BACKGROUND:
The First Presbyterian Church was built in 1974 when this property was zoned R 1 A,
Single-Family Residence Zone. Churches were a permitted use in the R1A zone. In
1983 as part of a citywide rezoning, the City rezoned this property to RS-5, Low Density
Single-Family. Religious institutions require a special exception in the RS-5 zone. Any
expansion of the existing church on this property also requires approval of a special
exception.
In 2004, the First Presbyterian Church applied for and was granted a special exception
to allow the construction of a columbarium on church property. The special exception
was opposed by owners of three neighboring residential properties. The neighbors
challenged Staff's interpretation that columbaria were an acceptable accessory use for
religious facilities in the RS-5 zone. The neighbors contended that because the Zoning
Ordinance specifically required RM-12 zoning for cemeteries and mausoleums, and
because the Zoning Code did not address columba ria specifically, it was therefore
beyond the jurisdiction of the Board of Adjustment to grant the special exception. A law
suit challenging the special exception is pending.
The Iowa City Zoning Ordinance was updated in 2005. The new code includes a new
chapter that describes all land use categories (14-4A). The chapter provides descriptions
of various principal uses associated with each land use category as well as the
accessory uses associated with each principal use. (Religious Institutions are described
on page 165 of the Zoning Ordinance.) Columbaria are listed as an accessory use (by
special exception) for religious facilities. While the prior special exception is due to be
challenged in district court, the church has chosen to avoid the delay of a trial and has
reapplied for a special exception under the provisions of the new Zoning Ordinance.
The applicant is now requesting a special exception to allow the construction of a 96
niche columbarium, which will allow storage for 192 urns. A columbarium is "a structure
of vaults lined with recesses for cinerary urns" (Webster's Dictionary). The zoning code
defines a religious institution as an organization having a religious purpose, which has
been granted a Federal tax exemption as a section 501 (c)(3) organization under the
Internal Revenue Code, as amended, including churches, rectories, meeting halls,
schools and the facilities related to their use. The columbarium is intended for use by
members of the First Presbyterian Church and, as such, is a facility related to the use of
the church.
ANAL YSIS:
The purpose of the Zoning Ordinance is to promote the public health, safety and general
welfare, to conserve and protect the value of property throughout the city, and to
encourage the most appropriate use of land. It is the intent of the Ordinance to permit
the full use and enjoyment of property in a manner that does not intrude upon adjacent
property. The Board may grant the requested special exception if the requested action is
found to be in accordance with the regulations found in Section 14-4B-4D-14, pertaining
to religious institutions in the RS-5 zone, and the general standards for special
exceptions as set forth in Section14-4B-3.
Specific Standards: 14-48-40-14 (page 199), Special Exceptions: Religious
Institutions. This section requires that religious institutions have access to a collector or
an arterial street and specifies minimum front and side setbacks of 20 feet and a minimum
rear setback of 50 feet. The existing church with the proposed columbarium will meet or
exceed all of these requirements.
The standards also indicate that proposed religious use should be designed to compatible
to adjacent uses. The proposed columbarium is located away from direct view from
residential properties and is small in comparison to the church building; it measures 5 feet
high and has a diameter of 7-10 feet. In addition to the wide setback, existing trees and
shrubs provide screening along Rochester Avenue. The church anticipates no significant
increase in traffic and therefore proposes no additional parking to accommodate the
columbarium. Because of its proposed location, size, and anticipated use, in Staff's view,
the columbarium will have no significant adverse affects of the livability of nearby
residential uses due to noise, glare from lights, late-night operations, odors, or litter.
