It is difficult to know what the future may bring for Riverdale, or for any community. As residents and businesses come and go and economic trends rise and fall, changes will occur. The purpose of this plan I is to establish a shared vision for the future of the City that will guide future actions and decisions. This guidance provides predictability and consistency over time, which encourages investment. We plan so that we can act and react in a changing world with a confident understanding of our common values and Igoals. I 1 1 .2 Planning Process In the spring of 2011, the City of Riverdale engaged MSA Professional Services, Inc. to assist in completion of a Comprehensive Plan complying with the Iowa Smart Growth Planning Legislation in 0 I order to lead the revitalization of the community and its residents. The City of Riverdale developed guidelines for involving the public as part of the public participation II element of the Iowa Smart Planning Law (Iowa Code Chapter 18B). The goal of these guidelines, outlined in the City of Riverdale Comprehensive Plan Public Participation Plan, is to foster public participation, including open discussion, communication programs, information services, and public meetings for which advance notice has been provided, in every stage of the preparation of a comprehensive plan. Key components of the planning process included: ➢ Three public meetings to solicit ideas about the future of the City and reactions to the draft plan document. Notice of public meetings was published and posted in accordance with City procedures and State law. ➢ Five Plan Committee working sessions to review project material and make policy 4 ! recommendations. All Plan Committee working sessions were open to public attendance and comment. 2012-2032 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 1-1 CHAPTER 1 Introduction I di Figure 1.1:Planning Area Map 1 .3 Planning Area & f ; . - Regional Context ,.? y1__ 1 , ' .�)) NM The study area for this Plan includes all lands in which �..i'� the City has both a short and long term interest in P, \ 'i planning and development activity.

Building development may be severely limited in areas designated as wetlands,floodplains,or steep slopes. 2012-2032 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2-17 CHAPTER 2 Goals, Objectives & Policies 4. Single-Family Residential- The City encourages well-designed neighborhoods that reflect aspects of traditional neighborhood design principles. The City encourages features that maintain the"small town" character and increase the sense of community among the residents of Riverdale 5. Multi-Family Residential — When there is demand for multi-family residential development, the City encourages high-quality multi-family housing that is designed to blend in with traditional IMO neighborhoods. The general guidelines listed below will provide assistance in guiding future multi- family development: r Parking and Buffering: Fit the parking below the building or place surface parking behind the building. Provide landscaping of sufficient size to screen parking areas from the street and neighboring properties. Use landscape islands to limit the aesthetic and ecological impacts of large parking areas. r Service Areas: Trash containers, recycling containers, street-level mechanical, and rooftop mechanical should be located or screened so that they are not visible from a public street. -• Screening should be compatible with building architecture and other site features. r Common Open Space: Provide gardens, grass areas, and play areas to serve the needs of the _. residents. The use of contiguous back yards to create a larger network of open space is encouraged. 6. Commercial and Industrial Development - Commercial and industrial uses provide the City with economic stability and provide goods, services, and jobs for its residents. To ensure high-quality and long-lasting projects the following guidelines and illustrations (Figures 2.5-2.6) will provide assistance in guiding future business development: r Relationship to the Street: Design the building such that the primary building facade is orientated towards the street.

