Town of Gilbert (2015) Supreme Court decision. Introduction: In order to implement certain recommendations in the recently created Iowa City Downtown District Storefront and Signage Guidelines, and to bring the sign code into compliance with a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision concerning the regulation of signage, the sign code section of the zoning code needs to be amended. The purpose of this memorandum is to highlight the significant code changes being recommended for consideration. History/Background: In 2015, the Iowa City Downtown District (TCDD) partnered with the City to develop design guidelines for signs and building facades in the TCDD. The design firm, Kiku Obata, was hired to develop the guidelines with input from City staff, the ICDD and downtown business owners and stake holders. A finalized version of these guidelines has been reviewed by staff and accepted by the TCDD. The guidelines are devoted to promoting best practices for signage and storefronts with the goals of a pedestrian oriented downtown that promotes creativity and a successful retail environment. The TCDD Storefront and Signage Guidelines can be found on the ICDD website at www.downtowniowacity.com In June of 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a 1" Amendment (freedom of speech) decision concerning the regulation of content based signage (Reed v. Town of Gilbert). Writing for a majority of the Court, Justice Thomas held that strict scrutiny should be applied when a law is content -based. The case that engendered the decision involved a municipality that regulated signage based on the content of the sign. Signs of the same type and size were allowed in one location and disallowed in other locations based on the content of the copy. The current Iowa City sign code has many sign types that are defined by their content — for example, real estate signs, construction signs, development signs and special event signs. The court's decision essentially concluded that content based sign regulations are unconstitutional. Because the decision involved I" Amendment issues directly relating to sign ordinances, the City Attorney's Office requested staff to review the current code for content based sign regulations and amend the ordinance where needed. Proposed Amendments/Significant Changes Sign code amendment related to TCDD Storefront and Signage Guidelines: While the initial impetus for the proposed amendments for consistency with the Iowa City Downtown District Storefront and Signage Guidelines for the downtown, amendments are also proposed for other commercial zones to make the changes more consistent across the City and to eliminate content September 29, 2016 Page 2 based regulations. A general summary of changes is below - The definitions and prohibited sign sections of the code will also be amended to reflect these changes. 1. Plastic trim cap letters and cabinet signs where the entire face is internally illuminated would be prohibited. This would apply to all signs in CB zones and only to projecting signs in all other zones. See attached samples that illustrate these types of signs. 2. The Canopy Roof Sign would be eliminated as a separate sign type, and would be included in the general canopy sign designation. A canopy sign could be mounted to the top, face or of a canopy. Rather than a square footage limitation on size (12sf), the size would be regulated by a maximum letter height (24 inches) for signs mounted to the top of the canopy and by the length of the canopy (no more than 90%). 3. Fascia sign (sign affixed flat to the building) size would be reduced from 15% of the sign wall to 1.5x the length of the street facing fagade. So, for example, a storefront with 25ft of street facing fagade, would be allowed 37.5 sf of signage. This change would only apply to the CB zones. The other commercial zones would remain at 15% of the sign wall. 4. A larger integral sign identifying the name of a building would be permitted. 5. Projecting signs would be divided into three categories: Storefront, Upper level and Banner. The storefront projecting signs would be reduced in size from 12sf to 9sf but there would still be an allowance for a storefront projecting sign to be larger (up to 18sf) if the storefront has a ground to ceiling height of 18ft or more and the sign is vertically proportioned. Storefront signs are allowed on the first floor fagade up to the bottom of window sills on 2nd floor. Upper level projecting signs can be placed anywhere above the ground floor but below the top roofline or cornice of the building. They can be larger than storefront projecting signs — size is proportional to the height of the building. Banner projecting signs are proposed to be allowed on large multi -tenant buildings such as Old Capitol Mall and size is proportional to the building. 6. A special provision would be added to allow three dimensional storefront projecting signs. These signs would be allowed to rotate, but no other animation would be permitted. 7. The smaller (9sf) storefront projecting signs would be allowed to be hung on chains 8. Window signs would only be permitted in first floor windows. 9. Painted identification signs would be permitted (painted wall signs are currently not permitted) if part of a larger mural but only on alley facades and non -street facing facades that contain a public entrance to the business. 10. In Industrial zones, the size of directional signs would be increased from 3sf per side to 15sf per side. This is proposed to address existing operational issues with semi -truck deliveries in industrial zones, and the limitation on directional signs causing difficulty with out-of-town drivers being able to find delivery locations (this amendment is unrelated to the downtown area). September 29, 2016 Page 3 Sign code amendments related to 1" Amendment Supreme Court decision: A result of amendments that eliminate content based sign types is streamlining and simplification of the code. Some sign types would be completely eliminated and the others grouped under one classification — temporary signs. Additionally, because of the inherent subjective nature of design review for signage, all regulations requiring design review for signage are proposed to be eliminated. If a sign meets all of the objective standards in the code (i.e. size, height, placement etc.), and those regulations have been constructed to ensure the stated goals of the sign ordinance, then design review is a redundant process (Note: Staff has discussed the potential for a design review process for downtown signage that might not 'fit' into a sign definition in the sign code, but cannot recommend it due to the inherent subjectivity in a design review process. If a new type of sign is proposed that is not addressed in the sign code, the appropriate avenue would be to amend the sign code). Highlights of amendments include: A. Content based sign definitions are eliminated, including (but not limited to) ADVERTISING signs, CONSTRUCTION signs, DEVELOPMENT signs, GOING OUT OF BUSINESS signs, YARD SALE signs, etc. B. TEMPORARY signs would be re -defined to be based on sign size and location, consistent within zoning categories. Temporary signs would be regulated based on the situation, for example: i. In all zones, 1 temporary sign may be located on a lot or parcel when the lot is being advertised for sale, up to 4 square feet in size for residential zones and up to 32 square feet in other zones ii. In all zones except residential zones, 1 temporary sign up to 100 square feet in size may be located on a lot or parcel (for up to 60 days) when a business has recently opened or is in the process of closing, or to advertise a philanthropic event or an event of civic interest iii. In all zones, 1 temporary sign up to 32 square feet in size may be located on a lot or parcel when construction or development is occurring iv. In all zones, one temporary sign (up to 4 square feet per sign face) may be located on a lot or parcel for a period not to exceed 14 days and no more than two occasions per calendar year (this provision allows maximum flexibility for small temporary signs and can be used for signs to advertise many things such as from garage sales, fundraising for charities, school -related functions, etc.) C. Reference to signage in Section 14-3C-3 (Design Review Section) is proposed to be deleted D. The word 'temporary' would be deleted from the POLITICAL