redevelopment opportunities in areas where services are already in place; and -
-:

includes reconstruction of the median and construction of a dedicated left -turn lane..on Camp
Cardinal Blvd. to be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer; and

conditions regarding that prior to issuance of a building permit the Owner shall reconstruct the

(REZ24-0001)
Whereas, TSB Holdings, LLC has requested the rezoning of property located at 900 N. Dodge
St, 902 N. Dodge St., 905 N. Governor St, 906 N. Dodge St., 908 N. Dodge St., 909 N. Governor
St., and 911 N. Governor St. from Medium Density Single -Family Residential (RS-8) zone, High

20) zone, and Multi -Family Residence (R313) zone to Medium Density Multi -Family Residential
(RM-20) zone and High Density Single -Family Residential (RS-12) zone with a Planned
Development Overlay (OPD); and
Whereas, due to prior court rulings, portions of the subject property remain zoned an obsolete
multi -family zoning designation from the 1970s (R313), while other portions of the subject property
are zoned with various modern zoning designations; and
Whereas, the City is acting as a co -applicant on this rezoning due to 1) concerns regarding
the existing 1970s zoning and the haphazard development that the current zoning configuration
would allow, 2) interest in applying a modern zoning designation to any redevelopment, and 3)
City Council Strategic Plan goals related to establishing partnerships and collaborations within
the community, particularly in the interest of advancing housing goals, which would include
increasing the housing supply; and
Whereas, the IC2030 Comprehensive Plan identifies that the subject property is appropriate
for multi -family development at a density of 16-24 dwelling units per acre along N. Dodge Street
and residential development at a density of 2-8 dwelling units per acre along N. Governor Street;
and
Whereas, the Central District Plan identifies the area as appropriate for a mix of Single -Family
and Duplex Residential, Open Space, and Low to Medium Density Multi -Family with a development
density of 8-24 dwelling units per acre; and
Whereas, there are a number of goals and strategies that align with the proposed rezoning
including encouraging compact, efficient development; ensuring a mix of housing types; supporting
infill development, and improving access to parks; and
Whereas, the Central District Plan specifically references the subject property and states that
"Another pocket of multi -family development in the northern part of the district along Dodge Street
is zoned R313, which is an obsolete zoning designation no longer used in the City Code. This area
should be rezoned to a valid designation such as RM-20, which acknowledges the density of the
existing multi -family development on the property"; and
Ordinance No.
Page 2
Whereas, the rezoning creates a need to resubdivide the property prior to issuance of a building
permit to ensure the subject property conforms to the zoning boundaries and a need to convert an
existing duplex to one dwelling unit prior to the approval of the final plat to'ensure conformance with
density requirements; and
Whereas, the rezoning creates a public need for aAffbnal ri6VA_0 1d1d1 Ql easements along
N. Governor Street to accommodate a sidewalk; and
Whereas, the rezoning creates a public need for a temporary,corlstr`u'ction easement along N.
Dodge Street to facilitate the planned reconstruction of the street that the City is pursuing in
partnership with the Iowa Department of Transportation; and
Whereas, the rezoning creates a public need to address the existing water service lines for the
apartment buildings along N. Dodge Street, which are currently tapped off of the water main in N.
Governor Street, which must be abandoned and new service lines established that are tapped off
of the water main in N. Dodge Street; and
Whereas, the rezoning creates a public need to enhance the southern view of the subject
property, due to its proximity to Happy Hollow Park, by screening the proposed retaining wall to the
S3 standard; and
Whereas, the Planning and Zoning Commission has determined that, with appropriate
conditions regarding a re -final plat, the conversion of the duplex, dedication of right-of-way and
easements, and the establishment of water services lines that are tapped off of the water main in
N. Dodge Street, the requested zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; and
Whereas, Iowa Code §414.5 (2025) provides that the City of Iowa City may impose
reasonable conditions on granting a rezoning request, over and above existing regulations, in
order to satisfy public needs caused by the requested change; and
Whereas, the owner, TSB Holdings, LLC has agreed that the property shall be developed in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Conditional Zoning Agreement attached hereto to
ensure appropriate development in this area of the City.
Now, therefore, be it ordained by the City Council of the City of Iowa City, Iowa:

N. Dodge Street to facilitate the planned reconstruction of the street that the City is pursuing in
partnership with the Iowa Department of Transportation; and
Whereas, the rezoning creates a public need to address the existing water service lines for
the apartment buildings along N. Dodge Street, which are currently tapped off of the water main in
N. Governor Street, which must be abandoned and new service lines established that are tapped
off of the water main in N. Dodge Street; and
Whereas, the rezoning creates a public need to enhance the southern view of the subject
property, due to its proximity to Happy Hollow Park, by screening the proposed retaining wall to the
S3 standard; and
Whereas, the Planning and Zoning Commission has determined that, with appropriate
conditions regarding a re -final plat, the conversion of the duplex, dedication of right-of-way and
easements, and the establishment of water services lines that are tapped off of the water main in
N. Dodge Street, the requested zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; and
Whereas, Iowa Code §414.5 (2025) provides that the City of Iowa City may impose
reasonable conditions on granting a rezoning request, over and above existing regulations, in
order to satisfy public needs caused by the requested change; and
Whereas, the Owner agrees to develop this property in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Conditional Zoning Agreement.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the parties agree as
follows:
