Case No. SUB23-0009 Location : 1310 Cedar St. STAFF REPORT To: Planning and Zoning Commission Prepared by: Melanie Comer, Planning Item: SUB23-0009 Bab's First Addition Intern and Anne Russett, Senior Planner Date: April 3, 2024 GENERAL INFORMATION: Owner/Applicant: Barbel Anderson 1310 Cedar St Iowa City, Iowa 52245 Contact Person: William McBride (319)-331-9304 williammcb@gmail.com Requested Action: Approval of a combined preliminary and final plat Purpose: Bab's First Addition, a two-lot and two- outlot residential subdivision to accommodate two single-family homes Location: 1310 Cedar Street Location Map: E ;e Size: 3.74 Acres Existing Land Use and Zoning: Single-Family Residential Dwelling, RS-5 Low-Density Single-Family Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: (Cemetery) Neighborhood Public (P-1) South: (Residential) Low- Density Single- Family Residential (RS-5) 2 East: (Residential) Low Density Single- Family Residential (RS-5) and (Hickory Hill Park) Neighborhood Public (P-1) West: (Park and Residential) Neighborhood Public (P-1); Medium-Density Single-Family Residential (RS-8) Comprehensive Plan: 2-8 Dwelling Units/Acre District Plan: Central District Plan Neighborhood Open Space District: C8 Public Meeting Notification: Property owners and residents located with 500' of the project site received notification of the Planning and Zoning Commission public meeting. Subdivision signs were also posted on the site. File Date: February 22, 2024 45 Day Limitation Period: April 13, 2024 BACKGROUND INFORMATION: 1310 Cedar Street is located east of the area that was platted as part of Original Town of Iowa City in 1839 and west of Hickory Hill Park. The site has never been subdivided. 1310 Cedar Street, also referred to as the Irish-Kimball House, is a historically significant property for both its architecture and contribution to Iowa City history. The original log cabin on the property was built by Frederick Macy Irish in 1839. George Kimball, the owner in 1869, built the two-story Greek Revival home around the log cabin. The current owner of 1310 Cedar Street, Barbel Anderson, is requesting approval of the combined preliminary and final plat of Bab's First Addition, a 3.74 acre subdivision containing two residential lots and two outlots. Lot 1 will accommodate a new single-family home. Lot 2 will contain the existing historically significant home. Outlot A will be dedicated to the City of Iowa City to accommodate the neighborhood open space requirement and Outlot B will be maintained by the owner as private open space that cannot be developed. ANALYSIS: Compliance with Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan encourages the development in established neighborhoods with a strategy to encourage infill/redevelopment projects in areas where infrastructure and services are already in place. This plat has established utility lines and will require only sidewalks for public improvements. Subdivision Design: The proposed subdivision contains two residential lots and two outlots. 3 Outlot A is approximately 0.076 acres and will be dedicated to the City of Iowa City for the extension of Oakland Cemetery. Outlot B is 0.483 acres and will be maintained as private open space. Lot 1 is 1.0 acre and will accommodate one single-family home. Lot 2 includes an existing house and is 2.18 acres. The subdivision is accessed from Cedar St and has access to existing sanitary and water service. No sidewalks exist on Cedar St, so the installation of a 5' sidewalk adjacent to all lots in the subdivision will be required. Environmentally Sensitive Areas: Per 14-51-2C Exemptions, development activity associated with one single-family home is exempt from the sensitive areas ordinance if the development activities do not exceed 20,000 sq ft. As shown on the plat, the total disturbance area for the new single-family home is 19,997 square feet, exempting this development from requirements of the sensitive areas ordinance. Neighborhood Open Space: This application meets the City's neighborhood open space requirements through the dedication of Outlot A to the City of Iowa City to be used as an extension of Oakland Cemetery. The applicant is required to dedicate a minimum of 871 square feet of land or pay a fee in-lieu. The dedication of Outlot A, which is 3,328 square feet, satisfies this requirement. Storm Water Management: Stormwater management is being provided on Lot 1 through the provision of a detention basin. Public Works has reviewed the applicant's storm water management plan. Infrastructure Fees: Prior to issuance of any building permit, a watermain extension fee in the amount of$1,883.35 ($503.57 per acre for 3.74 acres) to the City must be paid. NEXT STEPS: Upon recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, the combined preliminary and final plat will be considered for approval by the City Council. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of SUB23-0009, an application submitted by Barbel Anderson, for a combined preliminary and final plat of Bab's First Addition, a 3.74 acre subdivision containing two residential lots and two outlots located at 1310 Cedar Street.

