HomeMy WebLinkAboutA045 - Hearing on Rezoning and Master Plan Amendment for 4605 and 4510 Hyde and Adjacent Properties to the North (Auburn Trail Development)ITEM #:47 DATE:03-24-26 DEPT:P&H SUBJECT:HEARING ON REZONING AND MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT FOR 4605 AND 4510 HYDE AND ADJACENT PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH (AUBURN TRAIL DEVELOPMENT) COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: Hunziker Development Group has applied to rezone two properties and amend the previously approved zoning Master Plan for the planned Auburn Trail development. The original rezoning and Master Plan for 4605 and 4510 was approved July 13, 2021, with a rezoning of the properties to Floating Suburban Residential Low-Density “FS-RL.” Location and zoning maps are attached. The proposed rezoning applies to Outlot A and B of the Cochrane Farm Subdivision along the northern boundary of the Auburn Trail development site. These parcels were annexed into the City in October 2025 and not previously included in the Master Plan or rezoned. At this time post-annexation they can be included in the plans for development of the site. The proposed rezoning for the two parcels is from “A” Agricultural to Floating Suburban Residential Low- Density “FS-RL” (see attached Rezoning Exhibit and applicant’s narrative). This will allow the parcels to be integrated into the subdivision layout with the amended Master Plan (see attached Master Plan and Zoning Plat). The amendments to the Master Plan include adjustments not only to add the two outlots, but also to change the layout of open space within the project and to amend the contract rezoning agreement related to a requirement to construct a shared use path along Hyde Avenue. MASTER PLAN AMENDMENTS: The site is located within the Ada Hayden Watershed area and is subject to Conservation and Low Impact Development Subdivision standards. Since the original Master Plan approval, the City has amended the Conservation Design Ordinance. Because of these changes, the developer has proposed less open space set-aside within the Master Plan and increased development densities. The amended Master Plan reflects a range of 155 to 190 lots for single-family attached/detached homes. The previous Master Plan proposed up to 181 units; up to 70 of these units were originally planned to be townhomes/small lots, which are no longer proposed. In total, there are 54 developable acres proposed. The minimum density standard within the proposed FS-RL is 3.75 dwelling units per net acre, which the Master Plan concept supports. Full review of density with net acreage limitations will occur with the subsequent preliminary plat subdivision review. There are 18 acres of open space shown on the Master Plan, which is reduced from 1 approximately 24 acres with the previous Master Plan. The prior Master Plan included two natural areas with wetland-indicated conditions as open space. Neither of these two areas have been determined to be Waters of the United States as Jurisdictional Wetlands and, due to their isolated nature and low-quality attributes, staff has not recommended that they be maintained as natural areas within the Master Plan. No other notable natural resources were identified for the site. Despite the reduction in open space, the subdivision design will need to comply with the Conservation Subdivision Ordinance and its treatment train approach to subdivision design to address stormwater management requirements. Final configurations of open space and stormwater management design features will be part of the Preliminary Plat subdivision review. Development of the subdivision will also include an assessment of park needs due to the distance of the project from a public neighborhood park. With the original Auburn Trail proposal, staff had recommended that a small neighborhood park be provided due to the distance from other neighborhood park spaces in the area as described within Ames Plan 2040. No specific plan is proposed with the Master Plan. A “pocket park” concept will be reviewed as part of the preliminary plat. The Master Plan also identifies major roadway and trail connections planned for the site. Although not shown, the developer has also discussed providing a voluntary trail connection through the east property with Ada Hayden. Since it is not required, it is not shown on the Master Plan. These internal features are essentially unchanged from the original design and are to be built by the developer. PREANNEXATION AND CONTRACT REZONING AGREEMENTS: The site is subject to an original pre-annexation agreement and a separate contract rezoning agreement that was approved with the initial rezoning of the site. The rezoning agreement references the original Master Plan and the obligation for the developer to construct a shared use path along Hyde Avenue. An amended