project:
The project is located on a parcel of land owned by Morningside University in the northwest
quadrant of Section 6 North, Township 88, Range 47 West. The site is in the upstream
reaches of a sub-watershed draining to Pulaski Park, part of the Bacon Creek-Missouri River
watershed (102300010305). After draining to Pulaski Park through overland flow and the
City’s stormwater sewer system, water flows through a culvert under Lewis Blvd, into a
concrete channel portion of Bacon Creek, then into the Missouri River. Protecting the
Missouri River from stormwater pollution is essential to preserving water quality, protecting
aquatic habitats, and maintaining the health of the region's natural resources. Because the
Missouri River is a vital regional water resource, reducing pollutant loads before they enter
the river is an important step toward protecting its ecological health and long-term water
quality.

Executive Summary: The City of Sioux City seeks funding through the Iowa Department of
Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s Water Quality Initiative Grant to support Practice 1 of
the Pulaski Park Drainage Improvement Project at Morningside University. The project
includes a bioretention cell, rain garden, and interpretive signage designed to capture,
retain, and treat stormwater runoff before it enters the City’s stormwater infrastructure.
These practices will promote infiltration, reduce sediment and pollutant transport, and
improve downstream water quality. By preventing pollutants from reaching Bacon Creek
and the Missouri River, the project will help protect aquatic habitats and regional water
resources. The initiative demonstrates a collaborative commitment to sustainable
stormwater management, environmental stewardship, and community education through
partnerships among the City, Morningside University, and Iowa Department of Natural
Resources.

Pre-Proposal Narrative:
Practice 1A will consist of a bioretention cell designed to capture, retain, and treat
stormwater runoff before it enters the City’s stormwater infrastructure. The increased cell
size provides additional capacity to accommodate potential overflow from the upstream rain
garden and may also allow the cell to manage runoff from the greenhouse roof, depending
on final drainage routing and design capacity. The design also incorporates an upstream
extension of perforated pipe that functions similarly to a French drain. This feature expands
the contributing drainage area by intercepting runoff from the upstream grassy hillside and
portions of the surrounding residential area, capturing additional flow that would otherwise
bypass the treatment system.
The bioretention cell will be surrounded by a grassed surface that will function as a filter
strip along the receiving edge, helping slow runoff and filter sediment and other pollutants.
The cell will incorporate 450 native plant plugs to support stormwater treatment, promote
infiltration, and enhance the ecological value of the site. Erosion-control stone will be
installed at the outlet of the daylighting pipe to dissipate flow energy and reduce the
potential for downstream erosion. The bioretention cell’s engineered soil media will consist
of the following mixture:
Sand
75%
Topsoil
15%
Compost
10%
Total
100%
The rain garden is designed to collect and treat stormwater runoff from the parking lot
located at the top of the hill. Under existing conditions, runoff from this parking lot is
directed toward the street and ultimately enters the storm sewer system through a street
intake. The proposed design will intercept this runoff using a trench drain installed along the
downstream edge of the parking lot and redirect it into the rain garden, where it can be
temporarily stored and infiltrate into the underlying soil. When rainfall exceeds the rain
garden’s storage and infiltration capacity, excess runoff will be conveyed to the downstream
bioretention cell (Practice 1A). The bioretention cell has been upsized to provide additional
capacity for this overflow, subject to the final hydraulic design and available treatment
capacity.
Project Funding, Maintenance, and Partnerships
Iowa DNR is providing the matching contribution through State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan
funding. Morningside University is contributing the land for the project and will be
responsible for ongoing maintenance of the stormwater practices per a formal maintenance
agreement/Memorandum of Understanding. Maintenance activities will include watering,
weeding, mowing, and litter collection to help ensure the long-term functionality and
effectiveness of the installed practices.

Overall Project Impact
Practice 1 is part of a larger campus-wide stormwater quality improvement project involving four
(4) locations on the Morningside University campus. In addition to Practice 1, three (3)
additional locations will include eleven (11) bioretention cells, bringing the project total to
twelve (12) bioretention cells and one (1) rain garden across the campus. Installation of the
additional practices has begun and is expected to be completed by November 2026.
Collectively, these stormwater management practices are designed to capture, retain, and
treat stormwater runoff before it enters the City’s stormwater infrastructure. By promoting
infiltration and reducing the transport of sediment and other pollutants, the practices will
improve stormwater quality and help protect downstream waterways, including the
Missouri River. The project demonstrates a collaborative commitment among the Iowa
DNR, Morningside University, and the City of Sioux City to implement sustainable
stormwater management practices that provide lasting water quality benefits.
Evaluation
The bioretention cell and rain garden designs follow Iowa Storm Water Management
Manual (ISWMM) guidelines. Technical and multidisciplinary reviews were conducted at
key project milestones to evaluate the designs and support the development of functional,
comprehensive stormwater management practices. During construction, the design
engineer and representatives from the IDALS will participate in construction observations
to verify that the practices are installed in accordance with the approved designs and
project specifications. Upon final completion, a short-term warranty will take effect to
address construction deficiencies and support successful vegetation establishment. Any
issues identified during the warranty period will be addressed by the contractor in
accordance with the project requirements. To support the long-term performance of the
practices beyond the warranty period, a 10-year maintenance plan was developed during
the design phase and incorporated into the contract documents. The plan establishes
routine inspection and maintenance requirements and assigns responsibilities to help
preserve the functionality and effectiveness of the stormwater management practices
throughout their intended service life.
Education
Morningside University will use the rain garden and bioretention cell as educational
resources to demonstrate the role of green infrastructure in stormwater management.
Interpretive signage will be installed at the site to explain how these practices capture and
treat runoff, promote infiltration, and help reduce the transport of pollutants into the
storm sewer system and downstream waterways. By incorporating educational signage into
the project, Morningside University will provide students, campus visitors, and the broader
community with an opportunity to learn about sustainable stormwater management and
the importance of protecting local water resources, including the Missouri River.

Provide a Description of each practice:
Practice 1A: Bioretention Cell

IDALS: $28,000

TOTAL: $56,000 (includes construction
capital cost ONLY, not design or engineering
services during construction)
Practice Details: The project is located at 1800 Sioux Trail on a parcel of land owned by
Morningside University in the northeast section. The bioretention cell is a landscaped
depression used to slow and treat on-site stormwater runoff through several filter layers in
the cell. The stormwater is then allowed to infiltrate native soil with excess being directed to a
subdrain to discharge to city infrastructure. Based on design calculations guided by the Storm
Water Management Manual (SWMM), the minimum allowable surface area for the
bioretention cell is 801 square feet. The proposed cell has been upsized to provide a surface
area of 1,010 square feet and will treat a total water quality volume (WQv) of 1,705 cubic
feet. The contributing drainage area has an imperviousness of 20.37%. The increased cell size
provides additional capacity to accommodate potential overflow from the upstream rain
garden and may also allow the cell to manage runoff from the greenhouse roof, depending
on final drainage routing and design capacity. Without this perforated pipe extension, runoff
from the area immediately south of the parking lot would continue to flow toward an existing
storm sewer intake located within the greenhouse parking lot. By intercepting this runoff, the
design increases the amount of stormwater that can be directed into the treatment system,
reducing direct discharge to the storm sewer and improving opportunities for infiltration and
pollutant removal. The cell will incorporate 450 native plant plugs to support stormwater
treatment, promote infiltration, and enhance the ecological value of the site. Erosion-control
stone will be installed at the outlet of the daylighting pipe to dissipate flow energy and
reduce the potential for downstream erosion.
Final design plans are completed. No municipal permits are required and IDNR GP#2 4741946996 has been issued.
Practice 1B: Rain Garden
IDALS: $19,500
TOTAL: $39,000
Practice Details: The project is located at 1800 Sioux Trail on a parcel of land owned by
Morningside University in the northwest section. The rain garden will be a shallow depression
designed to temporarily hold the stormwater and allow it to soak into the ground while
filtering out pollutants. The rain garden will serve a drainage area of 13,606 square feet,
consisting of 10,078 square feet of impervious surface and 3,528 square feet of pervious
surface. It is designed to impound approximately 10,596 gallons of stormwater during a 1.25inch rainfall event. A total of 253 native plant plugs will be installed in offset rows to establish
vegetation, support pollutant removal, and improve the overall function and appearance of
the rain garden.
Final design plans are completed. No municipal permits are required and
IDNR GP#2 47419-46996 has been issued.
IDALS: $3,000
Practice #2: Interpretive Signage
TOTAL: $6,000 (includes design and printing
costs)
Practice Details: Interpretive signage will be placed in an accessible location near the
proposed practices. The goal of the signs is to convey the purpose of the project and increase
awareness of water quality improvement efforts. This information will be conveyed through
images and descriptions paired with the real-life example.