The Future Land Use Categories (Section 3.2) correspond to the City of Riverdale Future Land Use Map(see Section 3.4),which depicts the desired pattern of land use in the City of Riverdale. �r. .rr S 2012-2032 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 3-1 IMP row CHAPTER 3 Future Land Use 3.1 Goals, Objectives & Policies igat Citizen Concerns Shared at the ++ ; ar Beginning of the Planning Process • Would like a balance of housing types • Limited developable land 4 ( i i Ensure that a desirable balance and distribution of land uses is Q achieved which enhances the City's unique community character and 0 sense of place, while balancing community interests with individual ..r property rights. Objectives: 1. Utilize this plan, including the Future Land Use map,when making decisions about land use. 2. Maintain policies for considering amendments to the Future Land Use Map if and when requested by eligible petitioners. 3. Provide flexibility in development options/tools to create win-win outcomes between landowner desires and community interests. Policies: 1. Amending the Future Land Use Map 1-A property owner may petition for a change to the Future Land Use Map(refer to Section 3.7). S 1 Petitions to change future land use classifications may only be submitted by landowners(or their agents)within the Planning Area,by City Off�or by officials from adjacent municipalities. CITY OF RIVERDALE, IOWA L Future Land Use CHAPTER 3 3.2 Future Land Use The future land use categories identify areas of similar character, use and density. These land use areas are not zoning districts, as they do not legally set performance criteria for land uses (i.e. setbacks, height restrictions, etc.). The City of Riverdale Zoning Ordinance determines how land may be used, including performance criteria and dimensional standards. This future land use plan indicates the City's preferred land use for purposes of evaluating landowner requests to change their zoning. In other words, the zoning ordinance is the "law of the land" and is the only document that matters to landowners, except when a landowner seeks a change to that law. Amendments to the City of Riverdale Zoning ordinance should be consistent with this plan. P — Parks and Recreation (green) This land use category includes property where active recreation is the primary activity and where there is typically no commercial or residential use. The City, County, or State usually owns these properties. Some stormwater management or other utility/institutional uses (e.g., water towers) may be located within these areas. Appropriate Zoning Districts The City's Single Family Residential (R-1) is the most appropriate zoning district for this future land use category; however, Park and Recreation is permitted in all of the City's residential and commercial zoning districts(R-1, R-2, C). Policies 1. The City intends to provide sufficient parkland and recreation facilities to meet the recreation demand of City of Riverdale residents. 2. The City does not intend to require an amendment to the Future Land Use Map prior to the approval of a publicly owned park or recreational use in an area that is currently mapped as another future land use, provided such use is listed as a permitted or conditional use in one of the appropriate zoning districts for this classification. R - Residential (yellow) This land use category is intended for existing and planned neighborhoods that feature a mix of housing types with the majority of homes consisting of single-family units. These neighborhoods will be served by municipal sanitary sewer and water systems. Municipal and institutional land uses (parks, schools, churches, and stormwater facilities) may be built within this district area. The preferred average density range is 2-8 units per acre, however, higher densities may be considered for individual projects on a case by case basis. Appropriate Zoning Districts The most appropriate zoning for this use are the City's Single Family Residential(R-1) district and Multi- ; Family Residential(R-2) district. 2012-2032 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 3-3 j CHAPTER 3 Future Land Use Policies 1. Natural areas, including wetlands, wildlife habitats,and woodland,will be protected to the greatest extent possible. 2. The City encourages park and open space areas within the neighborhood that are sized and located to provide convenient access for all neighborhood residents. 3. The City supports small-to medium-sized senior housing developments and small multi-family buildings (up to four units). As a general rule, multi-family developments are most appropriate adjacent to more intensive uses. 4. Community Character(Section 2.7)will be considered when new development is proposed. MU - Mixed Use (pink) This land use category is intended for pedestrian-oriented commercial, office, entertainment, civic/institutional, and residential uses with on-street parking and minimal building setbacks. Businesses that are preferred for this area include restaurants, small grocery or specialty food shops, hairdressers/barbers,and small professional/business offices uses. Appropriate Zoning District The City will adopt an updated zoning ordinance and map utilizing the guidance in this plan and will consider the described land use categories when assigning zones. Policies 1. In order to maintain the City's character and to promote a walkable commercial area, the City will promote site design featuring minimal setbacks, quality facades and limited off-street parking areas. 