PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING
COMMISSION:
February 26, 2020
SUBJECT:
Concerning proposed amendments to Section 36-102 Landscaping
Requirements relative to Applicability. (C-13-2020GI)
PROPOSAL:
To update the applicability section of the 36-102 Landscaping requirements to
add clarity to the existing regulations and add the Old Potash Highway District to
the list of areas exempted from landscaping regulations.
OVERVIEW:
The Landscaping Regulations were originally adopted in the mid 1990’s. They
have been amended several times since their initial adoption. In the original
regulation both the Central Business District (Downtown) and the Fourth Street
Business District were exempted from the regulations. Further amendments
were made to exempt Street Improvement Districts (the South Locust and
Fonner Park business improvement districts). These regulations were designed
from the beginning to foster a minimum landscape standard without causing an
undue burden on property owners or city staff.
The Grand Island Public Works Department is working on a rebuilding, widening
and renovation of Old Potash Highway between Webb Road and North Road.
The project is expected to occur over a two year period. The majority of this
corridor is has been developed along the existing rural section county road. The
project to widen the road will increase the width from a 2 or 3 lane section to a 3
to 7 lane section through this corridor with multiple round-a-bouts. The City will
be acquiring right of way from numerous property owners to accommodate
expanded road corridor.
The proposed changes, as attached, address concerns over conflicts with the
zoning regulations and requirements for landscaping on commercial properties
that are likely to arise due to the need for additional right of way along the Old
Potash Highway Corridor, see the attached map for the exact location. In
addition they clarify the relationship between Street Improvement Projects that
are exempted and approved Business Improvement Districts.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 3/11/2020 Page 13 / 44
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Grand Island
City Council approve the changes to the Grand Island Zoning Ordinance as
presented.

seasonal or climatic conditions or plant material being unavailable, the developer or owner of the
property shall submit the following to the Building Department:

installation, the owner or developer shall be issued a conditional certificate of occupancy or a
conditional letter authorizing commencement of use of the property by the Building Department.

property of the Veterans Home Campus in Grand Island, Nebraska. To honor the history and
sacrifices of our veterans by preserving historic elements of property. To enhance the
partnership between the State and the City regarding this site by facilitating the transfer of this
property from the State to the White Lotus Group. To facilitate the transfer it is proposed that
the State will give the property to the CRA and the CRA will in turn transfer the property to the
White Lotus Group. The transfer cannot be made directly between the State and White Lotus
Group. This redevelopment plan does not authorize the use of Tax Increment Financing.
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 by the CRA, the Hall County Regional
Planning Commission and the Grand Island City Council. Redevelopment of this property is
a priority for both the City of Grand Island and the State of Nebraska.
Transferring this property to a developer is in the best interest of the City. The three phase
project including elderly housing, assisted living and student housing and activities,
proposed by White Lotus Group in their response to a request for proposals by both the
State and the CRA is project is consistent with the existing zoning for this area within the
City of Grand Island. This is evident by the fact that the property is zoned RO Residential
Office. The RO zoning district allows a variety of residential uses including apartments and
nursing homes.
The Regional Planning Commission recommendation is limited to the appropriateness of the
proposed use at this location.
The Planning Commission is required to comment on these applications to confirm that the
transfer of this property through the CRA is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 3/11/2020 Page 22 / 44
proposed use for a senior housing development and student/intern housing and services at
this location appears to be supported by the plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Planning Commission recommends that City Council approve of the
redevelopment plan amendment as submitted. A resolution is attached for your
consideration.

