STAFF REPORT To: Planning & Zoning Commission Prepared by: Item: ANN19-01/REZ19-09 Date: October 17, 2019 GENERAL INFORMATION: Applicant: Allen Homes, Inc. PO Box 3474 Iowa City, IA 52244 319-350-8238 allenhomesinc@gmail.com Contact Person: Same as Applicant Property Owner: Hieronymous Family Partnership, LLC 3322 Muscatine Avenue Iowa City, IA 52240 Requested Action: Annexation & Rezoning Purpose: Annexation of 35.29 acres of land currently in unincorporated Johnson County and rezoning it from the County Residential (R) zone to Interim Development – Single-Family Residential (ID-RS). Location: East of Eastbrook Street and north of American Legion Road Location Map: Size: 35.29 acres 2 PCD\Staff Reports\draft staff report ann19-01 rez19-09 v3.doc Existing Land Use and Zoning: Farmland, County Residential (R) Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: P-1 – Neighborhood Public (Parkland) South: R – County Residential (Farmland and Religious Space) East: RS-5 - Low Density Single-Family Residential (Residential) West: P-1 – Neighborhood Public (Parkland) RM -12 - Low Density Multi-Family Residential (Residential) Comprehensive Plan: Iowa City/Johnson County Fringe Area Agreement District Plan: Southeast District Plan – Low/Medium Single- Family Residential and Duplex; Medium/High Density Single-Family Residential and Townhouse Neighborhood Open Space District: SE3 File Date: July 25, 2019 45 Day Limitation Period: N/A since associated with an annexation BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The applicant, Allen Homes, Inc., with the consent of the owners, Hieronymous Family Partnership LLC., is requesting annexation and rezoning of 35.29 acres of property located east of Eastbrook Street and north of American Legion Road. The applicant has requested that the property be rezoned from County Residential (R) to Interim Development Single - Family (ID-RS) for the entire 35.29 acres. 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 Southeast District Plan shows this area within the City’s growth area with a future land use of low/medium single- family residential and duplex housing at a density of 2-8 dwelling units per acre. A western portion of the property (shown below in Figure 1.0) is shown as having medium/high density single-family residential and townhouse housing at a density of 8-13 dwelling units per acre. 3 PCD\Staff Reports\draft staff report ann19-01 rez19-09 v3.doc Figure 1.0 – Subject Property within the Southeast District Plan Map The applicant has chosen to not use the “Good Neighbor Policy” for this annexation and rezoning. A subsequent rezoning will be necessary before the property is platted and developed, at which time, staff would encourage the developer to hold a “Good Neighbor” meeting. 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 mile 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. The Comprehensive Plan encourages growth that is contiguous and connected to existing neighborhoods to reduce the costs of providing infrastructure and City services. The subject property is bordered by the city limits on the west, north, and east sides. Therefore, the subject property is contiguous to current development and meets the goal of contiguous growth. 4 PCD\Staff Reports\draft staff report ann19-01 rez19-09 v3.doc The Southeast District Plan pays specific attention to the subject area, calling it out as an area that has been bypassed by past development in favor of leapfrog development to the north and east. Within the subject area, the Southeast District Plan calls for single-family and duplex residential development at low to medium densities, with some room for medium/high density single-family residential and townhouse style development on the property’s west end. Development of this area will provide more efficiency for city services and supply needed connections to existing surrounding development. The proposed annexation will help to accomplish the City’s larger goal of fulfilling the need for expanded housing options to accommodate the City’s growing population. Because of this need, staff is recommending that as a condition of the rezoning, the developer satisfy the Comprehensive Plan’s amended Annexation Policy, as stated in Resolution 18-211. The amended policy requires annexation of land for residential use of 10 or more dwelling units satisfy the City’s goal of creating and maintaining a supply of affordable housing by providing affordable units equal to 10% of the total units in the annexed area, with an assurance of long-term affordability. 3. Control of the development is in the City’s best interest. The property is within the Growth Area. 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 control zoning so that the subject area remains compatible with the Comprehensive Plan. For the reasons stated above, staff finds that the proposed annexation complies with the annexation policy. Zoning: The subject property is currently zoned County (R) Residential. This zone allows for single-family residential dwellings to be built in the subject area. 