Purpose: To allow the retail to present a uniform front setback consistent with the adjacent Carousel VW/Audi lot. Location: 817 Highway 1 West. Existing Land Use and Zoning: Intensive Commercial (CI-1) Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: Residential - OPD/RM-20 South: Commercial and airport -CC-2, P East: Commercial- CI-1 West: Commercial -CC-2 Comprehensive Plan: General Commercial. File Date: January 25, 2006 March 13, 2006 45 Day Limitation Period: BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The applicant, Carousel Nissan Motors, has submitted an application for a change to the Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA) affecting their property. As part of the 2001 rezoning from 1-1 to CI-1, which allowed the construction of the current Nissan building, the CZA includes a requirement for a 30-foot landscaped setback from the right-of-way and prohibits paving, parking or displaying merchandize on the setback (see Item e in the attached CZA). The attached aerial photograph depicts the 30 foot setback area. The setback is required to be landscaped with groundcover (i.e. lawn grass). An additional landscaping requirement in the CZA (Item d) calls for all parking rows, including those for vehicle sales, to terminate "in a 2 landscaped bed 9 feet depth". This Conditional Zoning Agreement is similar to those placed on other properties (i.e. Menards and Toyota) along the Highway 1 corridor. The intent of the setback and landscaping requirements is to provide for attractive development at the southwest entrance to the city in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan and to prevent parking or display of merchandize beyond the paved display area. During the rezoning hearing at which the CZA was adopted for Carousel Nissan, there was considerable discussion about the issue of parking on the grass landscape at the adjacent Carousel VW/Audi lot. The discussion centered on the history parking violations as well as how to enforce the parking restrictions. It was noted that Carousel had recently stopped parking cars outside of the paved display lot. At the time of the rezoning, the City of Iowa City maintained a right-of-way/frontage road (west of Ruppert Road) running across the entire front of the Carousel VW/Audi lot and a portion (about 1/3) of the Nissan lot. Shortly thereafter, the City vacated this right-of-way to Carousel. The vacation agreement required Carousel to incorporate its two parcels (the AudilVW parcel and the Nissan parcel) into one and to landscape and maintain the Highway 1 frontage in compliance with a landscape plan approved by the City. A substantially landscaped buffer would serve in lieu of a 30-foot setback. The landscaped buffer would also substitute for financial compensation to the City for vacating the right-of-way. Carousel subsequently combined the two parcels and landscaped the entire frontage for both the Nissan and AudilVW dealerships. Although the landscaped buffer has been provided across the entire front of the Nissan lot (beyond the end of the frontage road), this portion of the Carousel property is still subject to the CZA and thus is required to have the 30 foot setback. As recently as fall 2005, Carousel continued to display cars outside the paved lot along the right-of-way on Ruppert Road and in front of the landscaped beds at the VW/Audi lot. In addition, the dealership began displaying cars within the setback in front of the Nissan portion of the lot. In late fall 2005, it was noted that islands within the paved lot near the former frontage road, which were part of the approved landscaping plan, were not landscaped as specified in the agreement (they contain only lawn grass) and instead were being used for parking additional cars. Since that time, Carousel has come into compliance with the CZA and no longer displays cars in the right-of-way or on anywhere outside of the paved parking area. The applicant is now requesting to eliminate the requirement for a 30-foot setback from Highway 1 (Item 4.e) for the Nissan portion of the property. Removing the additional setback would allow the Carousel Nissan to present a front display area consistent with the adjacent Carousel VW/Audi lot. If the CZA is amended the current zoning code requires that a 10-foot wide landscaped area be maintained between the right-of-way and the vehicle display area. ANALYSIS: Since substantial landscaping in front of the vacated right-of-way was intended to serve the same purpose as the 30-foot set-back requirement in meeting the aesthetic standards for the Highway 1 corridor, and because the applicant has extended that buffer across the entire lot, staff views this as a reasonable request. The problem of illegal parking and displaying of vehicles outside the paved lot, which was noted at the time of the CZA and continued intermittently until fall 2005, has now ceased, and the dealership has complied with restrictions on parking outside of the paved areas of the lot. To bring the property in complete compliance, the trees and landscaped islands that were required by the vacation agreement should be ppdadmin\stfrep\rez06-OO002. doc autohaus. doc 3 installed prior to the additional paving being installed within the 30 foot setback area. It should be noted that all other requirements of the CZA remain in effect and that the current zoning code requires a 10 foot landscape bed adjacent to the Highway 1 right-of-way. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the change to the CZA removing the additional 30-foot setback (Item 4. e) subject to maintenance of the landscaped bed at the front of the lot and complete compliance with the landscape plan approved as a requirement of the right-of-way vacation prior to installation of any additional parking or display areas within the 30 foot setback.

Renumbering Section 14-51-12 to Section 14-51-15, and replacing the contents thereof with the following: CONSTRUCTION SITE EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL A. Purpose and Intent 1. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program administered by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) requires that agencies meeting certain demographic and environmental impact criteria obtain from the IDNR an NPDES permit for the discharge of storm water from a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4). The City of Iowa City has been issued such a permit. The City's MS4 Permit is on file at the office of the City Clerk and is available for public inspection during regular office hours. 2. The NPDES program requires certain individuals engaged in earth disturbing activities related to construction on one (1) acre of land or more to submit an application to the IDNR for a NPDES General Permit #2. The NPDES program and the City's MS4 require the City to adopt an ordinance requiring proper soil erosion and sediment control on all sites less than one (1) acre if the earth disturbing activities are part of a larger common plan of development that would disturb one (1) acre or more. Notwithstanding any provision of this ordinance, every applicant bears final and complete responsibility for compliance with a State NPDES General Permit #2, a City Construction Site Erosion and Sediment Control (COSESCO) permit, and any other requirement of state or federal law or administrative rule. 3. As a condition of the City's MS4 Permit, the City is obliged to undertake primary responsibility for administration and enforcement of the NPDES program by adopting a Construction Site Runoff Control Ordinance designed to achieve the following objectives: (a) Any person, firm, sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, state agency or political subdivision (applicant) required by law or administrative rule to apply to the IDNR for a NPDES General Permit #2 shall also be required to obtain from the City a COSESCO permit in addition to and not in lieu of the NPDES General Permit #2; and 2 (b) The City shall have primary responsibility for inspection, monitoring and enforcement procedures to promote applicants' compliance with State NPDES General Permits #2 and COSESCO permits. 4. No state or federal funds have been made available to assist the City in administering and enforcing the NPDES program. The City shall fund its application, inspection, monitoring and enforcement responsibilities entirely by fees imposed on the owners of properties which are made subject to the Program by virtue of state and federal law, and/or other sources of funding established by a separate ordinance. B. Aoolicabilitv 1. All persons required by law or administrative rule to obtain a NPDES General Permit #2 from the IDNR, and persons who will be conducting any earth disturbing activity on a site less than one (1) acre in size if the earth disturbing activities are part of a larger common plan of development that would disturb one (1) acre or more, are required to obtain a COSESCO Permit. Earth disturbing activity means any activity that results in a movement of earth or a change in the existing soil cover (both vegetative and nonvegetative) or the existing topography. Earth disturbing activity includes, but is not limited to, clearing, grading, filling, excavation or addition or replacement of impervious surface. 2. Applications for COSESCO Permits shall be made on forms approved by the City which may be obtained from the City. 3. An applicant fo[ a COSESCO Permit shall pay fees as follows: (a) Prior to the issuance of a COSESCO Permit in connection with a building permit on a platted lot, the applicant shall submit an application permit fee to the Housing and Inspection Services Department in an amount established by Resolution of the City Council. If more than three (3) inspections are required by the terms of this ordinance with respect to said permit, the applicant shall bear the cost of such inspections, which shall be the actual cost of the inspections by the City. (b) There shall be no permit fee required prior to the issuance of COSESCO permits other than those issued in connection with building permits on platted lots, but the applicant shall bear the cost of reviews and inspections required by the terms of this ordinance with respect to said permits, which shall be the actual cost of the reviews and inspections by the City. 4. An applicant in possession of a NPDES General Permit #2 issued by the IDNR shall immediately submit to the City full copies of the materials described below as a basis for the City to determine whether to issue a COSESCO Permit: (a) applicant's NPDES General Permit #2 Notice of Intent (NOI); and (b) applicant's plans, specifications and materials in support of applicant's application for the NPDES General Permit #2; and (c) a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) prepared in accordance with this ordinance. 5. Every SWPPP submitted to the City in support of an application for a COSESCO Permit shall: (a) comply with all current minimum mandatory requirements for SWPPPs promulgated by the IDNR in connection with issuance of a NPDES General Permit #2; and (b) comply with all mandatory minimum requirements pertaining to the Joint Application Form, "Protecting Iowa Waters", filed with the IDNR and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; and (c) comply with all other applicable local, state or federal permit requirements in existence at the time of application; and (d) include within the SWPPP a signed and dated certification by the person preparing the SWPPP that the SWPPP complies with all requirements of this ordinance. 