Sec. 13.401 PRIOR APPROVALS OF NONCOMPLIANT CONDITIONS (1) General. The City of Ames adopted the first Rental Housing Code in 1977.Beginning then,all rental dwellings were required to register with the City and be periodically inspected to assure continued compliance with minimummaintenance standards of that Code.Some rental dwellings established prior to enactment of the Code were not in compliance with one or more ofthe new standards.Mechanisms were created to evaluate such noncompliant conditions and approve those which could not,practicably,be made compliant,and were judged to have a minimal impact on public health and safety,or for which an equivalent alternative method of code compliance could be implemented to achieve the intent of the Code. The techniques used to resolve these cases were"Retroactive Conversion Permits","Board Variances",and"Administrative Approvals". Supp.2011-3 13-15 Rev.7-1-11 (2) Retroactive Conversion Permits. As inspections occurred,it was discovered that about 400 buildings had been previously converted from single family to multifamily dwellings,or otherwise remodeled,altered or improved without issuance of required building,electrical, mechanical,or plumbing permits and without zoning approval.Those 400 buildings were found to be noncompliant with one or more of about 20 of the new standards. In 1985,the City Council enacted an ordinance that"grandfathered"seven(7)of those code violations,based upon a conclusion they posed no threat to tenant health or safety and that correction would be impracticable.Approvals of the following seven(7)conditions were granted to each owner who made application and met conditions for a Retroactive Conversion Permit: (a) Minimum required ceiling height of seven(7)feet in habitable rooms. Some single family homes converted to include basement apartments were unable to meet this standard and approvals were granted for fixed obstructions such as beams,water and gas pipes,and ductwork that projected to not less than 6 feet 8 inches above the floor for more than 20%of the floor area of the room (b) Minimum room area.Some dwelling units were unable to meet the minimum room area square footage required by the new code. Such rooms were approvable provided square footage was not less than 75%of that required by the Code. (c) Minimum lot area. Some structures were built on small lots and unable to comply with the newer standards. (d) Building setbacks. Some structures located on small lots could not comply with newer required setbacks from property lines. (e) Lot frontage.Older structures on narrow lots could not comply with newer standards,and in many cases,houses were built entirely or partially behind one another,making it impossible to comply with newer codes. (f) Building height. (g) Minimumrequired window space for natural light and ventilation.Manybasement apartments were unable to meet this new standard,and approvals were granted for including`borrowed'light from adjoining rooms in required calculations, and accepting artificial illumination and mechanical ventilation in lieu of natural light and openable windows. (3) Board Variances. Since 1977,the Housing Appeal Board has evaluated cases involving noncompliant conditions other than those eligible for approval under the Retroactive Conversion Permit process. A number of approvals of specific noncompliant conditions were granted based upon the Board's conclusion they posed no threat to tenant health or safety and that correction would be impracticable,or that an equivalent method of compliance was provided that met the intent of the Code. (4) Administrative Approvals. Since 1977,the Building Official evaluated individual cases of noncompliant conditions in which correction would be impracticable,such as off-street parking.When it was concluded that such approvals would not create a health or safety hazard and that compliance with the letter of the code was not possible,Administrative Approvals were granted. Sec.13.402 PRIOR APPROVALS SHALL CONTINUE-CONDITIONS (1) General. All prior official approvals ofnoncompliant conditions,as detailed in Section 13.401,above,shall be granted continued approvals subject to the procedures of this section. (2) Pre-existing conditions. After the effective date of this Code, all conditions not in compliance with this Code at the time of inspection shall henceforth be known as Pre-existing Conditions. Such conditions shall be designated as either Approved or Non- approved. (3) Approved pre-existing conditions. An Approved Pre-existing Condition is a condition which received prior approval by any of the 3 methods detailed in Section 13.401, i.e., Retroactive Conversion Permit, Board Variance, or Administrative Approval, and will receive continued approval according to the following procedure: (a) The Building Official or designee shall identify the noncompliant condition at the time of an inspection and notify the owner. Supp.2011-3 13-16 Rev. 7-1-11 (b) The owner shall submit an original or a copy