O’Neill opened the public hearing.
Nabity explained this area included property from Capital Ave to 12th street (extended).
He stated that the intended property for development is located south of the public
drainage ditch and a portion of the ditch if filled in, which can lead to a possible access
to Capital Ave. Nabity stated that the study being brought forward indicated that the
area in questioned can be considered Blight and Substandard. Nabity noted this area
was the first area to be considered Blight and Substandard, however this property was
not located within the City Limits until it was annexed in 2002. The Blight and
Substandard study for this particular area was started by Habitat of Humanity, whom
decided to go another direction and was finished by Mr. Hoppe.
Keith Marvin from Marvin Planning Consultants the firm that completed the study
explained that the area meets 9 of the statutory requirements needed to be considered
Blight and Substandard.
Virgil Harden, the Chief Financial Officer for the Grand Island Public Schools
explained that Grand Island Public Schools is not opposing the Blight and Substandard
study but is opposing the likely outcome of the study which may include the potential
use of Tax Increment Financing.
Fred Hoppe the developer of the Land asked the commission to consider moving
forward with recommending the blight study as it would allow for the development to
produce affordable housing. He mentioned that in the past this particular tract of land is
difficult to develop due to its width and length and limited access points. He noted that
development to the north has helped created access to Capital making the development
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 6/6/2018 Page 12 / 156
more possible.
O’Neill closed the public hearing.
A motion was made by Monter and seconded by Randone to recommend approval of

14.Discussion- Text Amendment of Hall County Zoning Resolution. Concerning
proposed amendments to various parts of Article 2 Section 2.03 Definition of Terms,
and Article 4 Section 4.02 Agricultural – Primary District and Section 4.03 A-2
Secondary Agricultural District relative to livestock production. (C-06-2017HC)
Nabity noted that item 14 was not a public hearing but was in fact just brought forth for
a discussion to review changes made to Article 4. He explained that the changes made
were that of grammatical errors and some numbering inaccuracies. Nabity stated
changes were made to 2.03.242 to help clarify when 2 separate operations under the
same ownership sharing a waste facility can be considered 1 big operation.
Andy Baack, raised his concern about having up to 4,999 animal units operations right
next to each other. His concern was that a string of small operations can be right next to
each other once they meet the requirements based on the matrix. Baack noted that if an
operation exceed more than 10,000 animal units a conditional use is required allowing a
public hearing for citizens to voice their concerns. However, if there is a string of small
operations of 4,999 concentrated in one area there would not be a need to apply for a
conditional use permit even though they can raise the same issues as 1 large operation.
15.Directors Report
Nabity noted that the Prairie Moore Silver flood control project conditional letter of
map revision has been submitted to FEMA for a conditional approval based of the
design standards used to complete the project. This would allow for a new map to be
generated based on the improvements. Nabity noted that addresses affected by an
increase in floodplain on their property were notified with a letter and map showing
both areas that were increase and areas that were removed from the floodplain.
16.Next Meeting June 6, 2018.

