Staff Contact: Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 13 / 173 Agenda Item #4 PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION: September 24, 2021 SUBJECT: Redevelopment plan for property located in Blight and Substandard Area 32 for a Site Specific Redevelopment Plan for property located south of Old Potash Highway and west of North Road, part of the NE ¼ of the NE ¼ of Section 23, Township 11 north, Range 10 west of the 6th PM (26 acres more or less) being platted as Jaxson Subdivision in Grand Island, in Hall County, Nebraska to support this development. (C-01-2022GI) PROPOSAL: 3MJR LLC, has an option to purchase this property as shown in the plan and is proposing to redevelop this property with 192 units of age restricted rental units in buildings with 3 or 5 apartments per building. The property currently zoned LLR Large Lot Residential Zone but an application is pending to change the zoning to RD Residential Development Zone if this project is approved. The RD zone and proposed density of 192 units on 26 acres or 7.38 units per acre is well within the planned low to medium density residential future land use designation on this property in the Comprehensive Development Plan. Typical low to medium density development would be 4 to 14 units per acre. 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. It is anticipated that this property would be used for residential uses. This area has already been declared blighted and substandard by the CRA, the Hall County Regional Planning Commission and the Grand Island City Council. This project is consistent with the future land use map and the proposed zoning for this area within the City of Grand Island. This is evident by the fact that the property is planned for low to medium density zoning and the 7.38 units per acre fall in the mid range between 4 and 14 units per acre. The proposed RD zone limits the size and style of units to be built to what has been proposed and approved with the development. The Regional Planning Commission recommendation is limited to the appropriateness of the proposed use at this location. The Grand Island Comprehensive Plan calls low to medium density residential development here. 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 Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 14 / 173 with the comprehensive plan. The proposed use for age restricted residential development 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. ___________________ Chad Nabity AICP, Planning Director Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 15 / 173 Redevelopment Plan Amendment Grand Island CRA Area 32 September 2021 The Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) of the City of Grand Island intends to amend the Redevelopment Plan for Area 32 with in the city, pursuant to the Nebraska Community Development Law (the “Act”) and provide for the financing of a specific infrastructure related project in Area 32.

The use of Tax Increment Financing is an integral part of the development plan and necessary to make this project affordable. The 2020 Housing Study for the City of Grand Island identified a need of 222 owner occupied and 237 rental units for the 55+ population by 2024. This project with rents commensurate with market conditions would not be possible without the use of Tax Increment Financing. 3MJR LLC – has an option to purchase this property that will expire in November of 2021 if the project is not approved. The developer is responsible for and has provided evidence that they can secure adequate debt financing to cover the costs associated with the construction of units. The Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) intends to pledge the ad valorem taxes generated over multiple 15 year periods beginning January 1, 2022 towards the allowable costs and associated financing for the development of this property. TAX INCREMENT FINANCING TO PAY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY WILL COME FROM THE FOLLOWING REAL PROPERTY: Property Description (the “Redevelopment Project Area”) Legal Descriptions: Property being platted as Jaxson Subdivision in the City of Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska.

No single property will be eligible for TIF for a period of more than 15 years. The real property ad valorem taxes on the current valuation will continue to be paid to the normal taxing entities.

Redevelopment Plan Amendment Complies with the Act: Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 18 / 173 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. The Redevelopment Project Area has been declared blighted and substandard by action of the Grand Island City Council on June 22, 2021.[§18-2109] Such declaration was made after a public hearing with full compliance with the public notice requirements of §18-2115 of the Act. 2.

This redevelopment plan amendment and project are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, in that no changes in the Comprehensive Plan elements are intended. This plan merely provides funding for the developer to rehabilitate the building for permitted uses on this property as defined by the current and effective zoning regulations. The Hall County Regional Planning Commission held a public hearing at their meeting on October 6, 2021 and passed Resolution 2021-01 confirming that this project is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Grand Island. The Grand Island Public School District has submitted a formal request to the Grand Island CRA to notify the District any time a TIF project involving a housing subdivision and/or apartment complex is proposed within the District. The school district was notified of this plan amendment prior to it being submitted to the CRA for initial consideration. 3. The Redevelopment Plan must be sufficiently complete to address the following items: [§18-2103(13) (b)] a. Land Acquisition: This Redevelopment Plan for Area 32 provides for real property acquisition and this plan amendment does not prohibit such acquisition.

Changes to zoning, street layouts and grades or building codes or ordinances or other Planning changes. The area is zoned LLR Large Lot Residential but the future land use map calls for low to medium density residential. The applicant has submitted a plan for a residential development zone that would not exceed the density allowed in the medium density zoning district (14 units per acre on 26 acres would be 364 units). The plan for the residential development zone will be presented to planning commission and council along with the request for TIF. New private streets are anticipated and needed to support this project and it is anticipated that TIF revenues will offset the costs of those improvements. No changes are anticipated in building codes or other ordinances. No other planning changes contemplated. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111] e. Site Coverage and Intensity of Use The proposed zoning as an RD zone allows for up to 42 units per acre if approved. The proposed development will be 7.38 units per acre. The proposed development if approved as submitted will meet those coverage and intensity of use requirements of the RD zone. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111] f. Additional Public Facilities or Utilities Sanitary sewer and water are available to support this development. Both sanitary sewer and water will need to be extended throughout the site.

[§18-2106] No members of the authority or staff of the CRA have any interest in this property. 6. 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.

No families will be displaced as a result of this plan. 7. 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 Authority has considered these elements in proposing this Plan. This amendment, in and of itself will promote consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. This will have the intended result of preventing recurring elements of unsafe buildings and blighting conditions.

The developer is anticipating construction of 32 units per year though this may be adjusted for market demand. It is anticipated that the units in this development will be built in 2034 with the tax increment on those homes extending to 2049. Excess valuation should be available for the first homes built with this project for 15 years beginning with the 2023 tax year. 9. Justification of Project The 2020 housing study for the City of Grand Island projected that by 2024 we would need an additional 1361 new housing units, 222 of those should be 55+ owner occupied and 237 should be 55+ rental units. Between January 1 of 2020 and July of 2021 permits for 305 new housing units had bee issued. The current housing market, a combination of the cost of producing housing and the prevailing wages, has not created a situation that gives the markets sufficient incentive to build the number housing units required to meet community needs. This lack of housing options impacts a variety of other areas within the community including work force development, overcrowding, maintenance of residential units and rents. This project will create new housing options for the 55+ citizens of Grand Island and will likely result in the sale of existing homes around the city. 10. Cost Benefit Analysis Section 18-2113 of the Act, further requires the Authority conduct a cost benefit analysis of the plan amendment in the event that Tax Increment Financing will be used. This analysis must address specific statutory issues. As authorized in the Nebraska Community Development Law, §18-2147, Neb. Rev. Stat. (2019), the City of Grand Island has analyzed the costs and benefits of the proposed Redevelopment Project, including: Project Sources and Uses. Approximately $7,460,038 in public funds from tax increment financing provided by the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority will be required to complete the project. This investment by the Authority will leverage $27,654,611 in private sector financing; a private investment of $3.71 for every TIF dollar invested. Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 23 / 173 Use of Funds. Source of Funds Description TIF Funds Private Funds Total Site Acquisition $ 780,870 $780,870 Building Costs $23,122,640 $23,122,640 Sewer $1,658,457 $1,654,457 Water $806,794 $806,794 Electric $589,329 $589,329 Public Streets/Sidewalks $1,319,540 $822,006 $2,141,546 Private Streets $1,596,432 $1,596,432 Trails $87,413 $87,413 Site preparation/Dirt Work $2,060,487 $2,060487 Architecture/Engineering $81,800 $81,800 Financing Fees/ Audit $1,511,980 $1,511,980 Legal/TIF Contract $72,248 $72,248 other (ROW Landsjacaping/Parks) $601,553 $601,553 Govt. Fees and Expenses $3,100 $3,100 Total $7,460,038 $27,654,611 $35,114,649 Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped is anticipated to have a January 1, 2020, valuation of approximately $114,694. Based on the 2020 levy this would result in a real property tax of approximately $2,263. It is anticipated that the assessed value will increase by $25,805,306 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $497,000 annually. The tax increment gained from this Redevelopment Project Area would not be available for use as city general tax revenues, for the period of the bonds, but would be used for eligible private redevelopment costs to enable this project to be realized. Estimated 2020 assessed value: $ 114,694 Estimated value after completion $ 25,920,000 Increment value $ 25,805,306 Annual TIF generated (estimated) $ 497,336 TIF bond issue $ $7,460,038 Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 24 / 173 (a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing; The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $114,694. The proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $25,805,306 over the course of the next twelve years. The project creates additional valuation that will support taxing entities long after the project is paid off along with providing 192 additional housing for persons 55 and older. The tax shift from this project will be equal to the total of the bond principal of $7,460,038 if fully funded and any associated interest on the bond to be assigned with contract approval. (b) Public infrastructure and community public service needs impacts and local tax impacts arising from the approval of the redevelopment project; Existing water and waste water facilities will not be negatively impacted by this development. The electric utility has sufficient capacity to support the development. This is infill development with services connecting to existing line with capacity. This development is unlikely to result in a larger number of students in the Shoemaker Elementary School service area since it is restricted to individuals 55 years old and older. Fire and police protection are available and should not be negatively impacted by this development though there will be some increased need for officers and fire fighters as the City continues to grow whether from this project or others. Housing of the type proposed is unlikely to attract families to the neighborhood. It is unlikely that this housing bring additional school age children to the area. (c) Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding within the boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project; This will provide additional housing options for the residents of Grand Island. The National Homebuilders Association estimated in a 2008 study that each unit of multifamily housing resulted in 1.16 full time equivalent jobs so this development at 32 units per year would represent an additional 37 FTE’s within the city for the next six years. (d) Impacts on other employers and employees within the city or village and the immediate area that are located outside of the boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project; and This project will not have a negative impact on other employers different from any other expanding business within the Grand Island area. Grand Island does have tight labor market and part of that is due to the availability and cost of housing. This development may help alleviate some of those pressures. Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 25 / 173 (e) Impacts on student populations of school districts within the City or Village: This development will have a minimal impact on the Grand Island School system and will likely not result in additional students at the elementary and secondary school levels. All of the units in this development will be restricted to persons 55 and over. This housing will not provide housing for any school age children. The Grand Island Public School System was notified on August 24, 2021 that the CRA would be considering this application at their September 8, 2021 meeting. (f) Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project. This project is consistent the goals of the 2020 Housing Study for the City of Grand Island to create more than 1361 new housing units, 222 of those should be 55+ owner occupied and 237 should be 55+ rental units. Between January of 2020 and July of 2021 the City of Grand Island has issue permits for 305 housing units. The local housing market is not capable of producing the number of units needed at market rate given the costs of building and development. Time Frame for Development Development of this project is anticipated to be completed during between Spring of 2022 and the end of 2034. The base tax year should be calculated on the value of the property as of January 1, 2022 for the first phase with each phase based on the preceding year’s valuation of the property included in the amendment for that year. Excess valuation should be available for this project beginning in 2022 with taxes due in 2023. Excess valuation will be used to pay the TIF Indebtedness issued by the CRA per the contract between the CRA and the developer for a period not to exceed 15 years on each property or an amount not to exceed $7,460,038 the projected amount of increment based upon the anticipated value of the project and current tax rate. Based on the estimates of the expenses of the rehabilitation the developer will spend at least $8,200,000 on TIF eligible activities.

