BETWEEN JOHNSON COUNTY AND IOWA CITY
WHEREAS, Chapter 354, Code of Iowa (1999) allows the City of Iowa City to establish an
extraterritorial area, known as the fringe area, within two miles of the city boundaries for the
purpose of reviewing and approving subdivisions; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 354 further grants the City the authority to require that subdivisions within
the fringe area adhere to the City's subdivision standards and conditions, unless the City
establishes alternative standards and conditions for review and approval of subdivisions via a 28E
agreement between the City and the County; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 28E of the Code of Iowa (1999) enables two or more local governments to

WHEREAS, the Johnson County Land Use Plan adopted December 31, 1998 calls for the

extent of urban development expected within the next 20 years; and
WHEREAS, it is in the interest of Johnson County (the "County") and the City of Iowa City (the
"City") to establish policies for the orderly growth and development within the City's fringe area;
and
WHEREAS, Johnson County and the City of Iowa City mutually agree that such policies are
necessary to more effectively and economically provide services for future growth and
development and to protect and preserve the fringe area's natural resources and its
environmentally sensitive features.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I. FRINGE AREA DEVELOPMENT POLICIES
The parties accept and agree to the following development policies regarding annexation, zoning,
and subdivision review for the Iowa City fringe area as authorized by Chapter 354, Code of Iowa
(1999).
Purpose:
The Fringe Area Policy Agreement is intended to provide for orderly and efficient development
patterns appropriate to a non-urbanized area, protect and preserve the fringe area's natural
resources and environmentally sensitive features, direct development to areas with physical
characteristics which can accommodate development, and effectively and economically provide
services for future growth and development.
In light of these objectives, the City and the County examined the development capabilities of the
Iowa City fringe area and determined that development within this fringe area is to occur in
accordance with a) the Land Use Plan attached to this Agreement, b) development standards
contained in Section B of this agreement, and c) the fringe area development policies contained in
Section C of this Agreement. The development policies of this Agreement are intended to be
consistent with the policies of the adopted Johnson County Land Use Plan and the Iowa City
Comprehensive Plan.
-2-
A. Land Use Plan
The Land Use Plan, attached to this Agreement as Attachment 1, illustrates the land use patterns
for the fringe area.
B. Development Standards
The following general standards apply to unincorporated development in the fringe area.
1. Discourage development in areas which conflict with the Johnson County Land Use
Plan which considers CSR (Com Suitability Rating), high water table, wetlands,
floodplain, non-erodible soil, and road suitability.
2. Protect the public health by requiring developers to meet or exceed minimum
standards for water and wastewater systems in all developments within the Iowa City
Fringe Area pursuant to Johnson County Public Health Department Regulations.
3. Encourage cluster development which preserves large tracts of open space including
environmentally sensitive areas and farm land, results in compact development which
requires less infrastructure, and is more efficient for provision of services.
C. Fringe Area Development Policies
The parties agree to apply the following fringe area development policies.
FRINGE AREA A
1. Land within Iowa CitV's Growth Area. Land in Area A which is presently zoned for
residential development, and within Iowa City's growth area, may develop in
conformance with existing zoning, provided subdivisions and development projects
shall conform to City Urban Design standards contained in Title 14, Chapter 7 of the
City Code of Iowa City, including but not limited to City specifications for streets and
roads, sanitary sewer lines, stormwater management facilities and water lines.
Developments which are approved prior to annexation shall be required to be served
by a package sanitary sewage treatment plant and common wells, with sanitary sewer
and water collection and distribution systems which are constructed to City standards
and can be connected to municipal systems upon annexation.
Subdivisions and development projects which are approved prior to annexation shaft
be required to be cluster developments with a minimum of 50% of the development
designated as an outlot for open space, agriculture, or future development upon
annexation.
Prior to annexation, any zoning changes in Iowa City's projected growth area shaft be
consistent with the City's adopted land use plan.
2. Land outside Iowa Citv's Growth Area. Any rezonings in this area will be considered
on the basis of conformity with the Johnson County Land Use Plan and other related
policies. On a case-by-case basis, proposals to rezone land in this area to RS-3 (one
dwelling unit per three acres of lot area) may be considered. RS zoning will be
considered if the application to rezone includes a concept plan showing a minimum of
-3-
50% of the property designated as an outlot for open space or agriculture.
Development must comply with City Rural Design standards contained in Appendix A.
