Dubuque Street 3,749 square feet Vacant, Intensive Commercial (CI -1) North: Johnson County Ambulance Service building, (P-1) South: BP gas station (CI -1) East: Contactors Shop and warehousing (CI -1) West: Parking Garage (P-1) Riverfront Crossings—Central Crossings May 25, 2016 July 9, 2016 The applicant, Johnson County Board of Supervisors, requests that the subject property located at 808 South Dubuque Street be rezoned from Intensive Commercial (CI -1) to Neighborhood Public (P-1). This parcel was recently purchased by Johnson County to be redeveloped for the proposed 2 Johnson County Ambulance Building in conjunction with the abutting property to the north. A residential structure was recently removed from the site. The property to the north was rezoned from CIA to P-1 in April 2015. The County's intent is to expand the Johnson County Ambulance Facility, consolidate the Johnson County Medical Examiner's facility and provide storage for the Auditor's Office voting equipment in a new building. The applicant has chosen not to use the "Good Neighbor Policy". ANALYSIS: Current zoning: The purpose of the CIA zone is to provide areas for those sales and service functions and businesses whose operations are typically characterized by outdoor display and storage of merchandise, by repair and sales of large equipment or motor vehicles, by outdoor commercial amusement and recreational activities or by activities or operations conducted in buildings or structures not completely enclosed. Proposed zoning: The P-1 zone is intended for 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. These uses are subject to certain development standards in order to create a consonant transition between public and private uses. Compatibility with neighborhood: In addition to the abutting northern property, the adjacent area to the west, known as Johnson County Campus, is already zoned P-1. These properties are located within the Riverfront Crossings District. The County has made efforts to design a building which is compatible with the urban neighborhood envisioned for this area in the Downtown and Riverfront Crossings Master Plan. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of REZ16-00005, an application submitted by Johnson County for a rezoning from CIA to P-1 for 3,739 square feet of property located at 818 S. Dubuque Street. ATTACHMENTS 1. Location Map 2.
