COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT:
Public Hearing to Consider the Request to Rezone the Property Located at 1405
Buckeye Avenue from G-C (General Commercial) to P-C (Planned Commercial).
ACTION FORM SUMMARY: This is a request to rezone property located at 1405
Buckeye Avenue from G-C (General Commercial) to P-C (Planned Commercial) .
The Planning and Zoning Commission and staff recommend approval of this
rezoning request with the lists of impermissible and permitted uses, as
described in this report.
BACKGROUND:
The applicant is requesting that the City of Ames rezone the subject property from
G-C (General Commercial) to P-C (Planned Commercial).
The legal description of this property is described as follows:
Lot 1, Second Addition to Southwood Subdivision
Phase 1 of the development of this property includes the recently constructed K-Mart
store (120,373 square feet) and 62,000 square feet of additional retail space, to be
constructed at a later time.
Phase 2 of the development is proposed to include 13,140 square feet of grocery
store space.
The rezoning is proposed to make possible the ownership of individual
buildings in a strip shopping center design. This is not possible with the current
G-C (General Commercial) zoning designation because a minimum side yard setback
of fifteen (15') feet is required between structures on adjacent properties. The strip
shopping center design would include the construction of contiguous buildings with no
side yard setbacks.
The list of possible land uses for the subject property, if it were rezoned to P-C
(Planned Commercial), are also permitted in the existing G-C (General Commercial)
zoning district.
ANALYSIS:
Zoning District. The property has been zoned as G-C (General Commercial) since
1980, prior to that it was zoned as C-2 (General Commercial) since 1966.
Existing Land Use/Zoning.

Land Use Policy Plan.
The following goals and policies of the Land Use Policy Plan apply to this LUPP
amendment proposal.
B. RESIDENTIAL
B.3. GOAL:
To locate new neighborhood facilities within reasonable walking distance of
all homes in the area to be served.
B.3.3. Policy:
Encourage development of mixed-use projects that combine residential,
commercial, and industrial uses in the same general area to allow persons
to live in proximity to employment and stores.
Mixed-use projects are encouraged in the Planned Commercial
District, and changes have been made in the General Commercial
(G-C) and Concentrated Commercial (C-C) sections of the Zoning
Ordinance to allow for more mixed-use projects in Commercial
Districts. Use of the PUD allows some flexibility for mixed-use
development in residential districts. The Zoning Ordinance also
allows for home occupations through the Special Permit process to
the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
2
C. COMMERCIAL
C.1.4. Policy
Adequate land will be designated for future community-oriented and
neighborhood-oriented commercial development.
C.1.5. Policy:
Commercial activity will be encouraged to develop adjacent to major
interchanges where traffic arterials will allow for safe ingress and egress.
Appropriate areas should be designated for new commercial
development. If specified areas cannot be designated, criteria should
be established that can be used to identify appropriate sites in
response to requests for zoning changes.
Utilities. Utilities are adequate to serve the proposed development.
Water. 12-inch (Southeast 16th Street)
8-inch (Buckeye Avenue)
Sanitary Sewer. 8-inch (Southeast 16th Street)
8-inch (Buckeye Avenue)
54-inch (Northwest Corner of Site)
Storm Sewer. 12 to 18-inch (Southeast 16th Street)
12 to 15-inch (Buckeye Avenue)
Access/Traffic Impact. The site will be served by two (2) accesses from Buckeye
Avenue, and two (2) accesses from Southeast 16th Street.
The western most access onto Southeast 16th Street is restricted to right in/right out
movements, only, and is for use by delivery and service vehicles. The other access
onto Southeast 16th Street has no restrictions. Future consideration will be given to
installing traffic signals at this access if traffic demands warrant.
Accesses onto Buckeye Avenue have no restrictions. A traffic signal is planned for
installation in the coming months at the intersection of Chestnut Street and Buckeye
Avenue.
3
Impermissible Uses. At the time the property is zoned P-C, a list of impermissible
uses, from those listed in the zoning ordinance, must be established for that site. For
this particular site, the following list of impermissible uses is proposed:
1. Hotel/Motel;
2. Gasoline Service Station;
3. Dwelling; and
4. Residential Corrections Facility.
Permitted Uses. The following list of permitted uses is proposed:
1. Apothecary Shop;
2. Barber Shop;
3. Beauty Shop;
4. Business Office;
5. Grocery, Fruit or Vegetable Store;
6. Professional Office;
7. Restaurant
8. Retail Store (for specific and general merchandise);
9. Studio (photography, artist, dance, or musician); and
10. Other Similar Retail and Service Establishments.
The list of impermissible and permitted uses is consistent with the type of land uses
allowed in commercial shopping areas throughout the community.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The property owners of the subject property would be the primary beneficiaries of the
rezoning to P-C since this would allow the construction of buildings on separately
owned parcels of land without the requirement for minimum side yard setbacks
between buildings on adjacent properties. The current G-C zoning for this property
allows the land uses that are permitted in P-C zoning districts, but not the proposed
building design.
The proposed rezoning of the subject property from G-C (General Commercial) to P-C
(Planned Commercial) does not further any planning objectives of the City, since the
type of land uses allowed in a P-C zoning district are also allowed by the current G-C
zoning designation. However, the proposed P-C zoning, with a strip shopping center
design, is not problematic for the City. P-C zoning and the development design would
not be contrary to the goals and objectives in the LUPP.
A G-C (General Commercial) zoning district is intended for a wide range of
commercial land uses. P-C (Planned Commercial) district has a more limited list of
possible land uses, which are intended for areas of special sensitivity to accommodate
planned and systematic development of relatively large tracts of previously
undeveloped land.
4
If the P-C rezoning proposal is approved, this will establish two distinct development
patterns in the immediate vicinity, including the subject property. Surrounding
properties to the north and east are developed with individually-owned, free-standing
buildings on platted lots that include building setbacks, from property lines resulting in
open space on each property. The subject property would be developed in a more
compact form with the contiguous building design of a strip commercial center. Open
space would be limited as compared to surrounding properties.
In summary, the proposed development of the site under a P-C zoning
classification does not greatly benefit nor hinder the City's planning objectives
for this commercial area, but rezoning would clearly further the development
objectives of the applicant.
The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this request at their meeting of May
18, 1994 and recommended that it be approved.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The City Council can approve of this request to rezone the subject property from
G-C (General Commercial) to P-C (Planned Commercial) with the list of
impermissible uses described above.
2. The City Council can deny approval of this request to rezone the subject
property from G-C (General Commercial) to P-C (Planned Commercial) with the
list of impermissible uses described above.
3. The City Council can approve this request and modify the list of impermissible
uses.
4. The City Council can table this request and refer it back to City staff and/or the
application for additional information.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that City Council adopt Alternative #1.
This will approve the rezoning request from G-C (General Commercial) to P-C
(Planned Commercial) with the list of impermissible uses as proposed.
