RESOLUTION APPROVING AMES PLAN 2040 FUTURE LAND USE MAP
DESIGNATION AMENDMENT FROM EMPLOYMENT TO RESIDENTIAL
NEIGHBORHOOD-3 FOR 3200 AND 3300 UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, Ames Plan 2040 provides the basis for specific goals and policies for issues
of growth, land use, environment, parks and open space, housing, community character; which for
many issues is embodied in the Future Land Use Map of the city, which guides zoning. An
amendment to the Plan, including the Future Land Use Map, requires consideration of pertinent
goals and policies as described within the Implementation Chapter including resources needed to
serve the change, relationship to projected population and employment needs, community
character and compatibility, and potential cumulative effects of changes; and,
WHEREAS, the property owner of 3200 and 3300 University Boulevard, Hunziker
Construction Services, Inc., intends to develop the two parcels with rental units. The requested
zoning for both properties, contingent on the land use change, is the base zoning district Floating
Suburban - Residential Medium Density (FS-RM). This allows development densities between 10
and 22 dwelling units per net acre; and,
WHEREAS, the Iowa State University Research Park believes that adding housing near its
employment base is beneficial to the overall development goals of the Research Park and the
change of these sites does not impact the prime industrial areas for development; and,
WHEREAS, both subject properties are already served by all utilities (electric, water,
wastewater); additionally, the street is constructed and does not require extension.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that the Ames Plan 2040 Future Land Use Map Designation Amendment from Employment to
Residential Neighborhood-3 for 3200 and 3300 University Boulevard is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 26th day of November, 2024.
