After reviewing the submitted design of the sidewalk caf6, I have determined that the
design of the caf~ is substantially the same as the design approved in previous years.
The committee has indicated that if the renewal application design is substantially the
same as the previously approved design, the Committee does not need to meet to
review the application. Therefore, the Committee will not be meeting over this
application.
There are no changes from the previous year. The applicant has indicated that the
sidewalk caf~ furniture, roping and planters will be the same as the previous year.
There will be Terrazzo Green Table Tops, Hunter Green Table Base and Green Resin
Chairs. The roping is self storing webbing which extends between the poles. This
application has the recommended approval of the design review committee.

Re: Peninsula Development Agreement
There is an item on your agenda for June 20 for consideration of a resolution to
approve the development agreement for the Peninsula. The resolution and the
Agreement are not in your packet but will be forwarded to you under separate
cover. We are still working through some details of language between the
respective parties and hope to have the final document completed by Friday,
June 16, 2000.
If we are not able to complete the document in time for you to review it before
Monday evening, we will ask the Council to schedule a brief special meeting prior
to July 1, 2000. Thank you for your patience; this is a fairly complicated and
important document and we want to make sure it is in order.

MEMORANDUM
Date: June 20, 2000
To: Steve Atkins, City Manager
From: Joe Fowler, Director, Parking & Transit
Re: University Heights Bus Service
The City of Iowa City has a contract to provide fixed route transit service to University Heights.
Because of University Heights' unique location the contract is beneficial to both cities. For Iowa
City buses to provide transit service between the west side of Iowa City and the University of
Iowa west campus, traveling University Heights streets is the most direct route. At the same
time, Iowa City buses traveling through University Heights allows University Heights to offer
transit service to their residents.
At the present time there are three Iowa City transit routes that service University Heights, the
Oakcrest, Westwinds, and Plaenview routes. All three mutes operate Monday through Fdday
from 6:30 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. After 7:00 p.m. and on Saturdays the Westwinds and Plaen View
mutes are combined and the Oakcrest is combined with the Westpo~ route.
During daytime operating hours the Oakcrest route uses Melrose Avenue from the city limits to
Sunset Street and then travels west to Oakcrest Street. It returns to Iowa City using the same
streets. The Westwinds mute uses Melrose Avenue from the east to the west city limits for both
its outbound and inbound trips. The Plaen View route travels west on Melrose to Sunset Street
and the south on Sunset to the University Heights city limits. On its inbound trip it travels
Melrose from the west to the east city limits. Between 6:30 a.m. and 6:45 p.m. these routes
service University Heights 58 times.
Beginning at 6:30 p.m. and on Saturdays the mutes change. The Oakcest route uses the same
outbound route as daytime service but does not return to downtown through University Heights.
The Westwinds and Plaen View routes are combined. The combined route travels outbound on
Melrose through University Heights to the west city limits and returns the same way. There are
ten tdps servicing University Heights in the evening. On Saturday there are 26 trips.
During the public school year the West Side Loop travels through University Heights twice a day
Monday through Friday. In the morning it follows the same route as the Plaen View and in the
afternoon it reverses on the same streets.
Avoiding traveling through University Heights would increase travel time for Iowa City
passengers. The increased travel time would have a negative impact on transit ridership.

