Re:
Riverfront Crossings
The consultants hired by the EPA for the Riverfront Crossings District planning effort will be
in town next Monday through Wednesday for a design workshop. For this planning effort we
are drafting a more detailed plan for a small area of the district (the area outlined in red on
the attached map). We will be considering detailed urban design issues, new zoning
designations, major new park areas, and the potential reconfiguration of the street
pattern and traffic circulation in this area.
At Monday's informal meeting, Clark Henry of the consulting team will give the Commission
an update on the project and outline future plans. You are also invited to attend a wrap-up
session on Wednesday, October 6 at 10:30 in Emma Harvat Hall, at which the consulting
team will present the work that they complete during the workshop and receive feedback.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
This property is located in Johnson County just south of the current corporate limits. A
large portion of the property was a sand quarry and now contains a lake where the quarry
operations occurred. The portion of the property adjacent to the river contained residential
structures that were removed after being damaged in the 2008 flood. In 1997 the South
District Plan identified this property as appropriate for future public open space. The City
acquired this property for parkland/environmental preservation with the intent of
implementing the policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
ANALYSIS:
Annexation:
The Iowa City Comprehensive Plan (1997) has established a growth policy to guide the
decisions regarding annexations. The annexation policy states that annexations are to occur
primarily through voluntary petitions filed by the property owners. Further, voluntary
annexation requests are to be reviewed under the following three criteria.
1. The area under consideration falls within the adopted long-range planning boundary.
The properties are located within the South Planning District. The properties were not
initially included in the Long-range Planning Boundary adopted with the 1997
Comprehensive Plan because it was not anticipated that the area would have access
to sanitary sewer service. During the South District planning process, the public
identified the subject properties as an important element of the district due to the
environmentally sensitive features and potential to fulfill a need for public open
space. The Long-range Planning Boundary shown in the South District Plan was
extended at that time to include the subject properties, which were then designated
for future public open space and environmental preservation.
2. Development in the area proposed for annexation will fulfill an identified need without
imposing an undue burden on the City.
Annexation of the property would be consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive
Plan, which identifies a need for public open space and preservation of
environmentally sensitive areas, particularly those within the floodplain. The South
District Plan states the properties proposed for annexation are envisioned as a future
community park and conservation area associated with the reclamation of the
sandpit. Although the public park will create some additional cost for the City, the
City has developed a long term budget for the improvement of the park and
additional outside sources will be pursued for funding support. Staff therefore
believes that the annexation should not be an undue burden on the City.
3. Control of the development is in the City's best interest.
The Comprehensive Plan states that voluntary annexation requests should be viewed
positively when the above conditions exist. Staff believes that the voluntary
annexation request meets these conditions. The properties proposed for annexation
PCDlStaff Reports\ann1 0-00003+rez1 0-00010 t. trueblood park,doc
3
serve as an entrance to the city, lie within the floodplain, and contain environmentally
sensitive features. The South District Plan states the land proposed for annexation
will serve to implement the open space policies, which recommend acquisition of
parkland within the wooded wetlands in the Iowa River Corridor. Therefore, City
ownership and control of these properties is appropriate.
Rezoning:
The properties are currently zoned as County Agricultural Residential (AR). The proposed
rezoning to P-1 has been initiated by the City to reflect that the properties have been
acquired by the City for public open space and environmental preservation. Section 14-2F-
1 B-1 of the Zoning Ordinance states that uses such as schools, parks, police and fire stations,
and other civic buildings owned or otherwise controlled by the County, the City, or the Iowa City
Community School District for such uses will be designated as P-1, Neighborhood Public Zones.
The P1 zoning designation serves a notice function to those owning or buying land in proximity to
publicly owned land. This zone change will bring the publicly owned parcels into compliance with
Section 14-2F of the Zoning Ordinance.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval for ANN 10-00003 and REZ 10-00010, annexation to the City' of
Iowa City and rezoning of approximately 207 acre land from County Agricultural Residential
(AR) to Neighborhood Public Zone (P1), located east of Iowa River, south of McCollister
Boulevard, and west of Sand Road.

