PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING
COMMISSION:
September 20, 2022
SUBJECT: Future Land Use Map Change (C-01-23GI)
PROPOSAL: This proposal includes approximately 700 acres of land north of Capital
Ave, west of Broadwell Ave, south of Airport Rd and east of US Highway 281. Staff is
recommending amendments to spur development within the area and in the recognition
of the change of status of the Old Veteran’s Home property from public to private
ownership. Changes to the Future Landuse Map would allow for consistency with the
zoning as it stands today. As shown in the area outlined in blue on the map below the
northeast 57 acres is planned for Parks and Recreation and the remaining 643 acres
was designated as Public. The property is located within the Grand Island municipal
limits.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/5/2022 Page 15 / 228
OVERVIEW
Staff is recommending three amendments to the Grand Island Comprehensive Plan and
Future Land Use map within the area outlined in blue on the map. The first would
extend the park and recreation designation south of its current location to encompass
approximately 78 acres of existing park infrastructure including softball, baseball, soccer
and football fields along Broadwell Ave. The second is to change the proposed future
use of the former Veterans Home site approximately 44 acres north of Capital Ave from
public to mix use office. The third is to change approximately 464 acres from public to
mix used commercial. These changes as proposed will allow for some flexibility in the
development across the area
A map of the requested changes is shown below.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/5/2022 Page 16 / 228
EVALUATION:
The Grand Island Comprehensive Plan and this Future Land Use Map were approved in
2004. With the development anticipated at the former Veteran’s Home site, staff is
recommending changes that would align with the current zoning district and the
proposed development.
This property was in the Grand Island City Limits and was initially designated to be used
for Pubic purposes. Based on the proposed development in the area it is appropriate to
consider changes to the future land use map that would allow for more of a mixed use
designation.
The proposed changes facilitate development north of Capital Ave in accordance to the
vision of the Veterans Legacy Project Master Plan. These changes would allow for the
creation of a mixed use developments north of Capital Ave and South of Airport Rd.
While preserving property for public uses around Eagle Scout Park, the Veteran’s Ball
fields and the Veteran’s Cemetery
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.

Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/5/2022 Page 26 / 228
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.

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 Amendment. 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 preserving these historic buildings
with new uses.
8. Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed by December 2023. Excess
valuation should be available for this project for 15 years beginning with the 2024 tax
year.
9. Justification of Project
These buildings at the former Grand Island Veterans’ Home in north central Grand Island
will be preserved with this project. The developer intends to make the units available to
persons aged 55 and over with a preference for veterans, gold star families and the
surviving spouse of a veteran. This proposed use will provide housing in Grand Island
and honor the history of the Veterans’ Home.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/5/2022 Page 27 / 228
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.
(2012), the City of Grand Island has analyzed the costs and benefits of the proposed
Redevelopment Project, including:
Project Sources and Uses. Approximately $715,000 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
$16,715,000 in private sector financing; a private investment of $23.78 for every TIF
dollar invested.

Building Acquisition $3,060,000 $3,060,000
Renovation Costs $10,170,000 $10,170,000