DECLARATION OF CONDOMINIUM
TOWER PLACE AND PARKING
PREFACE: The Declarant, the City of Iowa City, has deemed it in the public interest to construct a
public parking facility at the corner of Iowa Avenue and Linn Street in Iowa City, Iowa, which public
parking structure is to include a private parking area appurtenant to a public housing facility, as well
as certain privately owned commercial units in a horizontal property regime. As a result of this
unusual combination of various ownerships, certain departures from condominium practice are
implied. Among those departures is the fact that the basic structure is not a common element as
defined by the Horizontal Property Act, but is part of the unit retained by the Declarant. The
common elements subject to common ownership and a portion of expenses are deliberately few in
number. The association of owners, denominated by the declaration as the Council of Co-owners,
has a limited role and is formed as an unincorporated association, meeting only on an ad hoc basis to
perform the limited functions necessary.
The Declarant, therefore, states that the land described in Article I, Paragraph A of this declaration is
hereby submitted to a horizontal property regime as defined by Chapter 499B, Code of Iowa (1999)
named Tower Place and Parking, to be subject to the covenants, conditions, uses, limitations and
obligations as specified in this declaration.
ARTICLE I
DESCRIPTION OF LAND AND BUILDING
A. Land. The land submitted to the regime herein described is as follows: Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4,
Block 61, Iowa City, Iowa, according to the recorded plat thereof.
B. Description of Building. The building subject to the regime shall be a 6-level parking facility
including spaces for commercial units on the west end, as well as commercial spaces at the
northeast corner of the building along Iowa Avenue, and along Gilbert Street. The
commercial units on the street level along Linn Street shall be constructed so as to allow the
later construction of a mezzanine. The configuration of the building and the composite
building materials are all shown of record on the building plans attached hereto as Exhibit A.
ARTICLE II
UNITS
The units of the condominium regime, being those areas susceptible of separate ownership as
described by the Horizontal Property Act are relatively located as shown on the schematic diagram
filed with this Declaration as Exhibit B and are further described as follows:
A. Unit 1A.
1. Definition of Space. Unit 1A is located at the southwest corner of the street level of
the structure, consists of 3,827 square feet and allows for future construction of a
mezzanine having 1,627 square feet, as shown on plan attached as Exhibit "A". The
unit is bounded on the bottom by finished floor elevation of 680.00, on the top by
the finished ceiling elevation of 702.00, and on the sides by the inside surfaces of
the wall separating Unit 1A from the remainder of the structure and from the outside.
Unit 1A excludes the stairway located at the southeast corner, as such stairway
exists between the bottom elevation of Unit 1A and the top elevation of Unit 2A,
which stairway is a limited common element appurtenant to Units 1A and 2A as
defined herein.
2. Easements Appurtenant to Unit 1A. The owner of Unit 1A shall be entitled to the
right of access to said unit over and across the portion of Unit 3 labeled on the plans
as Exit Court, which Exit Court accesses the public street and the public elevators
and stairways at the east end of the Exit Court, which in turn has access to the
public parking on each of the parking levels.
3. Limited Common Elements Appurtenant to Unit 1A. Appurtenant to Unit 1A, and
therefore devolving to succeeding owners of Unit 1A without special reference to
such rights appearing in the conveyance documents are the following ownership
rights which are limited common elements of the condominium regime.
a. An undivided one-half interest in the stairway at the southeast corner of Unit
1 A, bounded on the bottom by bottom elevation of Unit 1 A, on the top by
the top elevation of Unit 2A, on the sides by the inside surfaces of the
concrete walls defining the stairwell. Maintenance responsibilities shall be
apportioned between the owners of Units 1A and 2A, as those owners may
from time to time determine by written or unwritten, recorded or unrecorded
agreement. The City shall have no maintenance responsibilities for this
stairway. The door from the stairway to the exterior shall be part of Unit 3,
but shall be maintained by the owners of Units 1A and 2A, as they may
determine.
2
b. Seven City of Iowa City parking permits for parking without fee in the
parking portion of the regime, two of which are to be specifically located on
the ground level of the parking in the south parking bay directly east of the
transformer. These parking rights may not be sold or assigned separately
from Unit 1 A,
B. Unit 1B.
1. Definition of Space. Unit 1B is located at the northwest corner of the street level of
the structure, consists of 3,958 square feet and allows for future construction of a
mezzanine having 1,638 square feet, as shown on plan attached as Exhibit "A". The
unit is bounded on the bottom by finished floor elevation of 680.00, on the top by
the finished ceiling elevation of 702.00, and on the sides by the inside surfaces of
the wall separating Unit 1 B from the remainder of the structure and from the outside.
Unit 1B excludes the stairway located at the northeast corner, as such stairway
exists between the bottom elevation of Unit 1B and the top elevation of Unit 2A,
which stairway is a limited common element to Units 1 B and 2A as defined herein.
2. Easements Appurtenant to Unit 18. The owner of Unit 18 shall have the right of
access over and across that portion of Unit 3 labeled on the plans attached as Exhibit
B as the Exit Court, which Exit Court accesses the public street and the public
elevators and stairways at the east end of the Exit Court, which in turn has access to
the public parking on each of the parking levels.
3. Limited Common Elements Appurtenant to Unit 1-B. Appurtenant to Unit 1 B, and
therefore devolving to succeeding owners of Unit 1B without special reference to
such rights appearing in the conveyance documents are the following ownership
rights which are limited common elements of the condominium regime.
a. An undivided one-half interest in the stairway at the northeast corner of Unit
1 B, bounded on the bottom by the bottom elevation of Unit 18, on the top

boundaries of the various units (except Unit 3) to be the "inside surfaces" of the
walls forming the units. Each of these walls is a poured concrete wall, such that the
unit boundary is to be the surface of the wall closest to the unit being defined.
Similarly, the floors and ceilings are formed by poured concrete surfaces, such that
the horizontal unit boundaries are the concrete surfaces of the floor and ceiling close
to the unit being defined. The implication of these definitions is that Unit 3 contains
all concrete walls, floors and ceilings, but the individual units include all studs,
drywall, subflooring, drop ceilings or other structural elements affixed to the concrete
surfaces.
2. Variations in Floor and Ceiling Elevation Due to Construction Irregularities. The inside
surface of any floor or ceiling for which an elevation is given above as a defining
plane of any unit varies, due to construction irregularities, from the planned
elevation, the unit shall be defined by the surface as actually constructed.
3. Projection of Structural Elements Below Top Elevation of a Unit. There shall be
excepted from each unit (except Unit 3) any portion of a structural element
contributing to the rigidity of the building which projects below the elevation stated
above as the top surface of the unit,
4. Subdivision of Units. Units 1 A, 1 B, 1 C, 1 D, 1F and 2A may be subdivided into
smaller units, susceptible of separate ownership, subject to the following limitations:
a. No division shall affect the exterior integrity of the structure without the
express permission of the owner of Unit 3, as expressed by the City Manager
or his designee.
b. No resulting unit shall be smaller than the original size of Unit 1-E. (Unit 1-E
is therefore not subject to subdivision).
c. All procedures for subdivision specified below are followed.
5. Procedures to Subdivide. In order to make a unit susceptible of subdivision eligible
for separate ownership, the owner of the unit to be subdivided shall file with the
Johnson County Recorder a document entitled "Amendment of Declaration of
Condominium for Subdivision Purposes", which document shall contain the following
provisions:
a. A description of the newly created subunits, as illustrated by a graphic
representation filed with the amendment.
b. A unique designation for each subunit, using as a basis the original unit
designation.
Example: If Unit 1A is to be divided into two subunits, the filed
documents should designate the subunits as Unit 1-A-
1 and Unit 1-A-2.
c. An allocation of easements to which the original unit is subject and which
are appurtenant to the original unit among the respective subunits,
d, An allocation among the proposed subunits of the percentages of
responsibility for common expenses and of voting power originally assigned
by this Declaration to the unit to be subdivided, based on relative areas of the
property subunit,
e. Special Restrictions on the Subdivision of Unit 1 F. In addition to the
requirement of subparagraphs a, b, c, and d, no subdivision of Unit 1 F shall
involve relocation of the entrance to the parking area from Gilbert Street or
involve the use of any subunit for short-term parking.
6. Cross-Easements. Each unit is entitled to an easement over all other units for the
placement, operation, maintenance and replacement of utility services, such as gas,
electric, water and sewer, telephone, cable television and any other service utility, as
shown on the plans filed with this Declaration.
7. References to the City. Throughout this declaration, references are made to "The
Declarant", "The City", and "The Owner of Unit 3." All of these terms are
interchangeable and refer to the City of Iowa City, Iowa.