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 Single- Family (ID-RS) for all 35.29 acres of the property. 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 exploring options for subdividing and developing the property. Because the proposed layout of the property is still undetermined, interim zoning is appropriate for this property. Sanitary Sewer and Water: The developer will be required to pay a water main extension fee of $456.75 per acre before public improvements are constructed. The subject property is located outside of the sewer tap-on fee district, and will not be required to pay sanitary sewer tap-on fees. There is a stormwater detention easement over the northwestern portion of the property. It is anticipated that any future development will mostly be located outside of this easement area. Environmentally Sensitive Areas: The subject property does not contain any 5 PCD\Staff Reports\draft staff report ann19-01 rez19-09 v3.doc environmentally sensitive features. The northern and western portions of the property are located in the 100 and 500-year flood plains. Access and Street Design: To match existing right-of-way located to the west and east of the subject property, staff is recommending that as a condition of the rezoning, the developer dedicate 17 feet of additional right-of-way to the City when the property is platted for future development. As the proposed rezoning is only for Interim Development Single-Family residential (ID- RS), the applicant does not yet have a design for street access and interior street connectivity on the subject property. These designs will become available for analysis upon subsequent rezoning and platting of the property. NEXT STEPS: Pending recommendation of approval of the proposed annexation and rezoning from the Planning and Zoning Commission, the City Council will hold a public hearing. Before the public hearing, utility companies and non-consenting parties will be sent the application via certified mail. Pending approval of the annexation by the City Council, the application for annexation will be sent to the Secretary of State’s Office for final approval and acknowledgement. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of ANN19-01 and REZ19-09, a voluntary annexation of approximately 35.29 acres and a rezoning from County Residential (R) to Interim Development – Single-Family Residential (ID-RS) with the following conditions: 1.The developer satisfies the Comprehensive Plan’s Annexation Policy, as stated in Resolution 18-211. 2.The dedication of 17 feet of additional public right-of-way along American Legion Road to be dedicated to the City at the time of final platting; ATTACHMENTS: 1.Aerial Map 2.Zoning Map 3.Location Map 4.Applicants Statement Approved by: _______________________________________________ Danielle Sitzman, AICP Department of Neighborhood and Development Services MUSCATINE AVE SILVERCREST WAYCOVENTRYCTVILLAGE RD C H A M B E R LAINDR TYLERCTARLINGTON DRTOTTENHAMAVE FAIRWAY LNNORWICH CT KIL B U R N IE C T HAMPTON CTBEECHSTWINNSBORO DR REDWING RDA R B O R CIR JUNIPER DRVILLAGEFARM CTF R I E N D S H I P S T EASTBROOK STMICHELLECTM A P L E W O O DLN ALPINE CT PETERSON STSHAMROCK PL SHAMROCK DRC U M B E R L A N D L N AMERICANLEGION RD AMERICAN LEGION RD SE A R B O R D R SILVE R C R E S T P LS SCOTT BLVDFAIRWAY LN SEN E W C A S T L E D R B U C K I N G H A M L N VILLAGEGREEN BLVDVISTA PARK DRSILVER LN SILVERCREST CIRSHERWOOD DRANN19-01/REZ19-09Eastbrook Street and American Legion Roadµ 0 0.1 0.20.05 Miles Prepared By: Jade PedersonDate Prepared: July 2019 An application submitted by Allen Homes, Inc. for the annexation of 35.29 acres of property located East of Eastbrook St and North of American Legion Rd and rezoning of the subject property from County Residential (R) to Interim Development - Single-Family Residential (ID-RS).Iowa City BoundaryIowa City Boundary MUSCATINE AVE SILVERCREST WAYCOVENTRYCTV I L L A G E R D C H A M B E R LAINDR TYLERCTARLINGTON DRTOTTENHAMAVE FAIRWAY LNNORWICH CT KIL B U R N IE C T HAMPTON CTBEECHSTWINNSBORO DR REDWING RDA R B O R CIR JUNIPER DRVILLAGEFARM CTF R I E N D S HIP ST EASTBROOK STMICHELLECTALPINE CT PETERSON STSHAMROCK PL SHAMROCK DRCUMBERLAND LN AMERICANLEGION RD AMERICAN LEGION RD SEARBOR DRSILVE R C R E S T P LS SCOTT BLVDFAIRWAY LN SEN E W C A S T L E D R B U C K I N G H A M L N VISTA PARK DRSILVER LN SILVERCREST CIRSHERWOOD DRRM12 RS5 RS8 RS12 P1 Johnson County PD & S ANN19-01/REZ19-09Eastbrook Street and American Legion Roadµ 0 0.1 0.20.05 Miles Prepared By: Jade PedersonDate Prepared: July 2019 An application submitted by Allen Homes, Inc. for the annexation of 35.29 acres of property located East of Eastbrook St and North of American Legion Rd and rezoning of the subject property from County Residential (R) to Interim Development - Single-Family Residential (ID-RS).Iowa City BoundaryIowa City Boundary \ _j_ I _\____/:_ _l N89"45'05"E .-177.85'(M) 17 7.66'(R)-.

