BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The applicant, Kum & Go, LC, has requested rezoning of three properties, located at 1010 S. First
Avenue, 1022 S. First Avenue, and 1025 Wade Street. 1010 S. First Avenue and 1022 S. First
Avenue are residential properties that Kum & Go has acquired or plans to acquire. Kum & Go also
owns 2303 Muscatine Avenue and plans to purchase 2315 Muscatine Avenue, both of which are
currently gas stations. 1025 Wade Street is the facility for Iowa City Hospice. The purpose of this
project is to redevelop the site at the corner of Muscatine Avenue and First Avenue as a Kum & Go
market and gas station. This redevelopment would consolidate the two existing gas stations. The
property at 1010 S. First Avenue would be added to the Kum & Go site to provide an area for
parking. A portion of 1025 Wade Street, which provides parking for Iowa City Hospice, would also
be added to the Kum & Go site. To replace this parking, 1022 S. First Avenue would be added to
the Iowa City Hospice site. The building for Iowa City Hospice would not be altered, but its parking
area would change. The existing dwellings at 1010 S. First Avenue and 1022 S. First Avenue would
be removed to construct the proposed redevelopment. To adjust the property lines accordingly, the
applicant must apply for a subdivision or a lot line adjustment. The applicant has submitted the
attached concept plan that shows how the area would be redeveloped
The applicant is requesting rezoning of 1010 S. First Avenue and the portion of 1025 Wade Street
that will be added to the redeveloped Kum & Go site to Community Commercial (CC -2) to match
the zoning of the existing gas stations. They are also requesting rezoning of 1022 S. First Avenue
to Commercial Office (CO -1) to match the zoning of the existing Iowa City Hospice site.
The subject property is located within the Towncrest Commercial Area. Towncrest was developed
in the 1960s as a suburban -style commercial area with a focus on medical offices. At the time of its
development, Towncrest was on the edge of Iowa City's urbanized area. Today, the area is well -
integrated into the city and is a fully developed, urban area surrounded by a diverse walkable
neighborhood. In recent years, efforts have been made to improve this area. Towncrest is an Urban
Renewal Area and a Design Review District. In 2010, a Design Plan Manual was created for
Towncrest to provide details on streetscape design, architectural character, open space, and
signage and wayfinding to provide guidance on redevelopment in this area (the plan may be viewed
at: https://www.icgov.org/towncrest)
While the applicant is not required to follow the Good Neighbor Policy, they have scheduled a
meeting for January 3, 2018 (Good Neighbor Meetings are generally held at least 7 days before the
scheduled Planning and Zoning Commission meeting).
ANALYSIS:
Current zoning: 1010 S. First Avenue and 1022 S. First Avenue are both currently zoned Low
Density Single -Family Residential (RS -5). This zone is primarily intended to provide housing for
individual households. Although this zone allows for some nonresidential uses that contribute to the
livability of residential neighborhoods, providing parking for a commercial establishment would not
be permitted.
1025 Wade Street is currently zoned Commercial Office (CO -1). This zone is intended for office
functions, compatible businesses, apartment buildings, and some public/semi-public uses. The CO -
1 zone can also serve as a buffer between residential and more intensive commercial or industrial
areas.
Proposed zoning: The applicant has proposed two zones, Community Commercial (CC -2) for the
redeveloped Kum & Go site and Commercial Office (CO -1) for the modified Iowa City Hospice site.
The existing gas stations and Iowa City Hospice sites are already zoned accordingly; the rezoning
would apply to the properties at 1010 S. First Avenue, 1022 S. First Avenue, and the portion of 1025
Wade Street that would be transferred to the Kum & Go site
The Community Commercial (CC -2) zone is intended to provide districts for major businesses that
serve a significant segment of the total community population. This is the proposed zoning for the
redeveloped Kum & Go site, and the current zoning for the existing gas stations on Muscatine
Avenue and First Avenue. This zone is meant for businesses that generate significant traffic and
require access from major thoroughfares. Uses in this zone can also include limited outdoor
activities, provided that outdoor operations are screened or buffered to remain compatible with
surrounding uses.
Because the subject area is in the Towncrest Design Review District, some of the development
standards are different than the general standards for the CC -2 zone. In the Towncrest Design
Review District, Quick Vehicle Servicing Uses require a special exception granted by the Board of
Adjustments. The redevelopment of this site will be subject to the approval of this special exception.
Additionally, when permitted, Quick Vehicle Servicing Uses in the Towncrest Design Review District
must be designed according to the site development standards for the Central Business Support
(CB -5) zone, which includes standards that ensure high quality design and a pedestrian focus. One
notable requirement in the CB -5 zone is that all street -facing facades must have a minimum of 50%
of the fagade composed of transparent windows and doors. This will be required on both the
Muscatine Avenue and First Avenue frontages of the redeveloped Kum & Go Market. The Design
Review process will further ensure that the building meets the guidelines for the Towncrest Design
Review District.
