CITY OF WAUKEE, IOWA
CITY COUNCIL MEETING COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: December 4, 2017
AGENDA ITEM: On an ordinance to amend Chapter 301, Zoning Ordinance, City of
Waukee, Iowa by rezoning and changing certain property therein from
C-1A (Neighborhood Commercial District) to M-1A (Limited Industrial
District), a parcel to be known as Gilcrest Jewett.
FORMAT: Public Hearing
SYNOPSIS INCLUDING PRO & CON: The applicant, Gilcrest Jewett Lumber Company,
requests approval of a rezoning of approximately 0.48 acre of property
located north of SE University Avenue and west of SE Alice’s Road.
The specific request is to rezone the property from C-1A, Neighborhood
Commercial District to M-1A, Limited Industrial District in order to
expand the existing outdoor storage area that serves the adjacent Gilcrest
Jewett lumber facility.
The concept plan submitted with the application indicates a small gravel
storage area expansion. The area will include fencing and landscaping to
provide screening of the storage area.
The 2011 Alice’s Road Corridor Master plan identifies the subject
property as Retail Neighborhood, however, Staff feels that the request is
isolated and the integrity of the remaining 3.5 acres of C-1A zoned land
is being protected.
FISCAL IMPACT INCLUDING COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT: The Planning and Zoning
Commission reviewed the request at their November 28, 2017,
meeting and recommended approval.
Approval of a Rezoning Related to a Change from C-1A (Neighborhood Commercial
District) to M-1A (Limited Industrial District) [Gilcrest Jewett]
Senior City Planner, Andy Kass, introduced the request for rezoning made by the applicant
Gilcrest Jewett Lumber Company. The subject property is located west of SE Alice’s Road and
north of SE University Avenue containing approximately 0.48 acres. Mr. Kass explained that the
rezoning would allow for a small expansion of existing storage, which would require fencing and
a landscape buffer. Currently there has been no correspondence to staff for or against the project.
At this time staff recommends approval subject to remaining staff comments and review of any
legal documents.

Commissioner Fontenot questioned if this was just fenced in gravel area. Mr. Kass advised that
was correct.
Commissioner Streit questioned if the rest of the Gilcrest property was zoned M1-A. Mr. Kass
advised that was correct.
Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned why the landscape buffer was required. Director of
Development Services, Brad Deets, advised that the City has updated its landscape requirements
since Gilcrest was built.
Commissioner Fontenot moved to approve the rezoning related to a change from C-1A
(Neighborhood Commercial District) to M-1A (Limited Industrial District). The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Tietz. Ayes: Fontenot, Streit, Broderick, Hoifeldt, and Tietz. Nays:
None. Motion Carries.
STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: The proposed rezoning request is generally consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan and 2011 Alice’s Road Corridor Master
Plan and adjacent land uses.
RECOMMENDATION: Introduce the Ordinance and approve the first consideration.

ABOVE: Concept layout of the proposed development. Area proposed to be rezoned is outlined in RED.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The concept plan for the development identifies a 0.48 acre area of the property to be rezoned from C-1A
(Neighborhood Commercial District) to M-1A (Limited Industrial District) to allow for a small expansion of an
existing outdoor storage area for the Gilcrest Jewett Lumber Company facility that is immediately to the
north and west. Outdoor storage is not allowed in the C-1A zoning district.
As part of the site plan ordinance a fence with privacy slats or another type of opaque fence will be required
to be installed for the storage expansion. In addition, the concept plan identifies a landscape buffer along the
east side of the storage area to provide additional screening.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff is comfortable with the proposed rezoning as it is consistent with the adjacent land use and provisions
are in place to provide appropriate screening. The integrity of the Alice’s Road Corridor Master Plan is still
being preserved as there will still be approximately 3.5 acres on the site zoned for Neighborhood Commercial
uses. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning.
