LAND USE POLICY PLAN(LUPP)DESIGNATION FOR
PROPERTY AT INTERSTATE 35 AND EAST 13TH STREET
FOR THE CITY OF AMES,IOWA
WHEREAS,on February 28,2006,the City Council referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission the
following: 1) that the LUPP be amended to classify the property described in Ordinance No. 3862 as some
classification other than Planned Regional Commercial in order to be more in accordance to the Land Use Policy
goals; 2)that Ordinance No. 3862 be repealed; and, 3)that Ordinance No. 3818,which added zoning regulations
of the Northeast Gateway Overlay District,be repealed; and,
WHEREAS,on January 27,2004,the Council approved a change to the LUPP Map to move the location
of the Regional Commercial land use designation from the northeast corner of the interchange of Interstate 35 and
Highway 30 north to the interchange of East 13'Street and I-35; and,
WHEREAS, leading up to that action, staff prepared an extensive analysis of the Regional Commercial
designation and recommended approval of the request to move the map location of this land use designation; and,
WHEREAS,that analysis and various other studies support the projected need for this commercial land use
over the next 25 years; and,
WHEREAS, staff found that there is not another single location available for the 375 to 400 acres of land
that this scale of commercial land use will require; and,
WHEREAS,the consequences ofnot accommodating regional land uses somewhere will be eitherunplanned
development in scattered locations and corridors or reduced growth of the community and the region; and,
WHEREAS, these consequences conflict with the community's growth management and economic
development objectives; and,
WHEREAS,after reviewing that analysis,it is staff s belief that it is still current and,therefore,maintains
its recommendation; and,
WHEREAS,with a vote of 6-1,the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the current Land
Use Policy Plan Map designation of Planned Regional Commercial on East 13' Street remain unchanged.
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,Iowa,that the change
in the Land Use Policy Plan designation from Planned Regional Commercial to Planned Industrial for property
