Agenda Item #4
PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION:
March 26, 2019
SUBJECT:
Redevelopment plan amendment for property located in Blight and Substandard Area 1 for
property located at 221-223 W. Third Street (Greenburgers Building) in Grand Island, in Hall
County, Nebraska to support this development. (C-16--2019GI)
PROPOSAL:
The Wald 12 Properties LLC is proposing to renovate the Greenburgers Building for commercial
office space in the basement, first floor and roof along with residential on the second floor at
221-223 W. Third Street. The property is zoned B-3 Heavy Business the proposed uses are
permitted in this zoning district..
OVERVIEW:
The purpose of the CRA and the designated blight and substandard area is to provide
incentives for development in underdeveloped areas of the community. This area has
already been declared blighted and substandard the Grand Island City Council.
This project is consistent with the existing zoning and the future land use plan for this
area within the City of Grand Island. This is evident by the fact that the property is zoned B-
3 Heavy Business. This furthers the effort of the Downtown Improvement District and Grand
Island City Council to develop downtown update the commercial space and retain jobs in the
downtown area along with the creation of upper story residential units.
The Regional Planning Commission recommendation is limited to the appropriateness of the
proposed use at this location. The Grand Island Comprehensive Plan calls for the
development of a mix of commercial and residential uses at this location. This proposed
facility will be able to connect to city utilities including sewer and water at this location.
The Planning Commission is required to comment on these applications to confirm that
expenditure of public funds through TIF is not supporting uses that would be inconsistent
with the comprehensive plan. The proposed use for a mixed use development at this
location appears to be supported by the plan.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 4/3/2019 Page 14 / 50
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Planning Commission recommends find that the redevelopment plan is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan (general plan for development) of the city of Grand
Island. A resolution is attached for your consideration.

Adjacent Properties Analysis
Current zoning designations:North: RO- Residential Office Business Zone
South: RD- Residential Development Zone
East: B-1 Light Business Zone
West: RD- Residential Development Zone
Intent of zoning district:B-1: To provide for neighborhood shopping and
service facilities this will serve the needs of the
surrounding residential area. Residential uses are
permitted at the density of the (R-4) High Density
Residential Zoning District.
RD: The intent of this zoning district is to permit a
more flexible regulation of land use, and so as to
more fully implement comprehensive planning for
large parcels of land proposed predominantly for
residential use.
RO: The intent of this zoning district is to provide
the highest density of residential uses as well as for
various office, personal services and professional
uses. This zoning district is also used as a
transitional zone between lower density residential
zones and business or manufacturing zones.
Permitted and conditional uses:B-1: Residential uses, recreational uses, boarding
and lodging houses, educational uses (museums)
and towers.
RD: Uses as listed under permitted principal uses
of the (TA) Transitional Agricultural Zone, (R-1)
Suburban Residential Zone, (R-2) Low Density
Residential Zone, (R-3) Medium Density
Residential Zone, and (R-4) High Density
Residential Zone except as listed under specifically
excluded uses. Development Zone lots must meet
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 4/3/2019 Page 26 / 50
the minimum size of 1.5 acres. Towers, Nursing,
Convalescent & rest home services, Residential
assisted living, Retirement or assisted living and
Restaurants and cafes, with or without drive-in
facilities.
RO: Residential uses with no limit on the density
except available parking spaces, office uses,
personal services, assisted living facilities, day
cares, and prescription related retail.
EVALUATION:
Positive Implications:
Largely Consistent with the City of Grand Island’s current and historic zoning
regulations.
Accessible to Existing Municipal Infrastructure: City water and sewer services have
been extended to serve the rezoning area.
Would provide additional commercial and office space; this would provide for more
modernized commercial/ office spaces to the City of Grand Island.
Enhances the buffer between the single family homes and a major highway to the
east of the property where US Highway 281 is located.
Monetary Benefit to Applicant: Would allow the applicant to develop the property as
extension or compliment to the new medical development to the north.
Allow for development of an inaccessible piece of property: As currently zoned and
platted this property does not have access to a public road. The open space uses
currently permitted under the development plan would not require such access but
this change will allow it to be developed with the adjacent property that does have
access.
Negative Implications:
None foreseen:
Other Considerations
The majority of this property is already intended for low to medium density residential to
office uses as shown below on the Future Land Use Map for the City of Grand Island but
is adjacent to a major highway and the zoning of the property to the north has
anticipated residential office development for more than 25 years.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 4/3/2019 Page 27 / 50
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Grand Island City
Council change the zoning on this site from RD Residential Development Zone to
RO Residential Office Zone.
