profitable and that he proposes to change the use oto an auto sales lot.
Staff reviewed the surrounding zoning and land use, the zoning requirements for an
auto sales lot, and that a variance and a conditional use will be necessary from the
Zoning Board of Adjustment if the rezoning is approved.
There were no public comments.
Masterpiece on the Mississippi

REZONING STAFF REPORT Zoning Agenda: June 1, 2011
Property Address: 1987 Washington Street
Property Owner: Dan Wolff
Applicant: Mark Lightcap
Proposed Land Use: Auto Sales Proposed Zoning: C -4
Existing Land Use: Car Wash Existing Zoning: C -2
Adjacent Land Use: North — Single- and Multi - Family Residential & Commercial
East — Commercial
South — Commercial, Single- & Multi - Family Residential
West - Commercial

South — C -2
West — C- 2 /R -2A
Former Zoning: 1934 — LI; 1975 — C -4; 1985 — C -2; 1985 — C -2
Total Area: 7,000 square feet
Property History: The property was subdivided circa 1860 as part of the original city
mineral Tots. The property was used for a number of purposes until 1991 when the
property was cleared and a car wash was built. The property has served as a car wash
to the present.
Physical Characteristics: The property is a level 7,000 square foot lot with 100 feet of
frontage along 20 Street and 70 feet of frontage along Washington Street. The
property is bordered on the west side by an alley and on the south by a commercial
building. The property is fully paved with has driveway access onto Washington Street
and the alley.
Concurrence with Comprehensive Plan: The Future Land Use map calls for this
property to remain mixed - commercial. The Comprehensive Plan recommends
providing adequate commercial redevelopment sites and also recommends buffering
incompatible uses from each other.
Impact of Request on:
Rezoning Staff Report — 1987 Washington Street Page 2
Utilities: Existing utilities are adequate to serve the site.
Traffic Patterns /Counts: The 2005 Iowa Department of Transportation traffic
counts indicate 9,400 vehicle trips per day on 20 Street adjacent to the subject
property.
Public Services: Existing public services are adequate to serve the site.
Environment: Staff does not anticipate any adverse impact to the environment as
the site is full paved.
Adjacent Properties: The uses permitted in a C -4 District are generally no more
intense than those allowed in the C -2 District. This property is located in a mixed -
use area adjacent to a restaurant, convenience store, commercial storage and retail
outlet with some residential use beyond. The uses permitted in the C -4 District
should have very little additional impact on the adjacent properties.
CIP Investments: None proposed.
Staff Analysis: The applicant is proposing to rezone an approximately 7,000 square
foot parcel located on a corner lot at the intersection of Washington and 20 Streets
from C -2 Neighborhood Commercial Shopping Center district to C -4 Downtown
Commercial district. The property is located in a mixed -use area and is surrounded by
commercial uses. One lot removed from the subject property there are a number of
single- and multi - family residences.
The subject lot is level, fully paved and has access onto Washington Street and an alley.
There is no parking permitted along the subject property on both the Washington and
20 Streets frontages. The applicant's intent is to redevelop the property as an auto
sales dealership.
In a C -4 District all auto sales dealerships must be granted a conditional use permit
through the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Also, auto sales dealerships must be a
minimum of 20,000 square feet in lot area. Therefore, this property would also require
a variance in lot area from the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
Staff recommends that the Zoning Advisory Commission review the criteria established
in Article 9 -5 of the Unified Development Code regarding reclassification of property.
