MEMORANDUM
Date: November 15, 2007
To: Planning & Zoning Commission
From: Doug Ongie, Planning Intern
RE: CZ07-0003 Alliant Energy Electric Utility Substation
The applicant, Alliant Energy, is requesting a conditional use permit for 3.18 acres of land
located at 4872 340th Street NE. The applicant wishes to construct an electrical utility
substation in the Rose Hollow Subdivision, including a 195 foot self-supporting tower and a
12 foot by 15 foot communications building. The applicant's property is located northeast of
Iowa City in Fringe Area A beyond the city's growth boundary. Iowa City is not expected to
grow to include this property in the foreseeable future.
The Johnson County Unified Development Ordinance permits cities to review conditional
use permits for applications within their extra -territorial jurisdiction. A conditional use permit
requires a 4/5-majority vote of the County Board of Adjustment to approve a permit opposed
by the City Council.
Zoning Requirements:
The Johnson County Unified Development Ordinance allows public utility facilities and other
related uses in any zone subject to such conditions as may be warranted by the Board of
Adjustment to mitigate any deleterious effects and promote the public health, safety and
general welfare.
The Johnson County Development Ordinance does not give specific approval criteria for
utility substations. The Iowa City Zoning Ordinance can provide some guidance. In Iowa
City, Basic Utilities located in Industrial Zones that are not enclosed within a building must
be located at least 200 feet from any residential zone and must provide S3 screening, the
highest level of screening required by the code.
With regard to the subject property, the nearest residential property is located approximately
200 feet east of the proposed substation. Landscaping east of the substation will consist of
an approximately 100 feet wide buffer yard planted with a mix of deciduous and evergreen
trees. The buffer and landscaping will mitigate the visual impact of the utility substation and
the 8 foot high security fence from the adjacent property to the east. The north, south, and
west sides of the substation, which are not readily visible from neighboring properties, will
have deciduous and evergreen trees to screen the substation.
Mitigating the visual impact of the proposed communications tower will be more difficult due
to its height. The Iowa City Zoning Ordinance suggests that towers be constructed in a
manner that will camouflage the structure and reduce its visual impact on the surrounding
area. The Ordinance also requires towers to be setback at least a distance equal to the
height of the tower from any residential zone. The nearest residence is approximately 200
feet from the utility substation property and at least 700 feet from the communications tower,
which will be located in the Northwest corner of the property. Due to this distance, it doesn't
November 9, 2007
Page 2
appear that the communications tower will pose a safety hazard for existing residential
structures.
Compatibility with City Plans:
This property is located in an agricultural area. Although it is close to the city, the
topography, street network and the location of Interstate 80 to the south, isolate it from
areas of growth. In the long-term the connection of Oakdale Boulevard from its current
terminus near Dubuque Street in Coralville east to Dodge Street (Highway 1) and eventually
Scott Boulevard, will open up the area located approximately Y2 mile to the west of the
proposed substation for commercial office type development. Because the property near
the proposed utility substation is located in a water shed that drains away from the city's
sanitary sewer treatment facilities, it will not likely develop without major investment in
sanitary sewer infrastructure. The proposed landscape screening will have matured by the
time development if any begins to occur in this area.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council forward a letter to the Johnson County Board of Adjustment
recommending that the application submitted by Alliant Energy for a conditional use permit
for an electric utility substation be approved subject to general compliance with the
submitted plans.