3. Any development on property governed by the Iowa City/Coralville Agreement
Providing for Future Annexations and Extraterritorial Review of Subdivision Plats
(Sept, 1999) shall be consistent with said agreement. Such agreement shall take
precedence over this Fringe Area Policy Agreement.
4. If land is annexed within Fringe Area A, the City agrees that it will not automatically
extend its fringe area authority to review and approve all subdivisions, which it
exercises pursuant to Iowa Code §354.9 and Title 14, Chapter 7 of the City Code of
the City of Iowa City, Iowa. The City will review the extension of its fringe area as a
result of annexation on a case-by-case basis in consultation with Johnson County.
FRINGE AREA B
As set forth in Iowa City's adopted growth policy, the City will likely annex land within one
mile of Iowa City to the east and within two miles of Iowa City to the south in the short-
range. It is therefore consistent with the purpose of this agreement that rural subdivisions
within these areas of high annexation potential be required to meet City Urban Design
Standards contained in Appendix A.
1. Land within Iowa City's Growth Area. As applications are received to develop land
contiguous to and within the growth limits of the city, the City will give favorable
consideration to the voluntary annexation of this land and its development at an urban
density in conformance with the City's adopted land use plan.
Prior to annexation, any zoning changes in Iowa City's projected growth area shall
also be consistent with the City's adopted land use plan.
Subdivisions and development projects within Iowa City's projected growth area shall
conform to City Urban Design Standards contained in Title 14, Chapter 7 of the City
Code of Iowa City, including but not limited to City specifications for streets and roads,
sanitary sewer lines, stormwater management facilities and water lines.
Developments which are approved prior to annexation shall be required to be served
by a package sanitary sewage treatment plant and common wells with sanitary sewer
and water collection and distribution systems which are constructed to City standards
and can be connected to municipal systems upon annexation.
Subdivisions and development projects which are approved prior to annexation shall
be required to be cluster developments with a minimum of 50% of the development
designated as an outlot for open space, agriculture, or future development upon
annexation.
2. Land outside Iowa Citv's Growth Area. On the balance of land in Area B that lies
outside Iowa City's projected growth area, agricultural uses are preferred. Any
rezonings in this area will be considered on the basis of conformity with the Johnson
County Land Use Plan and other related policies. However, consideration will be given
to applications for single-family residential development at a density of RS-10 (1
dwelling unit/10 acres). This development must conform to Rural Design Standards.
-,4-
Cluster subdivisions which designate a minimum of 80% of the property as an outlot
for agricultural uses and/or open space will be encouraged when any development is
considered.
Given the existence of commercially zoned property and the demand for commercial
uses at the 1-80/Herbert Hoover Hi.qhway interchan.qe, rezoninqs to Countv CP-2 of
propertv abutting the interchan.qe, as shown on the Land Use Plan attached, will be
considered. All existin.q commercially zoned property and any properties rezoned to
CP-2 shall be subject to the Countv's Site Plan Review Requirements with the
followin.q exception: all parkin.q areas shall be constructed of asphalt or portland
cement concrete (PCC).
3. Upon annexation of land within Fringe Area B, the City agrees that it will not
automatically extend its fringe area authority to review and approve all subdivisions,
which it exercises pursuant to Iowa Code §354.9 and Title 14, Chapter 7 of the City
Code of the City of Iowa City, Iowa. The City will review the extension of its fringe
area as a result of annexation on a case-by-case basis in consultation with Johnson
County.
FRINGE AREA C
1. Land within Iowa City's Growth Area. Land in Area C, which is presently zoned for
residential development and within Iowa City's growth area, may develop in
conformance with existing zoning, provided subdivisions and development projects
shall conform to City Urban Design standards contained in Title 14, Chapter 7 of the
City Code of Iowa City, including but not limited to City specifications for streets and
roads, sanitary sewer lines, stormwater management facilities and water lines.
Developments which are approved prior to annexation shall be required to be served
by a package sanitary sewage treatment plant and common wells with sanitary sewer
and water collection and distribution systems which are constructed to City standards
and can be connected to municipal systems upon annexation.
Subdivisions and development projects which are approved prior to annexation shall
be required to be cluster developments with a minimum of 50% of the development
designated as an outlot for open space, agriculture, or future development upon
annexation.
Upon annexation to Iowa City, commercial and/or industrial development is
encouraged south and southwest of the Iowa City Municipal Airport as shown on the
attached Land Use Plan and in the portion of Section 20 of West Lucas Township that
is located in the east and south quadrants of the Highway 1 and Highway 218
interchange. It is consistent with the purpose of this agreement not to approve
commercial and/or industrial developments within this area prior to annexation. As
stated in the Johnson County Land Use Plan, commercial and/or industrial
development will be encouraged to locate in the interchanges of paved roads.
