Council Agenda Memo
From:Regional Planning Commission
Meeting:October 11, 2022
Subject:Change of Zoning from R2 Low Density Residential
Zone to RD Residential Development Zone and CD
Commercial Development Zone
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity AICP, Regional Planning Director
Background
Innate Development 2 LLC. The owners of 200 acres located north of Husker Highway
and west of Prairieview Street are requesting that the zoning on property be changed on a
portion of this property from R2 Low Density Residential to RD Residential
Development Zone and Commercial Development Zone. The proposal is to build 150
units of three story apartments in 10 unit buildings along with 4 carriage house
apartments the Residential Development portion of this property. In the Commercial
Development Zone they have plans for a small commercial node to serve the
neighborhood. Plans for the commercial node are not solid yet and will require additional
approvals by the Planning Commission and Council but at this time include a sports bar,
ice cream shop and coffee house. A preliminary plat for the whole development was
approved in 2021. A final plat for this second phase (20.109 acres and 23 lots and 10
outlots )of the development is also included for approval.
Discussion
At the regular meeting of the Regional Planning Commission, held September 7, 2022
the above item was considered following a public hearing.
O’Neill opened the public hearing for the rezoning. O’Neill also opened the item
# 5 public hearing for Redevelopment Plan Area #33.
Nabity stated this is the next phase of Legacy 34 subdivision and is consistent
with the preliminary plat that was approved in October 2021. Developers are
moving forward with the next phase which involves rezoning the property from
R2 to CD. The developers are proposing 154 units of housing. The request is
consistent with the plan that was presented last year. Innate Development has
also requested Tax Increment Financing to aid in the redevelopment of the
project. This project is consistent with the proposed zoning and the future land use
Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 4 / 210
plan for the area within the City of Grand Island. The Planning Commission finds
that the redevelopment plan is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

Agenda Item #4
PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING
COMMISSION:
August 29, 2022
SUBJECT:Zoning Change (C-35-2022GI)
PROPOSAL:An application has been made to rezone 20.109 acres of property
proposed for platting as part of the Legacy 34 development located west of Prairie View
Street and north of Husker Highway from R2 Low Density Residential Zone to RD
Residential Development Zone and CD Commercial Development Zone. The developers
are proposing to build fifteen apartment buildings (150 units) on the property with
buildings as shown on the attached plans, four carriage houses and four commercial
buildings including a civic center to support the neighborhood.. This is the second
change of several that are proposed for the full 200 acre site as shown with the
preliminary plat for the whole property.
OVERVIEW:
Site Analysis
Current zoning designation:R2- Low Density Residential Zone
Permitted and conditional uses:R2: Residential uses with a density of 1 unit per
6,000 square feet of property. Minimum lot size
of 6,000 square feet. Churches, schools, parks
are permitted in this zoning district.
Comprehensive Plan Designation:Low to Medium Density Residential proposed as
Mixed Use Commercial
Existing land uses.Vacant Undeveloped Property
Adjacent Properties Analysis
Current zoning designations:North: R2- Low Density Residential Zone
East: B2 General Business Zone and RD
Residential Development Zone
West: RD Residential Development Zone
South: TA Transitional Agricultural Zone and RO
Residential Office Zone
Permitted and conditional uses:R2- Residential uses with a density of 1 unit per
6,000 square feet of property. Minimum lot size of
6,000 square feet. Churches, schools, parks are
permitted in this zoning district
Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 6 / 210
RD- Residential uses as approved by the submitted
plan with density up to 42 units per acre.
Churches, schools, parks and retirement facilities
are also permitted in this district. Can allow more
than one principle use per lot and development of
private streets and utilities.
TA - Permits both farm and non-farm dwellings at a
maximum density of two dwelling units per acre, as
well as other open space and recreational activities.
The intent of the zoning district also would allow the
raising of livestock to a limit and within certain
density requirements.
B2 - The intent of this zoning district is to provide
for the service, retail and wholesale needs of the
general community. This zoning district will contain
uses that have users and traffic from all areas of
the community and trade areas, and therefore will
have close proximity to the major traffic corridors of
the City. Residential uses are permitted at the
density of the (R-4) High Density Residential
Zoning District.
RO: The intent of this zoning district is to provide
the highest density of residential uses as well as for
various office, personal services and professional
uses. This zoning district is also used as a
transitional zone between lower density residential
zones and business or manufacturing zones.
Comprehensive Plan Designation:West, East, South and North: Mixed Use
Commercial
Existing land uses:North, and South: Agricultural/ Vacant
East: Multifamily Residential and Commercial Lots
some are developed some are vacant.
West: Multi-Family Residential and vacant property
EVALUATION:
Positive Implications:
In conformance with the City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan: This particular site is
designated for mixed use commercial uses within the plan. This would typically be a
combination of commercial and multi-family residential.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 7 / 210
New Housing Choices in Southwestern Grand Island: Most of the new construction
in Grand Island occurs in the northwest part of the city. This proposed development
would build 154 new units in the southwestern part of the city.
Infill Development: Most of the existing infrastructure is in place to support this
development. Sewer and water are available. The developer is proposing a
combination of private and public streets to support this development.
Provides Housing for Grand Island Residents and potential workers near the newly
developed Hospital.
Develops a neighborhood commercial node to support this development and the
hospital development to the south.
Negative Implications:
Increased Traffic on Husker Highway: Development of this full 200 acres is likely
to increase traffic on Husker Highway. The emphasis on walkability in this
subdivision and Hike Bike Trail connection to the Hospital area may help mitigate
vehicular traffic by allowing for multiple modes of transportation.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Grand Island City
Council change the zoning on this site from R2-Low Density Residential Zone to RD-
Residential Development Zone and CD Commercial Development Zone.

