Here's the page on the city website with the info, including a link to the actual RFP at the bottom. It seems a little less restrictive than the previous one, although not by too much. There are some restrictions that are made by an agreement with the nearby Grace Evangelical Free Church, and also this quote:
The City welcomes proposals that integrate office or residential uses into the proposed commercial development. Industrial uses, however, such as warehouses, automobile repair facilities, manufacturing or storage facilities are neither desired nor allowed within the Prairie Heights Neighborhood development.So I'm guessing the carwash that riled up some folks over in Bettendorf a while back need not apply either. I wonder about tatoo parlors... Seriously though, this should really be prime land someday, so I do like that the city doesn't just want it to become a junky strip mall or gas station. That said, the spec building across 53rd from the site doesn't seem to be filling up all that fast. It will be interesting to see what kind of proposals come in this time.

Tattoo parlors up there will upset Cruiser's bunch. Tattoo parlors will attract the evil skateboarders into their clean neighborhoods. Next thing you know, hot rod hooligans will move in.
BTW, have you been on River Dr since the snow fall? All that fear about snow removal seems to be moot. Never had problems with all those medians in others parts of Davenport.
How is your "professional council" doing, Images?
Um... fine? They seem to have an annoying penchant for tearing down historic homes, but they're keeping it mostly professional. Unlike former Alderman VanFossen who will soon be heading to prison, from the sound of it.
A little wisor huh?
