Ordinance rezoning approximately 7.76 acres of land located on Lot 66,
Monument Hills Final Plat from Low Density Single-Family Residential zone
with a Planned Development Overlay (OPD/RS-5) to Low Density Multi-
Family Residential zone with a Planned Development Overlay (OPD/RM-12). (REZ25-0007)
Whereas, the Owner, Monument Hills, LLC, has requested the rezoning of 7.76 acres of land
located on Lot 66, Monument Hills Final Plat from Low Density Single-Family Residential zone
with a Planned Development Overlay (OPD/RS-5) to Low Density Multi-Family Residential zone
with a Planned Development Overlay (OPD/RM-12); and
Whereas, the Comprehensive Plan indicates that the subject area is appropriate for
Conservation Design and the Northeast District Plan indicates the subject area is appropriate for
Town Homes and Small Apartment Buildings; and
Whereas, the Conservation Design land use designation is intended primarily for areas where
sensitive environmental features or the land topography limit the development potential of the
land; and
Whereas, the Town Homes and Small Apartment Buildings land use designation is intended
for development that is similar in scale to single-family homes and encourages more intense
buildings at the intersection of arterial streets; and
Whereas, the Comprehensive Plan and Northeast District Plan encourage a diversity of
housing options; and
Whereas, the Planning and Zoning Commission has reviewed the proposed rezoning and has
recommended approval; and
Now, therefore, be it ordained by the City Council of the City of Iowa City, Iowa:
