ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 14, ARTICLE 4E, SUBSECTION 8C,
NONCONFORMING SIGNS, TO ALLOW MODIFICATION OR REPLACEMENT OF A SIGN
FACE ON CERTAIN NONCONFORMING SIGNS LOCATED WITHIN 1000 FEET OF AN
INTERSTATE HIGHWAY RIGHT-OF-WAY (REZ10-00017).
WHEREAS, the Zoning Code allows tall, large signs in the Highway Commercial Zone
within 1000 feet of an interstate highway so that the signs are visible to travelers along the
interstate highway; and
WHEREAS, there are only two interstate highway interchanges in Iowa City that are
intended for commercial development and the Highway Commercial zoning designation is no
longer used at one of those interchanges, making any existing tall highway sign in this area
nonconforming; and
WHEREAS, the City's Zoning Code allows changes or alterations to existing nonconforming
signs in only very limited circumstances with the intent to eliminate nonconformities over time;
and
WHEREAS, given the significant private investment to install a tall, large sign structure, it is
reasonable to include changes or alterations to such non-conforming signs among the limited
circumstances where such changes are allowable; and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission has reviewed the proposed zoning code
amendment and found it consistent with the broad intent and purpose of the zoning ordinance
and therefore recommends approval.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IOWA
CITY, IOWA:
SECTION I. The Code of Ordinances of the City of Iowa City, Iowa is hereby amended as
follows:

any way it must be brought into compliance with the provisions of Article 14-5B, Sign
Regulations, with the following exceptions:
a. Nonconforming signs that are deemed historic, signs for a historic structure and
signs on structures in a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone may qualify for a
special exception as described in; paragraph 4, below.
b. On signs located within 1000 feet of an interstate highway that are legally non-
conforming with regard to sign area or height limitations, the existing sign face
may be changed or replaced, provided the sign meets all of the following criteria:
(1) The sign is located on property that is zoned commercial;
(2) The sign is not a hazardous sign, as defined in this Title; and
(3) If the sign is located in an area subject to regulation due to its proximity to
the Iowa City Municipal Airport, a determination of "no hazard to air