Case No. SUB23-0011 Location : North of Northgate Drive and East of N. Dodge St./Hwy 1 STAFF REPORT To: Planning and Zoning Commission Prepared by: Anne Russett, Senior Item: SUB23-0011 Highlander Development Fifth Planner Addition Date: April 3, 2024 GENERAL INFORMATION: Owner/Applicant: Northgate Land, LLC gina(a)navigatehomesiowa.com (319)-530-8578 Contact Person: Jon Marner MMS Consultants j.marner@mmsconsultants.net Requested Action: Approval of a combined preliminary and final plat Purpose: A replat of Highlander Development Fourth Addition Part 1 to create Highlander Development Fifth Addition, a subdivision to create one commercial lot, one outlot for stormwater management, and two outlots for future development Location: East of North Dodge Street/Highway 1 and north of Northgate Drive Location Map: v t' Size: 39.96 Acres Existing Land Use and Zoning: Undeveloped, Agriculture; CO-1 Commercial Office Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: (Farmland) County 2 Agricultural South: (Commercial Offices) CO-1 Commercial Office East: (Undeveloped) ID-RP Interim Development Research Park West: (Agriculture and Commercial) ID-RP Interim Development Research Park, CO-1 Commercial Office, CH-1 Highway Commercial Comprehensive Plan: Office Research Development Centers District Plan: No District Plan Neighborhood Open Space District: NE1 Public Meeting Notification: Property owners and residents located with 500' of the project site received notification of the Planning and Zoning Commission public meeting. Subdivision signs were also posted on the site. File Date: December 28, 2023 60 Day Limitation Period: Waived by applicant BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This property was annexed into the City sometime between 1969 and 1972. It was zoned RI-A, a single-family residential zone. In 1983 it was zoned Interim Development-Office Research Park (ID- ORP)when a new city-wide zoning map and ordinance were adopted. Most recently, in 2015, (Ord. No. 15-4610) this land was zoned Commercial Office (CO-1). Concurrent with the rezoning application in 2015, the owner also requested approval of a preliminary and final plat for this area. In March 2016, the City Council approved the Highlander Development Fourth Addition Part 1 Final Plat (Attachment 2). This Final Plat created 10 commercial lots and an Outlot for stormwater management. The plat also included in the extension of Northgate Drive to the north and incorporated two east-west streets including Oakdale Blvd. Although the subdivision was approved by City Council, the owner never moved forward with any of the infrastructure improvements. At this time, the owner would like to re-subdivide Highlander Development Fourth Addition Part 1 and also subdivide some additional undeveloped agricultural land to the west. The proposed preliminary and final plat of Highlander Development Fifth Addition would create one buildable commercial lot, one outlot for stormwater management, and two outlots reserved for future development. The outlots proposed as future development outlots would need to be resubdivided before any development activity could occur. ANALYSIS: Compliance with Comprehensive Plan: The Future Land Use Map of the IC2030 Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as appropriate for Office Research Development Center uses. There is no adopted district plan for this area. As noted above, this land was rezoned to CO- 3 1 in 2015, which aligns with the general intended office uses outlined in the comprehensive plan. Since the rezoning in 2015 there has been a decline in need for office space, which necessitated the request for the proposed subdivision. Subdivision Design: The proposed plat contains one buildable commercial lot (Lot 1), which is located at the end of Northgate Drive. The subdivision also includes an outlot for stormwater management (Outlot A), which generally aligns with the existing stormwater outlot approved with the original plat. The proposed plat also would remove many of the original commercial lots approved and instead include two outlots reserved for future development (Outlots B and C). The public right-of-way originally approved with the Highlander Development Fourth Addition Part 1 Final Plat will be vacated with the proposed request to turn buildable lots into outlots reserved for future development. The proposed plat will require the construction of a sidewalk along Outlot A and Lot 1.

Most of the proposed subdivision has already gone through the final platting process and previous staff reports note that when these subdivisions were reviewed it was determined that the sensitive areas ordinance did not apply. A large portion of the proposed subdivision includes two outlots totaling 31.72 acres. For development activity to occur within these outlots it will require another subdivision process. Neighborhood Open Space: The proposed subdivision does not include any residential development; therefore, the neighborhood open space ordinance does not apply. Storm Water Management: Stormwater management is provided in Outlot A. Outlot A is an existing stormwater management area that was developed after the approval of the Highlander 4 Development Third Addition Final Plat. Public Works is working with the owner to ensure adequate stormwater is provided for any development on Lot 1. Infrastructure Fees: Prior to issuance of a building permit, a watermain extension fee in the amount of$1,138.07 (2.26 acres x $503.57) and a sanitary sewer tap-on fee in the amount of $2,021.23 (2.26 acres x $894.35) must be paid to the City. NEXT STEPS: Upon recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, the combined preliminary and final plat will be considered for approval by the City Council.

This in turn can negatively thisgrowth between 2020 affect the City's sustainability and housing affordability goals. and 2030. ,eport Hinhlinht.q - 2023 had more subdivision activity than the past few years, but single-family lot creation is still low compared to historic trends (especially when excluding manufactured housing units). In addition, most new multi-family capacity is due to the West Riverfront redevelopment project in Riverfront Crossings (RFC) at the intersection of Myrtle Ave. and S. Riverside Dr. - The total number of dwelling units permitted exceeded 10-year trends, but single-family permits are at a near all-time low and duplex permitting is limited. - The number of dwelling units demolished was elevated this year at 120 units. However, this was mostly due to West Riverfront redevelopment project in RFC which accounted for 109 units, primarily in older multi-family buildings. - Activity in the University Impact Area was also higher this year due to the West Riverfront redevelopment project in RFC. Furthermore, the trend of converting duplexes to single-family homes continues. - The supply of vacant lots has increased since the previous year, though several subdivisions still do not have infrastructure in place. This should improve in the upcoming years. - If permitting trends from 2020 through 2023 continue, the City is expected to only meet 77% of its demand for new housing by 2030 with a deficit of more than 1,000 dwellings.

It is an especially important predictor for single-family - created since ••1 and duplex development because most of that type of building 9 Single-Family Detached: ••, activity occurs on recently created lots. However, many multi- Single-Family 11% family dwellings are created by redeveloping existing sites, so 9 Duplex: ;,., the supply of multi-family lots is less of a leading indicator for that type of development. -xiGtinn \/grant I ntp To issue a building permit for a newly created lot, public infrastructure such as streets, water and sewer lines, and stormwater facilities must be provided. Lots that were created but have no infrastructure are considered unimproved and are not yet buildable. Once infrastructure is provided, a lot is considered buildable and can have a building permit issued. Most unimproved lots tend to be from recently created subdivisions where infrastructure is still under construction. However, lots are occasionally platted but remain unimproved for several years, and in limited cases remain unimproved for decades (and will likely never become buildable).

Vacant Lot Supply Build-Out Analysis A build-out analysis of the vacant lot supply estimates how long it would take for the current number of vacant, buildable lots to be developed based on the 10-year average in building permits issued by building type. Several factors can improve the outlook, such as the construction of infrastructure for unimproved lots. Overall, this analysis is more important for single-family and duplex development. Anticipated Build Out of Current Vacant Lot Supply Single-Family Detached 2.3 years The anticipated build-out timeframe for vacant _ -family lots increased from Single-Family Attached 4.7 years 2022 due to low building permit numbers and the construction of new Duplex infrastructure which made older lots buildable. The supply of vacant duplex Multi-Family lots is also being builtout '' but anticipated infrastructure should 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 increase the buildable supply" Note: This is the first year single-family detached and attached are evaluated separately. NEIGHBORHOOD& DEVELOPMENT SERVICES 9 2023 RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT 'O' 12/31/2023 Development Projectirn Accommodating new residential growth is a fundamental aspect of planning for the future of Iowa City. To determine if Iowa City's anticipated needs will be met, the City compares the number of permits recently issued to expected population growth. HnLIUIPdReu OuPPiy dnu uerndnu The Metropolitan Planning Organization of Johnson County projects that Iowa City's population will reach approximately 85,070 residents by 2030, which is an increase of around 10,240 new residents from 2020 through 2029. This suggests a demand for just over 4,610 new dwelling units within that timeframe. Alternatively, development can be projected using the recent average number of dwelling units permitted annually. If the anticipated number of new dwelling units is less than the projected need, then it indicates that the future supply of housing will be inadequate to accommodate projected growth. Projected Need vs. Projected Development(in dwelling units) Projected permitRecent trends Need SFD: -Deficifi-- 4610 1 1suggest 3,550 new units developed between SFA/ 2020 and 2030.

