SYNOPSIS INCLUDING PRO & CON: The subject property is located west of SE Alice’s

The rezoning sign was placed on the property by the July 18, 2022, deadline. Staff has not
received any correspondence regarding this request.
The concept plan provided identifies an approximately 300,000 square foot shopping/retail center
along with several parcels for additional commercial/retail development. A large parking lot is
shown within the area of the shopping center and would provide parking for the shopping/retail
center. Each individual parcel outside of the sopping area would be responsible for provided its
own parking. Included within the shopping/retail center is a potential amenity area for users of the
center. Amenities within this could include an amphitheater, walking trails, playground,
sculpture, and a skating rink. A 30-foot landscape buffer will be required along the west boundary
and the southwest corner of the property to screen the proposed development from adjoining
residential development.
Access to the property is shown to be provided from SE Laurel Street. In the future, a connection
to the existing access to Hickman Road to the north may be constructed to provide an additional
access point to the development.
The Planned Development (PD) outlines specific provisions related to the proposed development.
Included within the PD are details related to loading docks/screening, drive thru establishments,
parking, and architectural intent. Other specific provisions relate to the allowance of multi-tenant
monument signs located along SE Alice’s Road to advertise tenants within the retail/shopping
center that do not have direct street frontage along SE Alice’s Road. Specific requirements have
been included to require that the sign must incorporate the development name into each sign. In
addition to monument signs, the applicant wishes to create a unique entry monument feature for
H1
the development. Provisions have been included to allow for the entry monument feature to be
developed.
The subject property is identified as Neighborhood Commercial and Community Commercial in
the Imagine Waukee 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Neighborhood Commercial is defined as
commercial uses consisting of retail, office, or personal services with areas ranging from 20,000
to 125,000 square feet and intended to serve a trade area up to a 3-mile radius. Community

The proposed 300,000 square foot shopping/retail center area is within the range of those
included for the Community Commercial classification. In addition, the property is located along
SE Alice’s Road and just south of Hickman Road, both streets are classified as major arterial
streets.
FISCAL IMPACT INCLUDING COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT: The Planning and Zoning
Commission reviewed the rezoning request on July 26, 2022, and
recommended approval:
Approval of Rezoning related to a change from C-1A(Neighborhood Commercial
District)/PD-1 (Planned Development Overlay District) and C-1 (Community and Highway
Service Commercial District)/ PD-1 (Planned Development Overlay) to C-1 (Community
and Highway Service Commercial District) / PD-1 (Planned Development Overlay)
[Waukee Towne Center]
Community Development Director, Andy Kass, introduced the request for approval of a rezoning
related 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,
containing approximately 48 acres. The applicant has submitted consent from 54.37% of
property owners within 250 feet of the property to be rezoned and notification to the adjacent
owners was mailed on July 15, 2022. The applicant has also held a public neighborhood meeting
with surrounding property owners in May of 2022.
Mr. Kass advised that the concept plan identifies an approximately 300,000 square foot
shopping/retail center and several commercial/retail parcels as well as amenities such as trails,
and sculptures all of which will require additional approvals at the time of design and
construction. Access to the property is shown to be provided from SE Laurel Street additional
accesses are being investigated. The rezoning request unifies the property under one zoning
district and would update the planned development overlay to support the concept plan and
provide details for signage, loading docks/screening, drive thru requirements, parking, and
architectural intent.
At this time staff would recommend approval of a rezoning for Waukee Towne Center based on
conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
Commissioner Streit questioned what was outstanding to get the connection to Hickman
Road. Staff advised that staff has been unsuccessful acquiring the necessary land for the
connection from the current landowner.
Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned if, pending the connection to Hickman Road coming
to fruition, the city would allow signage on Hickman Road as well. Mr. Kass advised that
if one of the tenants were to purchase the land to install the sign, then there is the
potential for signage on Hickman Road.
Commissioner Broderick questioned if there would be a Master Owners Association. Mr.
Kass advised that there is the expectation that one will exist to manage shared areas and
private streets.
Commissioner Tessau questioned what the average height of the anchor store would be.
A representative of the applicant, Ed Arp, advised that the building is approximately 40
feet tall.
Commissioner Streit questioned if there were any traffic impacts that would cause
concern. Mr. Kass advised that staff and the applicant are still working through all site
related logistics.
Commissioner Koshy moved to approve a Rezoning related to a change from C-1A
(Neighborhood Commercial District)/PD-1 (Planned Development Overlay District) and C-1
(Community and Highway Service Commercial District)/ PD-1 (Planned Development Overlay)
to C-1 (Community and Highway Service Commercial District) / PD-1 (Planned Development
Overlay) [Waukee Towne Center]. The motion was seconded by commissioner Broderick. Ayes:
Hoifeldt, Streit, Inman, Koshy, Broderick, and Tessau. Nays: none. Motion Carried.
STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: Staff would recommend approval of the proposed
rezoning request based on its conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