2. The City strongly encourages the concentration of new development placing emphasis on creating an integrated street atmosphere, rather than several separated individual business sites. r C - Commercial (red) j This land use category accommodates retail,service, and office uses. Appropriate Zoning Districts The City's commercial (C) zoning district is most appropriate for areas within this future land use category. The City encourages a diverse mix of businesses in the current zone and any future commercial zones. Development may have additional restrictions if a Highway Corridor Overlay Zone is adopted. Policies 1. The City encourages commercial uses that create a physically attractive pattern of development, especially along State Street. Community Character(Section 2.7)will be considered when new development is proposed. 2. Commercial uses should be situated and designed so as not to create excessive noise,traffic,or light pollution that may be incompatible with residential uses and community facilities. j 3-4 CITY OF RIVERDALE, IOWA ar. Future Land Use CHAPTER 3 Nap I — Industrial (light purple) This land use category is appropriate for indoor manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, office and outdoor storage usage. The intensity of office and industrial development is regulated by the City's zoning ordinance. Appropriate Zoning Districts The City's Light Industrial (M-1) and Heavy Industrial (M-2) zoning districts are most appropriate for this future land use category. Policies 1. The City discourages commercial development in the areas planned for"Industrial", unless it is a support service to the industrial properties. 2. Community Character(Section 2.7)will be considered when new development is proposed. P - Public/Institutional (dark blue) This land use category includes properties owned by the City, the school district and Scott Community College. Appropriate Zoning Districts Institutional buildings are allowed in the City's residential and commercial zoning districts (R-1, R-2, C). Policies 1. The City will work with institutions and the surrounding neighborhood when discussing potential expansions or new facilities and how these plans would impact the area. 2. The City does not intend to require an amendment to the Future Land Use Map prior to the approval of a proposed public or institutional use in an area that is currently mapped as another future land use, provided such use is either listed as a permitted or special use in one of the appropriate zoning districts for this classification. L L 2012-2032 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 3-5 eii CHAPTER 3 Future Land Use 3.3 Overlays In addition to future land use categories, overlays identify unique characteristics of land, structures, or districts that the City wishes to consider or protect during development (e.g. historic homes, wetlands, steep slopes, proximity to regional corridor, existing cultural amenities,etc.). NRP - Natural Resource Protection (green cross-hatch) The NRP overlay classification identifies sensitive lands that may be subject to development restrictions enforced by County, State, or Federal agencies. Mapped NRP areas include all land that meets one or more of the following conditions: ➢ Water bodies and wetlands, or ➢ 100-Year Floodplains based on FEMA maps,or ➢ Areas with steep slopes greater than 20% The primary intent of these areas is to retain sensitive natural areas in either public or private ownership for the benefit of maintaining fish and wildlife habitat; to prevent and control water pollution; to prevent erosion and sedimentation; to prevent property damage caused by flooding; to preserve areas of natural beauty; and to provide areas for outdoor recreation. Development in areas designated NRP shall be limited. Appropriate Zoning District NRP lands may be zoned as described by the underlying land use classification, but are subject to development restrictions defined by floodplain, erosion and sediment management, and endangered and threatened species laws and regulations. Policies 1. This classification is intended to function as an overlay district, such that the underlying future land use classification (e.g.Single Family Residential) remains in place, but the overlay classification indicates the possibility of additional restrictions on development. 2. Landowners are advised that land within NRP areas may be restricted from building development, site grading,or vegetation. The City maintains that some sites that have steep slopes may be suitable for development with proper site planning. 3.4 Future Land Use Map The Future Land Use Plan, in conjunction with the other chapters of this plan (in particular Chapter 2), should be used by City staff and officials to guide recommendations and decisions on rezoning and other development requests. The Future Land Use Map depicts those areas that are the most logical development areas based on the goals and policies of this plan, overall development trends, environmental constraints, proximity to existing development, and the ability to provide services. Adoption of this plan will not trigger an automatic rezoning or guarantee approval if and when a rezoning is requested by the landowner. Other factors will be considered, such as the quality of the proposed development and the ability to provide services to the site. 3-6 CITY OF RIVERDALE, IOWA L Future Land Use CHAPTER 3 LFigure 3.1:Future Land Use Map r NW 9. ofMIN 3 WiIOW IIIIIi"T I gli!I I d.1 7:34, ..........,.. ,...•,- , or r° d 11�t 1 � <E wr ♦ OE�R TREELINE On ♦♦ *. ::::: ♦ 4 WOOOVIEWM ♦♦J1•♦�♦ anooxwooD Lx 4♦♦♦ ���•'♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦. ♦. :.:\ '1'i 1'•'•f4'♦♦♦♦♦♦♦•♦♦♦♦■ sx♦♦♦� .444 x•41•'4'♦'♦'♦♦♦♦♦'• i♦4� .•44.4•.♦♦♦, ♦•f •♦41♦♦4.4.4♦• ♦J.^ �•.4ai♦♦,J♦♦44.4♦ 9�' _.:M.4•„•4•••4♦. ♦ 4.4•�1�`.♦♦4.44.4. ♦1w♦♦♦44i �•'♦'4!;,i,•,♦'••♦•.'.'♦'♦'.'1• 96 i J.4.4.♦ •�•f��JiJ11�-�.14'4'••f•♦•4'•' 444 •♦4:'••♦�♦♦♦•♦'♦•.4♦4♦4♦'♦' .t , 1�i.cy�. 444♦ .♦4.••♦.

