MEETING DATE: September 16, 2022
AGENDA ITEM: Public hearing on an ordinance to amend Chapter 169, Zoning
Ordinance, City of Waukee, Iowa, by rezoning certain property from C-4
(Office Park Commercial District), R-4 (Row Dwelling & Townhome
District), and A-1 (Agricultural District) to K-RC (Kettlestone Retail
Community District), K-MU (Kettlestone Mixed Use District), and K-
MF-Stacked Med (Kettlestone Multi-Family Stacked Medium District)
[Kettlestone Central South]
FORMAT: Public Hearing
SYNOPSIS INCLUDING PRO & CON: The subject property is generally located north of SE
Ashworth Road and east of Grand Prairie Parkway. The property is approximately 60.5-acres in
area and is current undeveloped property. The applicant and property owner request that the
property be rezoned from C-4, R-4, and A-1 to allow for a commercial and multi-family
residential development.
The applicant has submitted consent from 65.61% of the surrounding property within a 250-foot
radius of the area proposed to be rezoned. Notification to surrounding property owners was
mailed on September 2, 2022. Rezoning signs have also been placed on the property. At this
time, staff has not received any correspondence either for or against the proposed rezoning
request.
The concept plan for the property identifies 12 commercial lots located on the west side of the
property along Grand Prairie Parkway, four mixed-use lots in the central portion of the property,
and one large lot for a townhome/rowhome development on the east side of the property adjacent
to SE Waco Place. The concept plan shows three apartment buildings within the K-MU district
area and one large mixed-use building. A total of 259 townhomes are shown on the concept plan
within the area proposed to be zoned K-MF-Stacked Med. Landscape buffers will be required
between districts and along SE Waco Place. Any proposed use on the property will required site
plan review and approval. As part of the improvements to the property, the applicant would be
responsible for paving SE Westown Parkway between Grand Prairie Parkway and SE Waco
Place.
The K-RC district permits typical commercial, retail, and office uses. Commercial and retail
buildings are limited to no more than 50,000 square feet in area. The K-MU district permits
buildings to have commercial/retail and residential uses within the same building. In addition, the
K-MU district permits standalone multi-family buildings. A density of 30 units per acre is
allowed within the K-MU district. The K-MF-Stacked Med district allows for either vertically or
horizontally attached multi-family dwelling units including townhomes or rowhomes. The K-MF-
Stacked Med District permits a density up to 14 units per acre.
G2
The subject property is within the Kettlestone Corridor and was included within the 2015 master
plan for the corridor. The land uses shown within the Kettlestone Master Plan for the subject
property are Office and Medium Density Residential. The Kettlestone Master Plan is intended to
act as a guide for land use while at the same time allowing for flexibility of land uses. The intent
is that the land use designations can move based upon market demands and the type of
development. The proposed zoning designations of K-RC and K-MU would still permit office
type uses, but also provide additional flexibility for further commercial, retail, and residential
uses. The area proposed to be zoned K-MF-Stacked Med is consistent with the Kettlestone
Master Plan. In general, the proposed districts are placing the more intense uses closer to the
Grand Prairie Parkway corridor and transitioning to the less intense use along the eastern
boundary which abuts an existing single-family neighborhood located within the City of West
Des Moines.

COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT: The Planning and Zoning
Commission reviewed the rezoning request on September 13, 2022,
and recommended approval:
Approval of a Rezoning related to a change from C-4 (Office Park Commercial District), R-
4 (Row Dwelling & Townhome District) and A-1 (Agricultural District) to K-RC
(Kettlestone Retail Community District), K-MU (Kettlestone Mixed Use District), and K-
MF-Stacked Med (Kettlestone Multi-Family Stacked Medium District) [Kettlestone Central
South]
Community Development Director, Andy Kass, introduced the request for approval of a rezoning
related to a multi-use development as submitted by the applicant, Caliber Land Company. The
subject property is generally located north of SE Ashworth Road and east of Grand Prairie
Parkway, containing approximately 60.54 acres. Notice of the rezoning was mailed to adjacent
property owners on September 2nd, 2022, and signs for the rezoning were placed on the property.