objection, including, if requested by the City, the prompt removal of the individual from the

Neither City nor the Service Provider shall assign or transfer any rights under or interest in

Provider is found to exist by the factfinder, City shall have no obligation to reimburse
Service Provider for services rendered in defending that allegation.

6.9.

Neither the Project Manager nor City's review, approval or acceptance of, nor payment for,
any of the services required under this contract shall be construed to operate as a waiver of
any rights under this contract or of any cause of action arising out of the performance of this

applicable law for all damages to City caused by Service Provider's negligent performance
of any of the services furnished under this Contract.

its failure to use reasonable diligence to remedy the situation and remove the cause in an
adequate manner and with all reasonable dispatch and to give notice and full particulars of
the same in writing to the other party as soon as possible after the occurrence of the
caused relied on. The requirement that any force majeure be remedied with all reasonable

prices, or over competitive bidding, market or negotiation conditions. Accordingly, the
Service Provider cannot and does not warrant or represent that bids or negotiated prices
will not vary from the project budget proposed, established or approved by the City, if any,
or from any other cost estimate prepared by the Service Provider. However, if the Service
Provider's Services require the project to be designed within a set budget, Service Provider

prefers to utilize 1230 Steuben Street as he would be able to own the property and make some
required improvements. Reynolds asked if the conditional use permit for 2301 Bridgeport would

4. Director’s Report
Leiss will be unavailable for the October 21 meeting and proposed October 14 as an alternative date. The meeting was rescheduled to October 14, 2026.
Leiss reached out to Brianna Trudell, the Library’s representative with Bradbury Miller Associates, regarding the final director interviews and presentations. Trudell was unavailable, and
Leiss will follow up the following day. Leiss also provided the applications of the three remaining finalists for the Trustees to review if desired. Gray reported that she had also contacted
Trudell but had not yet received a response. Leiss stated that if she hears from Trudell, she
will follow up with the Board, and Gray indicated that she will do the same.
Linda Santi arrived at 3:37 p.m.
Leiss noted that the Library’s 150th anniversary will be celebrated next December and that a
staff committee has been formed to begin planning activities. Gray noted that next year will
also mark the 100th anniversary of the Orpheum and suggested the possibility of a collaborative celebration.

Wharton reviewed the October meeting date change with Santi.
5. Financial Reports
A. Expenditures: Approve Claims [Action Item]
For the monthly budget summary, the percentage of funds used appears high because
annual insurance premiums are paid in a lump sum. This affects both the personnel and
operations budget lines.
Santi moved approval of claims as submitted. Wharton seconded, all voting aye. Motion
approved unanimously.
B. 2026-2027 Monthly Budget Summary
Trustees reviewed the report.
C. Restricted Funds Annual Summary and Gifts Report
Gifts are reported annually. Janet Plathe compiled a spreadsheet of gifts received for the
Board’s review.
Trustees reviewed the report.
6. New Business
A. Fiscal Year 2026 Corrected Statistics
There was an error identified in the FY2026 Checkout Statistics. Leiss noticed that a formula was missing, which resulted in 510 Hot Reads checkouts at Perry Creek not being
accounted for. This correction raised the total circulation for FY2026 from 320,359 to
320,869.
The Electronic Use Report also contained a formula error that caused the FY2025 numbers, which were included for comparison purposes with FY2026, to display incorrectly.
This has been identified and corrected, and the FY2025 comparison figures are now displaying accurately.
Trustees reviewed the corrected statistics.
B. Sioux City Public Library 2025-2026 Annual Report [Action Item]
A draft of the Annual Report was presented to the Board. The Library had a strong year,
with increases in many key statistics reflecting continued growth in library use and services. Wharton asked Leiss which staff person created the report, and Leiss noted that it
was compiled by the Library’s Graphics & Communications Specialist, Matti Smith. Wharton asked Leiss to pass along his appreciation to Smith for the impressive work she did in
putting the report together.

Wharton moved to approve the Sioux City Public Library 2025-2026 Annual Report.
Michaelson seconded, all voting aye. Motion approved unanimously.
C. FY2028 Operating Budget Discussion
Leiss shared that all City departments have been asked to submit a flat budget for FY2028,
with no increase in operating expenses. In addition, the City Manager requested that departments review their operations and provide suggested budget reductions and revenue
increases in anticipation of what he expects to be a difficult budget year. Discussion followed regarding what the Board wished to present to the City Manager.
Gray shared that, through conversations she and Jorstad have had with members of the
Friends and Foundation regarding the situation, members of both groups have expressed
a willingness to contribute funds to help pay for materials or items currently funded through
the City’s general fund. Jorstad stated that the Friends are willing to contribute $40,000
toward the FY2028 operating budget. Gray stated that the current Foundation funding for
hotspots could instead be used to support this effort. The Library has also been awarded
grants from the Missouri River Historic Development (MHRD), totaling $15,000 across
three grants, and one grant from the Carnegie Corporation for $10,000, which Gray identified as potential funding sources for this purpose. Jorstad added that the Friends are
looking to seek additional sponsorships.
Leiss shared information from State Library Northwest District Consultant Maryann Mori,
the American Library Association, and the Iowa Library Trustee’s Handbook regarding the
intended role of groups such as the Friends of the Library. These sources indicate that
Friends groups are intended to raise funds for projects that supplement a library’s budget
rather than supplant it. Leiss also shared statistics showing that the Sioux City Public Library ranks 9th among Iowa’s 15 largest cities in total budget expenditures and 12th in
collection expenditures. Santi expressed concerns about using Friends and Foundation
funds to supplant the City’s budget and questioned whether the grant parameters would
allow the funds to be deferred until the next fiscal year.
Leiss shared that the Library has a Capital Improvement Project request for FY2028 for a
new air handling system, estimated at just under $2 million, which also needs to be considered. Wharton asked Leiss for her suggested approach to budget reductions. Leiss
stated that she didn’t see areas that could be reduced beyond the reductions necessary
to meet the flat budget request. Instead, she would propose slight increases to current
revenue streams, noting that, as a free public library, this is the best option available. Leiss
stated that any further reductions to the Library’s budget would require consideration of
downsizing from the Library’s current three locations. Gray suggested that discussion regarding capital improvement projects and library locations should take place when there
is a new Director and a new strategic plan. Wharton expressed concern that offering a flat
budget for the coming year might not be accepted and stated that it was important to
demonstrate that the Board recognizes the difficult position facing the City and wants to
be a partner in helping reduce costs.
Leiss provided the Board with options for the current year’s Foundation distribution, including funding one-half of the Graphics/Communications Specialist position, a text messaging notification service for patrons, staff training, hotspots at either 100 or 50 lines, and
an annual subscription to The New York Times online. Gray stated that hotspots were
offered as a potential reduction by former Director Rigdon during the last budget cycle.
Delperdang stated that eliminating the hotspot collection would constitute a reduction in

