Nabity explained that this plan is based on the one prepared by Hanna:Keelan Associates as part of the blight study.

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.

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 land is located north of Church Street and east of Hope Street. Wednesday, November 07, 2007 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: 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. ___________________ Chad Nabity AICP, Planning Director October 25, 2007 C-4-2008GI Dear Property Owner: You are hereby notified that a public hearing will be held at a meeting before the Regional Planning Commission, in the Council Chambers, located in Grand Island’s City Hall, 100 E First Street, beginning at 6:00 p.m., Wednesday November 7, 2007 concerning the following changes: An amendment to the Grand Island Zoning Map from RD Residential Development District to Amended RD Residential Development District, located on a tract of land comprising all of Lots Twenty One (21) and Twenty Two (22), Nottingham Estates Subdivision.

(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.

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.

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.