rezoning agreement is required to be approved to adopt the amended Master Plan prior to third reading of the rezoning ordinance. The applicant has proposed to remove the shared use path requirement from the zoning agreement. The change is consistent with recent City Council discussions to make the Hyde path a City project. Removal of the shared use path from the developer's responsibilities is to be discussed by City Council at the March 24, 2026, meeting as part of the review and approval of the Auburn Trail development outline related to the development incentive requests. A pre-annexation agreement (approved December 30, 2013) also includes terms for cost- sharing sharing of infrastructure to serve the development. Amendments to the pre-annexation agreement are also expected to occur in coordination with the Auburn Trail project’s subdivision approval, subsequent to the rezoning process. Requested amendments are tied to the development incentive outline with waiver of collection of the traffic impact fee for signal improvements and the waiver of water and sewer connection fees for the first 50 homes within the first Phase of development. These issues are described fully in the separate development outline report. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSON: The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend approval of the rezoning 2 request at its March 4, 2026 meeting. The Commission asked for clarification on the changes to the wetland protections in the Conservation Design ordinance, as well as whether there would be pedestrian connectivity provided other than the shared use paths along Hyde and the main collector street in the subdivision. Staff explained the the wetlands are Non- Jurisdictional (not regulated by Federal Clean Water Act) and that the Conservation Subdivision standards require connectivity with open spaces. Pedestrian connections will be reviewed with the preliminary plat. A member of the public provided comment and asked about stormwater plans and whether a traffic study had been completed for impacts of the development on Hyde. Stormwater management is required for the development and plans will be reviewed as part of the preliminary plat. With the previous platting of the development, a traffic letter was submitted that identified the need for a northbound left turn lane to enter the development from Hyde. This is shown on the Master Plan. In addition, the City's northern growth area, inclusive of this property, is shown within Ames Plan 2040 and its projected growth was incorporated into a traffic model with the recently approved AAMPO transportation plan. The general analysis of the area concludes traffic will increase along Hyde, but within acceptable operational capacities. However, Ames Plan 2040 and the MTP indicate that traffic calming will be a benefit in the future for speed control as growth occurs. A traffic signal at Bloomington and Hyde is also anticipated as result of north growth development. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve on first reading the rezoning of 4605 and 4510 Hyde Avenue and Outlots A and B in the Cochrane Farms Subdivision to Floating Suburban Residential Low-Density “FS- RL" with Master Plan, subject to the condition that a Rezoning Agreement for the Master Plan is reviewed and approved by City Council no later than the third reading of the rezoning ordinance. Approval of Alternative 1 would remove the requirement for the developer to construct a Shared-Use Path along the entire frontage of Hyde Avenue at its cost. 2. Direct the applicant to modify the Master Plan and return with an updated Master Plan for Council approval. 3. Deny the request to rezone the property and retain the FS-RL zoning only on 4605 and 4510 Hyde and previously approved Master Plan. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The Master Plan’s proposed housing types are allowed within the proposed zoning. The amendments to the Master Plan reflect the addition of two recently annexed parcels to the development. Recent changes to the City’s Low Impact Development and Conservation Design Ordinance have influenced the overall layout of the site. Overall, the revised Plan is consistent with the type of land use planned for this area and the changes to the site layout have increased the development capacity of the site, especially for standard single-family detached lot layouts. 3 The general layout of the Master Plan appears to support the intent of the Low Impact Development and Conservation Design Ordinance. A complete analysis of these requirements will occur during the subsequent subdivision review process. The proposal to remove the complete shared use path requirement along Hyde Avenue is consistent with the December Council discussion of development incentives. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative 1, as described above.