of the Retroactive Conversion Permit,Board Variance,or Administrative Approval issued by the City in regard to the specific condition approved and any provisions attached thereto.In the event the owner cannot produce the authorizing document,the Inspection Division shall conduct a reasonable search of City records for such authorizing document. (c) The Building Official shall verify that the condition has been maintained in a safe and otherwise code-compliant manner than that for which the approval was specifically granted.Example:where basement apartment ceiling height of 6 feet 8 inches was previously approved and documented, and such height has been maintained intact and not reduced as a result of structural deflection, failure, shoring, or other alteration of the floor system above or raising of the floor below. (d) Provided the required documentation is submitted or discovered,and the condition has been maintained, as described above, then such condition will be documented henceforth as an Approved Pre-existing Condition. (e) If not approvable,the Building Official shall notify the owner that continued approval cannot be granted,the reason therefore,and provide a reasonable time limit for the condition to be brought into compliance with this Code. (f) Retroactive Conversion Permits,Board Variances,or Administrative Approvals authorizing specific noncompliant conditions will be reviewed by the Building Official in accord with this procedure at or about the date of the regular periodic inspection performed in conjunction with expiration of the current Letter of Compliance. Retroactive Conversion Permits,Board Variances,or Administrative Approvals meeting the criteria of this Code shall be recorded henceforth as Approved Pre-existing Conditions. This process will occur during the four(4)year period commencing July 1, 2009 and ending June 30, 2013. Those conditions not specifically approved by Retroactive Conversion Permits,Board Variances,or Administrative Approvals,and which have not been updated in the Inspection Division records as Approved Pre-existing Conditions must be brought into compliance with this Code by the dates specified in the relevant sections of this Code. (g) Approvals transferable. A condition which is concluded to be an Approved Pre-existing Condition is transferable from one owner to another,provided such condition is maintained continuously in a safe and otherwise code-compliant manner.Failure to maintain the approved condition in a safe and otherwise compliant manner may result in termination of approval, and require compliance with current code provisions, following appropriate notification and hearing procedures of this Code. (h) Approvals not available for newly-registered dwellings.Conditions which were approved by Retroactive Conversion Permit, Board Variance, or Administrative Approval will not be approved for new rental registration applications.Newly registered rental properties must comply with all provisions of this Code at the time of initial registration and inspection. (4) Specific conditions approvable. In addition to approvable conditions as detailed above,the specific conditions listed below shall be approved subject to compliance with standards and procedures detailed in relevant specific sections of this Code: (a) Off-street parking. Approval of noncompliant numbers of parking spaces,location of parking spaces on property,and surface material of the parking area and driveway,may be granted. Exception: that area of the driveway between the curb and sidewalk known as the approach,must comply within the time limit specified elsewhere in this Code.

Only the original survey or plat of a lot or parcel approved by the applicable governing body shall be used for permitting purposes. If the retracement survey lines differ from the lot or parcel lines originally approved by the governing body,and if the proprietors of record wish to have the retracement lines recognized as the official lot or parcel lines for permitting purposes,they must submit application for a boundary line adjustment as defined in Section 23.308 of this Chapter. If the lot or parcel line difference is the result of an error in the original survey,the surveyor or proprietor may pursue correction of the error as provided in Section 23.310 of this Chapter. (Ord.No. 3999; 7-28-09) Sec.23.311. PLAT ERRORS AND CORRECTIONS. If an error is identified on an original plat,the surveyor may record an affidavit of error with the county Recorder pursuant to Code of Iowa Section 354.24,except that if the error results in a difference of more than 10%of the dimension of any line on the original plat,or results in a change of more than 10%of the lot or parcel area on the original plat,the error shall be considered substantial and may only be corrected by a replat of the official plat pursuant to Code of Iowa Section 354.25. A replat may be processed as a plat of survey under the provisions of Section 23.307 of this Chapter,or as a minor subdivision.