sign definition — political signs would be unregulated E. Residential Leasing Company signs would be eliminated as a sign type. This type of sign advertises the name and contact information of the company who owns or manages a property. A Residential Leasing Sign is a sign permanently affixed to the building and it does not advertise a particular unit for sale or lease. It is only allowed in multi -family residential zones and only on buildings of 8 units or more. This sign type was created several years ago as a compromise with apartment owners and management companies in order to eliminate all of the signage on single family, duplexes and small unit buildings (original single family houses that September 29, 2016 Page 4 had been converted into multi -family buildings). Previously, these types of signs were considered real estate signs and were allowed on any building. An issue raised in the past by the Northside Neighborhood is that these signs were permanent and detracted from the residential character of the neighborhood. So this new sign type was created and its use was restricted. This sign type is truly content based and no accommodation could be found that could allow it to remain as a sign type. Leasing signs would still be permitted under the temporary sign rules and regulations. Probable and possible impacts: Many of the existing signs downtown would become non -conforming with the adoption of the proposed amendments related to the ICDD Downtown Storefront and Signage Guidelines. Examples include BoJames (too large), Jimmy Johns (too large and trim cap letters), The Den, Food Republic and Meta communications (internally illuminated cabinet signs). These signs would be grandfathered and would not be required to be removed. However, it is anticipated that, eventually, this signage would be replaced by compliant signage as remodels occur and tenants change. It is anticipated that the proposed sign amendments will encourage business owners and sign companies to become more creative in signage design. However, the amendments do not necessarily dictate more expensive signs. Many of the recommended sign types are inexpensive. Staff will present sign images from the TCDD Downtown Storefront and Signage Guidelines at the Commission's October 6 meeting. By eliminating content based signage, the City would be bringing the sign code into compliance with the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court; therefore reducing the possibility of the sign code being challenged in court. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of amending City Code Section 14-513, Sign Regulations; Section 14- 3C, Design Review; and Section 14-9C, Sign Definitions to implement amendments related to the ICDD Storefront Design and Signage guidelines, and the Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015) Supreme Court decision. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Examples of Trim Cap Letter and Cabinet Signs 2.

For fist lbor tenants, when sufficient room ersts, the Storefront Fascia Slgn is located over the storefront or entry. Sometimes trds area is a defined sign band. but often it is not. In some cases, second floor retail tenants are allowed a Second Roo Fascia Sign that may be located above the vnndows of the second floor. Second Rou Fascia Signs are allowed under the following conditions: • When a second floor tenant has a dedicated entry door from the straet. on the same face of the building where the sign is located. • When an entre building contains multiple tenants that are accessed though a common lobby from the street. In this case, a comprehensive sign plan shooing proposed edarior sign locations must be proposed by the building owner and approved by the City. Sign sees and placement should follow these Guidelines. • Offloa wants are rot allowed to Nene a Second Roor Fascia Sign. Best practices - Encouraged Placement of signs on the facade should take into consideration the archtectural features and proportions of the building. The allowable sign area is 1.5 times the length in fest of the street facing facade but should be no longer that 90% of the length of the facade or sign band. On larger buildings, placing the sign over the entrance helps customers understand where to go. When a sign bard odsts, fit signs within the original space of the sign band as defined by the architectural features. Avoid wending beyond the band area.

Haile/U.S. Bank Foundation, will be replicated in six communities across the United States in 2017. CoSign brings together local business owners with artists and professional sign fabricators to create unique signage in designated business districts. The selected cities and the organizations facilitating the process in their communities include: • Alachua, FL — Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Historic District • Charlotte, NC - ArtPop Street Gallery, Plaza Midwood Business District • Evanston, IL - Downtown Evanston, Commercial Business District • West Des Moines, IA - Historic Valley Junction Foundation, Valley Junction Business District • Iowa City, IA — Iowa City Downtown District, Metropolitan Improvement District • Chicago, IL - Uptown United, Argyle Street Business District Each community will begin preliminary planning immediately, leading up to a two-day workshop at the Cincinnati-based American Sign Museum, February 19th — 21". The six to seven month CoSign process will begin in earnest next March and will culminate in the unveiling of 30-12 signs in each community during an existing public event in the fall. Tod Swormstedt, Executive Director of the American Sign museum says, "CoSign designs, fabricates and installs a critical mass of new storefront signage for a given business district. It demonstrates the true value of cross pollination between the arts, small business and the sign industry." He continues, "We are thrilled to work with each of the six communities and expand this project nationally." The project was originally a collaboration of the Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile/U.S. Bank Foundation and the American Sign Museum, both of Cincinnati, and was piloted in Cincinnati's Northside business district in 2012. CoSign was awarded an ArtPlace grant in 2013 which enabled the project to be encored in Northside in 2013 and then across the river to Covington, KY in 2014. The Covington project was additionally supported by an Our Town grant from the National Endowment of the Arts. The ArtPlace grant involved the creation of a "toolkit," so that CoSign could be replicated in other US communities. The critical ingredients for a successful implementation are three -fold: • A critical mass of willing small businesses with a defined geographic area. • A committed, organized group of residents willing to be supportive of their neighborhood business district. • A community character that embraces creative placemaking. 5IGN CoSign recently named Cate Becker of BLDG Refuge as the Project Director for the national implementation of CoSign. Becker was the former Cultural Arts Director for the City of Covington and oversaw the third iteration of CoSign in Covington, KY. In her role, she connected artists and designers to the project, liaised with government officials and organized the 10th anniversary of Art Off Pike, the urban arts festival where the project signs were unveiled. The American Sign Museum is a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit corporation founded in 1999 by Tod Swormstedt, former editor of Signs of the Times magazine. Its Mission is, 'To celebrate the rich history of American signage through preservation and education." The museum is the premier resource for preserving historic signs and promoting the contributions the sign industry makes to commerce, culture and the American landscape. The Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr./U.S. Bank Foundation is an independent family foundation dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for residents in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. The Foundation concentrates its efforts and resources in areas about which Carol and Ralph were most passionate: Arts and Culture, Community Development, Education, and Human Services. All of The Foundation's work is intended to have the greatest impact possible, in collaboration with the region's stakeholders, to help lead the way to a strong and vibrant community.