Outlot A and Outlot YY of Auburn Trail Subdivision, First Addition, and Outlot A and Outlot B of Cochrane Farm Subdivision, all in the City of Ames, Story County, Iowa Ames Plan 2040. The Ames Plan 2040 Future Land Use Map designation for the property is Residential Neighborhood 3 (RN-3) (see attached Future Land Use Map). Plan 2040 describes these areas as containing a variety of residential types and neighborhood services. The characteristic of an RN-3 area is a conventional suburban layout of primarily single-family development at low and medium density. An excerpt of Plan 2040 for the RN-3 designation including a full description of characteristics and applicable zoning districts is also attached. FS-RL is considered a compatible zoning district within the RN-3 land use classification. Staff believes the rezoning request is consistent with the goals and policies of Ames Plan 2040. Current Zoning. Outlots A and B of the Cochrane Farms Subdivision are zoned Agricultural (A). When a property is annexed into the City it receives a default zoning of Agricultural (A) until at such time that the property owner chooses to rezone. 4605 and 4510 Hyde are zoned FS-RL. Proposed Zoning. The FS-RL zone is intended to provide supplemental standards to guide development beyond the base zone of Residential Low Density. These include for density, block lengths, and open space that would apply to a proposed development. Typically, the zone allows detached and attached single-family homes. Existing Uses of Land. The surrounding areas are zone primarily for residential and agricultural uses. To the northwest and east, the properties are zoned FS -RL. The residential neighborhood to the south is zoned RL, FS -RL, and F-PRD. Property to the west, northeast, and east are zoned Agricultural (A). Land uses that occupy the subject property and other surrounding properties are described in the following table: Direction from Subject Property Existing Land Uses Subject Property Farmland North Farmland, Homesteads, Communications Tower East Scattered Homesteads South Single-Family Detached and Attached Homes (Bloomington Heights West) West Railroad, Farmland 5 2 Master Plan. A Master Plan is intended to provide a general description of the inten ded development of a property. A Master Plan must address open space areas to be reserved from development, buildable areas, building types, and major access points as described in zoning requirements of Section 29.1507(4). The submitted Master Plan proposes 155-190 single-family attached/detached homes, on approximately 54 acres (43 net acres sub estimated right-of-way). In addition, the Master Plan includes approximately 18 acres of open space. The minimum density standard for RN-3 and FS-RL is 3.75 dwelling units per net acre which the Master Plan concept supports. Full review of density with net acreage limitations will occur with the subsequent preliminary plat subdivision review. Infrastructure. The property at 4605 Hyde is the subject of a 2013 pre-annexation agreement addressing street assessments, traffic fees, water service territory buyout, and water and sewer connection fees. A contract rezoning agreement approved with the 2021 rezoning addressed needed off-site improvements related to the development of the site including the extension of a shared use path along Hyde Avenue. Since 2013, some of this infrastructure has been installed and assessed. City expectations for cost-sharing have changed related to City Council direction from December 16, 2205, to consider development incentives for certain residential development projects, including Auburn Trail. Negotiation of final agreements will be completed in order to amend the Pre-annexation agreement. Water - Auburn Trail is within a City water connection district. The City previously undertook the extension of water service to the property . Payment of fees to the City is required in conjunction with final platting of each phase of the project. Auburn Trail is also subject to agreements for buyout of service territory agreements with Xenia Rural Water Association. The developer is responsible for buyout fees to be paid to Xenia, which must occur prior to final plat. Sewer- Auburn Trail is within a City sanitary sewer connection district. The City previously undertook the extension of