New Electrical Substation
Conditional Use Permit Application
Item #3:
Document explaining the proposed use including but not limited to the number of employees,
parking facilities, days and hours of operation, provisions for water and wastewater, type of
equipment to be used and signage:
PROPOSED USE:
Electric Utility Substation.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The subject property is located at 4872 3401h Street, NE -Iowa City, Iowa 52240-8046 and is
zoned Agricultural. The basis of this application for a Conditional Use Permit is to allow
construction of a new, state of the art electrical utility substation as allowed under the power of
the Board of Adjustments, Amended Chapter 8:1.20(II)(8) of the Johnson County Unified
Development Ordinance For the Unincorporated Areas of Johnson County adopted December
30th, 2004 and by the addition of new sub -section 8:1.20(II)8(1) by Ordinance 12-22-05-Z1 (An
Ordinance amending the Johnson County Unified Development Ordinance) to allow as
Conditional Uses Public Utility Facilities and Other, Related Uses). Alliant Energy has taken
positive steps over the years to maximize the circuits and equipment in the Rose Hollow
Subdivision area just outside of Iowa City, Iowa. Continued growth has already made it difficult
to meet electrical demand on extremely hot summer days. A new electrical source is needed for
this community to provide reliable power, especially under extreme conditions such as
equipment failure due to storms causing damage to our system.
A substation is an assembly of transformers within an enclosed area that switches, changes and
regulates voltage in electric transmission and distribution lines. Substations play an important
role in the electricity delivery process by boosting the voltage of electricity so that it can be
efficiently transported over long distances. It is also the source for reducing voltage so that it can
be delivered in a practical and economical manner for use in homes and businesses.
The existing Rose Hollow Subdivision site is an ideal location because of the extremely close
proximity of the intersection of the existing 161 kV (kilovolt) and 69 kV transmission lines and
the current distribution system in this area. This substation will expand the electric infrastructure
that serves the immediate area, enhancing reliability and while positioning the community for
future economic development and growth.
This substation is situated in a rural, agricultural area and has been designed to allow for both
transmission and distribution lines to enter and exit the facility. The plan also includes extensive
landscaping, adherence to the new Sensitive Areas Ordinance and adjacent land owners will be
able to continue cultivation of their land.
-1-
NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES:
This will be an "unmanned" facility. Utility personnel will access the substation two to three
times per month for routine inspection and on an as needed basis for system maintenance.
CONSTRUCTION AND PARKING:
Adequate measures have been incorporated in the design of this substation to minimize traffic
congestion and to assure adequate access by authorized personnel. This substation facility has
been designed to accommodate appropriate access and parking for emergency response
personnel. Construction should not impede roadways or result in traffic delays
DAYS AND HOURS OF OPERATION:
The substation facility will be in operation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
PROVISIONS FOR WATER:
The substation adds no demand to public services such as water and sewer.
PROVISIONS FOR WASTEWATER:
The included Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be implemented to mitigate
increased run off and water quality concerns in accordance with the Iowa Department of Natural
Resources (IDNR), Iowa City and Johnson County requirements.
TYPE OF EQUIPMENT TO BE USED:
A substation is an assembly of transformers within an enclosed area that switches, changes or
regulates voltage in electric transmission and distribution lines. A communications tower will be
installed for internal network use to retrieve usage data, line fault information and provide
emergency communication between Alliant Energy's Central Dispatch Center and authorized
field crews during times of 911 disaster. The towers that are located within Alliant Energy
substations are all FCC and FAA licensed. Initial construction will require large construction
equipment and a crane. Service trucks will frequent the site on a monthly basis.
SIGNAGE, SAFETY AND BARRIERS:
The substation will have dusk -to -dawn lighting, similar to "street lights" to aid in security. The
footprint of the substation will have an 8' tall chain link security fence around the perimeter and
has an additional 1' of barbed wire located at the top of the fence to deter unauthorized entry into
the substation. The perimeter fence and gate will have Alliant Energy identified "WARNING"
signage attached and will also include emergency contact information and such information as
the name of the Substation; identified as "Rose Hollow". The signage allows for visual
confirmation of danger prominence, see following signage examples. The substation is kept
secure with keyed padlocks and admittance to the facility is restricted to only authorized Alliant
Energy trained personnel.