Date: October 17, 2019 To: Planning and Zoning Commission From: Anne Russett, Senior Planner Re: Amendment to Title 14, Zoning of the Iowa City Code Related to Single-Family Site Development Standards (ZCA19-04) Background In 2018, the City amended its municipal code in response to State legislation that restricted the City from enforcing any regulations that limited the occupancy of rental property based on familial relationships. One of the code changes adopted in response to this legislation was a rental permit cap that restricted rental permits to 30% in certain neighborhoods for single-family and duplexes. Earlier this year, the State legislature passed another bill that prohibited cities from adopting rental permit caps. Due to concerns related to the City’s inability to regulate rental permit caps and the potential impacts to preserving neighborhood stability, the City Council adopted a ten-month rental permit moratorium in May 2019. The moratorium was adopted to give the City time to study and address how best to mitigate the consequences of this legislation. Table 1 outlines a timeline of the State bills and associated City code amendments. TABLE 1. Timeline April, 2017 State legislature passes a bill prohibiting cities from enforcing any regulations that limits occupancy of rental property based on the existence of familial relationships April, 2018 City adopts neighborhood stabilization ordinance that made many changes to the zoning code, including, but not limited to: • Updated rear setback requirements to discourage inappropriate expansions in certain zones • Limited the number of bedrooms in attached single-family and duplexes to 4 • Updated the private open space requirements City moves to annual inspections for many rental properties and increases nuisance and property maintenance enforcement. City adopts an ordinance that capped rental permits at 30% in certain neighborhoods for single-family and duplexes April, 2019 State legislature passes a bill prohibiting cities from adopting or enforcing rental permit caps October 9, 2019 Page 2 May, 2019 City adopts a ten-month rental permit cap moratorium until March 7, 2020 on the issuance of new rental permits for single-family and duplex units in areas that exceed the 30% rental cap Ensuring that city neighborhoods include a variety of housing choices and options for all residents has been a challenge, particularly in the core of the community, which is dominated by student housing. With the changes in State law, which limit local control, the City is once again exploring options to ensure City codes promote safe, healthy, and stable residential neighborhoods. While adopting the moratorium back in May of 2019, the City Council articulated the following goals for any new regulations: 1. Ensure single-family detached structures and duplexes provide healthy and safe living environments for all occupants. 2. Maintain neighborhood characteristics and housing options suitable for attracting a diverse demographic in the city’s older single-family neighborhoods. 3. Prevent the overburdening of city infrastructure and operational resources. Since the adoption of the moratorium, city staff has twice met with representatives of the Greater Iowa City Landlord Association and the Iowa City Area Association of Realtors. Staff also met with representatives of the Neighborhood Council and heard input from that group on the current state of their respective neighborhoods. Proposed Code Amendment Without the ability to regulate occupancy or enforce rental permit caps, City staff spent the past few months exploring other ways to address concerns related to neighborhood stabilization. Due to the comprehensive nature of the April 2018 zoning code amendments and the additional resources for nuisance and property maintenance enforcement, staff is only proposing one change to the zoning code related to paving in front of single-family homes and duplexes. The zoning code currently allows parking in front setback areas with certain restrictions. Table 2 outlines the current and proposed regulations. TABLE 2. Current v. Proposed Regulations regarding Parking and Paving in the Front Setback Area for Single-family and Duplex Uses Current Proposed Parking spaces allowed in front setback area, as long as it leads directly to a parking space and at least 50% of the front setback area remains open space. Parking spaces allowed in front setback area, as long as it leads directly to a parking space and at least 50% of the front setback area remains open space. NEW: Additional paved areas shall be separated by at least 9 feet of open space area from conforming parking spaces or aisles. October 9, 2019 Page 3 Currently, the code allows additional paving for patio and seating areas, basketball courts, grilling areas, and other uses to be contiguous with conforming parking spaces within the front setback area. The proposed code amendment would no longer allow additional paving to be contiguous with conforming parking