sanitary sewer service to the property. Payment of fees to the City is required in conjunction with final platting of each phase of the project. Electric- Auburn Trail lies within the Ames Electric service territory. Special Assessments and Off-site Traffic Improvements- The pre-annexation agreement included an assessment for the improvement of Hyde Avenue from West 190th Street. This has been completed and one payment on the assessment remains. The combined development of Quarry Estates, Auburn Trail, and Hayden’s Preserve are known from prior traffic studies to contribute to increased traffic in the area and the need for a traffic signal at Hyde and Bloomington. The original pre-annexation agreement included a developer’s share of costs associated with traffic signals at Hyde Avenue and Bloomington Road and Grand Avenue and Bloomington Road . 6 3 Shared Use Paths and Trails- The contract rezoning agreement included a requirement for a 10-foot shared use path to be constructed by the developer along the Hyde frontage of Auburn Trail and connect off site to the south and north. City Council has indicated support to remove this obligation from the developer with the intent of the trail being a City project extending from Harrison to 190th Street. The requirement will be deleted from the rezoning agreement. The Master Plan also shows an internal shared use path along the collector road with a connection to the future development to the north . This path will be constructed at the cost of the developer. Access. Primary access to the site would be from Hyde Avenue. A turn lane is required for north bound traffic on Hyde into the site. The developer is responsible for public improvements serving the site. Auburn Trail will be connected with public roads to existing development both to the south and to future development to the north. Crestmoor Avenue and Welbeck Drive (existing streets currently stubbed at the south property line) would be extended into the site. Two street connections to the north will connect into the street network from Hayden’s Preserve (formerly Rose Prairie). An additional stub street is planned to the north for a potential future connection. Internal circulation will be reviewed at the time of subdivision. 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: 1. The subject property is owned by Erben & Margaret Hunziker Apartments LLC, Hunziker, 2. The proposed zoning is consistent with the Residential Neighborhood 3 (RN-3) Future Land Use Designation identified on the Ames Plan 2040 Future Land Use Map. 3. The RN-3 land use designation supports the FS-RL zoning designation. Under a FS-RL zoning designation, detached and attached single-family housing types are allowed. 4. The Master Plan identifies developable areas and range of uses consistent with the proposed FS-RL zoning district. Subsequent development will be subject to subdivision review. 5. Infrastructure is adequate to serve the site and can be extended to the site. 6. Ames Municipal Code Sec. 29.1507(5) requires approval of a zoning agreement for an application with a master plan and that all subsequent development comply with the master plan. Public Notice. Notice was mailed to property owners within 400 feet of the subject site and a sign was posted on the subject property. 7 H Y D E A V E WES T L AW N D R WELBECKDR BRICKMAN AVE EISENHOWER AVE EIS ENHOWERLN CRESTMOORAVE L A K E S IDEDR BA L L E N T I N E D R HARRISON RD BERKSHIRE AVE EISENHOWER CT ABERDEEN DR LAURE L S T WEST W IND DRWESTONDR D A N B U RY R D Location Map 0 0.07 0.140.04 Miles IN T E R S T A T E 3 5 LINCOLN 24TH 13THONTARIO INTERSTATE 35 D A Y T O N ST A N G E U N I V E R S I T Y 16TH GEORGEW CARVER SO U T H DA K O T A AIRPORTHY L A N D LINCOLN WAY ¯Legend Subject Properties Parcels 4605 Hyde 4510 Hyde Outlot A Outlot B 8 F-PRD S-GA A FS-RL RL FS-RL FS-RL A H Y D E A V E WES T L AW N D R WELBECKDR BRICKMAN AVE EISENHOWER AVE EIS ENHOWERLN CRESTMOORAVE L A K E S IDEDR BA L L E N T I N E D R HARRISON RD BERKSHIRE AVE EISENHOWER CT ABERDEEN DR LAURE L S T WEST W IND DRWESTONDR D A N B U RY R D Existing Zoning Map 0 0.07 0.140.04 Miles IN T E R S T A T E 3 5 LINCOLN 24TH 13THONTARIO INTERSTATE 35 D A Y T O N ST A N G E U N I V E R S I T Y 16TH GEORGEW CARVER SO U T H DA K O T A AIRPORTHY L A N D LINCOLN WAY ¯Legend Subject Properties Parcels Zoning District Agricultural Zone "A" (sec 29.600) Residential Low Density Zone "RL" (sec 29.701) Government/Airport District "S-GA" (sec 29.1002) Suburban Residential Zone Residential Low Density ''FS- RL'' (sec 29.1202(4)-1) Planned Residence District ''F-PRD'' (sec 29.1203) 4605 Hyde 4510 Hyde Outlot A Outlot B 9 EXISTING: FS-RL (SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL LOW DENSITY) PROPOSED: FS-RL (SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL LOW DENSITY) 74.46 ACRES 3,243,434 SQ FT S 2 7 ° 5 2 ' 0 7 " E 8 5 4 . 