The Commercial Office (CO -1) zone is the proposed zoning for the modified Iowa City Hospice site
and the zoning of the current Iowa City Hospice site. This zone, as noted above, is intended for
office functions, compatible businesses, apartments, and some public/semi-public uses.
Comprehensive Plan: The Southeast District Plan supports redevelopment in the Towncrest
Commercial Area that helps turn the area into a more walkable mixed use center. One of the
goals for this area is to improve traffic flow by limiting the number of access points along
Muscatine Avenue. The redevelopment of the two gas stations supports this goal by reducing the
number of curb cuts onto Muscatine Avenue from 2 to 1. Overall, the redevelopment will reduce
the number of curb cuts from S to 5. This redevelopment will also improve the pedestrian
environment by moving sidewalks further from the road and providing landscaped buffers with
street trees.
Another goal of the Southeast District Plan regarding the Towncrest Commercial Area is to
"encourage reinvestment and redevelopment." The adopted Urban Renewal Plan provides
redevelopment standards that work towards making Towncrest a walkable, mixed-use urban
neighborhood. The comprehensive plan supports redevelopment and reinvestment in this area to
create aesthetic improvements and move towards the urban form outlined in the Design Plan.
The proposed redevelopment of the site would be subject to design review based on the
standards in the Towncrest Urban Renewal Area Design Plan to ensure the redevelopment
contributes to the intended character of the area.
Compatibility with neighborhood: Because the type of uses along Muscatine Avenue will not
change with this rezoning, the redeveloped site will be generally compatible with the surrounding
commercial area.
On the existing site, the gas station abuts the residential property at 1010 S. First Avenue. With
redevelopment, this lot and the lot directly to the south will be redeveloped as parking, which will
move the transition from commercial to residential to the property at 1026 S. First Avenue. With
redevelopment, there is the opportunity to provide a landscaped buffer to protect the residential
properties from light and noise from the commercial and parking uses. The applicant has
submitted a landscaping plan that shows S3 screening (a mix of evergreen and deciduous shrubs
at least Tin height when planted and at least 6' at maturity) between parking and residential uses.
The rest of the site is shown with S2 screening, which uses masonry walls and shrubs to create
a low-level screen with some visibility.
Traffic implications: By consolidating the two gas stations, the proposed redevelopment reduces
the number of curb cuts on Muscatine Avenue from 2 to 1, as shown in the site plan. As mentioned
above, reducing the number of curb cuts on Muscatine Avenue is an objective of the
comprehensive plan that supports the goal of improving traffic flow in the Towncrest Commercial
Area. The redevelopment of these properties will also reduce the number of curb cuts on First
Avenue by closing the driveways that lead to 1010 S. First Avenue and 1022 S. First Avenue. A
single access point will remain on First Avenue that connects to parking on the redeveloped Kum
& Go site. Access points on Wade Street will remain largely the same; the concept plan shows
one access point to the redeveloped Kum & Go site and one entrance and one exit for Iowa City
Hospice. The access drive onto the Iowa City Hospice site is a one-way drive that leads to parking
along the side of the existing building and the additional parking on 1022 S. First Avenue. Vehicles
would then exit the site onto Wade Street through a one-way drive adjacent to Kum & Go's access
point. Because of differences in elevation between the Kum & Go site and the Iowa City Hospice
site, these drives cannot be combined.
Another goal for the Towncrest Commercial Area is to make the area more pedestrian -friendly.
Currently, the sidewalk along the east side of First Avenue directly abuts the road with no buffer,
which creates a safety risk for pedestrians. The concept plan indicates that the sidewalk along
First Avenue will be relocated to provide a 6' landscaped buffer between the road and the
sidewalk. This will contribute to a safer, more pedestrian friendly environment. The applicant has
also submitted a landscaping plan that shows street trees along First Avenue, Muscatine Avenue,
and Wade Street.
SUMMARY: The proposed redevelopment will contribute to producing the desired character for
the Towncrest Urban Renewal Area. This project will consolidate two existing gas stations, reduce
the number of curb cuts on Muscatine Avenue and First Avenue, and redevelop the site in
conformance with the Towncrest Urban Renewal Area Design Plan. Landscaping will provide a
buffer between the Kum & Go gas station and the adjacent residential uses. Additionally, to
ensure this redevelopment contributes to the pedestrian -friendly environment of the Towncrest
Urban Renewal Area, it is important that all sidewalk connections and curb cuts are appropriate.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends deferral of this application pending resolution of
deficiencies noted below. Upon resolution of these items, staff would recommend approval of the
proposal to rezone property located at 1010 S. First Avenue from Low Density Single Family (RS -
5) zone to Community Commercial (CC -2) zone, 1022 S. First Avenue from Low Density Single
Family (RS -5) zone to Commercial Office (CO -1) zone, and a portion of 1025 Wade Street from
Commercial Office (CO -1) zone to Community Commercial (CC -2) zone, subject to general
conformance with the concept plan (including the revisions noted below).
