CITY OF WAUKEE, IOWA
CITY COUNCIL MEETING COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: November 21, 2022
AGENDA ITEM: Public hearing on an ordinance to amend Chapter 169, Zoning
Ordinance, City of Waukee, Iowa, by rezoning certain property from R-2
(One & Two Family Residential District) to C-1 (Community &
Highway Service Commercial District) / PD-1 (Planned Development
Overlay District) and amending the existing PD-1 (Planned Development
Overlay District) [Waukee Towne Center]
FORMAT: Public Hearing
SYNOPSIS INCLUDING PRO & CON: The subject property is located south of Hickman
Road and west of SE Alice’s Road is approximately 0.07-acre in area. The owner/applicant has
submitted the rezoning request to incorporate the parcel into the overall 48-acre Waukee Towne
Center commercial development and to amend the existing Planned Development that was
approved for the property to the south in September 2022, to add provisions specific to the parcel.
The applicant has submitted consent from 23% of property owners within 250-feet of the property
to be rezoned. Notification to adjacent property owners was mailed on October 31, 2022. The
rezoning signs were placed on the property by the November 1, 2022 deadline. Staff has received
one letter from an adjoining property owner who is in opposition to the proposed request.
The concept plan provided identifies an approximately 300,000 square foot shopping/retail center
along with several parcels for additional commercial/retail development. The concept plan is
relatively consistent with the concept that was previously reviewed as part of the initial Waukee
Towne Center rezoning. The Sign Exhibit included within the concept of the development
identifies a monument sign that would be located on the 0.07-acre parcel. The monument sign
would have space for tenants of the Waukee Towne Center Development to have signs located
upon the sign.
The Planned Development (PD) outlines specific provisions related to the proposed development.
The existing provisions of the Planned Development remain largely unchanged, except for
provisions added for the monument sign proposed to be located on the area proposed to be
rezoned. Maximum square footages, heights, and setbacks have been included. In addition, a
provision has been added to limit the use of the 0.07-parcel to only allow for a monument sign to
be placed upon it. No other uses or structures would be permitted within the area.
The subject property is identified as Single Family Residential in the Imagine Waukee 2040
Comprehensive Plan. Single Family Residential is characterized as traditional forms of single-
family housing, lots sizes between 8,000 square feet and 0.5-acre, with densities between 2 and 4
units per acre.
The proposed rezoning of 0.07-acre from R-2 to C-1/PD-1 is not a significant amount of area to
negatively impact the existing single-family residential neighborhood to the west and south. The
G1
Planned Development would limit the use of the area to only permit a monument sign. In
addition, the proposed zoning is consistent with the commercial zoning to the east and north.
FISCAL IMPACT INCLUDING COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT: The Planning and Zoning
Commission reviewed the rezoning request on November 8, 2022,
and recommended approval:
Approval of a Rezoning related to a change from R-2 (One & Two Family Residential) to C-
1 (Community and Highway Service Commercial District) / PD-1 (Planned Development
Overlay District) and amending the existing PD-1 (Planned Development Overlay District)
[Waukee Towne Center]
Community Development Director, Andy Kass, introduced the request for approval of a rezoning
for a monument sign addition to a commercial development as submitted by the applicant,
Waukee Towne Center, LLC. The subject property is generally located west of SE Alice’s Road
and south of SE Laurel Street.
Mr. Kass advised that the request was to incorporate the 0.07 acre parcel into the overall 48-acre
Waukee Towne Center commercial development and amend the existing Planned Development to
add provisions regarding the additional parcel. To date staff has received one letter in opposition
to the rezoning.
Mr. Kass explained that the updates would allow for a monument sign to be located on the 0.07
acre parcel with space for tenants of the Waukee Towne Center Development. The planned
development remains generally unchanged except for provisions added for the monument sign
proposed and the location of the monument sign that limits the parcel to strictly monument sign
usage. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning for Waukee Towne Center.
Commissioner Streit questioned if the sign would be lighted. Mr. Kass advised that
provisions regarding lighting of the sign could be proposed. Ed Arp, a representative of
the applicant, advised that landscaping is also proposed between the residential homes
and the sign to obscure any light pollution.
Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned if the parcel in question shared the setback
requirements of the adjacent parcels. Mr. Kass advised that was correct, it would be
affected by the same setbacks, which in this case is 15 feet from the property line.
Commissioner Koshy questioned if we were setting a new precedent of allowing off site
signage in commercial districts. He presented the case of if Hy-Vee would have been
allowed to have signage on this parcel. Mr. Kass advised that commercial areas that
would look to do a similar strategy would have to apply just as with this case, and Staff
would review each case for feasibility.
Commissioner Streit questioned if the access off of Hickman had been acquired as the
sign seemed pointless if it did not indicate a connection point. Mr. Kass advised that staff
continues to discuss the right of way Acquisition. Mr. Arp advised that the client had a
goal opening of fall of 2024, which should allow time for the access to be sorted,
however, if that access point was not able to be acquired then there is no project or sign.
Commissioner Koelker questioned if staff thought the submitted concern was applicable.
Mr. Kass advised that it was not a concern, with the depictions provided by the applicant
showing the updates, it appears that the visibility of the existing businesses would be
improved by the alterations, instead of hindered by it.
Commissioner Hoifeldt moved to approve the rezoning related to a change from R-2 (One & Two
Family Residential) to C-1 (Community and Highway Service Commercial District) / PD-1
(Planned Development Overlay District) and amending the existing PD-1 (Planned Development
Overlay District) [Waukee Towne Center]. The motion was seconded by commissioner Koshy.
Ayes: Koelker, Hoifeldt, Streit, Tessau and Koshy. Nays: none. Motion Carried.
STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: Staff would recommend approval of the proposed
rezoning request.
RECOMMENDATION: Hold the Public Hearing.

3 of 3
The proposed rezoning of 0.07-acre from R-2 to C-1/PD-1 is not a significant amount of area to negatively impact the
existing single-family residential neighborhood to the west and south. The Planned Development would limit the use of
the area to only permit a monument sign. In addition, the proposed zoning is consistent with the commercial zoning to
the east and north.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The proposed zoning district is generally consistent surrounding zoning and existing land uses. Staff recommends
approval of the rezoning for Waukee Towne Center.