File Date:
August 26, 2010
45 Day Limitation Period:
No limitation with annexation
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicants have requested annexation to Iowa City. The land consists of 1.85 acres on 420th
street, west of Taft Avenue and south of the Iowa Interstate Railway and 420th St SE. Three
vacant buildings currently sit on the site. In 2008, the city annexed 179 acres of land for Industrial
use to the west and north of the subject property. Those 179 acres are currently being subdivided
by the City.
2
ANALYSIS:
Annexation
The Comprehensive Plan has established a growth policy to guide the decisions regarding
annexations. The annexation policy states that annexations are to occur primarily through
voluntary petitions filed by the property owners. Further, voluntary annexation requests are to
be reviewed under the following three criteria.
1. The area under consideration falls within the adopted long-range planning boundary.
The City's long range planning boundary is defined as the area for which sanitary sewer
service can be provided. This sanitary sewer service area is generally based on
watershed boundaries and the general topographical features of the land. A general
growth area limit is illustrated in the Comprehensive Plan and on the City's Zoning Map.
The subject property is located adjacent to the city's eastern corporate limit and within
the city's long-range planning boundary. The City Engineer has examined the
topography in the area and determined that sewer service can be provided to the
entirety of this property from the Scott Boulevard Trunk Sewer.
2. Development in the area proposed for annexation will fulfill an identified need without
imposing an undue burden on the City.
There is an identified need for additional land to provide for future industrial growth.
The land under consideration for annexation is a logical extension of the existing
industrial area. The upgrade of 420th Street is currently underway. Other City services
will also be extended.
3. Control of the development is in the City's best interest.
The property is within the Long-Range Planning boundary and abuts the City's corporate
limits. The City of Iowa City has identified a need for additional land for future .
industrial development. Therefore, control of this property is in the City's best interest.
Under County jurisdiction, development is limited by inadequate sewer, water and
road services. Annexation will allow the land to be developed in a manner consistent
with industrial zoning and will ensure adequate traffic circulation and efficient
provision of public services, such as water, sewer, and streets.
The Comprehensive Plan states that voluntary annexation requests should be viewed positively
when the above conditions exist. In staff's view, these conditions have been met for this
voluntary annexation request.
Rezoning
Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan states that "the provision of space for industrial development is a
community-wide goal. The Southeast Planning District contains property which is appropriate
for meeting this goal. For years, long-range plans of Iowa City have shown expansion of the
BDI Industrial park, east of Scott Boulevard between the Iowa Interstate Railway line and 420th
Street." Since the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan in 1997, land for the Scott-Six
Industrial Park was annexed and has been largely built out. The city recently purchased 179
acres adjacent to the subject property on the west, and is now developing that land into an
industrial park.
3
General Industrial (1-1) Zoning is consistent with the zoning on adjacent property to the west
and north.
Streets and traffic circulation:
Improvement of 420th Street to the west of the subject property is currently underway.
Upgrade of this roadway is necessary to provide appropriate access for future industrial users.
Improvements on 420th will eventually be extended east to Taft Avenue, once all properties
along that section of road are annexed. It is also in the City's long range plans to improve Taft
Avenue to meet future access and traffic circulation needs for areas east of Scott Boulevard.
Infrastructure
The City is extending water mains along 420th Street as part of the street reconstruction
project, to make water service available for future development. Sanitary sewer service will be
made available with extension of a branch from the Scott Boulevard Trunk Sewer.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that ANN 10-00004 and REZ1 0-00012, an annexation to the City of Iowa
City and rezoning of 1.85 acres of land from County Heavy Industrial (MH) to General Industrial
(1-1) be approved.

Development Corporation for a preliminary plat and a rezoning from Interim Development
Office Research Park (ID-ORP) zone to Planned Development Overlay Office Research
Planning and Zoning Commission
September 16, 2010 - Formal
Page 2 of 6
Park (OPD-ORP) zone for approximately 60.32 acres, Research Development Park (OPD-
RDP) zone for approximately 56.48 acres, and Mixed Use (OPD-MU) zone for
approximately 24.49 acres, for Moss Green Urban Village, an 18-lot, approximately 235-
acre office park and mixed use development subdivision located west of North Dodge
Street/Highway 1 and north of Interstate 80.
