Dear Mayor and City Council Members, www.~cgov.org
During the initial review of various commercial zones, the Planning & Zoning
Commission determined the current CB-2 zone was outdated and did not fit with the
other CB zones. For that reason we recommended removal of the CB-2 zone in the
proposed code and rezoning certain portions of current CB-2 zones to CN-1 and MU.
As some have indicated during the public hearing, the CB-2 zone has been in place for
the past 25+ years. When CB-2 was implemented the City was in the midst of a major
Urban Renewal effort. Much has changed during the 25 years relating to downtown
Iowa City development and development in the general metro area. During that time
there has been no development that would maximize the full CB-2 standards in the
areas proposed for a zone change. The reality of the situation is that the vast majority of
lots in these areas are small and contain buildings and uses that are grandfathered in
with little off-street parking. The existing buildings and proximity to the university,
downtown, and dense residential neighborhoods have provided opportunities for a wide
variety of small businesses to thrive. However, redevelopment that would take
advantage of the maximum height and residential density provisions of the CB-2 Zone
has proved impossible or at the very least financially impractical given the small lots
sizes and the parking that would be required for such large buildings.
This is important to understand because numerous landowners in these areas contend
this change is a down-zoning that will take value away from their property. The
Commission does not support this assertion. Property value is not determined by the
zoning designation alone. The zoning designation gives prospective buyers guidelines
on the types of uses allowed and building standards. Since the basic uses permitted are
similar in CB-2, CN-1 and MU Zones, property value is more logically affected by
location. Both areas, north and east of downtown, are highly desirable locations from a
business and retail standpoint. Due to the established commercial/retail environment
directly between downtown and surrounding residential neighborhoods, property in these
areas will naturally attract a higher selling price than CN-1, CC-2, or C1-1 property
located farther from downtown.
The Commission feels very strongly that maintaining a strong viable neighborhood
commercial/retail zone between downtown and surrounding neighborhoods will provide
a development atmosphere for unique small retail, food service and office services that
will increase property values in the long term. With extremely few exceptions, unless a
developer is going to buy up a number of adjacent properties, the maximization of CB-2
benefits is impossible on the overwhelming majority of small lots in these zones. In
addition, because these areas have been so successful for small businesses, there is
little economic incentive to buy up properties and tear them down to maximize use of the
zone. Therefore, it is the Commission's position that there would be extremely little if
any financial impact on the resale potential and value of these properties.
1 of 2
Another significant reason the Commission selected to eliminate the CB-2 zone was the
current permitted building height in that zone. Under the current code buildings up to
100 feet tall are permitted. The CB-5 zone has a limitation of 75 feet. The CB-2 zone is
intended as the final transition from central business commercial zones to surrounding
neighborhoods. The possibility of a 100 foot building adjacent to surrounding
neighborhoods was untenable to the Commission.
In conclusion, the Commission feels the CN-1 and MU zones are reasonable
replacements for portions of the CB-2 zone considering the transitional nature of these
areas, the inability of properties in these areas to maximize their CB-2 options due to lot
size and our strong desire to preserve the neighborhood retail/commercial aspects of
these areas between downtown and surrounding neighborhoods.
The unique character of these two areas is important to not only the vitality of downtown
but of the whole community. They are unique incubator locations for small businesses
mixed in with well established commercial/retail establishments. The uniqueness of
these two areas should not be violated in the future by large scale commercial/retail
developments that would overpower the remaining zone and surrounding residential
neighborhoods.
If the Council finds insufficient support for elimination of the CB-2 zone and rezoning of
these areas to CN-1 or MU, the Commission suggests that you consider one of the
following scenarios:
1. Insert the CB-2 Zone back into the proposed code, but make appropriate
modifications to the site development and dimensional standards to address
concerns about scale and character of potential future development. At the very
least we strongly recommend reducing the maximum building height to 45 feet.
2. Reinstate the current CB-2 zone to the proposed code, leaving those areas
currently zoned CB-2 unchanged but direct the Planning & Zoning Commission
to put a complete review and evaluation of the CB-2 zones on their future work
list. It would be understood that the Commission would return to Council at a
later date with a revised zone that would reflect the unique retail/commercial
nature of these zones north and east of downtown.
We are more than happy to discuss this further if you so wish.
Sincerely,
Robert Brooks
Chair, Planning and Zoning Commission
