A rezoning sign was posted on October 23, 2025. September 25, 2025 November 9, 2025 The applicant, Crossing Land LLC, is requesting approval for the rezoning of 13.60 acres of land from Interim Development — Research Park (ID -RP) zone to Medium Density Single -Family Residential (RS-8) for 4.75 acres and Rural Residential (RR-1) for 8.85 acres. The applicant intends to develop the 4.75 acres of RS-8 land with nineteen single-family lots. This and the surrounding areas were annexed into the city between 1969 and 1972. Since 1983 the area has been zoned Interim Development — Research Park (ID -RP) to reflect possible development of an office park along Highway 218. In May 2002, the City Council signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the Clear Creek Master Plan including a concept that envisioned a "conservation -type" development including residential and commercial uses in the area surrounding Camp Cardinal Boulevard. In 2015, a rezoning and preliminary plat application (REZ15-0018 and SUB15-0023) was approved for the land immediately east of the project site. This rezoning resulting in 16.81 acres of land being rezoned the land from ID -RP to RS-5 in order to allow for the development of 31 3 residential lots. In 2017, a rezoning and preliminary plat application (REZ17-0011 and SUB17-0008) was approved for the land east of the project site. This rezoning resulted in 28.03 acres of land being rezoned from ID -RP to RS-12 for 5.35 acres, RM-12 for 3.30 acres, and RR-1 for 19.38 acres. This rezoning resulted in 16 residential lots including 9 single-family dwellings, 6 duplex lots, and 1 multifamily lot. In 2021, a rezoning and preliminary plat application (REZ20-0013 and SUB21-0002) was approved for land southeast of the project site. This rezoning resulted in 27 acres of land being rezoned to RR-1 for 12.80 acres, RS-12 for 6.05 acres, RM-12 for 3.46 acres. And RM-20 for 4.88 acres. This rezoning resulted in 19 residential lots including 1 multifamily lot, 6 duplex lots, 12 single-family dwellings, and one outlot for future development. The proposed rezoning is the next phase of the overall Cardinal Pointe West development. Good Neighbor Policy: The surrounding property owners have been notified of the proposed rezoning. A Good Neighbor Meeting was scheduled and took place on October 22, 2025. A Summary of the meeting is included as Attachment 4. ANALYSIS - Current Zoning: The area is zoned as Interim Development — Research Park (ID -RP). This zone is intended to provide for areas of managed growth in which agricultural and other nonurban uses of land may continue until such time as the city is able to provide city services and urban development can occur. The interim development zone is the default zoning district to which all undeveloped areas should be classified until city services are provided. Upon provision of city services, the city or the property owner may initiate rezoning to zones consistent with the comprehensive plan, as amended. Proposed Zoning: The Rural Residential Zone (RR-1) is intended to provide a rural residential character for areas of the city that are not projected to have the utilities necessary for urban development in the foreseeable future or for areas that have sensitive environmental features that preclude development at urban densities. This is an appropriate designation for the 8.85 acres of land, which contain steep slopes and woodlands that limit development potential. The Medium Density Single -Family Residential Zone (RS-8) is intended to provide for the development of small lot single-family dwellings. The regulations are intended to create, maintain, and promote livable neighborhoods. The regulations allow for some flexibility of dwelling types to provide housing opportunities for a variety of household types. Special attention should be given to site design to ensure the development of quality neighborhoods. Nonresidential uses and structures permitted in this zone should be planned and designed to be compatible with the character, scale, and pattern of the residential development. This is an appropriate designation for the 4.75 acres of land, which houses fewer sensitive features than the remainder of the parcel. Rezoning Review Criteria: Staff uses the following two criteria in the review of rezonings: 1. Consistency with the comprehensive plan. 2. Compatibility with the existing neighborhood character. Compliance with Comprehensive Plan: This property is located within the Northwest Planning District. IC 2030: The Comprehensive Plan Update identifies this area as suitable for "Conservation Design" and refers to the Clear Creek Master Plan (a more detailed district plan has not been prepared for the Northwest District). The Clear Creek Master plan lays out a n general development concept with possible street layouts, and shows areas for residential, commercial, and office development. Conservation design is appropriate in areas containing steep slopes, woodlands, stream corridors, and other sensitive features. Building sites are identified to take advantage of the preserved land and create streets that minimize disturbance of