Public Hearing – Text Change to the BG General Business District Section 5.12.03, to consider adding storage units as a conditional use in the BG Zoning District. (C-22-2009WR) Nabity explained this was concerning amendments to the Zoning Ordinance for the City of Wood River and its 1 mile extra-territorial jurisdiction. Amendments to be considered pertain to §5.12.03 Permitted Conditional Use; the addition of storage and warehousing as a permitted conditional use in the BG Zoning District. Warehousing and storage uses are not uncommon in most general business districts as they are necessary to support most business uses. The proposed changes would allow them as a principle use by conditional use permit they would already be allowed accessory to an allowed principle use. In Wood River, the BG zones tend to be centered on the highway entrances to town. Warehousing and storage uses if allowed by conditional use permit could be tailored by the City Council to fit appropriate entrances into the City. The BG zone does not permit outside storage of products except the display of merchandise so only enclosed storage would be permitted. If merchandise is displayed this would be a retail facility that is already permitted within the regulations. The changes proposed here were requested by Mavis and James Reiter of Wood River.

Agenda Item # 4 PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION: October 7, 2009 SUBJECT: Zoning Change (C-01-2010GI) PROPOSAL: To rezone approximately3.9 acres of land south of Capital and west of Sky Park Road, in Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska, rezone from M2 - Heavy Manufacturing Zone to R3 – Medium Density Residential Zone. The applicant intends to build apartment units similar to those immediately to the west of this property at this location. The adjacent property is zoned R4 High Density Residential OVERVIEW: Site Analysis Current zoning designation: M2 – Heavy Manufacturing Permitted and conditional uses: M2 –Heavy Manufacturing - A wide variety of warehousing, storage, manufacturing and industrial uses and no residential uses. Storage wholesale and retail sale of grain/seed and agricultural chemicals permitted. Minimum lot size of 6000 square feet with 65% coverage. Comprehensive Plan Designation: Designated for future development as a low to medium density residential. Existing land uses. 1 Single Family Residence, vacant property Proposed Zoning Designation R3 –- Non-profit uses, recreational uses and residential uses at a density of 14 to 15 dwelling units per acre with 50% coverage. Adjacent Properties Analysis Current zoning designations: North: TA- Transitional Agriculture and M2- Heavy Manufacturing East and South: M2- Heavy Manufacturing West: R4- High Density Residential Permitted and conditional uses: TA - Agricultural uses including: raising of livestock, but not confined feeding, raising crops, greenhouses and nurseries and residential uses up to a density of 1 unit per 20 acres. Minimum lot size 20 acres. R4 –- Non-profit uses, recreational uses and residential uses at a density of 42 dwelling units per acre with 60% coverage. M2 –Heavy Manufacturing - A wide variety of warehousing, storage, manufacturing and industrial uses and no residential uses. Storage wholesale and retail sale of grain/seed and agricultural chemicals permitted. Minimum lot size of 6000 square feet with 65% coverage. Comprehensive Plan Designation: North and East: Designated for Manufacturing South and West: Designated for Low to Medium Density Residential. Existing land uses: North: Farm and farm based residential and the Central Nebraska Regional Airport South: drainage way, Humane Society East: Farm ground West: Apartments similar to those proposed for this development EVALUATION: Positive Implications: · Consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan: The subject property is designated for low to medium density residential (typically LLR to R3 zoning). · Consistent with existing uses: This change is consistent with the existing uses in the area. The proposed development is very similar to the new development to the west. · Infrastructure is available to support the development: Water is available to the site and sewer can be extended to serve these lots. · Potential reduction in the number of driveways: There are 25 lots in this area that front onto Capital Avenue each of these lots could access Capital Avenue with a drive way. The project as proposed would reduce this number to 10 lots sharing 5 driveways. Negative Implications: · Proximity to the Airport: The airport is located just to the north and east of this property. Airports and residences do not make good neighbors as airports are noisy and occasionally planes crash during takeoffs or landings. The airport does have plans to extend the runway by as much as 1300 feet toward Capital Avenue. This will move the end of the runway closer to the proposed development. · May inhibit development of manufacturing uses adjacent to this property: The property to the east of this is planned for manufacturing uses as is most of the property surrounding the airport. The airport is most consistent manufacturing uses. Airports do not mix well with residential uses. Other Considerations The this property is already intended for possible low to medium density residential uses as shown below on the Future Land Use Map for the City of Grand Island. Future Land Use Map of the Area as approved in the Grand Island Comprehensive Plan This property has been in the City Limits of Grand Island for well over 100 years. Sewer and has not been extended to serve the property but will be with this project. The M2 zoning has been in place since at least the mid 1960’s. No commercial or manufacturing development has occurred here. The majority of the development between Sky Park Road and the Burlington Railroad Overpass is residential on both the north and south sides of Capital Avenue. Residential development is anticipated on the south side of Capital Avenue by the Comprehensive Plan. RECOMMENDATION: That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Grand Island City Council change the zoning on this site from M2-Heavy Manufacturing to R3-Medium Density Residential as requested and shown on the attached map. ___________________ Chad Nabity AICP, Planning Director Item M4 Final Plat Insert a narrative here Wednesday, October 07, 2009 Regular Meeting Hall County Regional Planning Commission Staff Contact: Hall County Regional Planning Commission September 18, 2009 Dear Members of the Board: RE: Final Plat – Huxtable Subdivision For reasons of Section 19-923 Revised Statues of Nebraska, as amended, there is herewith submitted a final plat of Huxtable Subdivision, located west of 90th Rd., and north of Holling Rd., in Hall County Nebraska.