Staff Contact: Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 28 / 173 Agenda Item # 5 PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION: September 28, 2021 SUBJECT: Zoning Change (C-02-2021GI) PROPOSAL: Change of Zoning for property, proposed for platting as Jaxson Subdivision, located in Part of the Northeast Quarter of the Northeast Quarter (NE1/4, NE1/4) of Section Twenty-Three (23), Township Eleven (11) North, Range Ten (10) West of the 6th P.M., in Hall County, Nebraska. Located south of Old Potash Highway and west of North Road in Grand Island, Nebraska. (17 lots, 26.029 acres), from LLR Large Lot Residential and RD Residential Development (C-02-2021GI) OVERVIEW: Site Analysis Current zoning designation: LLR Large Lot Residential Zone Permitted and conditional uses: LLR Agricultural uses, recreational uses and residential uses at a density of 2 dwelling units per acre. Minimum lot size 20,000 square feet. Comprehensive Plan Designation: Low to Medium Density Residential Use Existing land uses. Farm Ground Adjacent Properties Analysis Current zoning designations: North, South & East: LLR- Large Lot Residential West R2- Low Density Residential Permitted and conditional uses: LLR Agricultural uses, recreational uses and residential uses at a density of 2 dwelling units per acre. Minimum lot size 20,000 square feet. R2 Residential uses at a density of 7 dwelling units per acre. Comprehensive Plan Designation: North, South, East & West: Low to Medium Density Residential Use Existing land uses: North & South: Single Family Residential East: Vacant Owned the City for Drainage/Detention between this property and North Road. West: Farm Ground Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 29 / 173 EVALUATION: Positive Implications:  Consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan: The subject property is designated for Low to Medium Density Residential. The proposed density is 7.38 units per acre.  Accessible to Existing Municipal Infrastructure: Water and sewer services are available to service the area. Sanitary sewer and water are both available along the north side of the property.  Provides Additional Housing Opportunities: This development will add age restricted housing for 55+ individuals. The 2020 Grand Island Housing Study identified a need for 459 senior housing units (222 owner occupied and 237 rental units) to be constructed between 2020 and 2025. This development will result in 192 senior rental units the next 6-12 years.  Is infill development. This development is using property that is within the existing functional and legal boundaries of the City of Grand Island.  Monetary Benefit to Applicant: Would allow the applicant to develop this property. Negative Implications:  Additional Traffic on Old Potash Highway. The proposed subdivision would have two drives onto Old Potash Highway and all traffic produced by the development will enter and exit onto this street. The street is a section line road and an arterial street intended for this type and level of traffic. Other RECOMMENDATION: That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Grand Island City approve the change of zoning from LLR Large Lot Residential Zone to RD Residential Development Zone as presented along with the Preliminary and Final Plats for Jaxson Subdivision. ___________________ Chad Nabity AICP, Planning Director Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 30 / 173 Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 31 / 173 40'(M)40'(M) N89°55'08"E 475.03'(M) 40'(M) N89°55'08"E 162.00'(M)S00°04'52"E 403.88'(M)N89°55'08"E 186.41'(M)812.39'(M)804.47'(M)N89°55'08"E 162.00'(M)N00°04'37"W 409.57'(M)S00°04'37"E 409.16'(M)N00°04'52"W 404.29'(M)N89°55'08"E 162.00'(M) N89°55'08"E 162.00'(M) OUTLOT A 162.01'(M)255'(M)186'(M) N89°55'08"E 186.42'(M) N89°55'08"E 186.42'(M) N89°55'08"E 186.42'(M) N89°55'08"E 220.00'(M) N89°55'08"E 220.00'(M) N89°55'08"E 220.00'(M)N89°55'08"E 255.01'(M) N89°55'08"E 255.02'(M) N89°55'08"E 255.02'(M) 220'(M)98'(M)98'(M)98'(M)117.23'(M)S89°29'35"E 903.47'(M)107.96'(M)98'(M)98'(M)98'(M)98'(M)98'(M)98'(M)115.57'(M)115.16'(M)98'(M)98'(M)98'(M)255.03'(M)220'(M)98'(M)98'(M)98'(M) 110.29'(M) LOT 1 LOT 2 LOT 3 LOT 4 LOT 8 LOT 7 LOT 6 LOT 5 LOT 12 LOT 11 LOT 10 LOT 9 LOT 16 LOT 15 LOT 14 LOT 13112.54'(M)98'(M)98'(M)98'(M)109.88'(M)98'(M)98'(M)98'(M)40'(M)1316.3'(R) 1316.17'(R1)S89°30'16"E 1316.13'(M)S89°29'35"E 1316.37'(M) 1316.3'(R) 1316.17'(R1)S00°05'51"E 1333.74'(M)N00°04'37"W 1335.71'(M)S89°29'35"E 903.47'(M)S00°04'49"E 1254.36'(M)N89°34'44"W 903.44'(M)N00°04'52"W 1255.71'(M)N89°29'35"W 412.90'(M,D) N89°34'44"W 1316.82'(M) 1316.83'(P) N00°00'54"W 80.00'(M) NOT TO SCALESEC. 23, T11N, R10W NORTH 1/4 CORNER, SEC 23-T11N-R10WFOUND ALUMINUM CAP AT GRADE IN CENTERLINE EAST-WEST ASPHALT ROAD N 31.24' TO MAG NAIL w/WASHER IN POWER POLE S 34.31' TO MAG NAIL w/WASHER IN GUY POLE SW 54.63' TO MAG NAIL w/WASHER INN POWER POLESW 68.76' TO NEAR FACE OF EAST LEG OF GAS REGULATOR NORTH 1/16 CORNER, NE1/4, SEC 23-T11N-R10W FOUND MAG NAIL w/WASHER AT GRADE IN EAST-WEST ASPHALT ROAD ONCENTERLINE OF ROAD S 35.37' TO NAIL W/SHINER IN GUY POLE N 32.46' TO NAIL w/SHINER IN POWER POLE SW 46.63' TO 'X' NORTH SIDE SANITARY MANHOLE RIM NORTHEAST CORNER, SEC 23-T11N-R10W FOUND ALUMINUM CAP IN ROCK PILE OF ROUND-A-BOUT AT NORTH ROAD AND OLD POTASH HWYNW 29.09' TO MAG NAIL IN CONCRETE CURB SE 28.97' TO MAG NAIL IN CONCRETE CURB NE 25.93' T MAG NAIL IN CONCRETE LID OF CURB INLETWSW 25.83' TO MAG NAIL IN CONCRETE LID OF CURB INLETSW 87.63' TO TOP OPERATION NUT ON FIRE HYDRANT CENTER 1/16 CORNER, NE1/4 SEC 23-T11N-R10W SET 5/8" REBAR w/PSC LS 674 AT GRADE ON SOUTH TOP OF DRAINAGE DITCH N 80.00' TO 1/2" IRON PIPE w/PSC SSW 25.95' TO MAG NAIL IN SPLIT RAIL FENCE POST SSW 35.69' TO MAG NAIL IN SPLIT RAIL FENCE POST EAST 1/16 CORNER, NE1/4 SEC 23-T11N-R10W FOUND 1" IRON BAR 0.2' BELOW GRADE IN NORTH-SOUTH ASPHALT ROAD ON CENTERLINE OF ROAD WNW34.91' TO MAG NAIL w/WASHER IN BRACE POST W 33.52' TO MAG NAIL w/WASHER IN CORNER FENCE POST SE 55.56' TO RED HEAD NAIL IN POWER POLE SOUTH 1/16 CORNER, NE1/4 SEC 23-T11N-R10W FOUND 'U' POST, 0.2' ABOVE GRADE IN LINE w/EAST-WEST FENCELINE WSW 21.10' TO PIPE ESE 3.60' TO NAIL IN FENCE POSTESE 11.60' TO NAIL IN FENCE POST OWNERS: ERIC M. & KENDA D.

