STAFF REPORT
To: Planning & Zoning Commission Prepared by: Tokey Boswell, Planning Intern
Item: REZ04-00022, 611 Hollywood Blvd. Date: September 15, 2004
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Applicant: City of Iowa City
Contact Person: Bob Miklo
Phone: 356-5240
Requested Action: Rezoning from I-1, General Industrial Zone to CC-2,
Community Commercial Zone
Purpose: To eliminate a spot zone and harmonize permitted
uses with neighboring properties.
Location: 611 Hollywood Blvd.
Size: 14,254 square feet (.33 acre)
Existing Land Use and Zoning: Warehouse, I-1
Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: VFW Hall and Mexican Restaurant, CC-2
South: Rental company storage lot, C1-1
East: Orscheln Farm & Home Supply, CC-2
West: Truck rental business and storage, C1-1
Comprehensive Plan: This property is part of the South Planning District,
and is at the transition of general commercial and
intensive commercial zones on the South District
Plan 2002 land-use map.
File Date: September 13, 2004
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Prior to 1983, many of the parcels in this area were zoned M1, Light Industrial zone. In 1983, a
community-wide rezoning effort labeled surrounding properties as C1-1, Intensive Commercial,
and CC-2, Community Commercial zones. This parcel, which apparently housed a potato chip
factory, was zoned I-1 due to the industrial use present at that time. It has recently come to the
City's attention that this is the only I-1 parcel in the area, and that rezoning the property would
eliminate a zoning "island". It is for this reason that the City is initiating the rezoning request.
ANALYSIS:
Spot Zoning: Rezoning this property will eliminate what is potentially an existing "spot zone" in
the community. Spot zoning occurs when a small area of land in an existing neighborhood is
singled out and placed in a different zone from that of neighboring property. This problem
typically arises when a small parcel of property held by a single owner is permitted land uses
not available to the adjacent properties. Those indicators are met in this circumstance, and
there do not appear to be any physical characteristics that would necessitate a zoning pattern
different from that of neighboring properties. Staff feels that this rezoning would eliminate an
island, which is a warning flag for spot zoning.
There is a tier of properties south of Highway 6, east of Gilbert Street, and west of Keokuk Street
that is zoned entirely for commercial uses, with the exception of this parcel in the middle of that
area. The General Industrial Zone (I-1) was intended to provide for the development of most
types of industrial firms that may have been present in the past. That designation no longer
seems appropriate for this area, given the current use of this and surrounding parcels, and the
zoning pattern in the area.
There are two options for rezoning this property that would not result in another spot zone: C1-1 or
CC-2. The Comprehensive Plan and the South District Plan indicate this parcel as a commercial
area, without more specific guidance. The Intensive Commercial Zone (Cl-1) is intended to
provide areas for those sales and service functions and businesses whose operations are typically
characterized by outdoor display, storage and/or sale of merchandise, by repair of motor vehicles,
by outdoor commercial amusement and recreational activities or by activities or operations
conducted in buildings or structures not completely enclosed. This is the predominant zoning for
property to the west and south of 611 Hollywood Blvd.
The Community Commercial Zone (CC-2) predominates in the areas east and north of this
property. It is intended to provide for major business districts to serve a significant segment of the
total community population. In addition to a variety of retail goods and services, these centers
may typically feature a number of large traffic generators. While these centers are usually
characterized by indoor operations, certain permitted uses may have limited outdoor activities.
The parcel in question does not have direct frontage on Hollywood Blvd. There is a shared
driveway for this lot and the property to the north, coming off Hollywood. The two parcels a visitor
would have to pass between in order to access the site (the VFW/Mexican restaurant and
Orscheln's) are both zoned CC-2, as are the other parcels a visitor would pass as he approached
on Hollywood. There is a clear separation between this parcel and the C1-1 use to the south, in
the form of a chain-link fence that encloses the contractor yard there. No other Cl-1 uses are
visible from this property. Therefore, while this property could house intensive commercial uses,
Staff feels that the CC-2 zoning is more appropriate.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that REZ04-00022, a rezoning of approximately .33 acres located at 611 (615)
Hollywood Blvd. from I-1, General Industrial, to CC-2, Community Commercial, be approved.