Gilbert Street and approximately 1.3 -acres of property located at 1301 S. Gilbert Street. Howard began the staff report noting that there is part of the description that should have been included which is "to amend the conditional zoning agreement for approximately 3.97 acres of property located at 1201 S. Gilbert Street' that is the former Nagle Lumber site. Howard explained that the application was subsequently amended to include that because it is all part of the same redevelopment plan. Howard showed a map of the area which is the very southern portion of the Riverfront Crossings District. The area where the wastewater treatment plant was has been demolished and turned into green space for the future Riverfront Crossings Park. Ralston Creek is on the western portion of the subject properties for the rezoning. Howard noted that S. Gilbert Street is not a very pedestrian oriented street currently, but the Riverfront Crossings plan is all about transforming these areas into a walkable neighborhood with a riverfront park instead of a sewer plant. The area is currently low-density, land intensive commercial uses (lumberyard, nursery, etc.) with front parking lots and not a lot of defined traffic circulation. Howard pointed out an older building that has been vacant for a while but is now being repurposed into a craft brewery with a restaurant. That project will need to be incorporated into the redeveloped area in a manner that best meets the vision outlined Riverfront Crossings Master Plan. The property at 1301 S. Gilbert and a portion of the property at 1225 S. Gilbert are currently zoned Intensive Commercial (CI -1). The westernmost portion of the property at 1225 S. Gilbert Street is currently zoned Neighborhood Public (P1). Since this property is not currently owned by a public entity, it is unclear when or why this area was zoned Public. Regardless, the requested rezoning is an opportunity to clear up this matter. The property at 1201 S. Gilbert (former Nagle Lumber) was conditionally rezoned to Riverfront Crossings South Gilbert (RFC -SG) last year before the idea of repurposing the building at 1225 S. Gilbert into a brewery was proposed. The subject rezoning includes a request to amend the conditional zoning agreement to shift the required pedestrian street alignment north to allow the existing building at 1225 S. Gilbert to be repurposed as a brewery. Howard stated the subject properties are located within the South Gilbert Subdistrict of Riverfront Crossings, so rezoning the properties to this designation would be consistent with the plan. Howard shared an excerpt of the regulating plan that is in the Zoning Code for this district, some of the parameters for this zoning are that on the primary streets the buildings have to be built oriented towards those streets and built close to those streets. There are two pedestrian streets that lead over to the new park that are also listed as required primary streets and the Ralston Creek frontage is also considered a required pedestrian street. With regards to the Comprehensive Plan, Howard explained that the South Gilbert Subdistrict master plan objectives talk about capitalizing on Highway 6 access and visibility in this location, leveraging the riverfront area of the new park, improving pedestrian and bicycle connectivity, and restoring and enhancing conditions along Ralston Creek. The development character of the new neighborhood should be a mix of residential and commercial uses in this location, having urban frontage conditions (meaning the buildings are built close to the street with parking located behind), and a street and block pattern that emphasizes connections to the park and providing public access to the park. The maximum building height in this zone is 6 stories, but an airport overlay zone affects the allowed building heights in some locations on the property. Planning and Zoning Commission October 6, 2016— Formal Meeting Page 10 of 15 Howard read from a section from the sub -area plan (that was adopted in 2011) that specifically focuses on enhancements to the public realm, which includes the streets and public open space and how the buildings frame that space. This section of the plan describes the improvements to the public realm that will be necessary to create the walkable pedestrian oriented environment that is envisioned for this area. Currently pedestrians and bicyclists are an afterthought. The existing environment is an uninviting place for pedestrians. The plan states that the design of the public realm including streets and the placement of buildings will greatly affect the quality of place for Riverfront Crossings. Pedestrian comfort and safety should be placed at a premium during the design phases. The circulation pattern should continue the gridded network of streets already in place while connecting to the larger trail network along the Iowa River. To connect residents and visitors along the Gilbert Street corridor to the park, east/west connections with pedestrian bridges across Ralston Creek should be developed. Consideration should be taken to provide amenities for pedestrians including landscaping, street furniture and other amenities. Howard pointed out that the form -based code with the new required east -west pedestrian streets is intended to provide a means to implement the vision of the Riverfront Crossings Plan. Currently these properties do not have a street grid in place and traffic and pedestrian circulation is confusing and undefined. First Street used to extend from Gilbert Street west to Ralston Creek, but was vacated and sold to Aero Rental. Second and Third Streets also do not extend west to Ralston Creek. In order to have urban development and a walkable neighborhood, smaller blocks with new street extensions over to the creek will be necessary. New smaller blocks will provide more street frontage that will increase the development potential for the properties as well as improving connectivity and pedestrian orientation for a new neighborhood to grow in the future. Howard reiterated that while this is a rezoning application it should be noted that a subsequent subdivision platting will need to occur to establish these new required streets. Otherwise the properties will not be able to develop as envisioned in the Riverfront Crossings Plan. Martin asked about the current speed limit on the southern part of Gilbert Street. It is currently 30 m.p.h and wondered if that would be reduced. Howard was uncertain about the speed limit, but that would be something to look into in the future as this corridor redevelops into a more urban, high density neighborhood. Howard showed another map from the Riverfront Crossings Plan that indicated all the pedestrian connections that would be beneficial to a new neighborhood. Moving onto Gilbert Street itself Howard showed a cross section of Gilbert Street envisioned in the plan and it shows a wider right-of-way for better pedestrian movement, comfort, and safety, and an attractive street frontage for new businesses. Dedication of land for this wider right-of-way will be necessary. Street trees are a very important buffer for shade and pedestrian comfort and safety, and should not just be an afterthought. The street cross section in the plan also indicates parallel parking along Gilbert Street, which would activate businesses and buffer the pedestrians from the travel lanes along the street. There is also a desire to accommodate bicycles along Gilbert Street and there would be parallel north -south bicycle routes through the park as well. Next Howard showed a map showing the green space and the pedestrian streets to access the green spaces. Howard explained that not only are these pedestrian streets for access to the park, but also could be used for stormwater management more appropriate to this urban setting rather than providing a stormwater basin in this area, more typical of lower density areas of the city. Green space along the pedestrian streets could be used as stormwater management to Planning and Zoning Commission October 6, 2016 — Formal Meeting Page 11 of 15 capture the water in bioswales and then direct it over to the creek. The City will be investing considerable resources to restoring Ralston Creek in this area so there is a need for careful stormwater management plan for the private development so that run-off will not degrade