CITY OF WAUKEE, IOWA
CITY COUNCIL MEETING COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: October 1, 2018
AGENDA ITEM: Consideration of approval of a Motion to set a Public Hearing Date of
October 15, 2018, as the date of public hearing on an ordinance to amend
Chapter 301, Zoning Ordinance, City of Waukee, Iowa, by rezoning
certain property from A-1 Agricultural District to M-1 Light Industrial
District (Lot 1 of Hougham Subdivision)
FORMAT: Motion
SYNOPSIS INCLUDING PRO & CON: Staff has received a request for rezoning of
approximately 8 acres of property from A-1 Agricultural District to M-1
Light Industrial District. The property is located south of Interstate 80
and west of Ute Avenue.
The subject property was recently approved for annexation by the City of
Waukee. Note that the annexation will not be finalized until it has been
approved by the City Development Board which is scheduled for
November. The applicant is requesting consideration to rezone the
property subject to approval of the annexation.
The Zoning Ordinance states that the applicant should provide signatures
of consent from 50% of the surrounding property. In this case, because
of its location, the property is only surrounded by 3 adjacent properties
with one property making up 58% of the surrounding property. The
applicant has been unable to obtain the signature from the one property
owner and therefore falls short of the 50% provision.
The Ordinance stipulates that the City Council can set a public hearing
on the applicant’s behalf in the case that an applicant is unable to receive
signatures from surrounding property owners. The applicant is
requesting the City Council go ahead and set a public hearing date to
discuss the proposal.
FISCAL IMPACT INCLUDING COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT:
STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: Staff would recommend a public hearing date be set for
October 15, 2018, to further discuss the proposed changes.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the motion.