natural areas. Developments with a conservation design should be more compact with less pavement and more open space than conventional development. The project is approximately 13.60-acres, and the majority of the project area will remain undeveloped to preserve and protect woodlands and sensitive slopes. In staff's view, the proposed rezoning conforms with the conservation design envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan for this area. The proposed development is predominately for single- family homes and concentrates the housing units along the existing infrastructure. It also conforms with the land use policy to guide development away from sensitive environmental areas (page 24). The proposed rezoning conforms with the housing policy to encourage a diversity of housing options as well as the development of housing options on smaller lots that conserve land and allow for more affordable single-family housing options (page 28). The proposed rezoning will result in the development of single-family homes in a neighborhood containing a diversity of housing types, which aligns with this policy vision. By proposing the development areas on the most buildable portion of the property, and thereby preserving the sensitive areas of the property, the proposed rezoning is consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Compatibility with Existing Neighborhood Character: The proposed rezoning is generally consistent with the existing neighborhood character. As noted above, 71.84 acres of surrounding land have been rezoned and subdivided over the past decade to accommodate for similar patterns of development. Existing single-family homes, townhouses, and multifamily homes are located to the east of the project area. The proposed rezoning locates the proposed single-family housing in less sensitive areas and the remainder of the project area will remain undeveloped woodlands. The rezoned area will be accessible via an extension of Kennedy Parkway. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the character of development of the immediately surrounding areas and is a continuation of the long-term vision of the Cardinal Pointe West area. Transportation and Access and Utilities: The proposed development will be accessed from Kennedy Parkway. Development potential is limited due to the proximity of Highway 218 and restrictions placed on residential development within 300 ft of the highway. A future extension of Highway 965 is planned to the west of the subject parcel. Environmentally Sensitive Areas: The subject parcel contains regulated sensitive features, including critical slopes and woodlands. A sensitive areas development plan is not required at the time of rezoning. A sensitive areas development plan will be required at subdivision. NEXT STFPS- Upon recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, the City Council will hold a public hearing on the proposed rezoning. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the approval of REZ25-0014, a rezoning of 13.60 acres of land from Interim Development — Research Park (ID -RP) zone to Medium Density Single -Family Residential (RS-8) for 4.75 acres and Rural Residential (RR-1) for 8.85 acres.

This application is part of a master plan that was started in 2015. The overall plan, formally described as Cardinal Pointe West, encompasses 80+ acres south of Kennedy Parkway, west of Camp Cardinal Road, and north of the Camp Cardinal wet basin (pond). Navigate Homes would like to rezone 13.60 acres from ID -RP to RS-8, which is low density single family residential. The land is located at the west end of Kennedy Parkway, where the street is currently a dead end. Navigate Homes would like to develop this land as a residential subdivision with nineteen single family lots. Please reference the items submitted by Hall & Hall Engineers regarding this application. Thank you in advance for your consideration of this request.

Staff Representative Comments STAFF REPORT To: Planning and Zoning Commission Item: SUB24-0005 Cole Hill GENERAL INFORMATION: Owner/Applicant: Contact Person: Requested Action: Purpose: Location: Location Map: Size: Existing Land Use and Zoning: Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: Prepared by: Anne Russett, Senior Planner Date: November 5, 2025 Tailwind North Dubuque LLC jfahning a.thetailwindgroup.com (517) 322-1200 Jon Marner MMS Consultants 0marner(a-)mms-us.com Approval of a combined preliminary and final plat Approval of Cole Hill Subdivision, a subdivision to create one lot to accommodate an existing single-family home. South of Interstate 80, north of Algonquin Road and east of Mackinaw Road 2.84 Acres Partially developed, High Density Single - Family Residential (RS12) North: Interstate 80; Neighborhood Public (P1) South: (Low Density Single -Family Residential) RS5; (Undeveloped High Density Single -Family Residential) RS12 2 Comprehensive Plan: District Plan: Neighborhood Open Space District: Public Meeting Notification: File Date: 60 Day Limitation Period: BACKGROUND INFORMATION: East: (Undeveloped High Density Single -Family Residential) RS12 West: (Low Density Single -Family