Alliant Energy strives to be a good neighbor. Alliant Energy will take into consideration any
suggestions or conditions expressed by the City of Iowa City Planning and Zoning Commission,
City Council or Johnson County Board of Adjustments. In the planning and design of Alliant
Energy's substation facilities, safety is key. Alliant Energy's Planning and Engineering staff
strive to not only meet but exceed all construction and facility requirements.
-2-
TIMELINE:
It is the goal of Alliant Energy to start construction in the Spring of 2008 with the Rose Hollow
Substation facility fully operational by Fall 2008.

Re: Capital Improvements Program (CIP)
The City Council will soon be considering the City's budget, including the Capital
Improvement Program. Because investment in infrastructure affects where and how
development occurs we have asked the Commission to review and comment on Capital
Improvement Program priorities. In the past the Commission has generally been concerned
with investment in street and sewer projects that accommodate development. For example
in previous years the construction of Sycamore Street has been a priority for the
Commission.
Your packet includes a draft of the CIP and a list of priorities identified by the Planning Staff.
We would like to discuss this at your November 15 meeting and receive the Commission's
comments regarding any projects that you feel should be identified as priorities.

submitted information on neighborhood meetings that were held.
Terdalkar confirmed that there have been no changes to the application since Oct 4. A question came up
regarding the pink areas on the map that was submitted by the applicant. Terdalkar verified that yellow is for
changes being sought, red is for the new construction limit line, and pink is where soil has been pulled back.
Public discussion was opened.
Kevin Hochstedler, of Prime Ventures construction, emphasized that he is with Prime Ventures, not the
previous developer Dav-Ed. He stated that neighbors have been confused by this. Hochstedler showed
photos of a berm and landscape screening that had recently been constructed on lot 8.
Hochstedler said that Prime Ventures will implement four construction practices to mitigate for the increase in
the construction area limits including installation of a construction limit fence and signage, meeting with
subcontractors to ensure limits are not exceeded, and planting native vegetation. As an example of what they
have done so far to improve the site, he showed a picture of a berm, swale, and trees that had been planted on
lots 8 and 9. He stated that these were mature trees that had been planted. They are roughly 20 to 25 feet tall
and have made neighbors happy. He said that grasses have also been planted and that the trees were planted
in a double row with one row of deciduous trees and one with fir trees that will provide a good screen from
Highway 218.
Hochstedler stated that there has been confusion on the part of neighbors as to the purpose of this application.
Some neighbors thought that this application was to rezone to allow multifamily dwellings, but he said that this
is not the case. He stated that Prime Ventures has experience building close to wooded areas in the past, and
cited examples of this including The Stables Subdivision. He also said that Prime Ventures provides interesting
architecture, citing the Arlington Heights Subdivision as an example.
Hochstedler provided specific numbers regarding how the changes will affect the area's sensitive areas. He
said that disturbance to critical slopes, steep slopes and woodland disturbance would increase by between 1
4% and 4% each. Hochstedler stated that Prime Ventures wants to build quality homes.
Duane Musser, of MMS Consultants, stated that lot 20 had been left unchanged. The line in this area had just
been straightened out. He emphasized that no trees have been removed.
Eastham asked about the size of the proposed homes. He said that the information in the Oct 4 meeting
packet stated that plans called for homes of 2600 to 3600 square feet and that Prime Ventures is now showing
a lower figure. Musser said that the discrepancy was due to some figures using a building footprint while others
used total dwelling square footage. He said the reason for moving the line was to accommodate the size of the
homes and more specifically, the decks that are to be at the rear of the homes.
A question was asked about whether foundations that are currently in place can be built on the lots without
having to move the line on those lots. The applicant responded that it is possible.
Mike Pugh, counsel for Prime Ventures, stated that he wanted to clarify an item regarding the landscape buffer.