the stream corridor over time. Howard notes the plan does mention quite a few options for green infrastructure that might be appropriate for this setting. The developers have indicated an interest in exploring these options. Howard discussed the concept plan the developer submitted with their application which shows a basic street and building layout that is generally consistent with the Riverfront Crossings Plan. One of the variations from the plan, however, is the repurposing of the building at 1225 S. Gilbert into a brewery, which makes it necessary to shift the pedestrian street north. Staff notes that the benefit of shifting it to the north is that it will align with Second Street, which usually benefits traffic circulation and creates a logical street pattern. Howard showed the Commissioners several views of the concept plan. In summary, Staff is recommending approval with a number of conditions: (1) Dedication of 40 feet of land along Gilbert Street, some additional land may be necessary nearthe intersection with Highway 6 to accommodate turn lanes. These improvements must be dedicated to the City prior to issuance of an occupancy permit for the brewery at 1225 S. Gilbert Street. (2) Dedication of 30 feet of land along Ralston Creek as measured from the top of the bank prior to issuance of an occupancy permit for the brewery. The City anticipates working closely with the property owners during restoration of Ralston Creek to ensure that existing and future development is enhanced by the creek and park improvements. (3) Prior to issuance of a building permit for any new building on any of the subject properties, a subdivision plat must be approved that establishes a private street that extends west from Gilbert Street to the 30 -foot Ralston Creek pedestrian street. This street should align with 2nd Street and have a minimum 60 -foot right-of-way for the pedestrian street portion and 80 feet for the vehicular portion to provide adequate space for on -street parking. In addition, the subdivision plat should establish a 30 -foot wide cross access easement in a location parallel to and west of Gilbert Street in a manner that will provide safe and adequate traffic circulation and access to parking according to the Riverfront Crossings Plan. At the time of redevelopment this public cross -access easement must be constructed as a private rear alley that provides access to parking areas located behind buildings as illustrated in the Riverfront Crossings Plan. Staff recommends approval of REZ16-00002, a request to rezone approximately 4.57 acres of property located at 1225 and 1301 S. Gilbert Street from Intensive Commercial (CIA) and (P-1) to Riverfront Crossing -South Gilbert (RFC -SG) and to amend the conditional zoning agreement for approximately 3.97 acres of property located at 1201 S. Gilbert Street, be approved subject to a revised conditional zoning agreement for the property at 1201 S. Gilbert Street and a new conditional zoning agreement for the properties at 1225 S. Gilbert Street and 1301 S. Gilbert Street or alternatively, a conditional zoning agreement that addresses all three properties, as outlined in the "traffic and pedestrian circulation" section of the Staff Report dated October 6, 2016. Hensch asked how the issue of the 100 or 500 year flood plains will be addressed, since this is at the delta of Iowa River and Ralston Creek. Parsons commented that it looked like on the maps that all the buildings were located outside the 100 year flood plain but a few buildings were in the 500 year flood plain. Howard agreed that buildings will have to be built above the 500 -year flood plain. She noted that none of the subject buildings were flooded in 2008 and the Planning and Zoning Commission October 6, 2016— Formal Meeting Page 12 of 15 flood plain generally follows close to the eastern edge of the creek. The park will generally be lower and will help provide additional flood capacity. Hensch asked if the railroad truss that goes over Ralston Creek would be taken out. Howard said that is a question the City has for the park consultants. They need to examine that from an engineering and park design standpoint. Crandic Railway doesn't want it as it is an unutilized spur, so they said the City could have the bridge if they wanted it or they can take it out. Freerks stated that the developer's plan was moving in the right direction, but noted a concern that in the original Riverfront Crossings concept plan it appeared there was a stronger pedestrian draw from Gilbert Street into the area that will be public park land. She doesn't feel this concept reflects that, so she hoped that they would continue to refine this aspect and hoped to see it better defined when they bring in a subdivision plat. Signs agreed and said he was struggling because the concept of reusing an existing building from an environmental and sustainability standpoint is excellent but it then seems like the north half of the plan follows the Comprehensive Plan and then it's last on the south half because of the building remaining and the way the traffic will be rerouted. Someone driving by on Highway 6 will just see a big parking lot. Freerks said proposed concept doesn't carry the pedestrians from Gilbert Street to the park as well as what is shown in the Riverfront Crossings Plan. Howard said that will need to be addressed in the subdivision process. Once the streets get laid out it will become apparent where the sidewalks should be and where the parking should be located. Freerks just wanted to make sure since a lot of public money is going into to be invested in this area, so there needs to be good access for the public to get to the park and not just those that will be living in the area. Signs commented on the width of Gilbert Street and that there would be 50 or 60 feet added to that corridor. Is that coming from these properties? Howard said that the plan showed most of the additional right-of-way would be from the west side of the street because of the larger properties and greater likelihood these would redevelop first. On the east side of the street there are a lot of smaller properties so being able to acquire and consolidate properties enough to redevelop would be a lot tougher. Signs questioned then what happens with the Aero Rental building, since it is already close to the street, will that hinder when this streetscape can be redone. Howard agreed that will likely be an issue. The Gilbert Street improvements are not yet in the 5 -year Capital Improvements Plan, but will likely be included as part of the discussion this year due to the pending redevelopment. It is up to the City Council to decide how they wish to allocate the City funds to the various projects around the city. Howard believes this redevelopment will be completed in phases taking into account the Gilbert Street improvements may not happen right away. Parsons asked about the idea of parallel parking on Gilbert Street and he is wondering outside of the downtown area, where else on a major street in Iowa City is parallel parking allowed. Howard believes there are quite a few arterial streets that have on -street parking. Freerks opened the public hearing. Steve Long (HBK Engineering) spoke representing the owner. He acknowledged that the partnership is excited to be part of Riverfront Crossings and also being part of the planning process. He appreciates the City inviting them to be part of that process. Long noted that it was seven years ago tomorrow that there was a large public kick-off for Riverfront Crossings planning effort and now the idea of what could really happen here is materializing. Planning and Zoning Commission October 6, 2016— Formal Meeting Page 13 of 15 Freerks closed the public hearing Hensch moved to approve REZ16-00002, a request to rezone approximately 4.57 acres of property located at 1225 and 1301 S. Gilbert Street from Intensive Commercial (CIA) and (13-1) to Riverfront Crossing -South Gilbert (RFC -SG) and to amend the conditional zoning agreement for approximately 3.97 acres of property located at 1201 S. Gilbert Street, be approved subject to a revised conditional zoning agreement for the property at 1201 S. Gilbert Street and a new conditional zoning agreement for the properties at 1225 S. Gilbert Street and 1301 S. Gilbert Street or alternatively, a conditional zoning agreement that