General Standards: 14-48-3, Special Exception Review Requirements. The
applicant's statements regarding each of the general standards are attached. Staff
comments are offered as needed and correspond to the standards as enumerated in the
Zoning Ordinance.
a. The specific proposed exception will not be detrimental to or endanger the
public health, safety,.comfort or general welfare. There is an existing church on
this property. In Staff's view the expansion of this religious institution to include a
columbarium will have no foreseeable effect on public health, safety, comfort or
welfare. The proposed columbarium is relatively small in scale (5 feet high and a
radius of 7-10 feet) when compared to the existing church building. The
columbarium will be located at least 50 feet away from Rochester Avenue and will
not be highly visible from adjacent residential properties. Although the columbarium
may generate occasional visitors, traffic associated with its presence is not expected
to increase significantly from traffic already generated by the existing church
services. The church has indicated that the proposed columbarium will not change
the intensity of use of the property by its members and does not anticipate any need
for additional parking.
b. The specific proposed exception will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment
of other property in the immediate vicinity and will not substantially diminish
or impair property values in the neighborhood. As noted above, the
columbarium will not be highly visible from the street or neighboring properties. The
church property and the proposed location for the columbarium are screened by
established trees and bushes along Rochester Avenue, and the front setback is
more than the required 20-foot minimum setback. Traffic generated by the
columbarium should not exceed the type of traffic that is generated for memorial or
funeral services, which are already a part of church's function. The applicant has
provided information on property values of homes located next to cemeteries and
supporting statements from other churches that have established columbaria. Even
though cemeteries are more intense uses than columbarium, the information
submitted by the applicant indicates that the presence of a cemetery in a residential
neighborhood in the Iowa City area has not had a diminishing affect on property
values.
c. Establishment of the specific proposed exception will not impede the normal
and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for
uses permitted in the zone in which such property is located. The surrounding
residential properties are already fully developed. .
d. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and/or necessary facilities have
been or are being provided. Adequate utilities, access and drainage are in place to
serve the existing church on this property. The columbarium will not increase
demand on these facilities.
e. Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress or egress
designed so as to minimize traffic congestion on public streets. The Church
has two driveways onto Mt. Vernon Drive and one onto Rochester Avenue. The
proposed columbarium would be located to the west of the driveway onto Rochester
Avenue. As noted traffic associated with the columbariumshould be negligible.
f. Except for the specific regulations and standards applicable to the exception
being considered, the specific proposed exception, in all other respects,
conforms to the applicable regulations or standards of the zone in which it is
to be located. The proposed addition complies with the dimensional requirements
for religious institutions in the RS-5 zone. Minimum 20-foot front and side setbacks
and the 50-foot rear setback are met or exceeded by both the church building and
the proposed columbarium.
g. The proposed use will be consistent with the short-range Comprehensive Plan
of the City. The Northeast District Plan, a component of the Comprehensive Plan,
identifies this area as appropriate for institutional uses, which would include religious
institutions.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that EXC06-00003, an application for a special exception to allow a
columbarium addition to a religious institution in the Low-Density Single- Family zone at
2701 Rochester Avenue be approved, subject to general compliance with the plans
submitted with the application.

SAINT ALBAN'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH
23RD AND ZENITH PO BOX 85 SPIRIT LAKE, IA 51360
712-336-1117
THE REVEREND MARTHA ROGERS, RECTOR 712-336-9337
August 30, 2005
Dear Church Council and Clergy,
St. Alban's Church has an outdoor columbarium that contains 27 niches and is located on
our property. This property was surrounded on the south by empty house lots, on the
west by the hospital's property, on the east by an apartment housing unit and the church
itself sits to the columbarium's north.
Just this summer we installed a brick walkway which reaches from our driveway to the
columbarium and ends in a brick patio for columbarium services.
The southern empty lots were divided and plumbed last summer by their owner. Now the
houses are going up at a terrific rate... we are quickly becoming a neighborhood! (As of
today, there are 7 new residential structures and 3 more in construction where fields used
to abut our property.) The hospital, house owners and apartment residents all appreciate
and value our columbarium. They respect our sacred space and many have voiced their
opinion that this ensures the value of their lots as nothing else will ever be built there or
put on our own property. I have not heard one comment against the columbarium or any
negativity against the neighboring properties because of the location of our columbarium.
Rather, I have received appreciation for how we have decided to use our church yard.