To date, staff has not received any correspondence for or against the rezoning. The applicant has
obtained consent to the rezoning from 65.61% of surrounding property owners.
Mr. Kass explained that the concept plan for the property identifies 12 commercial lots located on
the west side of the property, four mixed-use lots, a multi-family component, and one large lot for
townhome/rowhome development. All proposed uses meet the bulk minimum zoning regulations
of the requested rezoning.
The proposed zoning district s generally consistent with the land uses identified in the
Comprehensive Plan/ Kettlestone Master Plan. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning for
Kettlestone Central South.
Commissioner Broderick questioned if the townhome portion of the project was
anticipated to be rentals. Nick Jensen, a representative for the applicant, advised that was
correct. Mr. Jensen advised that Caliber was looking to improve on the product
previously done in the area to the north.
Commissioner Streit questioned if Mr. Jensen knew of any retail tenants. Mr. Jensen
advised that the focus will be on the townhome portion of the development first in order
to extend infrastructure to the commercial area. At that point, Caliber will most likely sell
the commercial lots to individual developer/tenants.
Commissioner Koelker questioned if there was a reason to pick K-RC over K-RR for
zoning in the area. Community Development Director, Andy Kass, explained that there is
guidance pertaining to the size of the lots and buildings that may help with marketing
future sales within the zoning districts chosen.
Commissioner Broderick moved to approve a rezoning related to a change from C-4 (Office Park
Commercial District), R-4 (Row Dwelling & Townhome District) and A-1 (Agricultural District)
to K-RC (Kettlestone Retail Community District), K-MU (Kettlestone Mixed Use District), and
K-MF-Stacked Med (Kettlestone Multi-Family Stacked Medium District)[Kettlestone Central
South]. The motion was seconded by commissioner Tessau. Ayes: Koelker, Hoifeldt, Streit,
Broderick, and Tessau. Nays: none. Motion Carried.
STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: Hold the Public Hearing.
RECOMMENDATION: Hold the Public Hearing.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The concept plan for the property identifies 12 commercial lots located on the west side of the property along Grand
Prairie Parkway, four mixed-use lots in the central portion of the property, and one large lot for a townhome/rowhome
development on the east side of the property adjacent to SE Waco Place. The concept plan shows three apartment
buildings within the K-MU district area and one large mixed-use building. A total of 259 townhomes are shown on the
concept plan within the area proposed to be zoned K-MF-Stacked Med. As part of the improvements to the property,
the applicant would be responsible for paving SE Westown Parkway between Grand Prairie Parkway and SE Waco Place.
The K-RC district permits typical commercial, retail, and office uses. Commercial and retail buildings are limited to no
more than 50,000 square feet in area. The K-MU district permits buildings to have commercial/retail and residential uses

attached multi-family dwelling units including townhomes or rowhomes. The K-MF-Stacked Med District permits a
density up to 14 units per acre.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The subject property is within the Kettlestone Corridor and was included within the 2015 master plan for the corridor.
The land uses shown within the Kettlestone Master Plan for the subject property are Office and Medium Density
Residential. The Kettlestone Master Plan is intended to act as a guide for land use while at the same time allowing for
flexibility of land uses. The intent is that the land use designations can move based upon market demands and the type of
development. The proposed zoning designations of K-RC and K-MU would still permit office type uses, but also provide
additional flexibility for further commercial, retail, and residential uses. The area proposed to be zoned K-MF-Stacked
Med is consistent with the Kettlestone Master Plan. In general, the proposed districts are placing the more intense uses
closer to the Grand Prairie Parkway corridor and transitioning to the less intense use along the eastern boundary which
abuts an existing single-family neighborhood located within the City of West Des Moines.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The proposed zoning district is generally consistent with the land uses identified in the Comprehensive Plan/Kettlestone
Master Plan. Based on the conformance with the Comprehensive Plan staff recommends approval of the rezoning for
Kettlestone Central South.