Grand Island Veteran’s Home Redevelopment Project
January 2020
State of Nebraska (State), HELP Foundation of Omaha Inc. (White Lotus), a non-
profit corporation affiliated with White Lotus Group of Omaha, Nebraska, the
Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) and the City of Grand
Island, Nebraska (City) intend to complete a transaction providing for the
redevelopment of the Grand Island Nebraska Veterans Home property in Grand
Island, Nebraska.
Executive Summary:
The State of Nebraska owned and operated a state Veteran’s Home (Soldiers and Sailors
Home) in north central Grand Island between 1888 and 2019. In January of 2019 the
resident veterans were relocated to a new facility in Kearney, Nebraska. Following the
move to the new facility (during the summer of 2019) the Nebraska Department of
Administrative Services (DAS) sought redevelopment proposals for the 48 acre site of
containing the buildings and facilities. A committee consisting of DAS employees, Grand
Island residents, and community leaders reviewed proposals as submitted and selected
White Lotus Group of Omaha partnering with Chief Industries and O’Connor Enterprises
as the most responsible applicant and the best team for redevelopment of the site.
In June of 2019 the Grand Island City Council declared the Veteran’s Home property
included in CRA Area #16 to be Substandard and Blighted in accordance with the
Nebraska Community Development Law (Act).
In November of 2019 the CRA solicited the general public for redevelopment proposals
for a portion of CRA Area #16 including the Veterans Home Campus. One proposal was
received, from the White Lotus Group and their partners; in December of 2019 the CRA
passed Resolution 328 notifying the Grand Island City Council of the intent of the CRA to
enter into a redevelopment contract with the White Lotus Group upon approval of a
redevelopment plan and other agreements as needed.
In December of 2019 the DAS Vacant Building and Excess Land (VBEL) Committee met
and declared the remaining 58 acres of the Veteran’s Home campus to be vacant and
excess making it available for acquisition and redevelopment.
It is the intent of the City, the State and White Lotus to facilitate the transfer of the
Veteran’s Home Property to the White Lotus Group using CRA and powers granted to the
CRA and the City under the Act and this redevelopment plan is being proposed for that
express purpose.
Project Description
This Redevelopment Project is intended provide for the redevelopment of the buildings
and property of the Veterans Home Campus in Grand Island, Nebraska. To honor the
history and sacrifices of our veterans by preserving historic elements of property. To
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 3/11/2020 Page 24 / 44
Veterans Home Campus Property Transfer Redevelopment Plan Page 2
enhance the partnership between the State and the City regarding this site by facilitating
the transfer of this property from the State to the White Lotus Group.
The City has approved a blight study and determined that the Veterans Home Campus
is located within a blighted or substandard area (Area 16). This Redevelopment Plan
recognizes that the Veterans Home Campus is located within a blighted or substandard
area, thereby enabling the City to undertake a redevelopment project pursuant to the
Act.
The Property transfer is anticipated to occur after April 1, 2020 upon agreement of all
parties and following approval of this plan by the City Council and more than 30 days
after the execution of a redevelopment contract between White Lotus and the CRA. At
that time, the following actions are contemplated:
1. The State shall transfer the property in fee simple by warranty or special deed to
the CRA. The State is transferring the property the CRA pursuant to Neb. Rev.
Stat. §18-2138.
2. The CRA shall transfer the property in fee simple by warranty or special deed to
White Lotus. Such transfer shall be subject to significant covenants requiring White
Lotus to redevelop the property. Section 18-2118 of the Act provides that the CRA
may transfer real estate at “fair value for uses in accordance with a redevelopment
plan. In determining fair value, the CRA is required to:
Take into account and give consideration to the uses and purposes required by
such plan; the restrictions upon, and the covenants, conditions, and obligations
assumed by the redeveloper of such property; the objectives of the redevelopment
plan for the prevention of the recurrence of substandard and blighted areas; and
such other matters as the authority shall specify as being appropriate. Neb. Rev.
Stat. 18-2118
The CRA has reviewed the appraisal provided by the DAS for the property and
reviewed the significant costs required to rehabilitate the property pursuant to this
Redevelopment Plan. The covenants in the redevelopment contract will require
an investment by White Lotus in excess of the value of the property. Therefore,
the CRA intends to transfer the property to White Lotus, immediately upon
receiving title pursuant to Section 18-2107(4) of the Act empowering the CRA to
make “grants……to…private parties in order to accomplish the rehabilitation or
redevelopment in accordance with a redevelopment plan”. The CRA will impose
covenants on the property but shall not receive financial consideration for the
transfer of title to White Lotus.
3. White Lotus shall accept the property in an “as is, where is” condition indemnifying
the CRA from any liability the CRA may have incurred during its period of
ownership.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 3/11/2020 Page 25 / 44
Veterans Home Campus Property Transfer Redevelopment Plan Page 3
In exchange for the property White Lotus will proceed with the redevelopment of the
property as proposed subject to the covenants established in the redevelopment contract.
Changes to the redevelopment plan may be approved by the CRA and City Council.

THE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT COMPLIES WITH THE ACT:
The Community Development Law requires that a Redevelopment Plan and Project
consider and comply with a number of requirements. This Plan Amendment meets the
statutory qualifications as set forth below.
1. Redevelopment Project Area 16 was declared to be declared blighted and
substandard by action of the Grand Island City Council.[§18-2109] with the
passage of Resolution #2019-201 on June 25, 2019. Such declaration was
made after a public hearing in full compliance with the public notice
requirements of §18-2115 of the Act.
2. Conformation to the General Plan for the Municipality as a whole. [§18-2103
(13) (a) and §18-2110]
Grand Island adopted a Comprehensive Plan on July 13, 2004. This Redevelopment
Project is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan of Grand Island and no changes in the
Comprehensive Plan elements are intended. Documentation of compliance with the
Comprehensive plan was provided by the Hall County Regional Planning Commission at
a public hearing at their meeting on March 11, 2020 wherein the Commission passed
Resolution 2020-05 confirming that this project is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
for the City of Grand Island.
3. The Redevelopment Plan must be sufficiently complete to address the
following items: [§18-2103(13) (b)]
(a) Land Acquisition:
The Redevelopment Plan specifically grants authority for the CRA to
acquire this property with the intent of transferring the property to
White Lotus immediately upon acquisition and paying such costs as
may be required to accomplish the maintenance and transfer of the
property.
(b) Demolition and Removal of Structures:
The project to be implemented pursuant to this Redevelopment Plan will
required demolitions. However complete building demolition is not
comtemplated. The primary purpose and intent of this project is to provide for
adaptive reuse of the existing structures.
(c) Future Land Use Plan:
The Veterans Home Campus was designated a public use while the
property on the south side of Capital is shown as mixed use office it is
appropriate to consider the changes in ownership of the property and
extend the mixed use office designation to include the Campus. [§18-
2103(b) and §18-2111].

