� MEMORANDUM
Date: May 4, 2017
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Robert Miklo, Senior Planner
Re: REZ17-00007 Prairie Hill Co -Housing Amendment
Background: In July 2015 the City Council approved a rezoning from Medium Density Single
Family Residential (RS -8) to Planned Development Overlay/Medium Density Single Family
Residential (OPD/RS-8) and a Planned Development Overlay Plan for Prairie Hill, a 33 -dwelling
unit cohousing development located on the west side of Miller Avenue south of Benton Street
(copies of the previous staff report and memorandum are attached). The applicant is now
requesting approval of amendments to the OPD Plan to allow 3 additional dwelling units and to
make minor changes to building designs, garage sizes, and to add 5 parking spaces as detailed
in the attached statement from the applicant. One additional unit is proposed in the common
house and a duplex is proposed to change to a four -unit building with the addition of a second
floor. As a result of building within the previously approved building footprints, with the
exception of the additional parking spaces, no significant changes to the building coverage or
site design will occur if the amendments are approved.
Density: Even with the 3 additional units the density of Prairie Hill will be 4.6 units per acre, well
within the maximum of 8 dwelling units per acres allowed under an OPD -8 zone and the
approximate 5 units per acre achieved within typical RS -8 zoned development. The applicant
also submitted an exhibit demonstrating that if the property were subdivided into a conventional
cul-de-sac street, up to 36 dwelling units could be achieved. Based on these numbers, staff
finds the amendment meets the approval criteria for density within an OPD zone (Section 14-
3A-4 D).
OPD Design: The four townhouse style units to the north of Prairie Hill Lane are proposed to
change from 2 floors to 1 floor. A floor will be added to the duplexes located in the southwest
corner to create 4 stacked flats. The attached elevation drawings illustrate that the overall
character of the design is similar to the previously approved plan. As noted above the additional
dwellings are proposed to occur in approximately the same footprint shown on the previously
approved OPD.
The additional units require five parking spaces. Three spaces are proposed to be added in the
parking area near the entrance to the development and two are proposed near the common
house. The applicant will need to demonstrate to the City Engineer that the stormwater
management facilities contain sufficient capacity for the additional stormwater runoff.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of REZ17-00007 a rezoning to amend the preliminary OPD Plan to
add three dwelling units to Prairie Hill resulting in a total of 36 cohousing units on 7.8 -acres of
land located on the west side of Miller Avenue south of Benton Street.

STATEMENT FROM THE APPLICANT
Iowa City Cohousing LLC is requesting several changes to the Planned Development Overlay
(OPD) plan approved by City Council January 19, 2016.
1. ADDITIONAL LIVING UNITS. Iowa City Cohousing LLC realized that it would be
possible to add more units than previously approved within the RS -8 density. Doing so
will permit us to include more owners and make all of the units more affordable. The plan
approved by the city Council included 33 living units. This application is a request to add
3 units. The additional units will be added to the buildings already sited on the plan with
no change in building footprints.
a. COMMON HOUSE --The City Council approved plans for 3 apartments on the upper
level of the building of the Common House. This application is a request to build a
fourth apartment (unit 36) the same size as the other 3. (See floor plans.)
b. BUILDING 27-30. The plans approved by the council showed this building as a
single -story duplex with units up to 950 sf each. We are requesting that the building
be changed into a two-story fourplex (or stacked flats) with 2 apartments of up to 950
sf on each level. The building would be similar to 3 other stacked -flat buildings (units
9-12, 13-16, and 17-20). This new one, however, would have two stories above
ground and, therefore, no upper level entry. (See site plan.)
c. CHANGE CONFIGURATION OF UNITS 6 AND 7. The 4 -unit townhouse building
approved by the council featured 2 single -story 950 sf units on the ends and 2 two-
story 1600 sf units in the middle. Due to member preference for smaller single -story
units we have reduced the size of the middle units to 800 sf on one level. (See
original and revised townhouse elevations.)
2. CHANGE DESIGN OF STACKED FLATS. The design of the stacked -flat buildings (9-
12, 13-16, and 17-20 as well as the new 27-30 will be changed to feature a shared porch
across the lower level. The previous version featured balconies on the upper level and
covered porches on the lower level. (See original and revised stacked flat elevations.)
3. INCREASE THE DEPTH OF GARAGES. The increased depth of 2 feet on all garages to
provide storage space will be accomplished by moving the garages forward on the
parking pads. There will be no increase in the amount of impervious pavement.
4. ADD FLEX SPACE TO THE SIDE OF A GARAGE. Extra space will be provided in one
garage for storage.
5. ADD 5 PARKING SPACES. The addition of 3 living units with 5 bedrooms warrants the
addition of 5 parking spaces. There will now be 56 parking spaces.
6. FLIP COMMON HOUSE PLAN. The approved design of the Common House will remain
unchanged, except flipping it end over end resulting in relocation of the entrances.
Appropriate changes have been made to the contours on the site plan.
7. CHANGE SIZE OF SIDEWALK ALONG MILLER AVENUE. Increase the width of the
sidewalk along the Miller Avenue side of Prairie Hill from the approved 5 feet to 6 feet to
match a new 6 -foot sidewalk the city will install along the Miller Avenue side of Benton
Hill Park.

MEMORANDUM
Date: May 21, 2015 Previous staff memorandum dated May 21, 2015
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Robert Miklo, Senior Planner
Re: REZ13-00010 Prairie Hill Co -Housing
Background: On October 2, 2014 Commission voted 3-2 to recommend denial of an
application submitted by Iowa City Co -Housing for a rezoning of 9.65 acres of land located at
Miller Avenue and Benton Street from Medium Density Single -Family (RS -8) zone and
Neighborhood Public (P-1) zone to Planned Development Overlay/Medium Density Single -
Family (OPD -8) zone for 7.68 acres and Neighborhood Public (P-1) zone for 1.97 acres.
Commissioners who voted against the application indicated that their concerns were the
proposed private street access to Benton Street and the proposed changes to Benton Hill Park
necessary to allow the private street.
The applicant, Iowa City Co -Housing, has submitted a new plan that places the proposed
dwelling units on the eastern portion of the property and includes Prairie Hill Lane, a private
street, which would intersect with Miller Avenue. Development is no longer proposed on the
western half of the property and no direct street access is proposed to Benton Street. The
exchange of a portion of Benton Hill Park for land adjacent to Miller Avenue to add to the park is
no longer proposed.
Planned Development Overlay (OPD) Design: The general concept of co -housing with a
common house and attached dwelling units located in clusters still applies. Much of the
analysis contained on pages 2 to 6 of the previous staff report dated September 18, 2014 (copy
attached) applies to the revised plan. Revisions in addition to the relocation of Prairie Hill Lane
are discussed below.
The plan now includes 33 dwelling units with 14 units contained in duplex style buildings, 4 units
in a town house style building, 12 units contained in 4-plex buildings, and 3 units in the common
house (the previous plan had a total of 32 units: 26 duplex style units and 6 units in the common
house). The attached elevation drawings show the new building designs. Although the unit
configuration is different, the building materials and character are similar to the previous
proposal. In staffs opinion the proposed buildings are compatible with the neighborhood and the
intent of the OPD standards. Four units, label "DU", located adjacent to Miller Avenue have
front doors that face an internal court yard and a second door that faces Miller. The backside of
the buildings have been designed to present an attractive fagade toward the public street. The
dwellings are set back 25 to 35 feet from the property line and landscaping is proposed between
the public sidewalk and the dwellings.
Pedestrian Access: This plan includes a sidewalk along Miller Avenue adjacent to this property
and extending along the east side of Benton Hill Park to Benton Street. The entire sidewalk
should be installed with the construction of Prairie Hill, but the City will reimburse the applicant
for the construction cost for the portion adjacent to the park. Installation of this sidewalk will
provide good pedestrian access for this development and will improve pedestrian access for the
larger Miller Orchard Neighborhood.
Within the development a sidewalk is provided adjacent to the south and west side of Prairie Hill
Lane. Off-street sidewalks provide access to the individual dwelling units. Staff recommends
that an additional sidewalk connection be provided to Miller Street to the south of units #9 & 10
May 15, 2015