and West of Prairie View Street Subdivision (Innate Development
LLC)
Council action will take place under Resolutions item I-1.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Chad Nabity, AICP
Meeting:October 11, 2022
Subject:Site Specific Redevelopment Plan for CRA Area #33
Innate Development LLC – Millennial Estates
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity, AICP CRA Director
Background
Innate Development LLC is proposing to develop property north of Husker Highway and
west of Prairieview Street for residential and commercial uses. They are proposing 154
units of housing and a small neighborhood commercial area. The property is currently
zoned R2 Low Density Residential consists of unplatted property that they are proposing
to develop as Legacy 34 Second Subdivision; rezoning it to RD Residential Development
Zone and CD Commercial Development Zone. Staff has prepared a redevelopment plan
for this property consistent with the TIF application.
The CRA reviewed the proposed development plan on August 10, 2022 and forwarded it
to the Hall County Regional Planning Commission for recommendation at their meeting
on September 7, 2022. The CRA also sent notification to the City Clerk of their intent to
enter into a redevelopment contract for this project pending Council approval of the plan
amendment.
The Hall County Regional Planning Commission held a public hearing on the plan
amendment at a meeting on September 7, 2022. The Planning Commission approved
Resolution 2022-12 in support of the proposed amendment, declaring the proposed
amendment to be consistent with the Comprehensive Development Plan for the City of
Grand Island. The CRA approved Resolution 403 forwarding the redevelopment plan
along with the recommendation of the planning commission to the City Council for
consideration.
Discussion
Tonight, Council will hold a public hearing to take testimony on the proposed plan
(including the cost benefit analysis that was performed regarding this proposed project)
Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 11 / 210
and to enter into the record a copy of the plan amendment that would authorize a
redevelopment contract under consideration by the CRA.
Council is being asked to approve a resolution approving the cost benefit analysis as
presented in the redevelopment plan along with the amended redevelopment plan for
CRA Area #33 and authorizes the CRA to execute a contract for TIF based on the plan
amendment and to find that this project would not be financially feasible at this location
without the use of TIF. The redevelopment plan amendment specifies that the TIF will
be used to offset allowed costs for the acquisition of the property as well as the site work,
grading, streets, utilities, and trails. The cost benefit analysis included in the plan finds
that this project meets the statutory requirements for as eligible TIF project and that it
will not negatively impact existing services within the community or shift additional
costs onto the current residents of Grand Island and the impacted school districts. The
bond for this project will be issued for a period of 15 years. The proposed bond for this
project will be issued for the amount of $9,839,089.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve the resolution
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
The CRA and Hall County Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Council
approve the Resolution necessary for the adoption and implementation of this plan.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the resolution as submitted.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 12 / 210
Redevelopment Plan Amendment
Grand Island CRA Area 33
Amended August 2022 for Legacy 34 2023
The Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) of the City of Grand Island
intends to amend the Redevelopment Plan for Area 33 with in the city, pursuant to
the Nebraska Community Development Law (the “Act”) and provide for the
financing of a specific infrastructure related project in Area 33.
Executive Summary:
Project Description
THE REDEVELOPMENT APPROXIMATELY 200 ACRES OF PROPERTY
LOCATED WEST OF PRAIRIEVIEW STREET AND NORTH OF HUSKER
HIGHWAY IN SOUTHWESTST GRAND ISLAND FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
WALKABLE MIXED USE COMMUNITY (DETACHED SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL, ATTACHED SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, MULTIFAMILY
RESIDENTIAL, NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE COMMERICAL, AND
RECREATIONAL USES) WHILE PROTECTING PRESERVING AND ENHANCING
THE NATURAL WETLANDS ON THE PROPERTY. THIS WILL BE A MULTI-
PHASE DEVELOPMENT WITH A REDEVELOPEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT FOR
EACH PHASE OF THE DEVELOPMENT TO BE APPROVED SEPARATELY.
This is a site specific plan for 14.08 acres and the second phase of this development to be
referred to as Legacy 34 2023. The Legacy 34 2023 project is located directly east of the
Legacy 34 2022 project and will include civic, commercial multifamily residential single
family residential and recreational uses. Amenities for the neighborhood and community
including hike bike trail extensions, civic center building and green space will also be a
part of the Legacy 34 2023 phase of this development.
The use of Tax Increment Financing to aid in redevelopment expenses associated with
platting and installing the necessary infrastructure (streets, sanitary sewer, water, and
storm sewer) for the development of a 7000 square foot civic building, 150 units of
apartments in 10 unit buildings, 4 carriage houses and about 11,000 square foot of
commercial space planned for a sports bar, ice cream shop and coffee shop. The use of
Tax Increment Financing is an integral part of the development plan and necessary to
make this project feasible as presented this was anticipated with the approval of the
general development plan for this property in 2022. The proposed development does not
maximize the number of units that can be built on the property but maximizes the
livability of the neighborhood by creating a walkable neighborhood with a mix of
housing types and recreation features scattered throughout the development. It is
anticipated that the Legacy 34 2023 phase of this development will take up to 6 years to
complete and that the next phase will likely begin before the last of this one has been
developed.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 13 / 210
Innate Development 2, LLC has purchased the full 200 acres that will encompass this
development. The property was annexed in 2011.The developer is responsible for and has
provided evidence that they can secure adequate debt financing to cover the costs
associated with this project. The Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority
(CRA) intends to pledge the ad valorem taxes generated over multiple 15 year periods
beginning January 1, 2024 towards the allowable costs and associated financing for
redevelopment of this property.
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING TO PAY FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE
PROPERTY WILL COME FROM THE FOLLOWING REAL PROPERTY:
Property Description (the “Redevelopment Project Area”)
Legal Descriptions: Property to be platted as Legacy 34 Second Subdivision in the SE
¼ of the NW ¼ and the E ½ of the SW ¼ and the W ½ of the SE ¼ of 25-11-10 (Parcels
400201089 and 400201097) in the City of Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 14 / 210
Existing Land Use and Subject Property
Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 15 / 210
The tax increment on Legacy 34 2023 will be captured for the tax years the
payments for which become delinquent in years 2024 through 2046 inclusive. The
TIF contract will be structured so it can be amended each year for up to six years to
add the buildings to be completed during that year. No single building will be
eligible for TIF for a period of more than 15 years.