EXHIBIT "A"
DECLARATION OF CONDOMINIUM
TOWER PLACE AND PARKING
PREFACE: The Declarant, the City of Iowa City, has deemed it in the public interest to construct a
public parking facility at the corner of Iowa Avenue and Linn Street in Iowa City, Iowa, which public
parking structure is to include a private parking area appurtenant to a public housing facility, as well
as certain privately owned commercial units in a horizontal property regime. As a result of this
unusual combination of various ownerships, certain departures from condominium practice are
implied. Among those departures is the fact that the basic structure is not a common element as
defined by the Horizontal Property Act, but is part of the unit retained by the Declarant. The
common elements subject to common ownership and a portion of expenses are deliberately few in
number. The association of owners, denominated by the declaration as the Council of Co-owners,
has a limited role and is formed as an unincorporated association, meeting only on an ad hoc basis to
perform the limited functions necessary.
The Declarant, therefore, states that the land described in Article I, Paragraph A of this declaration is
hereby submitted to a horizontal property regime as defined by Chapter 499B, Code of Iowa (1999)
named Tower Place and Parking, to be subject to the covenants, conditions, uses, limitations and
obligations as specified in this declaration.

including spaces for commert~ial units on the west end, as well as commercial spaces at the
northeast corner of the building along Iowa Avenue, and along Gilbert Street. The

later construction of a mezzanine. The configuration of the building and the composite
building materials are all shown of record on the building plans attached hereto as Exhibit A.

I. Provisions Applicable to all Units (Except Unit 3)
1. Defining Surfaces of Units (Except Unit 3). The unit definitions above describe the
boundaries of the various units (except Unit 3) to be the "inside surfaces" of the
walls forming the units. Each of these walls is a poured concrete wall, such that the
unit boundary is to be the surface of the wall closest to the unit being defined,
Similarly, the floors and ceilings are formed by poured concrete surfaces, such that
the horizontal unit boundaries are the concrete surfaces of the floor and ceiling close
to the unit being defined. The implication of these definitions is that Unit 3 contains
all concrete walls, floors and ceilings, but the individual units include aH studs,
drywall, subflooring, drop ceilings or other structural elements affixed to the concrete
surfaces.
2. Variations in Floor and Ceiling Elevation Due to Construction Irregularities. The inside
surface of any floor or ceiling for which an elevation is given above as a defining
plane of any unit varies, due to construction irregularities, from the planned
elevation, the unit shall be defined by the surface as actually constructed,

excepted from each unit (except Unit 3) any portion of a structural element
contributing to the rigidity of the building which projects below the elevation stated
above as the top surface of the unit.
4. Subdivision of Units. Units 1 A, 1 B, 1 C, 1 D, 1F and 2A may be subdivided into
smaller units, susceptible of separate ownership, subject to the following limitations:
a. No division shall affect the exterior integrity of the structure without the
express permission of the owner of Unit 3, as expressed by the City Manager
or his designee.
b. No resulting unit shall be smaller than the original size of Unit 1-E. (Unit 1-E
is therefore not subject to subdivision).
c. All procedures for subdivision specified below are followed.
8
5. Procedures to Subdivide. In order to make a unit susceptible of subdivision eligible
for separate ownership, the owner of the unit to be subdivided shall file with the
Johnson County Recorder a document entitled "Amendment of Declaration of .,
Condominiurn for Subdivision Purposes", which document shall contain the following
provisions:
a. A description of the newly created subunits, as illustrated by a graphic
representation filed with the amendment.
b. A unique designation for each subunit, using as a basis the original unit
designation.
Example: If Unit 1A is to be divided into two subunits, the filed
documents should designate the subunits as Unit 1-A-
1 and Unit 1-A-2.
c. An allocation of easements to which the original unit is subject and which
are appurtenant to the original unit among the respective subunits.
d. An allocation among the proposed subunits of the percentages of
responsibility for common expenses and of voting power originally assigned
by this Declaration to the unit to be subdivided, based on relative areas of the
property subunit.
e. Special Restrictions on the Subdivision of Unit 1F. In addition to the
requirement of subparagraphs a, b, c, and d, no subdivision of Unit 1F shall
involve relocation of the entrance to the parking area from Gilbert Street or
involve the use of any subunit for short-term parking.
6. Cross-Easements. Each unit is entitled to an easement over all other units for the
placement, operation, maintenance and replacement of utility services, such as gas,
electric, water and sewer, telephone, cable television and any other service utility, as
shown on the plans filed with this Declaration.
7. References to the City. Throughout this declaration, references are made to "The
Declarant", "The City", and "The Owner of Unit 3." All of these terms are
interchangeable and refer to the City of Iowa City, Iowa.

