For Discussion:
This item is brought to the planning commission for discussion based on a request from the Grand Island
Board of Adjustment. They recently granted a variance for a property located at Davis Lake to modify
the existing setback and allow a house to be built that project 20 feet in front of the established set
back. All of the houses were placed 60 feet from the ROW and one has been allowed to build 40’ from
the ROW. This resets the established setback for those houses but does not address the underlying
issue. The general purpose of this type of regulation is to require a minimum conformity of setbacks in a
neighborhood or along a street. This means that each owner has similar visibility from the front of the
structure. The proposed change would impact all lots where the frontage of the lot is 100 feet or
greater. The width of the lot is a consideration because on wider lots there is more space for visibility
36-22 front yard requirements LLR from 50ft to 30ft.
§36-22. Yard Requirements
(A) Yard requirements shall be set forth under the Schedule of Lot, Yard, and Bulk Requirements for each
zoning district. Front, side and rear yards shall be provided in accordance with the regulations hereinafter indicated
and shall be unobstructed from the ground level to the sky, except as herein permitted.
(B) All accessory buildings that are attached to principal buildings (e.g., attached garages) shall comply
with the yard requirements of the principal building, unless otherwise specified.
36-22 (C) Front Yard: There shall be a front yard setback as required herein, provided, that where fifty
percent or more of the frontage on one street in any block is built up with buildings, no new building
setback shall be less than either the required setback or the setback of any existing building which next
exceeds the required setback, whichever is greater. This regulation shall not require a setback of more
than 50 feet, and in blocks where the lots have a street frontage of 100 feet or more the regulation shall
not require a setback of more than 30 feet.
(D) Side Yard: Any interior side yard may be reduced to zero; provided, that the opposite side yard meets
the required interior side yard setback. Where the zero side yard setback is used, the abutting property must be held
under the same ownership at the time of initial construction or the owners of the abutting property must be agreeable
to the zero setback. A separation of not less than ten (10) feet shall be provided between adjacent structures on
abutting sites where the zero side yard setback is utilized. This requirement shall not apply in an RD Zone or where
the same interior property line is utilized for zero side yard construction on both properties.
For the purpose of upkeep and repair of structures located on an interior property line, a four (4) foot
maintenance easement shall be recorded between the owner of the property containing said structure and the owner
of the property upon which entry must take place in order to perform maintenance activities. Such easement shall be
an irrevocable covenant and shall run with the land. Proof of said recorded easement shall be submitted to the
Building Department prior to issuance of a building permit.

For Discussion:
The ME zone allows many uses with trucks and trailer but does not specifically allow Bus, Truck and
Trailer Storage. The proposed changes would specify that as an allowed use. This would also be added
to the Matrix. The ME zone was approved with l andscaping requirements prior to the adoption of the
landscaping regulations. Removing the language that allows 2 years for landscaping in the ME zone
would make it consistent with the regulations in all other zoning districts.

For Discussion:
The current definition of a principal building does not allow for individual buildings on a single lot using
shared services if all of the buildings are used for the same principal use. An example where this might
happen is a strip commercial center. There could be several buildings located on a single lot all
containing office/retail space. If these buildings were to share an electrical and sewer service this would
allow for better utilization of the property in many cases and would encourage building owners to alter
the placement of the buildings from a single line of shops/offices.
36-8 Definitions
Building shall mean any structure built and maintained for the support, shelter or enclosure of persons,
animals, chattels, or property of any kind, but shall not include temporary buildings as defined in "Structure,
Temporary". Operable and licensed trailers, with wheels, shall not be considered as buildings.
Building Accessory shall mean any detached subordinate building that serves a function customarily
incidental to that of the main building or main use of the premises. Customary accessory building includes farm
buildings, garages, carports, and small storage sheds.
Building, Area of shall mean the sum in square feet of the ground areas occupied by all buildings and
structures on a lot.
Building Code shall mean the various codes of the City that regulate construction and requires building
permits, electrical permits, mechanical permits, plumbing permits, and other permits to do work regulated by the
adopted building code of the City, and other codes adopted by the City that pertain to building construction.
Building, Height shall mean the vertical distance measured from the centerline of the improved street to
the highest point of a roof surface, if a flat roof, to the deck line of mansard roofs, and to the mean height level
between eaves and ridge for gable, hip, and gambrel roofs. Building Inspector shall mean the building inspectors for the City of Grand Island, Nebraska.
Building Principal shall mean a building within which the main or primary use on the lot or premises is
located and which is supplied with the main electric and/or sewer utility connections. (Also, see Use, Principal.)
11
For Discussion:
The current code does not have any provisions explaining who has authority or granting authority to any
individuals within the city for the interpretation of the zoning regulations. Zoning regulations have to be
interpreted in order to be enforced. One of the powers of the Board of Adjustment is to determine if an
administrative official has made a correct decision in interpreting the regulations so it s obvious that the
State recognizes that someone needs to interpret the regulations. The Building Codes have a section
that defines who will make those interpretations and gives guidance regarding how those should be
made. The proposed language has been modified from the building code and is recommended as an
addition to the Grand Island Zoning Regulations. This provision is consistent with the practice that has
been in place between the Hall County Regional Planning Department and the Grand Island Building
Department.
36-24 Interpretation of These Regulations
The planning director and chief building official together are hereby authorized and directed
to enforce the provisions of this code. The planning director and building official together
shall have the authority to render interpretations of this code to adopt policies and
procedures in order to clarify the application of its provisions. Such interpretations, policies
and procedures shall be in compliance with the intent and purpose of this code. Such policies
and procedures shall not have the effect of waiving requirements specifically provided for in
this code.