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
1. The site plan shows a parking aisle that is 30 feet wide, while code allows a maximum of 24
foot parking aisles.
2. A minimum of 5 feet of landscaping must be provided on both sides of the property lines
between parking areas. A minor modification may be granted due to change in grade on the
east side of the property, but this landscaping must be provided between the parking lots
for Kum & Go and Iowa City Hospice.
3. Sidewalk connections should be provided on the First Avenue side of the building and the
sidewalk on the east side of the building should be extended to connect to Muscatine
Avenue.
4. Curb cuts do not meet the standards for width and location. The City Engineer is currently
reviewing the plan and will consider allowing modification or may request changes to the
curb cuts.

REZONING ITEM (REZ17-00019):
Discussion of an application submitted by Kum & Go, LC, for a rezoning of 1010 1 st Avenue
from Low Density Single Family Residential (RS -5) to Community Commercial (CC -2), and1022
1 st Avenue from (RS -5) to Commercial Office (CO -1) and a portion of 1025 Wade Street from
(CO -1) to (CC -2).
Bochner began the staff report by showing the location of the property and noted that staff
received updated plans after the packet went out to the Commission so there are some changes
and an updated site plan and landscaping plan have been given to the Commission.
Additionally there was a Good Neighbor meeting held on January 3 and a summary of that
meeting was distributed to the Commission.
The application is to rezone these properties as part of a larger redevelopment of the site.
Currently at 2303 Muscatine Avenue there is a Kum & Go and right next to it at 2315 Muscatine
Avenue there is another gas station. Kum & Go is in the process of purchasing that gas station
and would like to consolidate the sites and redevelop a new Kum & Go Market. To accomplish
this they would use the area at 1010 11t Avenue for parking as well as the 1025 Wade Street
area. That area is currently the parking for Iowa City Hospice and to obtain 1025 Wade Street
for parking for Kum & Go they will be trading it for the area at 1022 1st Avenue.
This area is located in the Towncrest Commercial Area which is part of an Urban Renewal Area
and a Design Review District. Because this area is in a Design Review overlay zone the
standards for redevelopment are different than they would typically be in a Community
Commercial (CC -2) zone, most importantly it means the quick vehicle servicing use requires a
special exemption from the Board of Adjustment so the applicant will have to go through that
process if this rezoning is granted in order to redevelop the site. When quick vehicle services
uses are permitted in this design review zone they must be developed according to the site
development standards of the Central Business Support Zone (CB -5) which means different
standards to account for walkability and better design. One of the notable differences is that the
facades have to be at least 50% glass. Bochner noted that the site plans and renderings
currently available don't meet all of the standards for this district but the design review process
and special exception process will make sure all those standards are met before
redevelopment.
Bochner showed the renderings of the redevelopment that have been submitted and how the
building, gas pumps and parking would be laid out. She added that this redevelopment will
contribute to several goals from the Comprehensive Plan. The Southeast District Plan sees this
area as becoming a more walkable, mixed-use center. This development contributes to that
goal by adding walkability, they added a landscape buffer between 1st Avenue and the sidewalk
(currently the sidewalk adjacent to the street). This redevelopment will also reduce the number
of curb cuts, there are currently two curb cuts on Muscatine Avenue for the gas stations and that
would be reduced to one, it also reduces curb cuts along 15' Avenue.
In terms of compatibility with the neighborhood, the type of uses are not changing here,
currently there are two gas stations which will be consolidated into one and the use for the Iowa
City Hospice will remain the same. In terms of compatibility with residential areas of the
neighborhood the applicant has shown in their landscaping plan they will put a S3 buffer
between the residential property to the south and also along the west side because there is
residential properties across the street, S2 buffers will be everywhere else on the site.
Planning and Zoning Commission
January 4, 2018 — Formal Meeting
Page 4 of 10
Bochner noted that staff received updates to the address all the deficiencies that were
discussed in the staff report, therefore staff is recommending approval of REZ17-00019 subject
to general conformance to the site plan.
Hensch asked to be shown on the map exactly where the curb cuts will be on Muscatine
Avenue and 15' Avenue.
Freerks asked if the access point to the Kum & Go lines up to alley or driveway of the houses.
