ORDINANCE NO. 16-4655
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING
TITLE 14, ZONING CODE,
SECTION 4B -4A-7, TO ALLOW
RESIDENTIAL USES ON THE
GROUND -LEVEL FLOOR IN THE
CENTRAL BUSINESS SUPPORT
(CB -5) ZONE IN THE AREA
BOUNDED BY GILBERT STREET,
VAN BUREN STREET,
BURLINGTON STREET AND THE
MID -BLOCK ALLEY SOUTH OF
JEFFERSON STREET, PROVIDED
CERTAIN FORM -BASED ZONING
STANDARDS ARE MET.
WHEREAS, the area bounded by
Gilbert Street, Van Buren Street,
Burlington Street and the mid -block
alley south of Jefferson Street is
located in Downtown Planning
Distract, governed by the Downtown
and Riverfront Crossings Master
Plan, and consists largely of gov-
ernment offices and facilities and
associated civic uses, such as a
public parking facility and commu-
nity recreation center; and
WHEREAS, within this area there
are opportunities for public-private
partnerships to encourage develop-
ment on vacant lots and underuti-
lized surface parking areas that will
achieve public goals, such as Pres-
ervation of a historic church, con-
struction of public parking facilities,
creation of affordable housing and
encouraging commercial and mcm-
ational uses that will serve a gmw-
ing residential population in and
near downtown Iowa City; and
WHEREAS, in this area, for prop-
erties zoned Central Business
Support (CB -5), it is beneficial to
allow market demand to determine
the highest and best use by allow-
ing urban residential uses of certain
building types as a provisional use
in lieu of requiring commercial uses
on the ground floor of mixed-use
buildings zoned CB -5; and
WHEREAS, certain form -based
zoning standards can provide the
flexibility for these complicated
urban infill sites and ensure that
buildings are appropriately scaled
and designed to fit into an urban
setting located between the most
intense commercial zone and low-
er -scale residential neighborhoods
in the Central Planning District fur-
ther to the east; and
WHEREAS, the South Gilbert
Subdistrict form -based zoning
standards are appropriately cali-
brated and scaled to achieve the
goals identified for CB -5 Zoned
properties in this area; and
WHEREAS, amending the CB -5
zoning code to apply these form -
based standards will allow a variety
of urban building types, a maximum
6 -story building height, subject to
certain exceptions, with a required
10 -foot facade stepback above the
4th story and building and parking
placement standards appropriate
for this pedestrian -oriented urban
setting; and
WHEREAS, the Planning and
Zoning Commission has reviewed
the proposed zoning amendments
and recommends approval.

opening onto streetscapes designed to provide a comfortable and afbaclNe
environmentfor pedestrians buffered from vehicular traffic on Riversitle Drive. Along
the west side of Riverside Drive south of Benton Street, buildings are designed with
facades fronting onto a pedestrian way and perpendicular parking aligned along
a continuous north -south travelway allowing cross -parcel connections among
adjacent sites and a reduction in curb cuts along Riverside Drive, Along Me Iowa
River, buildings are located, wanted, and designed to take advantage of river
views. Along streets In this disc buildings are designetl with facades aligned
Parallel to Riversitle Drive, Benton Street, and Sturgis Comer Drive, with parking
located in mid -block and side yard locations with front yard parking only along Me
west side of Riverside Drive south of Benton Street, and along some portions of

14-2G-4: FRONTAGE TYPE STANDARDS
A.Generally
A building's frontage coni ion—the transition from public to private space, from
indoor to ourfil at the main enhance, Me design treatment of ground floor building
facades, the configuration of facade projections, and Me disposition of improvements
within required setbacks—strongly 'mfluencas the quality and character of public
streets and spaces.
All principal buildings in the form -based zoning districts shall be designed with
Frontage Types meeting the requirements of this section. The eMndards recognize
that different types of buildings—as defined in Me Building Type standards in Me
subsequent section—may call for different frontage conditions. Illustrations within
this section are intended to demonstrate basic frontage type standards and are not
intended to promote a particular architectural style or represent the architectural
detail necessary for high quality buildings.
Table 2G-5 below identifies which of the Frontage Types are Permitted in conjunction

B.Storehont
1. DESCRIPTION
The Storefront frontage is Me Primary frontage type for buildings with active
commercial ground floor uses, such as retail, personal services, and mmutsnts—
see Table 2G-5 to determine alWropriate building types. The frontage Provides
storefront facades that are typically aligned close to the streeMide property line,
with large transparent windows and multiple builoing entries at the grade of the
fronting sidewalk. The Regulating Plan indicates locations where this frontage type
is required.
Figure 2G-15: Storefront
2.STANDARDS