near the northeast
pedestrians from the
south before walking
corner of the development. Without such a connection, north bound
north of part of this development would need to walk about one block
north.
There is an existing 15 foot wide pedestrian access easement located along the west and north
property line. The previous plan proposed relocating that easement to the south property line.
The current proposal leaves the easement in its original location. Due to the steep grade,
neither location is ideal for a sidewalk, and there does not appear to be good alternative location
for a sidewalk to cross this property form west to east. In staff's opinion, leaving the easement in
its current location is an acceptable option.
Environmentally Sensitive Areas: Compared to the previous plan, less of the steep and
critical slopes are proposed to be disturbed. This is because development is no longer proposed
in the west half of the property where much of the steep and critical slopes are located.
In the revised plan 100% of woodland will be disturbed. This increase, when compared to the
previous plan, is due to the removal of portions of Benton Hill Park from the plan and the.
development of the property adjacent to Miller Avenue that was to be set aside as park land
according to the previous plan. As noted in the September 18 Staff Report, the City, Forester
has reviewed the woodlands on this property and found that they consist of undesirable species
or species that are susceptible to disease, including Ash and Walnut, and the woodlands have
not been properly maintained.
Based on the amount of clearing, the sensitive areas regulations require the planting of
replacement trees on this property and/or on public lands approved by the City Forester. The
OPD plan includes a landscape plan showing the location of proposed trees. To assure
appropriate species are properly located, staff recommends that the final landscape plan be
approved by the City Forester.
Storm Water Management: The plan includes a series of rain gardens adjacent to and among
the dwellings west of Miller Avenue. A large storm water basin is proposed in the southeast
corner of the property. The City Engineer is reviewing recently submitted storm water
management plans. These plans should be approved by the City Engineer prior to the Planning
and Zoning Commission voting on this application.
Summary: The revised plan does not include direct street access to Benton Street or significant
modifications to Benton Hill Park. In staffs opinion the proposed buildings are an attractive
design and would be made of quality building materials in an effort to support sustainable
development. The proposed co -housing community will be a unique form of housing that has
had success in other communities. Its construction in the Miller -Orchard Neighborhood would
support the City's efforts to provide a variety of housing types within the neighborhood and is
consistent with the intent of the OPD section of the code. Storm water management and minor
site plan issues must be resolved prior to the Commission voting on this application.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that this application be deferred pending resolution of deficiencies and
discrepancies noted below.
Upon resolution of these items, staff recommends approval of REZ13-00010 a rezoning of 7.8 -
acres of land located on the west side of Miller Avenue south of Benton Street from Medium
Density Single -Family (RS -8) zone to Planned Development Overlay/Medium Density Single -
Family (OPD -8) zone to allow Prairie Hill a with 33 -unit co -housing development subject to 1)
the landscaping and tree replacement plan to be reviewed and approved by the City Forester
and; 2) at the time of final plan approval the development agreement will address the
construction of the sidewalk adjacent to Benton Hill Park.

DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
1. Storm water management plans must be approved by the City Engineer
2. A ten foot wide buffer must be provided between the northwest side of the common house
and the parking lot.
3. The sidewalk on the south side of Prairie Hill Lane at its intersection with Miller Avenue
should be moved away from the curb to provide room for snow storage and a pedestrian
buffer.
4. The water line along the west side of Prairie Hill Lane should be located to provide room
for street trees.
5. A sidewalk should be provided between the northeast corner of the development and
Miller Avenue.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The subject property is southwest of the intersection of Benton Street and Miller Avenue.
Currently the property is vacant. The surrounding area consists of residential homes varying from
single family to apartments. The Theodore Roosevelt Education Center (former Roosevelt
Elementary School) is located to the north. Commercial areas are located to the south of the
2
PRE i JS STAFF REPORT
property along Highway 1
The applicant, Iowa City Co -Housing, is requesting a rezoning from Medium Density Single Family
Residential (RS -8) and Public (P-1) to Planned Development Overlay (OPD -8) for 7.68 acres and
P-1 for 1.97 acres and preliminary plat approval of Prairie Hill. The rezoning would allow for a 32 -
unit condominium development with units 26 units clustered in duplex style townhouses. The plan
also includes a community building with common facilities and 6 apartments. Six of the duplexes
would have garages incorporated into the units. There would be 19 parking spaces in five
garages and 29 surface parking spaces. The plan includes relatively large areas of open space,
some of which would be dedicated to the City for extension of Benton Hill Park in exchange for
land that would provide private street access to Benton Street.
The applicant requests access to the development via Benton Street on land currently owned by
the City as part of Benton Hill Park. A conservation and public access easement would preserve
much of this existing open space for public use. In exchange for acquiring 1.8 acres of park land
the applicant has offered to dedicate 1.97 acres of land on the southeast end of the property for
park use.
The property does contain sensitive features and the applicant has submitted a Sensitive Areas
Development Plan and a subdivision called Prairie Hill. The subdivision would create the Lot 1, a
7.68 acre tract that would contain the development, and Outlot A (1.97 acres) which would be
dedicated to the City for addition to Benton Hill Park.
The property would be developed by Iowa City Cohousing. A cohousing community is a type of
intentional community composed of private homes supplemented by shared facilities.
Cohousing is designed with the intention of facilitating interaction among neighbors for social,
practical, economic and environmental benefits. The community is planned, owned and
managed by the residents — who also share activities which may include cooking, dining, child
care, gardening, and governance of the community. Common facilities are proposed to include
a kitchen, dining room, laundry, guest rooms, and recreational features. The attached
statement labeled 'The Cohousing Concept" (Exhibit A) provided by the applicant contains a
more detailed description of Co -housing.
The applicant has used the "Good Neighbor Policy" and has conducted two neighborhood
meetings as discussed in Exhibit A.
ANALYSIS:
Current Zoning: The current zoning of the property is for Medium Density Single Family
Residential (RS -8), which allows single family homes on lots with a minimum of 5,000 square feet
of lot area and a minimum lot width of 45 feet. Duplexes are allowed on comer lots. Nonresidential
uses, such as religious institutions and day care centers, may be allowed by special exception.
The applicant has submitted the attached plan (Exhibit B) showing how the property could be
developed with at least 32 single-family lots within a conventional subdivision.
Proposed Zoning: The applicant requests rezoning to a Planned Development Overlay Zone
(OPD -8), which permits flexibility in uses and design when conventional development is
inappropriate and changes are not contrary to the Comprehensive Plan. The OPD zone
encourages the best use of the existing landscape and infill development. The applicant requests
approval of an OPD rezoning to allow dwelling units to be clustered on the property so that less
grading will be required and that common open space may be set aside for use of the residents
and the general public. The clustering will also help achieve a physical environment that is
conducive to the formation of a community as envision in co -housing developments. The details of
the OPD plan are discussed below under the OPD Plan.