Miklo replied that it is the alley and the property will be screened with landscaping from the
houses. Freerks noted her concern of headlights leading into house windows.
Hensch asked about the lightening for the entrance and parking areas. Miklo stated that
downcast lighting is required city-wide. Where a commercial development is within so many feet
of a residential area there is also a limit of the height of the light poles, 25 feet, and there are
standards where light cannot trespass across the property line. This development will have to
comply with those requirements at the time of site plan approval.
Miklo noted that one of the complaints they often hear with gas stations is the canopy lighting,
one benefit of this design is the canopy will be as far from the residential as possible and will be
oriented more toward the commercial part of Towncrest.
Freerks asked about the parking for Hospice, the current parking has better access to the front
door whereas the new parking will be behind the building, is there back door access into the
Hospice building. Miklo and Bochner both stated they are not familiar with the Hospice building.
Signs asked what the plant materials are for what appears to be a retaining wall along the
southern border of the Kum & Go property. Bochner said this is noted on the landscaping plan,
typically a five-foot landscaping buffer is required between different parking areas.
Freerks asked about the curb cut width. Miklo noted this development will require some
variation form the City Standards and will need to be approved by the City Engineer and will be
done during the special exception process. The standard is on an arterial street intersection the
curb cut has to be at least 150 feet from that intersection and has to also be 50 feet from
another street and in this area cannot meet both those requirements. In this situation the new
curb cut will still be more preferable than the current two curb cuts.
Freerks noted that in the revitalization plan for this area it discusses the area being pedestrian
friendly the Kum & Go design is to have a whole wall of glass that has no entrance for
pedestrians (as seen at the Benton Street Kum & Go) and perhaps there could be an entrance
on that wall.
Miklo noted that the design plan has not yet been reviewed against the Towncrest Design
Review Standards so there may be design changes once that is completed.
Freerks opened the public hearing.
Siobhan Harman (Kum & Go) noted that with regards to the buffer between the residential and
the parking lot for Hospice, it will be an eight foot fence with landscaping. The parking will face
south but the buffer will keep lights away from the houses. With the area between Kum & Go
and Hospice there is a significant grade change and there will be landscaping and she shared
an elevation drawing with the Commission. Harman also stated they will lower the canopy
Planning and Zoning Commission
January 4, 2018 —Formal Meeting
Page 5 of 10
height and are looking at other areas in town where HyVee and Casey's have done so
successfully and will match those heights. It appears it will be about two feet lower than their
standard canopy.
Hensch asked if the objective is to have the canopy the same height as the building structure so
there isn't light going over the building into the residential area. Harman said it may not be the
same height as the store, but it will be lowered a bit so there won't be light spillage. The good
thing about this plan is the back of the building faces the residential and the auto usage areas
face into the commercial area. Harman also noted they use LED lighting both in the store and
outside the store for energy efficiency, and the foot candles are down to zero at the lot line.
Parsons asked if it is assumed the overall lighting will be less with this new development than
what the two gas stations are emitting right now. Harman cannot comment on that, but noted
they did take the square footage of all the buildings that are out there and currently between the
BP and Kum & Go there are 5830 square feet and the new Kum & Go building will be just under
5900 so it is a minimal change there. Harman added they will be adding additional green space
with the removal of the two houses.
Hensch stated that with regards to greenspace there has been some issues in the past with
developments following up on landscaping and stated that his hope is this development will not
follow suit. The Kum & Go on Benton Street looked as if the landscaping was struggling for a
while but seemed to improve towards the end of summer and fall. Dyer added that the
landscaping at the Benton Street location is very minimal.
Harman noted that with the exterior of their building they understand if it doesn't look good on
the outside what will make someone want to come inside, so they take pride in the exterior of
their properties. They build all their stores to LEED specifications and one of the specifications
is to use native plantings which they do at all their locations. The one place they break the
LEED standard is where they install irrigation because it is very difficult in Iowa to get grass and
landscaping materials to grow without the water. They will replace any dead items or grass as
needed as well.
Hensch noted this development is an improvement over what is currently at the location but just
wanted to reinforce the desire to see the correct landscaping.
Freerks asked Harman to talk a bit about the building, noting it has to meet the standards which
are a little higher in this area, and if there is any opportunity to bring people in off 15' Avenue.
Harman noted it is very difficult because that one wall is completely "back of house" which is
restrooms and kitchen area and those have to be enclosed and not seen by the public. There
will be a side door on the Muscatine Avenue side. They do have to be careful regarding
entrances however due to theft and that is why they only do two entrances on a building.
Dyer asked if the 15' Avenue side of the building would be similar to Benton Street where there
is a wall of glass that shows a hallway and a mural. Harman confirmed that was correct, and
noted that area is not meant for storage. Signs noted that is what has happened at the Benton
Street location, that hallway is full of storage items, including what appears to be CO2 tanks.
