CEDAR FALLS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN


Table 14.1: Implementat ion Schedule Type


Develop incentives to guide developments toward using conservation and low impact design principles. Coordinate land protection with the Black Hawk County Conservation Board and others.


Identify funds and implement plans to restore and manage environmentally sensitive lands in public ownership.


Consider a tree ordinance that protects trees and mitigates losses from construction. Develop incentives to restore and manage environmentally sensitive lands in private ownership.


Use the City’s website to communicate information about natural resource conservation and events (e.g., bioblitz1


, raingarden workshop). Parks & Recreation Priorities (Chapter 10)


Plan new parks and open space in target growth areas, and maintain a high level of park and recreational services across the city.


Assess park needs on existing public lands.


Acquire and expand parks and open space through park dedication, floodplain buyout, conservation easement, fee purchase, and transfer of development rights.


Commercial Development Priorities (Chapter 9) Support neighborhood-oriented commercial development in residential areas


Provide attractive, contemporary sites for commercial and industrial development that take advantage of the city’s transportation, location, and environmental assets.


Focus commercial development in the downtown, at major intersections, in key neighborhood nodes, and in mixed use settings.


Promote varying scales of commercial development, ranging from neighborhood shops to regional commercial centers.


Downtown Priorities (Chapter 9) Redevelop State Street Area


Infrastructure Priorities (Chapters 6 and 12)


Address stormwater volume, rate and water quality by adopting standards and guidelines in the Iowa Stormwater Management Manual.


Provide incentives for naturalized stormwater management and stream restoration in new development and redevelopment projects.


To control volume, update Code Chapter 27, Article VI (Post-Construction Stormwater Control) to require that all runoff from a defined storm be retained on site.


Identify and plan improvements to developed areas which degrade downstream water quality. Define regional stormwater treatment systems for all streams (“treatment trains”).


Consider developing a recycling expansion plan 1


1 A bioblitz is a volunteer-led 24-hour survey of every living thing in a park or natural area. Besides gathering data on plants and animals, it is a great opportunity to educate people and build support for natural resource conservation. Communities that run bioblitzes find to be successful and fun.