Procedures for Review of Projects
in Historic or Conservation Overlay Zones
I. APPLICABILITY
In a city designated historic or conservation district or for any city designated historic
landmarks, any exterior alterations or new construction which require a City permit must
be approved by the Historic Preservation Commission. Examples of alterations or
construction that may require approval include, but are not limited to, an addition to a
building, construction of a porch, construction of a garage, or demolition of a building.
Examples of exterior work that do not require historic preservation review include house
painting and reroofing of a single-family or duplex residence when no structural members
are involved. The installation of replacement windows or new siding does require review
within a historic district or for a historic landmark.
II. INITIATING REVIEW
Prior to or upon application for a permit to move or demolish a building, to alter an existing
structure, or to construct a new building in a historic or conservation district or on a historic
landmark property, the project will require a Cedi~cate of No Material Effect or a
Certificate of Appropriateness. These Certificates will be part of the building, house
moving or demolition permit approval process. No project may begin until both the historic
preservation and building inspection review processes have been completed.
III. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS - -
In reviewing applications, the standards enumerated in the Secretary of Interior's
Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings and
locally adopted guidelines, if any, shall be applied.
IV. APPLYING FOR A CERTIFICATE
Application for a Certificate of Appropriateness is obtained from the Iowa City Building
Division of the Housing and Inspection Services Department or from the Department of
Planning and Community Development. This Application must be filed prior to or as part of
the building, house moving or demolition permit application process. The applicant must
submit the application form, a site plan, elevation drawings, and photographs of the
property to be altered or demolished. The plan and drawings need not be professionally
prepared, but must clearly indicate the extent and type of alteration being requested. The
applicant may submit additional materials as desired or as may be requested by the
Secretary of the Commission. The application will be submitted to the Department of
Planning and Community Development, located in the Civic Center at 410 E. Washington
Street, Iowa City, Iowa.
V. CERTIFICATE QF NO MATERIAL EFFECT
Upon receiving application for a certificate of appropriateness the Secretary of the
Commission shall review the application to assess its potential impact on the appearance
of the exterior of the property. If, in the opinion of the Secretary, the work will have no
effect on any significant architectural features of a building within a historic district or a
landmark, the Secretary shall contact the Chair of the Commission, or designee to discuss
whether or not a Certificate of No Material Effect should be issued. If a Cedificate of No
Material Effect is issued, the project may proceed upon the issuance of all other required
permits by the Building Inspection Division of the Department of Housing and Inspection
Services. If a Certificate of No Material Effect is not issued, a Certificate of
Appropriateness is required before any work can be undertaken toward completion of the
proposed alterations, demolition, or construction. Review of applications for Certificates of
Appropriateness within conservation districts shall follow the above procedure, subject to
the levels of review specified within each individual conservation district report.
VI. CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
A. Regular Monthly Meeting: The Historic Preservation Commission shall designate a
time and place where it will hold a regular monthly meeting for the purposes of
considering applications for Certificates of Appropriateness and for discussing and
conducting other Commission business. Public Notice of the meetings shall be given
to news media and posted in the lobby of the Civic Center, located at 410 E.
Washington Street, Iowa City, Iowa. The meetings shall be open to the public.
B. Certificate Review Meeting: In addition to its regular monthly meeting, the Historic
Preservation Commission shall designate a time and place each month when and
where it will hold a certificate review meeting to review applications for Certificates of
Appropriateness. The Commission will meet at that time to only review such
applications. If no such applications have been made, the Commission need not
meet. Public notice of the meetings shall be given to news media and posted in the
lobby of the Civic Center, located at 410 E. Washington Street, Iowa City, Iowa. The
meetings shall be open to the public.
C. Application Deadline: In order to facilitate the review process, an application for a
Certificate of Appropriateness must be received in the Department of Planning and
Community Development at least eight (8)'working days before the date of a
scheduled regular or certificate review meeting.
D. Commission Decision: If the Commission, after review, determines the application
can be approved as submitted or with minor revisions, it shall approve a Certificate
of Appropriateness and issue its findings as specified in City Code Section 14-
4C-7D. If the Commission determines the application requires major changes or
additional information is needed, the Commission may defer consideration of the
application to a future regular or certificate review meeting. In such event, the
Applicant shall be informed in writing of the time and place of such meeting. If, after
working with the applicant to attempt to resolve inconsistencies or conflicts between
the work proposed in the application and the above referenced standards, the
Commission determines that the application is still in conflict with the standards (see
Section III), it shall deny the application and issue its findings as specified in City
Code Section 14-4C-7D.
VII. COMMISSION MEETING FORMAT
A quorum of a majority of the voting members of the Commission is required for any
meeting. At the meeting, the Commission will hear first from staff to gain background
information about the application and receive a recommendation, if requested. The
Commission will then hear from the applicant or his/her designated representative. All site
plans, elevation drawings, photographs, and other materials shall be made available to the
Commission at this time. The Commission members will then have the opportunity to
question both staff and the applicant, Members of the public will be invited to present their
views. Every effod will be made to work with the applicant to achieve a project design
which will meet the standards of the Commission and the needs of the applicant. The
Commission may approve, modify, or disapprove the application. An affirmative vote of a
majority of those members present is needed to approve or modify an application. The
ppdadmin/hist-gdl2.doc 2
Commission's findings on each application shall be set forth in a written resolution, to be
filed in the City Clerk's office as a public record.
VIII, APPEAL
If an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness is approved, then the applicant may
continue with the permit process. If the application is denied, the applicant has ten (1 O)
working days after the Commission's resolution is filed in the City Clerk's office to file a
written appeal to the City Council. The appeal may be made by letter to the City Council.

CITY OF I0 WA CITY
Prepared for the Thursday, April 13, 2000 public hearing before the Iowa City Historic
Preservation Commission, 5:30 p.m., Civic Center Council Chambers, 410 E Washington.