First, excess housing demand may encourage additional growth in nearby cities, such as Tiffin or North Liberty, which have seen a proliferation of new residential development. This can negatively impact the City's environmental goals as homes are built further from employment centers and commuting distance, car dependence, and traffic congestion increases. In addition, an insufficient supply of housing can increase the cost of housing - when the supply cannot meet the demand for new dwellings, Iowa City will become less affordable. Consequently, it is important to continue encouraging residential growth in areas that have access to City services, such as in infill locations, as well as in the City's designated growth areas which are anticipated to become part of the City in the future. Policies for development are laid out in more detail in the City's Comprehensive Plan. NEIGHBORHOOD& DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AGENDA ITEM 7.

HARVAT HALL, CITY HALL MEMBERS PRESENT: Susan Craig, Maggie Elliott, Mike Hensch, Maria Padron, Scott Quellhorst, Billie Townsend, Chad Wade MEMBERS ABSENT: STAFF PRESENT: Madison Conley, Sara Hektoen, Anne Russett, Parker Walsh OTHERS PRESENT: Mike Huizenga, Josh Entler, Jordan Sellergren, Ginalie Swaim, Deanna Thomann, Kevin Boyd, Tomas Agran, Bob Wise, Sharon DeGraw, Missy Moreton RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL: By a vote of 7-0 the Commission recommends approval of CREZ24-0001 and application for a County conditional use permit to allow a telecommunications tower for property located at 355 street and east of Kansas Avenue in unincorporated Johnson County. By a vote of 7-0 the Commission recommends approval of CREZ24-0002, an application for a County conditional use permit for a temporary asphalt and concrete recycling use. By a vote of 6-1 (Wade dissenting) the Commission recommends approval of REZ24- 0001, an application to rezone 302-316 E. Bloomington Street from Central Business Service (CB-2) zone to CB-2 with a Historic District Overlay OHD/CB-2) zone in order to designate it as a Local Historic Landmark. CALL TO ORDER: Hensch called the meeting to order at 6:00 PM. PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA: None. CASE NO. CREZ24-0001 Location: South of 355 St and East of Kansas Ave SW, Unincorporated Johnson County An application for a County conditional use permit to allow a telecommunications tower on land zoned County Agricultural (A) in unincorporated Johnson County. Walsh began the staff report showing a map of the property located south of 355 Street and east of Kansas Avenue SW, in unincorporated Johnson County and then also the zoning map and stated this is a conditional use permit to allow a telecommunications tower on land zoned County Agricultural. Most of the land in the area is currently agricultural with some residential zoned property north of 355 Street. Next Walsh shared the Fringe Area Map and noted this property is outside of the County/City fringe area and is not likely to be annexed into the City but the County's Unified Development Code does have a requirement that all conditional use permits go Planning and Zoning Commission February 21, 2024 Page 2 of 14 to any City within two miles of the property and that is why they are going over this application tonight. The proposal will put a 180 feet tall tower on the property and the tower will be fully fenced with barbed wire for security and safety reasons. It will be screened with plantings that are native species that have a minimum mature height of 60 feet and they will be planted arranged between five and six feet. The tower will need to meet the Johnson County Unified Development Code standards and that review will be done by the County. Some of the approval criteria would include a specific height for the security fence and screening. Staff recommends approval of application CREZ24-0001 for a County conditional use permit to allow a telecommunications tower for property located at 355 Street and east of Kansas Avenue in unincorporated Johnson County. Upon recommendation from the Commission this application will go to City Council on March 19. Following City Council's recommendation it will be heard by the Johnson County Board of Adjustment but that meeting has not been set yet. Hensch opened the public hearing. Mike Huizenga (GSS, Inc.) is representing the applicant, US Cellular, along with Sean Hempstead as it relates to the 180 foot self-support telecommunication tower that they're proposing by way of a conditional use permit off 355 Street within Johnson County's jurisdiction. Huizenga noted they do meet all Johnson County zoning requirements but one of the requirements that Johnson County has from their zoning ordinance is that they are to receive official comment from any city located within a two-mile radius of where they're proposing their tower and obviously Iowa City falls into that category. Huizenga stated the reason they are proposing this tower is there are currently two towers located approximately a half mile northeast of where they're proposing this new tower but both of those towers are scheduled to be decommissioned. One of those towers US Cellular is currently on and so the hope is to maintain current coverage and capacity in the area with the construction of the new tower. Hensch noted since the other towers are being decommissioned, what's the planned life of this particular tower. Huizenga replied the lease timeline they are targeting is somewhere around 95 years but that's not necessarily indicative of how long the tower is going to be up. From US Cellular's standpoint is to have leases that extend that long to secure the land to make it available for them to use for a tower long into the future. Elliott asked what happens to the decommissioned tower. Huizenga stated in his experience working through US Cellular leases they have very specific language on their leases for removal of improvements so the towers come down and then they're usually removed to below grade, a minimum of a foot to 36 inches, depending on the negotiations that took place when the tower originally went up. Hensch closed the public hearing. Towsend moved to approve CREZ24-0001 and application for a County conditional use permit to allow a telecommunications tower for property located at 355 Street and east of Kansas Avenue in unincorporated Johnson County. Planning and Zoning Commission February 21, 2024 Page 3 of 14 Elliott second the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed 7-0. CASE NO. CREZ24-0002 Location: South of IWV Rd SW and West of Kansas Ave SW, Unincorporated Johnson County An application for a County conditional use permit to allow a temporary concrete and asphalt recycling use on land zoned County Agriculture (A) in unincorporated Johnson County outside the City's growth area. Russett began the staff report with the aerial map showing that the property is located west of Kansas Avenue SW and then the zoning map. Russett noted the land is zoned County Agriculture and there's a few parcels of land to the north that are zoned residential and then to the east is land zoned P (Public) for the City of Iowa City's landfill. Russett stated this land is in the City's fringe area but is outside the growth area and not anticipated to be annexed by the City. However, as Parker mentioned the County's Zoning Code requires review by cities within two miles and that's why this is before the Commission tonight. Asphalt and concrete recycling plants are allowed by conditional use permit in the County Agriculture zone. Their proposal is temporary asphalt and concrete recycling and they anticipate the use would last for one year. Access to the site would be from an existing field entrance off of Kansas Avenue SW. Russett noted there are specific use criteria that need to be met for these types of concrete recycling uses and the County will ensure that those are met as part of their review. Staff is recommending approval of CREZ24-0002, an