The columbarium itself has seen a 65% increase in reserved niches in the past two years
as our own congregation values the use of our property in this way. We are currently
planning a second columbarium in our church yard since the present one (approx. 8 years
old) is reaching capacity of full niches and reservations.
In my opinion, a columbarium built on a church property is a very positive and
appropriate use of such property. Churches honor and care for the remains of the dead
and often beautify columbarium property and maintain this area better than they had
previously. It is a win-win deal-for the church, for the families involved and for the
neighbors to your property. This is my experience with our columbarium.
Sincerely,
/l'l'!r ,4-11, ,,-.

Dear Mr. Brown:
Thank you for the call the other day. I have been searching for references regarding
your situation. We have not had a problem like this to my knowledge.
Some churches that might help are:
· St. Johnls in Ames, IA. They have any interior and exterior unit. I think you have
their number, but if you donlt, let me know and I will get it to you.
· Village Presbyterian, 1300 Shermer Road,Northbrook, IL 60062-4577 (847)
272-0900 Website http://www.tvpchurch.org - custom exterior
· First Congregational Church of Crystal Lake, 461 Pierson Street, Crystal Lake, IL
60014 (815) 459-6010 Website http://fcccrystallake.org. - custom exterior
· Notre Dame in Clarendon Hills, IL, 64 Norfolk Avenue, Clarendon Hills, IL 60514
(630) 654-3365 Website http://www.notredameparish.orglindex.htm - pre-
assembled
All of these churches are in residential areas or have residences nearby. I have not
contacted any of them to tell them about your call either. I can do that if yould like. I am
also including a contact in Crystal Lake, who is fund raising for a columbarium now -
Bob Visin. He is in the commercial real estate field.
Please call me with questions. I am here to help.
Sincerely,

SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS:
EXC06-00001 Discussion of an application submitted by Willowwind School for a special
exception for a school of generalized instruction and a reduction of the rear setback from 50 feet
to 38 feet for property located in the High Density Single-Family Residential (RS-12) zone at
950 Dover Street.
Walz said that general educational uses are allowed in the RS-12 zone by special exception.
Walz said the building was originally constructed as a church and was later used as a Moose
Lodge. She stated that a portion of the building is currently rented by the Moose to Faith
Holiness Apostolic Church.
Walz said there are specific requirements in the code for general education facilities in that zone.
She noted that the proposed use must not have a significant adverse effect on the livability of the
adjacent residential lises. Walz stated that in the staffs view the proposed use will not have
significant adverse affects on the livability of nearby residential uses. She noted that Willowwind
School operates on a similar schedule to the Iowa City public schools. Walz said the transition to
an educational use will not result in any change to the building size or any expansion of the
parking lot as it has been established.
A second requirement is that vehicular access to the proposed use is limited to streets with a
width of minimum 28 feet. Walz said that vehicular access to the school will be along a collector
2
street, Dover, and an arterial, Muscatine, which both meet the minimum requirement of 28 feet
specified in the code. She noted that with the previous special exception for this property,
neighbors expressed some concern regarding the volume of traffic on Musc~tine Avenue and the
limited visibility on Dover Street due to the curve north of the entrance to the property. Walz
said on-street parking has been restricted along Dover Street in order to maximize visibility at
this location. She said the existing traffic control at the Dover/ Muscatine intersection has been
evaluated by traffic engineers and has been determined to be appropriate.
Walz said that the proposed use must be designed to be compatible with adjacent uses. She
added that in 2000 the Board of Adjustment granted two special exceptions for the property to
allow the building to be used as a church and full-time daycare facility for approximately 35
children. Walz said that at the time these special exceptions were reviewed, neighborhood
residents expressed concern about the lack of sidewalks connecting Muscatine A venue directly
to the property as well as traffic safety issues along Dover Street and Muscatine A venue. She
noted that both special exceptions were granted subject to screening requirements for the parking
lot and construction of a sidewalk along the Dover Street right-of-way from Muscatine to the
property entrance. While a religious group has rented space in the building for the past five
years, the daycare center was never developed at this site and the required modifications were
never installed.
