Agenda Item #5
PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING
COMMISSION:
June 19, 2020
SUBJECT:Concerning change of zoning for property located in part of the
Section 1, Township 9, Range 10, North of Clarice Street, and West of U.S.
Highway 281, in Doniphan NE from TA Transitional Agriculture to GC General
Commercial. (C-17-2020D)
PROPOSAL: This change would allow this property to be split from the surrounding
farm ground and developed adjacent to the existing village street and sewer and water
services north of the clinic building. Dollar General is proposing to build a store at this
location if the rezoning is approved.
OVERVIEW:
Site Analysis
Current zoning designation: TA-Transitional Agriculture District
Permitted and conditional uses: TA - Agricultural uses, recreational uses and very
limited residential uses.
Comprehensive Plan Designation: Designated for light industrial uses with commercial
uses immediately to the south.
Existing land uses. Farm ground
Requested Zoning District GC General Commercial
Permitted and Conditional Uses GC-Retail trade, business, cultural and social
activities marketed to the entire community.
Adjacent Properties Analysis
Current zoning designations: North TA Transitional Agriculture
South HC-Highway Commercial
West: TA Transitional Agriculture
East I-1 Light Industrial
Permitted and conditional uses: TA - Agricultural uses, recreational uses and very
limited residential uses.
HC – Commercial uses that will benefit the
community and enhance the highway corridor
without negatively impacting the downtown
commercial district.
I-1 Light Industrial – Limited industrial, wholesale
and storage activities.
Comprehensive Plan Designation: North: Designated for Industrial uses
South: Designated for Highway Commercial
Development.
West: Highway and General Commercial
Development
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/1/2020 Page 56 / 121
East: Designated for Industrial Uses
Existing land uses: North: Farm Ground
East: U.S. Highway 28, Doniphan Gun Club
South: Nebraska Public Power Offices, Doniphan
Medical Clinic, and Farm Ground.
EVALUATION:
Positive Implications:
Largely Consistent with the Village’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan: This change of
zone is generally consistent with the comprehensive plan. The future land use map
indicates commercial development all around this property with a combination of
service and highway commercial.
Adjacent to U.S. Highway 281: This property has good visibility and almost all traffic
impacts will occur with the jurisdiction of the State of Nebraska.
Existing infrastructure: This property is currently served by an existing village street
and sewer and water.
Increased opportunity to collect sales tax: The proposed Dollar General will provide
additional local shopping options for residents of Doniphan and the surrounding
area.
Negative Implications:
None foreseen:
Other Considerations
This property and that surrounding it has been the subject of many rezoning and
subdivision conversations over the past 20 years. No action has occurred largely
because of the costs involved in development and the support that Doniphan can offer in
terms of sewer service. Developing this small parcel adjacent to the existing
infrastructure may provide the spark needed to foster further development on this side of
U.S. Highway 281.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Village of Doniphan
amend the zoning on the subject property from TA-Transitional Agriculture to GC
General Commercial and pass an ordinance to show these changes on the Official
Zoning Map for the Village of Doniphan.

The terms blighted and substandard have very specific meanings within the context of the
Community Redevelopment Statutes. Those terms as defined by Statute are included below:
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 7/1/2020 Page 65 / 121
3
Section 18-2103
Terms, defined.
For purposes of the Community Development Law, unless the context otherwise requires:
(3) Blighted area means an area (a) which, by reason of the presence of a substantial number of
deteriorated or deteriorating structures, existence of defective or inadequate street layout, faulty
lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility, or usefulness, insanitary or unsafe
conditions, deterioration of site or other improvements, diversity of ownership, tax or special
assessment delinquency exceeding the fair value of the land, defective or unusual conditions of
title, improper subdivision or obsolete platting, or the existence of conditions which endanger
life or property by fire and other causes, or any combination of such factors, substantially
impairs or arrests the sound growth of the community, retards the provision of housing
accommodations, or constitutes an economic or social liability and is detrimental to the public
health, safety, morals, or welfare in its present condition and use and (b) in which there is at
least one of the following conditions: (i) Unemployment in the designated area is at least one
hundred twenty percent of the state or national average; (ii) the average age of the residential
or commercial units in the area is at least forty years; (iii) more than half of the plotted and
subdivided property in an area is unimproved land that has been within the city for forty years
and has remained unimproved during that time; (iv) the per capita income of the area is lower
than the average per capita income of the city or village in which the area is designated; or (v)
the area has had either stable or decreasing population based on the last two decennial