He said the landscape buffer is from the original plat and was a requirement made by the City. This
amendment is to change the final plat. The sensitive areas development plan is a Level II review that requires
a rezoning because the original applicant asked for a modification to allow for a longer cul-de-sac than
otherwise allowed. He said sensitive areas on outlots A and B were being protected. Pugh said that the
Planning and Zoning Commission
October 4, 2007
Page 3
reason for this application is because the original Sensitive Areas Development Plan was approved through a
Level II Review, which requires a rezoning. So even though the changes being requested with the current
application are fairly minor, this also requires a Level II Review. He stated that sensitive areas approval
guidelines number 1,4,7,8, and 9 are the only ones applicable in this case. He stated that City staff has
indicated that this application meets these standards. Pugh indicated that the construction area limit line will be
moved approximately 20 to 25 feet further back on lots 21 and 22.
Jay LeaVesseur, 742 Tipperary Rd, said that lots 21 and 22 used to have vegetation in the past, but that Dav-
Ed had bulldozed it. He said that as a result, the neighbors are worried about more vegetation being taken
away. He asked that the developers respect the neighbors and that violations have already occurred.
LeaVesseur stated that the homeowners association is active and desires good communication. He said that
Prime Ventures has made a good faith effort recently to meet or discuss with neighbors. He stated that there is
an orange snow fence in the area of lot 17 near the Iowa City sign, and that vegetation in that area appears to
be thinner now than in the past.
Charlotte Bailey, 6 Kearney Ct, said she wanted to discuss changes that have happened since the last
meeting. She stated that input from the neighbors had been solicited, but a meeting never occurred. She said
that a decision had already been made regarding the amount of the allowed disturbance of the sensitive areas
on this property years ago. She said that the lots are buildable with the construction area limit lines that were
set originally, or else the plan would not have been approved. She stated that a change of construction limit
line placement will result in a change in impact. She said the lots look okay to build on as previously approved.
She asked that an assumption not be made that one necessary fix to move the line to address work that was
already done on tow of the lots does not require the movement of the construction limit line on several lots.
She said that the existing lines are where they are for a reason and that not all changes may be necessary.
Hochstedler stated that Prime Ventures has tried to set up a meeting but due to various circumstances, things
have not worked out. He stated that they are willing to meet with neighbors.
Nancy LeaVesseur, 742 Tipperary Rd, stated that she is requested that there continue to be a good
relationship between Prime Ventures and the homeowners association.
Public discussion was closed.
Smith made a motion to approve item REZ07-00015/SUB07-00007/SUB07-00008. Plahutnik seconded.
Eastham expressed concern that the changes are not necessary because there already appears to be
enough space on the lot to build good sized houses.
Smith expressed a similar concern but felt that the revised plan met the requirements of the code. Smith
asked about the violation on lots 19 and 20 where the construction limit line had already been crossed.
Terdalkar said that the applicant is working on this and has corrected the violations. They had removed the
stocked piled soil and added erosion control measures as directed by the inspection department.
Plahutnik stated that violations were not a P&Z issue as the Commission is not an enforcement entity. He said
that with the improvements the woodlands and the planting of native vegetation as recommended by the Soil
Conservation Service the concerns about soil erosion would be addressed.
Bob Brooks stated that this is a case in point where if the developer would follow the "good neighbor policy"
early on in the process there would not be confusion and misunderstandings and it would save time during the
approval process.
Freerks also agreed that it is important to have open communication with existing neighbors and hoped the
progress that had been made on this front would continue. Freerks asked if the orange construction fence is
temporary. Terdalkar responded that it is temporary and will remain in place through construction.
The motion to approve the item passed on a 6-1 vote (Eastham)

Rezoninq Item
REZ07-00014: Discussion of an application submitted by Big Ten Rentals for a rezoning from Central
Business Support (CB-5) zone to Central Business (CB-10) zone for approximately .48-acres of property
located at the northwest corner of Linn Street and Court Street. (45-day limitation period: 10/29/2007)
Howard stated that project would include a 12-story building with one floor of commercial and eleven floors of
residential. It would have 82 parking spaces and would pay parking impact fees to cover the rest. The
applicant has revised the mix of apartments since the last meeting. They are now proposing 36 studio, 24
two -bedroom, 24 three -bedroom, and 64 four -bedroom apartments totaling 148 apartments with 412
bedrooms. 88 of the 148 total apartments now contain 3 bedrooms or more which is 60% of the total.