(C-04-2023GI) Staff Contact: Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 50 / 173 Agenda Item #6 PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION: September 27, 2021 SUBJECT: Future Land Use Map Change (C-04-2022GI) PROPOSAL: This application includes approximately 200 acres of land north of Husker Highway and west of Prairieview Street. Innate Development LLC has an option to purchase and develop this property. A redevelopment plan requesting Tax Increment Financing is also being considered. If the redevelopment plan and this amendment are approved Innate Development LLC will forward a request to rezone the property in a manner consistent with the proposed development. As shown on the map below the southern 160 acres is planned for low to medium density residential and the 40 acres at the northwest corner is shown as manufacturing. The property is located within the Grand Island municipal limits. OVERVIEW The applicant is requesting two amendments to the Grand Island Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use map on this property. The first would extend the possibility of Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 51 / 173 commercial and residential development along Husker Highway from Prairieview Street to west edge of the property on the south 80 acres. The second is to change the proposed future use of the northern portion of this property from manufacturing to mixed use manufacturing and low to medium density residential as part of this application. These changes as proposed will allow for some flexibility in the development across the property. Along the southern side the extension of commercial development along Husker Highway and into the planned neighborhood for the creation of a neighborhood commercial node and a transition from the existing commercial development on the east side of Prairieview Street. On the north 40 acres this will allow the developer to plan the transition between the planned residential development on the south and the more industrial nature of the property to the north and east. A map of the requested changes is shown below. Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 52 / 173 EVALUATION: The Grand Island Comprehensive Plan and this Future Land Use Map were approved in 2004. The development anticipated at the corner of Husker Highway and U.S. Highway 281 was Highway Commercial extending ¼ mile to the west from that intersection. With the development of the hospital and the surrounding area we are seeing support for that development. This property was not in the Grand Island City Limits at the time of the plan and was largely shown as low to medium density residential with more low to medium density residential to the west. The nature of the area has changed with the development of the hospital and will continue to change over the next several years. Based on the existing development in the area it is appropriate to consider changes to the future land use map that would allow for more of a transition between the 281 corridor on the east and Heartland Lutheran High School, the residential development in the Mary Lane subdivision and Cedar Hills Park. The proposed changes facilitate that transition and will allow for the creation of a mixed use neighborhood between the Highway 281 and North Road. RECOMMENDATION: That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Grand Island City Council change the Future Land Use Component of the Grand Island Comprehensive Plan. ___________________ Chad Nabity AICP, Planning Director Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 53 / 173 Hall County Regional Planning Commission Wednesday, October 6, 2021 Regular Meeting Item F4 Public Hearing - Redevelopment Plan - Grand Island. Public Hearing Concerning a redevelopment plan for CRA Area No. 33 to allow for mixed-use development of property located north of Husker Highway and west of Prairieview Street Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska. Resolution 2022-02 (C-02-2022GI) Staff Contact: Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 54 / 173 Agenda Item #7 PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION: September 24, 2021 SUBJECT: Redevelopment plan amendment for property located in Blight and Substandard Area 33 for a Site Specific Redevelopment Plan for property located north of Husker Highway and west of Prairieview Street, in Grand Island, in Hall County, Nebraska to support this development. (C-03-2022GI) PROPOSAL: Innate Development LLC, has an option to purchase 200 acres of property north and west of the Grand Island Regional Hospital and is proposing to redevelop this property for a mix of residential and commercial uses. The property is currently zoned R-2 low density residential and M1 light manufacturing zones. The developers have proposed an amendment to the Future Land Use Map for the City of Grand Island to show property along Husker Highway west of Prairieview Street as planned for mixed use commercial that would allow for a mix of commercial and residential uses as well as a change in the very northwest corner of the property from manufacturing to mixed use manufacturing to allow for a transition between the Case New Holland site and this property. Provided those changes are made the proposed uses will be consistent with the plan for this property. 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 Grand Island City Council. This project is consistent with the proposed zoning and future land use map for this area within the City of Grand Island. The proposed future land use map under consideration would show a combination of mixed use commercial, low to medium density residential and mixed use manufacturing across the 200 acre site. The property will be rezoned as development is brought forward for approval. The Regional Planning Commission recommendation is limited to the appropriateness of the proposed uses at this location. If amended as requested the Grand Island Comprehensive Plan will be consistent with the proposed development. 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 is supported by the plan if the proposed amendments are approved. Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 55 / 173 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. ___________________ Chad Nabity AICP, Planning Director Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 56 / 173 Redevelopment Plan Amendment Grand Island CRA Area 33 August 2021 The Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) of the City of Grand Island intends to amend the Redevelopment Plan for Area 33 with in the city, pursuant to the Nebraska Community Development Law (the “Act”) and provide for the financing of a specific infrastructure related project in Area 33. Executive Summary: Project Description THE REDEVELOPMENT APPROXIMATELY 200 ACRES OF PROPERTY LOCATED WEST OF PRAIRIEVIEW STREET AND NORTH OF HUSKER HIGHWAY IN SOUTHWESTST GRAND ISLAND FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A WALKABLE MIXED USE COMMUNITY (DETACHED SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, ATTACHED SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL, NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE COMMERICAL, AND RECREATIONAL USES) WHILE PROTECTING PRESERVING AND ENHANCING THE NATURAL WETLANDS ON THE PROPERTY. THIS WILL BE A MULTI-PHASE DEVELOPMENT WITH A REDEVELOPEMENT PLAN AMENDMENT FOR EACH PHASE OF THE DEVELOPMENT TO BE APPROVED SEPARATELY. This plan is intended as a general development plan for the entire 200 acre tract included in the legal description below. It is also the site specific redevelopment plan for the first phase (Husker Highway 2022) of this project at the southeast corner of this this property that includes multifamily residential, attached single family residential, neighborhood scale commercial development significant portions of the storm water and drainage infrastructure to support the full development. Amenities for the neighborhood and community including hike bike trail extensions and green space will also be a part of the Husker Highway 2022 phase of this development. The use of Tax Increment Financing to aid in redevelopment expenses associated with platting and installing the necessary infrastructure (streets, sanitary sewer, water, and storm sewer) for the development of a club house and 140 one and two bedroom apartments in 10 unit buildings, 33 attached single family homes (2 and 3 bedroom townhomes) and 8 two story commercial buildings with 2000 square feet on each floor in the Husker Highway 2022 phase. The use of Tax Increment Financing is an integral part of the development plan and necessary to make this project feasible as presented. The proposed development does not maximize the number of units that can be built on the property but maximize the livability of the neighborhood by creating a walkable neighborhood with a mix of housing types and recreation features scattered throughout the development. It is anticipated that the Husker Highway 2022 phase of this development will take up to 5 years to complete and that the next phase will likely begin before the last of this one has being developed. It is unlikely that full development of this Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 57 / 173 site will be done in less than 15 years and could easily extend to 30 or more years based on the history of large developments in Grand Island. Innate Development 2, LLC has an option to purchase the full 200 acres upon approval of the Husker Highway 2022 phase of this project. This is property has an old farm house and farm buildings, wetlands and crop ground. The property was annexed in 2011 and has not had any development prospects make application for development since its annexation. The developer is responsible for and has provided evidence that they can secure adequate debt financing to cover the costs associated with this project. The Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) intends to pledge the ad valorem taxes generated over multiple 15 year periods beginning January 1, 2023 towards the allowable costs and associated financing for redevelopment of this property. TAX INCREMENT FINANCING TO PAY FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY WILL COME FROM THE FOLLOWING REAL PROPERTY: Property Description (the “Redevelopment Project Area”) Legal Descriptions: The SE ¼ of the NW ¼ and the E ½ of the SW ¼ and the W ½ of the SE ¼ of 25-11-10 (Parcels 400201089 and 400201097) in the City of Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska. Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 58 / 173 Existing Land Use and Subject Property Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 59 / 173 The tax increment on Husker Highway 2022 will be captured for the tax years the payments for which become delinquent in years 2023 through 2044 inclusive. The TIF contract will be structured so it can be amended each year for up to five years to add the buildings to be completed during that year. No single building will be eligible for TIF for a period of more than 15 years. The real property ad valorem taxes on the current valuation will continue to be paid to the normal taxing entities. The increase will come from development of the property for a mix of residential and commercial uses in the project area to be permitted as the project progresses. Statutory Pledge of Taxes. In accordance with Section 18-2147 of the Act and the terms of the Resolution providing for the issuance of the TIF Note, the Authority hereby provides that any ad valorem tax on the Redevelopment Project Area for the benefit of any public body be divided for a period of fifteen years after the effective date of this provision as set forth in the Redevelopment Contract or redevelopment contract amendment, consistent with this Redevelopment Plan. This plan anticipates that the whole 200 acre project will be developed in several phases with a redevelopment plan amendment specific to each phase of the development. The first phase is included with this general plan and referred to as Husker Highway 2022. The Husker Highway 2022 plan anticipates that buildings constructed each year of the development will constitute new effective date for the purposes of determining the period of fifteen years. Improvements for the overall development may be constructed prior to the development of later phases and eligible expenses from those improvements not covered by early phases may be applied to later phases for reimbursement by TIF funds generated in the later phases. Said taxes shall be divided as follows: a. That portion of the ad valorem tax which is produced by levy at the rate fixed each year by or for each public body upon the redevelopment project valuation shall be paid into the funds, of each such public body in the same proportion as all other taxes collected by or for the bodies; and b. That portion of the ad valorem tax on real property in the redevelopment project in excess of such amount, if any, shall be allocated to and, when collected, paid into a special fund of the Authority to pay the principal of; the interest on, and any premiums due in connection with the bonds, loans, notes, or advances on money to, or indebtedness incurred by, whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise, such Authority for financing or refinancing, in whole or in part, a redevelopment project. When such bonds, loans, notes, advances of money, or indebtedness including interest and premium due have been paid, the Authority shall so notify the County Assessor and County Treasurer and all ad valorem taxes upon real property in such redevelopment project shall be paid into the funds of the respective public bodies. Pursuant to Section 18-2150 of the Act, the ad valorem tax so divided is hereby pledged to the repayment of loans or advances of money, or the incurring of any indebtedness, Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 60 / 173 whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise, by the CRA to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, the redevelopment project, including the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such bonds, loans, notes, advances, or indebtedness. Redevelopment Plan Amendment 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. The Redevelopment Project Area has been declared blighted and substandard by action of the Grand Island City Council on August 26, 2021.[§18-2109] Such declaration was made after a public hearing with 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. It is anticipated that changes to future land use map in the Grand Island Comprehensive Plan will be necessary to accommodate this development as anticipated. Those changes should be considered with the approval of each site specific development plan or with a complete update to the comprehensive plan. The initial phase of this project including the multifamily and attached single family residential units is consistent with the planned development of housing at up to 14 units per acre. The neighborhood commercial was not anticipated for the particular area but is consistent with the level of service of Husker Highway and the commercial properties developing to the east of this site. The Hall County Regional Planning Commission held a public hearing at their meeting on October 6, 2021 and passed Resolution 2022-02 confirming that this project is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Grand Island, supporting this project and necessary changes to the plan for the development as planned. The Grand Island Public School District has submitted a formal request to the Grand Island CRA to notify the District any time a TIF project involving a housing subdivision and/or apartment complex is proposed within the District. The school district was notified of this plan amendment prior to it being submitted to the CRA for initial consideration. 3. The Redevelopment Plan must be sufficiently complete to address the following items: [§18-2103(13) (b)] a. Land Acquisition: This Redevelopment Plan for Area 33 provides for real property acquisition and this plan amendment does not prohibit such acquisition. There is no proposed acquisition by the authority. Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 61 / 173 b. Demolition and Removal of Structures: The project to be implemented with this plan does not provide for the demolition and removal any structures on this property. c. Future Land Use Plan See the attached map from the 2004 Grand Island Comprehensive Plan. All of the area around the site in private ownership is planned for low to medium density residential development at the south end and manufacturing in the northwest corner. It is anticipated that changes to the plan will be made to accommodate and support this development as proposed. This property is in private ownership. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111] The attached map also is an accurate site plan of the area as proposed after redevelopment with 278 single family detached lots, 25 duplex lots, 53 townhouse/condo lots, 300 units of apartments and 6.3 acres of retail and 9 acres of light industrial backing on to the industrial property to the north.. [§18-2111(5)] d. Changes to zoning, street layouts and grades or building codes or ordinances or other Planning changes. The area is zoned R-2 Low Density Residential zone and M-1 Light Manufacturing Zone. The property has historically been farmed a permitted use in both of those districts. The plan for a mixed use neighborhood at this location will require a mix of zoning changes. New streets and storm drainage are planned throughout the site as part of the development in a manner consistent with the existing development. It is anticipated that TIF revenues will offset the costs of those improvements and that some of these Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 62 / 173 improvements may be built. No changes are anticipated in building codes or ordinances. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111] e. Site Coverage and Intensity of Use The proposed development will meet the coverage and intensity of use requirements for each phase of the development as it is approved. The overall planned density of the project is less than would be permitted with no changes. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111] f. Additional Public Facilities or Utilities Sanitary sewer and water are available to support this development. Both sanitary sewer and water will need to be extended throughout the site. TIF revenues will be used to offset the cost of these public utility improvements. Electric utilities are sufficient for the proposed use of this property. Electric lines will need to be extended throughout the property. No other publicly owned utilities would be impacted by the development. §18-2103(b) and §18-2111] Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 63 / 173 City of Grand Island Future Land Use Map Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 64 / 173 Proposed Development Plan for the 200 acre site with genaral use types and amenenities with the 27.83 acres Husker Highway 2022 project highlighted Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 65 / 173 Proposed layout for Husker Highway 2022 Phase of the Proposed Development 4.

