CN-1 Zone -- Parking location
At the work session on April 10, there was some discussion of the location of parking in the
Neighborhood Commercial Zone (CN-1). This was in connection with the proposal to reduce the
parking requirement in this zone.
Currently, there are two sections of the Zoning Ordinance which deal with the location of parking--
the parking requirements and the CN-1 zone. In the general parking requirements, parking is
permitted in the rear yard of a property; in the side yard except for the space contiguous to a
building; and in the front yard of commercial zones except when the parking area would be 50
feet from a residential zone boundary. The "Design Provisions" of the CN-1 zone emphasize
pedestrian accessibility and state that "Parking lot layout shall take pedestrian cimulation into
consideration:..." There are no absolute prohibitions or directives on where parking should be
located.
At this point, the staff's feeling is that the flexibility regarding location is acceptable and desirable.
Particularly in the CN-1 zone, where we are trying to fit the commercial uses into a residential
setting, there are times when the location of parking is desirable in the front or the back yard,
If the Council would like us to evaluate this issue furlher, we would be happy to do so. However,
at this time I would advocate proceeding with the amendment before the Council. Consideration
of other aspects of the CN-1 zone continue to be on the Urban Planning Division's work program.

ORDINANCE NO, 95-3673
ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 14, CHAPTER
6, ENTITLED "ZONING," OF THE CITY CODE
BY REVISING ARTICLE L, ENTITLED "PROVi-
SIONAL USES AND SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS,"
SECTION 1M, ENTITLED "NEIGHBORHOOD
CENTERS," TO REPEAL THE ACCESS RE-
QUIREMENT FOR NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS.
WHEREAS, neighborhood centers located in
medium density residential zones are required
to be located with access to arterial or collector
streets, and are not permitted to access local
streets; and
WHEREAS, the definition for "neighborhood
centers," as set forth in Zoning Chapter Section
14-6B-2, stipulates that neighborhood centers
are to provide services "intended primarily,
though not exclusively, for those persons living
within a mile radius of the center;" and
WHEREAS, the emphasis of neighborhood
centers to serve walk-in clients, who reside in
the surrounding residential neighborhood,
lessens the expected vehicular traffic generated
by such a facility; and
WHEREAS, neighborhood centers are not
permitted in lower density residential zones,
where concern about undue traffic on local
streets is greatest; and
WHEREAS, in high density single-family resi-
dential zones and lower density multi-family
residential zones, neighborhood c3nters are
only permitted by special exception, and there-
by receive additional scrutiny by the Board of
Adjustment concerning traffic generation and
the impact of such a use accessing a local
street; and
WHEREAS, restricting neighborhood center
access to arterial and collector streets is thus
unwarranted.

CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IOWA CITY,
IOWA:
