Council advances Oakdale Overlook land‑use change to allow 63‑unit apartment building
Summary
Coralville Council introduced Ordinance No. 2026‑1008 to amend the Community Plan and rezone a 3.69‑acre portion of Oakdale Overlook from Corridor Commercial to High‑Density Residential to allow a 63‑unit multi‑family building; Planning & Zoning recommended approval 6–0 and the ordinance was introduced for first consideration with no public opposition.
The Coralville City Council voted to introduce an ordinance changing the land‑use designation for a 3.69‑acre portion of the Oakdale Overlook subdivision from Corridor Commercial to High‑Density Residential to allow a 63‑unit multifamily building.
Community Development Director Dave Johnson told the Council the proposal would create an average density of about 17 dwelling units per acre, meeting the High‑Density standard (16+ units/acre) and remaining compatible with nearby commercial and residential uses. "The request and development concept preserves the commercial presence at the intersection of Oakdale and Jones Boulevards while introducing needed housing in our community," Johnson said. Planning & Zoning voted 6–0 to recommend approval; there were no public or written comments during the hearing. Ordinance No. 2026‑1008 was introduced by Councilperson Mike Knudson and seconded by Councilperson Vogelzang for first consideration and advanced by roll call vote.
The Council's action changes the Coralville Community Plan designation for the specified portion of Outlot A, Coral Crossing – Third Addition, and preserves design and density standards consistent with the West Land Use Area Master Plan. The matter will return for further consideration as the ordinance progresses through subsequent readings.