Howard compared the bedrooms per acre for this application to that of existing local projects. The Big Ten
Rentals project would have 858 bedrooms per acre which is nearly 2.5 times the number of residents per
acre than for the densest project built in the CB-5 and CB-10 to date. City staff remains concerned about the
proposed density and apartment mix and find that the proposed density is achieved by concentrating floor
space in bedrooms, while minimizing living, dining, and shared common areas within the building. Staff
believes that the dorm -like living environment proposed for this project will appeal only to short-term
residents. Since there is already a concentration of this type of residential living in the downtown area, and
one of the reasons that the Near Southside Plan was amended to allow for the possibility of CB-10 Zone was
to provide opportunities for apartments and condominiums designed for and including amenities suited to
residents other than just short term renters and that a better mix of residential opportunities in the downtown
area would help to support a healthy variety of commercial development and retail in the downtown core that
was envisioned by the Comprehensive Plan. Since the proposed development does not appear to meet
these goals there does not appear to be a compelling reason to rezone this property to CB-10.
Howard said that the application falls short of the goals for CB-10 zoning. She said the plans concentrate
too much space in bedrooms, which results in over 800 residents per acre. Staff is concerned that the
density of residents on the site will be very difficult to manage and may cause problems for residents of the
building and for neighboring properties.
Howard stated that staff recommends REZ07-00014 be denied.
Smith asked if the Comp Plan, district plan, or zoning code say anything about maximum residential density
in the CB-10 Zone. Howard stated that the residential density is only limited by the height and FAR limits for
buildings in the CB-10 Zone.
Eastham inquired about CB-5 versus CB-10 zoning. Howard said that the site development standards are
the same for both with regard to the commercial storefront design, articulation and fenestration of the
building, etc., but that parking standards differ between the two zones. She said that with this request for a
rezoning, the City can place additional reasonable conditions on the development beyond the zoning
requirements. The developers currently have the right to build apartments in the CB-5 Zone and can achieve
considerable density with that zoning. Miklo stated that in the CB-5 zone, bonus points are often sought to
achieve a higher FAR, which then leads to greater scrutiny of the design. Howard discussed the definition of
FAR. Eastham asked if other CB-5-zoned properties have been through design review. Miklo stated that
they have been.
Miklo mentioned that the public works department had noted that sewer capacity in the area should be
checked to see if this density of development could be accommodated with existing facilities. Howard said
that staff had asked the developer for estimates of water usage at other similar projects that they built in
Madison, Wisconsin, but that the planning department has not received these estimates yet.
Public discussion was opened.
Tom Gelman, attorney for the developer, stated that two events led to this application. First was the
destruction of St. Patrick's Church in the tornado. Second was a modification of the Near Southside Plan to
allow for CB-10 zoning in the area between Burlington and Court Streets.
Planning and Zoning Commission

Gelman discussed the amendment to the Comp Plan. He said the CB-10 zone was equally appropriate as a
CB-5 zone and that two criteria should be used to determine this: 1) Is it an appropriate extension of the
downtown area? 2) Are the services adequate for the density? He questioned why the focus was on the
residential density and whether that was appropriate in this case. He questioned why staff was insisting that
there be a diversity of residents within each building rather than focusing on a diversity of residents in the
whole of downtown.