spaces. The 9-foot separation distance between the parking spaces and the additional paving will reduce the instances where the additional paved area is used as parking. Staff selected 9-feet for the separation distance – the minimum width of a parking space – to discourage parking within the open space area. Figure 1 is an example of additional paving installed by a property owner to provide tenants with a grill and seating area. Instead, the space is used for parking. These are the types of improvements that would no longer be permissible under the proposed text amendment. FIGURE 1. Staff believes the additional restriction on front-yard paving will help address the second and third goals that the City Council endorsed in May of 2019. In addition to the zoning code amendment, staff will be proposing an amendment to Title 17, Chapter 5: Housing Code to require all rental units to test for radon and mitigate, if necessary. This amendment targets the first goal of the City Council and also dovetails with the City’s ongoing healthy homes initiative and protects renters from a known health hazard that is prevalent in our community. Next Steps Pending recommendation of approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission, the City Council will hold a public hearing on the proposed amendment. The City Council will also consider the proposed amendment to the Housing Code, which does not require Planning and Zoning Commission review. October 9, 2019 Page 4 Pending adoption of the zoning and housing code amendments, the City Council will also consider lifting the rental permit moratorium. Staff hopes that the City Council can remove the moratorium earlier than expected, perhaps by January 1, 2020. Recommendation Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve the following proposed text amendment to 14-2A-6C to restrict additional paving in the front setback area of single-family and duplex uses. Attachments: 1. Draft Text Amendment Approved by: _____________________________________________ Danielle Sitzman, AICP, Development Services Coordinator Department of Neighborhood and Development Services DRAFT Text Amendment 14-2A-6: SINGLE-FAMILY SITE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS: … C. Garage, Driveway And Parking Location Standards: 1. For single-family uses and two-family uses, a required parking space may be located behind another parking space on a regularly constructed aisle, provided the spaces are not stacked more than two (2) spaces deep, counting the space within a garage. (See figure 2A.4 below.) Figure 2A.4 - Stacked Parking Spaces 2. Parking for single-family uses and two-family uses may be designed to allow cars to exit by backing into a street, except if street access is restricted or alley access is required. 3. Parking is not permitted in the front principal dwelling setback, except in the following situations: a. For single-family uses, one of the required parking space(s) may be provided in the front principal dwelling setback on a regularly constructed aisle that leads directly to a parking space that is not located in the front principal dwelling setback, provided not less than fifty percent (50%) of the front principal dwelling setback area remains open space, free of impervious surface. Additional paved areas shall be separated by at least 9 feet of open space area, free of impervious surface from conforming parking spaces or aisles. b. For two-family uses and group households, two (2) of the required parking spaces may be provided in the front principal dwelling setback on a regularly constructed aisle that leads directly to a parking space that is not located in the front principal dwelling setback, provided not less than fifty percent (50%) of the front principal dwelling setback area remains open space, free of impervious surface. Additional paved areas shall be separated by at least 9 feet of open space area, free of impervious surface from conforming parking spaces or aisles. c. For single-family uses, two-family uses, and group households, up to three (3) nonrequired parking spaces may be provided in the front principal dwelling setback, provided any such space is located on a regularly constructed aisle that leads directly to a parking space that is not located in the front principal dwelling setback, and provided that not less than fifty percent (50%) of the front principal dwelling setback area remains open space, free of buildings and impervious surfaces. (See figure 2A.5 of this section.) Additional paved areas shall be separated by at least 9 feet of open space area, free of impervious surface from conforming parking spaces or aisles. Figure 2A.5 - Nonrequired Parking Within The Front Setback Area (Ord. 05-4186, 12-15-2005) Date: October 17, 2019 To: Planning and Zoning Commission From: Anne Russett, Senior Planner Re: Amendment to Title 14, Zoning of the Iowa City Code Related to the Riverfront Crossings Affordable Housing Requirements (ZCA19-02) Background In 2016, the