He added that he knows the design standards require glass but perhaps the mural could be on
the glass and cover up that back space. Freerks stated that would be against the sign
standards. Miklo suggested another solution of using frosted glass towards the bottom which
would hide storage. Harman noted she would address the storage issues at the Benton Street
location with that store manager.

Page 6 of 10
Signs noted his concern with the southern border of the Kum & Go parking lot with the extensive
retaining wall and feels it may be an ominous wall. Harman said the wall will be gradual so it
will not look like a large wall from all angles and there will be plantings and landscaping on it as
well.
Freerks asked if Harman knew if there was a Hospice door to the west and Harman
acknowledged there was and Hospice has stated their needs are met.
Miklo suggested adding some trees to help shield the canopy glow from the houses to the
south. Harman said that should be discussed with Hospice because when they have used over
story trees over parking there are complaints from customers that those trees can weep down
onto the cars. She feels there can be some solutions. Miklo agreed but noted it would depend
on the species of tree, and if the trees are on the driveway side it shouldn't affect the parking.
Freerks agreed the addition of trees should be stressed.
Harman addressed this area being pedestrian friendly and as part of their LEED criteria they are
required to install a bike rack. Typically they install one bike rack, the City has asked them to
install a second bike rack which they have agreed to do. They will also have plaques around
the building and on the canopy explaining what the LEED requirements are and how Kum & Go
met them.
Curt Moore (3169 Dubuque Street) noted that he feels this will be a definite improvement to
Iowa City and that area. He agrees with looking for options on the glass wall that will face 1st
Avenue as he drives by Benton Street all the time and sees the storage.
Mike Welch (HBK Engineering) remarked about the curb cuts and locations and noted that Kum
& Go puts a wider radius on their curb cuts because of the fuel trucks.
Freerks closed the public hearing.
Signs moved to approve the rezoning of 1010 1st Avenue from Low Density Single
Family Residential (RS -5) to Community Commercial (CC -2), and 1022 1st Avenue from
(RS -5) to Commercial Office (CO -1) and a portion of 1025 Wade Street from (CO -1) to (CC -
2).
Parsons seconded the motion
Hensch asked about the list of discrepancies listed in the staff report. Miklo said those have all
been resolved or will be with the special exception. Hensch asked if they need to add an
amendment to the motion regarding the addition of trees and shrubbery along the south border.
Miklo said it can be added as a conditional zoning agreement.
Hensch moved to amend the motion to include the requirement of additional trees and
shrubbery along the southern border particularly along the area where the Hospice
parking lot will be.
Dyer seconded the amendment.
Signs noted that this development is a significant improvement in the space, but wanted to
reemphasize the need for landscaping needs to be completed as to the intention of the
proposal.

Hensch stated his appreciation with Kum & Go working with Hospice and that this design
actually improves the parking situation for Hospice.
Freerks agreed noting the details that have gone into this proposal are thoughtful,
Signs stated he was concerned at first about the parking lot for Hospice jetting over to the
residential part of 11 Avenue but feels the applicant did a nice job trying to screen that as nice
as they can.
Dyer added that most of the parking in that area will happen during the day so headlights

Parsons stated he likes the layout and thinks it will be an efficient use of space, much better
than what is there now.
A vote was taken and the motion with amendment carried 5-0.
ANNEXATION & REZONING ITEM (ANN17-00001/REZ17-00020):
Discussion of an application submitted by IC Housing Group, LLC, for annexation and a
rezoning of approximately 7.9 acres from County Commercial (C) and County Multifamily
Residential (RMF) to Interim Development Multifamily (ID -RM) for approximately 5.27 acres and
Interim Development Single Family for approximately 2.76 acres located at 4643 Herbert
Hoover Highway SE.
Miklo noted that the property is on the south side of Herbert Hoover Highway, just east of the
Iowa City Care Center and Old Towne commercial area, and west of the latest addition of
Churchill Meadows. Miklo showed aerials of the current zoning and the proposed zoning. The
Comprehensive Plan for the area is the Northeast District Plan, the Plan shows the Care Center
and shows this area as green space around the Care Center, but that is not going to happen.
The Plan does show single family as it moves to the east.
The staff report shares the details about the annexation policy, this application meets the policy
as it is clearly in the Iowa City growth area, it is an area they would rather see develop in the
City and not the County. Miklo noted there are some infrastructure needs that haven't been
resolved such as how sewer and water will be provided but the interim zoning address that until
those issues are resolved.
