CITY OF WAUKEE, IOWA
CITY COUNCIL MEETING COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: June 7, 2021
AGENDA ITEM: Public hearing on an ordinance to amend Chapter 169, Zoning
Ordinance, City of Waukee, Iowa, by rezoning certain property from A-1
Agricultural District and COS Conservation & Open Space District to R-
3 Multi-Family Residential District / PD-1 Planned Development
Overlay and R-4 Row Dwelling & Townhome District / PD-1 Planned
Development Overlay [Courtyards at Parkside]
FORMAT: Public Hearing
SYNOPSIS INCLUDING PRO & CON: Staff has received a request for rezoning of
approximately 33.38-acres of property from A-1 and COS to R-3/PD-1
and R-4/PD-1. The property is located east of NW 10th Street and north
of NW Douglas Parkway. The applicant requests that 13.80-acres be
rezoned to R-3/PD-1 and 20.30-acres be rezoned to R-4/PD-1.
The applicant received greater than 50% consent from property owners
within 250-feet of each area proposed to be rezoned. Staff received one
email from an adjoining neighbor regarding the request. The email has
been attached for your review.
The concept plan provided shows 66 detached single-family residential
units within the area proposed to be zoned R-4/PD-1. These units will be
accessed from NW Douglas Parkway and NW 6th Street. The streets
internal to the site will be private streets. The units are intended to be
owner occupied, however, the common areas surrounding each unit will
be maintained by a homeowners association. In addition to the proposed
units, a clubhouse and pool is shown that will be available to the
residents of the development. A 30-foot landscape buffer will be required
along NW Douglas Parkway and along NW 6th Street. The concept plan
identifies 84 townhome units within the area proposed to be rezoned to
R-3/PD-1. The units will be accessed from NW 6th Street via private
streets. A landscape buffer will be required along NW Douglas Parkway
and along NW 6th Street.
As described above, the concept plan, indicates a total of 150 units
between the two areas, however, based on the maximum densities
allowed in the proposed underlying R-3 and R-4 districts, a total of 421
units could be built. The applicant wishes to have flexibility in the
development of this project in the type of units that can be allowed to be
constructed within the project area. The Planned Development includes
provisions to allow the following uses to be constructed within the area
proposed to be zoned R-3/PD-1: detached townhomes, attached
H2
townhomes, apartments, and condominiums. In addition, the Planned
Development includes provisions to allow the following uses to be
constructed within the area proposed to be zoned R-4/PD-1: detached
townhomes and attached townhomes.
The attached Planned Development includes provisions that would be
specific to the development of this project. The provisions include
setbacks, architectural requirements, street lighting along private streets,
landscaping, and easement dedication for trail development.
NW 6th Street is shown to be extended north of NW Douglas Parkway on
the concept plan. NW 6th Street is considered a major collector street that
will have a trail constructed on one side of it. The concept plan shows
NW 6th Street stopping at the drainageway. The long-term intent is that
NW 6th Street is extended across the drainage way and connects to the
north into the single-family development north of the drainageway.
Parkland dedication requirements will apply to the project because of its
residential nature. The required amount of parkland for both the
Courtyards at Parkside and adjacent Parkside projects is 9.3-acres. The
concept plan for the Parkside project identifies the dedication of 7.5-
acres to the City for greenway preservation and parkland dedication.
Staff will work with the applicants to determine an approach to satisfy
the remaining parkland required.
The subject property is classified as Single Family Residential, Medium
Density Residential, High Density Residential, Open Space, and
Neighborhood Commercial in the Imagine Waukee 2040:
Comprehensive Plan. The proposed density shown on the concept plan
for the area proposed to be zoned R-3/PD1 is 6.42 units per acre. The
density shown for the area proposed to be zoned R-4/PD-1 is 3.25 units
per acre. Both of these proposed densities fall within the ranges of either
the Single-Family Residential or the Medium Density Residential
classifications as described above. With the flexibility that would be
allowed with this Planned Development, staff has no concern if the
density were to increase than what is shown, particularly within the area
proposed to be zoned R-3/PD-1 as that area is located at the intersection
of two significant streets, NW 6th Street and NW Douglas Parkway.
FISCAL IMPACT INCLUDING COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT: The Planning and Zoning
Commission reviewed the rezoning request on March 9, 2021 and
recommended approval:
Approval of a Rezoning related to a change from A-1 (Agricultural District) and COS
(Conservation & Open Space District) to R-3 (Multi-Family Residential District)/PD-1
(Planned Development Overlay) and R-4 (Row Dwelling & Townhome District)/ PD-1
(Planned Development Overlay) [Courtyards at Parkside]
Senior City Planner, Andy Kass, introduced the request for rezoning for a medium and high-
density residential development as submitted by the applicant, Temple Holdings, LP, and the City
of Waukee. The subject property is generally located east of NW 10th Street and north of NW
Douglas Parkway, containing approximately 33.38 acres. Notification to adjacent property
owners was mailed on May 14th, 2021. At this time the applicant has gained consent from 64.8%
of surrounding property owners. Mr. Kass advised the that a small portion of the property
included as part of the request is currently owned by the City of Waukee which is excess right of
way acquired for NW Douglas Parkway construction that is no longer needed upon completion of
the street. As part of a Developer’s Agreement the City will deed the property to the adjacent
landowner once street construction is complete.