The real property ad valorem taxes on the current valuation will continue to be paid
to the normal taxing entities. The increase will come from development of the
property for a mix of residential and commercial uses in the project area to be
permitted as the project progresses.
Statutory Pledge of Taxes.
In accordance with Section 18-2147 of the Act and the terms of the Resolution
providing for the issuance of the TIF Note, the Authority hereby provides that any ad
valorem tax on the Redevelopment Project Area for the benefit of any public body be
divided for a period of fifteen years after the effective date of this provision as set forth in
the Redevelopment Contract or redevelopment contract amendment, consistent with this
Redevelopment Plan. The general plan approved in 2021 anticipated that the whole 200
acre project will be developed in several phases with a redevelopment plan amendment
specific to each phase of the development. This is the second of the proposed phases and
should be referred to as Legacy 34 2023. The Legacy 34 2023 plan anticipates that
buildings constructed each year of the development will constitute new effective date for
the purposes of determining the period of fifteen years. Improvements for the overall
development may be constructed prior to the development of later phases and eligible
expenses from those improvements not covered by early phases may be applied to later
phases for reimbursement by TIF funds generated in the later phases. Said taxes shall be
divided as follows:
a. That portion of the ad valorem tax which is produced by levy at the rate
fixed each year by or for each public body upon the redevelopment project valuation shall
be paid into the funds, of each such public body in the same proportion as all other taxes
collected by or for the bodies; and
b. That portion of the ad valorem tax on real property in the
redevelopment project in excess of such amount, if any, shall be allocated to and, when
collected, paid into a special fund of the Authority to pay the principal of; the interest on,
and any premiums due in connection with the bonds, loans, notes, or advances on money
to, or indebtedness incurred by, whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise,such
Authority for financing or refinancing, in whole or in part, a redevelopment project.
When such bonds, loans, notes, advances of money, or indebtedness including interest
and premium due have been paid, the Authority shall so notify the County Assessor and
County Treasurer and all ad valorem taxes upon real property in such redevelopment
project shall be paid into the funds of the respective public bodies.
Pursuant to Section 18-2150 of the Act, the ad valorem tax so divided is hereby pledged
to the repayment of loans or advances of money, or the incurring of any indebtedness,
Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 16 / 210
whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise, by the CRA to finance or refinance, in
whole or in part, the redevelopment project, including the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on such bonds, loans, notes, advances, or indebtedness.
Redevelopment Plan Amendment Complies with the Act:
The Community Development Law requires that a Redevelopment Plan and Project
consider and comply with a number of requirements. This Plan Amendment meets the
statutory qualifications as set forth below.
1. The Redevelopment Project Area has been declared blighted and substandard by
action of the Grand Island City Council on August 26, 2021.[§18-2109] Such
declaration was made after a public hearing with full compliance with the public
notice requirements of §18-2115 of the Act.
2. Conformation to the General Plan for the Municipality as a whole. [§18-2103 (13)
(a) and §18-2110]
Grand Island adopted a Comprehensive Plan on July 13, 2004 and has maintained and
amended it since that time. Changes to future land use map in the Grand Island
Comprehensive Plan for this project were approved in 2021 with Legacy 34 2022. This
phase of the project including the multifamily, single family residential, commercial and
civic space is consistent with the planned development for this area shown on the future
landuse map as mixed use commercial. The Hall County Regional Planning Commission
held a public hearing at their meeting on September 7, 2022 and passed Resolution 2022-
13 confirming that this project is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the City of
Grand Island. The Grand Island Public School District has submitted a formal request to
the Grand Island CRA to notify the District any time a TIF project involving a housing
subdivision and/or apartment complex is proposed within the District. The school district
was notified of this plan amendment prior to it being submitted to the CRA for initial
consideration.
3. The Redevelopment Plan must be sufficiently complete to address the following
items: [§18-2103(13) (b)]
a. Land Acquisition:
This Redevelopment Plan for Area 33 provides for real property acquisition and this plan
amendment does not prohibit such acquisition. There is no proposed acquisition by the
authority.
b. Demolition and Removal of Structures:
The project to be implemented with this plan does not provide for the demolition and
removal any structures on this property.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 17 / 210
c. Future Land Use Plan
See the attached map from the 2004 Grand Island Comprehensive Plan. The future land
use map for the 2004 plan was amended in 2021 to show the southern portion of this 200
acres as planned for mixed use commercial. Legacy 34 2023 is within the portion
planned for mixed use development. This property is in private ownership. [§18-2103(b)
and §18-2111] The general plan approved in 2022 anticipated development of 278 single
family detached lots, 25 duplex lots, 53 townhouse/condo lots, 300 units of apartments
and 6.3 acres of retail and 9 acres of light industrial backing on to the industrial property
to the north across the entire 200 acres. The development of this 14 acres is consistent
with that original plan. [§18-2111(5)]
d. Changes to zoning, street layouts and grades or building codes or ordinances or
other Planning changes.
The area is zoned R-2 Low Density Residential zone and M-1 Light Manufacturing Zone.
The property has historically been farmed a permitted use in both of those districts. The
plan for a mixed use neighborhood at this location will require a mix of zoning changes.
New streets and storm drainage are planned throughout the site as part of the
development in a manner consistent with the existing development. It is anticipated that
TIF revenues will offset the costs of those improvements and that some of these
improvements may be built. No changes are anticipated in building codes or ordinances.
