Kellie Fruehling, City Clerk M STAFF REPORT To: Planning and Zoning Commission Prepared by: Sylvia Bochner, Planning Intern Item: REZ17-00019 Date: January 4, 2018 Kum & Go GENERAL INFORMATION: Applicant: Kum & Go, LC 6400 Westown Parkway West Des Moines, IA 50266 Contact: Brian Boelk HBK Engineering 509 S. Gilbert St. Iowa City, IA 52240 319-338-7557 bboelk@hbkengineering.com Requested Action: Rezone three parcels as follows: 1010 First Avenue from RS-5/ODR to CC-2/ODR 1022 First Avenue from RS-5/ODR to CO-1/ODR A portion of 1025 Wade Street from CO-1/ODR to CC-2/ODR Purpose: Location: Size: Existing Land Use and Zoning: Surrounding Land Use and Zoning Comprehensive Plan: Neighborhood Open Space District: File Date: To allow for the consolidation and redevelopment of two gas stations and the provision of parking for an adjacent office use 1010 and 1022 First Avenue and 1025 Wade Street Approximately 0.5 acres Single Family Residential (RS-5/ODR) and Office (CO-1/ODR) North: Commercial (CC-2/ODR) South: Office and Residential (CO-1/0DR and RS-5/ODR) East: Commercial (CC-2/ODR) West: Commercial and Residential (CC-2/ODR and RS -5) Southeast District Plan and Towncrest Urban Renewal Area City High November 30, 2017 45 Day Limitation Period: January 14, 2018 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 8 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.

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 Is' 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 1s' 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 15' 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 1s' 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 1" 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 1't 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 1s' 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. Planning and Zoning Commission January 4, 2018 —Formal Meeting 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 15' 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. 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 16' 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. 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 Pian, 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.

The FY2018 levy rate represents a 0.92% decrease from Iowa City's FY2018 levy rate of $16.333 per $1,000 of taxable valuation. Starting with fiscal year 2013, the City's property tax levy rate has decreased for seven consecutive years by a total of $1.66 or 9.30°/x. Fiscal Year 2018 Revised Budget The FY2018 budget amendment presented for City Council approval is the second budget amendment of FY2018. This amendment incorporates all of the programs, changes, and updates presented in the financial plan and capital improvement plan document that was distributed to the City Council and the general public on December 22, 2017. ► r � `0 WOOL ®�Mft CITY OF IOWA CITY COUNCIL ACTION REPORT The State of Iowa allows cities to amend the annual operating budget for supplemental appropriation authority. These changes may include new or revised revenue and expenditure projections, transfers between funds, and capital improvement plan changes. Increased expenditures must utilize available fund balance or additional revenue sources, as the State does not allow amendments to increase property taxes. According to the City's financial policies, amendments to operating budgets will be made only in the following situations: • emergency situations • transfer from contingency • expenditures with offsetting revenues or fund balance • carry-over of prior year budget authority for expenses that had not been paid as of the end of the fiscal year. Since the distribution of the plan document, the only amendment proposed was to move the Capital Improvement Project for the Recreation Center ADA Improvements from FY2021 forward. Design fees of $45,000 were moved into FY2018, with the remaining $430,000 being moved into FY2019. The proposed budget amendment to the City's FY2018 budget does not increase property taxes or change the property tax levy rate and expenditures are funded from increased revenues or available fund balance. of Iowa City Aug/ Sept '17: Council Work Session on Priorities January 6: Operating Budget Review January 9: Capital Improvement Plan Review February 20: Setting of a Public Hearing March 6: Public Hearing/Adoption of Budget March 15: Certification with County Auditor Iowa City FY 2019 Budget Proposal 2 2010-2016 Population Growth = 6,536 residents 5t" highest population growth in the State of Iowa (top 4 in DSM Metro) One hundred fewer than Coralville and North Liberty, combined Growth of last six years is greater than the population of Solon and Tiffin, combined Rapidly outpacing growth from past two decades In the decade of the 1990s Iowa City added 2,485 residents In the decade of the 2000s Iowa City added 5,642 residents Respond to property tax reform changes while maintaining service levels for a rapidly growing and increasingly diverse population Provide resources to make significant progress in implementing City Council's Strategic Plan priorities and adopted Master Plans Maintain an affordable tax and fee environment for residents and businesses The FY 19 Budget proposal successfully addresses each of these goals Iowa City FY 2019 Budget Proposal 4 Future Concern: Sustaining our Strong Fiscal Position Commercial backfill from State of Iowa continues to be vulnerable Multi -residential taxability continues to erode Declining `residential rollback' (taxable percentage of home value) Volatile expense items (e.g. fuel, healthcare, pensions) Not likely to sustain level of taxable growth from past several Economic uncertainty in key industries Iowa City FY 2019 Budget Proposal 5 • Commercial Backfill = $1.6 million • Equivalents: $.44 added to our property tax levy 15 police officer or fire firefighter positions All three pools, animal shelter and forestry divisions • Multifamily Residential - $1.6 million and growing • Equivalent: • Entire FY 18 Road resurfacing budget Iowa City FY 2019 Budget Proposal 6 Building Permit Construction Value (calendar year) 400,000,000 350,000,00o 2008-2011 average: 300,000,000 $99.6M 250,000,000 200,000,000 2012-2015 average: $161.21M 2016-2017 average: $302.6M 150,000,000 100,000,000 50,000,0000 ■ ' , 200s 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 • Recent growth and increased residential rollback has offset loss in multi -residential properties • Growth will start to return to average levels and rollback may continue to decrease • State commercial backfill is not expected to continue at 100% going forward • Thus gains in the past two years may very well be eroded in coming years - which directly impacts our ability to expand staffing and make long-term financial commitments to operations • Looking ahead it is possible, if not likely, we will experience a loss of commercial backfill (10% of commercial tax base), continued loss in multi -residential (4% of multi -residential taxbase per year), and a decline in the residential rollback. Status quo staffing requires an increase of 3-4% funding per year, meaning the City may need to grow out of a big hole simple to maintain the status quo.