In the case of Special Purpose Districts and Overlay Zones,landscaping,screening,and buffer standards are set forth in the applicable Article. Any required landscaping,as for required setbacks or parking lots,may be applied toward the minimum landscaped area percentage requirement. Required landscaping and screening must meet the levels referenced in each applicable Zone Development Standards Table and this Ordinance as set forth in Section 29.403(l), below. (1) Landscaping and Screening Standards. (a) L1,General Landscaping. (i) Generally. The L 1 standard is a landscape treatment for open areas. It is generally intended to be applied in situations where distance is the principal means of separating uses or development and landscaping is required to enhance the area in between. While primarily consisting of ground cover plants, it also includes a mixture of trees,high shrubs and low shrubs. (ii) Required landscaping elements. The following landscaping elements must be applied Sup#2011-3 Chapter 29,Article 4-2 Rev.07-1-11 in the following ratios: a. If the area to be landscaped is less than 30 feet deep,the required minimum ratio is one Landscape Tree per 50 linear feet parallel to the lot line,plus 3 low shrubs per 300 square feet of area to be landscaped. (Ord.No. 3591, 10-10-00) b. Ifthe area to be landscaped is 30 feet deep or greater,the required minimum ratio is one Landscape Tree per 1,000 square feet and either 3 high shrubs or 6 low shrubs per 1,000 square feet of landscaped area. The shrubs and trees may be grouped. Ground cover plants must fully cover the remaining area to be counted toward required landscaping. (Ord.No. 3591, 10-10-00) (b) L2,Low Screen. (i) Generally. The L2 standard requires a combination of distance and low-level screening to separate uses or development. The standard is generally applied where a low level of screening is adequate to soften the impact of the use or development and where visibility between areas is more important than a total visual screen. It is usually applied along front lot lines. (ii) Required Landscape Elements. Low shrubs spaced at a maximum distance of 4 feet on center must form a continuous screen 3 feet high. In addition,one Landscape Tree is required per 50 lineal feet of landscaped area or as appropriate to provide a tree canopy over the landscaped area. A 3-foot-high masonry wall may be substituted for the shrubs,but the trees and ground cover plants are still required. A wood fence 3 feet high,or a 3- foot high berm in combination with low shrubs spaced at a maximum of 8 feet on center also may be substituted for the shrubs,but the trees and ground cover plants are still required. When applied along Street Lot Lines,the fence or wall is to be placed along the interior side of the landscaped area. Appropriate adjustments shall be made to preserve sight visibility at all intersections as per Section 29.408(5). (Ord.No. 3591, 10-10-00) (c) L3,High Screen. (i) Generally. The L3 landscape standard uses screening to provide physical and visual separation between uses or development. It is generally used in those instances where visual separation is desirable. (ii) Required Landscape Elements. The L3 standard requires high shrubs spaced at a maximum distance of 6 feet on center to form a screen 6 feet high. In addition,one Landscape Tree is required per 50 lineal feet of landscaped area or as appropriate to provide a tree canopy over the landscaped area. Ground cover plants must fully cover the remainder of the landscaped area. A 6-foot high wooden fence with the fence posts on the interior side unless the fence is finished on both sides may be substituted for some or all of the high shrubs. When a 6-foot high wooden fence is installed, high or low shrubs shall be planted at the rate of one shrub per 10 lineal feet, and one Landscape Tree is required per 50 lineal feet or as appropriate to provide canopy over the landscape area. A 6-foot-high masonry wall may be substituted for the high shrubs spaced 6 feet on center,but the trees and ground cover plants are still required. When applied along Street Lot Lines,if permitted as per Section 29.408(2),the 6-foot high fence or wall is to be placed along the interior side of the landscaped area. (Ord.No. 3591, 10-10-00) (d) L4,High Wall. (i) Generally. The L4 standard is intended to be used in special instances where extensive screening of both visual and noise impacts is needed to protect abutting uses in areas where there is little space for