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 authority or staff of the CRA have any interest in this property. 6. 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. The developer is proposing to purchase the property for $3,000,000, this is an eligible expense for the overall project but $480,000 of this is being attributed to the Husker Highway 2022 phase and the remainder will be attributed to future phases. For the Husker Highway 2022 phase the estimated costs of grading, streets, trails, sanitary sewer, water and storm sewer is $8,370,000. Total costs for parks, and right of way landscaping $2,530,226. It is anticipated that planning activities including design, engineering and architecture for the site will exceed $2,700,000 and need to be included in Husker Highway 2022 project costs. Other eligible activities including government fees and expenses (building permits included) and legal and contract expenses are expected to be $300,000. The total of the eligible expenses for this project is estimated by the developer at $16,950,226. Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 66 / 173 No property will be transferred to redevelopers by the Authority. The developer will provide and secure all necessary financing. b. Statement of proposed method of financing the redevelopment project. The developer will provide all necessary financing for the project. The Authority will assist the Husker Highway 2022 project by granting the sum of $14,430,226 from the proceeds of the TIF. This indebtedness will be repaid from the Tax Increment Revenues generated from the project. TIF revenues shall be made available to repay the original debt and associated interest after January 1, 2023 through December 2044. c. Statement of feasible method of relocating displaced families. No families will be displaced as a result of this plan. 7. 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 Authority has considered these elements in proposing this Plan. This amendment, in and of itself will promote consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. This will have the intended result of preventing recurring elements of unsafe buildings and blighting conditions. This will accomplish the goal of increasing the number of residential units, commercial development and recreational opportunities within the City of Grand Island and encouraging infill development. 8. Time Frame for Development Development of this project is anticipated to begin in the 2022 year. The Husker Highway 2022 phase will likely be built over a five year period between 2022 and 2026 based on market demand. Excess valuation should be available for the Husker Highway 2022 project for 15 years beginning with the 2023 tax year. Additional phases of development are anticipated for the remainder of the project beginning near the Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 67 / 173 completion of the Husker Highway 2022 phase. It is anticipated that the developers will be including TIF in the capital stack of future phases but each future phase will be evaluated with a site specific redevelopment plan prior to contract approval. 9. Justification of Project The 2020 housing study for the City of Grand Island projected that by 2024 we would need an additional 1361 new housing units. Between January 1 of 2020 and July of 2021 permits for 305 new housing units had been issued leaving a need for more than 1000 additional units in the next 3 years to meet the anticipated need. The current housing market, a combination of the cost of producing housing and the prevailing wages, has not created a situation that gives the markets sufficient incentive to build the number housing units required to meet community needs. This lack of housing options impacts a variety of other areas within the community including work force development, overcrowding, maintenance of residential units and rents. 10. Cost Benefit Analysis Section 18-2113 of the Act, further requires the Authority conduct a cost benefit analysis of the plan amendment in the event that Tax Increment Financing will be used. This analysis must address specific statutory issues. As authorized in the Nebraska Community Development Law, §18-2147, Neb. Rev. Stat. (2019), the City of Grand Island has analyzed the costs and benefits of the proposed Redevelopment Project, including: Project Sources and Uses. Approximately $14,430,226 in public funds from tax increment financing provided by the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority will be required to complete the project. This investment by the Authority will leverage $46,780,250 in private sector financing; a private investment of $3.24 for every TIF and grant dollar investment. Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 68 / 173 Use of Funds. Source of Funds Description TIF Funds Private Funds Total Site Acquisition $480,000 $2,520,000 $3,000,000 Building Costs $44,210,250 $44,210,250 Sewer $645,000 $645,000 Water $305,000 $305,000 Electric $320,000 $320,000 Gas $100,000 $100,000 Public Streets/ Sidewalks/Parking $4,900,000 $4,900,000 Trails $300,000 $300,000 Site preparation/Dirt Work $1,800,000 $1,800,000 Architecture/Engineering $2,700,000 $2,700,000 Financing Fees / Audit $50,000 $50,000 $100,000 Legal/TIF Contract $100,000 $100,000 other (ROW Landscaping/Parks) $2,530,226 $2,530,226 Govt. Fees and Expenses $200,000 $200,000 Total $14,430,226 $46,780,250 $61,210,476 Tax Revenue. The 27.83 acres of this site to be redeveloped as Husker Highway 2022 is anticipated to have a January 1, 2022, valuation of approximately $80,828 based on the per acre valuation of the current parcel. Based on the 2020 levy this would result in a real property tax of approximately $1,759. It is anticipated that the assessed value will increase by $44,210,250 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $960,000 annually. The tax increment gained from this Redevelopment Project Area would not be available for use as city general tax revenues, for the period of the bonds, but would be used for eligible private redevelopment costs to enable this project to be realized. Estimated 2022 assessed value (27.83 acres): $ 80,828 Estimated value after completion $ 44,291,000 Increment value $ 44,210,000 Annual TIF generated (estimated) $ 962,000 TIF bond issue $ 14,430,226 Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 69 / 173 (a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing; The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $80,828. The proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $44,210,000 over the course of the next five years. The project creates additional valuation that will support taxing entities long after the project is paid off along with providing 173 additional housing units, neighborhood commercial space and recreational trail connections and opportunities. The tax shift from this project will be equal to the total of the bond principal of $14,430,226 if fully funded and any associated interest on the bond to be assigned with contract approval. (b) Public infrastructure and community public service needs impacts and local tax impacts arising from the approval of the redevelopment project; Existing water and waste water facilities will not be negatively impacted by this development. The electric utility has sufficient capacity to support the development. This is infill development with services connecting to existing line with capacity. This development is likely to result in a larger number of students in the Gates Elementary School service area. Fire and police protection are available and should not be negatively impacted by this development though there will be some increased need for officers and fire fighters as the City continues to grow whether from this project or others. Housing of the type proposed in Husker Highway 2022 (1 and 2 bedroom apartments and 2 bedroom townhomes) is less likely to attract families to the neighborhood than the single family detached housing proposed for later phases of this project. Overall there will be a net increase in the number of students attending the Grand Island Public School system as a result of this development. (c) Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding within the boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project; This will provide additional housing options for the residents of Grand Island. The National Homebuilders Association estimates that each new single family home is the equivalent of 2.5 full time equivalent jobs and each unit of multifamily housing results in an FTE of 1.16 job. An average of 28 apartments and 7 townhomes would produce about 48 FTE’s per year for the next 5 years. (d) Impacts on other employers and employees within the city or village and the immediate area that are located outside of the boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project; and This project will not have a negative impact on other employers different from any other expanding business within the Grand Island area. Grand Island does have tight labor market and part of that is due to the availability and cost of housing. This development may help alleviate some of those pressures. Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 70 / 173 (e) Impacts on student populations of school districts within the City or Village: This development will have an impact on the Grand Island School system and will likely result in additional students at both the elementary and secondary school levels. The average number of persons per household in Grand Island for 2015 to 2019 according the American Community Survey is 2.61. 173 additional households would house 452 people. According to the 2010 census 19.2% of the population of Grand Island was over 4 years old and under 18 years old. 2020 census number for this population cohort are not yet available but 27.6% of the 2021 population is less than 18 years of age this is the same percentage as the under 18 age cohort in 2010. If the averages hold it would be expected that there would be an additional 87 school age children generated by this development. Given the nature of the units (140- 1 and 2 bedroom apartments and 33 townhomes) proposed for Husker Highway 2022 these numbers are likely to be significantly less than for detached single family development. If this develops at a rate of 35 unit per year for 5 years approximately 16 children could be added to the school age population every year with this development. These 16 children will likely be spread over the full school age population from elementary to secondary school. According to the National Center for Educational Statistics1 the 2019-20 enrollment for GIPS was 10,070 students and the cost per student in 2017-18 was $12,351 of that $4,653 is generated locally. The Grand Island Public School System was notified on August 24, 2021 that the CRA would be considering this application at their September 8, 2021 meeting. (f) Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project. This project is consistent the goals of the 2020 Housing Study for the City of Grand Island to create more than 1300 new dwelling units by 2024. Based on the permits between January of 2020 and July of 2021 more than 1000 units still need to be built before the end of 2024 to meet the projected need. The local housing market is not capable of producing the number of units needed at market rate given the costs of building and development. Time Frame for Development Development of the Husker Highway 2022 project is anticipated to be completed during between the Spring of 2022 and the end of 2026. The base tax year should be calculated on the value of the property as of January 1, 2022 for the first phase with each phase based on the preceding year’s valuation of the property included in the amendment for that year. Excess valuation should be available for this project beginning in 2023 with taxes due in 2024. Excess valuation will be used to pay the TIF Indebtedness issued by the CRA per the contract between the CRA and the developer for a period not to exceed 15 years on each property or an amount not to exceed $14,430,226 the projected amount 1 https://nces.ed.gov/ccd/districtsearch/district_detail.asp?ID2=3100016 Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 71 / 173 of increment based upon the anticipated value of the project and current tax rate. Based on the estimates of the expenses, the developer will spend at least $14,430,226 on TIF eligible activities. It is anticipated that full development of the 200 acre site will take a minimum of 15 years thought it could take as long as 30 or more based on average development in Grand Island. Each additional project will be brought forward as an amendment to this plan.

