ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE VACATING AND CONVEYING AIR RIGHTS WITHIN THE PUBLIC
RIGHT -OF -WAY LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY AT 114 SOUTH DUBUQUE
STREET, IOWA CITY, IOWA.
WHEREAS, the applicant, Mark Moen, is proposing to redevelop the property at 114 South
Dubuque Street by demolishing the one -story bank building and replacing it with a 14 -story mixed -
use building; and
WHEREAS, the applicant has requested that the City vacate and convey to the applicant air
rights starting at approximately 16 feet, eight inches above grade for a 4' x 44' section of the
Dubuque Street public right -of -way in City Plaza that extends along the west property line of the
subject property and a 4' x 56' foot section of public right -of -way in Blackhawk Park that extends
along the north property line of the subject property to allow the top 13 floors of the proposed 14-
story building to cantilever four feet over the public right -of -way; and
WHEREAS, ensuring quality retail storefront space is one of the goals of the Central Business
District; and
WHEREAS, an economic development goal for the City is to provide new employment
opportunities in the Downtown area and lack of available Class A office space has been identified
as an impediment to achieving this goal; and
WHEREAS, it is an economic development goal for the City to provide opportunities for high
quality residential apartments and condominiums in the downtown area to attract permanent
residents that will support a variety of businesses in the central business district and allow
residents to live close to employment, shopping and other services in an urban environment;
WHEREAS, the vacation will allow enough additional living space in the residential units to
allow for balconies to be recessed with the building wall, which will create a more aesthetically
pleasing building design and more usable outdoor space for tenants without sacrificing quality
interior living space needed to attract permanent residents to Downtown; and
WHEREAS, the vacation of air rights will provide for a superior overall design of the building;
and
WHEREAS, the vacation of air rights will provide the opportunity for a more pedestrian - friendly
main floor retail space on a very constrained building site; and
WHEREAS, the vacation of air rights will maximize the amount of Class A office space on
levels 2, 3 and 4; and
WHEREAS, the vacation of air rights will allow for recessed balconies on the residential levels
and make the residential floor plans far more functional and marketable for long -term residents;
and
WHEREAS, given the short length of the building wall along the main pedestrian route within
City Plaza (only 40 feet), the relatively minor depth of the cantilever (only four feet), and the
approximate height (approximately 17 feet) at which the cantilever is proposed will be sufficient to
prevent a dark, tunnel -like environment at the pedestrian level, which might otherwise result if
allowed for a building with a larger footprint; and
WHEREAS, given the small size of the building footprint combined with the fact that the
subject property does not directly abut other buildings along Dubuque Street, the impacts on light,
air and views along City Plaza and Blackhawk Park will be minor, and will not unduly block views
of adjacent businesses or any important vistas within the community; and
WHEREAS, on May 17, 2012, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended City
Council approve vacating air rights within the public right -of -way along the north and west lot lines
of the property at 114 South Dubuque Street as described below;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IOWA