Miklo stated that the Commission had reviewed this development several months ago and had
recommended approval subject to the delineation of the wetlands. At the time the plan was
approved the thought was that there was one wetland and there was a question as to whether
or not it was jurisdictional. The wetland study has since been completed and it has been
discovered that there are actually a number of wetlands in the corridor near the stream. Some
of them are too small or isolated to be considered jurisdictional by the Army Corp of Engineers
or the City's Sensitive Areas Ordinance. There are two wetlands, one in the western portion of
the development and one in the eastern, that would be considered jurisdictional if they were
associated with the stream. Because there was some question, there was going to be some
fairly lengthy review at the federal level so the applicant opted to go ahead and determine that
the wetlands are jurisdictional in order to move the planning process along. As a result, Miklo
said, there needs to be a modification to the Sensitive Areas Development Plan previously
reviewed by the Commission. Miklo said that a request is being made to reduce the required
buffer. The smaller wetland would be eliminated and mitigated because it happens to be
exactly where the proposed stream crossing is located.
Miklo said that the proposal is that the Commission recommends approval of the plan to City
Council with two changes from what had been previously reviewed. The first change would
allow the buffer on the larger wetland to be reduced. The second change would allow the
smaller wetland to be eliminated and compensated for by the creation of a new wetland in
another location. Code requires a 3:1 ratio when replacing wetlands: if one acre is disturbed
then three acres must replace it. In this case, Miklo said, less than one-third of an acre is being
disturbed but over two acres of wetlands are being reestablished.
Miklo said that all other aspects of the plan and the plat are essentially the same as what the
Commission has already recommended for approval. Miklo offered to answer any questions the
Commission might have.
There were none and Freerks opened the public hearing.
Wally Pelds, Pelds Engineering, Des Moines spoke on behalf of the applicant. He said that
though the developer and the wetlands specialist they had hired believe that the wetlands are
isolated and not affiliated with the stream, they did not want to wait for a federal process to
determine that before they could proceed with development. He noted that the mitigation ratio
they have planned is 25:1. He said that even the Corp agrees that the mitigated wetlands the
developer has planned are a natural fit for the area and will be an improvement over what is
there presently. Pelds said everything else about the plan should be exactly as it was when
originally recommended for approval.
Freerks invited questions from the Commission. There were none, so she invited other
members of the public to speak to this issue. Seeing none, the public hearing was closed.
Freerks invited a motion.
Payne motioned to approve the recommendation for REZ10-00004 with conditions noted
Planning and Zoning Commission

Page 3 of 6
in the motion approved at the Commission's April 15, 2010 meeting, with the exception
that a revised Sensitive Areas Development Plan illustrating two additional wetlands, B
and D, and a wetlands mitigation site located in Outlot C, be recommended for approval
in lieu of the Sensitive Areas Development Plan recommended for approval on April 15,
2010.
In addition, Payne motioned to approve SUB10-00005, with the exception that a revised
preliminary plat showing the additional wetlands and wetland mitigation site be
recommended for approval in lieu of the preliminary plat recommended for approval on
May 6th, subject to approval by the City and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers of a
Wetland Mitigation Plan consistent with the Sensitive Areas Development Plan approved
as part of REZ10-00004.
Weitzel seconded the motions.
Plahutnik said that if staff is comfortable with changing the buffering in the northern area of the
property then he sees no reason why it would not be a good idea.
Payne agreed.
Freerks said that the plan recommends a good ratio swap in terms of the wetlands, noting that it
is not often that a 25:1 ratio is proposed when only a 3:1 ratio is required.
A vote was taken and the motion carried 6-0 (Eastham absent).
CONSIDERATION OF MEETING MINUTES: SEPTEMBER 2. 2010:
Busard motioned to approve the minutes.
Plahutnik seconded.
A vote was taken and the motion carried 6-0 (Eastham).
OTHER:
Discussion of the Capital Improvements Proaram:
Miklo explained that every January the City Council begins the preparation of a City budget
which includes a Capital Improvements Program that lays out what the City will be spending on
capital improvements over the next five years. The plan also includes a list of unfunded
priorities, items identified in the Comprehensive Plan, or identified as a City need, that are on
the list but not in a funded year. Miklo said that he had provided the Commission with the
Planning Department's list from last year. Staff has reviewed that list and tailored it to what they
see as this year's needs. Miklo said the list represents a starting point for what staff's thoughts
are. Miklo noted that while there is discussion at the departmental and committee level, it is the
City Council that decides what ultimately makes it into the Capital Improvements Plan.
