Request time to speak. 4. Public Hearing - Text Amendment - Amendments to be considered pertain to Section 36-71 (B) and would allow Commercial RV Storage in the ME Zone by conditional use permit. (C-06-2011GI) O’Neill opened the Public Hearing. The changes proposed were requested by Charles Staab of Rich and Sons RV. Mr. Staab has requested that the city add Commercial RV Storage to the list of conditional uses shown in section 36-71 (B) of the Grand Island City Code as shown below: §36-71. (ME) Industrial Estates Zone Intent: The intent of this zoning district is to provide for a variety of manufacturing, truck, trailer, and truck/trailer parts retailing, truck, trailer, and truck/trailer parts wholesaling, warehousing, administrative and research uses within an area of comparatively high visibility and having quality standards to promote an industrial park atmosphere. (A) Permitted Principal Uses: The following principal uses are permitted in the (ME) Industrial Estates Zoning District. (1) Any industrial/manufacturing use found in the Zoning Matrix [Attachment A hereto] shall be permitted within this zoning district, provided, such use is in compliance with miscellaneous provisions and performance standards listed in this section, or unless specifically excluded, or a conditional use as listed below. (2) Administrative offices for the wholesale distribution of propane when bottles are filled from bulk propane tanks not to exceed 70,000 gallons and when such tanks are installed to provide a source of heat for a building on the lot. (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 (ME) Industrial Estates Zoning District as approved by the City Council. (1) Explosives manufacturing (2) Towers (radio, television, satellite, etc.) (3) Gravel, sand or dirt removal, stockpiling, processing or distribution and batching plant (4) Trade and vocational schools (5) Commercial RV Storage (6) other uses found in the Zoning Matrix [Attachment A hereto] All areas with changes are highlighted. Additions are Italicized and underlined and deletions are in strike out. The ME zone is already permits a variety of trailer storage, warehousing and construction uses. The storage of RV’s at this location is already permitted based upon the existing language. Mr. Staab has requested the ability to rent space to people that wish to store their personal RV’s at this site. The ability to rent space within a permitted storage lot is not specifically provided for and would require a change to city code to allow. The proposed change as requested would not allow for the development of mini or self storage units at this site. It would not allow for commercial rental of storage space for cars or similar personal vehicles. The change as proposed would not automatically permit the proposed use anywhere in the Platte Valley Industrial park. This use would be limited by the conditional use permit process. Standards for landscaping, fencing and access can all be controlled and enforced through the conditional use process. O’Neill asked if any standards or conditions would need to be required. Mr. Staab responded there would be a chain link fence surrounding the property along with a remote gate. Those who would be renting the space would have certain criteria they would have to meet before they would be allowed use of the facility. City Code would still have to be followed as for landscaping etc. No other member of the public spoke in favor or against the proposed changes. O’Neill closed the Public Hearing. A motion was made by Ruge and seconded by Haskins to approve the amendments to Chapter 36-71 of the Grand Island City Code. The motion carried with 9 members present and all voting in favor (O’Neill, Ruge, Hayes, Reynolds, Haskins, Eriksen, Bredthauer, Connelly and Snodgrass) and no members abstaining. 5. Public Hearing – Rezone – A request to rezone properties located north of Fairacres Lane and east of Shady Bend Road from R1 - Residential to M1 - Light Manufacturing, these properties include Fairacres Dairy Subdivision Lots 10 and 11 Pt of Lots 9 and 12, Pt of the W ½ of the NW ½ of the SW ¼ of Section 12, Township 11 north, Range 9, west of the 6th P.M. that is adjacent and contiguous with the above lots in Fairacres Dairy Subdivision, Lots 1 an 2 of Fairacres Dairy Fifth Subdivision and Lot 2 of Fairacres Dairy 8th Subdivision in the City of Grand Island. (C-07- 2011GI). O’Neill opened the Public Hearing. Nabity explained this request to rezone was consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan: The subject property is designated mostly for mixed use manufacturing uses. Accessible to Existing Municipal Infrastructure: City water and sewer services are available and can be extended to serve all of the properties. The change to manufacturing may increase the value of these smaller properties enough to make those extensions affordable. Has historically been used for manufacturing uses: This property all part of and adjacent to the original Fairacres Dairy Subdivision has been used for warehousing, storage and transportation services for more than 40 years. The proposed change would support the existing manufacturing uses. Good access to transportation systems: Shady Bend Road is designated as a major arterial for both the City of Grand Island and Hall County and provides good access to both U.S Highways 30 and 34. Significant portion of the property in this area that is used for industrial purpose is included in the application: The Orphan Grain Train as the primary applicant has worked with the neighboring property owners to submit a request for rezoning that includes the majority of the property used for industrial/manufacturing purposes in this area. Choice of the M1 Designation: This request will allow the existing uses to continue and expand at this location but will not open the area up to heavier manufacturing uses. Sandra Sims of 3620 E Seedling Mile Road questioned what types of manufacturing would be allowed in the area as she was a homeowner. Nabity explained it was a light manufacturing zone. There would be no ammunition plants or large manufacturing plants. O’Neill closed the Public Hearing. A motion was made by Bredthauer, seconded by Connelly to approve the rezone request of properties located east of Shady Bend Road and north of Fairacres Lane, from R1 Suburban Density Residential to M1 - Light Manufacturing, as presented.