F. Building Design Standards
1. FACADE COMPOSITION
a. Building facades shall be designed with a base, middle, and top, as Illustrated in
Figure 20-42. The ground Ooorfacade, or inthe case of taller buildings the facade
of Me first few stories, cwnposes the base. The building elements and features
above or including the uppermost occupied floor, including Parapet walls and
eaves, compose the top. The top of buildings shall be delineated with some
form of cornice expression, either with Mm material, brackets and panels, save
details, or accentuated masonry. The base of a building shall be distinguished
from the middle through the use of string courses, cornice expression, or
installation of awnings or canopies. Where Me exterior wall material changes
along the vertical plane of Me building, Me materials must be separated by a
horizontal band, such as a belt course, soldier course, band board or other Mm
appropriate to the building materials being used.
b,To break up building facades along sheet homages, facades shall be divided
vertically into bays, as illustrated in Figure 2G-42. Facade bays shall be 20' min.
and 35' max. in width and establish a rhythm of vertical modules unified by a
complementary rhylhm of windows and window groupings. Facade bays shall
be distinguished by varying fenestration patterns, recessing wall planes, varying
building materials, or establishing a rhythm of architectural elements such as
pilasters or window bays. Where the edetlor wall material changes along the
horizontal plane of a building, Me change must occur on an inside corner of the
building wall. In the Eastside Mixed Use District, the standard in paragraph d.,
below, applies instead of this Sourcetl.
c. To avoid flat, continuous, and ovary long upper floor facades, the maximum
length of an upper floor facade well be 50'. Articulation between continuous
upper floor facade sections shall be accomplished by recessing Me facade 2'
w+aeomsw
min. far a distance of at least 10' along rear and side facades and 3' min. for a
distance of at least 10' along front facades, as illustrated in Figure 2G-42. If an
upper story facade is recessed more than 5', said distance shall be Increased to
at least 20'. If balconies are constructed within the ...ad area, the distance
between the outside edges of any balconies Mat face each other across the
recessed area shall be a minimum of 18'. in the Eastside Mixed Use Distinct, no
standard in paragraph d., below, applies instead of this standard.
d. In the Eastside Mixed Use Distinct, Wilding facades greater than 40' in width

must be distinguished from adjacent modules by a vanaton in the wall plane
of at least 2in depth along rear and side facades and at least 3' in depth
along front facades.
(2) Each module must have a corresponding change in the roofline;
(3) As appropriate to Me chosen architectural style of the building, each module
must be distinguished from the adjacent module by at least ane of Me
following means: variation in material colors, types, or textures; variation In
the building and/or pampas Mughs; variation in the architectural details such
as decorative bantling. reveals, stone, or tile accents; variation in window
pattern; variation in the use of balconies, recesses, or bay windows.
e.Amhitectural style in Me Eastside Mixed Use District: Buildings must be
designed in a manner that is consistent with a historic architectural style typical

that are visible only from public alleys are not subject to these standards. The
applicable architectural styles are as follows: halianate: Queen Anne; Colonial
Revival; Crisham.; Craftsman Bungalow; American Foursquare; Praire Style;
Period Revival; and Eclectic. The applicant must indicate in detail how each of
Me following architectural elements in the proposed building are consistent with
ora of Mese aohhectural styles:
(t) Farm and mass bill the Wilding;
(2) Roof configuration and pitch;
(3) Style and placement of windows and doors;
(4) Window and door Mm, eave boards, hieze Wards, and other Mm;
(5) Patch and entrance features;
(6) Building details and ornamentation.
f, To create a seamless transition between Me facades of a Wilding at a etre nt
corner, both street -facing facades shall W designed with equal architectural
quality and detail as illustrated in Figure 2G-43. Buildings shall reinforce street
corners by repeating facade elements such as signs, awnings and window antl
wall treatments on both sides of the building facing the comer. Additional comer
emphasis with chamfered or numbed facades, corner entries accentuated
through changes in design treatments, materials, canopy projections. roof or
parapet forms, or though other architectural method is encouraged on street
corners. Where additional corner emphasis a provided that extends verticals, to
the top of the building, the upper floor stepback requirement may be waived or
adjusted by the FBC Committee.
g. For any exterior building wall that faces a street, park, forecourt, plaza, public
trail, the Iowa River or Ralston Creek, a minimum of 25% of said wall between the
ground floor and the top of the wall shall be comprised of doom and transparent
windows, with the following exceptions:
(1) For buildings with Storefront and Urban Flex homages, this Standard applies
only to upper floors with Me ground floor meeting forestation requirements
for Mese homage types.
(2) Side facades built to the property line that will abut an adjacent building, but
Mat are temporarily within public view, are exempt trom this requirement,
h.Along street -facing facades and facades that face the Iowa River, Ralston
Creek, plazas, open space or trails, blank walls greater than 15' in length are
not allowed. Elements such as windows, doors, columns, pilasters, changes in
material, artwork, or other architectural deauls that provide visual interest must
be distributed across the facade in a manner consistent with the overall design
of the building.