Other $1,200,000 $1,200,000
Total $715,000 $16,715,000 $17,430,000
Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped is anticipated to have a January 1, 2024,
valuation of approximately $5,085,000. Based on the 2021 levy this would result in a real
property tax of approximately $110,262. It is anticipated that the assessed value will
increase by $4,685,000 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This
development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $101,589 annually. The tax
increment gained from this Redevelopment Project Area would not be available for use
as city general tax revenues, for a period of 15 years, or such shorter time as may be
required to amortize the TIF bond, but would be used for eligible private redevelopment
costs to enable this project to be realized.
Estimated 2023 assessed value: $400,000
Estimated value after completion $5,085,000
Increment value $4,685,000
Annual TIF generated (estimated)$101,598
TIF bond issue $715,000
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/5/2022 Page 28 / 228
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $400,000. The
proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $4,685,000. A tax shift of
$715,000 is anticipated from the project. It is not anticipated that any additional tax
burdens will be assumed by public entities as a result of this project. The project
creates additional valuation that will support taxing entities long after the project is
paid off.
(b) Public infrastructure and community public service needs impacts and local tax
impacts arising from the approval of the redevelopment project;
No additional public service needs have been identified. Existing water and waste
water facilities will not be impacted by this development. The electric utility has
sufficient capacity to support the development. It is not anticipated that this will impact
schools in any significant way. Fire and police protection are available and should not be
negatively impacted by 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 residential options in Grand Island.
(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 in any manner
different from any other similar housing projects within the Grand Island area.
(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 as it will likely not result in any increased attendance. The plan for
this development is that the units will be marketed to seniors aged 55 and older
with a preference for veterans. This does not preclude the possibility of renting to
non-veterans or those younger than age 55. The majority of the units to be
developed with this project are one bedroom units (Anderson building 10 of 17;
Pershing Building 25 of 31) and unlikely to be a family units, especially for
families with school age children, with the rest planned as two bedroom units
(Anderson 7 of 17; Pershing 6 of 31).
The average number of persons per household in Grand Island for 2015 to
2019 according the American Community Survey is 2.61. According to the 2010
census 19.2% of the population of Grand Island was between the ages of 5 and 18.
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 a maximum of 25 school age children generated by this development
though that is mitigated by the fact that there a majority (35 of 48) of these units
are 1 bedroom units. If the one bedroom units are excluded a maximum of 7
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/5/2022 Page 29 / 228
school age children would be generated by this development
(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 Council and the CRA to breath life back into
the Veterans Home property. The property has been vacant since the home moved to
Kearney in 2016. This property was conveyed to the CRA and then immediately to
the developer on July 15, 2020.
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed December 2023. The base
tax year should be calculated on the value of the property as of January 1, 2024. Excess
valuation should be available for this project for 15 years beginning in 2024 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 or an amount not to exceed $715,000 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 $14,000,000.on TIF
eligible activities in excess of other grants given.

Agenda Item #6
PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION:
September 21, 2022
SUBJECT:
Redevelopment plan amendment for property located in Blight and Substandard Area 34
located north of Faidley Avenue and east of Claude Road (Lot 1 of Crane Valley Ninth
Subdivision) in Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska to support this development. (C-03-
23GI)
PROPOSAL:
KER Enterprises LLC is proposing to develop the properties described above a family
entertainment center. The property is zoned B-2 General Business. The future land use map
call for development of this property as commercial that is compatible with the anticipated uses.
OVERVIEW:
The purpose of the CRA and the designated blight and substandard area is to provide
incentives for development in underdeveloped areas of the community. This area has
already been declared blighted and substandard the Grand Island City Council.
This project is consistent with the proposed zoning and the future land use plan for this
area within the City of Grand Island. This development will promote development along the
Claude Road corridor in a manner consistent with the plans for the area and the needs of
the City.
The Regional Planning Commission recommendation is limited to the appropriateness of the
proposed use at this location. The Grand Island Comprehensive Plan calls for the
development of a mix of commercial and residential uses at this location. This proposed
development will include acquisition of the property along with necessary grading and site
work and installation of private drives and streets to support the development and parking
lot. In addition 25% of the TIF generated by the project will dedicated to building Claude
Road between this property and State Street.
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 commercial development at this
location appears to be supported by the plan.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/5/2022 Page 78 / 228
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Planning Commission finds that the redevelopment plan is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan (general plan for development) of the City of Grand Island and
recommends approval as presented. A resolution is attached for your consideration.

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 providing for the development of Claude
Road and reducing congestion along Diers Avenue 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 commercial
build out will occur before the end of 2023. Claude Road will be extended as is feasible
and budget permits. Excess valuation should be available 15 years beginning with the
2024 tax year.
9. Justification of Project
Family entertainment options are somewhat limited in Grand Island and this has been
exacerbated with the loss of Skate Island and the entertainment options at that facility.
This is an opportunity to encourage new uses that will increase tourism opportunities and
capture local entertainment dollars.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/5/2022 Page 87 / 228
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 $1,420,596 in public funds from tax
increment financing provided by the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority
will be required to complete the project. The project should generate an additional
$473,532 that will be available to the City for improvements in the Claude Road corridor.
This investment by the Authority will leverage $5,917,138 in private sector financing and
investment; a private investment of $4.17 for every TIF dollar invested. In addition, over
$440,000 will be generated for Claude Road.
Use of Funds Source of funds
Description TIF Funds Private Funds Total
Site Acquisition $1,253,335 $1,253,335
Building Costs $4,434,755 $4,434,755
Sewer $10,370 $10,370
Water $316,315 $316,315
Electric $73,610 $73,610
Public Streets/ sidewalks $299,760 $299,760
Site prep/ Dirt work $167,261 $230,229 $397,490
Planning (Arch. & Eng.) $167,500 $167,500
Financing fees/ audit $365,638 $365,638

