MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and Council
From: Aric A. Schroeder, City Planner-
Date: 05/18/15
RE: Overview of the following proposed Code amendments: 1) International Property
Maintenance Code, 2) New Chapter 5, Parking in Residential Areas, of Title 6,
Motor Vehicles and Traffic, 3) Chapter 4, Litter Control, of Title 4, Public Health
and Safety, 4) Zoning Ordinance No. 5079, and 5) Chapter 2, Main Street Waterloo
Redevelopment Authority, of Title 2, Boards and Commissions
Staff is proposing multiple amendments to several different sections of the Code of
Ordinances and to the City of Waterloo Zoning Ordinance No. 5079. This memo is
designed to provide an overview summary of the significant changes proposed, along with a
brief summary and background information on the purpose of the proposed changes This
summary does not cover all changes, and a complete copy of the proposed changes, showing
strike through of wording proposed to be removed and underline for wording proposed to be
added has been provided.
International Property Maintenance Code
Staff has been working on an overhaul of the International Property Maintenance Code
(IPMC), which is Article B of Chapter 1, Building Code, of Title 9, Building Regulations..
Significant changes include:
Repeal the currently adopted Code, which is the 2009 edition, and replace it with the
2015 edition. The Building Inspections Department will be working to update the
various codes to their 2015 edition as prepared by the International Code Council.
Updating the IPMC now will avoid action on a second amendment in the near future.
Establish the Building Inspections Department as the department of property
maintenance inspection (term used in the IPMC) and establish the Building Official as
the appointed Code Official. Also appoints the Code Enforcement officers, building
inspectors, fire inspectors, and officers of the Waterloo Police Department as Deputies
authorized to enforce the IPMC.
Section 111.21 that provides for alternate members of the IPMC appeals board is
deleted, as alternate members are not utilized, and Section 111.25 is deleted that
provides reference to compensation of members, as no compensation is provided.
CITY WEBSITE: www.cityofwaterlooiowa.com
WE'RE WORKING FOR YOU!
An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer
- Section 112.4 is reworded to provide consistent wording with other codes pertaining to
stop work orders and violations of the Code.
- Section 302.4 that provides for weed control is deleted, as weed control provisions are
covered by existing Code (7-5B).
Section 302.8 that regulates junk vehicles is deleted, as junk vehicles are covered by
existing Code (4-4-7).
Section 302.8.1 that regulates parking in R-1 and R-2 Zoned Districts is deleted. This
section was an "add on" section to the IPMC (not part of the IPMC as published by the
International Code Council). The entire section (approximately 8 pages of text) is being
moved to a new chapter of the Code (6-5). In additional to being moved to a new
chapter, the regulations are being substantially overhauled as well, and the summary of
those changes is below under the section for "New Chapter 5, Parking in Residential
Areas".
Section 304.14 that regulates insect screens is deleted, as insect screens are covered by
the existing Building Code.
Section 308.2.1.1 that regulates waste container size is updated to note a minimum
requirement of 2 cubic yards of capacity for each increment of 4 units, and wording
added to note appropriate waste containers shall be provided for non-residential or
mixed-use developments.
Section 403.7 is a new section providing requirements for carbon monoxide alarms. This
wording is requested by the Building Official to address alarms for existing rental units.
- Section 602.3 that regulates heat supply for dwelling units and Section 602.4 that
regulates heat supply for occupiable work spaces are deleted and replaced with wording
that is consistent with other Code.