Gelman talked about two services that seem relevant to the case, parking and sewer capacity. He stated
that the strategy for parking was to use public parking facilities to supplement the on -site parking. He noted
that the developer had agreed to pay a substantial parking impact fee even though the CB-10 zone does nor
require parking. He stated that the Hieronymus Square project has set a good standard in terms of adhering
to the CB-5 parking standards even thought it is zoned CB-10. He also mentioned that the area's plan
showed a potential parking ramp across the street from this property. He stated that the issue of sewer
capacity did not seem to be a problem — the engineers just wanted to confirm that the lines in the area had
sufficient capacity.
He stated that about 24,000 University of Iowa students live off -campus. This has resulted in horizontal
sprawl of students into existing single-family neighborhoods. He said that this project would be less dense
than what is allowed and that the developers had removed all five -bedroom units from the plans. He
discussed that vertical density is different than horizontal density. He said that a taller building would
obviously have greater density. He said the last five horizontal projects in Iowa City have had a density
average of 3.8 bedrooms per unit while this plan has 2.78 bedrooms per unit.
Gelman stated that diverse options should include student housing and that this project will add to the
downtown housing mix. He stated it might also benefit affordable housing in Iowa City. He cited a story he
heard about Washington County. He heard that this County had determined that widows' homes were where
the affordable housing could be found. In this case, when widows' homes became vacant, families were able
to move in. He said the affordable housing in Iowa City could be found in the existing housing stock. This
would be more realistic than building it new. He stated that concentrating student housing in a vertical
project in the CB-10 zone may free up some of the existing housing stock in older neighborhoods
surrounding downtown. This existing older housing stock would then provide for affordable housing
opportunities and could transition back to family housing. He stated that a CB-5 zoned project would have
less of an affect on housing in the older neighborhoods.
Gelman said that on site amenities in a building near downtown don't need to be as great as those farther
away, because there are so many amenities within the downtown area. He cited the availability of the
planned University recreation center and downtown restaurants, etc. He said the location of this property is
the amenity in this case. He also noted that this project will be student housing whether it is zoned CB-10 or
C B-5.
Randy Bruce, architect for the developer, said that planning staff had praised the exterior design of the
proposed building. He said the density allowed under the CB-10 zoning allowed more money to be spent on
the exterior design and materials for the building. He said that there are now less bedrooms in this plan than
in a similar building in Madison, Wisconsin. With CB-10 zoning, it becomes financially feasible to use
concrete and steel construction rather than wood construction. Concrete construction would allow a CB-10
project to be reconfigurable because the walls would not be load -bearing. So in the future the building could
be converted to apartments with fewer bedrooms if that is what the market supported. He said that a large
project would bring students closer in to the downtown. Bruce said that in Madison, a similar building
resulted in students moving closer in, leaving older homes available, and that some homes have been
converted back into single-family homes.
Bruce stated that high quality construction, convertibility, and economic development in downtown are
positives. He said that a CB-10 project allows them to spend more on materials and the structure.

With regard to the conditions mentioned by staff in their report, Bruce said that they are agreeable to most
conditions with the exception being the prohibition of balconies on interior courtyard. He stated that
balconies are an amenity for the residents and requested that this condition be eliminated.
Karl Madsen, of the development team, asked questions: What are the reasonable conditions? What is an
appropriate standard if this is only a density issue? What constitutes diversity of housing? Is diversity in
each building or diversity spread out over downtown preferred? He said that the proposed project was a
good density for a downtown location and would support retail uses on the ground floor of the building. He
said that it would be adding to the diversity of housing and that the high end condos that the community
desired where already being provided in Plaza Towers and Hieronymus Square. He noted that those projects
received tax breaks which allowed those developers to meet the conditions that the City imposed and that
his team was not seeking tax breaks so the same conditions where not appropriate.
Eastham inquired about the use of CB-10 for a variety of people. He asked if it is possible for students and
non -students to be together. Madsen stated that anyone could rent in this building but that non -students
tend to not want to live near students.