services. Michaelson expressed concern about not offering any number of hotspots. Gray
and Jorstad shared that separate fundraising could be pursued to fund the hotspots and
The New York Times subscription.
Gray proposed that, given the Library’s upcoming leadership transition and development
of a new strategic plan, the Board consider a one-year commitment to help support the
FY2028 budget. The proposal would use outside and restricted funds to temporarily cover
expenses currently supported by the general fund. The proposed funding would include
$40,000 from the Friends of the Library, $38,800 from the Library Foundation, pending
approval by the Foundation Board, and $25,000 in MHRD and Carnegie grant funds, for
a total commitment of $103,800. These private funds would provide the City with shortterm financial support over the next year, while giving the Library the time and resources
needed to address key organizational and planning priorities.
The Trustees directed Leiss to draft an email to the City Manager expressing this proposal
and send it to the Trustees for review by Friday, September 18, 2026.
D. SCPL Foundation Endowment Operating Budget [Action Item]
As part of the FY2028 operating budget discussion, the Trustees directed Leiss to draft
the FY2027 Foundation Endowment Budget to include funding for one-half of the
Graphics/Communications Specialist position, a text messaging service for patron notifications, staff online training, and $38,800 to supplement the Library’s FY2028 operating
budget.
Jorstad moved to approve the 2027 SCPL Foundation Endowment Operating Budget.
Board seconded the motion, all voting aye. Motion approved unanimously.

CITY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
MEETING MINUTES
October 13, 2026
A meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission was held at 4:30 p.m. City Hall, 5th Floor
Council Chambers Room, 405 6th Street, Sioux City, IA 51101.
Commission Present: Andrew Glisar, Michelle Bostinelos, David Brockshus, Ryan Ross, Cheryl
Reynolds, Sam Wagner, and Nick Hegarty.
Commission Absent:
Staff Present: Marty Dougherty, Economic and Community Development Director; Chris Madsen,
Planning Manager; Gabriel Fordjour, Planner; Mike Collett, City Manager; Teresa Fitch, Assistant
City Manager; Renae Billings, Economic Development Manager; Gordon Phair, City Engineer;
Steven Postolka, Assistant City Attorney; and Stefanie Konz, Administrative Secretary.
CALL OF THE ROLL
Glisar read the opening statement explaining the procedures. He then introduced the Commission
members and City staff to the audience. The Commission was asked if any member would be
abstaining from any agenda items. Ross stated he was abstaining from the Planning and Zoning
Agenda Item 2026-105 and Hegarty and Brockshus stated they were abstaining from Agenda
Item’s 2026-104 due to a conflict of interest.
Planning and Zoning Agenda Item 2026-104: Requested Sign Design Program for the property
located at 3400 Line Drive. (Petitioner: Ace Sign Displays).
Fordjour presented the requested Sign Design Program for the property located at 3400 Line
Drive. The Petitioner, Ace Sign Displays, is requesting various wall signs on the façade of the
property. Fordjour provided a table indicating the square footage maximums and the proposed
square footage of the wall signs. Fordjour stated that the proposed wall signs are below the maximum sign area allowed.
Glisar (Wagner) moved to approve Planning and Zoning Agenda Item 2026-104. Motion Carried.
5-0-2 (Yes: Reynolds, Glisar, Ross, Wagner, and Bostinelos. No: 0. Abstain: Hegarty and Brockshus).
Planning and Zoning Agenda Item 2026-105: Requested GR (General Residential) zoning
upon annexation for property that is located at 7103 Morningside Avenue. (Petitioner: Overlook
Developers LLC).
Madsen presented the requested GR (General Residential) zoning upon annexation for the property located at 7103 Morningside Avenue. The Petitioner, Overlook Developers LLC, is requesting
the zoning upon annexation for future residential development. Madsen stated that all annexed
property is automatically zoned as RR (Rural Residential) unless a different zoning is requested.
The Petitioner is requesting single-family homes on the property and zoning to GR (General

Residential) will allow for the proposed lot sizes. Madsen also stated that as of right now the zone
change is the only item being requested and a Preliminary Plat will come at a later date. Madsen
also stated that the proposed concept plan has not been approved. Hegarty asked why an NC
(Neighborhood Conservation) zone was not proposed. Madsen stated that new development is
typically zoned as GR (General Residential), SR (Suburban Residential), and RR (Rural Residential). Madsen stated that apartment use would be allowed by right in the GR (General Residential)
zone, but the Petitioner is not proposing to construct apartment buildings at this time.
Petitioner, Dan Hiserote, stated that he is waiting for the annexation to go through to start working
on the development plans. Hiserote stated he is looking to construct single-family and estate
homes on the property. Utilities are already available to the property, and the stormwater has
been addressed. Hiserote also stated that there is a need for housing in Sioux City and he is okay
with zoning to SR (Suburban Residential) as he has no plans to develop apartment buildings.
Nora Moore expressed concerns about her property being annexed into the City. Staff stated the
subject property is the only property being annexed and requested zone change. Julia Adams,
Josh Koppleman, Bob Petrick, Neil Gonnerman, Carrie Levree, Deanne Zimmerman, Brian Miller,
Linda Murphy, Dean Reynolds, Nancy Goodin, Jim Goodin, Mary Carr, Norm Mahoney, Dave
Williams, Joe Carr, Carla Johnson, Lisa Mascarello, Dr. Baumann, and Chris Prince all spoke in
opposition to the proposed zoning upon annexation. The concerns expressed were regarding
traffic, dangerous intersections, density, the zoning classification, and the responsibility of the
infrastructure maintenance. Many citizens stated this project does not fit into the neighborhood,
and the increased traffic would be a big problem for the area. Gordon Phair, City Engineer, stated
that a traffic study would be completed as part of the preliminary plat. Hiserote addressed the
concerns expressed and stated that the concept was very preliminary. Hiserote also stated that
the lot sizes are not preset and could be adjusted. Hiserote also stated that the final plans will be
fully detailed and include sidewalks, lighting, and all necessary amenities. Hiserote also reiterated
that he has no intention of constructing apartments and would be fine with zoning to SR (Suburban
Residential).
Hegarty stated he would be in favor of zoning to SR (Suburban Residential) as that is the current
County zoning and what the future land use map indicates.
Hegarty (Glisar) moved to approve Planning and Zoning Agenda Item 2026-105 with the zone
change to SR (Suburban Commercial) upon annexation. Motion Carried. 6-0-1 (Yes: Glisar, Bostinelos, Brockshus, Reynolds, Hegarty, and Wagner. No: 0. Abstain: Ross.).
Discussion on a Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to address Data Centers:
Madsen presented a discussion on a Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to address data centers.
Madsen stated that data centers are currently not addressed in the Zoning Code which means
they would not be allowed. Madsen provided the definition of a data center, the benefits vs. challenges of having a data center, the types of data centers there currently are, examples of data
centers in Iowa, and the issues that would need to be addressed. Madsen also provided the
proposed schedule stating the item will be brought back on October 27, 2026, with a draft Ordinance and then again on November 24, 2026, to vote on and then to City Council. Hegarty asked
if it was possible to create a data center zone. Madsen stated it has been done in the past, but
the previous goal was to move away from doing that but can be looked into. Hegarty stated that
rather than looking into each type of data center individually it may be better to focus on things
like setbacks and lot size. Mike Collett, City Manager, stated it may be beneficial to also consider
accessory use and existing buildings.

