Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP) Map. The property is designed as Planned Industrial on
the LUPP Map.
Land Use Policy Plan. The following goals and policies of the Land Use Policy Plan
(LUPP) apply to this rezoning request:
1996 LAND USE POLICY PLAN
Goal No. 1. Recognizing that additional population and economic growth is likely, it is
the goal of Ames to plan for and manage growth within the context of the community's
capacity and preferences. It is the further goal of the community to manage its growth
so that it is more sustainable, predictable and assures quality of life.
Objectives. In managing growth, Ames seeks the following objectives:
1 .A. Ames seeks to diversify the economy and create a more regional
employment and market base. While continuing to support its existing
economic activities, the community seeks to broaden the range of private
and public investment.
1 .B. Ames seeks to integrate its growth with an economic development strategy
for the Central Iowa region.
1 .C. Ames seeks to manage a population and employment base that can be
supported by the community's capacity for growth. A population base of
60,000-62,000 and an employment base of up to 34,000 is targeted within
the City. Additionally, it is estimated that the population in the combined City
and unincorporated Planning Area would be as much as 67,000 and the
employment base could be as much as 38,000 by the year 2030.
2
Consistency of the Rezoning Proposal with Goal No. 1.
Rezoning of the subject property is consistent with Goal No. 1 and the objectives for
this goal in that the subject property would be an expansion of the existing ISU
Research Park, which contributes to diversification of the economy and the regional
employment and market base. Extension of utilities to serve this area is within the
capabilities of the water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer and electric utilities.
Goal No. 2. In preparing for the target population and employment growth, it is the goal
of Ames to assure the adequate provision and availability of developable land. It is the
further goal of the community to guide the character, location and compatibility of
growth with the area's natural resources and rural areas.
Objectives. In assuring and guiding areas for growth, Ames seeks the following
objectives.
2.A. Ames seeks to provide between 3,000 and 3,500 acres of additional
developable land within the present City and Planning Area by the year
2030. Since the potential demand exceeds the supply within the current
corporate limits, alternative sources shall be sought by the community
through limited intensification of existing areas while concentrating on the
annexation and development of near areas. The use of existing and new
areas should be selective rather than general.
2.B. Ames seeks to assure the availability of sufficient suitable land resources to
accommodate the range of land uses that are planned to meet growth.
Sufficient land resources shall be sought to eliminate market constraints.
The future land use allocation indicates that an additional 225 - 275 acres are needed
to support the City's Planned Industrial land use needs.
Consistency of the Rezoning Proposal with Goal No. 2.
Goal No. 2 states that, "...it is the goal of Ames to assure the adequate provision and
availability of developable land". Rezoning of this property will contribute to the
availability of land in the ISU Research Park. The rezoning of this land is in an area
where the future land use map indicates Planned Industrial uses should occur.
Additionally, the number of acres proposed to be rezoned is well within the projected
acres as seen by the Land Use Policy Plan.
Goal No. 5. It is the goal of Ames to establish a cost-effective and efficient growth
pattern for development in new areas and in a limited number of existing areas for
intensification. It is a further goal of the community to link the timing of development
with the installation of public infrastructure including utilities, multi-model transportation
system, parks and open space.
3
Objectives. In defining the growth pattern and timing of development, Ames seeks the
following objectives.
5.A. Ames seeks to establish priority areas for growth in which there are
adequate and available land resources and infrastructure to meet the major
development requirements through the year 2030.
5.B. Ames seeks to attract public and private capital investment in the priority
areas for growth on a concurrency basis (i.e. having infrastructure available
at the time of development approval). Public capital improvements (e.g.
trunk lines and a major street system) should be used to leverage the
location of development and the availability of land.
5.C. Ames seeks the continuation of development in emerging and infill areas
where there is existing public infrastructure and where capacity permits.
Consistency of the Rezoning Proposal with Goal No. 5.
Goal No. 5 is to, "...establish a cost-effective and efficient growth pattern for
development in new areas, and ...to link the timing of development with the installation
of public infrastructure including utilities...". The proposed rezoning is consistent with
this goal and the objectives in that the rezoning is a logical extension of the ISU
Research Park development in a priority growth area for the community with planned
installation of utilities. This rezoning is part of an overall strategy of both public
investment and private investment that is necessary for the continued development of
the Research Park.