New Chapter 5, Parking in Residential Areas
As noted above, a large section of "add on" regulations to the IPMC regulating residential
parking is being removed from the IPMC and added as a new Chapter 5, Parking in
Residential Areas, of Title 6, Motor Vehicles and Traffic. Although this entire chapter is a
"new" chapter, the provided copy of the proposed amendment still shows strike through and
underlines to show how the wording is proposed to be changed from how it was worded
under the IPMC. There are a significant amount of changes being proposed, including:
- Section 6-5-2 Definitions (which under the IPMC was section 302.8.1.2) is updated,
including an updated definition of DRIVEWAY, a new definition of a DRIVEWAY
EXTENSION, an updated definition of VEHICLE to be consistent with definitions in
other Code, an updated definition of FRONT YARD, REAR YARD, and SIDE YARD,
and deleting the definition of JUNKED VEHICLES.
staff memo 05-18-15 Overview of Multiple Amendments to be reviewed by the Council Ordinance Committee
Section 6-5-3 Standards Governing the Off -Street Parking or Storage of Vehicles as an
Accessory Use on Residential Properties (which under the IPMC was section 302.8.1.3)
is substantially updated, including:
o Current provision limiting the number of vehicles parked outside on a
property to no more than 4 vehicles is changed to exclude recreational
vehicles and trailers with a recreational vehicle on it. The number of
recreational vehicles allowed is increased from 2 to 3. A provision is added
allowing the maximum number of vehicles to be increased to a number not
more than the number of licensed drivers legally residing at the property.
o Minimum depth of surface types is provided, including 5 inches of concrete,
four inches of asphalt on a 6 inch rock base, or 6 inches of gravel. Patio
pavers, bricks, or similar products CAN be an approved surface as long as
placed over 4 inches of rock base, and the parking surface must be at least as
wide as the vehicle (can't just put pavers under the tires). Gravel is no longer
an approved parking surface in a front yard beyond the driveway (so gravel
is still permitted in the rear or side yard and in the front yard for the
driveway, but not a driveway extension). Existing gravel areas in a front
yard that extend past the driveway (so driveway extensions) have until
December 31, 2016 to be brought into compliance with the requirements
(both size limits and hard surfacing requirements). Existing wording limiting
the area of the front yard that can be used for parking area to 33% is
removed. The proposed wording is designed to ensure that the majority of
front yards are not used as a parking area, which can detract from the
residential character of a neighborhood and lead to other enforcement issues.
The previous limitation of 33% was difficult to calculate and not very
effective.
o Driveway extensions are limited to a maximum of 10' in width measured
perpendicular to the driveway. An exception to the 10' is provided for
circular drivees approved by the City Engineer and for a driveway
turnaround (hammerhead) if not used for parking. Existing driveway
extensions that do not comply with the requirements that are surfaced with
asphalt or concrete are permitted to continue and to be rebuilt, as long as said
rebuild does not increase the non -conformity.
o Current provision prohibiting recreational vehicles from parking in a front
yard is amended to add an exception for temporary periods not exceeding 7
days.
o Current front yard parking citation section is amended to add an exception
for front yard parking for work in progress, such as construction, tree
trimming, etc., or temporary activities such as deliveries or vehicle washing
not exceeding 2 hours.
- Section 6-5-4 is created detailing the impoundment of illegally parked vehicles.
- Section 6-5-5, Effective Date, is amended to note that current residents owning
recreational vehicles on the effective date shall have until December 31, 2015 to
conform to the parking provisions of the chapter.
staff memo 05-18-15 Overview of Multiple Amendments to be reviewed by the Council Ordinance Committee
- Section 6-5-6, Enforcement, is amended to clarify that Code Enforcement officers and
officers of the Waterloo Police Department are authorized to enforce the provisions of
the chapter.
Section 6-5-7 is created providing for an appeal process to the Parking in Residential
Areas Chapter. Currently the parking regulations are under the IPMC and the IPMC
appeals process would apply, but a new appeal process was needed with removal of
these regulations from the IPMC. The proposed appeal process would require that
appeals go before a hearing of the Council or its designated committee, which would
allow the Council to have such appeals come before the full Council at a regular
meeting, or the Council could take action to designate a new or existing Council
committee to hear the appeals.
