Chairman O’Neill opened the above mentioned public meeting. Nabity
presented. Nabity explained that this plan is based on the one prepared
by Hanna:Keelan Associates as part of the blight study. Changes were
made to the plan by the CRA staff due to changes in zoning of the
property approved by the City Council in March of 2007. Updates were
also made by the CRA staff to the generalized costs for public
improvements based on estimates provided by city staff. Nabity stated
that this study does not specifically approve any TIF projects but does
outline the types of activities that could be considered for Tax Increment
Financing in this redevelopment area. These activities focus on public
improvements to utility, drainage and transportation infrastructure. Any
applications for TIF on these properties would be subject to specific
approval by the CRA and City Council and recommendation of the
Planning Commission. The Planning Commission will be examining this
Redevelopment Plan for conformance to the Comprehensive Plan for the
City. The current zoning for the majority of the property included within
the plan is for manufacturing uses and the future land use show that this
property is expected to develop with manufacturing uses. Nabity went on
to explain the process for the approval of the redevelopment plan as
follows:
1) CRA sends the plan to the Planning Commission for Review and
Recommendation
2) Planning Commission has 30 days to hold a public hearing and review
the plan for consistency with the City’s comprehensive plan and make a
recommendation back to the CRA
3) CRA approves/adopts the plan by Resolution and forwards the plan to
Council for final approval
4) City Council holds a Public Hearing and approves the plan by resolution
Nabity stated that the staff is recommending that the Hall County Regional
Planning Commission recommend approval of this redevelopment plan.
Findings relative to conformance with the Grand Island Comprehensive
Plan should be included in the recommendation.
A brief discussion was held regarding being consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan, funding sources and the relocation of residents.
Chairman O’Neill closed the public meeting.
A motion was made by Ruge, and seconded by Hayes, to recommend the
approval of the generalized redevelopment plan for CRA Area #7 in the City of
Grand Island, Nebraska as presented. Findings, relative to conformance with
the Grand Island Comprehensive Plan, are as follows: 1)Consistency with
Comprehensive Plan 2)Consistency with Future Land Use Map 3)Meeting the
qualifications as defined by State Statute.
A roll call vote was taken and the motion passed with 10 members present
(Miller, Amick, O’Neill, Ruge, Hayes, Reynolds, Haskins, Eriksen, Bredthauer,
Heineman) voting in favor.

Centura Hills East Subdivision from R9 Single Family Residential to R6 Multiple
Family Residential. This land is located north of Birdie Boulevard and West of
130th Road. (C-3-2008C)
Chairman O’Neill opened the above mentioned Public Meeting. Nabity
reported that this change of zoning is largely consistent with the City’s
Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The property is designated for single
family development and recreational uses. This change would allow
duplex type development and some mixed housing types at this edge of
the development. He stated that water and sewer services are available
to service the area. This development will provide additional residential
opportunities in the Village of Cairo. The preliminary plat for this project
was approved by the Hall County Regional Planning Commission and the
Cairo Village Board in April of 2005. This property has been annexed into
the Cairo Village limits. Nabity stated that staff would recommend that the
Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Village Board of
Cairo change the zoning on this site from R9 Single Family Residential to
R6 Multiple Family Residential.
Chairman O’Neill closed the public meeting.
A motion was made by Hayes and seconded by Bredthauer, to recommend that

Family Residential to R6 Multiple Family Residential, to the official Zoning Map
for the Village of Cairo.

stated he anticipates that a draft of the Hazard Mitigation Plan should be ready in
about six weeks. Nabity continued stating the Corps of Engineers will be out to
do additional elevation measurements the last week of this month. In answer to
a concern raised by Amick, Nabity stated that if a property has previously been
taken out of the flood plane by letter, that determination should be reinstated. A
community meeting regarding the proposed new flood maps will be held on
October 24, 2007 at 3:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers. This will be both a
presentation and comment meeting. Most likely the adoption of these much
improved flood maps will need to take place in April or May of 2008. Nabity

PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING
COMMISSION:
October 19, 2007
SUBJECT: Amendment Request C-4-2008GI
PROPOSAL: To amend the existing Nottingham Estates RD-Residential
Development zone, east side of Hope Street and north of Church Road, to combine
lots 21 and 22 of Nottingham Estates Subdivision and permit the construction of a
duplex unit on the combined lots.
OVERVIEW:
Site Analysis
Current zoning designation: RD-Residential Development Zone
Comprehensive Plan Designation: Low to Medium Density Residential
Existing land uses: Vacant Property
Site constraints: None.
Adjacent Properties Analysis
Current zoning designations: North: RD-Residential Development Zone
South: RD-Residential Development Zone,
East: R1-Suburban Family Residential
West: R3-Medium Density Residential
Comprehensive Plan Designation: North: Low to Medium Density Residential
South: Low to Medium Density Residential
East: Public
West: Low to Medium Density Residential
Existing land uses: North: Town House Development
South: Vacant, Town House Development
East: School Athletic Field
West: Vacant
OVERVIEW:
· This amendment request represents a change to the final development plan
approval issued in 1981, as part of the Nottingham Estates RD-Residential
Development rezoning of the subject property.
· The original plat approval would have the building on lot 22 connected with the
buildings on the lots to the north and the building on lot 21 connected with
buildings to the south.
· Changes to the development plan were approved in 1992 to build the existing
units to the north. No changes were made at that time to the plan for Lot 22.
· The property is not currently being used or maintained in a residential manner.
Splitting this lot would encourage a more residential type use of the property.
· Sewer and Water are available
Positive Implications:
· Complementary Use: The additional residential lots will encourage a more
finished residential look and feel in this area.
· Consistent with the Comprehensive Plan: Development in the proposed manner
is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
· Promotes infill development: These lots have existed since 1981 and have not
been built upon. The amended development plan would permit building on these
lots.
Negative Implications:
· None
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that City Council approve this
request to amend the RD-Residential Development Zone as shown on the final plat
for Nottingham Estates Second Subdivision in the City of Grand Island.