addresses all three properties, as outlined in the "traffic and pedestrian circulation" section of the Staff Report dated October 6, 2016. Signs seconded the motion. Parsons stated he likes the idea of pedestrian connectivity and feels the placement of the buildings and all that will come into place when they come up for review. He really likes (a) the restoration of Ralston Creek as an asset to the area and also (b) blending Gilbert Street into the area, right now it is just kind of a four -lane speedway to people to get from one place to another Cutting off those small driveways and making it a four -lane landscaped street with a median will really make it an asset to the area. Martin commented that she is loving where this area is going, but as a bicyclist the idea of all the parking spaces along Gilbert Street frightens her as cars will be backing in and out, so conceptually she is not seeing super pedestrian or bicycle friendly and hopes it will be improved as the plan is refined. Hensch believes this is all very exciting especially the idea of Ralston Creek redevelopment, particularly the overview of Riverfront Crossings park. This will be a premier area that will have a lot of interest for people to live, recreate and shop in that area. Signs agrees with everyone and likes the direction this project is going, and appreciates the development group's willingness to dedicate space to this nice new street and to orient their buildings to the park and the Ralston Creek walkway area. The fact that one group is looking at such a large area at one time is a great way to start a major redevelopment in that area. Dyer likes the idea but commented it scares her that it is one builder and that all the buildings may then look the same. Different owners might have different visions. A vote was taken and the motion carried 7-0. CONSIDERATION OF MEETING MINUTES: SEPTEMBER 1. 2016 Signs moved to approve the meeting minutes of September 1, 2016. Hensch seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed 7-0. STAFF REPORT To: Planning and Zoning Commission Prepared by: Karen Howard Item: REZ16-00002 Date: October 6, 2016 GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant: 1201 Gilbert LLC, 1225 Gilbert, LLC and 1301 Gilbert LLC 3855 Locust Ridge Road North Liberty, Iowa 52317 Contact: Steve Long HBK Engineering 319-338-7557 Requested Action: Rezone from Intensive Commercial (CI -1) and (P1) Zone to Riverfront Crossings — South Gilbert (RFC - SG) and amend the conditional zoning agreement for 1201 S. Gilbert Street Purpose: Location: Size: Existing Land Use and Zoning: Surrounding Land Use and Zoning File Date: 45 Day Limitation Period: BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Redevelopment according to the Riverfront Crossings District Plan and form -based code 1201, 1225, 1301 S. Gilbert Street Approximately 8.54 acres commercial/ CI -1 & RFC -SG North: commercial (CI -1) South: commercial (CI -1) East: commercial (CI -1) West: Riverfront Crossings Park (P1) February 11, 2016 (Amended March 9, 2016; deferred March 11; re -activated Sept. 14, 2016) October 28, 2016 The properties subject to this rezoning request are in the South Gilbert Subdistrict of Riverfront Crossings. They include the current site of the Pleasant Valley Garden Center, Nagle Lumber, and a vacant commercial building located between the garden center and the lumber yard, which is being re -purposed into a brewery, restaurant, and bar. The Nagle Lumber property was rezoned to Riverfront Crossings — South Gilbert (RFC -SG) in 2015 with a conditional zoning agreement that ensured necessary rights-of-way would be dedicated to the City to achieve the street and block pattern anticipated in the Riverfront Crossings Master Plan and required by the 2 form -based zoning code. These required streets include portions that are reserved for pedestrians, including two east -west streets that extend from Gilbert Street to a pedestrian street that extends north -south along Ralston Creek. The application includes a request to shift the southernmost pedestrian street to the north to line up with 2nd Street, which will allow the anticipated renovation and re -purposing of the vacant commercial building at 1225 S. Gilbert Street. This change will require an amendment to the conditional zoning agreement previously approved for 1201 S. Gilbert Street. Directly west of these properties is the site of the new Riverfront Crossings Park. Plans for the first phase of the park development will be finalized over the next year and will include restoration of the Ralston Creek stream corridor, creation of off -channel wetlands, and trail connections on both sides of Ralston Creek. Due to the importance of these properties in relation to the new park and Ralston Creek, the Riverfront Crossings Plan and the form -based zoning code have specific goals and requirements that apply when these properties are redeveloped. ANALYSIS: Current Zoning: The property at 1301 S. Gilbert and a portion of the property at 1225 S. Gilbert are currently zoned Intensive Commercial (CI -1). This zone is intended to provide areas for those sales and service functions and businesses whose operations are typically characterized by land intensive commercial uses that have outdoor storage or work area components, back office functions and wholesale sales businesses, and commercial uses with quasi -industrial aspects. Due to the potential for externalities such as noise, dust, and odors from the allowed uses in this zone, residential uses are not allowed in this zone. The westernmost portion of the property at 1225 S. Gilbert Street is currently zoned Neighborhood Public (P1). Since this property is not currently owned by a public entity, it is unclear when or why this area was zoned Public. It could be that this area along Ralston Creek used to be owned by the City, but at some point was sold to a private property owner and the zoning map was never amended accordingly. Regardless, the requested rezoning is an opportunity to clear up this matter. As noted above, the property at 1201 S. Gilbert was conditionally rezoned to Riverfront Crossings — South Gilbert (RFC -SG) last year. The subject rezoning includes a request to amend the conditional zoning agreement, which is discussed in more detail below. Proposed Zoning: The Riverfront Crossings form -based zoning for the South Gilbert Subdistrict (RFC -SG) would be a significant upzoning, since the CI -1 Zone does not allow any residential uses and has a height limit of 35 feet. The RFC -SG zone allows for a broad mix of commercial and residential uses, similar to uses allowed in the Central Business Zones and has a maximum height limit of 6 stories, with an upper story stepback of 10 feet required along all primary frontages above the 41' story. Bonus height may be allowed up to maximum of 8 stories. It should be noted that the Airport Overlay Zones may constrain the height of buildings on these properties, particularly the southernmost area. An airspace study will be needed to determine maximum building height at the time a building permit is issued. Unlike the CI -1 Zone, the Riverfront Crossings code allows for a variety of building types (Townhouse, Multi -Dwelling, Live -Work Townhouses, Commercial, Mixed -Use, and Liner buildings). To implement the vision contained in the Riverfront Crossings Master Plan (see attached illustrations), the form -based code has specific frontage requirements due to its important location next to the new Riverfront Crossings Park. The Code designates Gilbert Street as a primary street with a required retail storefront frontage, which means that the site will be required to have commercial or mixed-use buildings that front on Gilbert Street. Two new streets will be required extending west from Gilbert to Ralston Creek. A significant portion of these streets 3 must be designed to meet the pedestrian street standards in the form -based code. These properties also have required Ralston Creek frontage along their western boundaries, which must be configured as a minimum 30 -foot wide pedestrian street that includes a public trail and buildings with entries that open toward the creek with views and access to the new park. Buildings must be located close to and oriented toward all primary streets with entries opening onto an improved streetscape designed to provide a