Staff recommends approval of ANN17-00001 and REZ17-00020, annexation of approximately
7.90 acres and a rezoning from County Commercial (C) and County Multifamily Residential
(RMF) to Interim Development Multifamily (ID -RM) for approximately 5.27 acres and Interim
Development Single Family (ID -RS) for approximately 2.76 acres located at 4643 Herbert
Hoover Highway SE.
Freerks asked if in the ID -RS area how many houses could go in an area like that. Miklo replied
that in the RS -5 zone they typically see about three units per acre, if it is a planned development
it might be up to five houses per acre, so there could be a total of five to ten houses here.
Parsons asked about utilities and the sidewalk along Herbert Hoover Highway extending down
to Churchill Estates. Miklo said that sidewalk is now in place.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The applicant, IC Housing Group, LLC, with the consent of the owners, Lyle Mark and Betsy
Larson, is requesting annexation and rezoning of 7.90 acres of property located at 4643 Herbert
Hoover Highway SE. The applicant has requested that the property be rezoned from County
Commercial (C) and County Multi -Family Residential (RMF) to Interim Development Multifamily
(ID -RM) for approximately 5.27 acres and Interim Development Single Family (ID -RS) for
approximately 2.76 acres (see attachment label A-6)
This area is located adjacent to Iowa City's current boundary and within Fringe Area B of Johnson
County's Fringe Area Agreement with Iowa City. The comprehensive plan shows this area within
the City's growth boundary with a future land use of residential at a density of 2-8 dwelling units
per acre.
The applicant has used the "Good Neighbor Policy' and held a meeting on December 19, 2017.
At that meeting a concept plan was presented showing multifamily residential on the northern part
of the property and single family on the southern portion.
ANALYSIS:
Annexation: The Comprehensive Plan has established a growth policy to guide decisions
regarding annexations. The annexation policy states that annexations are to occur primarily
through voluntary petitions filed by the property owners. Further, voluntary annexation requests
are to be reviewed under the following three criteria. The Comprehensive Plan states that
voluntary annexation requests should be viewed positively when the following conditions exist.
1. The area under consideration falls within the adopted long-range planning boundary.
A general growth area limit is illustrated in the Comprehensive Plan and on the City's
Zoning Map. The subject property is located within the City's long-range growth boundary.
The boundary is located about 1.5 miles east of the subject property.
2. Development in the area proposed for annexation will fulfill an identified need without
imposing an undue burden on the City. Iowa City has a need for expanded housing
options to accommodate a growing population. At the time of the development of the
Northeast District Plan, the area east of Scott Road and south of Herbert Hoover Highway
was largely agricultural and undeveloped. However, the plan indicated that a variety of
types of residential uses would be appropriate for the subject area. One of the goals for
this area is to encourage a reasonable level of housing diversity, including single family
homes, duplexes, townhouses, and small apartment buildings.
The Comprehensive Plan encourages growth that is contiguous and connected to existing
neighborhoods to reduce the costs of providing infrastructure and City services. The
western border of the subject property is adjacent to the eastern border of Iowa City, near
the Olde Towne Village commercial area. Therefore the subject property is contiguous to
current development and meets the goal of contiguous growth.
3. Control of the development is in the City's best interest. The property is within the Long -
Range Planning Boundary. It is appropriate that the proposed property be located within
the city so that residents of future development may be served by Fire, Police, water, and
sanitary sewer service. Annexation will allow the City to provide these services and assure
PCMStaH Reponslstatl report ann V-00001.doc
that the infrastructure meets City standards. Annexation will allow the City to control
zoning so that it is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan.
For the reasons stated above, staff finds that the proposed annexation complies with the
annexation policy.
Zoning: The western portion of the subject property is currently zoned County Commercial (C),
while the eastern portion of the lot is zoned County Multifamily Residential (RMF). The County
Commercial zone allows for the development of a wide variety of retail uses, businesses,
government and professional offices, and places of amusement. The County Multifamily
Residential zone allows the construction of multifamily housing with a minimum lot area of 1,000
square feet per unit with a maximum height of 3 stories. Single family dwellings and two-family
dwellings are also permitted in this zone. However, because of the subject area's location in Iowa
City's Fringe Area within the growth boundary, all development in this area must be constructed to
City standards and it is unlikely that development would occur prior to annexation.
The applicant is requesting rezoning of the subject property to Interim Development Multifamily
Residential (ID -RM) for approximately the northern 5.27 acres, and Interim Development Single
Family Residential (ID -RS) for approximately the southern 2.76 acres. The purpose of the Interim
Development zone is to provide areas of managed growth in which agricultural and non -urban
land uses can continue until the City is able to provide services to support development. Under
this zoning, the only use that is permitted by right is agriculture. The applicant is currently
investigating options for providing utilities to this area. Because utilities are still undetermined,
interim zoning is appropriate for this property.