City amended the Riverfront Crossings code to include an affordable housing requirement that requires development containing 10 or more dwelling units on land zoned Riverfront Crossings to provide affordable housing dwelling units in an amount equal to or greater than 10% of the total number of dwelling units. The units must be affordable for a term of no less than 10 years. Developers have the option to provide these affordable units on-site, off-site, pay a fee in-lieu of providing the dwelling units, or contributing land. The code also defines affordable rental housing and income eligible households. After implementing the affordable housing requirement for the past few years, staff has identified the following issues with these definitions: 1. The definition of affordable rental housing excludes housing that has received Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) through the Iowa Finance Authority. Currently, these units do not meet the definition of affordable rental housing. 2. The definition of income eligible households does not cap non-retirement assets. Without a cap a household with substantial assets, but a low annual income could qualify for an affordable housing unit. Proposed Code Amendment Staff is proposing to amend the definitions of affordable rental housing and income eligible households in 14-2G-8, as follows: AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING: Housing that is rented for no more than the HUD fair market rent for the Iowa City, Iowa, HUD metro FMR area, as adjusted annually, and rented to an income eligible household or housing that has received Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) through the Iowa Finance Authority and meets the LIHTC rent limits for Johnson County, as adjusted annually, and rented to an income eligible household. INCOME ELIGIBLE HOUSEHOLD: A household is an income eligible household for purposes of purchasing an owner occupied affordable housing dwelling unit if that household has an annual income equal to or less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the area median income (AMI) for Iowa City, as adjusted annually. A household is an income eligible household for leasing affordable rental housing if that household has an annual income equal to or less than sixty percent (60%) of the AMI for Iowa City, as October 9, 2019 Page 2 adjusted annually. Households with greater than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) in non-retirement assets are not eligible for affordable housing units. These amendments will ensure that projects that receive Low-Income Housing Tax Credits will count toward a project’s affordable housing obligation, and that households most in need of affordable housing will receive that housing. Next Steps Pending recommendation of approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission, the City Council will hold a public hearing on the proposed amendment. Recommendation Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve the following proposed text amendments to 14-2G-8, regarding the Riverfront Crossings affordable housing requirements.

Should ten percent (10%) of the total number of dwelling units result in a fractional number, this fraction shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number for any fraction over fifty percent (50%) to establish the required number of affordable housing dwelling units. Any exempt elder apartment housing developments shall be subject to periodic inspection to ensure compliance with the zoning code regulations of this title of such use. 2.

Deed Restriction: A deed restriction documenting the affordable housing requirements, selected method of achieving affordability, term, applicable resale restrictions, and applicable occupancy and rental restrictions shall be placed upon the owner occupied affordable housing dwelling unit or, in the case of the affordable rental housing, shall be placed upon the land being developed contemporaneously with the issuance of the certificate of occupancy. This deed restriction shall be recorded with the Johnson County, Iowa recorder and referenced in any deed conveying title of any such unit or land during the term of affordability. This deed restriction shall automatically upon the expiration of the term of affordability. The city manager is hereby authorized to issue any release of this deed restriction, as may be necessary and appropriate, in a form approved by the city attorney. 7. Parking: Affordable housing dwelling units shall be exempt from providing the parking spaces otherwise required by the zoning code. D. Owner Occupied Affordable Housing: Owner occupied affordable housing must satisfy the general requirements set forth in subsection C of this section and the following requirements: 1. Development Requirements: a. Dwelling Unit Types: The affordable housing dwelling units shall be comprised of the same mix of dwelling unit types in proportion to the market rate dwelling units within the development. b.

