COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: SET PUBLIC HEARING DATE FOR WALNUT RIDGE MIXED USE
URBAN REVITALIZATION AREA AT 3505 AND 3515 LINCOLN
WAY
BACKGROUND:
Turn Key Development, LLC, and Chuck Winkleblack, property owners, are requesting
the designation of 3505 and 3515 Lincoln Way as an Urban Revitalization Area. The
subject site consists of two properties with a total area of 2.23 acres that are zoned
Highway Oriented Commercial with the Lincoln Way Mixed Use Overlay. The site was
recently approved for development as a mixed-use project with 10,912 square feet of
commercial uses on the ground floor and 18 apartments. A location map is found in
Attachment A.
The history of the site includes a prior use as a mobile home park that the current
property owner removed with the intent of developing a small subdivision to the north
and commercial development on the subject area. The property owner requested
determination by City Council in June 2008 that the site was underutilized as described
in the City's former policy for commercial tax abatement for HOC zoned property. City
Council adopted a resolution in 2008 recognizing redevelopment of the subject site with
the commercial area as meeting the underutilized threshold of the 2008 Commercial
Policy. However, no formal designation of the site as an Urban Revitalization Area
occurred at that time.
On October 27, City Council directed staff to proceed with creation of an Urban
Revitalization Area for the project. The Council directed that the Major Site
Development Plan (approved by City Council in September 2015) be established as the
criteria for the revitalization area with the addition of criteria requiring participation in the
Crime Free Housing Programs with the Police Department.
URBAN REVITALIZATION PLAN:
The draft Walnut Ridge Mixed Use Urban Revitalization Plan (Attachment B)
meets state requirements and also includes qualifying criteria. These criteria are
found in Attachment 3 of the Urban Revitalization Plan and require substantial
conformance to the Major Site Development Plan approved by Council and
participation in the Ames Crime Free Housing program. The draft plan also
identifies that it will expire on December 31, 2021.
If City Council is satisfied with the draft Urban Revitalization Plan and qualifying criteria,
it must next set a public hearing date to consider approval of the plan. The next
available Council meeting that meets public notice requirements is March 22, 2016. At
the March 22 meeting, the City Council will conduct a public hearing, act on a resolution
to approve the Urban Revitalization Plan, and act on the first reading of an ordinance
1
exempting the improvements from property taxes within the Urban Revitalization Area
for projects that meet the qualifying criteria.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. If the City Council accepts the draft Lincoln Way Mixed Use Urban Revitalization
Plan for 3505 and 3515 Lincoln Way, it can set March 22, 2016, as the date of the
public hearing for the adoption of the Plan and the approval of the Urban
Revitalization Area.
2. The City Council may amend the draft South Lincoln Way Mixed Use Urban
Revitalization Plan for 3505 and 3515 Lincoln Way and direct staff to set March 22,
2016, as the date of the public hearing for the adoption of the Plan and the approval
of the Urban Revitalization Area.
3. The City Council may choose not to proceed with establishing an Urban
Revitalization Area for the subject site.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The attached plan is in conformance with the direction that was given in October for
drafting an Urban Revitalization Plan for 3505 and 3515 Lincoln Way.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
Alternative #1 as described above.
