Agenda Item #4
PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING
COMMISSION:
March 21, 2008
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 the §36-70 (B) B3-Heavy Business Zone Conditional Uses to
include Automobile body repair as a conditional use in this zoning district (C-
12-2008GI)
PROPOSAL:
The changes proposed here were requested by Rick Johnson of Grand Island,
Nebraska. All areas with changes are highlighted. Additions are Italicized and
underlined and deletions are in strike out.
§36-70. (B-3) Heavy Business Zone
Intent: The intent of this zoning district is to provide for the multiple uses within the central
business district. Residential uses are permitted at the density of the (RO) Residential Office Zone.
(B) Conditional Uses: The following uses are subject to any conditions listed in this chapter and are subject
to other conditions relating to the placement of said use on a specific tract of ground in the (B-3) Heavy
Business Zoning District as approved by City Council.
(1) Manufacture, fabrication or assembly uses incidental to wholesale or retail sales wherein not more
than 20% of the floor area is so used
(2) Outdoor sales and rental lots for new or used automobiles, boats, motor vehicles, trailers,
manufactured homes, farm and construction machinery
(3) Stores and shops for the conduct of wholesale business, including sale of used merchandise.
(4) Towers
(5) Automobile body repair: subject to the following minimum standards:
No storage of parts or unlicensed vehicles outside of an enclosed building,
The facility shall meet or exceed all building and fire code requirements,
(6) Other uses as indicated in the Zoning Matrix [Attachment A hereto]
OVERVIEW:
The B3 zone does not permit Automobile Body repair but does allow mechanical
repair garages by conditional use permit. Vintage Body Shop at 3rd and Elm has
been located in the B3 district for many years without creating any issues. The
only B3 property in the City is located in the Downtown area. All of the property
north of the B3 zone is M3-Mixed Use Manufacturing and allows Automobile
Body Repair as a permitted principal use.
ChadN S:\Docs\469.doc Last printed 3/24/2008 4:05 PM Page 2
This use would not be appropriate for the entire B3 zoned area but there are
places along the outskirts that it would not be detrimental. Allowing this use as a
conditional use would give Council the option of permitting it and placing
reasonable restriction on it in those locations where it would make sense.
Automobile mechanical repair and sales are both conditional uses in the B3 zone
and allowed in the M3 zone.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Grand Island
City Council approve the changes to the Grand Island Zoning Ordinance as
requested.