Location: The affordable housing dwelling units shall be distributed throughout the development to achieve integration and avoid concentration or segregation of the affordable housing dwelling units, unless a different distribution will result in the provision of additional affordable housing dwelling units than that which is required by this code, as approved by the city manager or designee. d. Timing Of Construction: The affordable housing dwelling units shall be constructed and issued a certificate of occupancy concurrently with or prior to the market rate dwelling units in the development. 2. Program Requirements: a. Occupancy: An affordable housing dwelling unit shall, at all times during the term of affordability, be occupied by an income eligible household as the household's primary residence. b. Income Verification: The annual household income shall be determined according to the HUD part 5, section 8 regulations on annual income codified in 24 CFR 5.609, as amended, and verified by the city prior to close of the sale. c. Rental Restriction: An owner occupied affordable housing unit may not be rented, except an owner may rent or lease a bedroom in the unit. d.

Affordable rental units shall be provided in accordance with the development requirements for owner occupied affordable housing set forth in subsection D1 of this section. b. If a tenant initially deemed an income eligible household for purposes of occupying an affordable housing dwelling unit pursuant to this chapter, but is subsequently deemed no longer income eligible upon annual examination of household income, that tenant's unit shall not be considered an affordable housing dwelling unit and the rent can be adjusted to market rate. To maintain compliance with the affordable housing requirement, the next available rental unit in the project of comparable size or larger must be rented to an income eligible household. To that end, the affordable rental units need not be specifically designated in a fixed location, but may be floating throughout the development. 2. Program Requirements: a. Rental Rate: The monthly rental rate shall be either: (1) nNo more than the fair market rents as published by HUD for the Iowa City, Iowa, HUD metro FMR area, as adjusted annually; or (2).

Upon extension or renewal of a lease, the landlord may determine a tenant's annual household income based upon federal income tax returns for all adults in the household. d. Owner Verification Of Compliance: The owner must annually verify to the city that it is in compliance with these program requirements, and provide any documentation as deemed necessary by the city to determine compliance, which may include examination of the documents used to verify tenant income. Any violation of this requirement may result in immediate suspension of any rental permit issued for the applicable unit. F. Fee In Lieu Contribution: In lieu of providing affordable housing dwelling units, an owner may contribute a fee to a riverfront crossings district affordable housing fund to be established by the city. The contribution per dwelling unit shall be determined biennially by resolution of the city council based upon a formula that analyzes the difference between renting a market rate unit for the term of affordability and renting a dwelling unit affordable to an income qualified household. The fund shall be utilized solely for affordable housing purposes, which may include administration costs, in the riverfront crossings district. G. Transfer Of Affordable Dwelling Units Off Site: Upon the owner establishing that the affordable housing requirements cannot be satisfied on site, as reasonably determined by the city, it may be satisfied by designating off site existing or newly constructed dwelling units in the riverfront crossings district as affordable housing dwelling units. Any transferred affordable housing units shall in no way waive or reduce any obligation to provide affordable housing units within the development to which the obligation is transferred. In addition to satisfying the general requirements set forth in subsection C of this section, these units must satisfy the following requirements: 1. Development Requirements: a. Provision Of Units: Off site affordable dwelling units, whether they are owner occupied or rental units, shall be provided in accordance with the development requirements for owner occupied affordable housing set forth in subsection D1 of this section. The city reserves the right to deny a request to transfer affordable housing units to a particular development if it would result in an undue concentration of affordable housing units within that development. b. Timing: Where the affordable housing requirement is to be met through the provision of newly constructed dwelling units, such units shall be constructed and pass final inspection no later than the date the occupancy permit is issued for the development creating the need for the affordable housing, unless otherwise agreed upon by the city manager, or designee. Where the affordable housing requirement is to be met through the provision of existing off site dwelling units, they shall be established as affordable housing dwelling units prior to issuance of any occupancy permit for the development creating the need for the affordable housing. The marketing of the affordable housing dwelling units should occur no later than one year after the first market rate dwelling unit in the site that generated the requirement passes final inspection, unless otherwise agreed upon by the city manager. The affordable housing agreement pursuant to subsection C3 of this section shall be recorded prior to issuance of a building permit for the development creating the need for the affordable housing. 