Agenda Item #5
PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING
COMMISSION:
October 29, 2007
SUBJECT:
Concerning amendments to the Zoning Ordinance for the City of Grand Island
and its 2 mile extra-territorial jurisdiction. Amendments to be considered
pertain to section 36.101 and 36.106 regarding performance standard for
Salvage Yards and 36.68, 36.70, and 36.74 regarding the addition of parking
lots as a permitted principal use in the B2, B3 and M3 Zoning Districts of the
Grand Island City Code. (C-26-2007GI)
PROPOSAL:
City staff is suggesting additions to the Grand Island Zoning regulations
pertaining to performance standards for salvage operations that are shown in this
manner deletions or additions.
The suggested changes to sections 36-101 and 36-104 were approved by the
City Council in November of 2002. The changes did not, however, get
transferred to the zoning ordinance adopted in July of 2004. Adoption of these
changes will correct that issue.
§36-101. Performance Standards for Industrial Uses
The following standards shall be met unless there are greater standards required by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency or the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality.
(A) Physical Appearance: All operations shall be carried on within an enclosed building except
that new materials or equipment in operable condition may be stored in the open. Normal daily wastes of an
inorganic nature may be stored in containers not in a building when such containers are not readily visible
from a street. The provisions of this section shall not be construed to prohibit the display of merchandise or
vehicles for sale or the storage of vehicles, boats, farm machinery, trailers, manufactured homes, or similar
equipment when in operable condition.
(B) Fire Hazard: No operation shall involve the use of highly flammable gasses, acid, liquids,
grinding processes, or other inherent fire hazards. This provision shall not be construed to prohibit the use
of normal heating fuels, motor fuels and welding gasses when handled in accordance with other regulations
of the City of Grand Island.
(C) Noise: No operation shall be carried on which involves noise in excess of the normal traffic
noise of the adjacent street at the time of the daily peak hour of traffic volume. Noise shall be measured at
the property line and when the level of such noise cannot be determined by observation with the natural
senses, a suitable instrument may be used and measurement may include breakdowns into a reasonable
number of frequency ranges.
(D) Sewage and Liquid Wastes: No operation shall be carried on which involves the discharge into
a sewer, water course, or the ground, liquid waste of any radioactive or poisonous nature or chemical waste
which are detrimental to normal sewage plant operation or corrosive and damaging to sewer pipes and
installations.
(E) Air Contaminants:
ChadN S:\Docs\431.doc Last printed 10/31/2007 11:45 AM Page 2
(1) Air Contaminants and smoke shall be less dark than designated Number One on the
Ringleman Chart as published by the United States Bureau of Mines, except that smoke of a
density designated as Number One shall be permitted for one four minute period in each one-
half hour. Light colored contaminants of such a capacity as to obscure an observer's view to a
degree equal to or greater than the aforesaid shall not be permitted.
(2) Particulate matter of dust as measured at the point of emission by any generally accepted
method shall not be emitted in excess of two tenths (0.2) grains per cubic foot as corrected to
a temperature of 500 degrees Fahrenheit, except for a period of four minutes in any one-half
hour, at which time it may equal but not exceed six tenths (0.6) grains per cubic foot as
corrected to a temperature of 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
(3) Due to the fact that the possibilities of air contamination cannot reasonably be
comprehensively covered in this section, there shall be applied the general rule that there shall
not be discharged from any sources whatsoever such quantities of air contaminants or other
material in such quantity as to cause injury, detriment, nuisance, or annoyance to any
considerable number of persons or to the public in general; or to endanger the comfort,
repose, health, or safety of any such considerable number of persons or to the public in
general, or to cause, or have a natural tendency to cause injury or damage to business,
vegetation, or property.
(4) Odor: The emission of odors that are generally agreed to be obnoxious to any
considerable numbers of persons, shall be prohibited. Observations of odor shall be made at
the property line of the establishment causing the odor. As a guide to classification of odor it
shall be deemed that strong odors of putrefaction and fermentation tend to be obnoxious and
that such odors as associated with baking or the roasting of nuts and coffee shall not normally
be considered obnoxious within the meaning of this regulation.
(5) Gasses: The gasses sulphur dioxide and hydrogen sulphide shall not exceed five (5) parts
per million, carbon monoxide shall not exceed five (5) parts per million. All measurements
shall be taken at the zoning lot line.
(6) Vibration: All machines including punch presses and stamping machines shall be so
mounted as to minimize vibration and in no case shall such vibration exceed a displacement
of three thousands (0.003) of an inch measured at the zoning lot line. The use of steam or
broad hammers shall not be permitted in this zone.
(7) Glare and heat: All glare, such as welding arcs and open furnaces shall be shielded so
that they shall not be visible from the zoning lot line. No heat from furnaces or processing
equipment shall be sensed at the zoning lot line to the extent of raising the temperature of air
or materials more than five (5) degrees Fahrenheit.
(F) Physical Appearance: Salvage yards and other similar operations shall be effectively
enclosed or shielded from adjacent properties on all sides by means of a sight-obscuring fence at least
eight (8) feet in height, in good repair, and constructed of conventional fence building materials and
techniques as approved by the chief building official. No inventory or salvage materials of any nature
may be stacked within fifty (50.0) feet of the fence to a height greater than said fence.
§36-106. Conditional Uses; Salvage Yards
All salvage yards shall be subject to the following conditions as part of their permitted
conditional use:
(A) In addition to the information required pursuant to §36-88, an application for a
conditional use for a salvage yard shall include a site plan for the premises showing the layout of the
proposed operation, building and infrastructure locations, property dimensions, drainage and
landscaping.
(B) All structures located or constructed on the salvage yard premises shall comply with the
Grand Island City Code and all applicable building, electrical, plumbing and fire codes.
(C) All hazardous materials and regulated waste shall be received, stored, and disposed of in
accordance with state and federal laws and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency and the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality.
ChadN S:\Docs\431.doc Last printed 10/31/2007 11:45 AM Page 3
(D) All operations of a salvage yard, including those which are ancillary and indirectly related
to the salvage yard such as administration, parking, equipment and/or container storage shall be
conducted on the premises subject to the permitted conditional use.
(E) All premises on a salvage yard shall be kept and maintained in a clean and orderly
manner, using the best practices of the industry, with no loose garbage, litter, refuse or waste materials
on the premises except those kept in short term storage for processing. The persons operating the
salvage yard shall on a regular and routine basis inspect all areas adjacent to the salvage yard and clean
up any materials which originated from the salvage yard.
(F) Physical Appearance: Salvage yards and other similar operations shall be effectively
enclosed or shielded from adjacent properties on all sides by means of a sight-obscuring fence at least
eight (8) feet in height, in good repair, and constructed of conventional fence building materials and
techniques as approved by the chief building official. No inventory or salvage materials of any nature
may be stacked within fifty (50.0) feet of the fence to a height greater than said fence.
Under the current zoning regulations parking lots are only permitted as an
accessory use to principal use. These parking lots can be as far as 300 feet
away from the principal use they are accessory to but they are still an accessory
use. It would make sense to a llow parking lots, especially in the downtown area
a principal use. Under the current regulations there is no way to permit someone
to own and operate a “pay for parking” parking lot.

Amended by Ord. No. 8947, effective 1-5-2005
OVERVIEW:
The addition of subparagraph F to both 36-101 and 36-106 will clarify the
requirement for salvage yards and return those requirements to the intent as
expressed by a previous planning commission and city council.
The addition of parking lot to the B2, B3 and M3 zoning districts will allow this as
a principal use. The B3 and M3 zones are primarily downtown where parking
districts allow for the expansion of uses and new uses without the addition of new
parking spaces.