comfortable and attractive environment for pedestrians. Parking must be located behind or within buildings that front on these four primary streets. The only street frontage that is not considered a primary frontage is Highway 6. Street fronting parking is allowed long this frontage as long as it meets required setbacks and screening standards. The plan anticipates that vehicular circulation and access to parking areas or structures will be provided from a north -south alley that extends parallel to Gilbert Street to provide cross -access and traffic circulation for all properties along Gilbert Street between Kirkwood Avenue and Highway 6 as they redevelop in the future. The applicant is requesting to vary somewhat from the plan in order to facilitate re -use of the existing vacant building at 1225 S. Gilbert Street, which is discussed in more detail below. Staff notes that a subdivision will be required to take advantage of the Riverfront Crossings zoning, because all buildings must have frontage along a street and parking may not be located between buildings and primary streets. The new east -west streets, the pedestrian street along Ralston Creek, and the north -south midblock alley will be necessary to allow buildings in locations other than along Gilbert Street. Affordable Housing: Due to the increasing need for affordable housing in the community, the City recently adopted an inclusionary housing ordinance that requires a certain percentage of units within any new residential building constructed in the Riverfront Crossings to be affordable. Alternatively, the developer may opt to pay a fee in lieu of providing the units on site. Any fees collected will be placed into an affordable housing fund. These affordable housing requirements will apply to any new buildings constructed on the subject properties that contain residential units. Sensitive Areas: Ralston Creek is a regulated stream corridor according to the City's sensitive areas ordinance and as such a 30 -foot buffer between development and the edge of the creek is required. As noted above, the applicants have agreed to dedicate 30 feet of land along the western boundaries of the subject properties to the City, as measured from the top of the bank of Ralston Creek. Dedication of this land will ensure compliance with the sensitive areas ordinance and the Riverfront Crossings form -based code. A sensitive areas site plan delineating the stream corridor, the top of the bank, and the 30 -foot buffer to be dedicated to the City of Iowa City for a pedestrian street will be required as a part of the subdivision process that will be required prior to redevelopment. Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan: The Downtown and Riverfront Crossings Master Plan was adopted in January 2013 as an integral part of the City's Comprehensive Plan. In addition, a more detailed sub -area plan for this portion of Riverfront Crossings was adopted in 2011. The subject properties are located in the South Gilbert Subdistrict of Riverfront Crossings. The master plan and subarea plan highlight the defining features of this subdistrict, including the potential for mixed-use buildings along a more pedestrian -oriented Gilbert Street and buildings that front on tree -lined pedestrian streets that provide views and access to the new riverfront park. In addition, the plan highlights the importance of restoring Ralston Creek and making it an attractive environment for both the public and for future residents. In the original sub -area plan adopted in 2011, there is an emphasis on encouraging green infrastructure and best management practices with regard to managing stormwater. The two pedestrian streets are envisioned not only as means of pedestrian circulation, but also as a possible location for bioswales that would filter and naturally clean stormwater run-off from adjacent lots before it outlets into Ralston Creek Given that the right-of-way for Gilbert Street is currently not wide enough to provide the pedestrian environment necessary to support the anticipated increase in commercial and residential density made possible with the rezoning, staff recommends that with any rezoning along this frontage land be dedicated to the City to increase the right-of-way according to the street cross-section illustrated in the Riverfront Crossings Plan. In addition, the pedestrian streets, including the Ralston Creek pedestrian street will be required in order to comply with the zoning code, so the portions of these pedestrian streets that fall on the subject properties will also need to be platted as streets. A subdivision to create the new lots, blocks, streets and mid -block alley to allow redevelopment of the properties will be necessary. The timing of the street dedication and platting will need to be addressed in a conditional zoning agreement that ensures that anticipated street connections are provided, but in a manner that accommodates the anticipated phasing of redevelopment on the various properties. The applicant has provided a statement and concept plans showing generally how they envision developing these properties over time. Development will occur in phases allowing time for both Nagle Lumber and the Pleasant Valley Nursery to move or discontinue operations according to their agreements with the developer. Since redevelopment is not likely to occur immediately, detailed plans have not yet been developed. It should be noted that the concept plans submitted with the application are not detailed enough to determine compliance with the form -based zoning code and approval of the rezoning does not guarantee approval of this specific site plan. Rather, the concepts convey the applicants' intention to develop the site in a manner consistent with the goals of the master plan with residential units fronting on to the pedestrian streets and along Ralston Creek and several mixed-use or commercial buildings aligned along Gilbert Street. The three-dimensional concept included in the application indicates that anticipated buildings will range between 2 and 6 stories in height in compliance with the form -based standards for the South Gilbert District. With the previous rezoning of the Nagle Lumber property it was assumed that the east -west pedestrian streets would be located as shown in the Riverfront Crossings Master Plan and a conditional zoning agreement to that effect was approved. However, there is a desire to renovate and repurpose the vacant commercial building located between Nagle Lumber and Pleasant Valley Nursery into a brewery, restaurant and bar. Since it is important to the future tenant/owner of this building to have parking and loading access along the north and west sides of this building, the applicants are requesting to shift the pedestrian street that was originally envisioned along the south side of the Nagle property north to line up with 2nd Street. The submitted concept plan illustrates generally how the new streets would be aligned and how vehicular cross -access would be created to allow the existing building to remain. In addition, since the building that is being repurposed is located too far west from Gilbert Street to comply with the maximum setback in the form -based code, there will be more space between the building and the street even after improvements are made to Gilbert Street. The applicant would like to continue to use this space for parking in the interim until the City makes the improvements to Gilbert Street, but has agreed to dedicate the necessary right-of-way along all the subject properties from the Nagle Lumber property all the way to the corner at Highway 6. Staff finds that shifting the pedestrian street to the north to align with 2nd Street will have advantages over the alignment illustrated in the Riverfront Crossings Plan as it creates fewer traffic conflict points along Gilbert Street and will aid in future traffic circulation if access is limited to 1s 2nd and 3d Streets and other driveways to Gilbert Street are eliminated as redevelopment occurs. Shifting the pedestrian street to the north will provide the same level of public access to the park and create the "green fingers" envisioned in the Riverfront Crossings Master Plan. As noted, to improve both pedestrian and vehicular traffic circulation over time, unnecessary 5 driveways along the Gilbert Street corridor should be