HALL COUNTY REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION ATTEST: By: ___________________________________ Chair By: ___________________________________ Secretary Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 73 / 173 Hall County Regional Planning Commission Wednesday, October 6, 2021 Regular Meeting Item F5 Public Hearing - Request for Conservation Easement - Doniphan - Concerning a Conservation Easement comprising a part of the East Half (E1/2) of Section Thirty-Six (36), Township Ten (10) North, Range Ten (10) West of the 6th P.M. Staff Contact: Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 74 / 173 Agenda Item #8 PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION: September 24, 2021 SUBJECT: Conservation Easement C-05-2022D PROPOSAL: Harrell Farms Limited, A Nebraska Limited Partnership and The Platte River Whooping Crane Maintenance Trust, Inc have submitted a request to the Village of Doniphan for the approval of a conservation easement on property owned by Harrell Farms Limited in section 36 township 10N, Range 10W of the 6th P.M. Portions of this property are located in the zoning jurisdiction of the Village of Doniphan giving them the authority and responsibility of approving the easement. This easement is located between the north of Cedarview Road west of U.S. Highway 281. The Doniphan Village Board forwarded this matter to the planning commission per statutory requirements at their meeting on September 13, 2021. OVERVIEW: A conservation easement is being proposed for 29.08 acres of property located west of U.S. Highway 281 and north of Cedarview Road. The Whooping Crane Trust is acquiring this easement for the following reasons:  The Premises serve as critical pre-roost staging habitat for Sandhill Cranes and Whooping Cranes.  Protecting the Premises is biologically important and integral to preserving high quality Crane roost habitat as well as habitat for other migratory birds. This easement is a voluntary agreement between the property owner and The Crane Trust. Based on a strict reading of the statutes pertaining to conservation easements it appears that action by the Planning Commission and Village Board is required prior to filing the easement. A recommendation on this easement to determine conformity with the Comprehensive Plan is required by State Statutes. This recommendation is fully supported by the existing conservation easement on the property. Site Analysis Current zoning designation: AG-R-River Corridor Agricultural District (Hall County) and TA-Transitional Agriculture (Doniphan ETJ) Permitted and conditional uses: Agriculture and Recreation Related uses with specific limitations the River Overlay and Flood Plain Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 75 / 173 Comprehensive Plan Designation: River Protection Corridor (Hall County) Agricultural (Doniphan) Existing land uses: Trees and other agricultural uses Site constraints: 100 year flood plain over a majority of the site Adjacent Properties Analysis Current zoning designations: North, East and West: AG-R-River Corridor Agricultural District and TA Transitional Agriculture. South: TA Transitional Agriculture. Comprehensive Plan Designation: North, East and West: River Protection Corridor South Agriculture Existing land uses: North Farm Ground and River East Cattle Feeding Operation West and South: Farm Ground General Location of the the Proposed Easement Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 76 / 173 EVALUATION: There are some significant development constraints on the property because the property is located within and located in the flood plain. Hall County Comprehensive Plan General Land Use Policies Goal 1 Hall County should manage the land in a cost-effective and efficient manner while protecting the environment and natural resources, as well as maintaining and increasing land values. Guiding future growth and development in Hall County towards a compact pattern of land uses based upon the efficient and economical expansion of public infrastructure will continue to maintain and improve the quality of life for Hall County residents. 1.1.7 Discourage and minimize leapfrog development outside of cities and villages. 1.1.8 Hall County should allow agricultural production in all areas in which agricultural uses are appropriate, and non-agricultural development in agricultural areas should be allowed in specifically designated areas which does not negatively impact the agricultural uses. 1.2.5 Encourage low to zero non-farm densities in prime farmland areas and other agricultural districts by providing residential lot size requirements and proper separation distances between residential and agricultural uses. Doniphan Comprehensive Plan (Achieve Doniphan) Public Utilities Objective 2.2 Promote the location of development outside of the flood plain and other drainage areas. Public Utilities Objective 2.3 Establish polices that prevent development from encroaching on floodplains and waterways. Environmental Objective 2.1 Promote the location of development outside of the flood plain and other drainage areas. Environmental Objective 2.2 Establish polices that prevent development from encroaching on floodplains and waterways. It would appear that based on the current zoning, the future land use plan for the county, the desire of the county as expressed in the comprehensive plan general land use policies 1.1.7, 1.1.8, 1.2.5 that it would be in conformance with the Hall County Comprehensive Plan to permit this conservation easement. Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 77 / 173 It would further appear that the proposed conservation easement is consistent with the public utilities and environmental objectives of the Doniphan Comprehensive plan. Nebraska State Statutes allow local governing bodies to review conservation easements between private parties and challenge the easement if the acquisition is not in the public interest. Statute recognizes three reasons that an easement would not be in the public interest if one of the following three items are true.  (a) the easement is inconsistent with a comprehensive plan for the area which had been officially adopted and was in force at the time of the conveyance,  (b) the easement is inconsistent with any national, state, regional, or local program furthering conservation or preservation, or  (c) the easement is inconsistent with any known proposal by a governmental body for use of the land. NRSS 76-2,112(3) This easement appears to be in compliance with the Hall County Comprehensive Plan and the Village of Doniphan as adopted and does not appear to be inconsistent with the public interest. RECOMMENDATION: Recommend that this easement should be approved by the Doniphan Village Board, finding the easement to be in compliance with the Hall County Comprehensive Plan and the Doniphan Comprehensive Plan as adopted, and not inconsistent with the public interest.

(C-07-2022C) Staff Contact: Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 97 / 173 Agenda Item # 10 PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION: September 24, 2021 SUBJECT: 2021 Comprehensive Development Plan (C-07-2022C) PROPOSAL: The Village of Cairo has contracted with Five Rule Rural Planning to prepare and update the Comprehensive Development Plan for the Village of Cairo. Planners from Five Rule, along with a steering committee of Cairo residents and the Cairo Village Board, have completed the planning process and presented the Comprehensive Plan update to the Cairo Village Board. The proposed plan as attached has been submitted to the Hall County Regional Planning Commission for their review and recommendation. EVALUATION: The Village of Cairo adopted their current Comprehensive Development Plan on December 9th of 2003. That plan replaced the previous Cairo Comprehensive Plan completed in 1997. There is no set time for an update or revision of a Comprehensive Plan. Most plans are written with a 20 year time horizon and reviewed on a 5 or 10 year basis and ultimately rewritten when either the community has changed significantly or the old plan no longer meets the needs of the community. The Village of Cairo contracted with Five Rule Rural Planning to manage, complete and write the plan. This 2020-21 planning effort has been the result of an interested and engaged group of citizens including the Cairo Village Board. Cairo has been working toward community improvements for the past several years. This planning effort is a formal step in solidifying the vision of the community and its leaders. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Hall County Planning Commission review the attached plan and recommend it for approval by the Cairo Village Board with any suggested edits or changes. ___________________ Chad Nabity AICP, Planning Director Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 98 / 173 CAIRO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FINAL DRAFT Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 99 / 173 VILLAGE OF CAIRO, 2021 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 1 OF 60 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION ....................................................................................................................................................... 2 RESPONSIBILITY TO PLAN .................................................................................................................................... 2 AUTHORITY TO PLAN ........................................................................................................................................... 2 BUILDING THE PLAN ............................................................................................................................................ 4 JURISDICTION OF THE PLAN ................................................................................................................................ 4 PUBLIC INPUT ..................................................................................................................................................... 6 DECISION TO PLAN ............................................................................................................................................ 11 DOCUMENTED ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONS ................................................................................ 12 DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS ..................................................................................................................... 13 ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS ........................................................................................................................... 18 DEMOGRAPHIC AND ECONOMIC KEY TAKEAWAYS ............................................................................................... 25 LAND USE AND ANNEXATION ................................................................................................................................. 26 NRS § 19-903 ................................................................................................................................................. 26 EXISTING LAND USE INVENTORY ........................................................................................................................ 27 STATUS AND CONDITION OF STRUCTURES .......................................................................................................... 32 FUTURE LAND USE MAP ..................................................................................................................................... 33 POLICY STATEMENTS ........................................................................................................................................ 36 ACCEPTABLE SUB-USES ..................................................................................................................................... 36 TRANSPORTATION ROUTES AND FACILITIES ........................................................................................................... 37 TRANSPORTATION ROUTES ................................................................................................................................ 38 STREETS AND SIDEWALKS ................................................................................................................................. 42 COMMUNITY INPUT ..............................................................................

For the purpose of promoting health, safety, morals, or the general welfare of the community, the legislative bodies in cities of the first and second class and in villages may adopt zoning regulations which restrict the height, number of stories, and size of buildings and other structures, the percentage of lot that may be occupied, the size of yards, courts, and other open spaces, the density of population, and the location and use of buildings, structures, and land for trade, industry, residence, or other purposes. AUTHORITY TO PLAN NRS § 19-901 (2) explains that zoning regulations may not be adopted until a comprehensive plan has been completed, recommended [by the Planning Commission] and adopted [by the City Council or Village Board of Trustees]. Such powers shall be exercised only after the municipal legislative body had established a planning commission, received from its planning commission a recommended comprehensive development plan as defined in section 19-903, adopted such comprehensive development plan, and received the specific recommendation of the planning commission on the adoption or amendment of zoning regulations. The planning commission shall make a preliminary report and hold public hearings on its recommendations regarding the adoption or repeal of the comprehensive development plan and zoning regulations and shall hold public hearings thereon before submitting its final report to the legislative body. Amendments to the comprehensive plan or zoning regulations shall be considered at public hearings before submitting regulations to the public body.

The Census did report that the village saw a dip in population in the 1980s and the early 2000s; however, these decreases were slight, with a loss of less than 10 residents reported. Over time, the population has continued to consistently rise. According to the population estimate created by the ELUI, Cairo is at its highest point. The 2020 Decennial Census will most likely document that Cairo is at its highest population yet. Families are defined by the U.S. Census as a group of two or more people related by marriage or adoption residing together. Households are defined as all people who occupy a housing unit. According to Chart 2.3, recent growth in Cairo is more from homes being added to Cairo than from growth in families and households. 224 364 427 425 411 422 503 686 737 733 790 785 839 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1900 1910 1920 1930 1940 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 2019 EST CHART 2.2 HISTORICAL POPULATION GROWTH, CAIRO 2.87 2.5 3.37 2.87 3.36 2.84 3.23 2.55 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 FAMILY HOUSEHOLD CHART 2.3 CHANGE IN AVERAGE FAMILY AND HOUSEHOLD SIZE 2010 2014 2018 2019 Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 113 / 173 VILLAGE OF CAIRO, 2021 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 15 OF 60 Unlike Chart 2.3 that displayed a shrinking household and family size, Chart 2.4 displays a growing number of households in Cairo. This growth in new households is likely resulting from the construction of new homes in the Centura Hills Subdivision. The median age in Cairo dropped dramatically after 2010 suggesting that new residents in Cairo are lowering the overall age of the community. When considering the growing number of households and shrinking size of households in combination with Chart 2.5 Change in Median Age and Chart 2.6 Centura School Enrollment, it appears that younger adults are moving into the community and building new homes, yet they are either not bringing children with them into Cairo, or they are bringing less children. 359 345 337 296 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 2019 2018 2010 2014 CHART 2.4 NUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDS, CAIRO 35.5 44.8 30 31.2 0 20 40 2000 2010 2018 2019 CHART 2.5 CHANGE IN MEDIAN AGE, 2010-2019, CAIRO Centura Hills Subdivision, looking from the south, Fall 2020 Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 114 / 173 VILLAGE OF CAIRO, 2021 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 16 OF 60 Cairo is the largest community belonging to the Centura Public Schools District, which also includes Boelus (Howard City) Dannebrog.