3 PfSVIOUS STAFF REPORT
Compliance with Comprehensive Plan: The property falls within the Southwest District Plan,
Roosevelt subarea in the Miller -Orchard Neighborhood (pages 25 to 36 and Appendix C of the
Southwest District Plan). The District Plan encourages the preservation of the existing housing
and encourages infill development that is compatible with the neighborhood; and indicates that the
area lacks pedestrian links within and between surrounding properties. This concern has been
partially addressed by recently constructed sidewalks/trail along Miller Avenue, Hudson Avenue,
Orchard Street and Highway 1.
The District Plan notes that the existing RS -8 zoning is appropriate for this property, but that a
Planned Development Overlay (OPD) zone would allow the clustering of housing units to
encourage the best use of the existing topography. The plan states: "Future development of the
vacant land along Miller Avenue should be carefully considered with regards to efforts to stabilize
and revitalize the Miller -Orchard Neighborhood."
In staffs view the proposal complies with the goals stated in the Comprehensive Plan as it would
bring a new form of owner occupied housing into the Miller -Orchard Neighborhood and would
compliment the City's and the Neighborhood's efforts to improve the housing stock in the area.
Planned Development Overlay (OPD) Pian: To achieve the cluster plan the applicant is
requesting several modifications of the zoning and subdivision regulations including:
1) One common lot as opposed to individual lots as required in RS -8 zones.
2) Multiple duplex style dwellings on one common lot (which otherwise are limited to
comer lots in the RS -8 zone).
3) A common house that would contain a common kitchen and dining room and 6
apartments.
4) A private street that has a 20 -foot wide pavement within a 35 -foot wide easement,
rather than the minimum 26 -feet wide pavement within a 60 -foot wide right-of-way
required for public streets.
5) Waiver of the requirement of sidewalks in certain locations.
7) A non-standard cul-de-sac design.
Four general standards must be met when the applicant requests waivers of underlying zoning
and subdivision regulations as discussed below:
1. The density and design of the Planned Development will be compatible with and/or
complementary to adjacent development in terms of land use, building mass and scale,
relative amount of open space, traffic circulation and general layout.
In staffs opinion the proposal meets the standard pertaining to density. The proposed
density of 32 units on 7.68 acres equals approximately 4.5 units per acre. Historically RS -8
zoned subdivisions have developed at approximately 5 units per acre although some have
achieved 8 units per acre.
In staffs opinion the proposal is also compatible with the neighborhood in terms of land use.
The Miller Orchard neighborhood contains a mix of single family homes and duplexes. The
area to the west contains a significant number of multifamily buildings. This proposal
contains mostly duplex style dwellings and only six apartments in the common house. This
combination of units provides for clustering and the preservation of large areas of open
space and would support the community -oriented environment desired in co -housing
developments.
The building mass and scale for most of the buildings is similar to many of the houses in the
PCD0a f ReporlsXmz13-0001D, SUM -00008 Pretrle hills.doo
T
P(P-�VIOUS STAFF REPORT
Miller Orchard Neighborhood and as discussed in number 3 below would likely have less of
an adverse effect on the adjacent properties than a conventional development.
Traffic from this proposal will be no more and may actually be less than the amount of traffic
that would be generated from a conventional subdivision.
2. The development will not overburden existing streets and utilities.
The applicant is proposing a driveway access to Benton Street, an arterial street which
carries approximately 11,000 vehicles per day in this vicinity. A 2 -lane arterial street with
adequate access control has a capacity of 15,000 vehicles per day. Transportation
Planners estimate that this proposed development will generate approximately 200 vehicle
trips per day. This is a small percentage of the existing traffic on Benton Street and will not
overburden the street.
Area residents have expressed concerns about sight distance on Benton Street. The
proposed private drive access is discussed in the attached memo from Kent Ralston,
Transportation Planner (Exhibit C). As detailed in the memo the proposed access point
meets standards for sight stopping distance and there is not a high collision history in this
area. Therefore the proposed driveway location is found to be acceptable.
There are currently no sidewalks on the portion of Benton Street adjacent to the property
because of steep slopes and topological features. To address pedestrian access to the
development, an alternative trail is proposed through Benton Hill Park, connecting the
development with sidewalks continuing on Benton Street east of Miller Avenue.
As noted in the Southwest District Plan, pedestrian connectivity is a concern in this
neighborhood. When the Hawk Ridge (formerly the Lodge) student housing complex was
developed in 2003, there was a requirement for a pedestrian easement over the subject
property to provide for a potential trail connection to Benton Hill Park. The location of that
easement is in an area that is too steep for a trail connection. The applicant proposes to
relocate the easement to the south side of lot 1. The grading that will be done for this
project will provide for a better location for a future trail.
Municipal water and sanitary sewer services are adequate to serve the proposed
development.
Stormwater will be directed to a basin proposed in the southeast corner of Lot 1. A berm is
proposed along the south property line to prevent stormwater from flowing onto the
properties to the south. The City Engineer has reviewed the stormwater management plan
and has approved it in concept, although some construction details may need modification.
3. The development will not adversely affect views, light and air, property values and
privacy of neighboring properties any more than would a conventional development.
In staffs opinion the application meets this standard. The existing RS -8 zoning on this
property allows single family homes to be as tall as 35 feet. The applicant proposes to
construct cottage style duplexes that would generally be less than 20 feet tall. Although
some of the units will have walkout lower levels, even those will be 25 feet or less in
height. The common house is proposed to be approximately 30 feet tall. In addition to
being shorter than what the RS -8 zone allows, the buildings would be built downhill from
or at a lower elevation than the nearest homes. This combination of height and lower
PCD%Isff Rep0rtsV0Z13-00010, 4013-00003 pmine MUSA=
5 F"EVIOUS STAFF REPORT
grade will result in no more, or even a less adverse effect than conventional development.
4. The combination of land uses and building types and any variation from the underlying
zoning requirements or from City street standards will be in the public interest, in harmony
with the purposes of this Title, and with other building regulations of the City.
The applicant is proposing to cluster 32 units into attached dwellings rather than single
family houses, a private street which is 6 feet narrower than the minimum street standard
and modification of front setbacks for 3 units and the rear setback for 1 of the units. The
proposed clustering and private street would further the community based design desired
in co -housing by emphasizing pedestrian traffic on an internal sidewalk network. Primary
pedestrian access to the larger community would be via a trail that would extend through
Benton Hill Park. The applicant has agreed to install portions of the trail within the park
and to provide lighting to help assure pedestrian and bicycle safety. The applicant has
submitted templates showing that as designed the private street will be able to
accommodate fire trucks and other emergency vehicles.
In staffs opinion the proposed buildings are an attractive design and would be made of
quality building materials in an effort to support sustainable development. The proposed
co -housing community will be a unique form of housing that has had success in other
communities. Its construction in the Miller -Orchard Neighborhood would support the City's
efforts to provide a variety of housing types within the neighborhood and therefore be in
the public interest and in harmony with the zoning code.
Environmentally Sensitive Areas: The property contains steep and critical slopes and
woodland covering approximately 3.2 acres. The site slopes from a low point adjacent to Miller
Avenue to a high point in the western portion of the property. The applicant has provided a
soils study indicating that the property has been graded or filled to create the current condition.
The applicant proposes to grade the slopes (100% of the critical slopes and 94% of the steep
slope) to allow for creation of more gradual and stable slopes. Because of the amount of
grading proposed the Zoning Code requires level II sensitive areas review (Planning and Zoning
Commission Review and City Council approval).
A level If sensitive areas review is also required when more than 50% of a woodland is
proposed for removal. In this case the plan proposes that approximately 37.6% of the
woodland be removed. An additional 24.6% of the woodland is located within the 50 foot buffer
area and thus could be affected by construction activity and must be counted as being impacted
by the proposed development. Based on the amount of clearing, the sensitive areas regulations
require the planting of 127 replacement trees on this property or on public lands approved by
the City Forester. The City Forester has reviewed the woodlands on this property and found
that the areas that are proposed to be removed consist of undesirable species or species that
are susceptible to disease, including Ash and Walnut, and the woodlands have not been
properly maintained. The OPD plan includes a landscape plan showing the location of
proposed trees, however individual species are not identified. To assure appropriate species
are properly located, staff recommends that the final landscape plan be approved by the City
Forester.
As noted above a considerable amount of grading and woodland removal is proposed for this

property were satisfied with the approval of the Ruppert Hills final plat in 2003. That plat included
the dedication of Outlot A Rupport Hills, which later became the eastern portion of Benton Hill
Park.
The Parks and Recreation Commission has reviewed the proposed trade of land of the western
portion of Benton Hill Park for Outlot A. The Parks Department has determined that the
topography of Outlot A is more conducive to use as a neighborhood park and supports the trade.
Infrastructure fees: A water main extension fee of $415 per acre applies. There are no addtianal
infrastructure fees in this neighborhood.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of REZ13-00010 and SUB13-00008 a rezoning of 9.65 -acres located
at Miller Avenue and Benton Street from Medium Density Single -Family (RS -8) and
Neighborhood Public (P-1) zone to Planned Development Overlay/Medium Density Single -
Family (OPD -8) zone for 7.68 -acres and Neighborhood Public (P-1) zone for 1.97 -acres, and a
preliminary plat of Prairie Hill, a 2 -lot residential subdivision, subject to 1) the landscaping plan
to be reviewed and approved by the City Forester, 2) City Engineer approval of the stormwater
management plan and 3) the applicant installing the offsite improvements to the trail and

Miklo noted that the Commission should all be familiar with this property, it is located on the
west side of Miller Avenue on the south side of Benton Street. The surrounding properties for
the most part are zoned RS -8, and to the north is Benton Hill Park which is zoned Public and to
the south is zoned Community Commercial. Miklo explained that the planned development
overlay that was approved included a private drive/street to serve 33 cohousing units. The
proposal is to amend that plan to add one additional unit to the Common House (near the center
of the development) and add two units to what was originally a duplex by adding a second floor.
Miklo showed drawings of the previous proposal and then drawings of the new proposal. The
new proposal also includes some minor design changes to other aspects of the plan, for
example the townhouses will no longer be two stories, and they will be single floor units (but
basically the same footprint). The garages would be slightly larger (extended by two feet) and
there would be additional parking to accommodate the three additional units. In terms of density
Miklo noted that this does fall in the RS -8 density, it is just under five units per acre, which is
typical for RS -8 development.
Staff is recommending approval of the amendment to the plan to allow the three additional units
and design changes.
Freerks asked if there was room for street trees along Miller Avenue. Miklo stated that yes
there will be street trees along Miller Avenue.
Freerks opened the public hearing.
Del Holland , 1701 East Court Street, came forward representing the applicant to answer any
questions.
Freerks closed the public hearing
Hensch moved to approve REZ17-00007 an application submitted by Iowa City
Cohousing LLC for a rezoning of approximately 7.8 -acres to amend the preliminary OPD
Plan to add three additional units to Prairie Hill, a 36 -unit cohousing development located
west of Miller Avenue, south of Benton Street.
Parsons seconded the motion.
Hektoen noted that this property is currently subject to a Conditional Zoning Agreement and
those same conditions will remain in place. Miklo confirmed those would continue and not
change.
Freerks noted this is an exciting project that she is eager to see and the changes make sense
A vote was taken and the motion carried 6-0.

May 16, 2017
Resolution determining the necessity of and setting dates of a
consultation and Public Hearing on a proposed Riverside Drive
Urban Renewal Plan, Amendment No. 3 in the City of Iowa City,
Iowa
Prepared By: Wendy Ford, Economic Development Coordinator
Reviewed By: Simon Andrew, Assistant to the City Manager
Fiscal Impact: No impact
Recommendations: Staff: Approval
Commission: n/a
Attachments: 1) Resolution of Necessity
2) Riverside Drive Urban Renewal Plan, Amendment #3
Executive Summary:
A Resolution of Necessity initiates the legislative process for the City to engage in certain urban
renewal projects in urban renewal areas. Following the adoption of a Resolution of Necessity,
the City holds a consultation with the other local taxing jurisdictions and a public hearing before
a vote on whether or not to adopt the proposed plan.
Background / Analysis:
The Riverside Drive Urban Renewal Area was created in 2011 following the flood of 2008. It
was originally named Riverfront Crossings Urban Renewal Area, and renamed (Amendment #1)
in 2012 to clear up confusion with the greater Riverfront Crossings area across the river to the
east.
Amendment #3 of the Riverside Drive Urban Renewal Area a) enables the City to elect to use
tax increment financing created by new value in the district for four public improvement projects
aligned with plan goals, and b) adds the area known as the Orchard Subdistrict from the
Riverfront Crossings Master Plan to the Riverside Drive Urban Renewal Area.
The four projects include streetscape improvements on Riverside Drive, west riverbank
stabilization and trail project, building the Iowa River Trail from Benton to Sturgis Park, and the
intersection signalization of Myrtle and Riverside Drive. The streetscape improvements in the
Riverside Drive corridor will improve the attractiveness of the neighborhood and encourage
investment which will increase the property tax base of the district. The trail and signalization
projects will enhance walkability and safety for all who traverse the neighborhood.
Discussion of Solution:
The Resolution of Necessity simply starts the process for the consideration of projects to be
funded by the tax increment created by new property value in the district. The next step is to