OVERVIEW: Cities are created to facilitate the infrastructure necessary (streets, sewer, water…) for people to live together in close proximity. Annexation is the way cities grow. Grand Island has annexed suburban development numerous times over its history including areas such as Parkview and Capital Heights. The City of Grand Island has been involved in numerous lawsuits over annexation but has ultimately continued to grow into the City it is today because of annexation. Nebraska Statutes allow cities of the First Class to annex property that is adjacent to and contiguous with the municipal limits of the city and that is not agricultural land that is rural in nature. Agricultural land with adjacent municipal services and greater value as developed land than as farm ground has been found by Nebraska courts to be suburban in nature and therefore eligible for annexation. City staff has identified 15 areas around the City of Grand Island that appear to meet the qualification of being adjacent and contiguous and not agricultural land that is rural in nature. At the March 22, 2011 meeting of the Grand Island City Council a resolution was passed that directed the planning department and other city staff as follows: · to proceed with preparing annexation plans (as required and defined by statute), · to notify property owners and school districts as required by law, and · to forward the annexation plans to the Regional Planning Commission for review, regarding 8 areas eligible for annexation adjacent to the Grand Island municipal limits. The annexation plans for 6 of the 8 eight identified areas are complete and ready for consideration and recommendation by the Regional Planning Commission. The attached map identifies those areas under consideration at this meeting. Annexation plans are attached for areas identified as 3a, 6, 7, 12, 13, and 14. All of the properties under consideration are in the Grand Island Utilities District and the Northwest/Cedar Hollow School District. Sewer and water are available to all of these properties; though neighborhood mains will need to be extended as the property is developed. RECOMMENDATION: That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Grand Island City Council annex these properties as presented. ___________________ Chad Nabity AICP, Planning Director ANNEXATION PLAN AREA 3a–July 2011 July 6, 2011 OVERVIEW Section 16-117 of The Nebraska State Statute allows municipalities of the first class to annex any contiguous or adjacent lands, lots, tracts, streets, or highways that are urban or suburban in character and in such direction as may be deemed proper. Regulations governing municipal annexation were implemented in order to develop an equitable system for adding to and increasing city boundaries as urban growth occurs. Areas of the community that are urban in nature, and are contiguous to existing boundaries, are appropriate for consideration of annexation. Annexation of urban areas adjacent to existing city boundaries can be driven by many factors. The following are reasons annexation should be considered: 1. Governing urban areas with the statutorily created urban form of government, municipalities have historically been charged with meeting the needs of the expanded community. 2. Provide municipal services. Municipalities are created to provide the governmental services essential for sound urban development and for the protection of health, safety and well being of residents in areas that are used primarily for residential, industrial, and commercial purposes. 3. Ensure orderly growth pursuant to land use, building, street, sidewalk, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water, and electrical services. 4. Provide more equitable taxation to existing property owners for the urban services and facilities that non-city residents in proposed annexation areas use on a regular basis such as parks, streets, public infrastructure, emergency services, retail businesses and associated support. 5. Ensure ability to impose and consistently enforce planning processes and policies. 6. Address housing standards and code compliance to positively impact quality of life for residents. 7. Enable residents of urban areas adjacent to city to participate in municipal issues, including elections that either do or will have an impact on their properties. 8. Anticipate and allocate resources for infrastructure improvements. 9. Increase number of street or lane miles while increasing gas tax dollars received from the Nebraska Department of Roads. 10. Provide long term visioning abilities as it relates to growth and provision of services. City Services Available and to be provided A comprehensive inventory of services and facilities, relative to the types and level of services currently being provided as well as the types of level of services anticipated as a result of annexation, has been developed. The inventory includes general information concerning: · Existing infrastructure in affected area(s) · Summary of expenditures to extend existing infrastructure · Summary of operating expenditures associated with increased services · Emergency services The service plan incorporates detailed elements of the inventory. The inventory and resulting service plan should be the basis for discussions concerning each specific area identified for potential annexation. It should be noted that the capital improvements to existing infrastructure and extending services will take place over a period of time in order to ensure adequate time for planning, designing, funding and constructing such a sizable number of projects while protecting the financial integrity of the City’s enterprise funds. The service plan provides for extending the trunk water and sanitary sewer lines to the annexed area if they are not already available. Individual property owners will be responsible for the cost of extending services through neighborhoods and for connecting their properties to the public systems. City Services not requiring extension of infrastructure would be available immediately upon annexation. Services requiring extension of infrastructure would be available upon installation of services to City of Grand Island standards and acceptance into the City systems. Extension may be contingent on the successful creation and continuation of an assessment district to raise the necessary funding for installation.