Grand Island Regular Meeting - 3/11/2020 Page 29 / 44
Veterans Home Campus Property Transfer Redevelopment Plan Page 7
(d) Changes to zoning, street layouts and grades or building codes or ordinances or
other Planning changes:
The Veterans Home Campus is zoned RO Residential Office all of the
proposed uses included in the redevelopment proposal are permitted in the
RO zoning district. No changes are anticipated in street layouts or grades.
No changes are anticipated in building codes or ordinances. Nor are any
other planning changes contemplated. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
(e) Site Coverage and Intensity of Use:
The Veterans Home Campus is zoned RO Residential Office and can
accommodate the improvements contemplated as part of this
Redevelopment Project. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111] No additional land
coverage is contemplated with structures. However additional structures
are not prohibited.
(f) Additional Public Facilities or Utilities:
Sewer and water are available to support this development.
No other utilities would be impacted by the development. [§18-2103(b)
and §18-2111]
5. The Act requires a Redevelopment Plan provide for relocation of individuals
and families displaced as a result of plan implementation. [§18-2103.02].
This Redevelopment Plan will not require the displacement of individuals or
families.
6. No member of the Authority, nor any employee thereof holds any interest in
any property in this Redevelopment Project Area. [§18-2106]
No members of the CRA or City employees hold an interest in property
within the Redevelopment Project Area.
7. Section 18-2114 of the Act requires that the Authority consider:
(a) Method and cost of acquisition and preparation for redevelopment and estimated
proceeds from disposal to redevelopers.
It is anticipated that the State of Nebraska will grant the property to the
Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority as an independent
political entity in the State of Nebraska. The CRA will then grant the
property to White Lotus subject to covenants established in a
redevelopment contract. This plan provides for both the acquisition and
disposition of the Veterans Home Campus property.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 3/11/2020 Page 30 / 44
Veterans Home Campus Property Transfer Redevelopment Plan Page 8
(b) Statement of proposed method of financing the Redevelopment Project.
White Lotus Group and their partners will be responsible for providing
financing for the project. The City of Grand Island may participate if
approvals are granted in authorizing Tax Increment Financing (TIF),
Property Assessed Clean Energy program (PACE) Financing and other
programs only on prior approval following statutory compliance and
redevelopment plan amendment.
(c) Statement of feasible method of relocating displaced families.
No families will be displaced as a result of this Redevelopment Plan.
8. Section 18-2113 of the Act requires:
Prior to recommending a redevelopment plan to the governing body for approval, an
authority shall consider whether the proposed land uses and building requirements in the
redevelopment project area are designed with the general purpose of accomplishing, in
conformance with the general plan, a coordinated, adjusted, and harmonious development
of the city and its environs which will, in accordance with present and future needs,
promote health, safety, morals, order, convenience, prosperity, and the general welfare,
as well as efficiency and economy in the process of development, including, among other
things, adequate provision for traffic, vehicular parking, the promotion of safety from fire,
panic, and other dangers, adequate provision for light and air, the promotion of the
healthful and convenient distribution of population, the provision of adequate
transportation, water, sewerage, and other public utilities, schools, parks, recreational and
community facilities, and other public requirements, the promotion of sound design and
arrangement, the wise and efficient expenditure of public funds, and the prevention of the
recurrence of insanitary or unsafe dwelling accommodations or conditions of blight.
The CRA has considered these elements in proposing this Redevelopment Plan. This
Redevelopment Plan will have no negative impact on the Comprehensive Plan for the
City of Grand Island. The improvements contemplated under this Redevelopment Plan
will raise property values and provide a stimulus to keep surrounding properties properly
maintained and support additional development. The intent of the property
Redevelopment Plan is to prevent recurring elements of blighting conditions.
.Justification of Project
The Grand Island Veteran’s Home has been a major source of community pride since its
inception. The loss of the Veteran’s Home has left a number of unanswered questions
about this property and how it will be used. This process including the request for
development proposals by the State of Nebraska and by the Grand Island CRA is an
attempt to provide direction to the redevelopment, provide benefits to the community,
along with preserving the historic nature of the facility.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 3/11/2020 Page 31 / 44
Veterans Home Campus Property Transfer Redevelopment Plan Page 9
9. Cost Benefit Analysis
This Redevelopment Plan does not permit the use of TIF. Any project using TIF will need
to be approved with a separate plan amendment that will include a cost benefit analysis.
10. Time Frame for Development
It is anticipated that the acquisition of this property from the State of Nebraska would
occur on or after April 1, 2020. It is further anticipated that the CRA will transfer the
property to White Lotus the same day that it is acquired from the State of Nebraska