thirty-five percent of the city as blighted, a city of the second class shall not designate an area
larger than fifty percent of the city as blighted, and a village shall not designate an area larger
than one hundred percent of the village as blighted. A redevelopment project involving a
formerly used defense site as authorized under section 18-2123.01 shall not count towards the
percentage limitations contained in this subdivision;
(31) Substandard areas shall mean an area in which there is a predominance of buildings or
improvements, whether nonresidential or residential in character, which, by reason of
dilapidation, deterioration, age or obsolescence, inadequate provision for ventilation, light, air,
sanitation, or open spaces, high density of population and overcrowding, or the existence of
conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes, or any combination of such
factors, is conducive to ill health, transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency,
and crime, (which cannot be remedied through construction of prisons), and is detrimental to
the public health, safety, morals, or welfare;

This Study Area in Grand Island meets the defintion of Substandard as defined in the Revised Nebraska State Statutes.
FINDINGS FOR GRAND ISLAND BLIGHT STUDY AREA #31
Blight Study Area #31 has several items contributing to the Blight and Substandard Conditions. These conditions
include:
Blighted Conditions under Part A
Substantial number of deteriorating structures
Deterioration of site or other improvements
Dangerous conditions to life or property due to fire or other causes
Criteria under Part B of the Blight Definition
Stable or decreasing population based upon the last two decennial census
Substandard Conditions
Dangerous conditions to life or property due to fire or other causes.
RECOMMENDATION:
Blight and Substandard Designation
Planning Commission staff is recommending consideration of the following questions as a starting
point in the analysis of this Study and in making a recommendation on the question of whether the
property in question is blighted and substandard.
Recommend Questions for Planning Commission
Does this property meet the statutory requirements to be considered blighted and
substandard? (See the prior statutory references.)
Are the blighted and substandard factors distributed throughout the Redevelopment Area, so
basically good areas are not arbitrarily found to be substandard and blighted simply because
of proximity to areas which are substandard and blighted? Is development of adjacent
property necessary to eliminate blighted and substandard conditions in the area?
Is public intervention appropriate and/or necessary for the redevelopment of the area?
Will a blight declaration increase the likelihood of development/redevelopment in the near
future and is that in the best interest of the City?
What is the policy of the City toward increasing development and redevelopment in this area
of the City?
Findings of fact must be based on the study and testimony presented including all written
material and staff reports. The recommendation must be based on the declaration, not based on
any proposed uses of the site. All of the testimony, a copy of the study and this memo along
with any other information presented at the hearing should be entered into the record of the
hearing.

If the Regional Planning Commission concludes that the area in question meets the definition of
blighted and substandard and supports such conclusion with findings of fact they should move to
recommend approval of the declaration as blighted and substandard based on the facts presented
and identified at this meeting.
If the Regional Planning Commission concludes that the area in question does not meet the
definition of blighted and substandard and supports such conclusions with findings of fact, they
should move to recommend denial of the declaration as blighted and substandard based on the
facts identified.