CHAPTER 3 Future Land Use 3.5 Future Land Use Map - Interpreting Boundaries Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts shown on the Future Land Use Map, the following rules will apply: 1. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, highways, or alleys will be construed to follow such centerlines. 2. Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines or U.S. Public Land Survey lines will be construed as following such lot lines. 3. Boundaries indicated as approximately following municipal boundaries will be construed as following such boundaries. 4. Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines will be construed to be midway between the main tracks. 5. Boundaries indicated as following shorelines and floodplains, will be construed to follow such shorelines and floodplains, and in the event of change in the shorelines and floodplains, it will be construed as moving the mapped boundary. 6. Boundaries indicated as following the centerlines of streams, rivers, canals, or other bodies of water will be construed to follow such centerlines. 7. Boundaries indicated as parallel to extension of features indicated in the preceding above will be so construed. The scale of the map will determine distances not specifically indicated on the map 3.6 Future Land Use Map - Amendments The City of Riverdale recognizes that from time to time it may be necessary to amend the future land use map to account for changes in the current planning environment that were not anticipated. A property owner may petition2 for a change to the Future Land Use Map3. The City will consider petitions based on the following criteria: Compatibility The proposed development will not have a substantial adverse effect upon adjacent property or the character of the area, with a particular emphasis on existing agricultural operations and residential neighborhoods. A petitioner may indicate approaches that will minimize incompatibilities between uses. 3 2 Petitions to change future land use classifications may only be submitted by landowners(or their agents)within the City,by City Officials,or by officials from adjacent municipalities. 3 Changes in the Future Land Use Map,and associated policies,shall require a public hearing,a recommendation by the City's Planning and 'O' Zonin Commission and City Council approval. CITY OF RIVERDALE, IOWA Y�r Future Land Use CHAPTER 3 rip Natural Resources The land does not include important natural features such as wetlands, floodplains, steep slopes, scenic vistas or significant woodlands, which will be adversely affected by the proposed development. The proposed development will not result in undue water, air, light, or noise pollution. Petitioner may indicate approaches that will preserve or enhance the most important and sensitive natural features of the proposed site. Emergency Vehicle Access The lay of the land will allow for construction of appropriate roads and/or driveways that are suitable for travel or access by emergency vehicles. Ability to Provide Services Provision of public facilities and services will not place an unreasonable burden on the ability of the City to provide and fund those facilities and services. Petitioners may demonstrate to the City that the current level of services in the City, including but not limited to school capacity, transportation system capacity, emergency services capacity (police, fire, EMS), parks and recreation, library services, and potentially water and/or sewer services, are adequate to serve the proposed use. Petitioners may also demonstrate how they will assist the City with any shortcomings in public services or facilities. Public Need There is a clear public need for the proposed change or unanticipated circumstances have resulted in a need for the change. The proposed development is likely to have a positive fiscal impact on the City. The City may require that the property owner, or their agent, fund the preparation of a fiscal impact analysis by an independent professional. r• Adherence to Other Portions of this Plan The proposed development is consistent with the general vision for the City, and the other goals, objectives, and policies of this Plan.