To: Whom It May Concern
Hello, my name is Vern Steve and I have a request. Currently there is a zoning
change being proposed regarding my property located at 611 Highway 6 East. It
is a warehouse building that is currently zoned I-1 (Industrial). The Planning &
Zoning Department, at my request, has recommended a change in the zoning of
this property. The recommendation, as I understand it, would be to change from
the current I-1 to CC-2.
It is my wish to have this property zoned CI-1 and at this time would like to
ask the City Council to delay the vote on this re-zoning indefinitely.
Th?you for your consideration,
Veto Steve

Comprehensive Plan: The South Central District Plan identifies
this area as appropriate for intensive or
highway commercial development.
File Date: September 23, 2004
45-Day Limitation Period: November 7, 2004
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
This property was annexed to Iowa City in 2003, as part of a larger annexation including property
on the west side of Mormon Trek Boulevard and properties owned by the Iowa City Municipal
Airport. The extension of Mormon Trek Boulevard and associated public utilities was recently
completed adjacent to this property, providing the infrastructure to support commercial
development.
This property is zoned C1-1, Intensive Commercial, which is a zone intended to provide for those
businesses characterized by outdoor display, storage and/or sales of merchandise, repair of
motor vehicles, and other operations conducted in buildings that may not be completely enclosed
such as contractor pre-assembly yards, hardware stores, etc. The C1-1 zone also allows office
uses. The applicant is proposing an 1 l-lot commercial subdivision.
ANALYSIS:
Subdivision design
The subdivision consists of two street extensions, Grace Drive and Eagle View Drive, providing
access to 11 commercial lots. Eagle View Drive is currently a chip-seal road that was constructed
as part of the Mormon Trek Boulevard project; it will be reconstructed to local street standards as
part of this project. Grace Drive is designed as a collector street, as it is planned to extend to the
east when the property to the east is annexed and developed. Though these roads are opposite
the two legs of City View Drive (on the west side of Mormon Trek Boulevard) the City requested
different street names to make emergency response and service delivery less confusing.
'Old' Dane Road will be a north-south connecting street between Grace Drive and Eagle View
Drive. At this time, Dane Road is designed as a County chip-seal road; the eastern half of the
road is still outside of City corporate limits. The applicant is dedicating right-of-way for the western
half of the road for a future street to be constructed to City standards. Staff is recommending
escrow funds be required for future reconstruction of this segment of Dane Road to city
standards; the road will be able to be reconstructed when the property to the east is annexed to
the City and is subdivided.
Access control
The plat includes a note that lots 1, 6-7, 9 and 11 shall not have direct access to Mormon Trek
Boulevard. Grace Drive and Eagle View Drive will form four-way intersections with the two legs of
City View Drive on the west side of Mormon Trek Boulevard. At the direction of staff, Grace Drive
and Eagle View Drive will each have left turn lanes (as well as right turn / through lanes) where
they intersect with Mormon Trek Boulevard. Lot 11 is proposed to have access from the property
to the east, which is planned to have an access point to Mormon Trek Boulevard opposite Dane
Road. This access point was approved as part of the access control plan developed when
Mormon Trek Boulevard was designed. An access easement agreement to this access point will
need to be recorded prior to a final plat for this property being approved.
A copy of a letter from Assistant Planning Director Davidson regarding the access control plan for
this segment of Mormon Trek Boulevard is attached.
C:\DOCUME-I\BMiklo\LOCALS-I\Temp\Davis 2 and 3 Addition.doc
Storm water management
The existing storm water management basin recently constructed to serve the Carousel Motors
development is proposed to be eliminated, and stormwater is proposed to be directed to the
property to the east, the Allegra Dane property. The basin is proposed along the south side of the
Airport property. With the final plat for this subdivision, a storm water easement plat and
agreement with the property owner will need to be recorded for the stormwater pipe and basin.