application for a County conditional use permit for a temporary asphalt and concrete recycling use. Hensch asked if conditional use permits have a time limit or do they go forever with the property. Russett is unsure how the County handles those permits. Craig is curious that this is temporary because if they are tearing up a road out someplace will they take this stuff to recycle it or is this a common thing that they would do for a year and then go someplace else. Russett noted the applicant could answer those questions. Hensch opened the public hearing. Josh Entler (Concise Earth Construction) is here representing the applicant, the landowner, as the prospective contractor that would be doing the crushing. He stated this is temporary, the timespan they are requesting is one year, which is part of the requirement in the Code for them to go to the Board of Adjustment for the County. They are asking for a one-year window just because it takes time to find all their operators to make it work and need to have a 12 month window of when this permit would be valid. He stated it's like $30,000 a month to rent this crusher so they've also agreed to a 60-to-90-day operational window of when they will have a pile of material on site that they would like to give a new life and recycle. Hensch noted he has seen these before many times around big road projects and they are typically always done on a temporary basis, the crushing operation is set up and then the next Planning and Zoning Commission February 21, 2024 Page 4 of 14 time one drives by it's gone. Entler stated yes usually they have a pile that's somewhat localized, they recycle that material, and then they move on to the next project. Hensch closed the public hearing. Elliott moved to recommend approval of CREZ24-0002, an application for a County conditional use permit for a temporary asphalt and concrete recycling use. Craig seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed 7-0. CASE NO. REZ24-0001 Location: 302-316 E. Bloomington St An application initiated by the Historic Preservation Commission for a rezoning of approximately 0.45 acres of land from Central Business Service (CB-2) zone to CB-2 with a Historic District Overlay (OHD/CB-2) zone to designate the property as an Iowa City Historic Landmark. Conley began the staff report showing an aerial map of the property for the proposed rezoning. The property is located north of East Bloomington Street and to the east of North Linn Street. She next shared the zoning map which shows to the west there's the RNS-12 zone, to the east is CB-2 and to the south is CB-2 as well. For some background for the property in question, Conley stated on the date October 9, 2023, the Historic Preservation Commission recommended moving forward with the local landmark designation. Then on October 30, 2023, a letter was sent to the property owner that explained the Historic Preservation Commission's interest in landmarking the property as well as requested a meeting. On December 4, 2023, staff and the Historic Preservation Commission Chair met with the property owner and then on February 8, 2024, the Historic Preservation Commission recommended approval of the local landmark designation. The Historic Preservation Commission found that this property is significant for its role in the ethnic and commercial history of Iowa City's Northside Neighborhood. They found that the building is a well-preserved example of Italianate architecture and found that the property met the following local landmark criteria. (A) it is significant to American and/or Iowa City history, architecture, archaeology and culture. (B) it possesses integrity of location, design, setting, materials and workmanship. (C) it is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of Iowa City history. And lastly, (E) it embodies the distinctive characteristics of a tight period or method of construction or represents the work of a master or possesses high artistic values or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction. Currently the property is zoned CB-2 and the purpose of this zone is to serve as a transition between intense land uses in the Central Business Service District and adjoining areas. The proposed zoning is to the OHD/CB-2 zone and the purpose of the OHD zone is to designate local historic landmarks and historic districts. The OHD zone requires exterior building modifications, ones that require regulated permit, to go through the historic review process, and it supports the continued use of historic buildings through regulatory and financial incentives. These incentives include special exception eligibility in which it would allow the Board of Planning and Zoning Commission February 21, 2024 Page 5 of 14 Adjustment to waive or modify certain zoning requirements. Additionally, the property would be eligible for the Iowa City Historic Preservation Fund and additional tax credits. Conley next showed some photos of the 302-316 East Bloomington Street property. Conley then reviewed the rezoning criteria and how the proposed development fits in with the policy vision of the City. The landmark designation is a zoning overlay and therefore requires recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission to the City Council. It's the Commission's role to review the proposed designation based on its relation to the Comprehensive Plan and the proposed public improvements and plans for the renewal of the area involved. In this case, they would need to analyze the IC 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the Central District Plan and the Historic Preservation Plan, which are all relevant to the proposed rezoning. To start the IC 2030 Plan includes principle goals and strategies that are in support of the local landmark rezoning. There's a neighborhood design principle which states to preserve historic resources and reinvest in established neighborhoods. The intent of this principle is to ensure the stability and livability of the City's historic neighborhoods to preserve culture, history and the identity of the City. The land use section of the Plan includes the following "will continue to protect our community's historical, environmental, and aesthetic assets" and the strategy that supports this goal includes "developing strategies to encourage the protection of natural areas and historic features and support the enhancement of areas to continue support for the Iowa City Historic Preservation Plan". The plan also mentions how Historic Preservation policies have helped to save Iowa City's most historic buildings and have preserved the distinctive architecture of entire neighborhoods. The housing section of the Plan includes the following goal "preserve the integrity of existing neighborhoods and the historic nature of older neighborhoods". Included as a strategy is "aim to support the Historic Preservation Commission's efforts to meet its goals". Conley next reviewed the Central District Plan which includes goals and objectives that are also in support of the local landmark rezoning and emphasize the historic character of the neighborhood. The Central District Plan notes that the City has been successful in protecting historic resources in the Central District through the adoption of historic district and conservation district overlay zones and by bestowing historic landmark status on the area's most significant buildings and properties. The Plan also states that although some redevelopment of the area is likely there's a strong desire to maintain the historic main street character and the property that helps maintain the distinct identity and scale of the area. Additionally, many community members indicated that the historic character of the Northside Marketplace is one of its greatest assets. The Central District Plan includes the goal "preserve and promote the unique aspects of the Northside Marketplace" and that is followed by the supporting objectives. First, established policies and regulations that will