This chapter addresses the issue of consistency, including how this plan is consistent with existing policies that affect the City and how local decisions must be consistent with this plan. Finally, this chapter describes the process for reviewing implementation progress and amending the plan in future years. 4.1 Implementation Tools Local codes and ordinances are an important means of implementing the policies of a comprehensive plan. The zoning ordinance and subdivision regulations comprise the principal regulatory devices used to protect existing development and guide future growth as prescribed by the comprehensive plan. The City Council is responsible for amending and adopting these local ordinances. Zoning Ordinance trir Zoning is used to regulate the use of land and the design and placement of structures. A zoning ordinance establishes how lots may be developed, including setbacks and separation for structures, the height and bulk of those structures, and density. The general purpose for zoning is to avoid undesirable side effects of development by segregating incompatible uses and by setting standards for individual uses. It is also one of the important legal tools that a community can use to control development and growth. ➢ Zoning is controlled through the City of Riverdale Zoning Ordinance. The City intends to use this plan along with the City's Zoning Ordinance to guide future development. The City will consider updates to this ordinance as recommended in this plan. 2012-2032 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 4-1 IMP New .r CHAPTER 4 Implementation Sign Regulations Local governments may adopt regulations, such as sign ordinances, to limit the height and other dimensional characteristics of advertising and identification signs. The purpose of these regulations is to promote the well-being of the community by ensuring that signs do not compromise the rights of City residents to a safe, healthful and attractive environment. ➢ Sign requirements are regulated under the City's Zoning Ordinance. This Plan includes several policies relating to sign development and the City of Riverdale should work to make sure they are addressed during development review. Erosion/Stormwater Control Ordinances The purpose of stormwater or erosion control ordinances is to establish rules that will prevent or reduce water pollution caused by the development or redevelopment of land. Local stormwater ordinances may be adopted to supplement existing Scott County and Iowa Department of Natural Resources permit requirements. ➢ Erosion and Sediment Control is addressed in the City's Code of Ordinances. j Historic Preservation Ordinances An historic preservation ordinance is established to protect, enhance, and perpetuate buildings of special character or the special historic or aesthetic interest of districts that represent a community's cultural, social, economic, political, and architectural history. The jurisdiction's governing body may create an historic preservation commission to designate historic landmarks and establish historic districts. In accordance with Iowa Administrative Code Section 223.36, a municipality (city, town or county) may submit a request to the State Historical Society of Iowa for designation as a Certified Local Government in "The Certified Local Government Historic Preservation Program in Iowa". Certified Local Governments are expected to develop ordinances that adhere to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Archaeological and Historic Preservation. ➢ The City does not have an historic preservation ordinance at this time. Site Plan Regulations A site plan is a detailed plan of a lot indicating all proposed improvements. Some communities have regulations requiring site plans prepared by an engineer, surveyor, or architect. Site plan regulations may require specific inclusions like: General Layout, Drainage and Grading, Utilities, Erosion Control, Landscaping and Lighting,and Building Elevations. ➢ The City requires"Sketch Plans"for all minor and major subdivisions as laid out in the City of Riverdale's Subdivision Ordinance. Design Review Ordinances Design Review Ordinances are used to protect the character of a community by regulating aesthetic design issues. They include guidelines that can address a wide range of building and site design criteria, 4-2 CITY OF RIVERDALE, IOWA a L Implementation CHAPTER 4 and they are typically implemented by a design review committee that reviews all proposed development within a designated area for consistency with the guidelines. Areas designated for application of a design review ordinance are called overlay districts, and they do not change the underlying zoning regulations. ➢ The City addresses standard design requirements during plat review. The City has also established specific site and design principals in Section 2.7 of this plan. Building Codes The Iowa State Building Code (SBC) is the statewide building code covering handicap accessibility,energy conservation, plumbing, factory built structures, life cycle costs and construction quality. Municipal or county building inspectors who must be state-certified enforce the SBC. Permit requirements for alterations and additions will vary by municipality. ➢ The City requires adherence to the Uniform Building Code and the Iowa State Building Code. it Renewable Energy Ordinances Renewable energy ordinances can be established to oversee the permitting of renewable energy systems (wind, solar, bio-fuels) to preserve and protect public health and safety without significantly increasing the cost or decreasing the efficiency of a renewable energy system. ➢ At this