Chapter 4, Litter Control, of Title 4, Public Health and Safety
The existing IPMC has regulations addressing junk vehicles, however these regulations are
proposed to be removed so that they do not duplicate or conflict with the regulations
contained in Section 4-4, and the regulations are being updated with multiple changes,
including:
Section4-4-4 is amended by adding a subsection C to add restrictions on accumulation
of litter, garbage or other refuse that constitutes a public health nuisance in vehicles.
This wording is requested by the Code Enforcement officers to address situations where
significant amounts of junk is confined within vehicles that can create a public health
nuisance but the vehicles are otherwise legal.
- Section 4-4-7, Junk Motor Vehicles, is substantially updated including:
o Addition of a definition of ACTIVELY RESTORED, which includes
requiring documentation that a vehicle is being actively restored.
o The identified Code Enforcement Office is switched from the Building
Official or Neighborhood Services Coordinator to the Superintendent of
Waste Management Services, who oversees the Code Enforcement division.
o Addition of a definition of Special Interest Vehicle
o Notice of Violation section is updated with wording allowing notice to be
sent by first-class mail AND posting the notice on the property, and certain
situations where notice by publication is allowed.
o An exception is provided for a junk vehicle that is either an antique that is a
1972 model year or older that is being actively restored or an operable
special interest vehicle or a special interest vehicle that is being actively
restored when such vehicles are stored in a rear or side yard and fully
enclosed behind a solid fence at least 6 feet in height. Any junk vehicle
stored within an enclosed building would continue to be exempted.
o Enforcement officer is switched from "health" officer to "code enforcement"
officer, as the Health Department no longer oversees the enforcement of this
Section.

- Section 4-4-13, Notice of Violation is updated to have consistent wording with other
Notice of Violation Sections of the Code.
Zoning Ordinance No. 5079
Staff has been working on multiple updates to the Zoning Ordinance. The Planning,
Programming and Zoning Commission held a hearing on March 3, 2015 and unanimously
recommended approval of the proposed amendment. Significant changes include:
Section 10-5-1 (E) Accessory Structures: this amendment will provide that after July 1,
2015, no single family or two family dwelling shall be constructed or moved onto a
property without having a minimum enclosed garage built. The proposed minimum is
14' x 20' for single family, and the proposed minimum for two family dwellings is that
each unit must have a 14' x 20' or a single accessory structure that is 22' x 20' would be
required. The amendment would also provide an exception for accessory structures that
are 120 SF or less and are 8' in height or less from having to meet setback requirements.
- Section10-6-1 (A)(14) Single family home replacement in the "A-1". Similar to the "M-
1" Light Industrial District, the "A-1" Agricultural District currently has a provision
allowing for homes that were legally built prior to adoption of the Zoning Ordinance
back in 1969 to be considered a legal use and not a legal non -conforming use, including
allowing the dwelling to be rebuilt. However, the "M-1" District has a provision
requiring that such a rebuild must occur within 2 years of the removal of the original
dwelling or within 2 years of removal of a legal replacement structure. The proposed
amendment would add this same 2 year requirement to the "A-1" District.
Sections 10-8-1 (A)(1) and 10-9-1 (A)(2) Two family conversions. The Ordinance
currently has a provision in the "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District that
requires alterations and conversions of single family dwellings into two family
dwellings to obtain Special Permit approval by the Board of Adjustment after
recommendation of the Commission. The proposed amendment would move this
wording from the "R-2" District to the "R-1" One and Two Family Residence District.
This was an oversight by staff during the updates to the Zoning Ordinance that were
completed with Ordinance 5079 in 2011, as at that time, staff was initially proposing to
no longer allow two family dwellings in the "R-1" District. The proposal to no longer
allow two family dwellings in the "R-1" was dropped from that amendment, but staff
did not catch at that time the need to then move this wording to the "R-1" District.
- Section 10-14-1 (A)(6) Exclusion of freestanding commercial parking lots. The
amendment would add this use to the list of uses specifically excluded as a principal
permitted use in the "C-1" Neighborhood Commercial District.
