HomeMy WebLinkAboutA001 - Iowa State University Alumni Association letter requesting rezoning Ma rc h 13, 1978
The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Ames
Ames, Iowa 50010
Dear Messrs. and Mesdames:
The Iowa State University Alumni Association owns the property legally described on the
enclosed Requests for Rezoning.
It is the intention of the Iowa State University Alumni Association to petition the City of
Ames for rezoning of the land described in the Requests for Rezoning and shown on the
enclosed drawing.
The subject property was annexed into the City of Ames in 1976 and as a result of that
action it is currently zoned A-1 . It is our proposal to request rezoning of the east portion
of the property from A-1 to 1-1 in accordance with Section 38-1023, Ames Municipal Code,
and to request rezoning of the west portion of the property from A-1 to C-5 in accordance
with Section 38-1022, as amended Ames Municipal Code.
Originally in consultation with the staff we had concurred with their wish that we request
rezoning on the east portion of the site from A-1 to 1-3. It is our understanding that 1-3
does not allow Warehousing as a permitted use. With railway access to this portion of the
site we believe that Warehousing is a good and proper potential use, hence we feel the 1-1
zoning request to be reasonable and would result in the highest and best use.
With that background, we respectfully request the Council to refer this matter to the Plan
and Zoning Commission for their recommendations.
Sincerely,
4