time, the City does not have an ordinance that covers all renewable energy systems. However,the City does address renewable energy in Chapter 2 of this plan and ier will consider revisions to the zoning ordinance consistent with policies in Chapter 2. Land Division and Subdivision Ordinance Land division regulations serve an important function by ensuring the orderly growth and development of unplatted and undeveloped land. These regulations are intended to protect the community and occupants of the proposed subdivision by setting forth reasonable regulations for public utilities, storm water drainage, lot sizes, street design open space, other improvements necessary to ensure that new development will be an asset to the City. The City Council makes the final decisions on the content of the land division ordinance. These decisions are preceded by public hearings and recommendations of the plan commission. imp ➢ The division of land in the City is governed by the Iowa Statutes and the City's Subdivision Ordinance. 2012-2032 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 4-3 CHAPTER 4 Implementation 4.2 Plan Adoption and Amendment This comprehensive plan and any future amendments must be adopted by the City Council in the form of an adoption ordinance approved by a majority vote. Two important steps must occur before the City Council may adopt or amend the plan: the Planning and Zoning Commission must recommend adoption and the City must hold an official public hearing. Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends adoption or amendment by passing a resolution that — very briefly summarizes the plan and its various components. The resolution should also reference the reasons for creating plan and the public involvement process used during the planning process. The resolution must pass by a majority vote of the Commission, and the approved resolution should be — included in the adopted plan document Public Hearing Prior to adopting the Plan,the City should hold at least one public hearing to discuss the proposed plan, no earlier than the next regularly scheduled council meeting. A notice must be published in the local newspaper at least seven days prior to the hearing and should contain the following: — ➢ The date,time and location of the hearing, ➢ A summary of the proposed plan or plan amendment, — 'y The local government staff who may be contacted for additional information, Where to inspect and how to obtain a copy of the proposed plan or amendment before the hearing. The notice should also provide a method for submitting written comments, and those comments should be read or summarized at the public hearing. Draft Distribution To ensure compatible and fair planning and development, and to further intergovernmental collaboration, an electronic copy of the Draft Plan will be disseminated to neighboring jurisdictions and appropriate governments, providing 30 days for written comments. In addition, a copy of the Draft Plan will be accessible at the local public library. 1. Scott County 2. City of Bettendorf 3. Administrator for the Pleasant Valley School District 4.

Alcoa 4-4 CITY OF RIVERDALE, IOWA Implementation CHAPTER 4 Plan Adoption/Amendment This plan and any future amendments become official City policy when the City Council passes, by a majority vote of all elected members,an adoption ordinance. Adopted Plan Distribution +rr• Following final adoption of this plan, and again following any amendments to the plan, a copy of the plan or amendment should be sent to each of the following: 1. Scott County 2. City of Bettendorf 3. Administrator for the Pleasant Valley School District jr 4. Bi-State Regional Commission 5. Scott County Community College 6. Bettendorf Public Library 7. Alcoa 4.3 Consistency Among Plan Elements Once formally adopted, the Plan becomes a tool for communicating the community's land use policy to and for coordinating decisions. Actions taken by the City should be consistent with the Plan, especially those regarding land use. Relevant actions include: ➢ Amendments or revisions to zoning and subdivision ordinances; ➢ Establishment of new ordinances or regulations including, but not limited to, historic preservation; ➢ Approvals of development;and ➢ Creation of topic-specific plans including economic development strategies, commercial district planning, and historic preservation plans. An action will be deemed consistent if: 1. It furthers,or at least does not interfere with,the goals, objectives, and policies of this plan, 2. It is compatible with the proposed future land uses and densities/intensities contained in this plan. 3. It carries out, as applicable, any specific proposals for community facilities, including transportation facilities or other specific public actions that are contained in the plan. Throughout the planning process, and prior to adoption of the plan, the City of Riverdale reviewed, updated, and completed all elements of this plan together, and minimized any inconsistencies to the best of their ability. it 2012-2032 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 4-5 CHAPTER 4 Implementation 4.4 Plan Monitoring, Amending, & Updating Although this Plan is intended to guide decisions and action by the City over a 20-year period, it is impossible to predict future conditions in the City. Amendments may be appropriate following original adoption, particularly if emerging issues or trends render aspects of the plan irrelevant or inappropriate. To monitor consistency with the Comprehensive Plan the City will review its content prior to any important decisions, especially those that will affect land use. From time to time the