Other $7,500 $7,500
25% for Claude Road $473,532
Total $1,894,128 $5,917,138 $7,337,734
Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped is anticipated to have a January 1, 2023
valuation of approximately $375,297. Based on the 2021 levy this would result in a real
property tax of approximately $8,138. It is anticipated that the assessed value will
increase by $5,823,482 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This
development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $126,275 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.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/5/2022 Page 88 / 228
Estimated 2023 assessed value: $ 375,297
Estimated value after completion $ 6,198,779
Increment value $ 5,823,482
Annual TIF generated (estimated) $ 126,275
TIF bond issue $ 1,894,128
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $375,297.
The proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $5,823,482. The project
creates additional valuation that will support taxing entities long after the project is paid
off along with providing provide for the development and construction of Claude Road.
The tax shift from this project will be equal to the total of the bond principal of
$1,894,128 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 will not result additional students for Grand Island Public Schools. 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.
(c) Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding within the
boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project;
This development is expected to result in 9 full time staff and 55-60 part time
employees to staff the facility.
(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.
(e) Impacts on student populations of school districts within the City or Village:
This development is not expected to have any direct impact on student populations as
it does not involve residential uses.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/5/2022 Page 89 / 228
(f) Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the
consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project.
Twenty Five percent of the increment generated approximately $440,000 will be
made available to the City of Grand Island for the development of Claude Road to the
north and west of this property.
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed between Fall of 2022 and the
end of 2023. The base tax year should be calculated on the value of the property as of
January 1, 2023. Excess valuation should be available for this project beginning in 2024
with taxes due in 2025. 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 or a base amount of $1,894,128 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 $2,500,000 on TIF
eligible activities without including City expenditures on Claude Road.

(3) Blighted area means an area (a) which, by reason of the presence of a substantial
number of deteriorated or deteriorating structures, existence of defective or inadequate street
layout, faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility, or usefulness, insanitary
or unsafe conditions, deterioration of site or other improvements, diversity of ownership, tax
or special assessment delinquency exceeding the fair value of the land, defective or unusual
conditions of title, improper subdivision or obsolete platting, or the existence of conditions
which endanger life or property by fire and other causes, or any combination of such factors,
substantially impairs or arrests the sound growth of the community, retards the provision of
housing accommodations, or constitutes an economic or social liability and is detrimental to
the public health, safety, morals, or welfare in its present condition and use and (b) in which
there is at least one of the following conditions: (i) Unemployment in the designated area is
at least one hundred twenty percent of the state or national average; (ii) the average age of
the residential or commercial units in the area is at least forty years; (iii) more than half of
the plotted and subdivided property in an area is unimproved land that has been within the
city for forty years and has remained unimproved during that time; (iv) the per capita income
of the area is lower than the average per capita income of the city or village in which the
area is designated; or (v) the area has had either stable or decreasing population based on
the last two decennial censuses. In no event shall a city of the metropolitan, primary, or first
class designate more than thirty-five percent of the city as blighted, a city of the second class
shall not designate an area larger than fifty percent of the city as blighted, and a village shall
not designate an area larger than one hundred percent of the village as blighted. A
redevelopment project involving a formerly used defense site as authorized under section 18-
2123.01 shall not count towards the percentage limitations contained in this subdivision;
(31) Substandard areas shall mean an area in which there is a predominance of buildings
or improvements, whether nonresidential or residential in character, which, by reason of
dilapidation, deterioration, age or obsolescence, inadequate provision for ventilation, light,
air, sanitation, or open spaces, high density of population and overcrowding, or the existence
of conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes, or any combination of
such factors, is conducive to ill health, transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile
delinquency, and crime, (which cannot be remedied through construction of prisons), and is
detrimental to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare;

