Coralville commission recommends amendment to Iowa River Landing Parkview site plan

The Coralville Planning & Zoning Commission on July 1 recommended approval of an amendment to the PUD-A master development site plan and the preliminary plat for the Iowa River Landing Parkview Subdivision, voting 5-0 to forward both recommendations.

James Kincaid, a civil engineer with Axiom Consultants, said he helped prepare the amended PUD-A site plan “to assist the developer in moving forward with the development of Lot 4” and that the amendment more accurately shows parking already installed, planned parking and public improvements on the south side and Outlot B in preparation for future Lots 5 and 6. Community Development Director Dave Johnson told commissioners the plan allows for 1½ parking stalls per unit, a balance intended to match parking supply with the number of units added in Buildings 2 and 3.

Commissioner Holderness raised questions about parking capacity and whether there remained interest in the senior and assisted-living uses included in earlier plans; Johnson confirmed there is continued interest in developing Lots 5 and 6 for that purpose. The motion to recommend approval of the amended master plan was moved by Holderness, seconded by Moniza and passed unanimously. A separate motion to recommend approval of the preliminary plat was moved by Wenman, seconded by Dokun and also passed 5-0.

The recommended approvals clear procedural steps for the developer to proceed with Lot 4 and help establish expectations for parking and public improvements as later lots are developed. The record does not show a final zoning change for Lots 5 and 6; the transcript only records staff confirmation of developer interest in senior/assisted-living for those lots.
