Resolution No. Page 2 Passed and approved this Attest: FLED day of , 2021. 2,371 OCT 19 PM 2: 30 CITY CLERK maMA CITY. IOWA City Clerk City Attorney's Office WEBER SUBAREA 7071 OCT 19 PM 2: 3 The Weber Subarea is located south of Melrose Avenue and Highway.21i8; rio.rtfi.eii( Rohret Road, extending to thtr ►t g growtF ' \ limits half a mile west of Slothower Road. Before the 1980s this area was relatively undeveloped, with a few houses fronting onto Rohret Road. Through the 1980's and 90's housing developed westward on the north side of Rohret Road and south of the County Poor Farm property. Roughly two-thirds of the land area is undeveloped. Some patches of woodland and native prairie exist, but most of it is under cultivation. The area contains three public/institutional uses: Irving B. Weber Elementary School, the Korean Methodist Church, and Chatham Oaks, a residential care facility located on the County Poor Farm property. There are no commercial uses in the subarea. Transportation In the future , the City plans to extend Highway 965 southward along the current western growth limit to connect with Rohret Road via the eastern edge of the Iowa City Landfill. It will eventually reach Highway 1 and serve as a far west side arterial. As development approaches this area, the City needs to secure adequate road right-of-way and sufficient buffer width against the Iowa City Landfill. As an entryway corridor into Iowa City, Highway 965 should incorporate boulevard design standards with a well -landscaped median and generous landscaping along both sides, wide sidewalks and bicycle lanes. This could serve as additional buffer against the landfill. In the more immediate future a north -south collector street will be required between Melrose Avenue and Rohret Road, part of it configured using the Slothower Road right-of-way. Care must be taken to keep the eventual route somewhat circuitous between Melrose and Rohret to diminish its desirability as a cut -through route for non -local traffic. In addition, access routes to the southern portion of the County Poor Farm should be incorporated into the local street layouts in future phases of both Wild Prairie Estates and Country Club Estates. Willow Creek Trail will eventually cross Highway 218 via tunnel and connect Hunters Run Park to the wider community trail system. A trail link across the County Poor Farm property to Melrose Avenue will connect this regional trail to the arterial street system in the far western part of the Southwest District. If a regional stormwater lake is constructed in the Rohret South Subarea, it will be important to construct a trail connection between Hunters Run Park and the public open space surrounding this new lake. Southwest District Plan 10/8/02 38 SIL= As westward development crel s LOTr dOo . F3ohret Road and Melrose Avenue will be improved to City standards beyond the p nt-of the current corporate limits. i 'r' LLLRK Public Services and Facilities IOWA CITY, IOWA Before much of the area between Slothower and the landfill can be developed, a sanitary sewer lift station will have to be constructed. Northern portions of Country Club Estates can build out without further sewer improvements, but the southern two- thirds adjacent to Rohret Road drains to the southwest. This portion cannot be developed until a temporary lift station is built that connects to the landfill's lift station or a proposed permanent lift station is built south of Rohret Road on the western edge of the Rohret South Subarea. Land Use Several areas of particular interest stand out in the Weber subarea with regard to land use: the build -out of Country Club Estates and Wild Prairie Estates; the development of the area west of Slothower Road; and future use of the County Poor Farm property. Future use of the County Poor Farm property generated considerable discussion and a wide variety of suggestions during Citizen Planning workshops. The following considerations should be used as a guide to future development of this property: • The following important elements should be preserved and protected from the encroachment of development: the historic poor farm buildings and cemetery; Chatham Oaks residential care facility; and any environmentally sensitive areas. • Approximately 90 acres of the property are wooded, brushy, or contain prairie remnants. These areas would be suitable for use as a