[§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
e. Site Coverage and Intensity of Use
The proposed development will meet the coverage and intensity of use requirements for
each phase of the development as it is approved. The overall planned density of the
project is less than would be permitted with no changes. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
f. Additional Public Facilities or Utilities
Sanitary sewer and water are available to support this development. Both sanitary sewer
and water will need to be extended throughout the site. TIF revenues will be used to
offset the cost of these public utility improvements.
Electric utilities are sufficient for the proposed use of this property. Electric lines will
need to be extended throughout the property.
No other publicly owned utilities would be impacted by the development. §18-2103(b)
and §18-2111]

4. The Act requires a Redevelopment Plan provide for relocation of individuals and
families displaced as a result of plan implementation. This property is vacant and
no relocation is contemplated or necessary. [§18-2103.02]
5. No member of the Authority, nor any employee thereof holds any interest in any
property in this Redevelopment Project Area. [§18-2106] No members of the
authority or staff of the CRA have any interest in this property.
6. Section 18-2114 of the Act requires that the Authority consider:
a. Method and cost of acquisition and preparation for redevelopment and estimated
proceeds from disposal to redevelopers.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 20 / 210
The developer has purchased this property and proposing to use $220,000 of that
purchase price as an eligible expense attributed to the Legacy 34 2023 project. For the
Legacy 34 2023 phase the estimated costs of utilities including sanitary sewer, water,
storm sewer, electric and gas is $1,666,875. Site work and grading is expected to cost
$2,612,000. Total cost for paving of public and private streets, public parking, sidewalks
and trails is $3,940,214. It is anticipated that planning activities including design,
engineering and architecture for the site will be at least $1,300,000 and need to be
included in Legacy 34 2022 project costs. Other eligible activities including government
fees and expenses and legal and contract expenses are expected to be $100,000. The total
of the eligible expenses for this project is estimated by the developer at $9,839,089.
No property will be transferred to redevelopers by the Authority. The developer will
provide and secure all necessary financing.
b. Statement of proposed method of financing the redevelopment project.
The developer will provide all necessary financing for the project. The Authority will
assist the Legacy 34 2022 project by granting the sum of $9,839,089 from the proceeds of
the TIF. This indebtedness will be repaid from the Tax Increment Revenues generated
from the project. TIF revenues shall be made available to repay the original debt and
associated interest after January 1, 2024 through December 2046.
c. Statement of feasible method of relocating displaced families.
No families will be displaced as a result of this plan.
7. Section 18-2113 of the Act requires:
Prior to recommending a redevelopment plan to the governing body for approval, an
authority shall consider whether the proposed land uses and building requirements in the
redevelopment project area are designed with the general purpose of accomplishing, in
conformance with the general plan, a coordinated, adjusted, and harmonious development
of the city and its environs which will, in accordance with present and future needs,
promote health, safety, morals, order, convenience, prosperity, and the general welfare, as
well as efficiency and economy in the process of development, including, among other
things, adequate provision for traffic, vehicular parking, the promotion of safety from
fire, panic, and other dangers, adequate provision for light and air, the promotion of the
healthful and convenient distribution of population, the provision of adequate
transportation, water, sewerage, and other public utilities, schools, parks, recreational and
community facilities, and other public requirements, the promotion of sound design and
arrangement, the wise and efficient expenditure of public funds, and the prevention of the
recurrence of insanitary or unsafe dwelling accommodations or conditions of blight.
The Authority has considered these elements in proposing this Plan. This amendment, in
and of itself will promote consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. This will have the
intended result of preventing recurring elements of unsafe buildings and blighting
Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 21 / 210
conditions. This will accomplish the goal of increasing the number of residential units,
commercial development and recreational opportunities within the City of Grand Island
and encouraging infill development.
8. Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to begin in the 2022 year. The Legacy 34 2023
phase will likely be built over a six year period between 2022 and 2028 based on market
demand. Excess valuation should be available for the Legacy 34 2023 project for 15
years beginning with the 2024 tax year. Additional phases of development are
anticipated for the remainder of the project. It is anticipated that the developers will be
including TIF in the capital stack of future phases but each future phase will be evaluated
with a site specific redevelopment plan prior to contract approval similar to this one.
9. Justification of Project
The 2020 housing study for the City of Grand Island projected that by 2024 we would
need an additional 1361 new housing units. Between January 1 of 2020 and June of 2022
permits for 547 new housing units had been issued leaving a need for more than 800
additional units in the next 2 years to meet the anticipated need. The current housing
market, a combination of the cost of producing housing and the prevailing wages, has not
created a situation that gives the markets sufficient incentive to build the number housing
units required to meet community needs. This lack of housing options impacts a variety
of other areas within the community including work force development, overcrowding,
maintenance of residential units and rents.
10. Cost Benefit Analysis Section 18-2113 of the Act, further requires the Authority
conduct a cost benefit analysis of the plan amendment in the event that Tax Increment
Financing will be used. This analysis must address specific statutory issues.
As authorized in the Nebraska Community Development Law, §18-2147, Neb. Rev. Stat.
(2019), the City of Grand Island has analyzed the costs and benefits of the proposed
Redevelopment Project, including:
Project Sources and Uses. Approximately $9,839,089 in public funds from tax
increment financing provided by the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority
will be required to complete the project. This investment by the Authority will leverage
$20,332,911 in private sector financing; a private investment of $2.06 for every TIF and
grant dollar investment.

Source of Funds
Tax Revenue. The 14.08 acres of this site to be redeveloped as Legacy 34 2022 is
anticipated to have a January 1, 2022, valuation of approximately $41,325 based on the
per acre valuation of the current parcel. Based on the 2021 levy this would result in a
real property tax of approximately $853. It is anticipated that the assessed value will
increase by $30,172,000 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This
development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $655,939 annually. The tax
increment gained from this Redevelopment Project Area would not be available for use
as city general tax revenues, for the period of the bonds, but would be used for eligible
private redevelopment costs to enable this project to be realized.