The applicant, Jamie Powers, is seeking a rezoning from Low Density Single -Family Residential
with a Historic Preservation Overlay (RS-5/OHD) to Neighborhood Commercial with a Historic
Preservation Overlay (CN-1/OHD) for a 3,440 square foot property located at 812 South Summit
Street.
The property includes a two-story mixed-use building, with the bakery on the ground level and an
apartment on the second level. The building was originally constructed c.1900 as a front -gabled
American Vernacular house. According to Irving Weber, in the 1910's owner Harry Smith began
a grocery in the house and later added the "boomtown" storefront that was built beside the
2
house. Having been established as a retail business prior to the adoption of a zoning code by the
City in the mid -1920s, the property has continued to be used for commercial purposes on the
ground floor throughout its existence. Therefore, the retail use of the property is considered a legal
non -conforming use. As a non -conforming use it may continue as is, or be converted to another
use within the same use category, but cannot be expanded in size.
The applicant wishes to build a 7' x 15' addition on the north side of the building to allow the
relocation of the stairway to the second floor apartment, and to improve access for persons with
disabilities. The relocation of the stairway will also create more ground floor area for use by the
bakery. Such an expansion is not permitted for a non -conforming use. Therefore the applicant has
requested the property be rezoned to CNA to make the bakery a conforming use.
Because the property is located within a historic district, any changes to the exterior of the building
require approval of the Historic Preservation Commission.
The applicant has indicated that she has used the "Good Neighbor Policy" and will hold an
informational open house at the bakery on April 14.
ANALYSIS:
Current zoning: The Low Density Single -Family Residential Zone (RS -5) is primarily intended
to provide housing opportunities for individual households. The regulations are intended to
create, maintain, and promote livable neighborhoods. The regulations allow for some flexibility
of dwelling types to provide housing opportunities for a variety of household types. This zone
also allows for some nonresidential uses that contribute to the livability of residential
neighborhoods, such as parks, schools, religious institutions, and daycare facilities. Related
nonresidential uses and structures should be planned and designed to be compatible with the
character, scale, and pattern of the residential development. As noted the retail bakery is
considered a legal non -conforming use in the zone and may continue to operate but it may not
be expanded. Under the current zoning, if the building were to be destroyed, it could only be
replaced by a single-family house or another use permitted in the RS -5 zone.
The property is included in the Summit Street Historic District. Changes to the exterior of the
building require review and approval by the Historic Preservation Commission. The Historic
Overlay zone will still apply if the underlying zone is changed to CN -1.
Proposed zoning:
The purpose of the Neighborhood Commercial Zone (CN -1) is to promote a unified grouping of
small-scale retail sales and personal service uses in a neighborhood shopping area; encourage
neighborhood shopping areas that are conveniently located and that primarily serve nearby
residential neighborhoods; promote pedestrian -oriented development at an intensity level that is
compatible with surrounding residential areas; and promote principles of site design, building
articulation, scale and proportion that are typical of traditional main street design. Allowed uses
are restricted in size to promote smaller, neighborhood -serving businesses and to limit adverse
impacts on nearby residential areas. CNA Zones are generally located with direct access to an
arterial street. Uses allowed in the zone include retail sales, general and medical office,
personal service, eating and drinking establishments, hospitality, daycare, specialized
instruction. However, as noted below some of the uses normally allowed in the CNA zone will
not be allowed on this property, even if it is rezoned, due to the limited number of parking
spaces.
Parking: In addition to being a non -conforming use, the property is also non -conforming
regarding parking. The current uses require 4.69 spaces based on the 1 -bedroom apartment
and the amount of floor area for the retail bakery (1 space per 300 square feet of floor area).
There are two parking spaces provided to the rear of the building, which will not change with the
proposed modifications to the structure. The ability to satisfy the minimum parking requirement
does not change with the rezoning—there is simply not enough space on the property—and
thus the parking will remain non -conforming. If the use of the commercial property changes over
time, the parking will be grandfathered in with the 4.69 spaces. This control on parking will also
limit the types and intensity of businesses (for example: eating and drinking establishments
require 1 parking space per 150 square feet of floor area and therefore would not be allowed).
Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan encourages sustainable and walkable
neighborhoods and envisions neighborhood commercial uses as contributing to the quality of
life within neighborhoods. The Plan states:
Neighborhood commercial areas can provide a focal point and gathering place for a
neighborhood. The businesses within a neighborhood commercial center should
provide shopping opportunities within convenient walking distance for the residents
in the immediate area. The design of the neighborhood commercial center should
have a pedestrian orientation with the stores placed close to the street, but with
sufficient open space to allow for outdoor cafes and patios or landscaping. Parking
should be located to the rear and sides of stores with additional parking on the street.
Incorporating apartments above shops and reserving public open space are two
ways to foster additional activity and vitality in a neighborhood commercial area.
(IC2030: Comprehensive Plan Update page 21.)
In staff's view the current use conforms to the vision for Neighborhood Commercial described in
the Comprehensive Plan. In addition to serving as a retail bakery, the business provides a
gathering space for neighborhood residents. The property's physical design is similar to a small
main street shop, with the building being close to the street, it includes a small outdoor seating
area, and parking is at the back of the property, in conformance with site design standards in
the code.
The Central District Plan also acknowledges a number of properties originally developed with
buildings that served as neighborhood grocery stores and have remained, over time as non-
conforming commercial uses. These include the Design Ranch Building on Dodge Street, the
former Seaton's Meat Market, Watt's Grocery on Muscatine, and Deluxe Bakery on South
Summit Street. The former New Pioneer Co-op site (more recently Za-Za's on Bowery Street)
and the Akar Architects office on Rochester Avenue also continue to serve as commercial uses
within a residential zone. Some of these properties have been granted special exceptions or
historic preservation designations to ensure preservation the buildings themselves as well as
their opportunity to function as commercial uses. For this reason the current zoning code
includes a number of provisions to encourage the continued use of these unique properties
provided that their use does not disrupt or detract from the residential character of surrounding
neighborhoods.
The Economic Development chapter of the Comprehensive Plan encourages small local
businesses, such as Deluxe Bakery. Economic goals and strategies include:
• Establish strategies to retain and encourage growth of existing locally -owned
businesses.
• Recognize that small, and independently owned, local businesses are integral to
Iowa City's "brand" and sense of identity. (IC2030: Comprehensive Plan Update
page 30.)
4
Based on these policies and the current conditions evident at 812 S. Summit Street, staff finds
that rezoning of the property to CN -1 (with the historic district overlay zoning designation) would
be in conformance the Comprehensive Plan.
Compatibility with neighborhood: The bakery has operated in this location for approximately
15 years. Prior to that, the property contained other retail businesses, such as a grocery store,
art gallery, and a yarn and craft shop, all as grandfathered non -conforming uses. These uses
have proved to be compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhood. And as noted in
the Comprehensive Plan, such uses often enhance the quality of life in a neighborhood.
If the change to the CNA zone is approved, the property will be allowed to make the small
proposed expansion and improve access for persons with disabilities. The non -conforming
parking will limit the sorts of businesses that may locate here should the use change over time.
The historic preservation overlay zone will control the design of any exterior changes to the
building.
Given the small size of the lot and its proximity to adjacent single-family uses, staff recommends
two conditions to control certain aspects of allowed uses that may not be compatible with the
surrounding single-family residential neighborhood: restricting hours that the business is open to
the public to between 7:00 am and 9:00 pm, and no sales of alcohol or tobacco on the property.
These restrictions are, in the view of staff, appropriate in order to ensure the commercial use of
the property remains neighborhood serving and compatible with nearby residential properties
and to minimize activities that may be injurious to the use and enjoyment of residential uses in
the immediate vicinity. Similar restrictions were put in place for the property at 518 Bowery
Street (another commercial use within a residential zone) through the special exception
process. The applicant has been informed of these conditions and is agreeable to them.
Traffic implications: The property may continue to operate as a retail commercial use in the
RS -5 zone. Rezoning of the property to CNA will allow the commercial use to increase slightly
in size, but the intensity of use will be similar to the existing bakery and will not likely generate
additional traffic when compared to the current use. If the bakery closes, the other uses allowed
in the CNA zone are likely to generate similar levels of traffic. Although no specific data is
available, observations indicate that a significant number of customers walk or bike to this
location. Restricting night time hours of operation will help to assure that traffic from the
business uses on this property are not disruptive of the neighborhood in the future.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of REZ17-00006, a rezoning of property at 812 S. Summit Street from
Low Density Single Family Residential/Historic Preservation Overlay (RS-5/OHP) zone to
Neighborhood Commercial/Historic Preservation Overlay (CN-1/OHP) zone subject to a
Conditional Zoning Agreement restricting hours that the business is open to the public to
between 7:00 am and 9:00 pm, and prohibiting the sale of alcohol and tobacco.