closed. The southernmost driveway shown on the concept plan is particularly problematic as it will create a conflict between vehicles changing lanes into the future right turn lane and vehicles exiting the development site so close to the intersection. The City is likely to require this access point to be closed when Gilbert Street is reconstructed. Staff is supportive of the applicants' proposal to establish a new right -in / right -out access directly to Highway 6 as shown in the concept plan. This would create better and safer access to Highway 6 than a driveway so close to the Highway 6 intersection. As Highway 6 is a state highway, any new access point to Highway 6 will require [DOT approval. The Riverfront Crossings Plan encourages green infrastructure solutions to stormwater management. With the City's anticipated investment in restoration of Ralston Creek, it will be important to carefully manage stormwater run-off in a manner that will not degrade the stream corridor. Staff recommends that at such time as the properties are redeveloped that green infrastructure options for stormwater management be required to the extent possible. The green spaces within the pedestrian streets may be particularly suited to this purpose. However, the details and feasibility of the stormwater system will need to be worked out at the time of development based on a more in depth study of the conditions of the site and to ensure that the system works properly over time. The developers will be collaborating with City staff and the City's design and engineering consultants for the new park to make sure that the interface between new development and the park is attractive, functional, and beneficial for future residents and businesses as well as the community at -large. In summary, the proposed rezoning of the subject properties to RFC -SG is consistent with the comprehensive plan, provided that land is dedicated to the City for the public rights-of-way necessary to support the anticipated increase in residential and commercial density and to ensure a safe, healthy and attractive environment for future residents and visitors to this area. A subdivision plat will be required for the applicants to take full advantage of the Riverfront Crossings zoning. Details of the timing of subdivision and dedication of right-of-way should be addressed in a conditional zoning agreement. Compatibility with neighborhood: The applicant has indicated their intention of developing the site in a manner similar to what is shown in the Riverfront Crossings Plan. While adjacent sites are zoned CI -1, it is anticipated that over time other property owners will decide to take advantage of the additional development possibilities afforded by Riverfront Crossings zoning, which along with the public investment in street improvements along Gilbert Street and the new park will transform the South Gilbert Subdistrict into the mixed-use, pedestrian -oriented neighborhood envisioned in the Riverfront Crossings Plan. As long as a conditional zoning agreement is approved to ensure that the property is subdivided and the new streets established to allow full development of these properties, staff finds that the proposed rezoning is compatible with the character of the neighborhood anticipated by the Riverfront Crossings Master Plan. Traffic and Pedestrian Circulation: With dedication and platting of the land for the additional rights-of-way needed to comply with the Riverfront Crossings Master Plan, anticipated pedestrian and vehicular traffic can be accommodated upon redevelopment. To that end, staff recommends approval of a conditional zoning agreement to address the need for the following additional street connections and improvements: Dedication of 40 feet of land is needed along Gilbert Street to achieve the street cross- section illustrated in the Riverfront Crossings Plan. Staff recommends that the land from all three properties along Gilbert Street needed for future ROW improvements be dedicated to the City prior to issuance of an occupancy permit for the brewery at 1225 S. Gilbert Street. At a minimum the ROW dedication should be 40 feet in depth along the entirety of the Gilbert Street frontage. Some additional land may be necessary near the intersection with Highway 6 to accommodate turn lanes. The City will issue temporary use of ROW agreements for existing property owners that will allow continued use of these areas as currently configured until such time as Gilbert Street is improved or when properties along Gilbert Street are redeveloped, whichever occurs first. A strip of land 30 feet in depth as measured from the top of the bank of Ralston Creek along all three properties should be dedicated to the City prior to issuance of an occupancy permit for the brewery at 1225 S. Gilbert Street. Since some of the existing buildings used by the Pleasant Valley Garden Center maybe located within this 30 foot creek buffer, the City will issue a temporary use of ROW agreement until such time as Pleasant Valley Nursery ceases operations on the site. The City anticipates working closely with the property owners during restoration of Ralston Creek to ensure that existing and future development is enhanced by the creek and park improvements. Prior to issuance of a building permit for any new building on any of the subject properties, a subdivision plat must be approved that establishes a private street that extends west from Gilbert Street to the 30 -foot Ralston Creek pedestrian street. This street should align with 2nd Street and have a minimum 60 -foot right-of-way for the pedestrian street portion and 80 feet for the vehicular portion to provide adequate space for parking. In addition, the subdivision plat should establish a 30 -foot wide cross access easement in a location parallel to and west of Gilbert Street in a manner that will provide safe and adequate traffic circulation and access to parking according to the Riverfront Crossings Plan. At the time of redevelopment this public cross -access easement must be constructed as a private rear alley that provides access to parking areas located behind buildings as illustrated in the Riverfront Crossings Plan. SUMMARY Riverfront Crossings zoning designations are one of the primary tools being used to transform the auto -dependent, sometimes quasi -industrial properties in the South Gilbert Subdistrict of Riverfront Crossings into a new walkable mixed-use neighborhood. Staff finds that the proposed rezoning of these properties is a desirable step in achieving the vision of the Riverfront Crossings Master Plan. However, in this particular location the increased density of residential living and mix of uses allowed with the proposed zoning will result in the need for an improved "public realm," including better street connections, safer and more attractive areas for people to walk and bike, usable open space, and use of green infrastructure to address quantity and quality of stormwater run-off appropriate to an urban neighborhood adjacent to Ralston Creek and the new Riverfront Crossings Park. The improvements to the public realm are both a catalyst for redevelopment as well as a necessary and functional aspect of a new South Gilbert neighborhood. As this area redevelops land needs to be dedicated for these necessary improvements, including additional right-of-way along Gilbert Street and new east -west street connections to create a walkable block pattern and access to the new riverfront park. Staff recommends that these elements be addressed in a conditional zoning agreement and implemented through a subsequent subdivision process. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends REZ16-00002, a request to rezone approximately 4.57 acres of property located at 1225 and 1301 S. Gilbert Street from Intensive Commercial (CI -1) and (P-1) to Riverfront Crossing -South Gilbert (RFC -SG) and to amend the conditional zoning agreement for approximately 3.97 acres of property located at 1201 S. Gilbert Street, be approved subject to a revised conditional zoning agreement for the property at 1201 S. Gilbert Street and a new conditional zoning agreement for the properties at 1225 S. Gilbert Street and 1301 S. Gilbert Street or alternatively, a conditional zoning agreement that addresses all three properties, as outlined in the "traffic and pedestrian circulation" section above.

