Dubuque Date: September 18, 2003 GENERAL INFORMATION: Applicant: University View Partners 414 E. Market Street Iowa City, IA 52245 Requested Action: Rezoning from CB-2, Central Business District Service, to PRM, Planned High Density Multifamily Purpose: To allow residential use. Location: 512 S. Dubuque Street Size: Approximately 1/3 of an acre Existing Land Use and Zoning: Vacant building Surrounding Zoning and Land Use: North: CB-2, Office South: PRM, Multi-family Residential East: OSA/PRM, Multifamily Residential West: P, School District Office Building Comprehensive Plan: High Density Residential File Date: August 28, 2003 45 Day Limitation Period: October 12, 2003 BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This property was formerly the location of a veterinary clinic. The building on the property is currently vacant. It has been zoned Central Business Service (CB-2) since the creation of the CB-2 zoning district in 1983. The CB-2 zone allows commemial uses, which are intended to compliment and serve the commercial uses in the Central Business (CB-10) zone. The current zoning allows dwellings above the ground floor, but the ground floor must contain a commemial use. The applicant has requested that the property be zoned PRM to allow for it to redevelop exclusively for residential uses. 2 ANALYSIS: Compliance with Comprehensive Plan: The 1992 Near Southside Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan, which was adopted as part of the 1997 Iowa City Comprehensive Plan identifies this property and the rest of this block as an appropriate location for high-density residential development. The logic of promoting higher density residential development near the downtown rests in the concept that people who live in and near downtown will walk to work or class, will patronize downtown businesses, will add to the after hours vitality, and create a sense of safety in the downtown. Furthermore, higher density development in the downtown vicinity will reduce housing pressures in the surrounding neighborhoods. Neighborhood Compatibility: The uses currently surrounding this property include the multifamily housing, school district offices to the west and law office to the north. The proposed PRM zoning is certainly compatible with the adjacent PRM zoning. Rezoning this lot will leave the property at 500 S Dubuque Street as the sole CB-2 property in this area. Given the adjacent land uses and the recommended land uses for this area contained in the Near Southside Redevelopment Plan, staff feels that this rezoning is appropriate. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that REZ-03-00021, an application from University View Partners for a rezoning from CB-2, Central Business District Service to PRM, Planned High Density Residential for 1/3 of an acre, located at 512 S. Dubuque Street, be approved. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Location map 2. Applicant's statement Jeff Davidson, Assistant Director, Department of Planning and Community Development REZ02-00021 COUNTY POST COURTHOUSE OFFICE 30UNT/ JAIL ! m c1~ CI ~ I 2 SITE LOCATION: 512 S. Dubuque REZ03-O0021 The property for which rezoning is requested is a 90 foot by 150 foot parcel in Block 9 County Seat addition. The property address is 512 South Dubuque Street. The Applicant is the Contract Purchaser of the property. The Applicant is the owner of the property immediately to the south at 522 South Dubuque. The property to the north is the office of Security Abstract Company and the Willis Law Firm. The properties to the south in this block are comprised of structures containing only dwelling units. This property and the Willis parcel to the north are currently zoned CB-2. The balance of the block is currently zoned PRM. PRM, Planned High Density Multi-Family Residential, is a more logical zoning for this property. PRM is intended to provide" high density multi-family dwellings in centrally located areas which are in close proximity to public transportation and employment and commercial centers." Rezoning this block to PRM is consistent with the City's plan for the area south of Burlington, and other properties on this block. PRM is also consistent with the current use of the structures in the area. Since the surrounding structures are generally already used consistent with PRM, rezoning will have little impact upon surrounding properties. No public facilities or services will be impacted by the proposed rezoning.

Dubuque GENERAL INFORMATION: Applicant: University View Partners 414 E. Market Street Iowa City, IA 52245 Requested Action: Vacation of alley right-of-way. Purpose: To allow use in conjunction with redevelopment of the adjacent property. Location: 512 S. Dubuque Street Size: 20' X 90' Surrounding Zoning and Land Use: North: CB-2, Office South: PRM, Multi-family Residential East: OSA/PRM, Multifamily Residential West: P, School District Office Building Comprehensive Plan: High Density Residential File Date: August 28, BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The applicant has requested vacation of the north-south alley located adjacent to the east side of the property at 512 South Dubuque Street. It is the applicant's intent to purchase the property so that it may be used in conjunction with the redevelopment of the adjacent property. It should be noted the property owner to the east of the alley will have the right to purchase the eastern half of the alley if he chooses. If he declines the applicant will be able to purchase the entire alley from the City. ANALYSIS: This alley has never been built and steep topographic conditions indicate that it will unlikely ever be built. The alley in the southern half of this block was vacated a number of years ago. There is a sanitary sewer line located within this alley, and therefore a sanitary sewer easement will need to be retained if the alley is to be vacated. Staff has informed private utility companies of this alley vacation and has requested information about other existing utilities that may be present in the alley. If there are other utilities present, additional easements may need to be retained. 2 To the north of this property, the existing alley is paved and does provide access to the residential building located at 219 Harrison Street. This used portion of the alley will not be affected by this vacation. The alley contains regulated slopes that will be subject to the requirements of the sensitive areas ordinance. The applicant owns the adjacent property to the south, which contains similar slopes. It has been successfully developed in accordance with the sensitive areas ordinance. Staff does not believe that there is a public need for this alley. It does not provide access to other private properties in the area. Its isolated location makes it unsuitable for other public uses such as open space. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the alley located adjacent to the east side of 512 South Dubuque Street be vacated, subject to retention of any necessary utility easements.