A population pyramid with the widest bars at the bottom of the pyramid is ideal for a community; this is the type of population pyramid present in Cairo.

The projection is created based on the assumption that nothing changes regarding intentional growth priorities or initiatives taken by Cairo leadership or other developers as the projection is based on the simple assumption that history will repeat itself. Many unknown future factors can impact future growth patterns. However, whenever planning and preparing for future growth, most organizations have come to recognize that history generally proves to be the greatest predictor of future growth. If the projection is accurate, and the population patterns that have taken place since 2020 will repeat itself in the next 100 years, Cairo’s total population will exceed 1,000 residents by 2050. This would result in a net increase of 172 (1,008 minus 836) residents that will generate the need for roughly 67 new housing units. This prediction is based on Cairo’s average household size of 2.55. 427 425 411 422 383 686 737 733 790 785 839 912 963 1,008 1,067 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1,000 1,100 1,200 1920 1930 1940 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 2020est.2030 2040 2050 2060 CHART 2.8 POPULATION PROJECTION ACTUAL PROJECTED Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 117 / 173 VILLAGE OF CAIRO, 2021 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 19 OF 60 ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS Average Weekly Wage (AWW) information below is based upon wages reported to the Nebraska Department of Labor for unemployment insurance. Table 2.3 and Chart 2.10 demonstrate that wages are growing in Nebraska. While amount of income earned by Nebraska residents has increased by more than 10% since 2010, they most dramatic increase has been experienced by wage earners living in the Grand Island MSA. Wages are still higher for Lincoln MSA workers and Nebraska as a whole; however, wage earners in the Grand Island MSA are gaining rapidly. While this is good news for employees living in Cairo, it signals a shortage of labor that is most likely limiting the ability of businesses in the area to grow and will weaken the area’s ability to recruit employers. 2009 2014 % CHANGE 2009-2014 2019 % CHANGE 2014-2019 GI MSA $655 $727 10.99% $842 15.82% NEBRASKA $757 $837 10.57% $969 15.77% LINCOLN MSA $698 $778 11.46% $893 14.78% HALL COUNTY $612 $696 13.73% $798 14.66% TABLE 2.3 AVERAGE WEEKLY WAGE (AWW) COMPARISON SOURCE: NEBRASKA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, QUARTERLY CENSUS OF WAGES $655 $757 $698 $612 $727 $837 $778 $696 $842 $969 $893 $798 $500 $550 $600 $650 $700 $750 $800 $850 $900 $950 GI MSA NEBRASKA LINCOLN MSA HALL CHART 2.10 AVERAGE WEEKLY WAGE COMPARISIONS(NEBRASKA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR) 2009 2014 2019 Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 118 / 173 VILLAGE OF CAIRO, 2021 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 20 OF 60 The following charts compare the change in median household incomes compared to the change in median home values (owner occupied homes) and median gross rent (renter occupied homes). All data provided for Charts 2.10 and 2.11 is provided by the U.S. Census American Community Survey (ACS) and is an estimate of the combined wages of all wage earners in a household. The ACS collects data on a rolling basis and provides an estimate for each year based upon the data collected. Unlike the AWW wage data, the ACS estimates that a slight dip in earnings took place for households in between 2017 and 2019. The ACS also estimates that earnings have begun to increase again. However, the rise in home values and gross rent is increasing at a much more significant pace. This rise in home values is most likely connected to earlier data that points to an increasing population in the area and an ongoing increase in the price of labor. Increasing wages show that the region is trying to workers. Yet, homes are not being added at a pace to keep up with the number of workers being recruited to the area. As jobs are filled by people moving into the region, homes are not being added at the same pace. This chain of events is exasperating the lack of housing supply needed to meet the growing demand. $57,115 $67,750 $56,583 $114,700 $120,000 $131,600 $25,000 $45,000 $65,000 $85,000 $105,000 $125,000 2015 2017 2019 CHART 2.10 MEDIAN HOME VALUES (OWNER OCCUPIED) & HOUSEHOLD INCOMES MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME MEDIAN HOME VALUE Linear (MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME)Linear (MEDIAN HOME VALUE) $677 $675 $738 $620 $640 $660 $680 $700 $720 $740 $760 2015 2017 2019 CHART 2.11 CHANGE IN MEDIAN GROSS RENT 2015 2017 2019 % INCREASE, 2015-2017 MEDIAN HOME VALUE $114,700 $120,000 $131,600 13% MEDIAN GROSS RENT $677 $675 $738 8% TABLE 2.4 CHANGE IN HOME VALUE AND GROSS RENT Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 119 / 173 VILLAGE OF CAIRO, 2021 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 21 OF 60 Sales tax information collected by the Nebraska Department of Revenue is a good indicator of the amount of economic activity in a community. Table 2.5 and Chart 2.11 below display the change in net taxable sales from 2016 to 2020. St. Paul has experienced a steady and significant increase in the number of local sales generated while Wood River and Cairo have seen slight increases. Cairo and Wood River are both located just under 16 miles from Grand Island while St. Paul is 23 miles from Grand Island. The struggle to increase locally generated sales in Cairo and Wood River is connected to its convenient drive to a variety of retail options in Grand Island. However, the growing number of residents and households in all the Grand Island MSA communities point to the potential for small retailers and service-oriented businesses to grow within each of their respective communities. Cairo has a full downtown business district and an industrial park ready to be house new and growing local businesses. Sales tax can be an important source of revenue that supplements property tax for a small community like Cairo. Small businesses in Cairo can also provide secondary jobs to family members living in Cairo and working a primary job in Grand Island. Lastly, small businesses can provide services that will make Cairo a more convenient place to live with the opportunity to do business and receive services locally. Attracting and growing small retail and service-oriented businesses is an important priority for the Village of Cairo if it wishes to continue growing and offering a high quality of life to current and new residents. 2016 2018 % CHANGE 2020 % CHANGE CAIRO $3,616,532 $3,516,208 -0.7% $3,568,960 1.5% ST.

Seventy seven percent of survey respondents said they work outside of Cairo. Roughly 52% Cairo residents that work outside of the home reported a work commute distance of 16-25 miles. When asked to choose the main reason for living in Cairo, the most popular choices were the small-town atmosphere, proximity to Grand Island and sense of safety in their community. These survey responses support the assumption that Cairo is a bedroom community. Bedroom community, by definition, is a suburb or small community that is primarily residential [other than industrial or commercial] and is inhabited mostly by people working in a nearby City. Cairo is an easy 15-minute drive from Grand Island, the seventh fastest growing city in Nebraska and the second fastest growing city outside of the Omaha/Lincoln Metropolitan Area.

Cairo will most likely struggle with attracting large employers to the community. It is still an important priority to recruit and grow and businesses that generate tax revenue (sales and property), increase the Village’s utility customer base, and provide services and secondary jobs to residents. When questioned about the most important projects that would impact Cairo’s ability to grow and improve, adding more retail and grocery businesses ranked as the most impactful ahead of all other possible projects. Tourism is another important driver with the ability to positively impact the local economy without requiring as much as investment as housing development or business recruitment. When asked how the Village of Cairo could support tourism to the area, most respondents pointed again to supporting the local business community. 10.5 9.5 8.5 7.7 7.7 7.6 6.6 6.5 6.3 6.1 5.8 4.9 4.3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ALTERNATIVE ENERGY AVAILABLE BETTER EMERGENCY SERVICES STRONGER COMMUNITY AND CIVIC LEADERSHIP NEW INDUSTRIAL BUSINESSES WALKWAY OVER RAILROAD TRACKS RENOVATIONS TO COMMUNITY CENTER ADDITIONAL OPTIONS FOR DAYCARE ADDITON OF SPLASH PAD TO CITY PARK MORE ENTERTAINMENT.RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES MORE RESTAURANTS/FAST FOOD EST.

The number of households and residents is increasing. At the same time, Cairo’s median age is decreasing along with the number of family and/or household members. Elementary school enrollment at Centura Public Schools is decreasing yet the ACS estimates that 41% of Cairo’s population is children 9 years of age and younger. Census data estimating the population breakdown (by age) of Cairo does not appear to be consistent. Regardless of those inconsistencies, the Village of Cairo is growing, and that new residents and housing units are being added to the area. − High Point: Historical population trends have fed into a population projection that predicts Cairo is at its highest population point since 1920, 100 years ago. The plan predicts that the village’s population will continue to rise and will exceed 1,000 residents in the next two to three decades. − Housing Demand: If this plan’s prediction is correct, the Cairo community will add roughly 67 new housing units to accommodate the growth. While some of this growth has been planned for with the addition of the Birdie Boulevard subdivision, additional lands will need to be developed and annexed into the village. Key takeaways regarding Economics to be considered include the following points: − Cost of labor: Wages for workers in Hall County, Grand Island MSA, and all of Nebraska are seeing a steady increase. Wages for GI MSA workers are seeing the greatest increase in the past five years. This is good news for employees living in Cairo. However, the supply of labor does not appear to be keeping up with demand. Employers in the area are most likely being forced to compete for labor which could be preventing businesses from making other investments that would benefit the region. − Housing costs: Though wages are increasing, they do not appear to be keeping up with the cost of housing, which is most likely connected to the lack of labor in the area. Home values and gross rents have increased significantly over the past five years. A significant increase in prices almost always points to demand outpacing supply. In this case, the supply of housing is not keeping up with the demand for it. The region’s economy needs workers and workers moving to the region need housing. If Cairo financially and politically able to attract more residents, the region’s demand for housing suggests that new homes built in Cairo would fill up quickly. Based on wage information, affordable homes should exceed a monthly housing cost of no more than $1,000. − Demand for services and secondary jobs: Most survey respondents claimed that Cairo’s small town, safe atmosphere and proximity to Grand Island are the main reasons they reside in Cairo. Cairo is a bedroom community. To better support its residents and encourage them to belong to the Cairo Community, the number of businesses providing services and secondary jobs need to increase. An increase in the business diversity is the most important value to current residents. The types of businesses that are wanted most by survey respondents include grocery and retail businesses. Over the next decade, it is the Village of Cairo’s intent to build out its industrial park. The future tenants of that park will most likely be businesses that are locally grown and supported.