A public hearing before the City Council is scheduled for June 13, 2000 at 7 p.m. in the Civic
Center Council Chambers.
A FEW WORDS ABOUT HISTORIC PRESERVATION IN IOWA CITY
· The Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission was created by local ordinance in December
1982. Its mission statement as described in the Iowa City Histodc Preservation Plan is "...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." Its members are
citizen volunteers appointed by the City Council. Many of the members reside in historic
districts and have expertise in fields related to historic preservation.
· The Historic Preservation Commission, the City Council, and individual property owners are
in the process of implementing the Iowa City Historic Preservation Plan that was adopted in
December of 1992. Respecting the unique character of each neighborhood in Iowa City,
the plan calls for the study of twelve separate neighborhoods to determine if sufficient
historic resources exist to allow the establishment of historic or conservation districts. The
purpose of these districts is to preserve historic architectural resources by discouraging
alterations that either destroy the unique characteristics of a building or alter the character of
historic neighborhoods.
· Within historic and conservation districts, the Historic Preservation Commission reviews any
exterior changes that require a regulated building permit. Changes requiring the
Commission's approval include alterations, additions, new construction, and demolition. In
making its decisions, the Commission considers the appropriateness of design features such
as mass and scale, architectural details, type of building materials, and the relationship of the
building to others along the street.
· Designation as a historic or conservation district can help to stabilize and improve
neighborhoods. The commitment of a neighborhood to historic preservation can lead to the
improvement of existing buildings and prevent development that is inconsistent with the
historic character of the neighborhood.
· Several neighborhoods identified in the Iowa City Historic Preservation Plan have already
been established as historic districts, and more will be considered in the near future. In all,
these districts contain hundreds of historic properties that line the streets and create the
pedestrian urban spaces that define our neighborhoods. The Commission believes that the
implementation of the Historic Preservation Plan is vital to protecting and preserving our
city's rich architectural heritage, and we urge your support and cooperation as this process
moves forward.

THE IOWA CITY HISTORIC PRESERVATION HANDBOOK
Purpose of the Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook
The purpose of the handbook is to:
· Identify the defining characteristics of each individual histodc or conservation district.
· Provide comprehensive design guidelines for construction projects within each district.
· Provide property owners with design criteria that will be the basis for approving or denying
certificates of appropriateness for their construction drawings.
Where the Iowa City Guidelines Apply
These guidelines apply to all buildings within historic districts and conservation districts as well as
to historic landmarks. All construction projects that change the exterior features of a building and
require a regulated permit must comply with these guidelines. For the construction of new
buildings that contain three or more dwelling units, the Iowa City Historic Preservation
Commission uses the section of this book entitled Multi-Family Construction Guidelines as a basis
for approving or denying certificates of appropriateness.
Building Code and Zoning Ordinances
The requirements of the building code and the zoning chapter must be met in addition to the
requirements of the historic preservation guidelines. For certain criteria such as mass, scale, size,
siting considerations, and setback from the street, the historic preservation guidelines may be
more stringent than the building code or the zoning chapter.
Historic Landmarks
Alterations and additions to Historic Landmarks must comply with the Iowa City Guidelines.
Alternative Designs
Alternative design solutions or exceptions to the Iowa City Guidelines, the Multi-Family
Construction Guidelines, or the individual district guidelines may be considered by the Iowa City
Historic Preservation Commission. The intent in considering alternative designs is to allow
architectural flexibility in exceptional circumstances. The intent is not to reduce the scope or
quality of work required by these guidelines.
ppdadm/hpc-handbk. doc 3
Definitions of Key Terms
Histodc District: An area that contains contiguous properties under diverse ownership that:
A. Are significant to Amedcan history, architecture, archaeology and culture, or Iowa City's
history, architecture, archaeology and culture; or
B. Possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials and workership; or
C. Are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns
of our history; or
D. Are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or
E. Embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, method of construction; represent
the work of a master; possess high artistic values; represent a significant and
distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or
F. Have yielded or may be likely to yield information important in prehistory or history.
Conservation District: An area that contains contiguous pieces of property under diverse
ownership in which the majority of the structures are at least fifty (50) years old and in which no
more than sixty percent (60%) of the structures are of a quality, integrity, and condition that would
qualify for historic district designation. The area must also:
A. Represent the traditional character of Iowa City neighborhoods through architectural
characteristics, building scale, building setback, and streetscape design; or
B. Exemplify a pattern of neighborhood settlement of development significant to the cultural
history or tradition of Iowa City; or
C. Represent unique or unusual physical character that creates distinctiveness.
Contributing Structure: A structure that is an integral part of the historic theme in a historic or
conservation district. The Histodc Preservation Commission determines which structures are
contributing and lists them in the individual district guidelines.
Noncontributing Structure: Structures not listed as contributing structures.
Priman/Structure: The inhabited building on a lot that is normally the largest and faces the street.
Most often a house is the pdmary structure in historic districts.
Street Elevation: All roof and wall surfaces that face the street. These would be depicted in an
architectural drawing called a street "elevation".
Alteration: A modification to the exterior of a building that does not increase its size.
ppdadm/hpc-handbk, doc 4
Setback Addition: An addition built behind the existing structure, opposite the street facade, that
has ~ setback of eight or more inches on the sides and a roof that is no higher than the existing
roof. When viewed from the street, the addition must be narrower and no taller than the existing
structure. No part of the setback addition is visible on the street elevation.
Categories of Compliance
The architectural character of each histodc and conservation distdct in Iowa City is unique. Not all
of the properties within each distdct are historic. In order to address the individual nature of the
distdcts and also to be as flexible as possible with non-historic properties, the Histodc
Preservation Commission has developed four different categories of compliance. This makes it
possible for owners and contractors to identify those guidelines that are applicable to a particular
project. The chart on the next page shows the type of project in the first column and the
guidelines that apply in the last four columns. These are the guidelines the Commission uses
when considering certificates of appropriateness. The four categories of compliance are listed
below.
· Iowa City Guidelines (Category I): This category provides guidelines for maintenance,
alterations, and additions to historic landmarks and contributing structures in historic districts.
The guidelines for this category were written by' the Iowa City Historic Preservation
Commission and are based upon the Secretan/of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation.
· Iowa City Guidelines with Exceptions (Category II): This category provides guidelines for
alterations and additions to noncontributing structures in historic districts, for properties that lie
within conservation districts, and for setback additions to historic properties that meet the
setback addition requirements (page 5) to visually distinguish the addition from the historic
property.
· Architecture Compatible to Individual District (Category III): This category provides guidelines
for new structures within historic or conservation districts. The guidelines establish
architectural design criteria based upon the defining characteristics of each individual district.
To locate the individual district guidelines, refer to the Table of Contents.
· Site and Scale Compatible to Individual District (Category IV): This category provides
guidelines for additions and new buildings within historic or conservation districts and is written
to accommodate any architectural style or age. The guidelines establish scale and site
considerations based upon the defining characteristics of each individual district, To locate the
individual district guidelines, refer to the Table of Contents.
Note: If the guidelines for an individual district (Category III & IV) have not yet been approved,
then the Secretan/of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation will serve in their place.
ppdaarn/hpc~nandbk. doc 5
Categories of Compliance (continued)
To use the table below, locate the appropriate type of project in the first column and move across
the row to determine the categories that apply depending on whether the structure is located in a
histodc distdct or in a conservation district. The project need conform to only those categories
indicated. Within each district's individual guidelines, one can find a listing of all contributing
structures. To locate the individual distdct guidelines, refer to the Table of Contents. Example: an
alteration to a primary structure, i.e., a main house, considered a contributing structure would
need to comply with the Iowa City Guidelines in a historic distdct and with the Iowa City Guidelines
with Exceptions in a conservation district.

THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR'S STANDARDS FOR REHABILITATION
· The Secretan/of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation (Standards) were originally wdtten
to determine the appropriateness of proposed project work on properties that were listed on
the National Register of Histodc Places. The Standards are accompanied by instructions
concerning methods, materials, historical character, and other considerations that relate to the
historical significance of the particular property and its surroundings. The Standards have
been widely accepted by state, county, and city governments.
· The Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission uses the Standards to determine the
appropriateness of exterior changes to Historic Landmarks and properties that are designated
as contributing structures in historic districts. The Standards apply to all maintenance,
alteration, and additions to contributing structures in historic districts except for setback
additions as defined on page 5.
· The Standards served as a starting point for writing the Iowa City Guidelines.
· The Standards are listed below.
(1) A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires
minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment.
(2) The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic
materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided.
(3) Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place and use. Changes
that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or
architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken.
{4) Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in
their own right shall be retained and preserved.
(5) Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that
characterizes a histodc property shall be preserved.
(6) Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of
deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old
design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement
of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence.
ppdadm/hlx:-tlandbk,doc 7
(7) Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to histodc
materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be
undertaken using the gentlest means possible.
(8) Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved. If
such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken.
(9) New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy histodc
materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and
shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the
historic integrity of the property and its environment.
(10) New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a
manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property
and its environment would be unimpaired.
IOWA CITY GUIDELINES
· The Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission relied upon the Standards while writing the
guidelines that comprise the category Iowa City Guidelines. These guidelines were written to
provide more detailed guidance to property owners and builders as they design their
construction projects. The Commission believes that the Iowa City Guidelines will be
complete enough to address most projects; however, there may be occasions when the
Commission refers to portions of the Standards and their accompanying instructions in
determining certain issues.
· Most sections of Iowa City Guidelines include provisions that apply only to those projects that
fit into the category Iowa City Guidelines with Exceptions. Those projects are: additions and
alterations to noncontributing structures in historic districts, setback additions to contributing
structures in historic districts that meet the setback addition requirements (page 5), and

expensive to undertake projects that do not directly affect the appearance of contributing

FOUNDATIONS
Foundations provide a base for a building and make a transition from the walls above ground to
the walls or supports below ground. The amount of exposed foundation vades with historic
structures but is typically 12 to 30 inches. On brick or stone structures the foundation material
may be different in color and texture than the wall material, and the two are often separated by a
belt course of yet another material.

MASONRY
Masonry is designed to resist weathering without paint or any other protective coating while
retaining an appealing appearance. As such, it is a relatively maintenance-free material. When
there is deterioration of masonry, the single most important step is to locate and repair the cause
of the problem before going to the expense and trouble to repair the masonry. When repairing
masonry, three important properties should be considered: hardness, dimension, and color.

WOOD
Most of the structures in Iowa City's historic districts are of wood frame construction and have
wood siding. Many dwellings have wood elements such as trim, windows, doors, porches,
comices, decorative elements, and pediments. While wood is relatively inexpensive, durable, and
easy to work with, it must be maintained properly to have a long life.

MASS AND ROOF LINES
Mass and roof pitch are essential in defining histodc styles. Most of the roofs in histodc
neighborhoods were originally sawn cedar shingles. The texture of the wood shingles on the
steep-pitched roofs was a prominent feature of historic neighborhoods eady in the last century. A
building permit is not required for replacing shingles and therefore the color of shingles is not
enforced by city ordinance.

SIDING
Wood siding is prevalent throughout the historic neighborhoods in Iowa City. Most often it is plain
bevel type with an exposure between 3 and 5 inches; however, it is sometimes tongue and
groove, shiplap, or shingle type. This wood siding along with the tdm details and a multitude of
paint colors combine to make one of the most important defining characteristics of the histodc
districts. This display of detail and color is essential to the character of the old neighborhoods,
and therefore must be protected by the design guidelines.
The primary threat to the traditional appearance of the old neighborhoods has come with the
application of synthetic siding. This has been installed in an effort to avoid periodic painting.
While synthetic siding will last longer than a paint job, it does deteriorate over time and does need
to be replaced when it fades, cracks, dents, or deteriorates. The application of synthetic siding
covers many architectural details of a building, damages the original siding and trim, and in some
cases, necessitates the removal of historic elements altogether. For all of the reasons stated
above, the covering of historic properties with synthetic siding is not allowed.

