Following is a list of required items to include with your rezoning, subdivision, OPD, special exception, or variance applications. It is important to conform to these requests to prevent any delays in the process. A list of addresses must accompany every application for rezoning, subdivision, special exceptions and variances. This list must include all property addresses and the name and address of all property owners within 300' of the proposed site, including public ways. This list must be submitted with the information noted on the application form as an excel file. Property and address information is available at the Johnson County Auditor’s Office located at 913 S. Dubuque Street. Planning staff will post a sign at the time an application is filed. The sign must remain until the application is approved or denied. Larger sites will require one sign for every 200' of frontage on each street adjacent to the site. These signs will contain general information regarding the application and will provide a phone number for persons to contact Planning staff with questions regarding the application. Planning staff will be responsible for removing the signs. If the applicant notices the sign has been removed or damaged between the time of application and final approval or denial of the request, the City of Iowa City Planning staff should be notified. A copy of the Iowa City's GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD POLICY will be provided to every applicant at the time of application. This policy has been developed to help create more opportunities for early and more effective citizen participation in both major and minor projects and encourages an applicant's participation beyond current legal requirements for notification. If you have any additional comments or concerns about these changes, please contact our department at 356-5230. Sincerely, Janet Dvorsky, Administrative Secretary Department of Neighborhood & Development Services History and Background Iowa City’s Good Neighbor Program is part of an effort to make the development process run more smoothly between property owners and developers who seek zoning and related changes, and the neighborhoods that may be affected by those changes. The Good Neighbor Program is not a requirement, but rather a recommended approach that encourages proactive dialogue between property owners, developers, and neighbors that may help identify and resolve issues before the project is reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission or the Board of Adjustment. For minor projects, such as a yard setback reduction, the approach may be as simple as knocking on neighbors’ doors to discuss the proposed project with them. For a rezoning or subdivision, it may be appropriate to hold a neighborhood meeting or open house to present the project and invite questions and comments from your neighbors. While the Good Neighbor Program does not guarantee specific outcomes, answering neighbors’ questions and hearing their concerns or suggestions may provide the opportunity to developers/applicants to address concerns or objections before the project is reviewed in a public forum. This can minimize controversy and delays when a project is reviewed by the Board of Adjustment, Planning and Zoning Commission, or the City Council. Helpful Tips for a Good Neighbor Meeting What information can you provide that neighbors will find useful? x Background information including a description of your project and the public process it must go through. x Site plans, elevations, models, aerial photos, drawings, etc. This will help them visualize the changes you wish to make. x Information or other resources that discuss the zoning or land development process. The Neighborhood Outreach Coordinator can provide you with this information or is available at www.icgov.org/goodneighbor View it from their perspective: How will neighbors see your project? x Put yourself in the place of the people who surround your property. Will they view your project as an enhancement or unexpected change? x How might your project impact traffic or pedestrian safety in the area? x Does your project enhance or complement existing neighborhood character or does it contrast with what surrounds it? x Will your project alter the natural landscape, impact views, etc.? x Might your project reduce the sense of privacy for a neighboring property owner? Ways to respond to concerns x Listen and be respectful—give people the chance to be heard. x Focus on identifying problems. This meeting is a chance for you to gather input that may be useful to you in getting your project through the review process. The issues that your neighbors raise are often the same issues that may be raised by the Planning and Zoning Commission or the Board of Adjustment. x Be open to options that could be reasonable or affordable ways to alleviate or address problems. x Resolving problems at the meeting is not necessary, but it may be helpful to identify areas where there is some flexibility in your plans. x Know that you won’t necessarily be able to please everyone, but that you are providing an opportunity for dialogue. The neighbors will appreciate your effort and the opportunity to share their views.