regional park that could be connected via the Willow Creek trail to other parks and destinations in the Southwest District. • The southwest portion of the property contains approximately fifty acres of relatively flat ground that is currently row -cropped. This area would be suitable for residential development. Any new subdivisions in this location should be connected to the street network developed in the Southwest Estates and Wild Prairie Estates subdivisions located directly south of the County Farm property. • If any development occurs on the county property adjacent to Highway 218, a buffer should be maintained. • Future use of the county property located north of Melrose Avenue should be considered carefully with regard to potential impacts on the poor farm property. Southwest District Plan 10/8/02 39 AILED Wild Prairie Estates will soon rtl rn pdary. Access to and through the Poor Farm is a desirable option in the future and for now a street stub northward up to the Willow Creek -Hunters Run Trail xtertStroY1 will be necessary. North of that and adjacent to Highway 218's right-pf4ay:rtiS;e; nd sight buffer should be established between residential areas and the highway. The Comprehensive Plan discourages the establishment of commercial uses around the Melrose Avenue -Highway 218 interchange. This policy generally should be maintained because there are several adequate commercial services in the vicinity to serve this area. The Highway 1 -Highway 218 interchange further south provides community and highway commercial services. In addition, Walden Square in the Willow Creek Subarea provides neighborhood commercial services, and a future neighborhood commercial area is proposed in the Rohret South Subarea. However, intensive commercial uses may be appropriate along Melrose Avenue further from the interchange due to proximity to major thoroughfares and to serve as a buffer for residential uses from the potential future expansion of the landfill and Highway 965. A New Subdivision in the Weber Subarea The remaining portion of the Country Club Estates property is primarily suitable for low-density single-family development. If well-designed, the portion of the property adjacent to Rohret Road may be suitable for clusters of medium -density residential uses, such as townhouses or condominiums. A transition between existing Rural Residential -zoned (RR -1) portions of Southwest Estates and future low-density single-family residential development to the west may be accomplished by platting larger RS -5 - zoned lots backing onto the existing rural residential lots of Southwest Estates. The land west of Slothower is currently used for agriculture. The Weber Subarea Plan Map designates this area as "future urban development." However, until sewer service is extended in that direction and one or more lift stations constructed, there will not be any significant urban development. Before reaching the twenty-year horizon of this plan, some residential uses, or intensive commercial, may develop along the west side of Slothower Road and begin moving toward the future Highway 965 extension. However, the expectation is that development will not and should not "leapfrog" without street and trail connections bridging the gap between 965 and Slothower Road. When development becomes imminent a more detailed plan will need to be developed for this area. When development does occur, it will be important to buffer residential uses from the Iowa City Landfill and Highway 965. Southwest District Plan 10/8/02 40 Open Space ?RI OCT 19 PH 2 30 As this subarea continues to develop , additional public open space WW be,, v` needed. Recent improvements to 1 1 Hunters Run Park increased the amount of active park space in the area. This park may be extended to the west when the northern part of Wild Prairie Estates is subdivided. As mentioned, the County Poor Farm property contains land that is suitable for public open space and connecting trail corridors. The County should plan for public open space needs as it contemplates future uses for the property. The City plans to use a small parcel of land near the southwest corner of the County Poor Farm property for a water reservoir. Most of the ground will remain open and could be used for a small neighborhood park. Additional parkland could be added to this property as Country Club Estates continues to develop.