PURPOSE OF THE BLIGHT AND SUBSTANDARD STUDY
The purpose of completing this Blight and Substandard study is to examine existing conditions
within a specific part of Grand Island. This study has been commissioned by John Baasch Augers
in order to analyze the possibility of declaring the area as blighted and substandard.
The City of Grand Island, when considering conditions of Blight and Substandard, will be looking
at those issues and definitions provided for in the Nebraska Community Redevelopment Law as
found in Chapter 18, Section 2104 of the Revised Nebraska State Statutes, as follows:
“The governing body of a city, to the greatest extent it deems to be feasible in
carrying out the provisions of the Community Development Law, shall afford
maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the city as a whole, to the
rehabilitation or redevelopment of the community redevelopment area by private
enterprises. The governing body of a city shall give consideration to this objective in
exercising its powers under the Community Development Law, including the
formulation of a workable program, the approval of community redevelopment
plans consistent with the general plan for the development of the city, the exercise of
its zoning powers, the enforcement of other laws, codes, and regulations, relating to
the use of land and the use and occupancy of buildings and improvements, the
disposition of any property acquired, and the providing of necessary public
improvements.”
The Nebraska Revised Statutes §18-2105 continues by granting authority to the governing body
for formulation of a workable program; disaster assistance; effect. The statute reads,
“The governing body of a city or an authority at its direction for the purposes of the
Community Development Law may formulate for the entire municipality a workable
program for utilizing appropriate private and public resources to eliminate or prevent
the development or spread of urban blight, to encourage needed urban
rehabilitation, to provide for the redevelopment of substandard and blighted areas,
or to undertake such of the aforesaid activities or other feasible municipal activities
as may be suitably employed to achieve the objectives of such workable program.
Such workable program may include, without limitation, provision for the prevention
of the spread of blight into areas of the municipality which are free from blight
through diligent enforcement of housing, zoning, and occupancy controls and
standards; the rehabilitation or conservation of substandard and blighted areas or
portions thereof by replanning, removing congestion, providing parks, playgrounds,
and other public improvements by encouraging voluntary rehabilitation and by
compelling the repair and rehabilitation of deteriorated or deteriorating structures;
and the clearance and redevelopment of substandard and blighted areas or
portions thereof.”
“Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Community Development Law, where
the local governing body certifies that an area is in need of redevelopment or
rehabilitation as a result of flood, fire, hurricane, earthquake, storm, or other
catastrophe respecting which the Governor of the state has certified the need for
disaster assistance under federal law, the local governing body may approve a
redevelopment plan and a redevelopment project with respect to such area without
regard to the provisions of the Community Development Law requiring a general
plan for the municipality and notice and public hearing or findings other than herein
set forth.”
Based on the Nebraska Revised Statutes §18-2103 the following definitions shall apply:
“Blighted area means an area (a) which, by reason of the presence of a substantial
number of deteriorated or deteriorating structures, existence of defective or
inadequate street layout, faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility,
or usefulness, insanitary or unsafe conditions, deterioration of site or other
improvements, diversity of ownership, tax or special assessment delinquency
exceeding the fair value of the land, defective or unusual conditions of title, improper
subdivision or obsolete platting, or the existence of conditions which endanger life or