preserve the existing scale and main street commercial character of the Northside Marketplace and second, protect historic buildings as an integral part of the Northside Marketplace. Overall, the designation of the property as a local historic landmark will achieve the objective related to protecting historic buildings. Lastly, the Historic Preservation Plan contains a mission statement that states "Iowa City and its citizens seek to identify, protect and preserve the community's historic resources in order to enhance the quality of life and economic well-being of current and future generations". This Plan includes the following goal "identify historic resources to Iowa City's past" and this goal is here to help promote the mission statement. This goal is supported through the following objectives, continuing to research and evaluate historic resources through the systematic and prioritize completion of neighborhood and thematic based historical and architectural surveys, have the Planning and Zoning Commission February 21, 2024 Page 6 of 14 Historic Preservation Commission set designation priorities for historic districts, have landmarks that emphasize the most important or threatened resources first, and encourage the local landmark designations by the Historic Preservation Commission by continuing to nominate individual properties in historic districts to the National Register of Historic Places, and when appropriate pursue local designation as landmarks in historic districts for the National Register properties. The Historic Preservation Plan also includes the Gilbert/Linn Street Historic District and this section is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The locally designated District is referred to as the Northside Historic District and although the subject property is not located in either of these districts since they are residential, this section of the Plan discusses the importance of various properties both in and outside of these Districts. The Gilbert/Linn Street Historic District includes the following objective, to incorporate historic preservation efforts in planning for the Northside Marketplace retail district, which is intersecting blocks at Market, Linn, Gilbert and Bloomington Streets. The importance of the subject property is discussed within this objective because it's specifically discussed as promoting the preservation of architectural elements such as this Slezak Building National Hall. Staff has also received correspondence which has been forwarded to the Commission and hard copies have been provided at the meeting. Staff received 43 letters in support of the proposed rezoning which was included in the agenda packet and seven additional pieces of correspondence were received in support of the rezoning after packet publication. Conley noted the property only owner, Gary Skarda, stated he did not support the proposed rezoning at the Historic Preservation Commission meeting. Staff recommends approval of REZ24- 0001, an application to rezone 302-316 East Bloomington Street from Central Business Service (CB-2) zone to CB-2 with a Historic District Overlay (OHD/CB-2) zone in order to designate it as a Local Historic Landmark. Next steps, since the landmark designation was voted unanimously by the Historic Preservation Commission, upon P&Z recommendation City Council will set the date of the public hearing for the property for 302-316 East Bloomington Street. Hensch asked if for a rezoning it's not necessary for the property owner to consent to the rezoning. Conley confirmed that was correct. Quellhorst asked if staff took into account that property owner's objections to rezoning at all and the cost that might be imposed by the imposition of that historic overlay. Russett replied their role was to review the rezoning in the context of the policies in the Comprehensive Plan. There are specific criteria in the zoning code that speak to the criteria that are supposed to be considered as part of this rezoning and cost is not part of the consideration. Quellhorst asked if it is considered anywhere in the process and Russett stated City Council could consider it. Craig asked generally speaking with this designation what can and can't the property owner do to this property. Russett replied the biggest thing is that the property could not be demolished. The other things that would be regulated by the historic review process are any exterior modifications that require a building permit or mechanical permit, so things like changing the roofing or siding or any masonry work, windows, doors, and those types of things, anything on the exterior would be regulated. Planning and Zoning Commission February 21, 2024 Page 7 of 14 Elliott asked why the owner did not want to agree with this and Russett replied they can't speak for the owner. Hekteon noted if the owner files a petition at the City Council level that would trigger a supermajority vote for the City Council and that's how the owners voice is factored in. Elliott asked if it was just the Pagliai's building or also the laundromat. Russett replied it is all of the buildings on the property which includes the laundromat and the original structure at the southwest corner of the property and the additions. Wade noted looking at Des Moines code, it looks like the Des Moines code has a trigger that if somebody searches for a demolition permit it automatically looks at the age of the building and goes through a Historic Preservation Commission type process and does Iowa City have a similar process in place. Russett replied Iowa City does not, if it's within a local historic district, local conservation district or a local landmark district, then the demolition needs to go through the historic review process but if it's outside of those areas it is just reviewed by the building inspection staff. Padron asked if something new could be built in that area of the parking lot. Russett replied she supposes that's a possibility. They had a recent landmark designation within the Ped Mall on East College Street where the historic structures were landmarked and there was a new building that was built behind it that was approved by the Historic Preservation Commission. So new structures are something that would be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission. Padron just wants to be clear that none of these buildings would be able to be demolished without going through the Historic Preservation Commission and then if they build something new that would also have to go through historic review. Russett confirmed that was correct. Wade asked what's the line in the sand as far as the age of the building. For example, the front of the building was remodeled in the 1960s so it wouldn't fit to the original model of the building and if they're going to redo windows or something what age or part of the building is the deciding factor. Russett replied that's more of a historic review question, but they would have to just review any proposals on a case-by-case basis and any changes to the exterior would have to be reviewed to the guidelines. It could potentially be approved by staff, but for more major alterations they have to go to the Historic Preservation Commission. Hensch opened the public hearing. Jordan Sellergren (Chair, Historic Preservation Commission) stated the Historic Preservation Commission's role is to determine whether the property meets the criteria for designation and they did find that the Slezak/Holub/Skarda building represents the broad patterns of the history in Iowa City. It tells the story of the immigrants who helped build the City, as well as clearly meeting historic architectural criteria. The Commission voted unanimously in favor of the designation. Planning and Zoning staff, as they just heard, did recommend that the landmark rezoning of 302 - 316 East Bloomington is consistent with Iowa City's Comprehensive Plan, which includes the Central District Plan and the Historic Preservation Plan, and encourages pursuing local