CITY OF IOWA CITY
I am interested in changing the location of 812 S.Summit St. to a Commercial
Neighborhood use. This change will allow for a more efficient and safe work space
for the employees and guests. It will be safer for all involved by creating a more
streamlined workspace for bakers and creating a new entrance which flows with all
abilities.
After 15 years of operation, DeLuxe Bakery has proven that a commercial gathering
space, much like what was exemplified from 1979 and before, can enrich, solidify
and contribute to locking in as a neighborhood gathering place.
After reviewing various plans, changing this location to commercial will allow for
the best handicap access plans to move forward.
Thank you so much for your help
All the best,

Hensch asked if these amendments will have any effect on the Good Neighbor Policy. Freerks
said no, no Commission action is required for that Policy. Yapp confirmed that was the case,
but the Commission's comments will be reflected in the minutes which are read by City Council.
Freerks stated she feels this is a wonderful plan but has some pause with some of the little
details. "Seek accommodations" still resonates as a concern for her and feels it should be fair,
consistent and predictable for all (developers and the community). She would prefer to have
more detail written to draw out the expectations.
Signs asked what the next step will be. If there Commission were to want to specify some
things that should happen. Yapp stated that the exact shape, size and detail of a transition plan
will be codified in the site plan chapter. The Comprehensive Plan statement is meant to be
broad language. The Commission does have the ability to amend the language on the floor if
they so choose.
Theobald stated she does not have a problem with the proposed language, and sees the benefit
to both parties to having it vague in the Comprehensive Plan because each case is different.
Perhaps setting a minimum standard would work.
Freerks noted she just wanted the conversation to happen and have it as part of the minutes.
Hensch agreed, this is a good first step and if in the future this first step isn't enough then it can
be revisited to tighten the language up.
Theobald also agrees with Dyer's comments regarding small businesses and questions when
that conversation would be appropriate.
Signs agreed and said the Dubuque Street incident was a fiasco, and wondered if they could
include commercial properties in this language.
Hektoen said that would be beyond the scope of what Staff has addressed in their proposed
amendments this evening, so the Commission would want consider that at another time. She
also noted that site reviews differ in many contexts.
Parsons noted it is a fact of life that every structure has to get renovated or upgraded at some
point and every situation is so unique and he is okay with the more vague language as a first
step. It can be revisited and tightened up if problems do arise.
A vote was taken and the motion passed 6-0 (Martin absent).
REZONING ITEM (REZ17-00006):
Discussion of an application submitted by Deluxe Bakery / Jamie Powers for a rezoning from
Low Density Single Family Residential with Historic District Overlay (RS-5/OHD) zone to
Neighborhood Commercial with Historic District Overlay (CN-1/OHD) zone for approximately
3,440 square feet of property located 812 S. Summit Street.
Miklo stated the property is located on Summit Street in a residential neighborhood. The
building was likely built around 1900 and converted to a grocery store about 1910. The City first
adopted zoning in the 1920's and this property was zoned residential at that time, but because
Planning and Zoning Commission

Page 6 of 10
the business was already established it was grandfathered in as a legal non-conforming use
and allowed to continue. The property has continued to be used for commercial purposes in
some form of retail since that time, so it is perfectly legal to have a retail use in this location.
However the non-conforming provisions of the Ordinance do not allow an expansion of a non-
conforming use and therefore the business can continue as is but cannot make significant or
even minor changes in its footprint.
The applicant is requesting that the property be rezoned to Neighborhood Commercial (CN-1) in
order to allow an addition to the property. Miklo showed some photographs of the building and
surroundings. The proposal is to add a new stair-tower entranceway to provide access to the
apartment on the second floor. The remodeling of the interior stairway would create additional
space for the bakery. Miklo also stated that any changes to the exterior of this building will also
require approval from the Historic Preservation Commission.
Staff met with the applicant and determined that the only way to allow the expansion was to do
a rezoning. Based upon the policies of the Comprehensive Plan, Staff feels the Plan does
support rezoning to a Neighborhood Commercial. Miklo noted that prior to 2005 the
neighborhood commercial zones had to be a minimum of 3 acres in size but that size restriction
was taken off when the zoning code was rewritten recognizing that there were some historic
small commercial areas like this that proved to be beneficial to a residential neighborhood.
Miklo stated there is also very specific language in the Comprehensive Plan about
neighborhood commercial uses and how they can enhance a neighborhood, but there is also
some specific requirements in terms of design and parking placement to help assure that they
do not detract from the surrounding neighborhood. Staff feels this existing use and site
development does conform to those policies of the Comprehensive Plan. There are also some
other policies in the Plan regarding small local businesses that Staff feel support the rezoning.
Miklo noted there are some uses that could not occur in this location even if the rezoning is
approved because of the parking limitations on this property. There are two, maybe three,
parking spaces to the back of the property and that would not be sufficient for some uses (such
as restaurants or bars). Therefore that would keep more intense CN-1 uses from being allowed
on this property.
Staff is recommending approval of the rezoning with a couple of conditions placed on the
rezoning given its close proximity to residential. Those conditions would be restricting hours
that the business is open to the public to between 7:00 am and 9:00 pm, and prohibiting the sale
of alcohol and tobacco.
Hensch asked about the order of procedure, when the Historic Preservation Commission review
the application. Miklo stated that would happen before the building permit is issued. The
Historic Preservation Commission doesn't look at the zoning question, they just look at the
design of the building.
Freerks asked if there was an event that would keep the business open past 9:00 pm would that
then require a special exception permit. Miklo stated that since the condition states the hours of
the business is open to the public, any private event could surpass those hours.
Dyer asked what qualifies as a restaurant, there are chairs and tables at the bakery. Miklo
stated the business is considered a retail bakery which allows for the accessory use of serving
Planning and Zoning Commission
April 20, 2017 — Formal Meeting
Page 7 of 10
what is baked. It is not the primary use, the primary use is the sale of bake goods that are
removed from the premises.
Parsons asked if the driveway to the south of the building as considered a shared driveway or
an alley. Miklo confirmed that was a public alley.
Freerks disclosed that she frequents this bakery.
Dyer asked if there was a concept drawing for the remodel. Miklo said there has been a
drawing submitted to the Historic Preservation Commission. He apologized that a copy was nto
included in the agenda packet.
Freerks opened the public discussion.
Jamie Powers (812 South Summit Street) has owned Deluxe Bakery for 15 years and stressed
that the process that would seem to move a lot smoother if this property were commercial is for
her to provide a handicap lift at the south driveway/alley. They have investigated about doing a
ramp around the back and a ramp around the front but a lift would be preferable.
Miklo noted that there is an exception that could be used for non -conforming properties that
allows for providing a ramp for persons with disabilities, that is not considered an expansion.
Freerks asked if the conditions of the hours open to the public would be acceptable. Powers
stated it is fine. She said they have had a few private events when guests may have stayed
passed 9:00. She also noted that her business is closed Sundays and Mondays.
Dyer asked where on the building the addition would be built. Powers said it would be on the
north side of the building. It will be 7 feet to the north by 15 feet back and be used as a closed
stairway for the upstairs tenant.
Signs noted that he drives by the Bakery every day on his way to and from work and stated he
feels it is a very positive contribution to the neighborhood. The building fits into the character of
the neighborhood.
Powers showed the renderings of the plans for the addition. She added that she did follow the
Good Neighbor Policy and held a meeting plus distributed flyers to the neighbors.
Thomas Agran (512 North Van Buren Street) noted that he has a building in his family that is
also a historic grocery building and was surprised to find out if that building were to burn down it
would not be able to be rebuilt as a neighborhood retail establishment. Agran encourages the
City to contact all other owners of similar historic buildings (whether they are currently in use or
not) to advise them. Agran questioned the restriction on the sale of alcohol was just for this
particular property or for all commercial properties in the Neighborhood Commercial zone.
Miklo stated it was just for this property. Agran asked then if he wanted to take his building
(current business is Design Ranch) and wanted to turn it back into a neighborhood grocery store
that restriction wouldn't automatically be placed on his property. Miklo confirmed that would be
the case. Hektoen reiterated this is a specific condition attached to the Deluxe Bakery property.
Edward Agran (833 South Summit Street) moved two doors down from the Bakery two years
ago and noted that the area is a garden spot that everyone recognizes as a great area in Iowa
City. He added that the Bakery are very good neighbors.
Freerks closed the public discussion.

