摘要

As a first step in an innovative preservation project, the character of the North Side neighborhood of Iowa City, Iowa, was documented through onsite observations and land record data. City officials previously have been ambiguous in their attitudes toward the area and as a result, new apartment buildings entirely out of character with the older homes are scattered throughout the neighborhood in a way that suggests intentional dispersal. About half the land is used by highways, streets, and parking lots, most serving nonresidents. Restriction of transportation land uses is a high priority need. Average parcel size is about 6,000 square feet and parcel densities range from a low of 4 dwelling units to the acre for single - family homes on large lots to about 50 dwelling units to the acre for apartment units. Frequently these densities are found in the same block. A map shows that densities are higher near the University of Iowa, Mercy Hospital, and downtown. Nonresidential and commercial uses are sprinkled rather than clustered in the area. However, most of these businesses are small and neighborhood - oriented. Home ownership also is sprinkled throughout the area, with the highest concentration in the northeast section. In spite of the neighborhood's problems, high homeowner confidence exists and property turnover is steady. There is no evidence of speculation or panic selling. The area's strengths are its variety of architectural styles, its mix of ages and family structures, and small restaurants and stores within walking distance.