2. Programming Requirements: a. Where the off site affordable dwelling units are to be owner occupied affordable housing, those units shall comply with the programming requirements for owner occupied affordable housing set forth in subsection D2 of this section. b. Where the off site affordable dwelling units are to be affordable rental housing, they shall comply with the programming requirements for affordable rental housing set forth in subsection E2 of this section. H. Land Dedication: Upon the owner establishing that the affordable housing requirements cannot be satisfied on site, as reasonably determined by the city, it may be satisfied by the dedication of land to the city of Iowa City or an entity designated by the city of Iowa City for construction of affordable dwelling units in accordance with the provisions of this section, upon consideration of the following factors: 1. Location: The land shall be located in the riverfront crossings district, in an area appropriate for residential redevelopment, as determined by the city; 2. Number Of Affordable Units: The total dwelling units possible on the land shall be equal to or greater than the number of required affordable housing dwelling units; 3. Dwelling Type: The land shall allow for the provision of affordable units of equivalent type (single- family, multi-family, townhome, etc.), floor area, and number of bedrooms to that which would have been otherwise required; 4. Land Value: The value of land to be dedicated shall be determined, at the cost of the developer, by an independent appraiser, who shall be selected from a list of certified appraisers provided by the city, or by such alternative means of valuation to which a developer and the city agree; and 5. Right To Refuse: The city reserves the right to refuse dedication of land in satisfaction of the affordable housing requirement if it determines, in its sole discretion, that such a dedication is not in the best interests of the public for any reason, including a determination that the city is not likely to construct or administer an affordable housing development project in a timely manner due to the unavailability of funds or other resources. Additionally, where the value of the land proposed to be dedicated is less than the value of the fee in lieu contribution established in accordance with the provisions above, the city reserves the right to require an owner to contribute a fee making up this difference in values. I. Administrative Rules: The city manager or designee is hereby authorized to establish administrative rules deemed necessary not inconsistent with any ordinance adopted by the city council in order to assure that the purposes of this section are accomplished. A copy of the rules shall be on file with the city clerk and available on the city website. (Ord. 16-4668, 7-5-2016, eff. 8-1-2016) MINUTES PRELIMINARY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OCTOBER 3, 2019 – 7:00 PM – FORMAL MEETING EMMA J. HARVAT HALL, CITY HALL MEMBERS PRESENT: Mike Hensch, Phoebe Martin, Max Parsons, Mark Signs, Billie Townsend MEMBERS ABSENT: Larry Baker, Carolyn Dyer STAFF PRESENT: Sara Hekteon, Anne Russett OTHERS PRESENT: Gina Landau RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL: By a vote of 5-0 the Commission recommends approval of CZ19-01, an application submitted by Claude Greiner for a rezoning of approximately 25.32 acres of property located in unincorporated Johnson County north of American Legion Road and south of 400th Street SE from County Agriculture (A) to County Residential (R). CALL TO ORDER: Hensch called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM. PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA: None. CASE NO. CZ19-01: Applicant: Claude Greiner Location: North of American Legion Road and South of 400th Street SE An application submitted by Claude Greiner for a rezoning of approximately 25.32 acres of property located in unincorporated Johnson County north of American Legion Road and south of 400th Street SE from County Agriculture (A) to County Residential (R). Russett stated this is a proposed rezoning in the Fringe Area and showed an aerial map of the proposed rezoning which is north of American Legion Road. It is located within the two mile Fringe Area radius of the City’s corporate limits, Area B, outside the City’s growth boundary. The property is currently zoned County Agricultural (A) and the surrounding properties are a mix of residentially zoned land as well as some agriculturally zoned land. If this rezoning is approved, the applicant intends to develop a county subdivision, and divide the land into approximately 23 single-family residential lots and two outlots for storm water management and open space. Russett noted she also received an alternative concept plan and describes the differences. In the original concept the applicant is proposing to change the existing lots 5 and 6 into a future lot 15 and Faye Drive would be extended into the new subdivision. In the new version lots 5 and 6 Planning and Zoning Commission October 3, 2019 Page 2 of 5 would remain fronting American Legion Road and there would be two fewer lots within the proposed subdivision. Russett noted that this application is just for the rezoning and City approval will be required if the property is subdivided with either proposal. Russett noted this application is similar to a rezoning the Commission saw last year. In 2018 there was a proposed rezoning just east. Staff