3 8 ' S 89°46'05" W 1293.62'S 89°46'05" W 1162.99' S 89°46'05" W 100.00' N 0 0 ° 0 2 ' 4 7 " E 7 1 3 . 3 3 ' N 0 0 ° 0 2 ' 4 7 " E 5 5 3 . 2 7 ' N 89°54'07" E 1312.19'N 89°52'03" E 671.90' N 00°02'47" E 50.00' N 89°38'41" W 113.42' N 57°48'38" W 116.93' L=100.63' N 00°38'38" W 36.84' S 89°21'22" W 220.79' N 0 0 ° 0 6 ' 0 7 " E 30 5 . 3 8 ' S 89°25'36" E 502.35' EXISTING: FS-RL (SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL LOW DENSITY) PROPOSED: FS-RL (SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL LOW DENSITY) 4.68 ACRES 203,695 SQ FT S 89°46'05" W 1287.22 S 0°13'55" E 50.00 S 07°31'36" E 50.41' L = 7298.49' R = 1575.35' ∆ = S 17°14'30" E EXISTING AGRICULTURAL PROPOSED F-S RL 1.48 ACRES 64,521 SQ FT EXISTING AGRICULTURAL PROPOSED F-S RL 0.11 ACRES 4,994 SQ FT S 0 0 ° 0 2 ' 4 7 " W 5 2 0 . 2 9 ' L=45.65' S 89°46'05" W 99.76' N 00°13'55" W 50.00' © Bo l t o n & M e n k , I n c . 2 0 1 8 , A l l R i g h t s R e s e r v e d H:\HUNZI\0A1123082\CAD\C3D\MISC-123082-REZONE PLAT.DWG 3/3/2026 1:56 PM JOB NUMBER: 1519 BALTIMORE DRIVE AMES, IOWA 50010 (515) 233-6100 AMES OUTLOT 'A' AND OUTLOT 'YY' OF AUBURN TRAIL SUBDIVISION FIRST ADDITION, AND OUTLOT 'A' AND OUTLOT 'B' OF COCHRANE FARM SUBDIVISION REZONING PLAT MARCH 2026 R 0A1.123082 REZONING PLAT 4605 HYDE AVENUE AND 4510 HYDE AVENUE AND OUTLOT 'A' AND OUTLOT 'B' COCHRANE FARM SUBDIVISION SHEET OF 1 1 R LEGAL DESCRIPTION: OUTLOT ‘A’ AND OUTLOT ‘YY’ OF AUBURN TRAIL SUBDIVISION, FIRST ADDITION, AND ALSO, OUTLOT ‘A’ AND OUTLOT ‘B’ OF COCHRANE FARM SUBDIVISION, ALL IN THE CITY OF AMES, STORY COUNTY, IOWA PARCELS CONTAIN A COMBINED 3,243,434 SQ.

Originally envisioned in the 1997 LUPP as “villages” and residential subdivisions. » Primarily residential and largely single- family at low and medium densities. Some medium-density apartment developments. »Conventional suburban lot sizes in subdivisions. »Limited or no transit access. »Access to private green space, internal paths, and trails is often included in development design. Includes storm water detention features within developments. » Curvilinear street networks, minimizing cul-de-sacs,but somewhat limited connectivity at times. » Common pattern of automobile-oriented design with front-loaded garages. »Includes small commercial nodes. LAND USE: CATEGORIES DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES »Flexible lot size design standards for diverse housing types, including architectural character, environmental, and open space factors in design decisions. »Higher residential densities (attached, townhomes, small multi-unit buildings) on avenues, boulevards, and mixed use avenues, and other streets with significant bicycle and potential transit routes; and within master planned projects. »Street, sidewalk, and trail connectivity. » New development requires neighborhood and community parks. See also Parks, Trails, & Greenways Element. »Plan to accommodate transit extensions into developing areas by design and density levels. » Allow common accessory functions, places of worship, and parks. »Apply minimum density standards to new development, single-family 3.75 du/A, medium-density minimum density 10.0 du/A, cores and high-density areas have higher intensity and densities than medium density. PUBLIC ACTIONS »Review and modify zoning and subdivision regulations to address intended range of uses and design standards. » Permit accessory dwelling units with lot size and design standards. »Extend trail network into growth areas. »Support transit extensions to serviceable areas. » Use the Capital Improvements Program to plan for extension of major road, water, sewer infrastructure. Consider use of development agreements, connection districts, and assessments to help facilitate extensions.