Jim Jung stated that he thinks Sioux City has an opportunity to do this process the right way. Dolf
Ivener stated the biggest issue to look into would be noise control. Mary Nissen stated she has
spent a great deal of time researching data centers and thinks Sioux City needs to look at the
need for the data centers and the commitment to the community. Dean Brown stated that it is
time for Sioux City to grow and there are already designated areas for data centers in Sioux City.
Brown also stated that data centers need to be looked into realistically.
Other business.
a. Report by the Chair regarding Planning and Zoning items at the City Council meeting.
Glisar stated that the rezoning of 300 West 45th Street was approved. The Final Plat of Greene

CITY OF SIOUX CITY
REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
This document has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Manager,
City Attorney, and City Finance Department.
ITEM NUMBER:

12

MEETING DATE:

November 2, 2026

FROM:

Marty Dougherty, Economic and Community Development Director; Chris
Madsen, Planning Manager

Hearing and Ordinance amending Chapter 25.05 of the Sioux City Municipal
Code entitled “Site Development” to update the requirements for off-premises advertising signs and to repeal the interim sign ordinance. (Petitioner:
City of Sioux City). The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of this item. (File No. 2026-084)
RECOMMENDATION:
During the October 19, 2026, City Council meeting, the Council approved reconsideration of the
requested zoning ordinance text amendment. The item is now being presented again for Council
consideration.
Staff respectfully requests City Council approve the requested zoning ordinance text amendment,
subject to the following findings.
Planning and Zoning Commission:
Planning and Zoning Agenda Item 2026-084: Requested zoning ordinance text amendment to
the following portions of the Municipal Code Sections 25.05.180.4 and 25.05.210. (Petitioner: City
of Sioux City).
Madsen presented the requested zoning ordinance text amendment to the following portions of
the Municipal Code Sections 25.05.180.4 and 25.05.210. Madsen stated that staff received direction by City Council to review the off-premise advertising signs requirements. Madsen gave an
overview of the existing conditions as well as an overview of surrounding cities’ requirements in
comparison to Sioux City. Staff has met with several sign companies and have also incorporated
their comments into the proposed amendments. Madsen reviewed the proposed amendments
which include a height restriction exemption for the Gordon Drive Viaduct, increased setbacks,
increased separation requirements, as well as alternative amendments such as a potential cap
and replacement and a site plan to be reviewed and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission as well as City Council.
Dave Halpin with Lamar Advertising stated he has concerns with the proposed separation requirements and the proposal of a freestanding sign not allowed on the same property as an offpremise sign. Halpin did state that a cap and replacement requirement will prevent an overpopulation of signs and in general be positive for the city. Halpin also stated he does not see the need
for a site plan approval process.

The Planning and Zoning Commission held a general discussion regarding the proposed amendments and decided to vote on each amendment separately for clarity.
Hegarty (Ross) moved to amend Section 5a and increase the static separation from 600 feet to
1,000 feet and the digital separation from 600 feet to 5,000 feet. Motion Carried. 7-0-0 (Yes: Ross,
Hegarty, Bostinelos, Glisar, Wagner, Brockshus, and Reynolds. No: 0. Abstain: 0).
Wagner (Glisar) moved to approve amended Section 3d and Section 4. Motion Carried. 7-0-0
(Yes: Hegarty, Bostinelos, Glisar, Wagner, Brockshus, Reynolds, and Ross. No: 0. Abstain: 0).
Hegarty (Glisar) moved to remove the second sentence in amended Section 5b that states “An
off-premise advertising sign shall be counted towards the total number of freestanding signs allowed by Municipal Code Section 25.05.180.3 Freestanding Signs.” Motion Carried. 7-0-0 (Yes:
Bostinelos, Glisar, Wagner, Brockshus, Reynolds, Ross, and Hegarty. No: 0. Abstain: 0).
Wagner (Glisar) moved to rescind the existing moratorium. Motion Carried. 7-0-0 (Yes: Glisar,
Wagner, Brockshus, Reynolds, Ross, Hegarty, and Bostinelos. No: 0. Abstain: 0).
Glisar moved the proposed alternative amendment Section 9a 1-4. Motion Carried. 5-2-0 (Yes:
Wagner, Brockshus, Reynolds, Ross, and Bostinelos. No: Hegarty and Glisar. Abstain: 0).
Ross (Bostinelos) moved to amend Section 10a from one to five years and include the proposed
amendment Section 10a 3. Motion Carried. (Yes: Brockshus, Reynolds, Ross, Hegarty, Bostinelos, Glisar, and Wagner. No: 0 Abstain: 0).
Findings of Fact:
1) A new Zoning and Sign Code became effective on March 28, 2015.
2) The Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council approved a moratorium on new offpremise advertising signage and directed staff to recommend additional requirements for offpremise advertising signage.
3) The proposal would help manage the additional demand for signage while allowing new companies to the market.
Recommended Conditions of Approval:
None.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Sioux City, Petitioner, requests a Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to update the
requirements for off-premise advertising signs. City staff received direction from City Council to
develop a moratorium for off-premise signs following the construction of a number of signs in
Sioux City. A moratorium was placed on off-premise signage on September 15, 2025, to allow
staff time to develop additional requirements for off-premise signs. The moratorium was extended
an additional six-months on March 9, 2026. The City Council had previously placed a moratorium
and updated the off-premise sign requirements by addressing digital signs and updating the sign
free corridors that was approved in January of 2024.
City staff have reviewed the sign ordinances of other communities in Iowa and surrounding states
and developed a proposed ordinance. Staff have also kept sign companies apprised of the direction staff’s research was taking. Staff gave informational presentations to the City Council during
the joint meeting with the Planning and Zoning Commission on June 23, 2026, and the Planning
and Zoning Commission on January 13, February 10, and August 11, 2026, with the proposed