landmark designations when appropriate to provide protection for important historic resources. The Central District Plan specifically calls out this property as an important historic building that should be preserved. The building size and uses are consistent with the main street character that is the Planning and Zoning Commission February 21, 2024 Page 8 of 14 vision of the Comprehensive Plan for North Linn and Bloomington Streets. Additionally, the City's climate policies encourage sustainable practices also support the retention of the valuable resources of the building, rather than sending them to the landfill. Iowa City Zoning Code states that the Planning and Zoning Commission's role is to determine whether a local landmark designation meets the Comprehensive Plan and in this case it very much does. So once this Commission votes, it becomes City Council's role to consider the politics and weigh the recommendations of the Commission's as well as the property owner's concerns. Sellergren thanked the Commission for hearing the remarks tonight. Wade noted listening to the Historic Preservation Commission meeting it sounds like they have somebody that goes in the building or takes a look at the building so as part of that do they also evaluate the mechanicals and all the details of the building in the interior. Sellergren stated they are primarily focused on exterior updates. Ginalie Swaim (Friends of Historic Preservation) stated they strongly support the designation of this important building. As they have all heard the Comprehensive Plan speaks to the historic character of the Northside Marketplace and this is one of the key buildings in this marketplace. Swaim wanted to share how this sprawling building speaks to more aspects of the local history than any other single building in Iowa City. It holds a one story of American immigration, in this case Bohemian immigrants, today they probably would have been known as Czechs, but they could substitute other ethnic groups with similar trajectories in their move to America and engagement with American society. In the 1850s Bohemians were starting to arrive in Iowa having fled Europe because of revolutions and economic depressions. By the 1870s Bohemians had put down roots in Cedar Rapids and Iowa City and in the farming villages and on the farms in-between. The Slezak's building connects with immigrants history as first the building reinforced an ethnic identity. Bohumil Shimek, whose name they will recognize because of his role in Iowa City history, and himself of Bohemian ethnicity, knew of"the dangers that confronted a stranger in a strange land" and Joseph Slezak's hotel quickly became "the recognized headquarters of this nationality", ethnic social and aid societies for Bohemians met there and these ethnic aid societies were a phenomenon of American culture during the great immigration periods. Because of this being a stranger in a strange land, they would offer newcomers assistance. If someone became ill or died that aid society would step in and try to be helpful, basically, on how to navigate the new culture, but also how to keep their native culture alive. For example, the Slezak National Hall at one time had a benefit, a play and a dance, to benefit the Herzegovinian rebels, which was a Serb uprising against the Ottoman Empire. So even though people were living in Iowa City, putting their roots down, beginning businesses, having jobs, they still had a yearning to support their fellow people back in the old country. Second, the Slezak Building, like some parts of Iowa City, long resonated with the Bohemian language. In the 1880s there were four newspapers to choose from and one was in Bohemian. Just east of the Slezak Building was the residents of Goosetown which was largely a Bohemian neighborhood and spoke their native language for three generations. In 1912 when Joseph Slezak died the grave marker at Old St. Joseph's Catholic Cemetery was carved all in Bohemian language and on the top of the building sign, the Bohemian words Narodni sin appeared and below that was translated to National Hall. In 1981 local historian Irving Weber wrote about this building and when he wrote about it using the words Narodni sin apparently he made a spelling error because readers contacted him. So even in 1981 there is still a resonance for the Bohemian language in this community and even today the Czech and Bohemian ethnicity is still loud and strong in this community. Another reason this building was part of the social fabric is the upstairs hall was the site for plays and parties and dances in this "spacious and elegant hall in which to trip the light Planning and Zoning Commission February 21, 2024 Page 9 of 14 fantastic toe". Perhaps the eight-member union band played there, each musician was Bohemian and well into the 20th century a group called the Jolly Club played their routine there. This club comprised of German and Bohemian families far from the immigrant experience but still hanging on to their ethnic roots. Fifth, the building was part of local commerce there was a reason Joseph Slezak advertised it as "the popular farmers stopping place". Farmers coming into town stayed overnight at the hotel and stabled their horses in the attached livery. The building housed several endeavors, including the National Hall, the farmers hotel, the grocery store, and "all the other business ventures centered there". The proprietor had "a fine outlook for prosperity and fortune, well a part of the local commerce". And finally, the Slezak building's long history shows transitions into mainstream American society, from a livery stable for horses to a garage for automobiles, from hotel rooms for Bohemian farmers, to apartments for college students and downtown workers. More signs of this transition are that the hall was once the site of ethnic meetings also hosted in 1925 a dance and basketball game between Williamsburg and the National Guard. Then in the 1930s its grocery stores advertising the all-American product of Jello and the garage becomes a current coin operated laundromat and in the late 1960s the building reaches perhaps the epitome of American society as the Pizza Palace that also sold T shirts. Many other businesses in the late 19th and early 20th centuries met Iowa City's needs and wants, there were dozens in that period of saloons, groceries, hotels, stables, social halls, even other ethnic social halls, and other buildings symbolizing commercial success. What's unique and significant about this sprawling building is this one building served all of those needs. So landmarking this one building honors and preserves one story of American immigration in Iowa City. Deanna Thomann (Member, Historic Preservation Commission) represents the Northside Neighborhood on the Historic Preservation Commission but tonight is speaking as a citizen from the northside. Several meetings ago she introduced herself to this Planning and Zoning Commission but to remind them she and her sister live at 208 Fairchild Street in a house that once belonged to her great great grandparents and then to her great grandparents. Her great great grandmother's parents, the Louis's, immigrated to Iowa City from Germany and her great great grandfather CK Lake ran a lumberyard on this very site where the City offices are today. So in experiencing the northside and the downtown she often tries to see places through her ancestors eyes, and sometimes it takes a lot of imagination, but there is no imagining with this Slezak/Holub/Skarda building. Construction on that monumental complex started just one year before her ancestor's house on Fairchild Street was built. The Slezak/Holub/Skarda building was part of her ancestor's everyday experience, either on foot or by horse. Great, great grandpa would have passed the building on his way to work at the lumberyard and maybe on his way home from work he occasionally stopped in the building saloon for a beer. That's something she likes to imagine. Thomann does know