Commercial and/or industrial development will be discouraged in all other areas of
Fringe Area C.
As applications are received to develop land contiguous to Iowa City and within this
portion of the City's growth area, the City will give favorable consideration to the
voluntary annexation of this land and its development for uses consistent with the
City's Comprehensive Plan.
-5-
2. Land outside Iowa CitV's Growth Area. In the portions of Area C which are not within
Iowa City's growth area and which are zoned for non-farm development, development
may occur in conformance with Johnson County's Zoning Ordinance and City Rural
Design Standards.
Any rezonings in this area will be considered on the basis of conformity with the
Johnson County Land Use Plan and other related policies. The land in Area C
currently zoned A-l, Rural, and outside the City's growth area will be considered, upon
receipt of an application, for rezoning to RS-10 (1 dwelling unit/10 acres). RS-5 (1
dwelling unit/5 acres) will be considered if the application to rezone includes a concept
plan designating a minimum of 80% of the property as an outlot for open space or
agriculture.
Rural Design Standards will apply to all development outside the City's growth area.
3. Upon annexation of land within Fringe Area C, the City agrees that it will not
automatically extend its fringe area authority to review and approve all subdivisions,
which it exercises pursuant to Iowa Code §354.9 and Title 14, Chapter 7 of the City
Code of the City of Iowa City, Iowa. The City will review the extension of its fringe
area as a result of annexation on a case-by-case basis in consultation with Johnson
County.
SECTION II. PROTECTING AGRICULTURAL OPERATIONS
Any regulations in the Fringe Area Agreement will not interfere with the Right to Farm, as
contained in the Code of Iowa Chapter 335.2, Farms Exempt; and as noted in the Johnson
County Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 8.2, Protecting Agricultural Operations.
SECTION III. ADMINISTRATIVE POLICIES
As a rule, zoning regulation is the county's prerogative if a county has adopted a zoning
ordinance. The City, however, exercises authority over subdivision regulation in a city's fringe
area. Annexation is also primarily under exclusive rule of cities. Each of these activities, however,
affects both jurisdictions and produces a clear need for coordination and joint administration. To
that end, the City of Iowa City and Johnson County agree to the following procedures for
administration of land use regulations.
A. Zonin~ Re.qulation:
1. Zoning regulation for all unincorporated territory will remain under the authority of the
Johnson County Zoning Ordinance and the provisions of Chapter 335, Code of Iowa
(1999), the enabling legislation for the County's zoning powers.
2. Pursuant to Section 8:1.30 of the Johnson County Zoning Ordinance, any person may
request a variance to the lot area regulations of the zoning ordinance or appeal the
decision of any officer of the County as that decision relates to enforcement of the
Zoning Ordinance.
3. The County will forward each request for rezoning of property within the Fringe Areas
specified in this Agreement to the City for review and comment prior to the public
hearing before the County Planning and Zoning Commission. Any zoning change will
-6-
conform with the policies identified for the Area in which the property is located.
4. Properties zoned for a classification which is inconsistent with this Agreement, at the
time this Agreement is executed, shall retain the rights under that zoning, unless and
until such zoning is changed through due process.
B. Subdivision Re.clulation:
1. Subdivision of land within Iowa City's fringe area will be required to conform to either
City Rural Design Standards or the City Urban Design Standards in accordance with
the policies specified in this Agreement.
2. Persons wishing to subdivide land within the fringe area specified in this Agreement
shall be required to simultaneously file a subdivision application with both the City and
the County. The City and the County shall coordinate the processing of the application
to ensure concurrent review by both the City Planning and Zoning Commission and
the County Planning and Zoning Commission.
3. Subdivisions of land into fewer than three lots will continue to be regulated by the
County.
C. Development proiects not requirin.cl subdivision:
Any development projects larger than 2 acres within the City's growth area shall be subject
to review by both the City and the County in accordance with the procedural requirements of
each jurisdiction.
D. Annexation:
1. Iowa City will annex territory only in accordance with the policy statements specified in
this Agreement.
2. The City will, upon receipt, forward applications requesting annexation or severance
(deannexation) of property within the fringe area specified in this Agreement to the
County for review and comment prior to consideration by the Iowa City Planning and
Zoning Commission.