Development Density: approximately 1 dwelling unit/acre Single-Family/Duplex Residential Intended primarily for single family and duplex residential development. Lower density zoning designations are suitable for areas with sensitive environmental features, topographical constraints, or limited street access. Higher densities are more appropriate for areas with good access to all city services and facilities. Development Density: 2-12 dwelling units/acre Narrow Lot/Townhouse Residential Suitable for medium to high density single family residential development, including zero lot line development, duplexes, townhouses, and narrow lot detached single family housing. Development Density: 6-12 dwelling units/acre Low -Density Multi -Family Residential Intended for low -density multi -family housing. Suitable for areas with good access to all city services and facilities. Higher density zoning designations may not be suitable for areas with topographical constraints or limited street access. Development Density: 8 -15 dwelling units/acre Medium- to High -Density Multi -Family Residential Intended for medium- to high-density multi -family housing. Suitable for areas with good access to all city services and facilities. Higher density zoning designations may not be suitable for areas with topographical constraints or limited street access. Development Density: 16-44 dwelling units/acre Future Urban Development Areas within the growth limit that are not yet served by City services and may not experience substantial development within the lifetime of this district plan. As development becomes imminent in these areas, the City will develop more detailed land use and street layout concepts to supplement the current plan. Public/Private Open Space Indicates existing open space that is important for the protection of sensitive natural features and/or to provide for recreational opportunities and protect the aesthetic values of the community. An open space designation on private land may indicate that an area is largely unsuitable for development due to environmental or topographical constraints. While these areas are best reserved or acquired for private or public open space, development rhair'decur on privately held land if a proposal meets the underlying zoning requirements and the requirements of the Iowa City Sensitive Areas Ordinance. Vegetative Noise and Sight Buffer Useful public facilities, such as limited -access highways or landfills, can produce undesirable side-effects. In these areas a substantial vegetative buffer should be maintained or established to separate residential development from these uses. Alternatively, where appropriate, nonresidential uses can be used to buffer residential areas from highways, landfills, and other such uses. Public Services/Institutional Areas intended for civic, cultural, or historical institutions; public schools; and places of assembly or worship. Iowa City does not have a zone that designates institutional uses as the primary, preferred land use. However, there are a number of zones where these uses are permitted or provisional uses. Development proposals are subject to the requirements of the underlying zoning designation. Land that is owned by a public entity is typically zoned Public (P). Neighborhood Commercial Areas intended for retail sales and personal service uses that meet the day-to-day needs of a fully developed residential neighborhood. A grocery store or grocery store/drug store combination is preferred as the primary tenant in a Neighborhood Commercial (CN -1) zone. Specific site development standards will apply in these areas to ensure that commercial development is pedestrian -friendly and compatible with surrounding residential development. Office Commercial Areas intended for office uses and compatible businesses. In some cases these areas may serve as a buffer between residential areas and more intensive commercial or industrial uses. General Commercial Areas intended to provide the opportunity for a large variety of commercial uses that serve a major segment of the community. Mixed Use Areas intended for development that combines commercial and residential uses. An area may be primarily commercial in nature or may be primarily residential depending on the location and the surrounding neighborhood. Commercial uses will typically be located on the ground floor with housing above. Development is intended to be pedestrian - oriented with buildings close to and oriented to the sidewalk.

Retail uses are restricted in order to provide opportunities for more land -intensive or quasi -industrial commercial operations and also to prevent conflicts between retail and industrial truck traffic. Special attention must be directed toward buffering the negative aspects of allowed uses from any adjacent lower intensity commercial areas or residential areas. \\ .: ..... ...... r— .

Policies for Specific Subareas within the City Growth Area: Growth and development within the City's Growth Area is guided by the land use policy direction of the City's Comprehensive Plan with the exception of certain areas. Specifically, there are areas within the City's Growth Area identified as Subareas in Appendices B -F, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, where more specific policy direction applies. In addition to Sections B and C above, the following additional policies apply: 1. Subarea #1: Located north and south of Highway 1. This area may become ripe for development in the future, once the area to the north is developed. Subarea #1 shall develop in accordance with the Future Land Use Map of the County's Comprehensive Plan as opposed to the City's Comprehensive Plan. 2. Subarea #2: Located south of Highway 218 and Riverside Drive, Subarea #2 may attract commercial uses due to its highway adjacency and positioning as a southern gateway to the Iowa City area. This area shall develop in alignment with the Future Land Use Map of the County's Comprehensive Plan, as opposed to the City's Comprehensive Plan, which identifies a Commercial growth area. 3. Subarea #3: Subarea #3 is located north of Highway 6 near Taft Avenue.