Sanitary Sewer and Water: As noted, the applicant is investigating options to provide water
and sewer service to this property. Once that is determined a permanent zoning designation
will be considered.
Traffic Implications: Herbert Hoover Highway serves as the arterial street connecting the
subject property to the rest of Iowa City. This street is currently not built to City standards.
Although the pavement is in reasonable condition, there is no curb, gutter, or storm sewers.
The Subdivision Code gives the City the discretion to approve development on roads that do
not meet City standards, provided the developer contributes to the cost of improving the street
in the future. For arterial streets, the fee is 12.5% of the cost for improving the street based the
City Engineer's estimate. Payment of these fees will need to a part of the developer's
agreement at the time the property is platted.
A sidewalk was installed along Herbert Hoover Highway by the developers of the Churchill
Meadows subdivision to provide pedestrian access between their development and the rest of
Iowa City. That sidewalk crosses the northern part of this property and provides a pedestrian
connection to the commercial area to the west.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of ANN17-00001 and REZ17-00020, annexation of approximately
7.90 acres and a rezoning from County Commercial (C) and County Multifamily Residential (RMF)
to Interim Development Multifamily (ID -RM) for approximately 5.27 acres and Interim
Development Single Family (ID -RS) for approximately 2.76 acres located at 4643 Herbert Hoover
Highway SE.

Applicant's Statement
IC Housing Group, LLC, Applicant, requests annexation and Interim Development zoning from the
City of Iowa City. Applicant is requesting annexation within Iowa City's growth area. The intent
is to build multifamily housing on the northern portion, butthe Applicant needs tofurther review,
with City Staff, utility and other infrastructure, which is why the zoning being requested is Interim
Development. Further, land directly to the west, and nearby on the east and south have all been
annexed into the City of Iowa City. Zoning on the northern portion of the site will be requested
at RM -12 and will be forthcoming in spring 2018. The southern portion will remain as Interim
Development until further analyzed.

Planning and Zoning Commission
January 4, 2018 — Formal Meeting
Page 7 of 10
Hensch stated his appreciation with Kum & Go working with Hospice and that this design
actually improves the parking situation for Hospice.
Freerks agreed noting the details that have gone into this proposal are thoughtful.
Signs stated he was concerned at first about the parking lot for Hospice jetting over to the
residential part of 1St Avenue but feels the applicant did a nice job trying to screen that as nice
as they can.
Dyer added that most of the parking in that area will happen during the day so headlights
shouldn't be an issue.
Parsons stated he likes the layout and thinks it will be an efficient use of space, much better
than what is there now.
A vote was taken and the motion with amendment carried 5-0.
y ANNEXATION & REZONING ITEM (ANN17-00001/REZ17-00020):
Discussion of an application submitted by IC Housing Group, LLC, for annexation and a
rezoning of approximately 7.9 acres from County Commercial (C) and County Multifamily
Residential (RMF) to Interim Development Multifamily (ID -RM) for approximately 5.27 acres and
Interim Development Single Family for approximately 2.76 acres located at 4643 Herbert
Hoover Highway SE.
Miklo noted that the property is on the south side of Herbert Hoover Highway, just east of the
Iowa City Care Center and Old Towne commercial area, and west of the latest addition of
Churchill Meadows. Miklo showed aerials of the current zoning and the proposed zoning. The
Comprehensive Plan for the area is the Northeast District Plan, the Plan shows the Care Center
and shows this area as green space around the Care Center, but that is not going to happen.
The Plan does show single family as it moves to the east.
The staff report shares the details about the annexation policy, this application meets the policy
as it is clearly in the Iowa City growth area, it is an area they would rather see develop in the
City and not the County. Miklo noted there are some infrastructure needs that haven't been
resolved such as how sewer and water will be provided but the interim zoning address that until
those issues are resolved.
Staff recommends approval of ANN 17-00001 and REZ17-00020, annexation of approximately
7.90 acres and a rezoning from County Commercial (C) and County Multifamily Residential
(RMF) to Interim Development Multifamily (ID -RM) for approximately 5.27 acres and Interim
Development Single Family (ID -RS) for approximately 2.76 acres located at 4643 Herbert
Hoover Highway SE.
Freerks asked if in the ID -RS area how many houses could go in an area like that. Miklo replied
that in the RS -5 zone they typically see about three units per acre, if it is a planned development
it might be up to five houses per acre, so there could be a total of five to ten houses here.
Parsons asked about utilities and the sidewalk along Herbert Hoover Highway extending down
to Churchill Estates. Miklo said that sidewalk is now in place.