Blighting Summary
These conditions are contributing to the blighted conditions of the study area.
Criteria under Part A of the Blight Definition
Substantial number of deteriorating structures
o Within the study are 80.0% of the structures were deemed to be in either average or
badly worn condition.
o Several locations around the primary mall are indicating moisture damage to the
brick façade. There is clear moisture damage inside of the mall as well.
Deterioration of site or other improvements
o The majority of the asphalt parking areas around the primary mall is in a deteriorating
state and appears to have forgone updating for a considerable time.
o There are several places where the parking surfaces are in a worse than deteriorated
state based upon the photographs in the report.
Diversity of Ownership
o There are 13 different property owners within the study area.
o The majority of the buildings owned by corporations, sit on top of ground owned by
another party, typically, Conestoga Realty or Conestoga North.
Improper Subdivision or Obsolete Platting
o First and foremost are the private streets on the north side of the study area,
Conestoga Drive and Overland Road.
o The developed area in the northeast corner of the study area has been built out in a
clustered manner, making traffic circulation difficult.
o The positioning of lots along West State Street and North Webb Road have access
drives in a manner that makes traffic control and congestion problematic.
Faulty Lot Layout
o The developed area in the northeast corner of the study area has been built out in a
clustered manner, making traffic circulation difficult.
o The positioning of lots along West State Street and North Webb Road have access
drives in a manner making traffic control and congestion problematic.
Combination of factors which are impairing and/or arresting sound growth
o Functional Obsolescence is a contributing factor to sound growth
o Retail markets of the 21st Century are impairing growth of the area
o The buildup of the outlots of the mall area
Defective/Inadequate street layouts
o The layout of the primary and secondary thoroughfares on site are in conflict with key
functional areas such as deliveries and loading docks
o The two primary streets entering the mall property from the north are private streets
o There are several points along the outer travel route that comes into conflict with
secondary travel paths.
Insanitary and Unsafe Conditions
o The Conestoga Mall portion of the study area was tested for the presence of
asbestos and the report filed in August 2022 indicated mitigatable levels of asbestos
present throughout the facility
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/5/2022 Page 113 / 228

Dangerous conditions to life or property due to fire or other causes
o The Conestoga Mall portion of the study area was tested for the presence of
asbestos and the report filed in August 2022 indicated mitigatable levels of asbestos
present throughout the facility
Criteria under Part B of the Blight Definition
The average age of the residential or commercial units in the area is at least forty years
o 28 (80.0%) buildings or improvements were determined to be 40 years of age or older
o 7 (20.0%) buildings or improvements were determined to be less than 40 years of
age
o The average age based upon a cumulative age calculation is 41.8 years.
o 94.3% of the built square footage in the study area is 40 years of age or older.
Stable or decreasing population based upon the last two decennial census
o The study area has had a stable or decreasing population over the last two
decennial census.
The other criteria for Blight were not present in the area, these included:
Tax or special assessment delinquency exceeding fair value of the land.
Defective or unusual condition of title,
Unemployment in the designated area is at least 120% of the state or national average.
The per capita income of the area is lower than the average per capita income of the
city or village in which the area is designated.
These issues were either not present or were limited enough as to have little impact on the
overall condition of the study area.
Substandard Summary
Nebraska State Statute requires that “…an area in which there is a predominance of buildings or
improvements, whether nonresidential or residential in character, which, by reason of
dilapidation, deterioration, age or obsolescence, inadequate provision for ventilation, light, air,
sanitation, or open spaces, high density of population and overcrowding, or the existence of
conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes, or any combination of such
factors, is conducive to ill health, transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency,
and crime, (which cannot be remedied through construction of prisons), and is detrimental to
the public health, safety, morals, or welfare;”
This Study Area in Grand Island meets the defintion of Substandard as defined in the Revised
Nebraska State Statutes.