Page 8 of 10
Theobald moved to approve REZ17-00006 the rezoning from Low Density Single Family
Residential with Historic District Overlay (RS-5/OHD) zone to Neighborhood Commercial
with Historic District Overlay (CN-1/OHD) zone for approximately 3,440 square feet of
property located 812 S. Summit Street subject to a Conditional Zoning Agreement
restricting hours that the business is open to the public to between 7:00 am and 9:00 pm,
and prohibiting the sale of alcohol and tobacco.
Parsons seconded the motion.
Freerks noted that there was a change to the Code some years ago reducing the acreage
needed for this type of commercial to protect these types of small businesses that are integrated
into the community. Freerks believes this is confirmed by the Comprehensive Plan and
supports this rezoning.
Theobald stated she is in support of this rezoning, however it reminded her of a project in her
part of town where it was a rezoning away from neighborhood commercial and it is important to
remember function versus design in neighborhood commercial. Theobald stressed it is
important in all areas where there is a business next to residential to be sensitive to the
neighbors, and added she is pleased to see how well this project achieved that.
A vote was taken and the motion passed 6-0.
DEVELOPMENT ITEM (SUB16-00009/SUB16-00010):
Discussion of an application submitted by Robert & Roxanne Mitchell for a preliminary and final
plat of Westcott Second Addition, a 9.96 -acre, 4 -lot residential subdivision located 3055 Prairie
du Chien Road NE.
Miklo stated this property is located on the west side of Prairie du Chien Road and is within two
miles of Iowa City therefore within the fringe area of which both the County and the City review
subdivisions. The area is beyond what the City anticipates annexing, therefore the Fringe Area
Agreement provides a bit more flexibility in terms of the design of the subdivision and the
standards that apply. Basically the County's Rural Design Standards apply. Miklo showed
images of the site. The property will be divided into four single-family lots, one of which will
contain the existing farm house. 50% of the property in the middle is being set aside as open
space and stormwater management facilities as required by the Fringe Area Agreement.
Freerks asked if that area would be undisturbed then. Miklo said it will be disturbed for the
stormwater basin installation. Additionally per the County's Sensitive Area's Ordinance there is
a limitation to the number of trees they can remove before mitigation is required.
Miklo stated Staff has reviewed the subdivision and it does meet the requirements of the Fringe
Area Agreement, it includes stormwater management that is adequate and will not affect the
City's watershed to the south. The Fringe Area Agreement requires a fire rating and the Solon
Fire Department has submitted a letter indicating a low fire rating.
Staff recommends approval of both a preliminary and final plat.
Freerks opened the public hearing.
Thomas Agran (512 North Van Buren Street) stated he drives out Prairie du Chien frequently

Date: March 30. 2017
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: John Yapp /y -77'
Re: Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment: Mitigating impact of redevelopment on
existing tenants of multi -family buildings
Introduction
The City Council adopted an Affordable Housing Action Plan on June 21, 2016. One of the
specific actions called for in the Plan is to amend local ordinances to address the impacts of
tenant displacement associated with major site plans / redevelopment of existing multi -family
residential properties, designed to increase notice to and foster greater communication with
tenants. This grew, in part, out of discussions related to the redevelopment of Rose Oaks, and
the concern that tenants of Rose Oaks, with short notice in some cases, did not have their
leases renewed and were faced with the difficult challenge of finding alternative housing in a
short timeframe.
Background
The 2007 Iowa City Metro Area Affordable Housing Market Analysis found, among other
findings, that housing prices have outpaced income; that many cost -burdened households are
active members of the region's workforce whose salaries are not keeping pace with housing
costs; that the market is producing many more high-priced housing units than moderately priced
units; and that projected housing construction activity is not expected to address affordable
housing needs. This Market Analysis was updated in 2015. This update found that the majority
of housing stock growth was single-family housing, and that the proportion of renters in Iowa
City considered severely cost -burdened had increased. The update identified several public
policy strategies to address affordable housing including inclusionary zoning, preservation of
existing affordable housing, and fostering an environment of collaboration and cooperation.
City Steps 2016-2020 is a document that identifies local housing and community development
needs. It lists priorities including expansion of affordable housing opportunities, public facilities
improvements, and housing and housing -related services for homeless and those that at risk of
becoming homeless. Iowa Code Chapter 18B, Smart Planning Principles, includes a principle of
Efficiency, transparency, and consistency, stating that planning, zoning, development, and
resource management should be undertaken to provide efficient, transparent, and consistent
outcomes
Approval of a site plan is a process for assuring compliance with the City's codes and
regulations (e.g. zoning, utility design, etc.). Unlike a rezoning, the approving body does not
have the discretion to exercise its judgment on the best use of the property, but rather, reviews
the site plan with reference to existing codes. While the site plan review process can require
considerable review and amendment before approval given various code requirements, it is a
March 30, 2017
Page 2
ministerial process. If a site plan complies with all applicable City Code requirements and
standards, it must be approved - once a site plan is approved, a building permit may be issued.
Site plan submittal requirements and the level of detail differ depending on whether the plan is a
"major site plan" or a "minor site plan." A major site plan involves the construction or remodeling
of projects with over 12 residential units or over 10,000 square feet of non-residential floor area.
Notice must be posted on the property within 24 hours of receiving the application. The review
and approval process is administrative, performed by City Staff, unless a request is made for
the Planning and Zoning Commission to review the application. There is currently no process for
Council review and approval of site plans. The application submittal requirements are set forth
in City Code Section 18-2-2.
Discussion of Solutions
1. AMEND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Among the housing goals in the existing IC2030 Comprehensive Plan are:
• Identify and support infill development and redevelopment opportunities in areas where
services and infrastructure are already in place;
• Improve and maintain housing stock in established neighborhoods;
• Maintain and improve the safety of all housing;
• Encourage the improvement or redevelopment of substandard multi -family housing.
The IC2030 Comprehensive Plan does not currently have a goal that addresses mitigating the
impact of redevelopment for existing residents of a redeveloping property. Given the
importance of affordable housing, services for those at risk of becoming homeless and
increasing communication with existing residents, the Comprehensive Plan should be amended
to reinforce the importance of this goal.
Staff recommends the IC2030 Comprehensive Plan be amended to add a goal to the Housing
section (pages 27-28) stating:
Mitigate impact of large-scale residential redevelopment.
Mitigate the impact of redevelopment on occupants of proposed projects involving the
remodeling or reconstruction of existing multi -family residential dwellings by fostering
communication between property owners and occupants through sufficient notice
requirements, and encouraging the developer to create thoughtful transition plans that
seek to accommodate the relocation needs of current occupants.
Staff also recommends amending the Community Vision section of the Comprehensive Plan to
reinforce this goal, and amending the Background — Housing section of the Comprehensive
Plan to reference existing and future affordable housing plans and studies, including the 2015
Update of the Affordable Housing Market Analysis, CITY STEPS, and future affordable housing
studies.
March 30, 2017
Page 3
2. AMEND SITE PLAN REVIEW PROCESS
Staff is in the process of drafting code amendments to Title 18 of the Iowa City Code of
Ordinances to implement and codify requirements for resident notice, more transparency with
residents about the phasing of proposed construction, and the creation of transition plans for
residents during the construction process for major site plans (12 units or more). The Code will
specify the requirements of the transition plan and the plans would be reviewed and approved
by Council. While amendments to the Site Plan Review chapter do not require review by the
Planning and Zoning Commission (the Site Plan Review chapter is not part of the Zoning Code),
staff wanted to make the Commission aware of the amendments.
3. UPDATE GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY
The current Good Neighbor Policy recommends that developers hold a meeting with interested
members of the public (including property owners, residents, business, etc.) and makes
available staff resources (Neighborhood and Development Services staff) to encourage and
assist developers/applicants with setting up and attending the meetings. Locally, most
developers/applicants do hold Good Neighbor meetings for projects that are perceived to have
neighborhood impacts. While the Good Neighbor Policy currently recommends that such
meetings be held for any development activity, in practice the attention has focused on such
meetings for rezonings and subdivisions. Staff intends to amend the policy and change its
practice to clarify that good neighbor meetings are encouraged for major site plans, not just
rezoning and subdivision actions. A Good Neighbor meeting would help explain the proposed
project to affected residents, how it will impact them, and the details of the phasing/transition
plan.
No Planning and Zoning action is required to update the Good Neighbor Policy, but staff wanted
to make the Commission aware of the proposed changes.
P&Z RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends the IC2030 Comprehensive Plan be amended to:
1. Add a goal to the Housing section (pages 27-28) stating:
Mitigate impact of large-scale residential redevelopment.
Mitigate the impact of redevelopment on occupants of proposed projects involving the
remodeling or reconstruction of existing multi -family residential dwellings by fostering
communication between property owners and occupants through sufficient notice
requirements, and encouraging the developer to create thoughtful transition plans that
seek to accommodate the relocation needs of current occupants.
2. Add a goal to the Community Vision Statement (page 7) stating:
Fostering communication among owners, redevelopers and occupants to mitigate the
impact of redeveloping existing residential properties.
March 30, 2017
Page 4
3. Add a statement in the Background — Housing section (page 12):
The City has several affordable housing related documents including the 2015 Update to the
Affordable Housing Market Analysis and the CITY STEPS Consolidated Plan, which
document affordable housing issues and trends. These and future documents provide the
basis for affordable housing -related discussions, policies and legislation.

Community Vision Statement
Iowa City is an energetic and friendly community, renowned for its arts and culture, healthcare
and education, and distinctive local businesses. The small-town character of our neighborhoods
combined with the big -city vitality of our Downtown and university campus make Iowa City a
unique and appealing place for people of all ages. These assets define our sense of place and are
the foundation of our stable economy.
We will strive to preserve and build upon these aspects of our community while supporting compatible
growth and investment that contributes to the overall sustainability of Iowa City by:
• Fostering a resilient local economy that increases the tax base, stimulates job growth, and pro-
motes the overall prosperity and progress of our people;
• Protecting and enhancing the environment and encouraging the responsible use of our natural and
energy resources;
■ Providing safe and efficient modes of travel for all in order to ensure the opportunity for full partic-
ipation in community life and efficient use of resources;
■ Creating attractive and affordable housing for all people—housing that is the foundation of healthy,
safe, and diverse neighborhoods throughout our city;
• Promoting opportunities for civic engagement and human development for all who call Iowa City
home; and
■ Encouraging and supporting collaborative efforts with the University of Iowa, the Iowa City Com-
munity School District, Johnson County, and other neighboring jurisdictions for the mutual benefit
of all communities.
A shared community vision is the
foundation of the Comprehensive
Plan. This vision statement was
drawn from a number of public pro-
cesses, including the IC2030 work-
shops, the Good Ideas web survey,
recent district planning processes
(including the Southeast District
and Central District Plans), a series
of workshops for the Downtown
and Riverfront Crossings Master
Plan, and from community respons-
es to recent events, policy debates,
and development activities, espe-
cially those in the central and near
campus neighborhoods.