Residential) RS5 Public/Private Open Space North District Plan North Property owners and residents located with 500' of the project site received notification of the Planning and Zoning Commission public meeting. Subdivision signs were also posted on the site. Application was submitted on 10/3/2024 and determined to be complete on October 6, 2025. December 5, 2025 620 Foster Rd. is located east of Mackinaw Village Parts two, five, and six subdivisions, and north of Mackinaw Village part three. The subject site has never been subdivided. The current owner of 620 Foster Road, Tailwind North Dubuque, LLC, is requesting approval of the combined preliminary and final plat of Cole Hill, a 2.84-acre subdivision to create one residential lot to accommodate an existing single-family home. The purpose of the subdivision is to allow a transfer of land from the landowners, Tailwind North Dubuque, LLC to the homeowner, Ed Cole for the 2.84 acre portion. The subject property was rezoned to OPD/RS-12 in 2019 (REZ18-00013). It was included in the larger rezoning for the proposed development project commonly known as Forest View. That project never moved forward and since the time of the rezoning the land was sold to Tailwind North Dubuque, LLC. Regardless, the rezoning, including the conditions imposed at the time of the rezoning, still applies to the subject property. The rezoning conditions, outlined in Ordinance No. 19-4794, include a number of provisions that must be met prior to platting. Some of these provisions do not apply or are not relevant to this plat at present, as the plat is for an existing single-family home as opposed to the larger Forest View development. These include provisions related to relocation and affordable housing, design guidelines, a sign master plan, setbacks, screening, parking areas, storm water management, and private open space, as well as restrictions on uses for lots indicated on the Forest View Preliminary Plat that are not within the scope of the Cole Hill Plat. Other provisions, including conditions related to lighting, do apply to the current plat. If modifications to the conditions become necessary in the future, these changes may be pursued through the rezoning process. ANALYSIS: Compliance with Comprehensive Plan: The Future Land Use Map of the IC2030 Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as appropriate for Conservation Design and Public/Private Open Space. The North District Plan also identifies this area as appropriate for Conservation 3 Design. As was mentioned above, the property was rezoned to OPD/RS-12 and the existing home was built in 2016. The purpose of the proposed request is to split off the existing home from the rest of the property, which is envisioned to be developed. Staff finds that this is consistent with the policy direction of the comprehensive plan. Subdivision Design: The combined preliminary and final plat contains one residential lot (Lot 1), which contains an existing single-family home. The subdivision also shows the extension of Algonquin Rd which will be improved at a future date. The existing home will retain its existing access off Foster Rd. Once Algonquin Rd is developed the property would also have access from this street. The plat also shows sidewalks along the proposed Algonquin Rd extension. The sidewalk on the western side is an 8' sidewalk. Extension and construction of the street will be required prior to issuance of a building permit. The intent is that it will be extended as the area to the north develops; however, if the owner of Lot 1 needs to obtain a building permit prior to that development moving forward the street must be constructed. Environmentally Sensitive Areas: Lot 1 contains a grove of trees and critical slopes. Per 14- 51-2C Exemptions of the sensitive areas ordinance, construction of single-family or two-family residential uses are exempt from the ordinance when the proposed development activities do not exceed a total of 20,000 square feet in area. No development is proposed as the lot is already developed. No impacts to sensitive areas are proposed. Neighborhood Open Space: Since the proposed subdivision will not result in any new residential development the neighborhood open space ordinance does not apply. Specifically, the formula used to determine neighborhood open space is based on the number of new units proposed. In this case it is zero. Storm Water Management: Stormwater management is not required as part of this subdivision since it is less than 3 acres in size. Infrastructure Fees: Prior to issuance of a building permit, a water main extension fee in the amount of $1,577.90 ($555.60 per acre multiplied by 2.84 acres) must be paid to the City. NFXT STFPS- Upon recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, the combined preliminary and final plat will be considered for approval by the City Council. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of SUB24-0005, an application submitted by Tailwind North Dubuque LLC for a combined preliminary and final plat of Cole Hill, a 2.84-acre subdivision to create one residential lot to accommodate an existing single-family home.