property by fire and other causes, or any combination of such factors, substantially
impairs or arrests the sound growth of the community, retards the provision of housing
accommodations, or constitutes an economic or social liability and is detrimental to
the public health, safety, morals, or welfare in its present condition and use and (b) in
which there is at least one of the following conditions: (i) Unemployment in the
designated area is at least one hundred twenty percent of the state or national
average; (ii) the average age of the residential or commercial units in the area is at
least forty years; (iii) more than half of the plotted and subdivided property in an area
is unimproved land that has been within the city for forty years and has remained
unimproved during that time; (iv) the per capita income of the area is lower than the
average per capita income of the city or village in which the area is designated; or
(v) the area has had either stable or decreasing population based on the last two
decennial censuses. In no event shall a city of the metropolitan, primary, or first class
designate more than thirty-five percent of the city as blighted, a city of the second
class shall not designate an area larger than fifty percent of the city as blighted, and
a village shall not designate an area larger than one hundred percent of the village
as blighted. A redevelopment project involving a formerly used defense site as
authorized under section 18-2123.01 shall not count towards the percentage
limitations contained in this subdivision;”
“Extremely blighted area means a substandard and blighted area in which: (a) The
average rate of unemployment in the area during the period covered by the most
recent federal decennial census is at least two hundred percent of the average rate
of unemployment in the state during the same period; and (b) the average poverty
rate in the area exceeds twenty percent for the total federal census tract or tracts or
federal census block group or block groups in the area;”
“Substandard area means an area in which there is a predominance of buildings or
improvements, whether nonresidential or residential in character, which, by reason of
dilapidation, deterioration, age or obsolescence, inadequate provision for
ventilation, light, air, sanitation, or open spaces, high density of population and
overcrowding, or the existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire
and other causes, or any combination of such factors, is conducive to ill health,
transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency, and crime, (which
cannot be remedied through construction of prisons), and is detrimental to the public
health, safety, morals, or welfare; and”
“Workforce housing means:
(a) Housing that meets the needs of today's working families;
(b) Housing that is attractive to new residents considering relocation to a rural community;
(c) Owner-occupied housing units that cost not more than two hundred seventy-five
thousand dollars to construct or rental housing units that cost not more than two
hundred thousand dollars per unit to construct. For purposes of this subdivision (c),
housing unit costs shall be updated annually by the Department of Economic
Development based upon the most recent increase or decrease in the Producer Price
Index for all commodities, published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau
of Labor Statistics;
(d) Owner-occupied and rental housing units for which the cost to substantially rehabilitate
exceeds fifty percent of a unit's assessed value; and
(e) Upper-story housing.”
This Blight and Substandard Study is being considered a “micro-blight” area under the definition
established by the City of Grand Island. The Study is intended to give the Grand Island
Community Redevelopment Authority, Hall County Regional Planning Commission and Grand
Island City Council the basis for identifying and declaring Blighted and Substandard conditions
existing within the City’s jurisdiction and as allowed under Chapter 18. Through this process, the
City and property owners will be attempting to address economic and/or social liabilities which
are harmful to the well-being of the entire community.

The study area can be seen in Figure 1 of this report. A Redevelopment Plan to be submitted in
the future containing, in accordance with the law, definite local objectives regarding
appropriate land uses, improved traffic, public transportation, public utilities and other public
improvements, and the proposed land uses and building requirements in the redevelopment
area and shall include:
• The boundaries defining the blighted and substandard areas in question (including existing
uses and conditions of the property within the area), and
• A list of the conditions present, which qualify the area as blighted and substandard.
BLIGHT AND SUBSTANDARD ELIGIBILITY STUDY
This study targets a specific area within an established part of the community for evaluation. The
area is indicated in Figure 1 of this report. The existing uses in this Micro-blight include residential
uses including accessory uses within the corporate limits of Grand Island.
Through the redevelopment process the City of Grand Island can guide future development
and redevelopment throughout the area. The use of the Community Redevelopment Act by the
City of Grand Island is intended to redevelop and improve the area. Using the Community
Redevelopment Act, the City of Grand Island can assist in the elimination of negative conditions
and implement different programs/projects identified for the City.
The following is the description of the designated area within Grand Island.

The term “Land Use” refers to the developed uses in place within a building or on a specific
parcel of land. The number and type of uses are constantly changing within a community and
produce a number of impacts either benefitting or detracting from the community. Existing
patterns of land use are often fixed in older communities and neighborhoods, while
development in newer areas is often reflective of current development practices.
Existing Land Use Analysis within Study Area
As part of the planning process, a survey was conducted through both in-field observations, as
well as data collection online using the Hall County Assessors website. This survey noted the use
of each parcel of land within the study area. These data from the survey are analyzed in the
following paragraphs.

