Re:

Zoning Change - National Guard Armory Property - 1421 Park Ave.

INTRODUCTION:

On September 6, 2007 the Cityentered into an Agreement for the Lease and

Conveyance of Real Property with the Adjutant General of Iowa on behalf of and as Chairman

of the Iowa Armory Board (public document no. 90255) which granted the state a long term

lease of 17.276 acres of real estate located in the southeast portion of the Muscatine Municipal

Airport in exchange for the current National Guard Armory property and buildings located at

1421 Park Avenue. The

acreage located on the airport property is currently being developed as

a joint readiness facility for both the Army Reserves and the Iowa National Guard. When

complete, the National Guard will relocate to the new readiness center and the property at 1421

Park Avenue will be transferred to the City.

BACKGROUND:

The existing building and property located at 1421 Park Avenue is zoned R-3,

Single-Family Residential. The Future Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan adopted in

2002 calls for the property to be developed commercially. In order for the City to realize the

potential sale and development of the property, a zoning change is requested to C-1,

Neighborhood and General Commercial. The zoning change was reviewed by the Planning

Commission during their June 14, 2011 meeting and they have unanimously recommended the

change of zoning as outlined herein.

RECOMMENDATION/RATIONALE:

Following the scheduled Public Hearing, It is

recommended that the City Council take action to approve the ordinance changing the zoning

for the property located at 1421 Park Avenue from R-3, Single-Family Residence to C-1,

Neighborhood & General Commercial.