HARVAT HALL, CITY HALL MEMBERS PRESENT: James Davies, Maggie Elliott, Steve Miller, Billie Townsend, Chad Wade MEMBERS ABSENT: Kaleb Beining, Scott Quellhorst STAFF PRESENT: Sue Dulek, Anne Russett, Rachel Kilburg Varley OTHERS PRESENT: Betsy Potter RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL: By a vote of 5-0 the Commission recommends that the District petition be approved and the draft Evaluated Report attached be forwarded to the City Council for their consideration. CALL TO ORDER: Elliott called the meeting to order at 6:00 PM. PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA: None. CONSIDER A RECOMMENDATION ON THE PROPOSED RENEWAL AND EXPANSION OF THE SELF- SUPPORTED MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT FOR DOWNTOWN IOWA CITY: Kilburg Varley introduced herself as the Economic Development Coordinator for the city of Iowa City and is presenting today the petition for renewal and expansion that the Iowa City Downtown Self -Supported Municipal Improvement District (SSMID) submitted. The Planning and Zoning Commission's role is this process was included in the agenda packet and Kilburg Varley also attached a draft evaluative report, which is what the State code asked that the Planning and Zoning Commission provide, if they're so inclined. Kilburg Varley first gave an overview of what a SSMID (Self -Supported Municipal Improvement District) is. It is essentially a self-imposed taxing district where property owners within that district, if they so choose, sign a petition, and if there's enough of them, they agree to impose an additional tax beyond their standard property tax upon themselves, and that tax revenue provides additional funding to be used within the district for additional or expanded or enhanced types of services, projects and programs that's above and beyond what the municipality provides. SSMIDs are authorized by Iowa Code Chapter 386, a copy of that code was included in the agenda packet. Kilburg Varley reiterated a quick overview of the process. Property owners sign petition forms to either form or renew a district, and that petition must be signed by at least 25% of property owners representing 25% of the total assessed value. If that is all valid, then City Council would establish the district by ordinance, with three readings at the City Council level, and then that SSMID levy is collected and used to help fund those district improvements and projects. Iowa City currently has two Self -Supported Municipal Improvement Districts within Iowa City limits, the South of Six SSMID that came before this Commission a few years ago and the Iowa City Downtown District SSMID which has been in existence for nearly 15 years, first Planning and Zoning Commission October 15, 2025 Page 2 of 5 established in 2011 and then in 2015 the boundaries were expanded and the district was renewed for 10 years, which is the current authorization that they're under, and that expires June 30, 2026. Kilburg Varley noted under the current SSMID authorization the first five years levied a $2 per $1,000 of taxable value as a SSMID tax on the properties within the district and then for the last five years that increased to $2.50 per $1,000 of taxable value. Kilburg Varley stated the Iowa City Downtown SSMID is managed by the Iowa City Downtown District and is a 501(c)6 organization and is who executes the SSMID financing mechanism. Again, the Planning and Zoning Commission's role in the process for either creating or renewing a SSMID is laid out in Iowa Code Chapter 386 and the first step is for those property owners to decide if they want to sign and submit the petition to the City declaring that they want a renewal of the SSMID. The City received the petition for the renewal from the Downtown District on September 15, 2025. Staff then had to verify that the petition contains the required signatures of 25% threshold of property owners and assessed value. Staff performed that review and verified that they met those thresholds. Staff then notified City Council at the October 7 meeting and City Council has forwarded the petition to Planning and Zoning. State Code states Planning and Zoning needs to review the petition on the merit and feasibility of the project and prepare an evaluative report on the proposed district. If Planning and Zoning chooses to approve and forward this evaluative report, then the next steps would be for City Council to set a public hearing and post the public notice for that per the standard process, they would also need to mail a copy by certified mail to all the affected property owners, after the public hearing is held within the required timelines then City Council can then consider adopting an ordinance which reestablishes this SSMID. Kilburg Varley shared a map of the district outlining the current district boundaries and the expanded proposed boundaries. The proposed expansion is in the Northside Marketplace area and then to also extend the district down to the railroad tracks. Kilburg Varley stated all the properties within the district are zoned for commercial, mixed -use or multi -residential and State Code requires that it be commercial properties. The petition proposes to extend the current SSMID for another 10 years, July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2036, and for the first seven years of that extension the SSMID levy rate would remain what it is right now, $2.50 per $1,000 of assessed value and then for the final three years the district would have the option, with their board's approval, to increase to $2.75 per $1,000 of assessed value. Kilburg Varley explained these revenues would be used to help support their operations which includes business support services, marketing and advertising programming, special events like festivals and different activities, physical improvements, enhanced cleaning, lighting, public art, landscaping, seasonal decorations, etc., and staff, including an executive director, to help them implement their work. Kilburg Varley reiterated the State Code requires Planning and Zoning to consider the petition and prepare an evaluative report on the merit and feasibility of the proposal. In the spirit of that law, staff reviewed the petition and in the agenda packet outlined the different points for the Commission's consideration which staff believes support the petition. Kilburg Varley then reviewed the criteria, first, the property in the district does meet all the criteria in the State Code, it has contiguous boundaries, its