text amendment and sought direction on a number of issues. City staff also met with sign companies to give an overview of the proposed text amendment and receive input. City staff have had
discussions with six sign companies that are either already in the Sioux City market or wish to
enter. Two of the sign companies that are not currently in the market have expressed the desire
to construct ten or more new digital off-premise signs each.
This review and update is intended to address changes in the industry, including the greatly increased use of digital displays, local market changes, and increased requests for new and modified signs. The size, height, type of construction and setbacks of off-premise advertising signs are
controlled by the Zoning and Sign Ordinance. There are currently 140 sign structures which provide for a total of 278 sign faces located in Sioux City, and many more locations in Sioux City
qualify for additional off-premise signs to be constructed under the current Zoning and Sign Ordinance.
Analysis:
Existing Conditions
As stated earlier, the City of Sioux City has a total of 140 sign structures and a total of 278
sign faces. The Planning and Zoning Commission directed staff to compare the number
of off-premise advertising signs in Sioux City to other communities in the region. On a per
capita basis, Sioux City has significantly more signage than cities in the region. There is
currently one off-premise advertising sign per 618 residents, which is 45% more than
Sioux Falls, SD, 37% more than Omaha, NE, and 28% more than Des Moines, Iowa as
examples. The full comparison can be found in Attachment B.
Amend Section 25.05.180.4, Off-Premise Advertising Signs
The proposed changes in the proposed zoning ordinance text amendment are to the OffPremise Advertising Signs section, or more commonly referred to as billboards. The below
descriptions depict the recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission made
during its regular meeting on August 25, 2026. City staff also prepared a number of alternative options that were discussed during the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
These options are also listed below and are not reflected in the proposed ordinance.
Height Restrictions
Staff are recommending adding a height requirement for the area in the vicinity of the
Gordon Drive Viaduct. The increased height of the viaduct is expected to be about an
additional eight (8) feet in height. The 1976 Sign Ordinance had a provision for the area
adjacent to the viaduct that increased the allowable height of off-premise advertising signs
to 65’. The proposal would bring this exception back into the current Zoning and Sign
Ordinance. During conversations with Lamar Advertising, which owns the nine (9) signs
in the vicinity of the viaduct, a 60’ height requirement would be acceptable to them.
Setbacks
City staff received multiple concerns regarding the proximity of recently constructed offpremise advertising signs to the public right-of-way. City staff’s research found that a common requirement in other cities is to require the sign meet the setbacks of the underlying
zoning district. This would increase the setback requirement from the current ten (10) feet
to 25 feet in the GC zoning district and 20 feet in the GI zoning district. Staff are also
requesting clarification language that the setback is to any portion of the sign structure,
and not only the advertising portion of the sign.

Additional Regulations
Staff are proposing increasing the separation requirement between off-premise advertising signs from 600 feet to 1,000 feet. The proposed separation would match the requirements found in Cedar Rapids and Urbandale. The proposal also includes a separation
requirement between on and off-premise signage. This would help alleviate the concerns
noted by the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission regarding sign being
placed in close proximity to each other. The 100 foot separation also matches the current
separation requirement between two on-premise freestanding signs.
Staff are also proposing a requirement that an off-premise advertising sign cannot be located on the same parcel as a pole or pylon sign. The concerns noted by City Council and
the Planning and Zoning Commission were in regard to off-premise signs being placed in
close proximity to existing signage and blocking neighboring signage. Existing properties
where pole or pylon signs are located would be able to construct an off-premise sign if the
pole or pylon sign is removed and replaced with a monument sign.
Replacement of Existing Off-Premises Advertising Signs
Staff noted during research of other cities’ requirements is a replacement ratio, or essentially a cap and replace requirement. This would require that existing off-premise advertising signs be removed to allow for the construction of a new sign structure. Staff noted that
Cedar Rapids and Lincoln and Omaha Nebraska have a version of replacement. The City
of Des Moines has also capped their current number of off-premise signs, and West Des
Moines and Iowa City only allows off-premise signs in their industrial zones, which are
limited in number and due to existing signs and their separation requirement, essentially
has capped their buildable number of signs as well.
As stated before, the City has been approached by six additional sign companies that wish
to enter the Sioux City market and place approximately ten (10) new signs each. During
the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on August 11, 2026, Lamar Advertising did
advise the Commission that it is common for sign companies to follow Lamar to new markets and inundate the market with new signs in an attempt to sell those sign structures.
Lamar Advertising did confirm that they have been contacted by other sign companies
that constructed new digital off-premise signs and have offered to sell. Lamar Advertising
also mentioned that it is common for municipalities to approve a replacement requirement
shortly after they enter a market due to the influx in off-premise sign applications. Lamar
Advertising stated the City should include the replacement requirement as part of the ordinance.
The proposed replacement requirement is to require the removal of an existing static offpremise advertising sign when a new sign is proposed. Two (2) static off-premise advertising signs or one existing digital sign would be required to be removed for the construction of a new digital sign.
Exceptions
Staff are proposing an exception that would allow for the relocation of existing signs when
a governmental action causes signs to be removed. This is in immediate response to the
Gordon Drive Viaduct project, where nine (9) signs will be removed to accommodate the
new construction. The provision would allow for the reconstruction of the existing signs
within 500 feet of the previous site, and allow for concessions to setbacks and separation
requirements as approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Lamar Advertising
did review this section and generally approved of the language, with one change

proposed increasing the allowance for reconstruction from the one (1) year that staff had
originally proposed to five (5) years. One alternative in this section would only be applicable if the replacement requirement is included in the approved ordinance. The alternative
would require that any static sign impacted by a government action would need to adhere
to the replacement requirement if converted to digital.
Interim Sign Ordinance
Staff would also request the Interim Sign Ordinance to be repealed from the Municipal
Code as the moratorium would no longer be necessary. The moratorium is set to expire
on December 19, 2026.
Alternatives
As stated earlier, the alternative provisions were additional requirements that staff noted
as possibilities that exceeded the recommended provisions of the zoning and sign ordinance text amendment. These provisions were not recommended by the Planning and
Zoning Commission and are not part of the attached ordinance.
The first alternative provision would require that an off-premise advertising sign would be
counted toward the total number of freestanding signs allowed on a property. Generally
one freestanding sign is allowed per street frontage, to a maximum of two. The placement
of an off-premise sign would be counted as one of the allowable freestanding signs.
Staff are also providing an alternative to the above requirements, simply stating that no
off-premise advertising sign could be located on a site that currently has a freestanding
on-premise sign. This requirement would be much more restrictive than the staff proposal
for separation between signs, and would have a much larger impact on sign density. This
alternative would be effective, however staff believe the separation requirements would
accomplish the direction staff was given and allow more flexibility in allowing off-premise
signs in a reasonable manner.
The final alternative recommendation being made as part of the zoning ordinance text
amendment is to require a site plan approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission
and City Council for any new off-premise advertising sign. A concern raised during the
Joint City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission meeting was that councilmembers are not aware of when a new sign permit has been issued, as the permits are administratively approved if all standards are met. The site plan requirement would require public
hearings and eventual City Council approval of any new permit. This provision would
match the process currently required for any new telecommunication tower already outlined in the zoning ordinance.
Effective Date
The Iowa Department of Transportation requested the moratorium extension for an extra
three months to allow for their negotiations regarding off-premise advertising signs next to
the Gordon Drive Viaduct. Staff have updated the ordinance to include an effective date
of December 19, 2026. This matches the end date of the existing moratorium.
Variances
The City Council has discussed variances as an option to allow additional signs with the
replacement of existing signs requirement. Sign variances are allowed per Municipal Code
Section 25.06.090.23. The approval criteria within this section sets the standards that
would be need to be met for a variance request to be approved.