RECOMMENDATION:
Blight and Substandard Designation
Planning Commission staff is recommending consideration of the following questions as a
starting point in the analysis of this Study and in making a recommendation on the question of
whether the property in question is blighted and substandard.
Recommend Questions for Planning Commission
Does this property meet the statutory requirements to be considered blighted and
substandard? (See the prior statutory references.)
Are the blighted and substandard factors distributed throughout the Redevelopment Area,
so basically good areas are not arbitrarily found to be substandard and blighted simply
because of proximity to areas which are substandard and blighted? Is development of
adjacent property necessary to eliminate blighted and substandard conditions in the area?
Is public intervention appropriate and/or necessary for the redevelopment of the area?
Will a blight declaration increase the likelihood of development/redevelopment in the
near future and is that in the best interest of the City?
What is the policy of the City toward increasing development and redevelopment in this
area of the City?
Findings of fact must be based on the study and testimony presented including all written
material and staff reports. The recommendation must be based on the declaration, not based
on any proposed uses of the site. All of the testimony, a copy of the study and this memo
along with any other information presented at the hearing should be entered into the record of
the hearing.
If the Regional Planning Commission concludes that the area in question meets the definition
of blighted and substandard and supports such conclusion with findings of fact they should
move to recommend approval of the declaration as blighted and substandard based on the
facts presented and identified at this meeting.
If the Regional Planning Commission concludes that the area in question does not meet the
definition of blighted and substandard and supports such conclusions with findings of fact,
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/5/2022 Page 115 / 228

they should move to recommend denial of the declaration as blighted and substandard based
on the facts identified.

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

property by fire and other causes, or any combination of such factors, substantially
impairs or arrests the sound growth of the community, retards the provision of housing
accommodations, or constitutes an economic or social liability and is detrimental to
the public health, safety, morals, or welfare in its present condition and use and (b) in
which there is at least one of the following conditions: (i) Unemployment in the
designated area is at least one hundred twenty percent of the state or national
average; (ii) the average age of the residential or commercial units in the area is at
least forty years; (iii) more than half of the plotted and subdivided property in an area
is unimproved land that has been within the city for forty years and has remained
unimproved during that time; (iv) the per capita income of the area is lower than the
average per capita income of the city or village in which the area is designated; or
(v) the area has had either stable or decreasing population based on the last two
decennial censuses. In no event shall a city of the metropolitan, primary, or first class
designate more than thirty-five percent of the city as blighted, a city of the second
class shall not designate an area larger than fifty percent of the city as blighted, and
a village shall not designate an area larger than one hundred percent of the village
as blighted. A redevelopment project involving a formerly used defense site as
authorized under section 18-2123.01 shall not count towards the percentage
limitations contained in this subdivision;”
“Extremely blighted area means a substandard and blighted area in which: (a) The
average rate of unemployment in the area during the period covered by the most
recent federal decennial census is at least two hundred percent of the average rate
of unemployment in the state during the same period; and (b) the average poverty
rate in the area exceeds twenty percent for the total federal census tract or tracts or
federal census block group or block groups in the area;”
“Substandard area means an area in which there is a predominance of buildings or
improvements, whether nonresidential or residential in character, which, by reason of
dilapidation, deterioration, age or obsolescence, inadequate provision for
ventilation, light, air, sanitation, or open spaces, high density of population and
overcrowding, or the existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire
and other causes, or any combination of such factors, is conducive to ill health,
transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency, and crime, (which
cannot be remedied through construction of prisons), and is detrimental to the public
health, safety, morals, or welfare; and”
“Workforce housing means:
(a) Housing that meets the needs of today's working families;
(b) Housing that is attractive to new residents considering relocation to a rural community;
(c) Owner-occupied housing units that cost not more than two hundred seventy-five
thousand dollars to construct or rental housing units that cost not more than two
hundred thousand dollars per unit to construct. For purposes of this subdivision (c),
housing unit costs shall be updated annually by the Department of Economic
Development based upon the most recent increase or decrease in the Producer Price
Index for all commodities, published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau
of Labor Statistics;
(d) Owner-occupied and rental housing units for which the cost to substantially rehabilitate
exceeds fifty percent of a unit's assessed value; and
(e) Upper-story housing.”
This Blight and Substandard Study is Blighted and Substandard Area 28. The Study is intended to
give the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority, Hall County Regional Planning
Commission and Grand Island City Council the basis for identifying and declaring Blighted and
Substandard conditions are existing within the City’s jurisdiction and as allowed under Chapter
18. Through this process, the City and property owners will attempt to address economic and/or
social liabilities which are harmful to the well-being of the entire community.