This section of the study examines the conditions found in the study area. The Findings Section
will review the conditions based upon the statutory definitions.
CONTRIBUTING FACTORS
There were a number of conditions examined and evaluated in the field and online. There are a
number of conditions that will be reviewed in detail, on the following pages, while some of the
statutory conditions are not present.
Structural Conditions
Structural conditions were evaluated, structures were either rated as: Very Good, Good, Fair,
Average, or badly worn. The data and rating system comes from the Hall County Assessor’s
database and is the same database used to value properties in the area.

Normal Condition
Below Normal
Poor
Based upon the data provided to the planning team, the following is the breakdown for
structures in the study area:
• 0 ( 0.0%) structures rated as very good
• 0 ( 0.0%) structures rated as good
• 0 ( 0.0%) structure rated as fair
• 8 (66.7%) structures rated as average
• 4 ( 33.3%) structure rated as badly worn

Note: Lines and Aerial may not match.
Based upon these data, an assumption has been made that average condition and less would
constitute less than desirable conditions due to age and conditions. It is common for older
structures to get more maintenance and upkeep in order to maintain a good or higher
condition. Even an average structure will show some signs of deteriorating which in turn can
become a dilapidated structure in the future if it is not addressed over time. Overall, 100.0% of
the structures in this study area are below normal condition or worse based upon the Hall
County Assessor’s data.
Due to the stated conditions found in the Hall County Assessor’s data, the condition of the
structure is a contributing factor.

Deterioration of Site or Other Improvements
Site Improvements Conditions
The only site improvements within the study area are between Block 1 and 2 along Ada Street.
Based upon review of images of the study area, Figure 4 was created. The Figure indicates:
• 100% of the road surfaces serving this study area are considered in an average to below
average condition.
• 100.0% of the curb and gutter are in an average to deteriorating condition
• Approximately 50.0% of the sidewalk is in a deteriorating state
Based upon the field analysis, there are sufficient elements present to meet the definition of
deterioration of site and other improvements in the Study Area.
Dangerous conditions to life or property due to fire or other causes
The properties within this study have existing conditions which can be considered to be
dangerous conditions to life or property due to fire or other causes.
• Along the Ada Street side of Block 2 there is considerable rubble lying in the right-of-way
• Both properties have considerable debris

City of Grand Island, Nebraska • May 2020 Page 7
Stable or decreasing population based on the last two decennial censuses
The Dawn Subdivision was originally platted in 1890. However, the buildings constructed within
this study area were constructed around 1985. Therefore, the overall population of this study has
been zero and has had no growth during the last two decennial censuses.
Blighting Summary
These conditions are contributing to the blighted conditions of the study area.
Criteria under Part A of the Blight Definition
• Substantial number of deteriorating structures
o Within the study are 100.0% of the structures were deemed to be in either below normal
or poor condition.
• Deterioration of site or other improvements
o 100% of the road surfaces serving this study area are considered in an average to below
average condition.
o 100.0% of the curb and gutter are in an average to deteriorating condition
o Approximately 50.0% of the sidewalk is in a deteriorating state
• Dangerous conditions to life or property due to fire or other causes
o All of the lots within the study area contain rubble and/or materials throughout the
properties that are dangerous to life or property.
Criteria under Part B of the Blight Definition
• Stable or decreasing population based upon the last two decennial census
There has been zero population change during the past two decennial censuses.
The other criteria for Blight were not present in the area, these included:
• The average age of the residential or commercial units in the area is at least forty years
• Faulty Lot Layout
• Improper Subdivision or Obsolete Platting
• Combination of factors which are impairing and/or arresting sound growth
• Insanitary and Unsafe Conditions
• Defective/Inadequate street layouts
• Tax or special assessment delinquency exceeding fair value of the land.
• Defective or unusual condition of title,
• Unemployment in the designated area is at least 120% of the state or national average.
• The per capita income of the area is lower than the average per capita income of the city
or village in which the area is designated.
These issues were either not present or were limited enough as to have little impact on the
overall condition of the study area.
