To -Know the truth before rezoning.

Environmental Justice as a Planning Issue
"As a public policy issue, environmental justice is often framed and presented in
the context of the law, public health, waste management, and public involvement.
However, other factors contributing to the hardships
experienced by communities with environmental justice concerns
include failures in planning or enforcing proper zoning,
or the incompatibility of land uses."

"EHS are chemicals that could cause serious irreversible health
effects from accidental releases."
This is the most important slide today.
To account for the plastics industry creating thousands of new petrochemicals that
aren't on our "toxic chemical lists" The Right To Know Act formed the Extremely
Hazardous Substances List. "EHS are chemicals that could cause serious irreversible
health effects from accidental releases."
EPCRA Right To Know ACT allows proof that the P&G has not been forthcoming
about the hazards it has on site.
P&G is required by law report his EHSs to the DNR. This is what the Oral B reported

Abstract Go to:
Phthalates are a series of widely used chemicals
that demonstrate to be endocrine disruptors
and are detrimental to human health. Phthalates
can be found in most products that have contact
with plastics during producing, packaging, or
delivering. Despite the short half-lives in tissues,
chronic exposure to phthalates will adversely in-
fluence the endocrine system and functioning of
multiple organs, which has negative long-terin
impacts on the success of pregnancy; child

Phthalates and Their Impacts on Human Health
"The detrimental health and environmental effects
have been increasingly studied to assess the extent of
the impacts on society.
An important phthalate exposure route could be
consisted of ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact
mainly via PCPs [g].
For the residents who live near phthalates
manufacturing industries, phthalates are more likely
to enter the body through absorption via the skin and
the polluted air due to fugitive emission [10]."
"Children should be kept away from waste sites of
factories, especially plastic manufacturers, which can
help to avoid dermal and airborne intake."
Environmental Justice
01161
"...factors contributing to the hardships experienced by
communities with environmental justice concerns include
failures in planning or enforcing proper zoning, or the
incompatibility of land uses. "
"This relationship was understood by delegates who attended the
First National People of Color Environmental Leadership Summit in
1991. An outcome of the Summit was the adoption of seventeen
Principles of Environmental Justice. Approximately one-third of
these principles are relevant to planning, urban policy, and
management of the built environment. The prevalence of this
theme within the Principles of Environmental Justice suggests:
-> Environmental justice strives to address environmental
challenges in an upstream manner by being proactive;
4 Environmental justice has a long history of targeting untenable
practices in housing, land use, transportation, industrial siting,
health care, and sanitation; and
-> Environmental justice is a cross -cutting issue as evidenced by
the fact that the disparate impacts of redlining, infrastructure
decline, deteriorating housing, lead poisoning, industrial pollution,
concentrated poverty and unemployment are related problems."