Section 10-15-1 (A)(29) Freestanding commercial parking lots. The amendment would
add this use as a principal permitted use in the "C-2" Commercial District upon approval
of a Special Permit by the Board of Adjustment after recommendation of the Commission.
- Sections 10-22-1 (A)(1), 10-22-3 (A), 10-22-4 (A), and 10-22-5 (A) Adding reference to
flood zones as designated on the Flood Insurance Rate Map. The current regulations
refer to the Flood Insurance Rate Map but use a different name for the various flood
staff memo 05-18-15 Overview of Multiple Amendments to be reviewed by the Council Ordinance Committee
zones than what they are designated as on the flood maps. By adding the flood zone
designations from the flood maps it will make it more clear which floodplain regulations
apply to particular flood zones. The amendment also adds accessory and incidental and
detention facilities to the Zone A. Staff was also proposing to add such wording to the
Floodway, but the Commission tabled action on this portion of the amendment.
Sections 10-25-2 (B)(3), 10-25-2 (B)(9) and 10-25-2 (B)(18) Parking exception for
multi -family row dwellings. Currently the Ordinance prohibits any multi -family
development from having parking located in a required front yard and from having
parking or driveway areas that require the backward motion of any vehicle on a public
street. The regulations were primarily intended and work well for standard apartment
style multi -family developments where units are typically stacked, with separated units
on different floors, or on multiple sides of the same floor (units facing the front and units
facing the back). Row -dwelling developments with individual driveways to attached
garages have become a very typical and frequently used construction type in this area,
but the regulations are not well suited to accommodate them along public streets. There
is concern that if not properly regulated, allowing such a development style could lead to
minimum off-street parking provided, and very little on -street parking being available
due to the layout of individual driveways with insufficient space between driveways to
accommodate on -street parking. This amendment would allow this type of development
style, but would require that the buildings be setback a minimum of 40' instead of the
more typical 20' setback, allowing for approximately twice as much off-street parking.
Section 10-25-2 (C)(4) Exceptions to hard surfacing. The Ordinance currently has
provisions requiring vehicular use areas to be properly hard surfaced, but has a short list
of uses that are excepted from having to provide hard surfacing, which includes one and
two family dwellings. The proposed Ordinance would still exempt rear and side yard
parking and vehicular use areas to one and two family dwellings from having to meet the
hard surfacing requirements, but would eliminate the exception for parking and vehicular
use areas in the front yard, and specify that after July 1, 2015 no single family or two
family dwelling shall be constructed or moved onto a property without a properly hard
surfaced driveway and off-street parking areas when located in the front yard, and no
existing one or two family dwelling shall add or reconstruct a driveway or off-street
parking area when located in the front yard without proper hard surfacing. No existing
dwelling (single or other) shall be converted to add additional units without all required
off-street parking and vehicular use areas being properly hard surfaced. Existing one or
two family dwellings with gravel or other non-compliant parking or vehicular use areas
in a front yard would be allowed to maintain the non-compliant areas as a legal non-
conforming use. Although proposed changes to the International Property Maintenance
Code (IPMC) require that "driveway extensions" not properly hard surfaced be brought
into compliance with hard surfacing requirements. The proposed changes to hard
surfacing will help address issues with gravel washing out onto streets and sidewalks
(which could contribute to non-compliance with federally mandated National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements), and improves the aesthetics of a
residential neighborhood.
Section 10-26-1 (C)(4)(g.) Menu Signs with speakers. The Ordinance currently allows
for a menu sign with speaker as long as it does not face an abutting residential district.
The amendment would change "residential district" to "residential use or "R-1" or "R-2"
district. This will not preclude a menu sign with speaker if it faces a non-residential use
staff memo 05-18-15 Overview of Multiple Amendments to be reviewed by the Council Ordinance Committee
permitted in a residential district, such as professional offices in an "R-4" Multiple
Residence District.