3. As appropriate and necessary, the City may extend the two-mile extraterritorial
subdivision plat review area. Prior to any such extension, the City will forward to the
County a proposal which includes the extension of the City's plat review authority for
any distance up to the two mile limit provided by State law. The County will have a
specified time within which to respond in affirmative agreement, negatively or with an
alternative proposal. The City will take the County's response under advisement when
determining the extension of extraterritorial review.
E. Conflict Resolution:
If the City and County are in conflict over a proposed subdivision, rezoning application, or
annexation that may violate this agreement, a review committee, comprised of members of
the City Council, Board of Supervisors and staff, shall be established to negotiate a
resolution prior to final action being taken by either body to subdivide, rezone, or annex
property.
-7-
SECTION IV. AGREEMENT REVIEW
At any time dudng the term of this Agreement, either the Chair of the Johnson County Board of
Supervisors or the Mayor of the City of Iowa City may initiate review of the policies of this
Agreement by contacting the other party to this Agreement. Both parties to this Agreement shall
consider modifications of this Agreement, as appropriate.
SECTION V. EFFECTIVE PERIOD
This Agreement shall become effective upon acceptance and execution by the parties, and shall
be in effect for five (5) years after the date of execution of this Agreement. This Agreement shall
be automatically renewed unless the County or the City objects to such renewal pdor to the
renewal date.
SECTION VI, RECORDATION
This Agreement shall be filed with the Secretary of the State of Iowa, and with the Johnson
County Recorder in compliance with Chapter 28E, Code of Iowa (1999).

Johnson County Board of Supervisors
913 South Dubuque Street, Suite 201
Iowa City IA 52240~207
Re: Johnson County/Iowa City Fringe Area Agreement
Dear Sally and Members of the Board:
At the City Council's meeting of November 21, 2000, we considered your request to amend the
map which is a pad of the Johnson County/Iowa City Fringe Area Agreement. The amendments
requested around the intersection of Highway 218 and Highway 1 West were changed with no
debate. The issue at Herbe~ Hoover Highway and 1-80 was more controversial. Our Planning
and Zoning Commission recommended this change not be made and the City Council
concurred with that recommendation by a vote of 6-1.
I would like to explain to you our perspective on this issue. Frankly, we were a bit surprised by
the request in your letter of October 6, 2000. Prior to your meeting of Oct. 3, the County/City
subcommittee, the Iowa City Planning and Zoning Commission, the City Council, and the
County Planning and Zoning Commission had all voted in favor of authorizing the execution of
the Fringe Agreement with the eight quadeFqua~er sections at the Hoover Highway/l-80
interchange designated for commercial land use. Both the City bodies had been approached by
the Donovans or their representatives to include their 15 acres, but the decision was to hold the
line with the eight qua~eFqua~er sections. As your request was then presented to us by your
staff, the Donovan prope~y plus an additional 40 acres was proposed for designation as
commercial.
As you know, under prior Fringe Agreements no land in this area was designated for future
commercial development. In spite of that, two rezonings were completed for Mr. Eyman
conve~ing over 25 acres from agricultural to commercial. These were done without suppo~ from
our previous Fringe Agreement and, in fact, gave rise to negotiations for this revised agreement.
During these negotiations, the City agreed to add to the Fringe Agreement a commercial
designation at this interchange which included 178 acres of land for future commercial use, over
and above that which is already developed commercially.
We believe that this acreage should amply enable the County to fulfill the directives of its land
use plan for commercial development in the County. We do not share the opinion of your staff of
the undevelopable nature of the land to the east due to the presence of a diR road; access to
this properly could occur through the Oakes/Hodge properly, providing marketable commercial
sites with visibility from the interstate, similar to the Eyman properly noah of the Donovans.
We believe we have cooperated in t~ing to reach a mutually advantageous agreement which
respects the C,ounty's goals as well as the City's. We hope that you will approve the agreement
with the map p~esented, as approved by the City Council.

MEMORANDUM
Date: July 27, 2000 .., : ....,
.... /
To: Planning & Zoning Commission PI ~(-/'L''''L''~
From: Karin Franklin, Director, Iowa City anni
Re: Revised Fringe Area Policy Agreement
The Johnson County / Iowa City Fringe Area Agreement was first adopted in 1983. It is an
agreement which addresses land use policy, rezonings, annexation and design standards in the
two-mile extraterritorial jurisdiction of Iowa City. These mutually agreed upon policies and
standards are used by the County and the City as zoning, annexation and subdivision decisions
are made by each jurisdiction. Periodically, circumstances arise which trigger a review of some
of the particulars of the agreement and amendments to the agreement are approved by each
entity.