Estimated 2023 assessed value (14.08 acres): $ 41,235
Estimated value after completion $ 30,213,235
Increment value $ 30,172,000
Annual TIF generated (estimated) $ 655,939
TIF bond issue $ 9,839,089
Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 23 / 210
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $41,235. The
proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $30,172,000 over the course
of the next six years. The project creates additional valuation that will support taxing
entities long after the project is paid off along with providing 154 additional housing
units, neighborhood commercial space and recreational trail connections and
opportunities. The tax shift from this project will be equal to the total of the bond
principal of $9,839,089 if fully funded and any associated interest on the bond to be
assigned with contract approval.
(b) Public infrastructure and community public service needs impacts and local tax
impacts arising from the approval of the redevelopment project;
Existing water and waste water facilities will not be negatively impacted by this
development. The electric utility has sufficient capacity to support the development.
This is infill development with services connecting to existing line with capacity. This
development is likely to result in a larger number of students in the Gates Elementary
School service area. Fire and police protection are available and should not be negatively
impacted by this development though there will be some increased need for officers and
fire fighters as the City continues to grow whether from this project or others.
Housing of the type proposed in Legacy 34 2023 (1 and 2 bedroom apartments) is
less likely to attract families to the neighborhood than the single family detached housing
proposed for later phases of this project. Overall there will be a net increase in the
number of students attending the Grand Island Public School system as a result of this
development.
(c) Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding within the
boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project;
This will provide additional housing options for the residents of Grand Island. The
National Homebuilders Association estimates that each new single family home is the
equivalent of 2.5 full time equivalent jobs and each unit of multifamily housing results in
an FTE of 1.16 job. An average of 25 apartments and 1 carriage house would produce
about 31 FTE’s per year for the next 6 years plus additional FTE’s for the commercial
space that is proposed.
(d) Impacts on other employers and employees within the city or village and the
immediate area that are located outside of the boundaries of the area of the
redevelopment project; and
This project will not have a negative impact on other employers different from any
other expanding business within the Grand Island area. Grand Island does have tight
labor market and part of that is due to the availability and cost of housing. This
development may help alleviate some of those pressures.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 24 / 210
(e) Impacts on student populations of school districts within the City or Village:
This development will have an impact on the Grand Island School system and
will likely result in additional students at both the elementary and secondary school
levels.
The average number of persons per household in Grand Island for 2015 to 2019
according the American Community Survey is 2.61. 173 additional households would
house 402 people. According to the 2010 census 19.2% of the population of Grand Island
was over 4 years old and under 18 years old. 2020 census number for this population
cohort are not yet available but 27.6% of the 2021 population is less than 18 years of age
this is the same percentage as the under 18 age cohort in 2010. If the averages hold it
would be expected that there would be an additional 77 school age children generated by
this development. Given the nature of the units (150- 1 and 2 bedroom apartments)
proposed for Legacy 34 2023 these numbers are likely to be significantly less than for
detached single family development. If this develops at a rate of 25 unit per year for 6
years approximately 13 children could be added to the school age population every year
with this development. These 13 children will likely be spread over the full school age
population from elementary to secondary school. According to the National Center for
Educational Statistics1 the 2019-20 enrollment for GIPS was 10,070 students and the cost
per student in 2017-18 was $12,351 of that $4,653 is generated locally. The Grand Island
Public School System was notified on August 4, 2022 that the CRA would be considering
this application at their August 10, 2022 meeting.
(f) Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the
consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project.
This project is consistent the goals of the 2020 Housing Study for the City of Grand
Island to create more than 1300 new dwelling units by 2024. Based on the permits
between January of 2020 and June of 2022 there are 547 units of housing that have been
permitted. More than 750 units still need to be built before the end of 2024 to meet the
projected need. The local housing market is not capable of producing the number of units
needed at market rate given the costs of building and development.
Time Frame for Development
Development of the Legacy 34 2023 project is anticipated to be completed during
between the Spring of 2023 and the end of 2028. The base tax year should be calculated
on the value of the property as of January 1, 2023 for the first phase with each phase
based on the preceding year’s valuation of the property included in the amendment for
that year. Excess valuation should be available for this project beginning in 2024 with
taxes due in 2025. Excess valuation will be used to pay the TIF Indebtedness issued by
the CRA per the contract between the CRA and the developer for a period not to exceed
15 years on each property or an amount not to exceed $9,839,089 the projected amount of
increment based upon the anticipated value of the project and current tax rate.

Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 25 / 210
This is the second phase of this development just over 42 acres of the full 200 acres will
be subject to redevelopment contracts upon final approval of this plan and the associated
contracts. It is anticipated that full development of the 200 acre site will take a minimum
of 15 years thought it could take as long as 30 or more based on average development in
Grand Island. Each additional project will be brought forward as an amendment in a
format similar to this amendment.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Chad Nabity, AICP
Meeting:October 11, 2022
Subject:Site Specific Redevelopment Plan for CRA Area #1
Living Waters – 124 W. 3rd Street
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity, AICP CRA Director
Background
Living Waters LLC is proposing to redevelop the building at 124 W. 3rd Street adding 3
upper story apartments to the existing commercial uses. The property is zoned B3 Heavy
Business and is in downtown Grand Island.
The CRA reviewed the proposed development plan on August 10, 2022 and forwarded it
to the Hall County Regional Planning Commission for recommendation at their meeting
on September 7, 2022. The CRA also sent notification to the City Clerk of their intent to
enter into a redevelopment contract for this project pending Council approval of the plan
amendment.
The Hall County Regional Planning Commission held a public hearing on the plan
amendment at a meeting on September 7, 2022. The Planning Commission approved
Resolution 2022-13 in support of the proposed amendment, declaring the proposed
amendment to be consistent with the Comprehensive Development Plan for the City of
Grand Island. The CRA approved Resolution 404 forwarding the redevelopment plan
along with the recommendation of the planning commission to the City Council for
consideration.