Walz said that it is also required that the use comply with the multi-family site development
standards. She noted that, according to the design standards, any portion of the parking lot that is
visible from Dover Street should be screened to the S2 standard. She said the screening between
the parking lot and neighboring yards is appropriate, but the screening in the front should be
brought to S2 standard as specified in the code. She added the parking lot may be required to
have some additional trees and landscaping to meet design review standards.
Walz said the minimum setback requirements are exceeded on all sides of the building with the
exception of the rear setback, which is approximately 40 feet, where a 50 foot setback is
required. She noted the setback requirements are intended to provide space in order to buffer
adjacent property from the more intensive use that such facilities generate. Walz said the new
zoning code requires that new structures intended for such uses provide off-street parking at the
rear, which is one of the reasons for the larger rear setback requirement. She said the parking on
the property is already established as a nonconforming accessory use in front of the principal
building. She added the back fas;ade of the building is blank, and Willowwind has indicated that
this portion of the property will be used only as an emergency exit and will not serve as a
designated play area for the students. Walz stated the topography of the site, combined with the
existing privacy fence along the property line provides an adequate buffer, screening these
properties from the additional noise and traffic generated by the school.
Walz noted that in addition to the specific standards required for a general education facility in
the RS-12 zone, there are general standards that are always applied when considering a special
exception.
The specific proposed exception will not be detrimental to or endanger the public healthy,
safety, comfort or general welfare. Walz said there is adequate vehicular access and parking
necessary to support the proposed use. She noted that subject to the applicant constructing a
direct sidewalk connection from the current sidewalk end, north of the property entrance, to
Muscatine Avenue along the east side of Dover Street, staff finds that the proposed special
3
exception will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort or general
welfare.
The specific proposed exception will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other
property in the immediate vicinity and will not substantially diminish or impair property
values in the neighborhood. Walz said the change to an educational use with limited student
enrollment should have minimal effect on surrounding properties. She noted that the school
operates during the weekdays from 8AM to 5:30 PM, and thus traffic and noise generated by the
school will be limited. She added that existing screening along the rear of the lot and between the
parking lot and adjacent property should provide adequate buffer for the neighboring residential
uses. Walz said that the establishment of landscape islands with trees within the parking lot and
additional landscape screening as spelled out in the multi-family site development standards will
minimize the visual effect of the large parking lot and bring the site closer to conformance.
Establishment of the specific proposed exception will not impede the normal and orderly
development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the zone
in which such property is located. Walz said that the surrounding properties are already
developed, and the proposed exception will not impede the normal and orderly development and
improvement of the surrounding property.
Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and/or necessary facilities have been or are being
provided. Walz said that the vehicular access to the property via a collector and an arterial street
meets the requirements for educational uses established in the RS-12 zone. She noted the
construction of a sidewalk will ensure safe pedestrian access to the property. She stated that a
fire lane will need to be identified along the building to provide access for emergency vehicles.
Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress or egress designed so as to
minimize traffic congestion on public streets. Walz noted that on-street parking has been
restricted along Dover Street in order to maximize visibility at that location. She said the existing
traffic control at the Dover/ Muscatine intersection has been evaluated by traffic engineers and
has been determined to be appropriate.
Except for the specific regulations and standards applicable to the exception being
considered, the specific exception, in all other respects, conforms to the applicable
regulations or standards of the zone in which it is located. She noted that with the addition of
the sidewalk access to Muscatine, and appropriate screening of the parking lot, the property as it
exists is appropriate for this use. Walz said that the applicant is required to submit a site plan to
the building official for review and will be subject to all other requirements of the Zoning Code.
She added the site plan must meet the Construction and Design Standards for off-street parking,
including proposed traffic circulation on the site, designation of an emergency vehicle/fire lane
along the building, and parking layout and landscaping requirements.