that her Aunt Linda would stay at the house on 208 Fairchild Street and attend summer bible camp and she remembers shopping with grandma at Tweedie's grocery store, she said it was a really big grocery store for that time. Today Pagliai's is in that space and she eats at Pagliai's and many of her out of town relatives traveled to eat at Pagliai's too. These relatives, though they live on farms, when she sees them at family reunions they ask about her house in town and they ask where it is again, when she answers on Fairchild Street they don't know what that means or where that is but if she says it's just a couple blocks from Pagliai's they all know where that is. They acknowledge that's the best restaurant in Iowa City. So in some ways this building is still bringing farmers to it like it was with the farmer's hotel back in the day. This Slezak/Holub/Skarda building is a landmark to her and her family, it was a landmark to her ancestors and it's part of the community's history and cultural heritage. Thomann asks that the Commission take the next steps to make this Slezak/Holub/Skarda building a Planning and Zoning Commission February 21, 2024 Page 10 of 14 formal landmark. Kevin Boyd noted he sent an email because there were some visuals he wanted to share but he also wishes to speak. Boyd stated local landmarks are designed to preserve buildings, physical structures, that help tell the unique history. They help connect us both with the past by honoring what the civic ancestors built, the city they created, but it also connects them to the future and says they value this history and they want future Iowa Citians to be able to experience this heritage site. Boyd shared some family photos of this building with the Commission in advance. His grandfather, Paul Boyd, came to Iowa City when he was just 18, immediately after he graduated from high school in the early part of the Depression. His parents and siblings had already moved here because the family farm had been taken from the bank due to the Depression. Paul got a part time job at Mercy Hospital as an elevator operator hand cranking it and that is where he met Boyd's grandmother, a nursing student from West Liberty. By 1938 they had gotten married and adopted an orphan nephew and had their first child together. They rented half of the duplex across the street at 228 Bloomington Street. A few years ago Boyd acquired an old disorganized family photo album with nearly 90 year old photos and news clippings of his great grandfather becoming the manager of the newly remodeled self-serve grocery store in Slezak Hall where they took the two commercial units and put them into one pristine and organized one. To Boyd that was an important moment in his grandparents history, it was a moment their economic fortunes began to turn. Paul was hired to manage the newly remodeled self-serve grocery store in the Slezak Building. A generation later in the 1970s after a pizza date, Boyd's parents accidentally unplugged the change machine in the laundromat and it triggered an alarm and the police arrived. This story was told by his parents nearly every time they were waiting to pick up Pagliai's, which was a lot growing up. When Boyd's partner Kelly first came to visit Iowa City, a city he'd heard Boyd rave about for months, they went to Pagliai's and he was as impressed with the building as he was with the pizza. Boyd shares these personal stories because generations of Iowa Citians have their own. Some that have been forgotten to others that can be remembered. The stories of this building, from the parties upstairs, Narodni sin, the meeting spot for first generation immigrants, the corner grocery store being the first self- serve then Tweedie's, police getting called to a laundromat after a pizza date, preserving this building honors those stories and the shared history and it celebrates the history of the community. This building is a heritage building. The rezoning aligns with the Comprehensive Plan, and it deserves local landmarking and Boyd encourages them to pass it as it honors both the past and it honors the future. Tomas Agran lives in the Northside Neighborhood and served as its Historic Preservation Commission representative for seven years. So he can speak from that perspective but now with extra candor since he's not on the Commission anymore, including that controversially he doesn't like Pagliai's Pizza. Agran noted there's a property that recently came on the market, an amazing development opportunity for a cool $5 million and being well more than 50 years old the building is definitely about qualifying vintage for historic designation, but it would be controversial and political to try to do that, especially if the owner bulked. He isn't talking about the Pagliai's building he is referring to City Electric building on Prentiss Street. He does agree it is a development opportunity and also agrees it's probably not ultimately a strong case for historic designation. But they aren't talking about that building, or speculating on Tracy Barkalow's intentions, they aren't talking about landmarking a property as a stretch of the imagination. They're talking about a core property in Iowa City's past, present and future inextricable from the story of Iowa City and the north end as they've heard tonight. Iowa City's always lamenting the loss of so much historic building inventory during those urban renewal days of yore, but as far as Planning and Zoning Commission February 21, 2024 Page 11 of 14 he can tell, since moving here in 2009, urban renewal is alive and well as developers and accountants pencil Iowa City's history, texture and unique flavor out of existence in favor of cheap builds, and balance sheets. When they leave the meeting tonight, he urges them to look east at the memorable and evocative three over one across from the co-op. Or choose to avert their gaze looking west where a giant hole in the ground stands as a monument to one Iowa City family's bank account. Or maybe they parked just to the north where the historic U Church was leveraged and now sits abandoned and overwhelmed to line the silky pockets of another private developer. Don't forget the increasingly dilapidated historic 410 North Clinton held hostage for development handouts from the City to try to tear down and over build the neighboring properties, or the charming piles of civil war era bricks they woke up to on Christmas morning after a spirited visit from a bulldozer on South Dubuque Street, and inevitability they should not forget tacitly and patiently awaits the vast majority of the still unprotected downtown. When a property owner disagrees with the historic designation of a building, it feels like a fraught process and it feels political, and it is awkward but as fate would have it anticipation at these exact circumstances had the City come up with systems and protocols. The City has a Comprehensive Plan, they have standards that historic properties must meet and have a process of community representatives at three levels, Planning & Zoning being one of them, who makes sure that those guiding documents and standards are applied apolitically so that when the community's history comes under threat, there is an established and agreed way as a democratic community to protect those irreplaceable and to further prevent our historic assets being emotionally leveraged against us for private gain. Agran noted it's not difficult to imagine this property being used as a sacrificial pawn in the development game for all the neighboring losses around it. This Commission is tasked with putting process over politics and as a result have a very simple non- emotional decision in front of them tonight and he trusts they will fulfill their duties and do what's right for Iowa City that belongs not to one but to all of us. Bob Wise noted what's interesting about this that nobody has pointed out is if they go back and dig through the maps from around the 1870s the two lots that the building sits on was not