City may be faced with an opportunity, such as a development proposal, that does not fit the plan but is widely viewed to be appropriate for the City. Should the City wish to approve such an opportunity, it should first amend the plan so that the decision is consistent with the plan. Such amendments should be carefully considered and should not become the standard response to proposals that do not fit the plan. Frequent amendments to meet individual development proposals threaten the integrity of the plan and the planning process and should be avoided. + Any change to the plan text or maps constitutes an amendment to the plan and should follow the adoption/amendment process described in Section 4.2. Amendments may be proposed by either the City Council or the Planning and Zoning Commission, and each will need to approve the change. As indicated in Section 4.2, some of the aspects of this plan require proactive action by the City. A working action plan should be maintained on an annual or biannual basis, starting with the actions in Section 4.2 and evolving over time. Completed actions should be celebrated and removed, while those actions not yet carried out should be given new deadlines (if appropriate) and assigned to specific individuals, boards or committees for completion per the new schedule. If the updated action plan is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the comprehensive plan, updating the action plan should not require an amendment to the plan and can be approved simply by City Council resolution. It is recommended that comprehensive plans be updated every 10 years. Unlike an amendment, the plan update is a major re-write of the plan document and supporting maps. The purpose of the update is to incorporate new data and ensure that the plan remains relevant to current conditions and decisions. Frequency of plan updates for the City of Riverdale depends on intensity of development activity and the eventual build out of available land. r1 4.5 Severability If any provision of this Comprehensive Plan should be found to be invalid or unconstitutional, or if the application of this Comprehensive Plan to any person or circumstances is found to be invalid or unconstitutional, such invalidity or unconstitutionality will not affect the other provisions or applications of this Comprehensive Plan, which can be given effect without the invalid or unconstitutional provision or application. 9 4-6 CITY OF RIVERDALE, IOWA - 3 to z Appendix A-Community Indicators Report x o D � n 70 o m 3 o 3 c z 1 � � R Community Indicators Demographics A-2 Created On: Housing A-3 02/14/2012 Energy, Utilities&Services A-6 Mobility&Transportation A-8 Updated On: Economic Prosperity A-12 Agriculture&Natural Resources A-15 Community Facilities A-18 Community Character A-21 km Hazards A-22 Collaboration A-24 This report is a summary of current conditions and recent trends in Riverdale, based on the best available data. The purpose of these indicators is to enable informed choices about the future of the City. The report is included as an appendix to the comprehensive plan so that it can be easily updated from time to time as new data becomes available. About the data These indicators utilize a mixture of local,county,state, and federal data sources. The U.S. Census has historically been a key source of data for many community indicators. Much of the information previously collected by the decennial U.S. Census is now collected only by the American Community Survey (ACS). The ACS is an ongoing survey that collects sample data every year and reports estimates of population and housing characteristics. For communities smaller than 20,000, estimates are reported as rolling averages over 5-year periods —they indicate average conditions over the reporting period rather than a snapshot of a single point of time. Because the ACS estimates are based on a sample of the population, they include some error. The margin of error is reported for each estimate, and is an indication of how reliable the estimate is. As a general rule,the ACS data is quite reliable at the State level, generally reliable at the County level, and less reliable at the municipal level. The margin of error data makes the data much more difficult to interpret. To simplify tables in this plan,the reliability of each value is indicated simply by the formatting of the text. For each ACS estimate,the margin of error is divided by the estimate. If the error is 10% or less than the estimate, the value in the table is bolded and underlined. If the reported error is more than 10% of the estimate, the value is italicized in the table. In graphs, the ACS data exceeding this 10% error threshold will be denoted at the bottom of the graph. SAMPLE TABLE NOTE: Some US Census data are estimates, and Village of Chevrolet these estimates are no more reliable than ACS M alibu County estimates in small communities, but the Census does not report margins of error.

L • The majority of the City residents (77.4%) live in owner occupied housing. It is important for any City to have a mixture of owner-occupied and renter occupied housing. This data demonstrates that the optimal mixture for the City of Riverdale of owner-occupied housing to rental housing is probably higher than the traditional 3:2 ratio that is optimal in most places. Renter occupied is expected to increase with build-out, although the ratio is not expected to change. About the Data: II o While household size is generally decreasing,an assumption was made that with build out, more families would move into Riverdale,and therefore household size was held constant to 2010 levels for projection purposes.