4. Approval Criteria. The Board of Adjustment may grant a variance only when it is
demonstrated that:
a. Granting the sign variance will not substantially conflict with any adopted plans or
policies of the City, or the purposes or intent set out in this Code;
b. There are exceptional conditions creating an undue hardship, applicable only to
the property involved, or the intended use thereof, which do not generally apply to
the other land areas or uses within the same district or the general vicinity;
c. The applicant cannot derive a reasonable use of the property without approval of
a sign variance;
d. Granting the sign variance will not generally set a precedent for other applications
(which would indicate that a text amendment to this Code should be proposed and
considered instead);
e. Granting the sign variance will not be detrimental to any adjacent properties or the
area; and
f. Granting the sign variance will not be detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare.
House File 652 significantly changed how variances are reviewed and approved, with the
City Council having the authority to overturn Board of Adjustment decisions regarding variances. A variance application would still have to demonstrate that all six of the above
criteria are satisfied to be approved.
Conclusion
As stated earlier, the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission directed City staff
to research additional requirements for off-premise advertising signs and develop an ordinance. During that review, staff found that Sioux City has a significantly higher number of
signs than other cities in the region, ranging from 27% to 55% more signs per capita. No
regional city had a larger comparison of signs per resident than is currently the case in
Sioux City. The additional signs proposed by companies that have followed Lamar Advertising to the region would increase that already highest number of signs significantly. Staff
estimates approximately 1,100 parcels would be eligible for an off-premise advertising
sign with approval of the proposed ordinance. The regulations proposed by staff would
help manage the additional demand for signage while allowing new companies to the market.
Staff also believe the history Lamar Advertising has expressed and has seen other cities
institute a replacement requirement needs to be considered. City staff have already been
contacted by six (6) sign companies, with a collective desire to add 60 off-premise advertising signs within City limits. The replacement alternative that is proposed would institute
a cap on new off-premise advertising signs, while still giving provisions to allow new signs
and conversion of signs to digital.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no anticipated City financial impact.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:
The subject request is an example of “Expand Development Opportunities and Grow Sioux City”
of the Strategic Plan.

ALTERNATIVES:
Provide City staff with additional direction.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION

MEETING DATE:

November 2, 2026

FROM:

Marty Dougherty, Economic and Community Development Director;
Chris Madsen, Planning Division Manager

Ordinance placing the newly annexed territory described as 7103 Morningside Avenue in the zone classification SR (Suburban Residential). The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of SR (Suburban Residential) zoning. (File No. 2026-105) (First consideration approved October 26,
2026, with an amendment to change the requested zoning classification from
GR (General Residential) to SR (Suburban Residential).)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff respectfully requests City Council approve the requested zoning upon annexation, subject
to the following findings.
Planning and Zoning Commission:
Planning and Zoning Agenda Item 2026-105: Requested GR (General Residential) zoning upon
annexation for property that is located at 7103 Morningside Avenue. (Petitioner: Overlook Developers, LLC).
Madsen presented the requested GR (General Residential) zoning upon annexation for the property located at 7103 Morningside Avenue. The Petitioner, Overlook Developers, LLC, is requesting the zoning upon annexation for future residential development. Madsen stated that all annexed property is automatically zoned as RR (Rural Residential) unless a different zoning is requested. The Petitioner is requesting single-family homes on the property and zoning to GR (General Residential) will allow for the proposed lot sizes. Madsen also stated that as of right now the
zone change is the only item being requested and a Preliminary Plat will come at a later date.
Madsen also stated that the proposed concept plan has not been approved. Hegarty asked why
an NC (Neighborhood Conservation) zone was not proposed. Madsen stated that new development is typically zoned as GR (General Residential), SR (Suburban Residential), and RR (Rural
Residential). Madsen stated that apartment use would be allowed by right in the GR (General
Residential) zone, but the Petitioner is not proposing to construct apartment buildings at this time.
Petitioner, Dan Hiserote, stated that he is waiting for the annexation to go through to start working
on the development plans. Hiserote stated he is looking to construct single-family and estate
homes on the property. Utilities are already available to the property, and the stormwater has
been addressed. Hiserote also stated that there is a need for housing in Sioux City and he is okay
with zoning to SR (Suburban Residential) as he has no plans to develop apartment buildings.

Nora Moore expressed concerns about her property being annexed into the City. Staff stated the
subject property is the only property being annexed and requesting a zoning change. Julia Adams,
Josh Koppleman, Bob Petrick, Neil Gonnerman, Carrie Levree, Deanne Zimmerman, Brian Miller,
Linda Murphy, Dean Reynolds, Nancy Goodin, Jim Goodin, Mary Carr, Norm Mahoney, Dave
Williams, Joe Carr, Carla Johnson, Lisa Mascarello, Dr. Baumann, and Chris Prince all spoke in
opposition to the proposed zoning upon annexation. The concerns expressed were regarding
traffic, dangerous intersections, density, the zoning classification, and the responsibility of the
infrastructure maintenance. Many citizens stated this project does not fit into the neighborhood,
and the increased traffic would be a big problem for the area. Gordon Phair, City Engineer, stated
that a traffic study would be completed as part of the preliminary plat. Hiserote addressed the
concerns expressed and stated that the concept was very preliminary. Hiserote also stated that
the lot sizes are not preset and could be adjusted. Hiserote also stated that the final plans will be
fully detailed and will include sidewalks, lighting, and all necessary amenities. Hiserote also reiterated that he has no intention of constructing apartments and would be fine with zoning to SR
(Suburban Residential).
Hegarty stated he would be in favor of zoning to SR (Suburban Residential) as that is the current
County zoning and what the future land use map indicates.
Hegarty (Glisar) moved to approve Planning and Zoning Agenda Item 2026-105 with the zone
change to SR (Suburban Residential) upon annexation. Motion Carried. 6-0-1 (Yes: Glisar, Bostinelos, Brockshus, Reynolds, Hegarty, and Wagner. No: 0. Abstain: Ross).
Findings of Fact:
1) The property owner, Overlook Developers, LLC, has signed an application to annex the subject
property.
2) Without zoning action, the property will be zoned RR (Rural Residential) upon annexation.
3) The property is currently zoned County SR (Suburban Residential).
4) The proposal conforms to the 2005 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map.
Recommended Conditions of Approval:
None
DISCUSSION:
The City received a request from Overlook Developers, LLC (Petitioner), to annex a 16.94-acre
tract of land located at 7103 Morningside Avenue. The original request was for GR (General Residential) zoning upon annexation to allow for future residential development of the property. At the
October 26, 2026, City Council meeting, the City Council approved the annexation and the original
zoning request was amended to SR (Suburban Residential). The ordinance presented for consideration reflects this amendment and provides for SR (Suburban Residential) zoning upon annexation. A general area map is enclosed for review.
Analysis:
Annexed property is automatically zoned RR (Rural Residential) unless a different zoning is requested pursuant to Municipal Code Section 25.01.110.4. Municipal Code Section 25.01.110.4 of
the Zoning Ordinance notes: “A petition may be filed with the Planning and Zoning Commission
and the City Council requesting a different zoning classification so that when a parcel is annexed
it will, immediately upon annexation, be classified in a zoning district other than Rural Residential
(RR)”. Without approval of this action, the property will be annexed into the City zoned RR (Rural
Residential) and then rezoning would be required. The City has begun the annexation process
and the full annexation and zoning upon annexation process can be found below. The Petitioner

is proposing single-family homes on the property and is requesting rezoning to GR (General Residential) to accommodate their proposed lot sizes.