Section 10-27-1 (H)(27) Dwelling conversions. Consistent with the other proposed
changes to this use, this would ensure consistent wording throughout the Ordinance as it
pertains to regulating dwelling conversions.
Section 10-27-1 (H)(28) Freestanding commercial parking lots. This use is being added
to the "C-2" Commercial District in an above amendment, and the change in this section
will list it as a Special Permit use requiring approval of the Board of Adjustment after
recommendation of the Commission.
Section 10-28-4 (A)(6) Waiting period for Special Permits that are denied by the Board
of Adjustment. This amendment would delete this section, removing the wording
providing for a 6 month waiting period for Special Permit requests that are denied by the
Board of Adjustment, which currently conflicts with the Administrative Rules adopted
by the Board of Adjustment, which requires a 4 month waiting period.
Section 10-29-3 (H) Effective period for Commission recommendations. This
amendment would add a one year effective period for Commission recommendations on
any matter that has not been acted on by the City Council or Board of Adjustment. Any
such request not acted on by the Council or Board of Adjustment within that year would
be required to go back to the Commission for additional review and recommendation
before it could move on to the Council or Board of Adjustment.
Section 10-32-1 (C) Waiting period for requests that are denied by the Commission.
The Ordinance currently has a provision that requires a 4 month waiting period for any
change in Zoning that has been denied by the City Council before a new application
coving the same property or portion thereof can be considered by the Commission. The
amendment would add the wording "unless the request changes significantly", which
would allow for a significantly changed request to be re -submitted within the 4 -month
period. This wording is consistent with wording that was recently added to the
Administrative Rules adopted by the Commission.
Chapter 2, Main Street Waterloo Redevelopment Authority, of Title 2, Boards and
Commissions
A proposed change to the City of Waterloo Zoning Ordinance No. 5079 includes a reference
to the Main Street waterloo Design Review Board reviewing and approving signs in the area
under its jurisdiction as set for in Section 2-2-3 of the Code of Ordinances. After reviewing
this Section of the Code, it was determine that multiple updates were needed. Significant
changes include:
Throughout Chapter 2 there are references to the area that is covered by these
regulations, referred to as the "central business district", whih is defined as the "SSMID
district". SSMID stands for Self Supported Municipal Improvement District, which was
previously in existence but is not currently in effective. To avoid confusion over what
area Main Street has authority over, including design review authority, the proposed
staff memo 05-18-15 Overview of Multiple Amendments to be reviewed by the Council Ordinance Committee
amendment will remove all reference to SSMID and will add a definition of the central
business district that identically matches the legal description of the previously adopted
SSMID, the boundaries of which are: all properties lying within the area bounded, on the
northeast, by Franklin Street, on the southeast, by the Union Pacific Railroad line
between 6th and 7th Streets, on the southwest, by Washington Street (formerly Bluff
Street), and on the northwest, by 3rd Street and its extension to the Cedar River, except
that the two block area bounded by Washington Street, West 5th Street, Jefferson Street
and West 7th Street is not included in the central business district.
- Section 2-2-2, Composition and Membership: a new paragraph is added to delineate the
difference between the Cedar Skyline Corporation and the commission authorized by
this Chapter.
- Section 2-2-3, Powers and Duties: wording is added to provide a process where by a
request that has been approved by the commission can by request of the Mayor or 3
members of the Council may request that the approval be brought before the Council for
review at its next meeting, and provides that the Council may override the approval of
the commission by a 2/3 vote of all members of the Council. The regulations already
provide for a request that has been denied by the commission to be reviewed by the
Council by similar means. Wording is also added to note that Real estate owned by the
commission shall be held in the name of the commission and not Cedar Skyline
Corporation.
Section 2-2-4, Financing: wording is added under Subsection C, Grants and Donations,
that notes that funds shall be the property of the commission and not Cedar Skyline
Corporation.
Please let Planning staff now if you have any questions or need any additional information
regarding any of the proposed amendments.