Housing
Vision:
Iowa City is a community of neighborhoods with safe, attractive, and affordable housing options to serve
residents throughout their lifetimes. To this end, the City of Iowa City will support policies that preserve
and enhance the character of existing neighborhoods while encouraging diverse and affordable housing
options in all neighborhoods—new and old.
Housing Goals and strategies:
Encourage a diversity of housing options in all neighborhoods.
■ Ensure a mix of housing types within each neighborhood, to provide options for households of all
types (singles, families, retirees, etc.) and people of all incomes.
■ Encourage development on smaller lots that conserve land and allow for more affordable single-
family housing options.
■ Strive to create a healthy balance of rental and owner -occupied housing in all neighborhoods.
■ Identify and support infill development and redevelopment opportunities in areas where services
and infrastructure are already in place.
■ Concentrate new development in areas contiguous to existing neighborhoods where it is most cost
effective to extend infrastructure and services.
■ Encourage projects that attract long-term residents to Downtown, Riverfront Crossings, and the
University Impact Zone.
■ Encourage publicly and privately developed dormitory -style housing for University students in ar-
eas close to the University campus, but away from single-family neighborhoods.
■ Ensure that dormitory -style housing for University students includes recreational and open space
amenities that provide for a safe and healthy student living environment.
• Promote housing design and features that allow people to age in place, such as universal design.
■ Encourage green building techniques and promote energy efficiency in all housing.
Neighborhoods should provide a variety of
housing options to serve people throughout
the various stages of life: single working
people, families, and seniors.
28
Improve and maintain housing stock in established neighborhoods.
• Continue to support and promote programs that fund or provide low-interest loans for housing
maintenance or rehabilitation such as the General Rehabilitation and Improvement Program
(GRIP), the Targeted Neighborhood Improvement Program (TARP), and the UniverCity Neighbor-
hood Partnership.
• Encourage the improvement or re -development of substandard multi -family housing.
■ Identify areas within established neighborhoods where infill development would be appropriate.
Maintain and improve the safety of all housing.
■ Enforce building and housing codes.
■ Review existing codes for consistency with the goal to provide safe housing, re-evaluating provi-
sions that have no apparent basis in safety.
• Update codes to accommodate the use of new technology and construction techniques.
■ Explore Home Energy Rating Standards for new construction and significant remodel/rehab-
ilitation projects.
Preserve the integrity of existing neighborhoods and the historic nature of older neighborhoods.
■ Develop neighborhood plans that help ensure a balance of housing types, especially in older parts
of the city.
■ Support the Historic Preservation Commission's efforts to meet its goals.
■ Support housing rehabilitation programs and re -invest in housing in existing neighborhoods.

the property owners, they go through the whole process and then at the end are met with public
outcry. Agran believes the signage should be bigger, include images of what is being proposed,
and information about what is being proposed. It should be accessible and easy for the public
to obtain. He brings this up to the Commission as a way to get the conversation started and ask
if it is a conversation that has come up in the past.
Hektoen noted that part of the Comprehensive Plan conversation on today's agenda talks about
the good neighbor policies.
.--> COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ITEM (CPA17-00001):
A public hearing for the discussion of an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to address
mitigating impact of redevelopment on existing tenants of multi -family buildings.
Yapp stated that the proposed amendments being discussed this evening grew out of the
affordable housing action plan that was adopted by the City Council. Specifically one of the
actions called for in the plan is to amend local ordinances to address the impact of tenant
displacement associated with major site plans. This grew out of discussions related to the
redevelopment of Rose Oaks, formally Lakeside Apartments, and the concern that tenants in
that complex, with very short notice, did not have their leases renewed and were faced with
having to find alternative housing in a short timeframe. Yapp noted that the Commission
frequently hears requests for rezoning and subdivisions, but approval of a site plan, in contrast,
is an administrative process conducted by staff. If the site plan meets all the City Codes and
Regulations Staff is obligated to approve it. In the case of redevelopment projects where there
are residents affected, the City currently has no mechanism to require greater transparency with
those residents about what the construction project is, what the time frame is, how it will be
phased, etc. So Staff is proposing to amend the site review process to codify requirements for
notification to residents, more transparency to residents about proposed construction, the
creation of a transition plan (for any major site plan, 12 units or more). The site plans will
include a transition plan and will be reviewed by the City Council. While site plans will not be
reviewed by the Commission, Yapp wanted to make the Commission aware of that change as
context for the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment provides the policy basis for the amendments
to the Site Plan chapter and any other future amendments that are associated. Staff is
recommending the Comprehensive Plan be amended to address this issue.
The first amendment is to add a goal to the housing section stating "mitigating the impact of
redevelopment on occupants of proposed projects involving the remodeling or reconstruction of
existing multi -family residential dwellings by fostering communication between property owners
and occupants through sufficient notice requirements, and encouraging the developer to create
thoughtful transition plans that seek to accommodate the relocation needs of current
occupants."
The second amendment is to add a goal to the Community Vision statement fostering
communication among owners, redevelopers, and occupants to mitigate the impact of
redeveloping existing residential properties.
The third amendment is to add a statement in the Background section to refer to many of the
existing affordable housing reports and studies the City has. Yapp noted those more detailed
Planning and Zoning Commission
April 20, 2017 — Formal Meeting
Page 3 of 10
studies and reports really investigate housing and housing issues, so it is appropriate to have a
reference to those in the Comprehensive Plan.
Yapp stated that regarding the Good Neighbor Policy, the current Good Neighbor Policy
recommends that developers hold a meeting with interested members of the public (including
property owners, residents, business, etc.). Those within 300 feet of any rezoning or
subdivision are notified of the Good Neighbor meeting, are given the opportunity to come to the
meeting, and discuss with the developer the proposed project. That process has not been
encouraged for site plans, so as an administrative change, the City will encourage or require
developers to have a Good Neighbor meeting with the residents of the project when it is a
project where residents will be displaced. No Planning and Zoning action is required to update
the Good Neighbor Policy, but staff wanted to make the Commission aware of the proposed
changes.
Hensch asked about the Good Neighbor Policy and noted that the language is "recommends" or
"encourages" so can a developer state they don't want to hold a meeting. Yapp confirmed that
is correct, but it would be noted in the staff report that the developer declined holding a Good
Neighbor meeting.
Freerks suggested that perhaps this is a time when Staff could pull out the Good Neighbor
meeting as required when a transition plan is needed. There needs to be communication
between the developer and the people that are affected and neighbors or the other
amendments cannot occur.
Signs asked if there has been any discussion of making the Good Neighbor meetings
mandatory in general. Freerks stated there was a reason the meetings were not made
mandatory but couldn't recall why. Miklo stated in 2005 when the City rewrote the Zoning Code
it was proposed to make the Good Neighbor meetings mandatory under certain circumstances.
The Homebuilders Association suggested that the meetings be encouraged rather than
mandatory and that is what Council approved. Yapp concurred and stated that for simple
projects it seemed unnecessary to require a meeting. Freerks agreed but feels for transition
projects, it should be mandatory. Yapp agreed.
Freeks questioned the statement of "Mitigate impact of large-scale residential redevelopment"
and then in the next paragraph is states "encouraging the developer to create thoughtful
transition plans that seek to accommodate the relocation needs of current occupants" and
wanted clarification on what that phrase means "to accommodate". Does it mean to require
payment? In the introduction it discusses increasing notice and fostering communication but it
is not stated that developers need to put money towards transitions.
Hensch agreed and feels it should not be the City's cost but rather the developer's costs if
relocation assistance is warranted. Yapp stated it was not the intent of the statement "to
accommodate" to imply payment of any sort.
Hektoen explained that this language is in the context of the Comprehensive Plan and then
there will be changes to the site plan review process. The Comprehensive Plan should be
written in a broader tone and allow for flexibility. It would not be good to have the language say
every transition plan must have XY&Z because every situation is different.
Freerks noted there is a lot of ambiguity in the language, and is not stating that is a bad thing,
Planning and Zoning Commission
April 20, 2017 — Formal Meeting
Page 4 of 10
however the public needs to know what "seek to accommodate the relocation needs" means. Is
it money, moving trucks, etc. Hektoen stated it could mean all of the above or something else.
There are certain programs that require by federal law relocation assistance funds. It will be
noted in the transition plans how the developer will be satisfying the obligations they have. In
the example of Rose Oaks, they did provide financial assistance to those residents. Freerks
asked if the transition plan would be discussed at a Council meeting and therefore allowing for
public input and Hektoen confirmed that would happen.
Dyer noted that something similar to this might be appropriate for small businesses. For
example the situation along South Dubuque Street where small businesses were made to
relocate due to redevelopment.
Parsons asked if will be on the developers to foster the communication. Yapp confirmed it
would fall on the developer but would be overseen by Staff.
Signs asked if Staff was typically present at community meetings. Yapp confirmed that Staff is
present.
Freerks opened the public hearing.
Charlie Eastham (953 Canton Street) voiced a couple comments, first being expanding the
Good Neighbor meeting as a requirement, a presence in the situation these amendments are
directed at. Those meetings help a lot for residents and developers to sit down and talk with
each other. Developers sometimes clear up confusion, sometimes it causes confusion, not
deliberately but in the way they present the information. In terms of accommodating relocation
needs, these amendments as he understands them gives the Council eventual authority, or
ability, to require financial assistance or to provide money from the City for financial assistance if
developers are not able to do so themselves. Eastham feels the question of whether or not
developers can be required to provide financial assistance for relocation in development that is
just under site plan development of the Code perhaps is still up for discussion. Eastham hopes
the Commission will act favorably upon these amendments.
Sally Scott (Johnson County Affordable Housing Coalition) said the Coalition Board did endorse
the recommendation of the Staff to amend the Comprehensive Plan in this way. She feels it is a
really valuable shift for the City to make, people are vulnerable when they are in these
developments, especially folks of lower incomes. Making the Good Neighbor meeting more of
the process, making sure people have proper notice, and making sure there is a transition plan
are excellent steps. Scott noted they did advocate during the creation of the Affordable
Housing Action Plan for developers to provide payments to folks below a certain income level.
That is not part of the amendment tonight, but should be discussed more in the future.
Signs noted that he is currently serving as the President of the Board of the Affordable Housing
Coalition and both the previous two speakers are very familiar to him. He has recused himself
from all conversations at that Board regarding this proposal and doesn't believe anything they
have said is going to impact his ability to make a fair decision this evening.
Freerks closed the public hearing.
Hensch moved for approval of the three amendments to the IC2030 Comprehensive Plan
to address mitigating impact of redevelopment on existing tenants of multi -family
buildings as written in the Staff report.
Theobald seconded the motion.
Planning and Zoning Commission