To date staff has received correspondence from the adjacent homeowner of 650 NW Little
Walnut Creek Drive. Mr. Kass read the request for additional buffering, screening, and/or fencing
between the Townhome project and their personal property aloud to those in attendance as the
homeowner was unable to attend the meeting, as well as provided a copy of the request to all
Commission members.
Mr. Kass explained that the concept plan provided shows 66 detached single-family residential
units in the proposed R-4/PD-1 area. The units will be accessed from NW Douglas Parkway and
NW 6th Street, with all internal streets being privately owned and maintained by a Homeowner’s
Association. The concept plan also identifies a clubhouse and pool on the site. 84 townhome units
are shown within the area proposed as R-3/PD-1 to be accessed off of NW 6th Street via private
streets. Landscape buffers are required along NW Douglas Parkway and along NW 6th Street.
Mr. Kass advised that the utilization of the Planned Development Overlays for the subject
property is to provide the applicant flexibility in the development as to the type of units that can
be allowed, mainly extended the ability to provide a detached townhome product within the R-
3/PD-1 area, as well as setback, architectural, street lighting, landscape and easement
requirements that the applicant is held to in exchange for the flexibility in use. Parkland
dedication requirements is approximately 9.3 acres for both the Courtyards at Parkside and
Parkside projects. A majority of that requirement is satisfied for greenway preservation and
parkland. Staff and the applicant are working to satisfy the remaining parkland dedication
required.
Mr. Kass addressed the buffering request between the R-4/PD-1 district and the Existing
properties of Sahu Acres. Stating that, due to the product being a detached, single family use, it
does not require buffering. However, if the applicant were to suggest an attached type of product,
Staff would need to review for the placement of a buffer at that time.
Commissioner Koshy clarified that this area has the creek between the R-4 and existing
property. Mr. Kass advised that was correct.
Commissioner Hoifeldt addressed the applicant and questioned if they were aware that
buffer requirements may be necessary in the event of a change in product. Nick Jensen, a
representative of the applicant, advised that the applicant would be fine with placing a
buffer in the event of product change to an attached type of development. Mr. Jensen
advised that the product anticipated would be for 55+ clientele and have a price point
around $500,000.
Commissioner Hoifeldt moved to approve the rezoning from A-1 (Agricultural District) and COS
(Conservation & Open Space District) to R-3 (Multi-Family Residential District)/PD-1 (Planned
Development Overlay) and R-4 (Row Dwelling & Townhome District)/ PD-1 (Planned
Development Overlay) [Courtyards at Parkside], subject to any remaining staff comments.
Commissioner Ward seconded the motion. Ayes: Streit, Koshy, Conley, Broderick, Ward, and
Hoifeldt. Nays: None. Motion Carries.
STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: Staff would recommend approval of the proposed
rezoning request based on its conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
RECOMMENDATION: Hold the Public Hearing.

connects to the north into the single-family development north of the drainageway.
Parkland dedication requirements will apply to the project because of its residential nature. The required amount of
parkland for both the Courtyards at Parkside and adjacent Parkside projects is 9.3-acres. The concept plan for the
Parkside project identifies the dedication of 7.5-acres to the City for greenway preservation and parkland dedication.
Staff will work with the applicants to determine an approach to satisfy the remaining parkland required.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The subject property is classified as Single Family Residential, Medium Density Residential, High Density Residential, Open
Space, and Neighborhood Commercial in the Imagine Waukee 2040: Comprehensive Plan. The comprehensive plan defines
the referenced land use classifications as follows:
Single Family Residential is defined as traditional forms of single family housing with lot sizes ranging from
8,000 square feet to 0.50-acres in area with an average density of 2 to 4 units per acre.
Medium Density Residential is defined as a variety of attached side-by-side townhome and row home
products with densities ranging from 4 to 12 units per acre.
Open Space is defined as areas intended for park development or open space conservation.
The proposed density shown on the concept plan for the area proposed to be zoned R-3/PD1 is 6.42 units per acre. The
density shown for the area proposed to be zoned R-4/PD-1 is 3.25 units per acre. Both of these proposed densities fall
within the ranges of either the Single-Family Residential or the Medium Density Residential classifications as described above.
With the flexibility that would be allowed with this Planned Development, staff has no concern if the density were to
increase than what is shown, particularly within the area proposed to be zoned R-3/PD-1 as that area is located at the
intersection of two significant streets, NW 6th Street and NW Douglas Parkway.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The proposed rezoning is generally consistent with the land uses identified in the Comprehensive Plan. Based on the
conformance with the Comprehensive Plan staff recommends approval of the rezoning for the Courtyards at Parkside.