Land in Subarea #3 shall remain as open space or agricultural land use until annexed by the City. 4. Subarea #4: Subarea #4 is located to the west of the Herbert Hoover Highw4yand 1-80 interchange. This interchange acts as an eastern gateway to the Iowa Citi area and contains prime interstate access. A portion of Subarea #4 is appropr±ite for certain commercial development and a portion should remain agricultural in najuFe. Ibe map in Appendix E identifies land that shall develop in alignment with the Coup's Future Land Use Map and Comprehensive Plan. which identifies this area as appropriate for Commercial and Highway Commercial land uses. For the remainder of land v iithin this area, rezonings to other zones besides Agriculture are not allowed. 5. Subarea #5: Subarea #5 is located to the north of 1-80, and east of Highway 1: Subarea #5 is intended to provide a buffer between non-residential uses to the south and County Residential uses to the north. Land in Subarea #5 shall remain as open space or agricultural land use until annexed by the City. E. Policies Outside the City's Growth Area The following policies apply to all areas within the 2 -mile fringe area that are outside the City's Growth Area shown in Appendix A. 1. Location: Those areas that are outside of the City's Growth Area but still located within the Fringe Area are identified in the Fringe Area Development Map (Appendix A). This land is not intended to be annexed into the City in the foreseeable future due to distance from the City's corporate limits and existing City infrastructure. 2.

Streets 1. Streets shall be designed for a minimum surface width of 22 feet. Curb and gutter will not be required. 2. The right-of-way for local residential streets shall be 60 feet to enable retrofit of sewer, water, and sidewalk in the future as necessary. The right-of-way for arterial, industrial, and collector streets for the developed area shall be determined by City and County planning and engineering staff. 3. The maximum street grade for local streets shall be 12%. 4. The pavement cross section for all pavements will be a 2% parabolic crown. This cross slope is equivalent to'/4-inch per foot. 5. At a minimum, the pavement slab shall be constructed of a 6" rolled stone base and a 22 -foot wide chipseal or other paved surface. 6. Minimum corner radii shall be 20 feet. 7. The minimum ditch grade shall be 1%. In addition, it will be necessary to place a 12 - inch diameter (minimum) culvert, either reinforced concrete pipe or corrugated metal pipe, through all drive approaches constructed over a drainage ditch. The exact size of pipe required will be a function of the area to be drained. 8. Drive approaches shall be hard surfaced within the right-of-way. B. Water Distribution System 1. Well(s) shall conform to the requirements of the Johnson County Hea-DepWrtment and the distribution system, if installed, (water main) shall be either dutile iron pipe (DIP) or poly vinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, - and conform with Statewide Urban Design and Specifications (SUDAS) Standard Specifications. ry GJ 2. It shall be the responsibility of the developer's engineer to establish a fire rating for the area being developed, and to identify any infrastructure being constructed (or other means anticipated) for the purpose of fire protection. Prior to the plat approval, there shall be a letter from the appropriate Fire Protection District approving the proposed fire protection measures based on current practices. 3. Connection to the City of Iowa City Water Distribution System is subject to City Council consideration based on availability. Generally, annexation is a criterion which must be met. C. Sanitary Sewer All methods of sanitation shall conform to all current Johnson County Board of Health Rules and Regulations Governing On-site Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Systems. 1 D. Stormwater Management 1. Stormwater facilities shall conform to all current Johnson County stormwater management regulations and policies. 2. Storm sewer construction shall be in accordance with the Statewide Urban Design and Specifications (SUDAS) Standard Specifications. 3. Culverts shall be a minimum of 12 inches in diameter and reinforced concrete pipe shall be used. Culverts shall conform with the Statewide Urban Design and Specifications (SUDAS) Standard Specifications. Minimum cover over the top of culvert shall be six inches. E. Underground Utilities Whenever a subdivision shall be laid out such that a new street is required, telephone, cable television, internet, and electric utilities shall be underground. It is not intended that small subdivisions which would use an existing county road would follow this requirement since overhead utilities are probably directly adjacent to the property. N 2 18 An aerial view of the eastern edge of Iowa City. An important goal of Iowa City's Comprehen- sive Plan is to manage urban growth by en- couraging compact and contiguous develop- ment. Contiguous development is more effi- cient since building on land that is adjacent to existing development and connecting into existing road and utility networks is cost and resource efficient and ensures that