Figure 1 shows the study area of this report. A Redevelopment Plan to be submitted in the future
containing, by law, definite local objectives regarding appropriate land uses, improved traffic,
public transportation, public utilities, and other public improvements, and the proposed land
uses and building requirements in the redevelopment area and shall include:
• The boundaries defining the blighted and substandard areas in question (including
existing uses and conditions of the property within the area), and
• A list of the conditions present, which qualify the area as blighted and substandard.
Through the redevelopment process, the City of Grand Island can guide future development
and redevelopment throughout the area. The use of the Community Redevelopment Act by the
City of Grand Island is intended to redevelop and improve the area. Using the Community
Redevelopment Act, the City of Grand Island can assist in the elimination of negative conditions
and implement different programs/projects identified for the City.

along the centerline of US Highway 281 to the point of beginning.
EEXXIISSTTIINNGG LLAANNDD UUSSEESS
The term “Land Use” refers to the developed uses in place within a building or on a specific
parcel of land. The number and type of uses are constantly changing within a community and
produce some impacts either benefitting or detracting from the community. Existing patterns of
land use are often fixed in older communities and neighborhoods, while development in newer
areas is often reflective of current development practices.
The study area is within a highly commercial part of Grand Island. There are commercial uses to
all sides of the study, including the redeveloping area of Blight and Substandard Area 9 from
2012.
Existing Land Use Analysis within Study Area
As part of the planning process, a survey conducted through both in-field observations, as well
as data collection online using the Hall County Assessors website. This survey noted the use of
each parcel of land within the study area. These data from the survey are found in the following
paragraphs.

This section of the study examines the conditions found within the study area. The Findings
Section reviews the conditions based upon the statutory definitions.
CONTRIBUTING FACTORS UNDER PART A OF THE BLIGHT DEFINITION
There were some conditions examined and evaluated in the field and online. Some conditions
are reviewed in detail, on the following pages, while some of the statutory conditions are not
present.
Structural Conditions
Existing structural conditions of buildings in the study area were determined using the Hall County
Assessor’s database. Structures rated out as either Very Good, Good, Fair, Average, or badly
worn. Based upon the data provided to the planning team, the following is the breakdown for
structures in the study area:
• 2 (5.7%) structures rated as very good
• 5 (14.3%) structures rated as good
• 0 (0.0%) structure rated as fair
• 28 (80.0%) structures rated as average
• 0 (0.0%) structures rated as badly worn

Blight and Substandard Study – Conestoga Mall
Page 8 Blight and Substandard Study – Conestoga Mall
The exterior portion of the mall is showing considerable wear, likely due to deferred
maintenance. In the photos on the previous page, there are examples of where masonry and
wood construction has been compromised and is in danger of falling from the building onto the
ground. Based upon a visual ground inspection, it appears like there is considerable water
penetration in the brick-and-mortar system. Said photos also show water penetration inside one
of the structures. An assumption was made, based upon the data, that an average condition or
less would constitute less than desirable conditions due to age and condition of the
structure/building. It is common for older structures to get more maintenance and upkeep to
maintain a good or higher condition. Even an average structure shows some signs of
deteriorating which in turn can become a dilapidated structure in the future if not maintained.
Overall, 80.0% of the structures in this study area are an average condition or worse.
Due to the stated conditions found in the Hall County Assessor’s data, the condition of the
structures is a contributing factor.

Deterioration of Site or Other Improvements
Site Improvements Conditions
The site improvements include the areas determined to be common areas for public ingress and
egress to the study area as well as the area designed to move vehicular traffic through the site.
Also, this includes the actual surface parking areas. The condition of the site improvements varies
greatly. The Study Area contains a major deteriorated condition; the parking areas throughout
the area, as well as the demarcated driving areas. The parking areas throughout the entire
Study Area are in a serious state of deterioration. They are not yet in a dilapidated condition. The
parking surface and driving areas contain major surface cracking, small break-ups and
spawling. These conditions have been likely caused by several circumstances over the years,
including:
· Lack of maintenance
· Sub-soil conditions
· Heavier than expected traffic
· Freeze/thaw cycles
Preventing a number of these items are possible through proper design, enforcement, and
maintenance, with maintenance being a key. Photos below indicate examples of different
deteriorated conditions within the parking and driving areas across the entire site. Due to a large
amount of broken pavement in the Study Area, the parking areas are considered to be
deteriorated or in a state of deteriorating; therefore, they are a direct contributing factor to the
conditions of blight.

