Wednesday, September 07, 2005 Regular Meeting Hall County Regional Planning Commission Staff Contact: Chad Nabity Hall County Regional Planning Commission Agenda Item # 5 PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION: August 18, 2005 SUBJECT: Zoning Change (C-35-2005WR) PROPOSAL: To rezone the proposed a parcel of ground with an existing house on it west of Cottonwood Street (U.S. Highway 11) north of U.S. Highway 30 from I1- Light Industrial District to R9-Low Density Residential District, in the jurisdiction of the City of Wood River. OVERVIEW: Site Analysis Current zoning designation: I1- Light Industrial District Permitted and conditional uses: I1-Commercial, Office, Warehousing, Fabrication and Manufacturing uses. Residential uses are not permitted in this district. . Comprehensive Plan Designation: Commercial/Manufacturing Existing land uses. Single Family Home Adjacent Properties Analysis Current zoning designations: We st: I1- Light Industrial District East and South: BG-General Business District North: R9-Low Density Residential Permitted and conditional uses: R9- Residential uses at a density of 1 dwelling unit per 9000 square feet. BG-General Business including outdoor display and sales, retail uses, Office uses. I1-Commercial, Office, Warehousing, Fabrication and Manufacturing uses. Residential uses are not permitted in this district. Comprehensive Plan Designation: South and East: Commercial West: Light Industrial North: Low Density Residential Existing land uses: North and West: Low Density Residential/Industrial East: General Commercial, mobile homes and Single family development South: Commercial/Industrial Development EVALUATION: Positive Implications: · In general conformance with the City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan: This area is designated as light industrial within the plan but adjacent properties are planned for residential or commercial development. · Residential is a permitted use in the R9 zone: The existing house would be a permitted use in the R9 zone. · Adjacent to existing property zoned R9: This property is immediately adjacent to property that is zoned R9 and the uses are similar on both properties. Negative Implications: · None foreseen Other This property has been zoned for Manufacturing either I1 or LM since at least 1970. The zoning was not an issue with the owners until recently when the estate has tried to sell the house. If the house is damaged to an extent greater than 50% of its current value it cannot be rebuilt without action by the Wood River City Council. The change to a R9 zone would allow the house to be rebuilt should it become damaged. This will not change any of the current uses of the property. RECOMMENDATION: That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Wood River City Council change the zoning on this site from I1-Light Industrial Zone to R9- Low Density Residential Zone. ___________________ Chad Nabity AICP, Planning Director Item H1 Annexation of land in the S 1/2 NW 1/4 NE 1/4 33-11-09 This application proposes to annex a parcel of land located in the S 1/2 NW 1/4 NE 1/4 33-11- 09 into the Grand Island City Limits Wednesday, September 07, 2005 Regular Meeting Hall County Regional Planning Commission Staff Contact: Chad Nabity Hall County Regional Planning Commission Agenda Item # 4 PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION: August 16, 2005 SUBJECT: Annexation of Properties PROPOSAL: To annex properties as shown on the attached annexation plan.

Regulations governing municipal annexation were implemented in order to develop an equitable system for adding to and increasing city boundaries as urban growth occurs. Areas of the community that are urban in nature, and are contiguous to existing boundaries, are appropriate for consideration of annexation. Annexation of urban areas adjacent to existing city boundaries can be driven by many factors. The following are reasons annexation should be considered: 1. Governing urban areas with the statutorily created urban form of government, municipalities have historically been charged with meeting the needs of the expanded community. 2. Provide municipal services. Municipalities are created to provide the governmental services essential for sound urban development and for the protection of health, safety and well being of residents in areas that are used primarily for residential, industrial, and commercial purposes. 3. Ensure orderly growth pursuant to land use, building, street, sidewalk, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water, and electrical services. 4. Provide more equitable taxation to existing property owners for the urban services and facilities that non-city residents in proposed annexation areas use on a regular basis such as parks, streets, public infrastructure, emergency services, retail businesses and associated support. 5. Ensure ability to impose and consistently enforce planning processes and policies. 6. Address housing standards and code compliance to positively impact quality of life for residents. 7. Enable residents of urban areas adjacent to city to participate in municipal issues, including elections that either do or will have an impact on their properties. 8. Anticipate and allocate resources for infrastructure improvements. Specifically, changes in October, 1999 to Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality Regulation Title 124 concerning on site waste water treatment systems impacts new and replacement private septic systems. 9. Assist in population growth to enable community to reach Community Development Block Grant entitlement status – 50,000. Entitlement communities automatically receive Community Development block grant dollars; no competitive process required. 10. Increase number of street or lane miles while increasing gas tax dollars received from the Nebraska Department of Roads. 11. Provide long term visioning abilities as it relates to growth and provision of services. Other Factors Annexation of adjacent properties can also be considered upon the request of the owner(s) of the property. Frederick J. and Charlotte J. Becker have requested that the City annex their property in the SE ¼ of the NE ¼ of 25-11-10. It is anticipated that this property will develop for commercial purposes in the near future. Beverly Healthcare Lakeview at 1405 W. U.S. Highway 34 is expanding their building and services and will be building onto the property south of their current location. They have requested that this property be annexed into the City of Grand Island. A comprehensive inventory of services and facilities, relative to the types and level of services currently being provided as well as the types of level of services anticipated as a result of annexation, has been developed. The inventory includes general information concerning: · Existing infrastructure in affected area(s) · Summary of expenditures to extend existing infrastructure · Summary of operating expenditures associated with increased services · Emergency services The service plan incorporates detailed elements of the inventory. The inventory and resulting service plan should be the basis for discussions concerning each specific area identified for potential annexation. It should be noted that the capital improvements to existing infrastructure and extending services will take place over a period of time in order to ensure adequate time for planning, designing, funding and constructing such a sizable number of projects while protecting the financial integrity of the City’s enterprise funds. The service plan provides for extending the trunk water and sanitary sewer lines to the annexed area. Individual property owners will be responsible for the cost of extending services through neighborhoods and for connecting their properties to the public systems.