Gilbert Street and 1301 S. Gilbert Street from Intensive Commercial (CII) and Neighborhood Public (P1) to Riverfront Crossings - South Gilbert Subdistrict (RFC -SG). In addition, 1201 Gilbert LLC requests that the Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA) for the property at 1201 S. Gilbert Street be amended to accommodate the change requested in the rezoning application for the location of the pedestrian right-of-way. The pedestrian right-of-way is proposed to move north to line up with Second Street which is a deviation from the Riverfront Crossings Plan. 1201 Gilbert LLC, 1225 Gilbert LLC and 1301 Gilbert LLC proposes to utilize the City's vision of Riverfront Crossings to maximize the properties to incorporate a mix of commercial and residential uses. The site is an infill development with access to existing utilities, is adjacent to the new Riverfront Crossings Park and within walking distance to restaurants, thousands of jobs, the pedestrian mall and the University of Iowa campus. The demolition of the City's wastewater treatment facility to the west, the new Riverfront Crossings Park that will open up the riverfront for the first time in nearly 100 years and the recently adopted Riverfront Crossings Plan are the major catalysts for this project.

The district contains an eclectic mix of industrial and commercial uses. Similar to the Park District, this district will utilize the future regional park as a development catalyst In addition, it will also benefit from the future light rail stop that will be located on the east side of the district. Gilbert Street will redevelop as amain streii with mixed use buildings fronting on the street and structured parking located to the rear. Retail will be located on the first floors of these buildings, and residential and office uses will be located above. Smaller residential courtyards will be located along these east/west connections and provide green "fingers' into the Gilbert Street corridor. In addition, upper end condos will overlook the regional park and Ralston Creek, which will be restored and enhanced.

KIRKWOOD AVE.-� E e,E a+skass:>as'` d i HIGHLAND AVE. 97 green space The Riverfront Crossings District Sub -Area Plan Identified several recommended green space enhancements, including the new regional park enhancements to Ralston Creek and integrated stormwater BMP's, such as pervious pavement, stormwater planters, and bioswales, located throughout the sub -district. The plan for the remainder of the District recommends several additional opportunities, Including the following: I. Iowa River Utilize environmentally sensitive methods to modify the Burlington Street Dam and stabilize and enhance the banks of the Iowa River. Done correctly, these enhancements will improve the health of the river system, provide access to the river, recreational opportunities, such as a white water course and serve as a catalyst for adjacent redevelopment projects. Along with these improvements, the riverfront trail should be extended north along the east bank of the river, and a new trail connection should be constructed along the west bank of the river south of Benton Street to Hwy 6. 2: Ralston Creek Full fledged restoration of Ralston Creek should be undertaken from its mouth at the Iowa River north and east to the limits of the Study Area. Years of urbanization and stormwater runoff have degraded the creek and significantly eroded its banks. An important aspect of the new riverfront park should be the implementation of bank stabilization and restoration of Ralston Creek. Rather than structural solutions for the creek, "soft" methods should be used, including channel shaping and restored riparian corridor vegetation. This vegetative buffer will help to filter and treat runoff prior to entering the creek, enhancing the water quality and function of the stream, while also providing wildlife habitat. This will help Ralston Creek become a multi. functional community asset for Iowa City. In order to accomplish this, It will be necessary for the City to purchase strategic property along the creek. The City should explore mechanisms for open space fees to create a fund for open space improvements, such as park development, land purchases, etc. Developers, who abide by open space requirements, could donate land or fees in lieu of these requirements. The fees from this could be utilized to help fund land purchases along the creek. This would allow for construction of a parallel trail along the west side of the creek and a consistent setback of 30'from the top of the bank. Doing so would vastly Improve the health of the creek, turn it Into an amenity instead of a liability, and encourage new development along its banks. i Public Realm Diagram public realm Development Blocks Mankured Landscape Naturalized Landscape _ Trees Existing Waterways Study Area Boundaries 0' 400' 800' 1600' 45 3: Clinton Street Promenade The Clinton Street Promenade is the primary link between Downtown and the new regional park. It Is designed to accommodate vehicular, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian mobility options. In addition to Its travel lanes, bike lanes, on -street parking, and wide sidewalks, it will have 12'wide landscaped parkway strips on each side of the street. The wide swath of landscaping will provide a place for street furnishings, art, and, most importantly, will symbolically pull the park northward into Downtown. 4: Cll nton Plaza As Clinton Street transforms into a grand multi -modal promenade llnIdng Downtown Iowa City with the new regional park to the south, a ceremonial plaza should be constructed along it between Court Street and Harrison Street. This plaza will incorporate land on each side of the street (Including a portion of the courthouse's east lawn), and will function as a focal point and 'outdoor room" for key community events. The South Downtown section will describe this in more detail. 5: Station Plaza The block bounded by Wright Street, Lafayette Street, Dubuque Street, and Clinton Street has strategic importance. The train station for the passenger rail line connecting Chicago and Omaha will be located on the north side of this block. In addition, a stop for the proposed light rail line connecting Iowa City with Cedar Rapids will be located on the south side of this block. Connecting these two key transit nodes will be a grand civic plaza that will be fronted by new mixed-use buildings and street level retail bays. The plaza will be designed to encourage Interaction among, and between, these facilities and adjacent uses. 6: Riverside Drive Enhancements Anumberof Improvements are proposed for the Riverside Drive corridor. These enhancements will be catalysts that will encourage redevelopment and help it transform from its current auto -oriented condition to one that is more pedestrian friendly. Improvements consist of enhanced streetscaping along the corridor, entrance monuments at the U.S. Highway 6 intersection, a small 'attached square'at the northwest corner of Riverside Drive and Benton Street, and two "greens' designed to allow views of the river from the street. 46 downtown and riverfront crossings pian Geek Restoration to return Ralston Creek to an amenity for the area.