Regulations governing municipal annexation were implemented in order to develop an equitable system for adding to and increasing city boundaries as urban growth occurs. Areas of the community that are urban in nature, and are contiguous to existing boundaries, are appropriate for consideration of annexation. Annexation of urban areas adjacent to existing city boundaries can be driven by many factors. The following are reasons annexation should be considered: 1. Governing urban areas with the statutorily created urban form of government, municipalities have historically been charged with meeting the needs of the expanded community. 2. Provide municipal services. Municipalities are created to provide the governmental services essential for sound urban development and for the protection of health, safety and well being of residents in areas that are used primarily for residential, industrial, and commercial purposes. 3. Ensure orderly growth pursuant to land use, building, street, sidewalk, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water, and electrical services. 4. Provide more equitable taxation to existing property owners for the urban services and facilities that non-city residents in proposed annexation areas use on a regular basis such as parks, streets, public infrastructure, emergency services, retail businesses and associated support. 5. Ensure ability to impose and consistently enforce planning processes and policies. 6. Address housing standards and code compliance to positively impact quality of life for residents. 7. Enable residents of urban areas adjacent to city to participate in municipal issues, including elections that either do or will have an impact on their properties. 8. Anticipate and allocate resources for infrastructure improvements. 9. Increase number of street or lane miles while increasing gas tax dollars received from the Nebraska Department of Roads. 10. Provide long term visioning abilities as it relates to growth and provision of services. City Services Available and to be provided A comprehensive inventory of services and facilities, relative to the types and level of services currently being provided as well as the types of level of services anticipated as a result of annexation, has been developed. The inventory includes general information concerning: · Existing infrastructure in affected area(s) · Summary of expenditures to extend existing infrastructure · Summary of operating expenditures associated with increased services · Emergency services The service plan incorporates detailed elements of the inventory. The inventory and resulting service plan should be the basis for discussions concerning each specific area identified for potential annexation. It should be noted that the capital improvements to existing infrastructure and extending services will take place over a period of time in order to ensure adequate time for planning, designing, funding and constructing such a sizable number of projects while protecting the financial integrity of the City’s enterprise funds. The service plan provides for extending the trunk water and sanitary sewer lines to the annexed area if they are not already available. Individual property owners will be responsible for the cost of extending services through nei ghborhoods and for connecting their properties to the public systems. City Services not requiring extension of infrastructure would be available immediately upon annexation.

Regulations governing municipal annexation were implemented in order to develop an equitable system for adding to and increasing city boundaries as urban growth occurs. Areas of the community that are urban in nature, and are contiguous to existing boundaries, are appropriate for consideration of annexation. Annexation of urban areas adjacent to existing city boundaries can be driven by many factors. The following are reasons annexation should be considered: 1. Governing urban areas with the statutorily created urban form of government, municipalities have historically been charged with meeting the needs of the expanded community. 2. Provide municipal services. Municipalities are created to provide the governmental services essential for sound urban development and for the protection of health, safety and well being of residents in areas that are used primarily for residential, industrial, and commercial purposes. 3. Ensure orderly growth pursuant to land use, building, street, sidewalk, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water, and electrical services. 4. Provide more equitable taxation to existing property owners for the urban services and facilities that non-city residents in proposed annexation areas use on a regular basis such as parks, streets, public infrastructure, emergency services, retail businesses and associated support. 5. Ensure ability to impose and consistently enforce planning processes and policies. 6. Address housing standards and code compliance to positively impact quality of life for residents. 7. Enable residents of urban areas adjacent to city to participate in municipal issues, including elections that either do or will have an impact on their properties. 8. Anticipate and allocate resources for infrastructure improvements. 9. Increase number of street or lane miles while increasing gas tax dollars received from the Nebraska Department of Roads. 10. Provide long term visioning abilities as it relates to growth and provision of services. City Services Available and to be provided A comprehensive inventory of services and facilities, relative to the types and level of services currently being provided as well as the types of level of services anticipated as a result of annexation, has been developed. The inventory includes general information concerning: · Existing infrastructure in affected area(s) · Summary of expenditures to extend existing infrastructure · Summary of operating expenditures associated with increased services · Emergency services The service plan incorporates detailed elements of the inventory. The inventory and resulting service plan should be the basis for discussions concerning each specific area identified for potential annexation. It should be noted that the capital improvements to existing infrastructure and extending services will take place over a period of time in order to ensure adequate time for planning, designing, funding and constructing such a sizable number of projects while protecting the financial integrity of the City’s enterprise funds. The service plan provides for extending the trunk water and sanitary sewer lines to the annexed area if they are not already available. Individual property owners will be responsible for the cost of extending services through neighborhoods and for connecting their properties to the public systems. City Services not requiring extension of infrastructure would be available immediately upon annexation. Services requiring extension of infrastructure would be available upon installation of services to City of Grand Island standards and acceptance into the City systems. Extension may be contingent on the successful creation and continuation of an assessment district to raise the necessary funding for installation. 13th and North Road This property is the located in the northwest part of the community. It is south of 13th Street on the east and west sides of North Road and north of Faidley Avenue. The City of Grand Island provides electric services to the area.