PAINT AND COLOR
Paint schemes should be simple. One color for the body of the house, one for the trim, and one
for accent is usually enough. Colors should be selected to complement the style and period of the
building. The Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission has literature that recommends
historically appropriate paint colors. For information please contact the planning office. A building
permit is not required for painting and these recommendations are not enforced by city
ordinances.

HANDICAP ACCESSIBILITY
The Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission will approve certificates of appropriateness for
modifications that accommodate reasonable access and use by disabled occupants provided
those modifications do not significantly alter the historic character of the building. The Histodc
Preservation Commission will work with applicants to find designs that will accommodate their
needs consistent with the historic character of the building.
DEMOLITION
· Unless otherwise provided in individual conservation district guidelines, a certificate of
appropriateness for the demolition of any primary contributing structure will be denied unless
the applicant can demonstrate that the building is structurally unsound and irretrievable. A
certificate of appropriateness for the demolition of a contributing outbuilding will be determined
on a case by case basis.
· Before a certificate of appropriateness for demolition will be approved for a particular site, the
Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission must approve a certificate of appropriateness for
the structure that will replace the one being demolished. This is true for both contributing and
noncontributing structures.

Proposed Design Standards for Multi-Family Buildings Proposed Within Historic and
Conservation Districts
Draft: March 28, 2000
A. Mandatory Compliance Items: Compliance with the following design standards must
be demonstrated prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness.
Setback, Front: The front yard setback shall comply with the setback requirements
established within the appropriate individual district guidelines. If no setback requirement
is established within the district guidelines, the following standard shall apply. The
building setback shall not deviate from the average setback of existing structures on its
street frontage by more than 5 feet, and in no case shall a new building be located closer
to the street than the existing principle building on its frontage with the shallowest
setback. The setbacks of existing buildings shall be measured at the first floor wall of the
main living area or commercial floor area of the building, excluding a covered or enclosed
porch. If front porches are prevalent on existing structures, the new building may contain
a covered front porch that extends into the front yard, provided it is located no closer to
the street than any of the other porches on its block.
Lighting: All exterior lighting, including balcony and porch lighting, shall be carefully
placed, downcast and shielded so that entrances, sidewalks and stairways are well lit, but
the lighting is non-obtrusive to neighboring properties. No exterior light source should be
located on poles more than 15 feet high. When lights mounted on buildings are intended
to provide site lighting rather than corridor or exit lighting, they shall be mounted no higher
than 15 feet. Lights intended to architecturally highlight a building or its features shall use
a limited pattern of light that does not extend beyond the wall of the building.
Parking: Parking lots, including detached garages and carports, shall not be located
between the principle building and the street. Parking shall be located behind a building,
below grade, or under a building. On corner lots parking may be located alongside the
building, but not within a required front or side yard and no closer than 20 feet to the
sidewalk. Landscaped screening consisting of densely planted evergreen shrubs, a hedge,
a combination of evergreen and deciduous shrubs, or a decorative masonry wall in
combination with landscaping shall be used to screen the parking from the street and
adjacent properties.
Parking Below Buildings: Where parking is located below a building, any exposed portions
of the exterior walls of the parking area visible from a street and extending more than
three feet above the ground shall appear to be a component of the facade of the building.
The use of similar building materials, window openings, and providing facade detailing
similar to the upper levels are examples of how this can be achieved. In no case shall a
building have the appearance from the street of being elevated above a parking level, or
"on stilts."
Garages: When parking is provided within the primary structure, garage doors should not
be located on any side of a building facing a street. When located on a side wall or on a
rear wall on a corner lot, landscaping, masonry walls, or elements of the building should
be used to help screen the garage doors from view from the street.
ppdadm/hpc~andbk.doc 2 1
Building Orientation: Orientation of the "front" of the building shall be to the street in a
manner similar to existing buildings in the neighborhood, including an entrance with some
architectural emphasis provided on the front of the building. Architectural treatments which
emphasize the entrance include, but are not limited to, front porches, transom and sidelight
windows, decorative trim and moldings, and/or arches.
Pedestrian Access: A sidewalk shall be provided that connects the entrance door or porch
to the public sidewalk.
Balconies/Decks: Balconies and decks should be designed so that they are integrated into
the overall design of the building. Methods of integrating balconies into the building design
may include, but are not limited to, fully or partially recessing them into the fa.cade of the
building, placing them under a roof that is integrated into the overall roof plan, utilizing
supports that are compatible with the rest of the building in terms of materials and design,
and utilizing supports that reach to the ground rather than append on the exterior of the
building. When designed in such a manner, balconies and decks may encroach into the
required front yard, provided they are located no closer to the street than any porches on
the street frontage. Balconies and decks shall be placed adjacent to the front or rear yard
rather than the side yard.
Mechanical Equipment/Utility Meters: Outdoor dumpsters, mechanical equipment and
meters shall be placed at the rear of the property whenever possible. If this cannot be
achieved, they may be located along the side of the building provided that extensive
landscaping, a decorative masonry wall, a combination of the two, or another approved
material is used to screen these items. In no case shall these items be located along the
street side of a building.
Building Height/Mass: Measures should be incorporated into the design of a new building
that help to reduce its "visual mass" and overall height. Examples include 1) holding the
height of the eave line down by making the upper floor of a building a "half" story and