6. Every SWPPP submitted to the City in support of an application for a COSESCO Permit shall contain the provisions of the General Permit #2, plus the following additional provisions: (a) all SWPPPs shall comply with Iowa Statewide Urban Design and Specifications (SUDAS) standard design criteria as amended; and (b) assure that stockpiles of soil or other materials subject to erosion by wind or water are covered, vegetated, or otherwise effectively protected from erosion and sedimentation in accordance with the amount of time the material will be on site and the manner of its proposed use; no stockpiling is allowed in the street; and (c) provide that all temporary erosion and sediment controls shall not be removed until the City has determined that the site has been permanently stabilized; and (d) limit potential for damage to sensitive environmental areas such as water bodies, plant communities, rare, threatened and/or endangered species habitat, wildlife corridors, greenways, etc.; and (e) provide for design and construction methods to stabilize steep or long continuous slopes; and, (f) include measures to control sediment, and the quantity and quality of stormwater, leaving a site during and after construction; and (g) provide for stabilization of all waterways and outlets; and, (h) protect storm sewer inlets and infrastructure from sediment loading/plugging; and --_._._._.~._-_._-----_._-~-_.__.,-_.~---'------- 3 (i) specify precautions to be taken to contain sediment when working in or crossing water bodies; and (j) account for stabilization of disturbed areas, including utility construction areas, as soon as possible; and (k) protect adjacent and outlying roads from sediment and mud from construction site activities, including tracking; and (I) provide for disposal of collected sediment and floating debris. 7. Issuance by the City of a COSESCO Permit shall be a condition precedent for the issuance of a City building permit or site plan approval. 8. For so long as a construction site is subject to a NPDES General Permit #2 or a COSESCO Permit, the applicant shall provide the City with current information as follows: (a) The name, address and telephone number of the person on site designated by the owner who is knowledgeable and experienced in erosion and sediment control and who will oversee compliance with the NPDES General Permit #2 and the COSESCO Permit; (b) The name(s), address(es) and telephone number(s) of the contractor(s) and/or subcontractors(s) that will implement each erosion and sediment control measure identified in the SWPPP.

The applicant shall immediately commence corrective action and shall complete such corrective action within a timeframe deemed reasonable by the City. Failure to take corrective action in a timely manner shall constitute a violation of this ordinance. 3. Unless otherwise approved by the City, construction shall not occur on the site at any time when the City has identified conditions of non-compliance. 4. Unless approved by the City, construction activities undertaken by an applicant prior to resolution of all discrepancies specified in the written report shall constitute a violation of this ordinance. 5. The City shall not be responsible for the direct or indirect consequences to the applicant or to third- parties for non-compliant conditions undetected by inspection. D. MonitorinQ 1. Upon issuance of a COSESCO Permit, the applicant has an absolute duty to monitor site conditions and to report to the enforcement officer any change of circumstances or site conditions which the applicant knows or should know pose a risk of stormwater discharge in a manner inconsistent with applicant's SWPPP, NPDES General Permit #2 and/or COSESCO Permit. 2.

Date published 3/79/06 TO: FROM: DATE: RE: City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM ~ Steve Atkins, City Manager Chris O'Brien, Parking Manager March 15, 2006 Council Request At the February 28, 2006 City Council Meeting, Joe and I were directed by City Council to assess the impact on the Parking Division by charging our customers every fifteen minutes rather than the current rate structure. This would involve a prorated rate that would increase at :15, :30, :45 and :00 of every hour. Currently we charge for the full hour after our five minute grace period has passed. The process to obtain this information involved looking through one weeks worth of transactions and separating the tickets by value. The next step involved dividing those tickets into fifteen minute intervals for each charged amount We then counted the tickets and determined the decrease in revenue for each interval of fifteen minutes. This amount was then noted and projected out over a twelve month period. This process was repeated for each charge amount, $1.20, $1.80, $2.40, etc. We then repeated the process for each garage. This process took 76 man hours to complete. After gathering the necessary data to show the impact we found that 81 % of our transactions would see a loss in revenue if we were to change the rate structure. This resulted in a difference of nearly $222,000.00 from our cash transactions alone. Taking into account all of our validations which include Park & Shop, Senior Center, University of Iowa, Library and Sheraton Hotel, this would result in an additional decrease in expected revenues of $58,000.00. In addition, we estimated a decrease in revenue on our debit card usage by $25,000.00. This results in a total decrease in revenue in the amount of $305,000.00. Our projected budget amount for hourly parking in Capitol Street, Dubuque Street and Tower Place is $1,881,000. The decrease in revenue of $305,000.00 represents over 16% of our budgeted revenues for hourly parking. Please contact me if you have any questions or need additional information.
