28. Planned Institutional Districts Generalized Approval Process for Rezoning to PID, Planned Institutional District  Roy DeWitt City of Davenport - CPED

29. The process is much like a petition for rezoning. One major difference is that the applicant is required to make a good faith effort to conduct a neighborhood meeting at least 60 days in advance of actually applying for the rezoning.

30. The application essentially consists of a land use plan and narrative explaining the project. A transportation study, stormwater plan and other technical details are also to be included.

31. Once the application is filed, Planning staff will work with the applicant to conduct a public meeting. Instead of sending notice to properties 200 feet from the boundary, for PID the requirement is 500 feet. Planning will also work with the applicant to identify any neighborhood organizations and others of this meeting.

32. A public hearing before the Plan and Zoning Commission is also required. Again, the City will notify property owners within 500 feet of this public hearing. Following the Public Hearing, the Plan and Zoning Commission will make its recommendation to the City Council, taking into account testimony, facts, and staff’s recommendation.

33. As an ordinance, the Council requires three readings in order to pass. At the initial Committee of the whole meeting, there is to be another Public Hearing. Owners within 500 feet will be notified again.

34. Assuming the PID is passed, any changes have to go through an amendment procedure. Minor amendments, generally less than 10% in density, size, reductions of setback, etc can be considered administratively. Major amendments, over 10%, must go through the whole process again.

35. Any development will go through a site plan review process prior to issuing building permits.

36. Pre-Application Timeline Prior to the PID Process • NRC represented neighbor interests • St. Ambrose heard neighbors would like: • Adequate time to review documents • An opportunity to see adjustments as a result of open meetings before formal submission to City • To have opportunities for dialogue • To see proposed changes submitted to the City and the City response to these proposals

37. Pre-Application Process • There will be a 90-day Pre-application Process • Will follow general time guidelines set forth in Main Campus PID for St. Vincent’s Center PID • Guidelines include: • Draft application review prior to City submission • NRC open meetings to review and discuss draft • Consideration and re-consideration of comments • Final review by NRC prior to filing application with the appropriate City office • Process will then follow PID as outlined

38. Ground Rules for Open Dialogue • Openly share your ideas and perspectives. • Listen to others while waiting to be recognized with the floor • Keep comments respectful • Keep comments on topic, avoiding redundancy • Keep an open mind regarding comments • We desire a constructive and productive space for dialogue that affirms dignity and worth.