neighbor- hoods are not isolated. This saves money for developers, property owners, and taxpayers. V4401 'A 113 t/4401 0C :Z add 61130 llDi w,E Appendix 1 If the annexation is for residential development that will result in the creation of ten (10) or more new housing units, the development will support the City's goal of creating and maintaining the supply of af- fordable housing. Such support shall be based on providing affordable units equal to 10% of the total units in the annexed area with an assurance of long term affordability, preferably for a term of not less than 20 years. Income targets shall be consistent with the City's existing program requirements. How the development provides such support will vary depending on the particular circumstances of annexation, and may include, but is not limited to, transfer of lots/units to the City or an affordable housing provider; fee -in -lieu paid to the City's affordable housing fund; and/or participation in a state or federal housing program. In determining the most desirable option, preference shall be weighted toward options that help achieve better socio-economic balance among Iowa City neighborhoods and among schools in the Iowa City Community School District. An agreement committing the Owner/Developer to the affordable housing obligation, shall be required prior to annexation, and shall be further memorialized, if necessary, in a conditional zoning agreement. Fringe Area Agreement State enabling legislation permits a city to regulate the subdivision of land within two miles of the City's corporate boundaries. This area is known as the urban fringe area. Counties that enact ordinanccs In the interest of managing growth and development in Iowa City's two-mile fringe area in a mutually ac-ceptable manner, Johnson County and Iowa City negotiated a Fringe Area Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the appropriate land uses and standards for development, including County land use map amendments, rezonings and subdivisions. - Policy Agreement. The Fringe Area Agreement enables both the City and the County to cooperate for their mutual benefit through coordinated land use planning. Such policies are necessary to more effectively and economically provide services for future growth and development, and to protect and preserve the fringe area's natural resources and its environmentally sensitive features. The Agreement reflects the City's development strategy of expanding the City's corporate boundary only as necessary. It serves this Comprehensive Plan's goal to encourage compact, efficient development that is contiguous and connected to existing neighborhoods. By guiding new peripheral development in the City's Growth Area, the Fringe Area Agreement discourages sprawl and preserves prime farmland and ensures that development can be adapted to City infrastructure upon annexation. Growth and the Environment Iowa City's vision for the future includes environmental protection as a basic tenet. This includes strong community support for the Sensitive Areas Ordinance (SAO). Growth and development should be man -aged such that the environmental quality of the community is not sacrificed. Measures should be taken in all private and public projects to ensure that any impacts on regulated environmental features are mini-mized. The City's Sensitive Areas Inventory identifies the general location of woodlands, wetlands, regulated slopes, hydric soils, prairie remnants, stream corridors, and archaeological sites (See the appendix). Based on the information provided in the inventory, an ordinance was adopted in 1995 to provide protec-tions for the identified environmentally sensitive areas. The ordinance requires consideration of environ -mental features during the development process and encourages construction that respects and protects natural areas. As the City continues to grow and redevelop, natural areas that contribute to the health and character of the city will be protected. The City should encourage subdivisions that not only preserve en-vironmental areas but that incorporate them as assets in the overall development as private or public open space.

Overview What is a Fringe Area and Fringe Area Agreement? How did we get here? Comprehensive Plan Changes Build -Out Analysis What does the proposed agreement include? Growth Boundaries Land Development Policies (Urban vs Rural Design Standards) Procedures for Review What is a Fringe Area & Fringe Area Agreement? State law establishes a two-mile extraterritorial area (Fringe Area) beyond a city's boundaries in which a city reviews and approves subdivisions. Under State law a city can deny a subdivision within this area. Counties control uses and zoning. Alternatively, Governments are allowed to craft specific agreements in lieu of the State standard to establish mutually agreeable policies and procedures for City and County review of land use development applications, such as rezonings, subdivisions, & annexations. Such inter- governmental agreements are called 28E Agreements. The City and County have a mutual interest in providing services in an effective and economic matter, while protecting and preserving the natural resources and environmentally sensitive