On June 2, 2026, Governor Reynolds signed Senate File 2378 into law, which repealed Iowa
Code Section 414.5. This state code section previously granted the ability of neighboring property
owners to petition a rezoning and require a supermajority vote of City Council. With the repeal of
the enabling legislation, a petition can no longer require a supermajority vote for City Council
approval.
A petition in opposition has also been received from neighboring property owners and can be
found below. Twenty-five notices were sent within the required timeframe. Thirteen responses
were received in opposition to the requested zoning upon annexation and are as follows:

Agenda Date: 10/13/2026
Address: 1701 Portland Blvd., Sioux City, IA 51106
Agenda Item No: 2026-0105
Comments: I want to register our objection to the proposed developer build out of 7103 Morningside Ave. When we moved here 7 years ago it was to get away from the big city and live in a
more rural, peaceful environment. Since then, I have witnessed countless homes being disturbed, developments being constructed without any regard to traffic flow, roads built splitting

houses to get to new neighborhoods that take years to complete. The apartments at Whispering
Creek were quite a surprise and we only found out what was happening when I asked about all
of the dirt semis passing our intersection. On one day I counted 31. That lasted for 3 years only
to slow down when the interior work was started. The Overlook development at Singing Hills and
Christy had about 3 to 4 homes when we got here. 7 years later they are still building. The Elk
Creek subdivision has been under construction for about 3 to 4 years and is still not complete. I
felt so sorry for the established homes that lost views, peace and quiet, less traffic. I never thought
one day it would be us.
The population of Sioux City in 1940 was 82,362. It was at its peak in 1960 of 89,159. 2026 it is
86,356. The population is stagnate, has been stagnate. What is the justification for all these new
homes, duplexes, and apartments?
We have adjusted to the increased traffic flow with as much grace as we can. Checking 3 times
before stepping to mailbox for fear of getting hit by traffic. We are in a pretty much elderly neighborhood and now in people's senior years with age and agility waning, the city and county are
looking to keep their lives in limbo, confusion, and construction for who knows how long and how
much of our yards will be confiscated to accommodate an unjustifiable plan.
The map sent out is of the worst quality available in this digital age. It looks like a few of us might
lose some property. There are rumors of a traffic circle being put at the curve EXACTLY WHERE
WE LIVE. Is this true? What are the traffic remediation plans if this is all approved? How are the
farm semis that travel this route going to be handled? What about our home values?
The notification speaks to the developers' intentions. As the saying goes "The road to hell is
paved with good intentions." That is not a binding or comforting thought for us homeowners,
some of whom have lived in this area all of their lives. Only to face this stress and anxiety in their
elder years.
Please have a heart and listen to the homeowners.

My name is Mary Murphy. I live at 7200 Morningside Ave. This letter is in regarding Item #20260105. This is the item that requesting the property at 7103 Morningside Ave annexation and rezoning.
First I would like to point out, that I did not receive notice of this from the Planning and Zoning
Commission. I am within 200 feet of 7103 Morningside Ave. I found out about this information
from the neighbors on October 9, 2026. I absolutely should have been notified. This is a lack of
due care, investigation, and verification on the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Secondly, I vehemently oppose the annexation of 7103 Morningside Ave to the City of Sioux City
as well as the rezoning of this property.
I have many reasons for this.
1. Safety. Portland Blvd, Morningside Avenue, and Old highway 141 meet at the bottom of
my driveway. I already have had rollovers in my front yard where death resulted due to
high speeds and high volume of traffic. Every winter especially, I have cars in my front
yard.

2. Money. With Sioux City already struggling with debt, annexing this property would cause
an enormous debt to the city. Our area is rural. We have our own septic systems and wells.
There is no city water in this area. The surrounding area of the 7103 Morningside property
does not have city water. Although annexation is voluntary, why would the Planning and
Zoning Commission even consider this when it does not benefit the city in any way. Annexing this property would force the city to provide police, fire, and road maintenance to
an island area. It does not make economic sense.
3. Intent. This property was purchased by Overlook Developers with the intent of making
around 40 single family residential homes. With the amount of land that the developer has
purchased, there is not enough room to put that many “homes” to stay consistent with the
neighborhood aesthetics. I live in a rural area and do not want to be city. I have lived in
my home for 36 years and do not want to live across the road from a non-rural housing
development. The only person that benefit from this development is Overlook Developers.
To summarize, I oppose the annexation as well as the rezoning of the 7103 Morningside Ave
property.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Overlook development 7103 Morningside Ave:
I have serious concerns regarding the proposed annexation and development of this property.
The surrounding area already experiences significant traffic, hazardous intersections, and unsafe
driving conditions. Adding further development could increase traffic congestion, create additional
safety hazards, and place an even greater burden on the existing road infrastructure.
There is also a large apartment complex located nearby, contributing to the existing population
and traffic in the area. Introducing additional development without carefully evaluating its potential
impact could create further problems for residents, motorists, and pedestrians.
Before any annexation or development is approved, I believe the city should conduct a thorough
traffic and safety study, evaluate the capacity of existing roads and intersections, and determine
whether adequate infrastructure is in place to accommodate the proposed growth.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I am writing to express my objection to the request to rezone the property at 7103 Morningside
Ave. Its been 56 years since I moved to this area as a kid and then built our home with my wife
52 years ago. Our backyard is on Portland Blvd. Our home faces west and is on the private lane
named Hawthorne Ave. It’s home and like all things in life things change. I must say most of these
changes haven’t been great for those who live on Portland Blvd and Christy Rd. People figured
out that country living is wonderful but the more that move in around here the less country living
is here. Our road is no longer peaceful . There is constant traffic most of the time and you have
to plan your coming and going as to be able to get off of our lane and onto the street. We avoid
as much as possible turning north on Portland . If you try to leave at the wrong time you might
have to wait in a line of 10 to 15 cars trying to pull onto Morningside Ave . That is a terrible blind
curve. There have been many accidents there along with at least two fatalities so having a second entrance across from Portland would drastically increase the danger. Along with that entrance
just 50 ft north is the entrance to our gravel lane Hawthorne Ave. This is maintained by those of

us who live on it. Too often it’s used by those who want a shortcut to miss the stop sign at the end
of Portland. Our pets, our kids and grandkids don’t play in the front yard because rather than a
safe speed they can hit about 40 mph on the two block stretch. It’s only one lane wide so if you
meet someone you end up driving in somebody’s yard and tearing it up. The noise, the unsafe
driving , the litter thrown out because no one will see it and especially the speeding has disrupted
our neighborhood with each new development that is built. We want to have the rural feel that
still exists stay that way. 40 plus new units built on top of each other will contribute in destroying
our peaceful area even more. I hope you will consider how much this will negatively effect us as
you make your decision, because the vote of those who live out here will be felt. So if the developer wants to build in the city let them find property that’s already in the city and let us live with
things just as they are. Please vote no to rezone that area
A happy Rural resident.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I do not want this property annexed or zoned differently. This should remain a private family residential property. This is what our surrounding neighborhood is. Not a mass swelling of new
homes in our front and back yards. Traffic on Morningside Avenue, Old Hwy 141 (D-25), Christy
Road and Portland Blvd has increased massively over the last 7-10 years due to the increase in
residential homes and 18 3 story apartment buildings (built by Overlook Developers LLC) in
Whispering Creek. Our quiet neighborhoods are no longer quiet.