Discussion
Tonight, Council will hold a public hearing to take testimony on the proposed plan
(including the cost benefit analysis that was performed regarding this proposed project)
and to enter into the record a copy of the plan amendment that would authorize a
redevelopment contract under consideration by the CRA.
Council is being asked to approve a resolution approving the cost benefit analysis as
presented in the redevelopment plan along with the amended redevelopment plan for
CRA Area #1 and authorizes the CRA to execute a contract for TIF based on the plan
Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 50 / 210
amendment and to find that this project would not be financially feasible at this location
without the use of TIF. The redevelopment plan amendment specifies that the TIF will
be used to offset allowed costs for the acquisition of the property as well renovation. The
cost benefit analysis included in the plan finds that this project meets the statutory
requirements for as eligible TIF project and that it will not negatively impact existing
services within the community or shift additional costs onto the current residents of
Grand Island and the impacted school districts. The bond for this project will be issued
for a period of 15 years. The proposed bond for this project will be issued for the amount
of $123,400.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve the resolution
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
The CRA and Hall County Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Council
approve the Resolution necessary for the adoption and implementation of this plan.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the resolution as submitted.

c. Statement of feasible method of relocating displaced families.
No families will be displaced as a result of this plan.
7. Section 18-2113 of the Act requires:
Prior to recommending a redevelopment plan to the governing body for approval, an
authority shall consider whether the proposed land uses and building requirements in the
redevelopment project area are designed with the general purpose of accomplishing, in
conformance with the general plan, a coordinated, adjusted, and harmonious development
of the city and its environs which will, in accordance with present and future needs,
promote health, safety, morals, order, convenience, prosperity, and the general welfare, as
well as efficiency and economy in the process of development, including, among other
things, adequate provision for traffic, vehicular parking, the promotion of safety from
fire, panic, and other dangers, adequate provision for light and air, the promotion of the
healthful and convenient distribution of population, the provision of adequate
transportation, water, sewerage, and other public utilities, schools, parks, recreational and
community facilities, and other public requirements, the promotion of sound design and
arrangement, the wise and efficient expenditure of public funds, and the prevention of the
recurrence of insanitary or unsafe dwelling accommodations or conditions of blight.
The Authority has considered these elements in proposing this Plan Amendment. This
amendment, in and of itself will promote consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. This
will have the intended result of preventing recurring elements of unsafe buildings and
blighting conditions. This will accomplish the goal of both the Railside Business
Improvement District and the Grand Island City Council of refurbishing street level
commercial space and increasing the number of residential units available in the
Downtown area that has been underutilized for several years.
8. Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed by October 2023. Excess
valuation should be available for this project for 15 years beginning with the 2024 tax
year.
9. Justification of Project
This building in downtown Grand Island was built in 1915 and will be preserved with this
project. The mixed use of commercial space and residential units is consistent with the
long term development plans for Downtown.
10. Cost Benefit Analysis Section 18-2113 of the Act, further requires the Authority
conduct a cost benefit analysis of the plan amendment in the event that Tax Increment
Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 58 / 210
Financing will be used. This analysis must address specific statutory issues.
As authorized in the Nebraska Community Development Law, §18-2147, Neb. Rev. Stat.
(2012), the City of Grand Island has analyzed the costs and benefits of the proposed
Redevelopment Project, including:
Project Sources and Uses. Approximately $123,400 in public funds from tax increment
financing provided by the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority will be
required to complete the project. This investment by the Authority will leverage
$721,465 in private sector financing; a private investment of $5.84 for every TIF dollar
invested.

Legal/ TIF contract $13,500 $13,500
Total $123,400 $721,465 $844,365
Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped is anticipated to have a January 1, 2024,
valuation of approximately $219,769. Based on the 2021 levy this would result in a real
property tax of approximately $4,765. It is anticipated that the assessed value will increase
by $331,326 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This development
will result in an estimated tax increase of over $184,7 annually. The tax increment
gained from this Redevelopment Project Area would not be available for use as city
general tax revenues, for a period of 15 years, or such shorter time as may be required
to amortize the TIF bond, but would be used for eligible private redevelopment costs to
enable this project to be realized.
Estimated 2021 assessed value: $219,769
Estimated value after completion $551,095
Increment value $331,326
Annual TIF generated (estimated)$$7,184
TIF bond issue $123,400
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $219,769. The
proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $331,326. No tax shifts
are anticipated from the project outside of the use of TIF to support the
redevelopment. It is not anticipate that any additional tax burdens will be assumed by
public entities as a result of this project. The project creates additional valuation that
will support taxing entities long after the project is paid off.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 59 / 210
(b) Public infrastructure and community public service needs impacts and local tax
impacts arising from the approval of the redevelopment project;
No additional public service needs have been identified. Existing water and waste
water facilities will not be impacted by this development. The electric utility has
sufficient capacity to support the development. It is not anticipated that this will impact
schools in any significant way. Fire and police protection are available and should not be
negatively impacted by this development. The addition of life safety elements to this
building including fire sprinklers and a second exit actually reduce the chances of
negative impacts to the fire department.
(c) Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding within the
boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project;
This will provide additional residential and commercial space options in the
downtown area consistent with the planned development in Downtown Grand Island.
(d) Impacts on other employers and employees within the city or village and the
immediate area that are located outside of the boundaries of the area of the
redevelopment project; and
This project will not have a negative impact on other employers in any manner
different from any other expanding business within the Grand Island area. This will
provide refurbish Downtown residential and commercial space options for residents
and business owners who wish to relocate to the Downtown area.
(e) Impacts on student populations of school districts within the City or Village:
This development will have a minimal impact on the Grand Island School
system as it will likely not result in any increased attendance. The majority of
the units to be developed with this project is a two bedroom unit and unlikely to
be a family unit, especially for families with school age children.