The proposed use should be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as amended. She noted
that the use of the property as a school complies with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
Walz said that staff recommends that EXC06-00001, an application for a special exception
allowing a general educational facility in the High Density Single-Family Residential (RS-12)
zone and a special exception allowing a reduction of the rear setback requirement for a general
educational facility in the RS-12 zone be granted subject to submittal of a site plan

demonstrating sidewalk construction along the east side of Dover Street connecting the current
sidewalk to Muscatine; landscape screening along the front of the parking lot on Dover Street;
and a proposed parking layout, traffic circulation, and landscaping on the site, including
identification of a designated fire lane.
Public Hearing Opened
Tim Terry, president of the Willowwind Board~ said that they are delighted to have the
opportunity to petition for this exception. He stated that the school will be an enhancement to the
neighborhood. He said that they are prepared to comply with all the requests of the City.
Public Hearing Closed
Wood said he is very supportive of school moving into neighborhoods. However, he said that his
concern relates to the traffic situation. He said that when the plan was initially made for the 35
children full-time day care facility there was some concern regarding traffic. Wood said that the
current plan is for twice as many students and the traffic issue will increase.
Walz said that the traffic engineers did not foresee any problem with the control on that street
intersection. She acknowledged that the area is a heavily traveled and that as the city grows and
public school enrollments grow, the traffic will continue to grow, even without the proposed
school. Traffic engineers will continue to monitor the intersection and are prepared to manage
any changes for traffic safety as needed.
MOTION: Wright moved that EXC06-00001, an application for a special exception
allowing a general educational facility in the High Density Single-Family Residential (RS-
12) zone and a special exception allowing a reduction of the rear setback requirement for a
general educational facility in the RS-12 zone be granted subject to submittal of a site plan
demonstrating sidewalk construction along the east side of Dover Street connecting the
current sidewalk to Muscatine; landscape screening along the front of the parking lot on
Dover Street; and a proposed parking layout, traffic circulation, and landscaping on the
site, including identification of a designated fire lane. Alexander seconded the motion.
Alexander will vote in favor. She said it does not appear that the proposed exception will have
significant adverse effects on the livability for the nearby residents. She added that the similar
schedule to the Iowa City schools will increase the traffic at the same time, but in relatively
confined times. The building has always been used for institutional purposes, and having a
school will not represent a big change. Alexander said that the sidewalk will help with the safety
concerns. She mentioned that the streets meet the minimum requirements of 28 feet width.
Alexander stated that the traffic engineers have evaluated the existing traffic control and decided
that it is appropriate. She said that there were some issues regarding the parking lot which can be
resolved by the use of landscape. Alexander said that in terms of the rear setback, the intent of
the code is being met. She stated that there is no evidence that the proposed exception will be
detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort or general welfare. She said that the
vehicular access is adequate and parking exists to support the use. She added that it will not be
injurious to the use and enjoyment of other properties, or substantially diminish or impair
property values. She said that the surrounding properties are already developed, so there should
be no issue regarding the development of the neighboring properties. Alexander said that the
utilities, drainage and access roads are appropriate.
5
Wright said that he will vote in favor of the application. He said that the specific standards are
met. He said there are several letters from surrounding residents that support the establishment of
the Wilowwind School at that location. He noted that the sidewalk issue will be addressed, and
vehicular access is appropriate to standards. He noted that the general standards are also met.
Wright said that a fire lane will be identified, and a site plan will be submitted for review.
Leigh will vote in favor for the reasons already stated.
Wood will vote in favor. He said that it will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health,
safety, comfort and general welfare subject to the construction of sidewalk. He said that it will
not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of properties in the immediate vicinity, particularly
with the establishment of landscape islands. He said that the utilities, access roads, drainage and
other facilities are provided, the egress and ingress are appropriate, and the use is consistent to
the comprehensive plan.
Shelangouski will vote in favor for the reasons already stated.
The motion passed with a 5:0 vote.
OTHER:
Leigh will not attend the March meeting.
Alexander said that the Board should agree on a communication method to notify Staff if they
are not able to attend a meeting. She said that she always comes to meetings unless she notifies
Miklo.
The Board decided that a 24 hour notice is preferred, and unless a board member sends notice of
a planned absence it should be expected that he/she will be in attendance.