part of the original plot of Iowa City. The original Iowa City plot was going from Franklin Street down to Jefferson and going from Linn to maybe past Van Buren. All that is left in the 18 and a half block area of the original site of Iowa City area is the Slezak building, the Union Brewery building and John's grocery. An example is the Pearson Drugstore corner, Pearson's Drug was really great, it had a drive-thru, but watching the old building that was taken down from there and looking at the structure which had been put in that place if the same thing happens to this, then the original plot of Iowa City, the original town, shrinks, and shrinks, and eventually will disappear and they lose a tremendous amount of history with that. He has watched it happen in other communities where he's lived. Iowa City used to have a beautiful fire station that he went to in first grade that sat on Linn Street and Washington that was torn down in 1965 to make room for this City Hall building and the fire station that now sits here. That was a beautiful building that was lost to urban renewal along with many others. Wise encourages the Commission to strongly consider making this historic landmark for Iowa City and the preservation of the original part of Iowa City, as it was established back in the 1870s. The Graph house was built in 1872 and the Slezak building, Pagliai's building, was built about six years later. This was the dance hall in the hotel and there was a restaurant that was in that building. There were obviously rooms which are maybe now part of the 16 apartments upstairs. At the back of the small building where there's an archway, that was probably a hayloft to take care of what was the carriage house and what was the livery. A livery may have been where the horses were kept to draw the beer wagons to run around the town and deliver beer, even the fire department had their own horses back in that period of time. Planning and Zoning Commission February 21, 2024 Page 12 of 14 Sharon DeGraw stated she lives in the Northside Neighborhood and is on the steering committee for the Northside Neighborhood Association. She looked at the packet and the task looks pretty straightforward. The IC 2030 Comprehensive Plan includes the goal to preserve historic resources and invest in the established neighborhoods. She thinks that's how they're supposed to be thinking about this and the land use section includes a goal to protect the community's historical environment and aesthetic assets. Therefore, the Planning and Zoning commissioners would be answering the question of is this building suitable according to those goals and she hopes they think yes. DeGraw noticed that it's one of the oldest buildings, from 1875, it's relatively tall, three stories, for that point in time and it also had an incredible number of functions which they've heard about, a hotel, a saloon, dance hall, grocery store, a meeting hall for the Czech and Bohemian immigrant community, and a stable which she thinks is incredible that the the Bloomington laundry mat was once a stable and it's still standing. So after contemplating this DeGraw hopes that the Commission will agree that it's the right time to vote in favor of a historic preservation overlay for that parcel. Missy Moreton stated she is representing as a person who lives in the Northside Neighborhood. As a disclosure she was on the Iowa City Friends of Historic Preservation Board for probably 10 years but it's been a while. Her personal thoughts on this is she has lived in the Northside Neighborhood since 1996. Personally, she loves the aesthetic of the close-in historic area and the way the Pagliai's building serves as a transition between the residential and business areas, she really feels that it contributes to the quality of life in the neighborhood. She appreciates the owner's position, from what she's read the owner was not just a good landlord, but a great steward of the property. This proposal brings to mind two buildings that were eventually preserved by the new owners after the public brought to the attention their historic significance. First, the Carnegie Library, which had served as the Iowa City Public Library, and the Tate Arms, which was the first rooming house built for black students owned by black landlords. Moreton realizes that there are buyers that can purchase this location and don't have the same feelings about history and architecture and community that she does so she would like to be more proactive about taking an inventory of the remaining buildings that fit the local landmark designation and acting on them before they are up for sale. She hopes that it's not too late for this building. Hensch closed the public hearing. Craig moved to recommend approval of REZ24- 0001, an application to rezone 302-316 E. Bloomington Street from Central Business Service (CB-2) zone to CB-2 with a Historic District Overlay OHD/CB-2) zone in order to designate it as a Local Historic Landmark. Quellhorst seconded the motion. Craig noted she was very pleased that the Historic Preservation Commission was willing to do the work and bring this forward, she had concerns when the property went up for sale. She has lived in Iowa City close to 50 years and always had a very special feeling about this particular piece of property and it felt like old Iowa City and the more she's learned about the history of it is 100% why these things were put in the Comprehensive Plan and she is 100% behind it. Quellhorst stated he agrees with that, he thinks this is a wonderful building with a rich history and meets the criteria for a landmark designation. He appreciates that cost isn't one of the rezoning considerations but does think it's important and would recommend that City Council consider the Planning and Zoning Commission February 21, 2024 Page 13 of 14 costs that the application could impose on the property owner in making its decision. Hensch noted their first obligation is does it meet the criteria and consistently with the Comprehensive Plan and he thinks it clearly does. Also on an emotional level when he also saw it was for sale his very first thought was please don't tear that building down. It's just pretty dramatic standing there, the three-story building for that age and it's been so well kept. Kudos to the owners of that building, it is a rare gem that they cannot let go away so he supports this. Elliott supports this and thinks it's clear that it meets that criteria. She does have concerns about the owner not wanting to landmark the property but that's not for them to decide. Townsend just want to say she wasn't born and raised in Iowa but everyone that she's talked to that came to school here or that has been here always talks about Pagliai's. This is the first time she's heard about the history of that area so in her opinion it is something that should be preserved. Wade stated this one is a little bit more challenging for him, there is a lot of history with the Pagliai's building, or the Slezak/Holub/Skarda building but this is the first time that he's been through the experience without an owner's consent. He's looking at this rezoning similar to an involuntary annex so this one's a little bit problematic from not getting the owner's buy-in to get the overlay or historic landmark nomination. Wade noted regardless of his decision, he knows he's in the minority, but this one, just from a private ownership standpoint they need the buy-in. Wade agreed he would love to see the building maintained or continued on, it's been in the family for 125 years but now they're looking at making a change without the family consent. A vote was taken and the motion passed 6-1 (Wade dissenting). CONSIDERATION OF MEETING MINUTES: FEBRUARY 7, 2024: Padron moved to approve the meeting minutes from February 7, 2024. Craig seconded the motion, a vote was taken and the motion passed 7-0. PLANNING AND ZONING INFORMATION: None. ADJOURNMENT: Townsend moved to adjourn, Quellhorst seconded and the motion passed 7-0.