The average number of persons per household in Grand Island for 2015 to
2019 according the American Community Survey is 2.61. According to the 2010
census 19.2% of the population of Grand Island was between the ages of 5 and 18.
2020 census number for this population cohort are not yet available but 27.6% of
the 2021 population is less than 18 years of age this is the same percentage as the
under 18 age cohort in 2010. If the averages hold it would be expected that there
would be a maximum of one school age child generated by this development
though that is mitigated by the fact that there are 2 small 2 bedroom units and a
single 1 bedroom unit..
(f) Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the
consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project.
This project is consistent the goals of the Council, the Downtown BID, the CRA, and
Grow Grand Island to create additional upgraded residential and commercial spaces
within downtown Grand Island.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 60 / 210
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed October 2023. The base tax
year should be calculated on the value of the property as of January 1, 2024. Excess
valuation should be available for this project for 15 years beginning in 2024 with taxes
due in 2024. Excess valuation will be used to pay the TIF Indebtedness issued by the
CRA per the contract between the CRA and the developer for a period not to exceed 15
years or an amount not to exceed $123,400 the projected amount of increment based
upon the anticipated value of the project and current tax rate. Based on the estimates of
the expenses of the rehabilitation the developer will spend at least $721,465.on TIF
eligible activities in excess of other grants given.

Item F-2
#9903 - Consideration of Approving Salary Ordinance
Staff Contact: Aaron Schmid, Human Resources Director
Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 89 / 210
Council Agenda Memo
From:Robert Falldorf, Police Chief
Meeting:October 11, 2022
Subject:Consideration of Approving Salary Ordinance No. 9903
Presenter(s):Robert Falldorf, Police Chief
Background
The salary ordinance for employees of the City of Grand Island comes before Council
when changes are necessary. The following explains the proposed changes to the salary
ordinance.
Discussion
The Grand Island Police Department is requesting the addition 1.5 FTE civilian Evidence
Technician positions. Prior to September 15, 2022 the Police Department’s Evidence
Division was run by one (1) full time sworn Police Officer and two (2) full time civilian
Evidence Technicians. The Police Department has understood that there would be a
future need to add additional staff to the Evidence Division beyond the three (3) full time
employees that were working the division prior to September 15, 2022. Evidence and
property handling numbers continue to increase and the Evidence Division has seen
significant increases in the need to process video evidence for defense attorneys and
prosecutors. There has also been a significant increase in the need to process mobile
video and body worn camera evidence.
Since the Police Department is so short on Police Officers, the department continued to
make filling the fifteen (15) vacant Police Officer positions the main priority and set
aside, for the time being, pursuing adding additional Evidence Division personnel. That
all changed with the recent resignation of the department’s sworn Officer staff member
assigned to the division. We feel that the timing is right to add 1.5 FTE Civilian Evidence
Tech positons to the division to replace the sworn Officer staff member. We understand
that the timing is not great for this request as we just finished with the 2022-2023 fiscal
year budget; however, the recent resignation of the Officer came as a surprise to all of us
and did not occur until after the recent budget was approved. We also understand that it
would not be prudent to move another sworn officer into the Evidence Division since we
are working so short in our Patrol and Criminal Divisions at this time.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 90 / 210
The Police Department Administration understands that there will be excess unspent
personnel funds left in our budget at the end of the next two fiscal years, as it will take at
least two years to fill all of our vacant Police Officer Positions. We also know that the top
pay for the Officer’s vacancy would be more than enough personnel cost savings to pay
entry level pay for the entire 1.5 FTE Evidence Tech positions we are requesting.
This ordinance would create an Evidence Technician PT classification to allow for hiring
the 0.5 of the 1.5 FTE request. Wages would mirror the wages of the Evidence
Technician FT classification.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve proposed Salary Ordinance
No. 9903.
Sample Motion
Move to approve Salary Ordinance No. 9903.

Meeting:October 11, 2022
Subject:Approving Change Order No. 1 for Lift Station No. 17
Improvements; Project No. 2021-S-9
Presenter(s):Keith Kurz PE, Interim Public Works Director
Background
The Diamond Engineering Company of Grand Island, Nebraska was awarded a
$1,574,703.47 contract on July 26, 2022, via Resolution No. 2022-186, for Lift Station
No. 17 Improvements; Project No. 2019-S-9.
Lift Station No. 17 Improvements; Project No. 2021-S-9 is for the relocation and
construction of a new sanitary sewer lift station that will replace the existing lift station
which is currently located north of the intersection of South Locust Street and Exchange
Road, on the west side of South Locust Street. Due to lack of space, the replacement lift
station would more than likely go on the east side of South Locust Street. Along with a
new lift station, new force main will need to be installed such that the discharge location
will outlet to manhole 287 just east of the existing lift station. Also included will be the
associated paving, sidewalk, traffic control and all other items needed to complete the
project.
Discussion
Change Order No. 1 to the referenced project is being requested to repair sanitary sewer

system that allows the user to perform modeling, survey, and machine control functions.
This system is also critical for guiding equipment operators to properly place waste on a
daily basis for maintaining proper grades for storm water to flow properly. The current
GPS Trimble equipment and software was purchased in 2008 and is in need of
replacement.
Discussion
The City of Grand Island City Council approved the use of the Admin Minnesota
Materials Management with Resolution No. 2013-368.
To meet competitive bidding requirements the Solid Waste Division obtained pricing
from the Admin Minnesota Materials Management Contract No. 171660 awarded to
RDO Integrated Controls of Bloomington, Minnesota. The package to be purchased
includes the MC-8 display, which is simply the main display that the machine operator
uses for daily work; along with Vx7 receiver, receiver and display mounts, all necessary
cables, software, installation and warranty.
The system and software is from a U.S. company with knowledgeable support based in
North America. It will also enable staff to begin archiving daily data in CAD friendly
formats that anyone in the Public Works Department would be able to use and access.