Planning and Zoning Commission
January 4, 2018 —Formal Meeting
Page 8 of 10
Signs asked if the Commission had seen the adjacent property to the east in an application
recently. Miklo said with that location the Commission saw the application because it was a
County subdivision and the City allowed it to be split into one additional lot and an outlot and
any development other than that would require annexation. Miklo pointed out two other
properties in the area that are still County properties.
Parsons asked about the green space to the south and if it would remain green space. Miklo
said while the current owner has the property it will be green space but any future owner could
develop that space.
Freerks opened the public hearing.
Megan Carr (Sand Companies/IC Housing Group) said they do have under contract the 5.72
acres and would like to apply for annexation and then eventual rezoning to develop two multi-
family developments at that location. Each building would be about 30-40 units.
Hensch asked what the timeline for that project. Carr replied start of construction would be in 9-
10 months noting they recognize there are water, sewer and traffic items they need to address
which they are not prepared to proceed with at this time, and that is why they are applying for
interim development at this time.
Freerks commented that 30-40 units per building seems quite large. Miklo noted the City has
approved some 36 unit buildings recently. Carr noted they are currently developing a building in
Coralville that is 56 units where the old Lantern Park Nursing Home was. Carr added the
building would be no taller than three stories.
Freerks closed the public hearing
Hensch moved to recommend approval of ANN17-00001 and REZ17-00020, annexation of
approximately 7.90 acres and a rezoning from County Commercial (C) and County
Multifamily Residential (RMF) to Interim Development Multifamily (ID -RM) for
approximately 5.27 acres and Interim Development Single Family (ID -RS) for
approximately 2.76 acres located at 4643 Herbert Hoover Highway SE.
Parsons seconded the motion.
Freerks noted it meets all criteria of annexation and development.
Parsons asked if there has been any interest in developing the northern side of Herbert Hoover
Highway. Miklo replied there has not. Parsons noted seeing this portion of the Highway
becoming very busy in the future.
Signs noted the north side is owned by one individual.
A vote was taken and the motion carried 5-0.
CONSIDERATION OF MEETING MINUTES: DECEMBER 21, 2017
Parsons moved to approve the meeting minutes of December 21, 2017.

Resolution
Executive Summary:
This agenda item begins the bidding process for the Riverfront Crossings, Phase 3 Project.
Phase 3 includes two restroom/shelter buildings, park electrical and lighting, and park
signage.
Background / Analysis:
Riverfront Crossings Park, is located at the site of the City's decommissioned North
Wastewater Treatment Plant. In an effort to move critical infrastructure facilities out of the
floodplain after the major flood event in 2008, the City secured funding through the Iowa
Flood Mitigation Program to decommission and demolish the City's North Wastewater
Treatment Plant (WWTP) and convert the area into a new riverfront park. The
approximately 25 -acre park site is located on the banks of the Iowa River. The City -owned
portion of the site (approximately 17 acres) has been cleared of the wastewater treatment
plant in preparation for future park development.
The goal of the Riverfront Crossings Park is to transform the riverside area into a new flood
resilient park that includes walkable/bikeable connections from urban areas to the river and
enhance Ralston Creek to become a community asset. Phase 1 included creation of a five -
acre wetland, undergrounding of overhead power lines, grading of the site in preparation for
future park amenities, construction of trails in the park including a new connection to Gilbert
Street along Highway 6, a bridge crossing of Ralston Creek at 2nd Street, a north entrance
and parking area. A contract for construction of Phase 1 was awarded to PCI on June 6,
2017. Construction began in June 2017 and is expected to be complete in early spring 2018.

Executive Summary:
This agenda item begins the bidding process for the 2018 Roof Improvements — Water
Treatment Plant & Water Distribution Facility Project. This project generally includes the
replacement of portions of the existing membrane roof on the water treatment plant and repairs
to the existing water distribution facility metal roofing.
Background / Analysis:
The existing water treatment plant roof is a combination of ballasted membrane and adhered
membrane on five distinct roof segments. The ballasted membrane, essentially an
impermeable layer held down by a layer of rock (i.e. ballast), has shown signs of settling and
wear by the need for numerous patches and standing water after rain events. Furthermore,
the membrane ballast has accumulated in areas due to wind and previous patches that
required raking the rock out-of-the-way. Movement of the ballast allows the membrane to
flutter, creating waves in the membrane. The roof sections covered by an adhered
membrane without ballast also show signs of settling and wear, as well as shrinkage due to
UV degradation. These conditions require sections, if not all, of the roof membrane to be
replaced.
The existing water distribution facility roof is a sheet metal roof of unknown age. The facility
itself is a steel frame, steel clad building. The designed repairs to the metal roof include fixing
previous patches, making new patches, straightening bent metal, and providing a roller
applied top coating.