utilizing dormers to accommodate the use of floor area; 2) stepping the height of a taller
building down to two stories at ends adjacent to existing buildings that are two-stories or
lower in height; and 3) providing significant variations in the roofline and front building
plane which help to reduce the scale of the building along the streetscape.
Roofline: Rooflines should reflect the predominant roof type, orientation, scale and pitch
of existing buildings within the neighborhood.
Building Modulation: The street elevation setback should be varied such that no
continuous wall plane or surface exceeds 35 feet in length, and such that variations
between wall planes or surfaces are at least 18 inches in depth. Variations in wall planes
should be accompanied by corresponding changes in the roofline and other architectural
elements of the building.
Windows/Fenestration: The placement of windows and doors on street elevations should be
consistent with the window and door patterns found on other properties in the surrounding
neighborhood, and of a similar size, scale and proportion to the windows of other buildings
in the neighborhood. The use of trim and moldings shall be similar in width and character to
surrounding buildings.
ppdadrn/hpc-handbk,doc 22
Building Styles: Design elements from existing architectural styles found on contributing
structures within the district, such as building form, rooflines, window patterns, building
materials, entranceways, and architectural detailing, shall be incorporated into the design
of new buildings to help them fit within the context of the district.
B. Design Point Items: A total of 20 points from the following design options mus~ be
obtained prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness.
Vehicular Access: The use of alley access to the parking area, thus minimizing paving
within front yards. This may necessitate the improvement of the public alley in order to
provide a suitable access to the site. (3 points)
Paving Materials: The use of textured paving, such as stamped and colored concrete,
exposed aggregate, brick, or cobblestone patterns, to improve the appearance of paved
areas and to designate pedestrian walkways. (0-3 points)
Setback, Side: The provision of a side yard of 10 feet or more from both side lot lines, or
an interior side lot line on a corner lot. (5 points)
Porches: The incorporation of a covered front porch (or porches, where appropriate) of an
appropriate size and scale in areas where porches are prevalent on existing structures
within the surrounding neighborhood. A front porch helps provide a transition between
the public street and the private residential use of the. interior of the building, and can help
a building fit within an existing neighborhood by adding detail and interest to the facade of
the building. Front porches must be covered by a roof that is compatible with the roof
over the rest of the structure. The evaluation of a proposed porch shall take into
consideration its compatibility with the design of the proposed structure, its "usability",
and its compatibility with other porches in the surrounding neighborhood. (0-10 points)
Building Height: The provision of a building height along the street elevation of 27 feet or
less. (5 points)
Architectural Details: The provision of architectural details to add interest to building
elevations visible from the public street, including but not limited to the following:
Quoins, dentils, cornice moldings, brackets, arches, corner boards, keystones, decorative
lintels and sills, double-hung windows, soldier courses, belt courses, bay windows,
decorative site lighting and other decorative features as appropriate for the design of the
overall building and materials being used. In awarding points under this guideline, the use
of these elements shall be reviewed in the context of the overall building design and the
character of the historic district, and not simply based on the provision of these
architectural details. (0-10 points)
Building Base/Exposed Foundation: Incorporating a raised foundation or a "base" into the
design of a new building. The utilization of a material that differs from the primary
exterior building material at the base of the building, such as stone, brick of a different
color or size than that used for the overall building, or other durable masonry material, can
be used to give the appearance of a raised foundation. (0-2 points)
Building Materials: The use of quality exterior building materials historically used within
Iowa City's older neighborhoods is preferred.
1) Building materials will be evaluated as follows.
ALL MASONRY: The use of brick, stone, or other masonry product(s) as the exterior
finish material for the entire building, with the exception of trim and decorative
elements that may consist of alternative but compatible materials. The term masonry
shall not include concrete block or poured concrete materials, except when rusticated
concrete block or decorative concrete is used as a base or exposed foundation
material. (7-10 points)
PREDOMINANTLY MASONRY WITH STUCCO OR WOOD: The use of brick, stone, or
other masonry product(s) as the primary exterior building material in combination with
the less substantial use of stucco, wood, or fiber cement siding. (5-10 points)
PREDOMINANTLY STUCCO OR WOOD WITH MASONRY: The use of brick, stone, or
other masonry product(s) as a secondary exterior building material in combination
with primary materials consisting of stucco, wood, or fiber cement materials as
discussed below. (3-8 points)
ALL STUCCO OR WOOD: The use of stucco or other similar material(s) that conveys a
stucco appearance, or wood or fiber-cement products that are wood-like in
appearance, as the exterior finish material for the entire building. Acceptable wood
or fiber-cement products include shakes, shingles, or painted horizontal clapboard
siding composed of three (3) to eight (8) inch wide boards. (3-7 points)
PREDOMINANTLY MASONRY WITH VINYL OR METAL: Vinyl or metal siding is not
permitted on new buildings within historic districts. Within conservation districts, the
use of brick, stone, or other masonry product(s) as the primary exterior building
material in combination with the less substantial use of vinyl or metal lap siding. (3-5
points)
PREDOMINANTLY VINYL OR METAL WITH MASONRY: Vinyl or metal siding is not
permitted on new buildings within historic districts. Within conservation districts, the
use of brick, stone, or other masonry product(s) as a secondary exterior building
material in combination with primary materials consisting of vinyl or metal lap siding
in a clapboard pattern. (0-2 points)
2) Materials or material combinations not listed above may be approved, provided that it is
determined that the material will add interest to the facade of the building and that it is
compatible with or similar in appearance to materials found on other buildings within the
neighborhood. (0-5)

complete satisfaction.
5. This agreement shall be recorded in the Johnson County Recorders Office, at University
expense.
6. University shall assume responsibility for and indemnify and hold City harmless from all
claims, damages, and/or liability, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising from