Blight and Substandard Study – Conestoga Mall
Page 10 Blight and Substandard Study – Conestoga Mall
Diversity of Ownership
Throughout the study area, there are 13 different property owners. However, in most cases, the
difference is that one company owns the structure on the site; while, another entity, usually,
Conestoga North or Conestoga Realty owns the ground underneath the structure. This creates
potential issues with future redevelopment of structures and property if the different ownership
groups disagree. Also, the fact structures sit on land owned by another party will create a
potential detriment to future redevelopment. Due to this factor, it may be necessary for a public
intervention to guide future redevelopment activities in this specific study area. Based upon the
analysis, sufficient ownership issues present to make Diversity of Ownership a contributing factor
for Blighting.
Improper Subdivision or Obsolete Platting
Improper Subdivision or Obsolete Platting is present in several ways. These factors are bulleted
below:
• First and foremost are the private streets on the north side of the study area, Conestoga
Drive and Overland Road.
• The developed area in the northeast corner of the study area has been built out in a
clustered manner, making traffic circulation difficult.
• The positioning of lots along West State Street and North Webb Road have access drives
in a manner that makes traffic control and congestion problematic.
See Figure 5 for specific locations of the discussed items above. Based upon the analysis,
sufficient ownership issues present to make Improper Subdivision or Obsolete Platting a
contributing factor for Blighting.
Faulty Lot Layout
Similar to Improper Subdivision or Obsolete Platting, Faulty Lot Layout is present in similar ways.
These factors are bulleted below:
• The developed area in the northeast corner of the study area has been built out in a
clustered manner, making traffic circulation difficult.
• The positioning of lots along West State Street and North Webb Road have access drives
in a manner making traffic control and congestion problematic.
See Figure 6 for specific locations of the discussed items above. Based upon the analysis,
sufficient ownership issues present to make Faulty Lot Layout a contributing factor for Blighting.
Combination of factors which are impairing and/or arresting sound growth
There are several factors present within the study area meeting this criterion are discussed in the
following paragraphs.
Functional Obsolescence
The primary structure within the study area is the Conestoga Mall. The mall was constructed in
the mid-1970’s and was designed using common mall layouts and concepts. However, as the
retail markets have been changing, these types of facilities have been losing popularity. It is a
similar issue seen by the Grand Island Mall which was declared Blighted and Substandard in 2012
and has been the focus of several redevelopment projects since the declaration.
Malls and retail use constructed in today’s economy are more open air, even in colder climate
regions. The newer mall models are doing more to make the shopping experience more than
“just shopping.” These older regional malls have lost favor with consumers across the United
States. Some examples within the region include the Imperial Mall in Hastings, the mall in North
Platte, the mall in Hutchinson, KS. The phenomena have also affected larger cities such as
Omaha; Kansas City, MO; Overland Park, KS; and more.
The survival of this mall into the future will be dependent on ownership willingness to re-focus the
mall itself.

Retail Markets of the 21st Century
Retail in the 21st Century has been evolving rapidly. The evolution led by consumers wanting
more than the 1960 to 1970 malls with their shopping experience has been a big factor;
however, the rise of e-commerce and Amazon has also been a major contributing factor to the
retail revolution.
With the retail revolution of the 21st Century, several mainstream retailers have had trouble
competing. The major tenants of Sears, Yonkers, and JC Penneys have all vacated their spaces
at the Conestoga Mall. Yonkers left in 2015, while the other two left shortly after. Sears filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and closed February 2019. All three tenants left behind
empty boxes, merchandise, and storage equipment in the spaces. A lack of major retailers
located at Conestoga Mall impairs and arrests sound growth of this facility in the future.
The buildup of the mall area
Looking at the Conestoga Mall on aerials, the mall is located on the southernmost location of
the land. North of the primary mall was eventual built-out with smaller strip centers. These strip
centers to the north impair the future expansion of the primary mall. Also, the location of the
primary mall and strip centers creates an issue with expanding parking on the mall property.
These factors do impair and arrest sound growth of the study area.
Defective/Inadequate Street Layouts
Under normal blight evaluation, this criteria would apply to public streets. However, in the case
of this study area, it applies to the internal traffic circulation of the mall property and the
adjoining strip centers to the north. Figure 8 indicates the primary and secondary circulation
loops. The Figure also indicates potential concerns with the layouts on the site. There are enough
circulation concerns on-site to make Defective/Inadequate Street Layouts a contributing factor
to declaring the area as Blighted.