Airport / Federal Aviation Administration concerns
This subdivision is adjacent to the Iowa City Municipal Airport, which is in the design stage of
extending Runway 7 to the south west. Much of the northern portion of the subdivision is
affected by the 'Transitional Overlay' Zone of Runway 7, which is a sloping imaginary plane
sloping up from the sides of the Approach Overlay Zone. An airspace study for development
underneath the Transitional Overlay Zone will need to be approved by the FAA to ensure the
development does not penetrate the Transitional Overlay Zone, and to ensure the development
includes appropriate object markers and warning lights so pilots can differentiate between the
runway and the private development, particularly on rainy or foggy days. For example,
Carousel Motors on the west side of Mormon Trek Boulevard has red warning lights on its roof
and signs. Staff is recommending the airspace study for the infrastructure in this development,
including the storm water basin, be approved prior to final plat approval.
Water main extension fee: A water main extension fee of $395 / acre will be required.
Sanitary sewer tap-on fee: A sanitary sewer tap-on fee of approximately $3,200 / acre will be
required. These fees are required to help off-set costs to the public for extending water and
sanitary sewer mains to developing property.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB04-00023, a preliminary plat of Davis Second and Third Addition, a
19.81 acre, 11-1ot commercial subdivision, be approved, subject to escrow funds being required
with the final plat for future reconstruction of Dane Road adjacent to Lots 4 and 8, and Federal
Aviation Administration approval of the infrastructure prior to final plat approval.

Re: Access control plan for future Mormon Trek Boulevard extension between Iowa Highway
1 and Dane Road
Dear Dave:
Pursuant to our several discussions this week, the following will provide guidance for you to use
in the platting of the Davis and Dane property along the Mormon Trek Boulevard extension
between Iowa Highway 1 and Dane Road. This letter is not intended to supplant any
requirements of the platting process; it is intended to indicate an access control plan that can be
supported by City staff. This letter references the concept plan you provided us dated 5/14/03.
Beginning at Iowa Highway 1, an access point may be located in the approximate vicinity of the
temporary access easement which has been granted to the Rock's Roadhouse property. This is
approximately 350 feet from the Iowa Highway 1 intersection; it should not be moved further
north. This may be a T intersection or a four-way intersection.
Proceeding south, an access may be located at the proposed street intersection shown on the
concept plan dated 5/14/03. This ma~, be either a T intersection or a full four-way intersection,
and should provide access to commercial lots in the vicinity. This access point is located
approximately 350 feet from the Rock's Roadhouse temporary access easement.
Proceeding south, an access point may be located opposite the proposed intersection of
relocated Dane Road. This would provide access to lots on the Davis property, including the
proposed lots 8 and 9 which shall not have direct access to Mormon Trek Boulevard. This
access point is located approximately 500 feet from the access point discussed in the preceding
paragraph.
Proceeding south, a four-way intersection is proposed at the location where Dane Road wilt be
intersecting Mormon Trek Boulevard Extended from the south. This will be a four-way
intersection that also provides access to the Dane and Davis properties. This access point is
approximately 850 feet from the access point discussed in the preceding paragraph.
To conclude, three new access points are proposed between Iowa Highway 1 and the existing
alignment of Dane Road. These are to be three-way T intersections or full four-way
intersections, and all should be designed so that they could accommodate a traffic signal in the
future if warranted. A design should be used with separated left and through/right lanes on all
410 EAST WASHINGTON STREET · IOWA CITY, iOWA 52240- i826 . (319) 356-5000 . FAX (3i9) 356-5009
access points exiting onto Mormon Trek Boulevard. There shall be no offset intersections. There
shall be no additional lot access to Mormon Trek Boulevard. Cross-access easements between
lots and street alignments within the subdivision will be determined during the platting process.
All items included in this letter are consistent with the zoning code revisions being prepared for
the City Council.
Let me know if there are any questions.
Sincerely, ~
