Comprehensive Plan
Amendment Criteria
1. 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

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

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

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. Control of the development is in
the City's best interest

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.

Rezoning Criteria
General:
1. Compliance with the comprehensive plan
2. Compatibility with the existing
neighborhood
Planned Development:
Density and design is compatible with
adjacent development
Development will not overburden
existing streets and utilities
3. Development will not adversely affect
views, property values, and privacy
4. Land use and building types will be in the
public interest
Consistency with
the
Comprehensive
Plan
South Central District Plan notes that
residential uses should be phased out of this
area.
However, since the District Plan was written,
McCollister Boulevard was extended south
of the subject property & the levee was
installed.
The IC2030 Comprehensive Plan also
indicates a need for affordable housing,
especially in areas with good access to parks
and other amenities.
Because the property is maintaining an
existing use, provides a relatively affordable
housing alternative, and has good access to
the street network, trails and open space, it
is staff's opinion a comprehensive plan
amendment is not necessary in order to
approve the OPD plan.
Compatibility

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.

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

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.

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.

Appendix A
Southwest District Plan Map besighations
Large Lot/Rural Residential
Suitable for large lot single family development in areas
not suited for more intensive development due to
natural limitations, i.e. soil, slope, unavailability of sewer
and water utilities.
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.

Intensive Commercial
Areas intended for those sales and service functions
and businesses whose operations are typically
characterized by outdoor display and storage of
merchandise, by repair businesses, quasi -industrial
uses, and for sales of Targe equipment or motor
vehicles, or by activities or operations conducted in
buildings or structure not completely enclosed. 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.

RESOLUTION NO.
Resolution to amend the Comprehensive Plan and approve a 28E Fringe
Area Policy Agreement between Johnson County and the City of Iowa City.
(CPA21-0003)
Whereas, the Comprehensive Plan serves as a land -use planning guide by illustrating and
describing the location and configuration of appropriate land uses throughout the City, provides
notification to the public regarding intended uses of land; and illustrates the long-range growth area
limit for the City; and
Whereas, if circumstances change and/or additional information or factors come to Tight, a
change to the Comprehensive Plan may be in the public interest; and
Whereas, circumstances have changed, including the adoption of the Johnson County
Comprehensive Plan in 2018, new City public infrastructure projects at the periphery of the city that
will accommodate new growth, and an interest in updating the City's land use plans to ensure a
diversity of housing types and highly interconnected street networks through form -based planning
principles; and
Whereas, Chapter 354, Code of Iowa (2021) allows the City of Iowa City to establish an
extraterritorial area, known as the fringe area, within two miles of the city boundaries for the purpose
of reviewing and approving subdivisions; and
Whereas, Chapter 354, Code of Iowa (2021) further grants the City the authority to require
that subdivisions within the fringe area adhere to the City's subdivision standards and conditions,
unless the City establishes alternative standards and conditions for review and approval of
subdivisions through a 28E agreement between the City and the County; and
"J
Whereas, Chapter 28E of the Code of Iowa (2021) enables two or more local._goyeyrnment
to enter into agreements to cooperate for their mutual advantage; and _ {
Whereas, pursuant to these powers, the City and County entered into a Fringe Area Policy
Agreement in 2006 (Resolution No. 06-318) governing the development of land within the,
extraterritorial area of Iowa City; and
r' J
Whereas, it is in the interest of the County and the City to establish policies for t orderly
growth and development within the City Fringe Area through an updated agreement; and
Whereas, 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; and
Whereas, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this amendment at its meeting on
October 7, 2021 and determined that circumstances changed to the extent that an amendment to
the comprehensive plan is warranted and the proposed 28E Agreement is compatible with other
policies or provisions of the comprehensive plan.
Now, Therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Iowa City, Iowa, that:
1. It is in the public interest to update the Comprehensive Plan to respond to changes in
circumstances in the City.

City Rural Design Standards
A. 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.

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.

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.

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.