features within this area. How did we get here? The existing 28E Fringe Area Agreement (FAA) with Johnson County was in place October 2006 to October 2021. The earliest agreement dates from the mid 1990's. Since 2006, the FAA has not been updated to reflect amendments to either the City (2013) and County (2018) Comprehensive Plans. In December of 2018, the County formally requested that staff begin the review of and replacement of the existing agreement. In January 2020, City Staff presented Council with the results of a build -out analysis upon which to structure the new agreement. Analysis &Justification Build Out Analysis Build out analysis conducted to determine the Growth Area's capacity to accommodate population and employment increases. The MPO projects an increase of 22,000 new residents and 23,000 new jobs by 2045 (from 2017). Build -Out Key Findings: High density build out accommodates projected growth Relies heavily on redevelopment of Riverfront Crossings What does the proposed agreement include? Provides more process -oriented direction than the existing FAA. Review processes dependent upon whether a property lies inside or outside of the City's Growth Area. Additional review authority for the City within the Growth Area More control for the County outside of the Growth Area. With exceptions for specific subareas, the City's Comprehensive Plan will serve as the basis for City recommendations to the County for Future Land Use Map Amendments and rezonings within the Growth Area. Five subareas have their own land use policy direction and reflect their existing conditions/transitions. Growth Area Expansions Despite build out analysis results, there are still reasons to consider Growth Area expansion: Potential future gateways into the City. Highway adjacency & access areas that are primed for development. Planned commercial or industrial future land uses in Johnson County. Sewerability. Adjacency to areas envisioned for residential or commercial development, per the City's Comprehensive Plan. Preservation of sensitive areas. Proposing expansion of Growth Area in five locations. Urban Design Standards Urban Design Standards = City's Subdivision Regulations The standards ensure that development can be adapted to City infrastructure upon annexation. Specific requirements pertaining to: Streets & Circulation Drainage Utility Connections Fire Safety Erosion Control Construction drawings for subdivisions located within the Growth Area must include detail regarding how septic sewer treatment systems and wells can adapt to City infrastructure types upon annexation.

Circumstances have changed and/or additional information or factors have come to light such that the proposed amendment is in the public interest 2. The proposed amendment will be compatible with other policies or provisions of the comprehensive plan, including any district plans or other amendments thereto. Circumstances have changed and/or additional information or factors have come to light such that the proposed amendment is in the public interest Changes have occurred since adoption of the Southwest District Plan (2002) • Recent development includes new homes, higher intensity public uses, and the introduction of commercial uses • The subject properties were in a holding pattern until infrastructure was available Commercial uses were discouraged at the Melrose/218 interchange • Concern in 1983 that development could not be supported at both interchanges • The metro has experienced rapid growth since then, especially to the northwest, which makes the US -218 corridor increasingly important The revised amendment is in the public interest • Vacant land for intensive commercial uses is not meeting the needs of users in the City (most are small parcels or already developed) • Based on expected future growth, there is a need for additional intensive commercial areas, and the subject properties have good highway access • Iowa City is different from how it was in 2002 and very different from 1983 Circumstances have changed and/or additional information or factors have come to light Current Circumstances Before 1990, the area was relatively undeveloped A few homes on Rohret Road Public uses on Melrose (County Historic Poor Farm) Southwest District Plan (adopted 2002) Housing was developing west and north of Rohret Road The Comprehensive Plan was from 1997, which was the first to extend the City's growth boundary from Slothower to future 965 (showed site's future use as interim development/rural residential) Policy discouraging commercial uses at Melrose/218 interchange Focuses commercial/industrial dev't at Hwy 1/218 interchange due to concern that it could not be supported in both areas Adopted in 1983 Comprehensive Plan (when 218 was being built) Maintained public uses directly west of the Melrose interchange Not explicit in current Plan (2013), but it is reflected in the future land use map (rural residential) and the 2006 Fringe Area Agreement Circumstances have changed and/or additional information or factors have come to light Recent development indicates changing circumstances: Development continued especially after Camp Cardinal Blvd was built in 2007 More intense uses allowed east of