Miklo said that there were two key policies the Planning Department had looked at for this year:
1) matching state and federal funding sources, especially for flood recovery, and 2) to grow the
Planning and Zoning Commission
September 16, 2010 - Formal
Page 4 of 6
commercial/industrial tax base, including the development of new green-field sites and new
investment and revitalization of existing sites. Miklo explained that the proposed industrial park
on 420lh Street would be an example of a green-field site. Miklo said that the Riverfront
Crossings or Towncrest revitalization plans would be examples of new investment and
revitalization.
Miklo stated that past projects have sometimes concerned themselves with quality of life issues,
such as the construction of trails, or the construction of new streets to spur residential
development. Given the economic realities of the present, Miklo said, those kinds of projects do
not rise to the top of the list in staff's opinion.
Miklo asked Commissioners for their input on the proposed list.
Miklo said that the construction of and continued development of the commercial/industrial
areas in Iowa City are key to the expansion of the tax base and the creation of jobs.
Miklo said that elevating Dubuque Street and the Park Road Bridge are important flood recovery
projects, and will take advantage of available state and federal funding. He noted that it is also
a key economic development factor to keep one of the primary entrances to the city fully
functional.
The First Avenue railroad crossing is important to keeping one of the few north-south arterials in
the city unblocked. Miklo said it was important to the vitality of eastside and southeast side
businesses to reduce traffic problems on First Avenue. Freerks asked if there were grant
dollars available for that project. Miklo said there were some but there are also City funds
budgeted. He said that this was one of the most expensive projects. He noted that there is a lot
of community support for this.
The improvements to the Burlington Street streetscape through medians have been slowed
down with the talk of University building in the area. Miklo said that the idea is to coordinate that
project with the University.
The signalization of Mormon Trek/McCollister Boulevards and old Highway 218 is seen to be a
priority project.
The projects for pedestrian and bicycle access would largely require outside funding in order to
be completed.
Downtown enhancement projects include streetscapes for Gilbert Street and Northside
Marketplace, and the construction of a multi-use parking facility at the site of the old St. Patrick's
Parish Hall.
Plahutnik said that he felt the community still did not have a clear vision as a community for
what should be done with the area just south of Burlington Street. Miklo said that the EPA study
done last year was fairly broad and did not include a concrete plan. He said the City has
received an additional award from the EPA to do a more detailed study of the old wastewater
plant and City Carton area. Miklo said they now hope to have a vision for that area to present to
the Commission by the fall that might translate into a larger vision for the Riverfront Crossings
area. Miklo added that if the School of Music is located on Burlington Street then it would be
buying space in the Heironymous building, which would be a great benefit for that area. He said
that there is also a possibility that Midwest One Bank will be building a headquarters in that
Planning and Zoning Commission
September 16, 2010 - Formal
Page 5 of 6
area, which would also be a plus. He said that Plahutnik was right about the need for clearer
direction for that area.
Miklo said there will be a DOT plan to improve Interstate-BO which the City hopes will allow Iowa
City to urbanize the Dubuque Street interchange and put traffic signals at the off-ramp and
improve traffic flow. The goal would be to have a pedestrian bridge in the area that would
provide access to Waterworks Park and the county subdivisions to the north.
Miklo said that the Towncrest area has been studied as part of the Southeast District Plan. He
said that as that plan progresses they would like to make sure there is funding available for
streetscape improvements. Miklo said there could be partnerships with a private developer to
do some construction in the area.
Miklo said there's been some discussion of improving Riverside Drive in conjunction with the
Miller/Orchard neighborhood and the Riverfront Crossings project.
Both the state and federal funding for flood-related buy-outs will be coming to an end, Miklo
said. This will leave small pockets of scattered homes in those floodplains are which presents
difficulties for the City. Miklo said that they would like to see some funds set aside each year to
purchase those homes as they came on the market. He said that while this seems like a great
expense it would cut down on maintenance costs in the long run. Payne asked if that area
would then eventually become part of City Park and Miklo said it would.
Miklo said that these are the priorities staff sees for the next five years. He asked the
Commission to give the list some thought and provide staff with feedback on it.