separation. (ii) Required Landscape Elements. The L4 standard requires a 8-foot-highmasonry(but not concrete block)wall along the interior side of the landscape area. One Landscape Tree is required per 50 lineal feet of wall or as appropriate to provide a tree canopy over the landscaped area. In addition,3 high shrubs or 6 low shrubs are required per 30 lineal feet of wall. Ground cover plants must fully cover the remainder of the landscaped area. (Ord.No. 3591, 10-10-00) (e) F1,Partially Sight-Obscuring Fence. (i) Generally: The F1 fence standard provides a tall,but not totally blocked, visual separation. The standard is generally applied where a low level of screening is adequate to soften the impact of the use of development or where visibility between areas is more important than a total visual screen. It is generally applied in areas where landscaping is not necessary and where nonresidential uses are involved. (ii) Construction Standards.Fences must be 6 feet high and at least 50%sight-obscuring. Fences may be made of wood,metal,bricks,masonry or other permanent materials. Sup#2011-3 Chapter 29,Article 4-3 Rev.07-1-11 (f) F2,Fully Sight-Obscuring Fence. (i) Generally. The F2 fence standard provides a tall and complete visual separation and is primarily intended to be used in special instances where complete screening is needed to protect abutting uses and landscaping is not practical. It is usually applied in nonresidential situations. (ii) Construction Standards. Fences must be 6 feet high and 100% sight-obscuring. Fences may be made of wood,metal,bricks,masonry or other permanent materials. (2) Plant Materials. (a) Shrubs and Ground Cover. All required ground cover plants and shrubs must be of sufficient size and number to meet the required standards within 3 years of planting. Mulch(as a ground cover)must be confined to areas underneath plants and is not a substitute for ground cover plants. Ground cover plants may include grass or vines. (b) Landscape Trees. Landscape Trees may be deciduous or coniferous. Deciduous trees at the time of planting must be fully branched,have a minimum diameter of 1-1/2 inches,measured 4 feet above the ground, and have a minimum height of 6 feet. Coniferous trees at the time of planting must be fully branched and have a minimum height of 3 feet. (c) Existing Vegetation. Existing landscaping or natural vegetation may be used to meet the standards for required landscaping,if protected and maintained during the construction phase of the development. When the existing trees are at least 12 inches in diameter,measured 5 feet above the ground, they may count triple toward meeting the requirements of a landscaping standard. (d) Definition of Shrubs. (i) Low Shrubs: Shrubs with a mature height of 3 to 6 feet. (ii) High Shrubs: Shrubs with a mature height of 6 feet or greater. (3) Installation and Maintenance. (a) Installation. Plant materials must be installed to current nursery industry standards. Plant materials must be properly supported to ensure survival. Support devices such as guy wires or stakes must be adequately marked and must not interfere with vehicular or pedestrian movement. (b) Maintenance. Maintenance of landscaped areas is the ongoing responsibility of the property owner. Required landscaping must be continuously maintained in a healthy manner. Plants that die must be replaced in kind within 6 months after receipt of notice to the owner by the Zoning Enforcement Officer. Failure to maintain required landscaping shall be enforced in the same manner as any other violation of this Ordinance. Pursuant to applicable law,fines shall be levied and orders issued requiring the installation of new plants. (4) Landscaping Requirements For Surface Parking Lots. (a) Purpose. The purpose of this section is to protect and promote the public health,safety and general welfare by requiring the landscaping of surface parking lots in such a manner as will serve to reduce the effects of wind and air turbulence,heat and noise,and the glare of automobile lights;to preserve ground water strata;to act as a natural drainage system and ameliorate stormwater drainage problems;to reduce the level of carbon dioxide and return oxygen to the atmosphere;to prevent soil erosion;to conserve and stabilize property values and to otherwise facilitate the creation of a convenient, attractive and harmonious community;to relieve the blight of the appearance of surface parking lots;and to generally preserve a healthful and pleasant environment.