Hensch asked if these amendments will have any effect on the Good Neighbor Policy. Freerks
said no, no Commission action is required for that Policy. Yapp confirmed that was the case,
but the Commission's comments will be reflected in the minutes which are read by City Council.
Freerks stated she feels this is a wonderful plan but has some pause with some of the little
details. "Seek accommodations" still resonates as a concern for her and feels it should be fair,
consistent and predictable for all (developers and the community). She would prefer to have
more detail written to draw out the expectations.
Signs asked what the next step will be. If there Commission were to want to specify some
things that should happen. Yapp stated that the exact shape, size and detail of a transition plan
will be codified in the site plan chapter. The Comprehensive Plan statement is meant to be
broad language. The Commission does have the ability to amend the language on the floor if
they so choose.
Theobald stated she does not have a problem with the proposed language, and sees the benefit
to both parties to having it vague in the Comprehensive Plan because each case is different.
Perhaps setting a minimum standard would work.
Freerks noted she just wanted the conversation to happen and have it as part of the minutes.
Hensch agreed, this is a good first step and if in the future this first step isn't enough then it can
be revisited to tighten the language up.
Theobald also agrees with Dyer's comments regarding small businesses and questions when
that conversation would be appropriate.
Signs agreed and said the Dubuque Street incident was a fiasco, and wondered if they could
include commercial properties in this language.
Hektoen said that would be beyond the scope of what Staff has addressed in their proposed
amendments this evening, so the Commission would want consider that at another time. She
also noted that site reviews differ in many contexts.
Parsons noted it is a fact of life that every structure has to get renovated or upgraded at some
point and every situation is so unique and he is okay with the more vague language as a first
step. It can be revisited and tightened up if problems do arise.
A vote was taken and the motion passed 6-0 (Martin absent).

5 years. All other costs will be borne by the tenant, Bread Garden.
Recommendations: Staff. Approval
Commission: N/A
Attachments: Resolution, Ground Lease
Executive Summary:
This resolution considers a proposed ground lease to Bread Garden of Iowa City, L.C.
of 668.5 square feet of pedestrian mall space immediately to the north of their location.
The area is roughly the same area previously utilized as sidewalk caf6 space. This
proposed lease is for twenty years. The lease rate is $14.70 per square foot ($9,826.95
per year), and escalates with CPI every five years. It is a triple net lease, with Bread
Garden to pay for everything associated with the project. Bread Garden intends to build
a semi-permanent structure to allow patrons to dine there throughout the year during
periods of inclement weather.
Background / Analysis:
The popularity of open-air dining options continues to grow in Iowa City. Over the past
several years the City has expanded use of sidewalk cafes, planter cafes and street
cafes. The City has also received more inquiries and building permit applications for
open-air opportunities on rooftops and on ground level privately owned properties
(defined as outdoor service areas in the City Code). The rise in popularity of these
spaces has helped create a vibrant street atmosphere in downtown Iowa City, which is
increasingly appealing to a broader segment of our population and the visiting public.
Iowa City requires that sidewalk cafes be removed between December 1st and the end
of February. This is done to facilitate more efficient snow removal operations during the
winter. Businesses leasing these spaces pay an annual fee for the nine months that
they use the public space. Planter cafes do not impede snow removal operations and
thus can stay up through the winter season, although for all practical purposes they
close due to the weather.
r 1 CITY OF IOWA CITY
-r COUNCIL ACTION REPORT
The Bread Garden currently operates a sidewalk cafe on public property that transitions
seamlessly into their private four season dining area. Last year, the Bread Garden
inquired if the City would consider allowing them to extend their existing four season
dining structure over the area they have historically used as a sidewalk cafe. By doing
so the Bread Garden could offer a similar open air dining experience three extra months
per year as the seating would be covered and enclosed on four sides during the winter
months. Because of the significant upfront capital expense to build a new structure over
the seating area, the Bread Garden would require a twenty-year lease commitment and
also would be willing to pay a significantly higher lease rate compared to their existing
sidewalk cafe fee.
In considering this request, multiple factors need to be considered. First and most
importantly, one needs to consider whether the extension of a private structure over
public property would be a detriment or enhancement to the public's use of the
surrounding area. In this specific case, I believe the extension of the covered open-air
seating would enhance the public's enjoyment of the space without interfering with
anyone's use of the surrounding space.
• The space in question is the same area that the business has historically used
for their sidewalk cafe. Thus, the space is already exclusively utilized by the
business for nine months of the year. Staff has not received anything but positive
feedback on the Bread Garden's use of this space over the last several years.
• The extension of a structure over this area will not impede the pedestrian
movement or the critical viewshed into or out of the Ped Mall. This segment of
the Ped Mall is quite unique in that regardless of the existence of sidewalk cafes,
the vast majority of pedestrians naturally move through the central part of the
Mall between the line of trees and the Library/Children's Garden and playground.
When cafes are not operational, few people will routinely utilize the space
between the trees and the southern businesses (including Bread Garden) unless
they intend to access those businesses.
• The structure does not impose additional public safety risks or require a detour of
the Fire Department travel lane that currently exists in the Ped Mall.
• The structure will not detract from any nearby historic structures.
• The Bread Garden will assume responsibility for the upkeep of public property
that they occupy as .well the immediate remedy of any drainage or snow/ice
accumulation around the structure.
A second consideration is how the addition of a structure over this space will impact the
aesthetics of the Ped Mall. The City has design review authority over the structure. It is
critical that any structure not deaden or otherwise detract from the vibrancy of the street
level. Thus, the interconnection of the structure to the existing building is critical. If the
structure were to be viewed as more of an unplanned appendage to a building simply to

Mall.
broader appeal of the block. In this case the
the Bread Garden's existing four season
naturally flow and integrate well into the Ped
Lastly, one needs to consider what other types of requests the City may receive that are
similar in nature. The City is under no obligation to extend similar arrangements to other
businesses. If inquiries were received, one would need to give critical thought to
pedestrian traffic patterns, viewsheds, the public uses of the surrounding space, public
safety and other city operations including snow removal, visual impact on historic
properties, and the aesthetics of the corridor and how any proposed structure naturally
integrates into the building and the Ped Mall. In thinking about these criteria, it would be
difficult to imagine another scenario on the Ped Mall that works as well as the one being
proposed by the Bread Garden (the Ped Mall is technically not ROW and the only area
downtown where the City could grant a permanent interest such as this 20 year lease in
property dedicated to vehicular and pedestrian movement.)
The $14.70 per square foot initial lease rate was derived from an analysis of
comparable sales in the downtown area. In comparison, the City's sidewalk cafe fee is
$5.00 per square foot. Over the twenty-year lease period, the agreement is projected to
bring in over $200,000 in lease revenue to the City. While important, I do not believe the
revenue should be a determining factor as the impact on the public space is the most
critical decision point. The Bread Garden will assume all costs and liability for the
publicly -owned space that they will lease.
I believe the proposed agreement presents a great opportunity for the City and Bread
Garden to work together to bring more people to the downtown throughout all months of
the year and, at the same time, enhance the attractiveness of the surrounding space in
a manner that does not harm or inhibit one's use of the space.