Public Works staff is recommending the purchase of one (1) complete GPS system from
RDO Integrated Controls of Bloomington, Minnesota in the amount of $43,642.75.

#2022-285 - Approving Concurrence of Bid Award to The
Diamond Engineering Company for Five Points Intersection
Improvements
Staff Contact: Keith Kurz PE, Interim Public Works Director
Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 163 / 210
Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz PE, Interim Public Works Director
Meeting:October 11, 2022
Subject:Approving Concurrence of Bid Award to The Diamond
Engineering Company for Five Points Intersection
Improvements
Presenter(s):Keith Kurz PE, Interim Public Works Director
Background
On February 14, 2017, via Resolution No. 2017-34, City Council approved an agreement
with Olsson Associates of Lincoln, Nebraska, in the amount of $72,550.00 for
engineering services related to Five Points Signal and Geometric Improvements. This
project was for the improvement of the 5 Points intersection in areas of both lane use and
traffic signal operation. The existing cable span signals were to be replaced with new
mast arm signals, improvement of existing roadway geometrics, evaluation of existing
lane configurations for operation, and installation of signing improvements to meet 2009
MUTCD requirements in the area of this intersection.
During the course of Olsson Associates engineering services work on this project it was
recommended that a study of the entire area surrounding the 5 Points intersection be
considered. Further study allowed for examination of the Five Points intersection to aid in
specifically reducing the incidence of crashes; reducing vehicle delay, improving the
mobility of the traveling pedestrians and correcting roadway geometric deficiencies.
Public Works applied for Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) safety funds
to help with costs of the 5 Points intersection improvements. The project was selected as
a NDOT safety project, with Federal-aid funding available through NDOT. The federal
share payable on any portion of a local federal-aid project is a maximum of 80% of the
eligible participating costs, while the Local Public Agency (LPA) is responsible for the
remaining 20% as well as all other nonparticipating or ineligible costs of the project. The
estimate of this project was $2,265,300.00, with the LPA share being $565,300.00, and
the Federal share payable capped at $1,700,000.00.
Such project consists of geometric improvements with a multi-lane roundabout and will
right size the lane configuration to optimize safety and efficiency, and meet the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) safety program requirements.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 164 / 210
On April 27, 2021, via Resolution No. 2021-97 City Council approved Program
Agreement Supplement No. 1, which increased the Federal funding cap from
$1,700,000.00 to $2,640,000.00, with the funding split of 80% federal Highway Safety
Improvements Project (HSIP) funding and 20% match from the Local Public Agency
(LPA).
Discussion
As specified in the Program Agreement with NDOT, the State advertised and conducted
the letting for this project. Three (3) bids were received and opened on September 29,
2022. The bids were submitted in compliance with the contract, plans and specifications
and summarized below.

Council Agenda Memo
From:Keith Kurz PE, Interim Public Works Director
Meeting:October 11, 2022
Subject:Approving Program Agreement with NDOT for
Broadwell Avenue Grade Separation
Presenter(s):Keith Kurz PE, Interim Public Works Director
Background
Continuing to explore ways to accommodate the growing traffic within the city, Public
Works Engineering staff completed a feasibility study for a grade separation structure
with the UPRR to be located at or around the existing Broadwell Avenue crossing north
of 3rd Street. The study was necessary for the city to submit to the Nebraska Department
of Transportation (NDOT) in order to secure potential federal funding for assistance in
building a grade separation in this area. Without the study, additional funding sources
could not be secured. A Concept Design Report for Broadwell Avenue Grade Separation
across the UPRR Tracks was done in 2004 and was used as the starting point for this
study.
On November 20, 2018, via Resolution No. 2018-350, City Council approved an
agreement for engineering consulting services related to Broadwell Avenue & UPRR
Grade Separation Study with HDR, Inc. of Omaha, Nebraska in the amount of
$226,660.00.
On June 25, 2019, via Resolution No. 2019-195, City Council approved an amendment to
the original agreement with HDR, Inc. in the amount of $185,123.00 to allow for an in
depth environmental review, a Planning and Environmental Linkages Study (PEL) that
was beyond the scope originally developed for this project. Amendment No. 1 resulted in
a revised agreement amount of $411,783.00.
Discussion
Public Works applied for Federal-aid funds that are available for transportation projects
on eligible routes within the jurisdiction of the Local Public Agency (LPA) for a grade
separation near the existing Broadwell Avenue UPRR crossing, north of 3rd Street. The
project was selected as a NDOT grade separation/railroad safety improvement project,
with Federal-aid funding available through NDOT.
Grand Island Council Session - 10/11/2022 Page 169 / 210
The total cost of the project is currently estimated at $34,210,000.00, which is detailed
below.
Preliminary Engineering $ 3,190,000
ROW $ 1,720,000
Construction Engineering $ 2,660,000
Utilities $ 480,000
Construction $26,160,000
Total Estimated Project Costs =$34,210,000
The federal share payable on any portion of a local federal-aid project is a maximum of
80% of the eligible participating costs, while the Local Public Agency (LPA) is
responsible for the remaining 20% as well as all other nonparticipating or ineligible costs
of the project. The current estimate of this project is $34,210,000.00, with the LPA share
being $6,872,000.00 at this time.

Locations Drainage Projects; Brookline Drive and Henry Street/South Street Intersection;
Project No. 2021-D-1.
One project is improving drainage along Brookline Drive. City staff looked at several
options, but constructing a concrete curb and gutter street appears to be the best
alternative.
The other project is paving the intersection of Henry Street and South Street. With the
heavy truck traffic and large amounts of water drainage from the north, this appears to be
the preferred option to fix drainage problems.
Discussion
Due to concrete shortages The Diamond Engineering Company has requested a time
extension to complete Various Locations Drainage Projects; Brookline Drive and Henry
Street/South Street Intersection; Project No. 2021-D-1.
Original completion date was set at October 15, 2022, with the request to extend this to
