DATE: 4-1-15
COMMISSION ACTION FORM
REQUEST: Rezone from Government-Airport (S-GA) to Campustown Service Center
(CSC) property located at 2622 Lincoln Way, 130 S. Sheldon Avenue and
119 Hayward Avenue.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Collegiate United Methodist Church, located at 2622 Lincoln Way owns multiple
parcels fronting on Lincoln Way, Sheldon Avenue, and Hayward Avenue. The majority
of the site is currently zoned Campustown Service Center (CSC). In 2007 the Church
purchased two properties from Iowa State University abutting College Creek (130 S.
Sheldon and 119 Hayward). These properties were platted but never rezoned to the
CSC zone to match the rest of the church properties. The Church is also asking to
rezone a sliver of land along the south property line of the main church property (2622
Lincoln Way), which appears to have been an inconsistency of the zoning district line to
the property line at the time of adoption of the new zoning map in May of 2000. The
location and existing zoning of the properties are shown on Attachment 1.
The request is to rezone three parcels. The first parcel, 130 S. Sheldon, is a .37 acre
parcel located south of the Lighthouse Baptist Campus Ministry property and east of the
existing Collegiate Methodist Church and Wesley Foundation Annex. The second
parcel, 119 Hayward Avenue, is a .11 acre parcel, located along the eastern boundary
of the church properties, south of US Bank and church parking lot and north of College
Creek. The third parcel proposed for rezoning is a .06 acre sliver of property 1.93 acre
along the southern boundary of 2622 Lincoln Way, the main church parcel.
The owner seeks to rezone the three parcels to Campustown Service Center (CSC) in
order to unify the site in zoning classification with the intent of constructing an accessory
maintenance garage and shop building for the church within the interior of the site in an
area that would cross current zoning and property lines. To place a structure in this
location the zoning lines and property lines must be adjusted. Ultimately a lot
consolidation is planned which will require approval of a Plat of Survey by the City
Council. Based on the intended size of the accessory structure a Special Use Permit for
the construction of the maintenance garage and potential variances may be need to
meet the development and design standards of the CSC zone. The Special Use Permit
and any variances will require approval of the Zoning Board of Adjustment prior to
construction.
A full analysis of the rezoning petition is included in the attached addendum.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The Planning and Zoning Commission can recommend that the City Council
approve the request for rezoning of the properties at 130 S. Sheldon Avenue, 119
Hayward Avenue and 2622 Lincoln Way from Government-Airport (S-GA) to
1
Campustown Service Center (CSC), based upon staff's findings and conclusions as
found in the addendum.
2. The Planning and Zoning Commission can recommend that the City Council deny
the request for rezoning from Government-Airport (S-GA) to Campustown Service
Center (CSC) if the Commission finds that the City's regulations and policies are not
met.
3. The Planning and Zoning Commission can defer action on this request and refer it
back to City staff and/or the applicant for additional information.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
As noted in the attached addendum, the proposed rezoning is consistent with the Land
Use Policy Plan land use designations and policies. Therefore, we recommend that the
Planning and Zoning Commission act in accordance with Alternative #1, which is to
recommend that the City Council approve the request for rezoning from Government-
Airport (S-GA) to Campustown Service Center (CSC), based upon staff's findings and
conclusions as found in the addendum.
ADDENDUM
REZONING BACKGROUND:
Existing Land Use Policy Plan. The LUPP designation of the entire subject area is
Downtown Service Center. This designation applies to the entire area lying south of
Lincoln Way from S. Sheldon Avenue to Lynn Avenue (Campustown). An LUPP map of
the immediate area can be found in Attachment B. Back in 2006 this area was rezoned
to a new CSC zone separate from downtown, created from what was previously known
as the Downtown/Campustown Service Center (DCSC) zone. The proposed rezoning
is in compliance with the existing Land Use designation of the properties.
Existing Zoning. This rezoning is not intended to change the current use of the subject
properties. The religious institution and accessory structures uses with remain on the
properties. The subject parcels are currently zoned Government/Airport (S-GA). The
remaining Collegiate United Methodist Church properties are zoned Campustown
Service Center (CSC), as are the abutting properties to the east and west. The
intermodal facility located south and the ISU campus north of the subject sites is zoned
Government/Airport.
Existing Uses of Land. Land uses that occupy the subject property and other
surrounding properties are described in the following table:
Direction from Existing Land Uses
Subject Property
Subject Property Permitted and Accessory Religious Uses
North Iowa State University
East Commercial
South College Creek, Intermodal Facility
West Mixed commercial and multifamily residential
Infrastructure. The Development Review Committee considered this site and found
that it is fully served by City infrastructure. Sanitary sewer and water are available, as is
electric services. Additional easements may be needed to accommodate the proposed
location of the future accessory building which will be determined at the time of Site
Plan review.
Access. Access is provided to the site from Lincoln Way, Hayward Avenue and
Sheldon Avenue through existing access points and no traffic improvements are
anticipated.
Applicant's Statements. The applicant has provided an explanation of the rezoning in
Attachment C.
Findings of Fact. Based upon an analysis of the proposed rezoning and laws pertinent
to the applicant's request, staff makes the following findings of fact:
3
1. Ames Municipal Code Section 29.1507(2) allows owners of 50 percent or more of
the area of the lots in any district desired for rezoning to file an application
requesting that the City Council rezone the property. The property represented by
the applicant is entirely under one ownership representing 100 percent of the
property requested for rezoning.
2. The subject property has been designated on the Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP)
Future Land Use Map as "Downtown Services Center."
3. The "Downtown Services Center" land use designation already supports the "CSC
Campustown Service Center" zoning designation. Under the "CSC" zoning
designation religious institutions and accessory structures and garages larger
than 900 square feet are permitted with approval of a Special Use Permit by the
Zoning Board of Adjustment.
4. Infrastructure is adequate to serve the site. The owner will need to obtain any
necessary easements for service line connections to the site.
5. Existing access to this site will remain from Lincoln Way, South Sheldon Avenue
and Hayward Avenue.
Public Notice. Notice was mailed to property owners within 200 feet of the subject site
and a sign was posted on the subject property. As of this writing, no comments have
been received.
Conclusions. Based upon the analysis in this report, staff concludes that the proposed
rezoning of the subject property is consistent with the Future Land Use Map, as well as
the Goals and Objectives of the City of Ames Land Use Policy Plan.

Attachment C: Applicant's Statement
Collegiate United Methodist Church
Re-Zoning Request, February 27, 2015
Checklist Items
Reason for Requesting Rezoning:
The Church desires to consolidate all nine parcels of land currently owned into one
parcel. The two parcels labeled "E"and "F"were purchased from Iowa State University
in March of 2007 and at the time of purchased were zoned SG-A. The third parcel
labeled as "Lots 1, 3 and 8"currently has approximately 98% of the land zoned as CSC
and the remainding portion along the very south edge zoned at SG-A. In order to
proceed with the consolidation process all lots will need to be zoned the same.
Consistency of this rezoning with the Land Use Policy Plan
The rezoning will not change the use of this land as the property use will remain a
religious organization and consistent with the currently Land Use Policy Plan
designating this area as Downtown Services Center.
Current Zoning of the property:
Parcel "E"and "F"are zoned SG-A and approximately 2% of the parcel labeled as Lots
1, 3 and 8 is zoned SG-A with remaining 98%zoned CSC.
Proposed Zoning of the Property
All three parcel would be zoned CSC.
Proposed Use of Property
The use of the property would not change and continue to be utilized as a religious
organization.