commercial property, and it's located within City limits of which it meets all those criteria. Second, it did meet that threshold of the 25% of property owners and assessed value. Third, it met the requirement of the code of what that petition all needs to include, defining a name, a duration, what the boundaries are. Fourth that the levy rate, the purposes, and the projects proposed for the use the levy revenue are valid. Fifth, staff finds that Planning and Zoning Commission October 15, 2025 Page 3 of 5 the purpose of the district is adequately described. Sixth, staff doesn't believe that this proposal conflicts with any existing City codes, plans or policies. In fact, staff asserts it supports several including the Comprehensive Plan, the Downtown and Riverfront Crossings Master Plan and the City Council Strategic Plan. Seven, that the estimated SSMID levy revenue under this expansion would be sufficient to carry out the goals and uses identified in the petition and staff finds that with approximately $1,000,000 it is sufficient and therefore meets the requirements of the State Code. Eighth, that the activities that the district proposing to use the SSMID levy are all in line with state and local laws, plans and policies. Staff finds that the proposal is reasonably calculated to meet their objectives. Staff recommends that Planning and Zoning recommend the petition for approval and forward the draft evaluative report to City Council for their consideration. If Planning and Zoning choose to do that, next steps are City Council will set a public hearing, post and mail the notice, and then consider an ordinance to approve the extension. Following that, the City would need to approve a separate operating agreement with the Downtown District. Townsend asked what effect it would have if the proposal was not approved. Kilburg Varley stated that the Downtown District is a separate 501(c)6 organization, so in theory it could continue, however it would not have much of a funding mechanism. The SSMID levy collected accounts for about half of their annual revenue so if this extension of the downtown SSMID is not approved, then they would lose the most reliable and significant source of revenue that they have to carry out their activities. Betsy Potter (Executive Director, Downtown District) stated currently about a third of the overall budget it from the SSMID, it changes a little bit with the expanded boundaries. Another third comes from events revenue that they make up from different ticketing and sponsorships and the final third of the budget comes from support from the city of Iowa City's contribution towards the block by block ambassador services, the University of Iowa contribution that they provide annually, and then any other partnerships or programming sponsorships overall. Miller noted since it has to be commercial property does that mean if there is residential within the boundary it just doesn't get taxed. Kilburg Varley verified that was correct. Potter stated the big catalyst to the larger expansion is that they feel like they've had a big impact on downtown over the last 13 years but that the expanded boundaries, over towards the new UIHC campus (former Mercy Hospital) and then south of Burlington are opportunity areas for their organization and for the City overall. Wade asked what's the vision for the expanded boundaries and what would they contribute to the neighborhood. Potter replied first they would communicate with the property owners and businesses to understand what they want to see in those areas, but overall they're just hoping to expand services to those areas. For example, right now they end the ambassador services at Encounter Cafe and there's a big opportunity for Gilbert Street and beyond to expand those services. Potter noted all of their grant programs, events, marketing, they don't do outside of their existing boundaries so this expansion would be an opportunity to include a number of businesses that have wanted to be included for a long time into the organization. This allows additional businesses that want to participate to be part of the organization. Planning and Zoning Commission October 15, 2025 Page 4 of 5 Miller moved to recommend that the District petition be approved and the draft Evaluated Report attached be forwarded to the City Council for their consideration. Davies seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed 5-0. Davies thinks it's definitely worthy of merit, it is a great program and it's done a lot of good for the community as a whole. The downtown really serves as an anchor and a hub culturally. He did want to mention the University being such a large property holder and not paying property tax, being aware of their contribution and making sure it's proportional as the boundaries expand that the burden doesn't fall unduly on the private property holders, he'd hope that the University contribution would increase proportionally. CONSIDERATION OF MEETING MINUTES: AUGUST 27 2025: Wade moved to approve the meeting minutes from August 27, 2025. Miller seconded the motion, a vote was taken and the motion passed 5-0. CONSIDERATION OF MEETING MINUTES: SEPTEMBER 3 2025: Wade moved to approve the meeting minutes from September 3, 2025. Davies seconded the motion, a vote was taken and the motion passed 4-1 (Miller abstained due to absence). PLANNING AND ZONING INFORMATION: Russett reminded the Commission that there's the joint City Council/Planning and Zoning Commission work session next Tuesday at 4:00 to get an update on the Comprehensive Plan engagement that the consultant has been conducting over the past six months or so. Miller asked if there is an agenda or anything the Commission needs to prepare. Russett replied no, it's an opportunity for the consultant to share the input that they've received from multiple different activities over the course of several months. There was the website, they held meetings, attended pop up events like Party in the Parks and National Night Out, held focus groups and stakeholder interviews, and this is an opportunity for them to share what they heard through those processes. Dulek noted the Planning and Zoning chair has resigned, effective December 1, he's moving, so if anyone know anybody who wants to apply to be on Planning and Zoning let either her or Russett know and they can find out the deadline, it'll probably be somewhere mid -November to submit the application. ADJOURNMENT: Elliott moved to adjourn, Townsend seconded and the motion passed 5-0.