The purpose of creating the inventory is to identify the current land use situation in Cairo and then use that understanding to make land use decisions over the next decade. Map 3.1 on the following page represents the Existing Land Use (ELU) inventory for all lands inside the village. Table 3.1 and Charts 3.1 and 3.2 provide a breakdown of land use by parcels and by acres. Cairo is classified by Nebraska Statute as a village and therefore has zoning jurisdiction over all lands inside of the corporate limits and withing one mile of the village corporate limits. For this reason, the land use inventory completed in October 2020 also involved those lands within one mile of the village. The data in Table 3.1 and Charts 3.1 and 3.2 only represent the lands inside of the Village of Cairo corporate limits. The primary user of land inside Cairo is residential, single family (SF) homes; this is evident when breaking down the use of land by parcels or acres. The second highest user, vacant lots, includes those lots that are developed within Birdie Subdivision but have yet to be built upon. When they are developed, they will also be residential sf uses. Commercial is the next largest user of land after residential. If the Village achieves its development goals, government will not be the fourth largest user of land by 2030 as much of the industrial park should be under the ownership of private commercial uses.

Map 3.2 below represents the village’s existing land use map when considering the entire zoning jurisdiction. A breakdown of uses within the zoning jurisdiction is not provided within the plan as the overwhelmingly primary user of land is agricultural and the Village Board does not foresee it having a significantly measurable impact on the lands within its one-mile zoning jurisdiction. If the Village Board does encounter a situation where it could impact the uses in its one-mile zoning jurisdiction it will operate mainly from a stance of conserving lands within the zoning jurisdiction as agricultural or ensuring that lands adjacent to the village can be annexed and served with village owned utilities.

This task is completed to identify underutilized properties within the community on lots that are already developed. In Cairo, however, the majority of lots are being utilized. The inventory is performed from the nearest public right of way. Properties that are labeled as vacant are categorized based upon the way that they appear to the individual completing the inventory. Structures that do appear to be vacant are grouped into one of three categories: 1. Appears abandoned (AA): It appears the structure is uninhabitable, has not been utilized in several months, and does not appear to be maintained. 2. Appears maintained but no evidence of daily use (NEDU): While the property is maintained (yard is mowed, entries are secure), it does not appear that anybody is utilizing the property daily. 3. For sale (FS): There is a sign in the yard or some indicator that the property is actively being marketed to buyers. Based on the assessments, only 17 out of 346 residential structures (4.9%) were labeled as vacant, with only one structure being listed as for sale at the time of the inventory and only structure identified as vacant, appearing abandoned. Eight out of 41 (19.5%) commercial structures were identified as vacant, NEDU. Zero commercial structures were identified as vacant, AA. In addition to identifying status, properties are categorized by their condition as well. These assessments are based upon the Nebraska Housing Study Lite Toolkit that was developed by the SouthCentral Economic Development District (SCEDD) to be used as a rating tool for structures. Based on their appearance from the nearest public right of way, structures are grouped into one of three categories: 1. Fair to excellent: Structures in excellent condition, have solid roofs, foundations, and contribute positively to Cortland’s building stock. Structures in fair condition are structurally sound, but may need minor repairs such as new shingles, paint, concrete steps, or doors that need replacing; they do not detract from the overall neighborhood but do have deferred maintenance issues. 2. Major wear: Structures with major wear have substantial wear such as a sagging roof, missing or rotted siding, rotting windows, and other issues such as a sagging porch; these structures appear tired and give a negative impression of the neighborhood. 3. Dilapidated: Structures that are dilapidated are in an overall unsatisfactory condition, with a crumbling foundation, broken windows/doors, and/or a sagging roof. The structure has outlasted its normal life expectancy and is a safety/health hazard. Only 12 out of 346 (3%) total residential structures were rated as having major wear while 0 residential structures were rated as dilapidated. A total of 41 commercial structures were counted; only 2 out of 41 (5%) were rated as having major wear while the remaining 39 were rated as fair to excellent. Overall, the status and condition assessment suggest that most structures in Cairo are occupied and maintained. Properties that are the best candidates for redevelopment were generally more of a commercial nature; most residential units are not being underutilized. Therefore, if the village wishes to add more residents, it will most likely need to place more consideration on expansion through new construction. While 20% of commercial structures were identified as not being used daily, it is likely that most of these structures are being used by the owner for warehousing; they may appear under utilized but they are likely not available for redevelopment. The Cairo industrial park is ready for new commercial structures.

Map 3.4, Future Land Use Map displays that new commercial/industrial growth is planned for the Cairo Industrial Park and new residential growth is planned for the southwest corner of Cairo. Neither of these new developments are located within the Village’s floodplain, which is displayed below the map provided by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources. Lands that are colored in blue are those lands that have a 1% chance of flooding annually. The Village of Cairo’s zoning regulations are administered by the Hall County Regional Planning Commission. Section 8 enforces the Village’s floodplain regulations. Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 134 / 173 VILLAGE OF CAIRO, 2021 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 36 OF 60 FUTURE LAND USE MAP Map 3.4 on the following page is the proposed future land use (FLU) map for Cairo’s entire zoning jurisdiction. It should guide all land use and development decisions over the next ten years. Should the Hall County Joint Planning Commission and Village Board choose to make policy decisions that are not reflected on the FLU map, then the FLU map must be amended to reflect the change in policies. Map 3.4 represents the vision of the Cairo community by illustrating attributes of the existing land use maps that the village would like to change in the next ten years. The village’s vision for annexation as well as redevelopment of already incorporated areas is communicated through the Future Land Use Map. The Future Land Use (FLU) Map was presented to the Cairo community during an outdoor open house on June 9, 2021. Comments from the community were incorporated into the proposed future land use map. POLICY STATEMENTS The FLU Map reflects the following policy statements that represent the Cairo community’s vison for future growth. 1.Residential growth: The Village of Cairo recognizes the unmet demand for housing and the negative impact it is having on the community’s ability to attract young families and provide employees for area businesses. According to information provided by the Village Engineer (Olsson), the lands that are in the southwest corner would be the most affordable to develop. This is due this land’s natural sloping and the water and sanitary infrastructure that already exists near the ball fields and swimming pool. The FLU map also shows no residential or commercial development of the lands within the one-mile of the village. This reflects the Board’s policy to pay special attention to the way that new developments will impact the ability of the village to expand by adding neighborhoods that are annexed and connected to services. Centura Hills Subdivision is located on the north side of the village and has lots yet to be sold and built upon. The housing lots in Centura Hills are geared more toward larger dwelling units while the lands reserved on the southwest side of the village would serve smaller lot affordable housing neighborhoods. 2.Commercial land development: The Cairo Industrial Park has developed an 18-lot subdivision. Three lots have been sold and are developed while 15 lots remain. New commercial businesses and expanding local businesses should be in the park, which has been marked by the FLU Map as industrial. ACCEPTABLE SUB-USES Acceptable sub-uses within each land use category are listed as follows. Agriculture Village and/or county facilities (Parks and Recreation/Utility/Trash Storage/Landfill/Recycling) Industrial Village and/or county facilities (Utility/Trash Storage/Landfill/Recycling) Commercial Public and or non-profit/civic uses (Religious/Educational/Office/Library/Community Center/Parks and Recreation) Residential Public and or non-profit/civic uses (Religious/Educational/Library/Community Center/Parks and Recreation) Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 135 / 173 VILLAGE OF CAIRO, 2021 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 37 OF 60 Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 136 / 173 VILLAGE OF CAIRO, 2021 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 38 OF 60 TRANSPORTATION ROUTES AND FACILITIES NRS § 19-903 The general location, character, and extent of existing and proposed major roads, streets, and highways, and air and other transportation routes and facilities. TRANSPORTATION ROUTES The Village of Cairo transportation routes consist of several surface transportation assets that are displayed on Map 4.1, Streets Classification: − Arterial Streets − Collector Streets − Local Streets Cairo has two state highways passing through the Cairo: State Highway 2 and State Highway 11. These major routes serve as arterial streets; streets that carry people into and out of the community. The village is also served by a small group of collector streets, which delivers residents and visitors to local streets. The remainder of streets in Cairo are classified as local streets that deliver residents and visitors directly to their homes or destinations. Map 4.2 displays the Village’s Through Routes Plan. Streets identified in should have the rights of way at the end of each street preserved. Map 4.1 displays the classifications of the streets in and around the Village of Cairo. Map 4.2 displays the through routes map, which consists of the arterial and collector streets in and around Cairo. Both maps communicate two important policies to be considered by the village’s leadership when making development decisions. Maintain Collector Street Rights of Way: The Village of Cairo has little to no control of the Highways 2 and 11. However, there are several collector streets that carry vehicles all the way through Cairo going north and south as well as east and west. The ability to develop along through streets that are not impeded by floodways or private developments [such as cul de sacs] will impact the type and amount of affordable housing that is able to be constructed. Therefore, to support the village’s goals to add affordable housing, these through street rights of way need to be maintained and/or acquired. Preserve Commercial Corridors: State Highways 2 and 11 are important assets for the Cairo community. It is the community’s front porch, and the source of judgements passersby will make when traveling along these routes. Some of these passersby may be potential future residents; as such, these corridors must be preserved and well maintained. It is also a source of customers for businesses as well as a natural location for those businesses to serve residents. The properties along these corridors must be reserved for the types of businesses that will bring commerce to Cairo and provide services and secondary jobs to residents. All businesses along these highway corridors must be required to maintain their properties and understand that its appearance will impact the ability of the village to attract other new businesses as well as residents. Love Our Byways: Highway 2 is an important highway that brings a large amount of traffic to, from, and through Cairo that is also traveling from or to Grand Island. The Village maintenance shed is located along this byway on the east side of Cairo. The Community Club was awarded a grant funds from the Toyota, Love our Byways Program this year to landscape the area around the sign. This project is an important step and reminder to the need to maintain the appearance and pay special attention to uses along this commercial corridor.