David Dowell, 320 S. Dubuque St, stated that he lives in the Capitol House Apartments which is next to this
property. He asked if more student housing is needed in the downtown area. He said that affordable
student housing may be needed, but doubted whether this would be affordable. Dowell said that people in
the neighborhood are concerned. He believes that this project will not lead to more affordable housing in
neighborhoods. Dowell said that the applicants bought the property knowing what the existing zoning was
and should not have had the expectation that it would be automatically rezoned to CB-10. He stated that if
scattered housing is not used in the case of student housing, but is for other reasons, that this does not
make sense.
Charlotte Walker, 320 S. Dubuque St, stated that the developer had not spoken to residents of the Capitol
House Apartments or other neighbors. .She said that some elderly residents can't make it to the meeting to
express their concerns. Walker was concerned that the plan calls for a loading area in the alley that is near
the first floor windows of the Capitol House where some of the most disabled and elderly residents live. She
also expressed concern that in this meeting, the developer had not once mentioned the neighbors
surrounding the property.
Howard clarified that staff was not insisting that there needed to be a diversity of residents within each
building, but rather that the Near Southside Plan was amended to allow opportunities for a wider variety of
residents to live downtown, not just students. Staff was concerned that there was already a concentration of
student apartments in this area and did not feel that an upzoning to support an even higher density of
student apartments met the intent of the recent amendment to the Near Southside Plan. For example, a
condition of approval for the Hieronymus Square project was that there could be no apartments with more
than 3 bedrooms and that not more than 30 percent of the apartments could be 3-bedroom apartments. The
proposed project does not meet the bar that was set by Hieronymus Square. She also noted that the intent of
the Central Business Zone (CB-10) is to support a healthy commercial core, that the zone is not primarily a
residential zone. In addition, there is much more to the Near Southside Plan than just the recent two -
sentence amendment and that the entirety of the comprehensive plan for the area needs to be taken into
account with this rezoning request.
Public discussion was closed.
Motion: Plahutnik made a motion to deny REZ07-00014. Koppes seconded.
Brooks stated that parking is a key issue for him and that he felt that more needs to be done to address the
parking for an apartment building with this number of residents. He said he did like the idea that allowing
high rise residential might help historic residential areas and also felt that the building was designed to
accommodate commercial development on the first floor. He said, however, there is a need for a diversity of
housing types, and a broader mix of people in downtown would be good.

Smith stated that this project is a logical extension of the downtown, that the project does meet the cities
parking requirements in the Near Southside. Similar parking concessions were made for Hieronymus
Square. He said is was confused about the density issue and whether it was appropriate to consider this a
problem with this project.
Eastham stated that it is his belief that additional parking will be needed. He said a mix of housing within
each building in this area is not necessary. Eastham said that providing student housing near downtown
may actually increase safety due to a shorter walking distance. He said that it is his observation that the
quality of CB-10 projects has been better than that of CB-5 projects.
Plahutnik stated that this project would lead to too many people in one area and feels that this project is not a
logical extension of downtown. It is such a leap in residential density from anything else in the downtown that
he doesn't feel that this is a logical extension of Iowa City's downtown and is concerned about the impacts
that this will have on the downtown and surrounding properties.
Shannon stated that Iowa City has changed a lot over the years. Reno and Slater residence halls were huge
projects but are well managed. He doesn't have a good answer for the density question, but feels that the
applicant should take the application to City Council for them to make a final decision.
Koppes said that this project does not follow the precedent that was set with the previous CB-10 rezonings in
the Near Southside area and does not feel that it meets the intent of the amendments that were recently
made to the comprehensive plan.
Freerks said she agrees that this is not a logical extension of downtown and that a broader mix of people
would be good to support a healthy downtown commercial core. She also stated that it is appropriate to
discuss the residential density and mix of the proposed project because the CB-10 zone is a commercial
zone. Density is a fundamental issue when considering rezoning requests.
The motion to deny the rezoning request was approved 4-3 (Smith, Eastham, Shannon voted in the
negative).