the interchange with 3 CPAs that introduced Office Commercial, Medium Density Residential (8-16 DU/Acre), and General Commercial future land uses Public uses west of the interchange intensified, including the new Iowa National Guard Readiness Center, the Joint Emergency Communications Center, and the Johnson County SEATS facility Housing development also continued east of Slothower It is in the public interest is to explore future uses The site has been in a holding pattern since the 1997 Comprehensive Plan Infrastructure was not expected to be available which would prevent urban development Application shows that the property can be serviced Circumstances have changed and/or additional information or factors have come to light such that the proposed amendment is in the public interest Rapid growth and population redistribution in the last 30 years constitutes a change in circumstances: Iowa City grew by 25%, but other metro cities grew by 229% (especially North Liberty and Coralville) Iowa City has decreased as a proportion of the metro The center of population has shifted northwest, which makes the US -218 corridor increasingly important Growth is expected to continue; uses must grow to accommodate demand Population Change from 1990-2020 Iowa City Other Metro Cities Remainder of County Johnson County Iowa City as % of Metro 1990 2000 2010 2020 Change (#) Change (%) 59,735 62,220 67,862 74,828 +15,093 +25% 14,775 22,452 35,279 48,537 +33,762 +229% 21,609 26,334 27,741 29,489 +7,880 +36% 96,119 111,006 130,882 152,854 +56,735 +59% 80.2% 73.5% 65.8% 60.7% Circumstances have changed and/or additional information or factors have come to light such that the proposed amendment is in the public interest Request to change the future land use to intensive commercial Sales and service businesses characterized by outdoor uses, large-scale repair/sales, or unenclosed operations, including limited retail trade Residential areas need to be buffered (allows commercial & light industrial) Current vacant land does not meet the needs of users in the City —398 acres of land zoned for intensive commercial (CI -1) with 13% vacancy —45 acres is expected to develop (most is <2 -acre parcels) Others vacant parcels allow similar uses, but they are primarily positioned to attract railroad users (not highway users) MidAmerican Energy has had challenges finding an appropriate site Land Uses Current Zonin : Acres Current Vacant Acres Current Vacanc Rate General Commercial Highway Commercial Intensive Commercial Industrial Other Commercial Total Commercial/Industrial 322.84 64.22 20.04 8.99 6% 14% trWir 397.96 51.23 13% 837.74 453.63 217.50 131.43 2,076.39 429.19 26% 29% 21% Circumstances have changed and/or additional information or factors have come to light such that the proposed amendment is in the public interest By 2040, Iowa City is expected to grow to 94,000 people (+26%) If demand increases at same rate, —500 acres needed for intensive commercial There is a 58+ -acre gap in supply (much of the area for future growth is occupied) Staff anticipates a relatively stable demand for intensive commercial uses Current patterns are changing (online retail, declining brick and mortar stores, etc.) o Light industrial uses fulfill demand associated with logistics and online purchasing Staff anticipates MidAmerican Energy will utilize a portion of the site Based on projected demand and the site, the amendment is in the public interest Land Uses all fi : ures in acres Curren Zonin Expecte Additions* Expected Losses** Land Potenti General Commercial 322.84 Highway Commercial Intensive Commercial Industrial Other Commercial Total Commercial/Industrial +10.70 - 40.81 -30.11 292.73 64.22 +0.00 -0.00 +0.00 64.22 r- 397.96 +107.91 837.74 +300.79 453.63 2,076.39 +613.07 +1,032.47 -63.43 - 14.07 -0.24 -118.55 +44.48 442.44 +286.72 1,124.46 +612.83 +913.92 *Expected additions: Land shown on the future land use map which is not currently zoned for that use. **Expected losses: Land currently zoned for a use that is not expected to be developed as that use based on the future land use map. 1,066.46 2,990.31 � - : iELk•:-)SE A'•.`E E N'JK:LN r;

Compatibility with other policies or provisions of the comprehensive plan, including any district plans or other amendments Aligns generally with existing plans and policies Southwest District Plan: Provides for contiguous development with infrastructure access that is appropriate given proximity to major streets and the landfill Comprehensive Plan: Allows targeted non-residential development to meet future needs on land in the growth area with ready highway access Fringe Area Agreement: Allows non-residential development in the interchanges of paved roads if annexed prior to development Policy differences to be reconciled: Discouraging commercial uses at Melrose/US-218: The area by the interchange will remain public and the subject properties are appropriate for proposed uses Encouraging new businesses in existing areas: Existing commercial areas do not meet all users' needs and additional areas are required to meet future needs Some plan goals will be met through rezoning conditions and standards (discouraging strip commercial uses and protecting sensitive