Streets: The streets in Cairo are mainly asphalt streets rated in satisfactory or good condition. Four separate street lengths were marked as “other”. These stretches do not appear to have a street constructed by the right of way for these streets appear to be preserved, according to Hall County property records: Suez Street from Oasis to Syria; E Nile Street, Sycamore the corporate boundary; E Mecca Street, Sycamore to the corporate boundary; and East Syria Street from Sycamore to the corporate boundary. Three gravel street lengths that are gravel surface and appear to be utilized as private streets are located on the west end of Cairo: West Nile Street, West Mecca Street, and West Oasis Street. The remaining street lengths that are not concrete are located north of Highway 2. One-and Six-Year Plan: The Nebraska Department of Transportation encourages municipalities to annually complete and submit a One-and Six-Year Plan for local street projects. The NDOT will distribute funds to that municipality to support the completion of those projects. Olsson is the Village Engineer and complete the plan for the Board each year in February. Several factors will affect the eventual completion of the projects on the one-and-six-year plan. While these projects may not be completed in the next one to six years, the streets on this Plan demonstrate the board’s priorities concerning street projects. According to the February 9, 2021 Board meeting minutes, the one-year plan includes constructing streets at the industrial park and extending Hillside Drive and beginning the phase of Putter’s Cove-a cul-de-sac at. The six-year plan includes paving 130th Road east of the golf course and extending Suez Street. As the Village Engineer, Olsson is responsible for maintaining the plan and providing cost estimates for each project.

Centura Hills is the newest subdivision in Cairo and was constructed without sidewalks. In a community the size of Cairo, residents and vehicles alike may be more comfortable with sharing the street and a village- wide sidewalk system may not be appropriate. Sidewalk projects will compete with other street and community projects that are most likely higher in demand than new sidewalks. The Village must preserve the sidewalks that it does have and consider pedestrian transportation and important pedestrian routes when considering new developments. Preserving routes to and around the three major park/recreation facilities and downtown are examples of sidewalk assets that need to be maintained and expanded when feasible. Sidewalk Network-Oasis Street to Highway 2: The sidewalks on both sides of Highway 11 from the south edge of town to Highway 2 are present and in satisfactory to good condition. This length of sidewalk needs to be maintained as it provides a safe way for pedestrians to share the road on Cairo’s busiest street. Highway 2 Overpass: Highway 2 and the railroad are important transportation assets to the region and the state. They are also barriers to connecting the community. An overpass over Highway 2 is a community project that has been discussed over the past several years. The bypass would cross the tracks and the highway. Overpass projects are costly and require the clearance of numerous bureaucratic hurdles. When asked about changes that are most important, an overpass appeared within the top 10 most desired projects. However, eight other projects were ahead of the overpass. Should the Board decide to commit to this overpass, a significant number of resources in the form of time and money will need to be committed as well to see this project through. 10.5 9.5 8.5 7.7 7.7 7.6 6.6 6.5 6.3 6.1 5.8 4.9 4.3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ALTERNATIVE ENERGY AVAILABLE BETTER EMERGENCY SERVICES STRONGER COMMUNITY AND CIVIC LEADERSHIP NEW INDUSTRIAL BUSINESSES WALKWAY OVER RAILROAD TRACKS RENOVATIONS TO COMMUNITY CENTER ADDITIONAL OPTIONS FOR DAYCARE ADDITON OF SPLASH PAD TO CITY PARK MORE ENTERTAINMENT/RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES MORE RESTAURANTS/FAST FOOD EST.

Most of the east/west streets appear to have their rights of way preserved when reaching the edges of town. Based on preliminary engineering advice, the southwest corner of the town has the highest potential for future housing development that would support smaller lots (4,000-6,000 sf) that can be connected to all services and annexed into the village. Preserving rights of way will be important to fulfilling this potential for housing development. Commercial corridor consideration Highways 2 and 11 are important routes bringing traffic to, through, and from Cairo. They are the most likely locations for the types of businesses desired by the community that will bring retail, services, and secondary jobs to Cairo. They are also the first and last scene that travelers and tourists will seen when traveling to, through, and from Cairo. Because of their importance to the local economy, the appearance and uses along these corridors require special consideration. Pedestrian routes The Village of Cairo has very little sidewalk network that is present and in good condition. However, there is a stretch of sidewalk that is present and in mostly good condition along Highway 11, south of the tracks. This stretch must be preserved as it provides a safe form of pedestrian transportation along the community’s busiest in town traffic route. It is not always necessary or feasible to require a fully functioning sidewalk system in every neighborhood; however, it should always be considered, especially when a development may be a important part of connectivity for the entire community.

DOMESTIC WATER AND SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM Olsson serves the village as its civil engineer and maintains the records that contain information about the village’s overall water and sanitary system. Maps 5.1 and 5.2 on the following pages are based upon drawings provided by Olsson and represents the size and location of the lines that serve the community. The Village of Cairo has seen increases in the revenue it receives from providing water and sanitary services to its residents. The change in revenues and expenses beginning in FY 2018 are due to investments the Village has made in improving and expanding the lagoon and installing infrastructure to service the industrial park. Recruiting residents to complete the build outs of Centura Hills Subdivision and the Cairo Industrial Park are essential to recovering the infrastructure investments that have been made as well as providing revenue needed to expand housing in other parts of the community.

The Village has seen the highest increase in residential customers, moving from 294 customers in 2016 to 308 customers in 2020. The number of business/church customers has also increased, but only slighthly, averaging one new customer account per year from 2016 to 2020. Number of customers does not appear to be growing as the same rate as usage of water. Usage has increased significantly beginning in 2020. Usage records only exist through August for 2022. By August of 2020, total usage [year to date] was 31,522 gallons. By August of 2021, total usage [year to date] was 37,142 gallons. This suggests that 2021 will end at a higher usage level than 2020, which was the highest in the past five years. 294 295 308 308 3081919 21 21 2388 8 8 811 1 1 1 260 280 300 320 340 360 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 CHART 5.1 CAIRO WATER CUSTOMERS Residental Business/Churches Non Residental School 50,504 45,834 37,198 31,678 53,892 37,142 36,324 33,644 26,060 22,209 31,522 37,142 10,000 15,000 20,000 25,000 30,000 35,000 40,000 45,000 50,000 55,000 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 CHART 5.4 WATER USAGE IN GALLONS TOTAL ENTIRE YEAR TOTAL-THROUGH AUGUST Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 150 / 173 VILLAGE OF CAIRO, 2021 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 52 OF 60 Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/6/2021 Page 151 / 173 VILLAGE OF CAIRO, 2021 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 53 OF 60 PUBLIC LANDS AND BUILDINGS Map 5.3 on the following page displays the location of the public lands and buildings in Cairo.

Cairo has a volunteer fire department, which is housed in a well-maintained facility that hosts vehicles, gear, equipment, the Village Office, and Village Board meetings. Community satisfaction with services: When questioned about their overall satisfaction with services and areas in the village, residents were mostly just satisfied. Two community facilities that were identified several times during the community interviews were the swimming pool and community center. Residents generally displayed a high appreciation for both assets and would like to see the village expand/improve both facilities. 0 15 30 45 60 75 90 105 EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED DISSATISFIED SATISFIED EXTREMELY SATISFIED CHART 5.1 SATISFACTION WITH COMMUNITY ELEMENTS BASED ON RESPONDENT'S RESIDENTIAL LOCATION COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE HIGHWAYS/MAIN ENTRANCES INTO TOWN RESIDENTIAL AREAS DOWNTOWN BUSINESS DISTRICT PARKS & RECREATIONAL AREAS INDUSTRIAL PARK GOLF COURSE VACANT PROPERTIES 10.5 9.5 8.5 7.7 7.7 7.6 6.6 6.5 6.3 6.1 5.8 4.9 4.3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ALTERNATIVE ENERGY AVAILABLE BETTER EMERGENCY SERVICES STRONGER COMMUNITY AND CIVIC LEADERSHIP NEW INDUSTRIAL BUSINESSES WALKWAY OVER RAILROAD TRACKS RENOVATIONS TO COMMUNITY CENTER ADDITIONAL OPTIONS FOR DAYCARE ADDITON OF SPLASH PAD TO CITY PARK MORE ENTERTAINMENT/RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES MORE RESTAURANTS/FAST FOOD EST.

This program is named the Civic and Community Center Financing Fund (CCCFF) and provides matching funds to study the need and cost for a community center project and provide funds to assist with the construction of community centers. The reoccurring themes based around the community center during the interview prompted the inclusion of a community center question in the community survey. This question was based upon the community’s willingness to pursue CCCFF funds to improve/expand the community center. Thirteen respondents were against pursuing the CCCFF program while 131 showed some level of support.

Rasmussen Park houses the swimming pool and is located on the southwest edge of town. Hulett Park is in the middle of town and has modern playground equipment, and the sports fields complex (owned by the Cairo Athletic Association) is located north of Highway 2. The village also owns and maintains a baseball field on the southwest corner of town. Maps 5.4 and 5.5 on the following pages display the location of the parks as well as a ½ mile radius around each park. Amount: As a general guide, the American Planning Association (APA) recommends a community have two acres of park space for every 100 residents. With a population of approximately 836 residents, and roughly 16.5 acres of park space, Cairo should aim for 9 acres of park space; therefore, the village currently has a enough park space. Access: According to community planning standards, residents should live within ½ to 1 mile of park space. Map 5.5 displays a ½ mile radius around each park. According to Map 5.5, all residents except those living in Centura Hills Subdivison are within one ½ mile radius of a park. Further, should the Village move forward with adding housing to the southwest corner of town, those new residents would be well within the ½ mile radius of a park. Additional park amenities: participants in the focus group and individual interviews and community survey respondents alike favored the addition of park/recreation amenities, especially the installation of a community trails system and the addition of a splash pad. The community was also overwhelmingly in support of keeping the swimming pool and improvements to the swimming pool was in the top 3 most desired community projects.

The Cairo Rural Volunteer Fire Department has existed since 1910 and provides emergency services to residents living in and around the Village of Cairo. The Village Office and Cairo Volunteer Fire Department are housed in the same building. The Hall County Sheriff provides police protection and has a physical office in the community. Schools: residents in Cairo are part of the Centura Hills School District, located outside of Cairo north of town. New Hope Christian Church is a private elementary school located inside of Cairo. The Village of Cairo has in the past and will continue to look for ways to partner with and support both schools.

Over the next decade, the development of the industrial park and Centura Hills Subdivision are important priorities that will assist the Village with recovering this investment and receive the increased revenues that will come from the complete build out of these subdivisions. Development of other residential neighborhoods is another important priority impacting the village’s ability to grow sustainably. Lands on the southwest corner of town hold the greatest potential for cost effective development of residential neighborhoods. Community Center Improvement and/or expansion of the community center was identified by stakeholders as an important issue. The CCCFF fund is made available by the State of Nebraska and the village’s community center is an eligible project. Community survey respondents are mostly in support of pursuing the CCCFF program. Parks/Recreation Amenities Preservation and Improvements As is, the village’s park system provides ample space and access for enjoyment by its residents. Improvements that the community would like to see added to the park system involve improving the current state of the swimming pool, installing a splash pad, and adding a parks/trails system.
