Date: April 5, 2018
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Bob Miklo, Senior Planner
Re: REZ17-00015
This application was deferred from the March 15 meeting. The applicant has submitted a new
site plan and requested that the application be amended from a rezoning from Interim
Development Research Development Park (IDRP) zone to Low Density Multifamily (RM-
12) zone to also include a Planned Development Overlay to allow an increase in building height.
The revised site plan shows an increased setback and landscaping area along the west side of
the property to create a better buffer from Deer Creek Road and Highway 218. The minimum
setback has increased from 35 feet to 67 feet. To achieve the greater setback the applicant is
proposing to add a fourth residential floor to buildings B and C (the northern buildings) to allow a
smaller building footprint. The buildings would also contain a lower floor partially below grade for
parking. Building A would remain at 3 stories plus a partial 4'h floor which would contain parking
under the building.
As a result of the increased set back, buildings A and B would be approximately 230 from the
right-of-way of Highway 218, Within the increased setback the landscape plan shows
evergreen trees.
The revised plan also includes 4 deck structures that would provide outdoor space overlooking
the pond that is located to the north of this property. A sidewalk is proposed to provide a
pedestrian connection between the buildings and the deck space.
The applicant has requested approval of a Planned Development Overlay (OPD) to allow
buildings B and C to be increased in height. The standard height limit in the RM-12 zone is 35
feet, or generally 3 stories above grade. Section 14-213-4 of the zoning code allows for the
maximum height to be increased, provided that for each foot of height increase above the height
standard, the front, side, and rear setbacks are each increased by an additional 2 feet. With the
increased setbacks proposed on this plan, building A may have a maximum height of 64 feet; it
is proposed to be approximately 50 feet tall. Building B is allowed a height of 58 feet; it is
proposed to be approximately 60 feet tall. Building C is allowed a height of 50 feet; it is
proposed to be approximately 60 feet tall. The result is a 2 foot height increase above what is
allowed in the RM-12 zone for building B and a 10 foot height increase for building C.
Section 14-3A-4 of the zoning code allows consideration of variations in the dimensional
requirements including building height in order to facilitate the provision of desired neighborhood
amenities or open space, to preserve or protect natural, historic, or cultural features; to achieve
compatibility with surrounding development; or to create a distinctive or innovative
neighborhood environment for area residents. The maximum building height may be modified or
waived, provided the design of the development results in sufficient light and air circulation for
each building and adequate, accessible open space for all residents of the development.

The criteria for review of a Planned Development Overlay Plan are:
1. The density and design of the Planned Development will be compatible with and/or
complementary to adjacent development in terms of land use, building mass and
scale, relative amount of open space, traffic circulation and general layout.
2. The development will not overburden existing streets and utilities.
3. The development will not adversely affect views, light and air, property values and
privacy of neighboring properties any more than would a conventional development.
4, The combination of land uses and building types and any variation from the
underlying zoning requirements or from City street standards will be in the public
interest, in harmony with the purposes of this Title, and with other building regulations
of the City.
Staff is reviewing the recently submitted OPO plan and hopes to present additional comments at
the April 5 meeting.
An OPD rezoning requires the submittal of elevation sketches to indicate the design and
materials of the buildings. The original application included sketches of 3 story buildings. The
applicant has indicated that they are working on revised sketches to show the taller buildings.
They anticipate submitting the revised sketches before the April 5 meeting.

MEMORANDUM
Date: April 4, 2018
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Sylvia Sochner, Planning Intern
Re: Preliminary Plat of Iowa City Industrial Campus (SUB18-00007)
Background: In 2008, the City of Iowa City purchased approximately 173 acres of land east of
Scott -Six Industrial Park along 4201 Street SE with the intention of making it available for
industrial development. The property was annexed in 2008 and rezoned to General Industrial
with a Planned Development Overlay (OPD 1 1-1) in 2010. At the time of this rezoning, a
preliminary plat was also approved for the three -lot subdivision, Iowa City Industrial Campus.
Preliminary plats expire after 24 months, so the preliminary plat for Iowa City Industrial Campus
expired in 2012. At this time, the applicant is seeking reapproval of this preliminary plat. The
preliminary plat is consistent with the previously approved plat.
Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is located within the Southeast District. The
Comprehensive Plan indicates that this area is appropriate for industrial uses, and this area was
purchased by the City for the purpose of providing land for an industrial park as an economic
development strategy to encourage diversification of the industrial tax base. The property is
contiguous with existing industrial land and located next to a rail line and major truck routes to
Interstate 80 and Highway 6, making it ideally suited for industrial development.
Subdivision Regulations: The preliminary plat of Iowa City Industrial Campus includes 3 lots
and 3 outlots. Lot 1 has access from Compass Drive, located west of the subject property, and
Lots 2 and 3 have access from 4201 Street. The subject property also includes a railroad spur
that extends south between Lots 2 and 3.
Two of the outlots, Outlots A and C, are reserved for future development. The third outlot, Outlot
B, is a wetland mitigation area. The location and acreage of these lots are consistent with the
previously approved preliminary plat.
Environmentally Sensitive Areas: At the time of rezoning, wetland restoration was conducted
to enhance and replace low quality wetlands that were located throughout the subject area.
These restored wetlands are located in Outlot B, which is reserved as a wetland mitigation area
in the preliminary plat.
Stormwater management: Storm sewers will be constructed within the ROW of the proposed
streets and drainage easements are shown on the preliminary plat to allow for future stormwater
basins to be built at the time of development. At the time of development each lot will be required
to provide appropriately -sized stormwater basins to handle run-off. The enhanced and created
wetlands in Outlot B will also provide natural stormwater filtering and drainage functions for the
area.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of SUB18-00007, a 173-acre, Not
subdivision, located on 420'h Street, west of Taft Avenue.
