Council adopts rezoning for 611 Greenwood Drive to enable medium-density multifamily development
Summary
The council approved an expedited ordinance to rezone roughly 9.9 acres at 611 Greenwood Drive from neighborhood public to medium-density multifamily residential with a planned development overlay; action passed 7-0 after the applicant requested expedited consideration.
The Iowa City Council unanimously approved a conditional rezoning of approximately 9.9 acres at 611 Greenwood Drive to medium-density multifamily residential with a planned development overlay, following the applicant’s request for expedited action.
Council suspended the normal second-consideration rule and voted to consider final passage at the same meeting. The suspension motion and final-passage vote each passed 7-0. Council accepted correspondence on the item prior to final adoption; no public opposition was recorded during the council discussion or public comment on the item.
Staff noted the rezoning carries a planned-development overlay and will be subject to the standard site-plan and planned-development approval processes. The council’s vote authorizes the change in zoning classification; any specific development plans must be reviewed under the city’s development review procedures.
Next steps: planning staff will process required planned-development documentation and bring any required site-plan approvals back to the council or the planning and zoning bodies as called for by municipal code.