Goal No. 9. It is the goal of Ames to promote expansion and diversification of the
economy in creating a base that is more self-sufficient and that is more sustainable with
regard to the environment.
Objectives. In creating an economic base that is more self-sufficient and
environmentally sustainable, Ames seeks the following objectives.
9.A. Ames seeks more diversified regional employment opportunities involving
technology-related services and production, office centers and retail centers.
9.C. Ames seeks to expand its research and technology development through
greater private, public and university coordination and cooperation.
9.D. Ames seeks economic activities that are compatible and sustainable with its
environment.
4
Consistency of the Rezoning Proposal with Goal No. 9.
Goal No. 9 promotes expansion and diversification of the economy.
Technology-related businesses that would come from development of the subject
property are consistent with the objectives of this goal.
Street Infrastructure. Existing streets include: Airport Road on the north, Elwood
Drive on the west and Riverside Drive on the east. A new street, South Loop Drive, is
proposed to extend through the property and connect with North Loop Drive, north of
Airport Road.
Utilities. The utilities can be extended to serve the proposed subdivision.
Water Distribution.
Existing. There is an 8-inch water main that crosses to the south side of
Airport Road (east of North Loop Drive), an 8-inch water main along the
north side of Airport Road (west of North Loop Drive) and a 12-inch water
main in Elwood Drive (north of Airport Road).
An 8-inch water main will be extended south from Airport Road into the
subject property, and a 12-inch water main will be extended from the Elwood
Drive/Airport Road intersection to the southern limits of the property.
Sanitary Sewer.
Existing and Proposed. The existing sanitary sewer that will serve this
property is located east of Riverside Drive and terminates at Airport Road.
A new sanitary sewer trunk line will be extended by the City across the
Municipal Airport property to the site. It will then be extended generally in a
southwesterly direction to the limit of the property being annexed. This
sewer would be 15-inches in diameter on the eastern portion of the site and
12-inches in diameter on the western portion of the site.
An 8-inch sanitary sewer main will be extended within the property as part of
the subdivision of the land.
Storm Water Management. A storm water management plan has been devised
for the site that will take the storm water to storm sewer mains installed as part of
the development of the property, or to the unnamed creek that is adjacent and
south of the subject property. The development of this property will require a
storm water management design that will meet the established requirements of
the City.
Electric. This property will be served by the Ames Municipal Electric Utility.
There is adequate capacity from the electric utility to serve this site.
The City will extend electric distribution lines to the platted area.
5
Fire Department Response Time. The estimated fire department response time is 5.5
minutes to the intersection of Oakwood Road and Elwood Drive (on the perimeter of the
subject property). Five (5) minutes is the standard the fire service uses for fire and first
aid response.
Access/Traffic Impact. Approval of a subdivision plat for the subject property would
include access from a new street, South Loop Drive. Traffic from the subject property
will access South Loop Drive, Airport Road and Elwood Drive.
P-1 Plan. The property owners must submit a P-1 Plan for Phase II of the Iowa State
Research Park to include the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions for the Iowa
State University Research Park. This would be an extension of the P-1 (Planned
Industrial) master plan that was approved for Phase I of the development. The P-1
master plan must be approved prior to approval of the Final Plat for the Third Addition.
STAFF COMMENTS:
Staff believes the proposed rezoning is consistent with the LUPP Map designation and
the LUPP goals and objectives. Therefore, the subject property should be rezoned to
allow expansion of the Iowa State Research Park.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this request at their meeting of
September 4, 1996 and recommended that this request be approved.
ALTERNATIVES:
1 . The City Council can approve the request to rezone 42.53 acres of land, generally
located south of Airport Road, east of Elwood Drive and west of Riverside Drive.
2. The City Council can deny the request to rezone 42.53 acres of land, generally
located south of Airport Road, east of Elwood Drive and west of Riverside Drive.
3. The City Council can approve the request to rezone 42.53 acres of land, generally
located south of Airport Road, east of Elwood Drive and west of Riverside Drive,
with modifications.
4. Action on this request can be postponed and referred back to City staff and/or the
applicant for additional information.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended that Alternative #1 be adopted. Alternative #1 is approval of the
request to rezone 42.53 acres of land, generally located south of Airport Road, east of
Elwood Drive and west of Riverside Drive.