PLEASE DO NOT ANNEX THIS PROPERTY.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Planning and Zoning Commission Members and City Staff,

My name is David Lyman, and I live at 1727 Hawthorne Avenue. I am working out of town and
cannot attend today’s hearing regarding Item 2026-105, the proposed General Residential zoning
upon annexation for 7103 Morningside Avenue.
Please provide this letter to the Commission before the hearing and include it in the meeting
record.
Thank you for confirming that my home will not be included in this annexation. I remain concerned,
however, about traffic, safe access, and the potential for future annexation of our neighborhood.
My understanding is that the proposed development would consist of single-family homes arranged on a cul-de-sac. Residents already experience difficulty exiting our lane onto Christy Road
and Highway 141. These challenges are particularly significant during the morning and evening
commutes, but they also occur at other times throughout the day. In our experience, traffic and
access became noticeably worse after Whispering Creek expanded to the south.
The proposed property is located along a curved, hilly section of roadway with limited visibility. As
someone who regularly drives in this area, I believe this would be a potentially dangerous location
for a new intersection. Drivers entering or leaving the development may have difficulty seeing
approaching vehicles, while drivers approaching the intersection may have limited time to react
to vehicles turning or waiting to enter traffic.
Before the Commission takes action, please provide the proposed number of homes, the location
where the cul-de-sac would connect to the existing road network, and the anticipated traffic routes
into and out of the development.
I respectfully request that the Commission defer its zoning recommendation until a traffic and
access safety study has evaluated existing conditions and the additional traffic expected from the
proposed development. At a minimum, the study should address:
● The availability of safe gaps for entering traffic and existing vehicle waiting times, including
during peak commute periods.
● Visibility in both directions at the proposed entrance.
● The combined effects of the curve, hill, and vehicle speeds on drivers’ ability to see and react.
● Whether an intersection can be safely located at the proposed site and whether a safer access
location is available.
● Any road or intersection improvements that would be necessary to accommodate the development safely.
If improvements are needed, residents should be informed about what those improvements would
involve, who would be responsible for paying for them, and whether they would be completed
before the new homes are occupied.
Although my home is excluded from the current proposal, I would also appreciate a clear explanation of whether this boundary expansion could lead to the future annexation of our neighborhood. My family, along with our neighbors, opposes annexation of our properties and wants them
to remain outside the city limits.
Please include this correspondence in the October 26 City Council annexation hearing record. I
would appreciate a written response addressing these concerns, as well as notification of any
future hearings or decisions concerning this property.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Re: 7103 Morningside Ave/ Overlook Developers, Agenda Item 2026-105
Summary:

1. Vote NO and DENY annexation of 7103 Morningside Ave
2. Zone said property of 7103 Morningside Ave as Rural Residential

My name is Linda Murphy. I live at 7104 Morningside Ave. I live across the highway from 7103
Morningside Ave. I ask that you please read my letter and consider what I say when making your
decisions today.
The easiest way to explain the property is that it is a 17 acre island surrounded by 25 properties.
All of the surrounding properties have our own septic systems and our own wells. Most of us have
an acre of land, some more, some slightly less. We chose to live where we are because of the
nature surrounding us. We have lots of trees and wildlife: pheasant, turkeys, coyotes, deer, chickens, horses, and one very loud donkey. If the donkey doesn’t wake me up, the roosters do. It is a
rural way of life, close to the city, but not in it. We grow corn in our yards and our kids play in the
dirt. They climb trees and we burn the limbs that fall down after they climb the trees.
I am not a lawyer, a real estate agent, or a powerful person by any means. I am a home health
nurse. I take care of the most fragile children we have in Sioux City. I am writing this letter from
the heart. Please listen to what I say.
I don’t want the said property to be annexed into the city. I fear it is a slippery slope. Once a
property is annexed, it isn’t long before the properties around it are also annexed. This is just what
happens. Looking at the map of the property to be annexed, it isn’t just the property. It also includes Highway 141 (also known as Dead Man’s Run for good reason) and Morningside Ave. The
annexation would be in my front yard. I do not want my property to ever be annexed into the city.
I wouldn’t be able to afford the taxes. I bought my home so that I could live next door to my mom,
Mary Murphy and make sure that she never lives in a nursing home. She is 80 years old and lives
at 7200 Morningside Ave. She is located on the corner of Morningside Ave, Portland Blvd, and
Highway 141. This is better known as Dead Man’s Curve.
As it is now, my family does not use my mom’s driveway. It is too dangerous. Everyone drives
from the back gravel road of Hawthorn Ave and then across my front yard to reach her home.
Every year, we get a handful of cars that end up in our front yards. More in the winter but some
in the summer. I have a collection of sign posts that have been knocked down by cars going too
fast. I have 3 10 foot bushes in front of my driveway to protect the house. I don’t even like the
bushes. They are ugly but they have saved by home more than once just last year. My mom has
boulders in her yard. Unfortunately, we have had multiple people end up in car wrecks in her yard
with one fatality. With this in mind, you can see how dangerous the road is.
One of the more recent accidents came from Mr. Histerote’s own newly acquired driveway when
the garbage truck pulled out in front of a motorcycle sending the motorcyclist to the hospital and
the garbage truck preforming a hit and run. This happened in the past few months.
Mr Histerote has drawn a plan to have 40 homes exit his property at Dead Man’s Curve. It doesn’t
take much thought to see that this is a very very bad idea that will lead to catastrophe. Very poor
planning on Mr. Histerote’s part with no regard for safety or the welfare of people. His proposed
plan consists of cramming as many homes as he can into the smallest area possible, all under
the guise of “workforce housing” and “expanding diverse housing opportunities.”
By denying the annexation into the city AND zoning rural residential

1. The number of homes built will be limited.
2. Each home will have larger plats and fit into the surrounding area.
3. City traffic will be kept in the city not in the country
4. Sioux City tax payers will not have to pay for road maintenance for a segmented area
of land.
5. Sioux City will not have to provide police, fire, garbage, or water to an island area.
6. The beauty of this rural area will be preserved including wildlife and trees.
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and please take my concerns into consideration
and deny annexation to 7103 Morningside Ave and zone 7103 Morningside Ave rural residential.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff respectfully requests Council approval of the above resolution authorizing the City Manager
to negotiate a Development Agreement and Minimum Assessment Agreement with Perdue Premium Meat Company, Inc.
DISCUSSION:
In 2022, Perdue Premium Meat Company Inc. purchased the former Tur-Pak property at 6201
Southbridge Drive. The company invested over $50 million in the purchase, renovation and expansion of the facility which is now a high-tech pork processing facility. The project was completed
and Perdue Premium Meat Company Inc. began operations in the facility in mid-2025. The company now employs approximately 250 people and the assessment on the property is more than
$9 million.
The City did not provide financial assistance for the development of the plant. However, Perdue
later requested assistance with the construction of a truck terminal, service center and trailer
storage facility on the east side of Southbridge Drive as well as the purchase of a 0.541-acre
portion of vacated right-of-way located adjacent to the north of their new plant. Perdue intends to
incorporate this property into their campus for use as additional parking or a possible future expansion. Based on the significant capital investment made in the processing plant, City Council
directed staff to work with Perdue to finalize a development agreement.
As part of the proposed Development Agreement and Minimum Assessment Agreement, the Perdue Premium Meat Company Inc will:
▪
▪

Commit to investing $1.4 million to develop the truck terminal and service center.
Enter into a Minimum Assessment Agreement of $1,768,400 (which includes the existing
assessment of $568,400 plus an additional $1.2 million in new value) beginning January
1, 2028, and continuing for a period of ten years.

As part of the proposed Development Agreement and Minimum Assessment Agreement, the City
will:
▪
▪

Sell a 0.541-acre portion of vacated right-of-way adjacent to Perdue’s existing facility.
Provide 100% property tax rebates for a ten-year period on the truck terminal and service
center located at 6140 Harbor Drive and 6302 Harbor Drive. Total property tax rebates
are estimated at $377,000. The property to be sold to Perdue will not be eligible for the
property tax rebates.

Pursuant to Resolution No. 2026-0904, approved by the City Council on September 28, 2026, the
City announced its intent to accept the proposal of Perdue Premium Meat Company, Inc. subject
to the City’s public notice and proposal process and set a date for the required hearing. Staff
recommends City Council approve the attached resolution to authorize the City Manager to negotiate an agreement. Following negotiations, the agreement will be brought to City Council for
final consideration.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City will benefit from increased property taxes resulting from the Minimum Assessment
Agreement.