After the Eyman rezoning on Herbert Hoover Highway and the Milder rezoning and subdivision
request, a number of issues were identified for discussion through Johnson County / Iowa City
Fringe Area Agreement revisions. These issues were:
· Industrial and commercial development in unincorporated areas
· Clustering in Area B
· A consultation procedure for circumstances in which the City and the County disagree
· Reference to agricultural uses in cluster developments
· Map revisions to reflect Iowa City's current growth area and the Iowa City / Coralville
subdivision review agreement
· The mechanism for renewal of the agreement
To address these issues, a joint subcommittee of Johnson County and Iowa City
representatives was convened. Ann Bovbjerg served to represent the Commission on this
subcommittee. In addition to the issues noted above, the subcommittee also identified some
other potential amendments. These included references to the Johnson County Land Use Plan
and the review of non-subdivision developments in Iowa City's growth area by Iowa City.
Attached to this memorandum is a revised agreement addressing most of the issues noted
above. A few of the revisions are "housekeeping" in nature; the others are substantive.
Outlined below is the rationale for the substantive changes as articulated by the subcommittee.
1. There appeared to be a need to clarify that the Fringe Agreement was not intended to
supercede or conflict with the adopted comprehensive plans of either the City or the
County. The revisions on the first page recognize the adopted plans of each jurisdiction
and clarify the intent to be consistent with these plans.
2. The amendment in Fringe Area A recognizes the revised growth area of Iowa City north of 1-
80 and provides language parallel to that in Fringe Areas [] and C for land within Iowa City's
growth area. This amendment also recognizes the agreement between Iowa City and
Coralville for development along the Iowa River near W-66.
3. On page 3, language providing for the clustering of subdivisions in the county outside Iowa
City's growth area is inserted. This is precipitated by the Milder case and reflects the
position of the County to encourage cluster development generally, if development is to
occur in the unincorporated parts of the county.
4. On page 4, language is added to allow consideration of rezonings to County CP-2 of land
around the Herbert Hoover Highway/I-80 interchange. The subcommittee chose to
recognize the existing commercial development there and the demand that is likely to occur
in the future. It was also felt that this would be consistent with the County's Land Use Plan.
5. On page 6, a provision is added which requires consultation between the City and the
County when a conflict arises over one of the issues covered by the Agreement. Each body
would select representatives to negotiate resolution of the conflict. Such resolution might
include amendment of the Agreement. This provision is intended to avoid some of the
misunderstanding and ill will that may be a consequence of action by one or the other
parties.
6. The effective date of the Agreement is amended to indicate a five year term with the
automatic renewal of the Agreement unless the City or the County object. This allows for a
system that is working to continue unabated, or for either party to terminate the Agreement
if the system is not working. As before, there is the opportunity for amendment of the
Agreement at any time with mutual consent.
One point noted above that is not included in the agreement is the reference to agricultural uses
in cluster subdivisions. Agricultural uses are not permitted in RS zones by the County Zoning
Ordinance; however, the Agreement refers to the designation of outlots in cluster subdivisions
for open space or agriculture. Instead of changing the Agreement, a change in the County
Zoning Ordinance is suggested. In approving zonings that incorporate cluster subdivisions, the
continuation of agricultural uses is often desirable provided adequate buffers are required during
the zoning process. The ordinance amendment will need to consider the potential conflicts
between residential and agricultural uses the existing language is intended to avoid. The
County representatives on the sub-committee agreed to pursue this option.
Please review the entire agreement enclosed. Some language is italicized or underlined; these
notations do not necessarily include every single word change, particularly the grammatical or
"housekeeping" changes. We will have an opportunity to discuss the agreement at your work
session on July 31st.

SECTION I. FRINGE AREA
The parties accept and agree the following developmerft licies regardi'ng annexation, zoning,
and subdivision review for City fringe area as author by Chapter 354, Code of Iowa
(1999).
Purpose:
The Fringe Area reement is intended to provide for and efficient development

characteristics can accommodate development, and effectively an'~economically provide
services for future growth and development.
In light of these objectives, the City and the County examined the development capabilities of the
Iowa City fringe area and determined that development within this fringe area is to occur in
accordance with a) the Land Use Plan attached to this Agreement, b) development standards
contained in Section B of this agreement, and c) the fdnge area development policies contained in