areas) The revised amendment continues to meet this standard Compatibility with other policies or provisions of the comprehensive plan, including any district plans or other amendments Aligns with much of the Southwest District Plan Weber policy direction Slated for Future Urban Development until infrastructure was available Transportation vision: US -965 (west), Slothower (east), & Melrose (north) Development is contiguous from Slothower to US -965 (no leap -frogging) Transition from landfill/US-965 to intensive commercial to residential Additional buffering can be accommodated through rezoning Aligns with goals and objectives in the Comprehensive Plan District Plans identify appropriate location for commercial development to meet the needs of future population Identify land for industrial uses with ready access to rail and highways Target industrial and business sectors that align with Iowa City's economic strengths (advanced manufacturing, renewable energy, etc.) Focus growth in the urban growth area by using the City's extra -territorial review powers to discourage sprawl and preserve prime farmland Compatibility with other policies or provisions of the comprehensive plan, including any district plans or other amendments Aligns with the Fringe Area Agreement (Growth Area C) Commercial/industrial development south/southwest of the airport, and in interchanges of paved roads, to be annexed prior to development The property is at paved intersections and applied for annexation Should align with revised Fringe Area Agreement (to be considered shortly) Some differences in policy need to be reconciled: Intensive commercial diverges from the policy against commercial encroachment near the Melrose/218 interchange. However: The area nearest the interchange will remain dedicated to public use The use meets goals related to identifying appropriate areas for development A new commercial area does not encourage new businesses in existing commercial areas. However: Existing commercial areas do not seem to accommodate certain users (initially considered because MidAmerican Energy has not found appropriate site) There is a need for new intensive commercial areas to meet future needs Compatibility with other policies or provisions of the comprehensive plan, including any district plans or other amendments Some Comprehensive Plan goals must be met through rezoning conditions and standards for sensitive areas and site development: Discourage linear strip commercial development that discourages walking and biking and does not contribute to the development of compact, urban neighborhoods. Guide development away from sensitive environmental areas, such as floodplains, wetlands, woodlands, steep slopes, flood hazard areas, and streams. Overall, staff finds that the proposed amendment is compatible with the policies in the Comprehensive Plan Implementing it requires annexing the property and rezoning the property The rezoning and annexation should include conditions to ensure all goals of the Comprehensive Plan are met Annexation Criteria 1. The area under consideration falls within the adopted long-range planning boundary 2. Development in the area proposed for annexation will fulfill an identified need without imposing an undue burden on the City. 3.

C outside Growth Analysis - Annexation The area under consideration falls within the adopted long-range planning boundary. 11114111 I.VV RD Outside Growth Area Development in the area proposed for annexation will fulfill an identified need without imposing an undue burden on the City. Sanitary line can be extended to service the properties seeking CI-1 zoning. Capital improvements to IWV Road are underway, with the intent of bringing the road to urban arterial standards. Infill development within this stretch of roadway is expected and will utilize infill infrastructure improvements. Highway adjacency and potential lot size, make the subject properties appealing for future intensive commercial development. Subject properties are contiguous to city limits. Control of the development is in the City's best interest. The property is in the City's Growth Area, where annexation is anticipated and encouraged. It is appropriate for the subject properties to seek annexation upon development so that adequate City services are provided and development is of an urban rather than rural style and intensity. Rezoning Criteria- General 1. Compliance with the comprehensive plan 2. Compatibility with the existing neighborhood Zoning Case Background Annexation was successfully recommended for approval by a vote of 4- 1, at the Sept. 16, 2021 Commission meeting. Rezoning was also successfully recommended for approval by a vote of 5-0. However, due to a failed vote on the Comprehensive Plan, revisions were submitted identifying a 350' vegetative buffer area between the intensive commercial uses and the southern adjacent property. Therefore, staff recommended two additional conditions to the rezoning application. One which was previously suggested by the P&Z and one to ensure the new vegetative buffer is provided. The revised rezoning was recommended for approval with the updated conditions at the October 21, 2021 Commission meeting by a vote of 5- 0.