recommended not to approve this rezoning because it conflicted with the policies in the Fringe Area Agreement. The Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council agreed with staff. This led to the creation of a conflict resolution committee, which included City and County staff, City Council members, and representatives of the Board of Supervisors. After this committee consulted, the City Council recommended approval of the rezoning as did the Board of Supervisors. Russett noted the proposed rezoning is consistent with the County’s Comprehensive Plan, the County updated their Land Use Map and Comprehensive Plan last year and identified this as an area for future residential development. In reviewing proposed rezonings in the Fringe Area, staff relies on the policies outlined in the Fringe Area Agreement. The Fringe Area Agreement is a component of the City’s Comprehensive Plan and applies to areas not specifically planned for in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The Fringe Area Agreement is intended to provide guidance regarding the development of land located within two miles of Iowa City’s corporate limits. The Fringe Area Agreement for this area recommends agricultural uses and that land uses are restricted to rural and agricultural uses. The role of the Commission tonight is to make a recommendation to City Council on the rezoning, however the Johnson County Board of Supervisors ultimately makes the decision on this rezoning. Although the proposed rezoning is not consistent with the policies outlined in the adopted Fringe Area Agreement, staff recommends approval of this rezoning for the following reasons: 1. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the County’s Future Land Use Map and comprehensive plan; 2. Based on the outcome of Greiner rezoning south of American Legion Road in 2018, staff anticipates that a recommendation of denial would lead to the need to create another conflict resolution committee; and 3. Staff is working with County planning staff to update the Fringe Area Agreement. Hensch asked if there was anything uniquely different with this rezoning application from the one to the east that was rezoned last year. One difference is this proposed rezoning shows the extension of an existing street, Faye Drive, which was always intended to be extended to the west so that goes to show this area was planned to be developed. Hensch asked if there was just the one access point from the new development onto American Legion Road. Russett said they are proposing one street and depending on how it lays out there may be more driveways on American Legion Road. Hensch opened the public hearing. Gina Landau (MMS Consultants) is representing Claude Greiner and also represented the other parcel that was discussed in 2018 and attended the conflict resolution committee meetings, so is familiar with this area. Landau confirmed that the extension of Faye Drive was known when Planning and Zoning Commission October 3, 2019 Page 3 of 5 Redwing Estates was platted in the 1980’s. Landau said they would have just the one access point onto American Legion Road from lot 7 which leaves a 100 foot frontage along the roadway. Regarding lots 5 and 6, Landau prefers the one where the lots are turned and part of the new development but that is still being decided. There are also discussions to have a road extend up to 400th Street for another access point. Landau reiterated this is just a concept at this point, there have been a couple of developers talking with her client and if they choose to only put in 7 lots rather than 21 or 23 that is their prerogative. Signs noted there is access to 400th Street from the Redwing Estates subdivision. Landau confirmed that was the case but also acknowledged the County realizes not as many would take 400th Street because it is a gravel road. Hensch noted it is best to have a second access point in case of emergency. Townsend asked if there was a need for a Good Neighbor Meeting. Landau noted the County does not do Good Neighbor Meetings and considers the public hearing to be where citizens can speak. Hensch closed the public hearing. Parsons moved to recommend approval of CZ19-01, an application submitted by Claude Greiner for a rezoning of approximately 25.32 acres of property located in unincorporated Johnson County north of American Legion Road and south of 400th Street SE from County Agriculture (A) to County Residential (R). Martin seconded the motion. Signs disclosed he was recently a listing agent on lot 8 of American Legion Road and it was sold to two of his agents. He had a conversation with them this afternoon and they have no problem with this proposal. Hensch noted there is concern when violating the Fringe Area Agreement, as this is not consistent with the current Agreement, however with the rezoning to the east and the conflict resolution committee working it out plus the background work of redoing the Fringe Area Agreement make this application acceptable. A vote was taken and the motion passed 5-0. CONSIDERATION OF MEETING MINUTES: SEPTEMBER 5, 2019 Townsend moved to approve the meeting minutes of September 5, 2019. Signs seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed 5-0. PLANNING AND ZONING INFORMATION: Planning and Zoning Commission October 3, 2019 Page 4 of 5 Russett noted the City Council approved the Tamarack Ridge rezoning and preliminary plat. Russett also noted the Iowa APA Conference is in Iowa City next week and the Commission is invited to attend. ADJOURNMENT: Signs moved to adjourn. Parsons seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed 5-0.