PLANNING DIRECTOR MEMO TO REGIONAL PLANNING
May 20, 2018
SUBJECT: Proposed changes regarding livestock operations in Hall County.
In January of 2017 the Hall County Regional Planning Commission appointed a committee to review livestock
zoning regulations within Hall County. The committee was composed of five planning commissioners - all four of
those appointed by Hall County, Pat O’Neill, Len Rainforth, Judd Allan, and Greg Robb, and Les Ruge of Alda,
who was appointed in 1990 and is the longest-serving planning commissioner. The Planning Commission
requested that the Hall County Board assign one or two members of the board to the committee as well and
Steve Schuppan and Karen Bredthauer were appointed. The committee began meeting in the latter part of
January and has met several times since then to review the A-1 zoning regulations, livestock definitions, livestock
operation siting matrix as developed for the Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) and the Livestock Friendly
County designation through the Nebraska Department of Agriculture.
The committee began with a review of the current Hall County agriculture regulations and a comparison of those
regulations with regulations from the surrounding counties. It was concluded that Hall County’s regulations,
allowing 1,000 animal units as a permitted use on a farming operation were less strict than Adams, Buffalo and
Howard Counties. Hamilton County regulations do not provide any guidance regarding the size of operation and
Merrick County regulations would permit 2,500 animal units without a conditional use permit. Hamilton, Merrick,
Howard and Adams counties have all been designated as Livestock Friendly by the Nebraska Department of
Agriculture.
The ag zoning regulation changes as proposed add a localized version of the Livestock Siting Matrix into the
decision-making process. They do not propose to change size categories within the livestock operation mix
although earlier versions did contemplate adding a size between 1001 and 5000. They do address newer
confinement technologies, such as hoop buildings. The committee did review the Nebraska Department of
Agriculture definitions of types of feeding operations based on the manure management and the setbacks
proposed by the NDA. The committee is recommending that Hall County continue to divide Livestock Feeding
Operations (LFOs) by open lots and environmentally-controlled housing. It is recommended that the separation
distances between LFOs and other uses remain as they are in the current regulations. The required separation for
environmentally-controlled housing would remain the same for all classes.
The Livestock Siting Matrix is a major change to the regulations. As proposed, the LFO Class II and above (1,001
animal units or more) would need to score at least 75 points to be considered as a permitted use. The first 25
point would come from approval and compliance with Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (NDEQ)
permits and regulations that apply to all LFOs with more than 1,000 animal units. The second 25 points would
come from meeting the county separation distances or having impact easements that waive the separation
distance. Those 50 points would be required. The other 25 points would be based on management practices
including, but not limited to, environmental compliance, water quality protection, odor and dust control, manure
application practices, traffic, economic impact and aesthetics.
Another significant change that has been suggested is that the county would recognize impact easements that
could be agreed upon by all property owners that would allow feeding operations to locate closer to a neighboring
use than the regulations would allow or allow a house to locate closer to a feeding operation than would otherwise
be allowed. The Nebraska courts have validated these mutually agreed upon impact easements for livestock
operations.
The Planning department did receive a number of comments on the proposed regulations after the meeting in
April of 2017 many of the comments referenced both the Livestock Friendly County Designation and the proposed
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 6/6/2018 Page 53 / 156
changes. Copies of those comments were included in the March 14 Regional Planning Commission packet and
are available online or from the office.
In May of 2017, the Hall County Board authorized the Planning Department to make an application to the State of
Nebraska Department of Agriculture for Hall County to be designated as Livestock Friendly. The Livestock
Friendly County Designation was officially awarded to the Hall County during the Governor’s Breakfast the first
Sunday of the 2017 Nebraska State Fair.
At the March 2018 Regional Planning Commission meeting a hearing was held on the proposed changes. The
commission chose to take no action on the proposed changes and referred them back to the committee for further
discussion. The commission specifically directed the committee to consider expanding the number of
classifications to allow a classification between the type I and type II operations as had been previously
considered and to eliminate the need for conditional use permit for at least some of the operations with more than
1000 animal units. The commission also wanted to clarify the ability of people living in the primary agricultural
zone to house animals for 4-H projects and similar activities.
The committee decided to recommend no changes to the minimum size for the type I operation. Their suggestion
is that operations with between 301 and 1000 animal units continue to be classified as a type I LFO. The
previous version would have classified any operation with less than 1001 animal units as a type I LFO. This
should also help address 4-H projects and other activities.
At the meeting on April 4, 2018, the planning commission discussed the proposed changes. Some areas were
identified that needed slight rewording. Andy Baack spoke and identified some areas that appear to create
conflicts, changes have been made to address those conflicts.
At the May 2, 2018 meeting the Planning Commission review and discuss the proposed changes. The
commission recommended bringing the regulations as proposed forward for a public hearing and possible
recommendation to the Hall County Board regarding approval at the June 6, 2018 meeting.
At the June 6, 2018 Regional Planning Commission meeting the Commission will hold a public hearing on the
proposed changes and may choose to make a recommendation regarding the proposed changes to the Hall
County Board. No changes will be approved until after a public hearing and passage of a resolution amending
the Hall County Zoning Regulations by the Hall County Board of Supervisors.

4.02.01 Intent
The A-1 Agricultural District regulations are intended to provide for the preservation of lands best suited for
agricultural uses of all types including feed lots and the commercial feeding of livestock and accessory uses; to
prevent encroachment of uses of land that could be mutually incompatible and continue to provide for agricultural
uses as a major uses to the economy of the area for the use and conservation of agricultural land, to protect the
value of such land, and to protect it from indiscriminate residential and urban development and other incompatible
and conflicting land uses. The A-1 Agricultural District is also intended to conserve and protect the value of open
space, wooded areas, streams, mineral deposits and other natural resources and to protect them from incompatible
land uses and to provide for their timely utilization. The district intends to provide for the location and to govern
the establishment and operation of land uses that are compatible with agriculture and are of such nature that their
location away from residential, commercial and industrial areas is most desirable. In addition, to provide for the
location and to govern the establishment of residential uses which are accessory to and necessary for the conduct of
agriculture and to provide for the location and to govern the establishment and use of limited non-agricultural
residential uses. Such non-agricultural residential uses shall not be so located as to be detrimental to or conflict with
other uses that are named as permitted or conditional uses in this district and are appropriate to other property in the
area.
The nature of the A-1 Agricultural District and the uses allowed outright or by conditional use permit precludes the
provision of services, amenities and protection from other land uses which are afforded to residential uses by the
regulations of other districts, and it is not intended that the A-1 Agricultural District regulations afford such
services, amenities and protection to residential uses located therein.