INSANITARY AND UNSAFE CONDITIONS
Woodsonia commissioned an asbestos analysis of the Conestoga Mall portion of the study area.
The study was completed by Heartland Testing and Consulting LLC in August 2022. The following
areas for the mall were reviewed and/or sampled. Inspection of the following occupied spaces
were not completed due to no access: Units 3A, 4, 7A, 9, 23B, 33, 34, 38 & 40. Inspection of sub-
flooring in the occupied tenant spaces of the facility were limited due to current sales area floor
coverings. Additional review of the occupied spaces sales are sub-floors should be completed
when the spaces are available for destructive review. Below is a summary of the spaces with
limited review: 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 17, 19, 20, 23A, 24, 30, 31, 36, 37, 39A, 40A, 41, 42, 44, 49, 50, 52, 54,

CONTRIBUTING FACTORS UNDER PART B OF THE BLIGHT DEFINITION
There were some conditions examined and evaluated in the field and online. Some conditions
will be reviewed in detail, on the following pages, while some of the statutory conditions are not
present.
Age of Structure
Age of structures can be a contributing factor to the blighted and substandard conditions in an
area. Statutes allow for a predominance of structures 40 years of age or older to be a
contributing factor regardless of their condition. The following paragraphs document the
structural age of the structures within the Study Area. Note the age of structure was determined
from the Appraisal data within the Hall County Assessor’s website data.

Another method to analyze this area is using square footage. State statute discusses commercial
units; in the commercial world, it is not about the building as much as it is about square footage.
Therefore, this analysis is also examining the age of the built square footage. Based upon data
from the Hall County Assessor’s office, there is a total of 647,019 built square footage in the area.
Of the 647,019 total square footage, 610,089 built square feet are 40 years or older, which is
94.3% of the total build out. Therefore, more than 50% of the square footage is 40 years of age or
older.

The final means to examine the age of structures is the actual number of structures within the 40
years or more or less than 40 years categories. Overall, there are 35 structures within the study
area, based upon the Hall County Assessor’s data (Hall County Assessor divides the primary mall
structure into 11 separate units, thus 35 total). After researching the structural age on the Hall
County Assessor’s and Treasurer’s websites, the following breakdown was determined:
• 28 (80.0%) unit were determined to be 40 years of age or older
• 7 (20.0%) unit were determined to be less than 40 years of age
However, when examining the age based upon a cumulative approach, as in Table 2, the
average age of the primary structures is equal to 41.8 years; thus, meeting the requirements of
the statutes.
The age of the structures would be a direct contributing factor.
Stable or decreasing population based upon the last two decennial census
The population of the study area has seen a stable population based upon the last two
decennial census’. Over the course of the past 40 years there have not been any residential
units within this study area.
Therefore, stable or decreasing population based upon the last two decennial censuses is a
contributing factor to the blighted conditions of the area.
These conditions are contributing to the blighted conditions of the study area.
Criteria under Part A of the Blight Definition
• Substantial number of deteriorating structures
o Within the study are 80.0% of the structures were deemed to be in either average or
badly worn condition.
o Several locations around the primary mall are indicating moisture damage to the
brick façade. There is clear moisture damage inside of the mall as well.
• Deterioration of site or other improvements
o The majority of the asphalt parking areas around the primary mall is in a deteriorating
state and appears to have forgone updating for a considerable time.
o There are several places where the parking surfaces are in a worse than deteriorated
state based upon the photographs in the report.
• Diversity of Ownership
o There are 13 different property owners within the study area.
o The majority of the buildings owned by corporations, sit on top of ground owned by
another party, typically, Conestoga Realty or Conestoga North.
• Improper Subdivision or Obsolete Platting
o First and foremost are the private streets on the north side of the study area,
Conestoga Drive and Overland Road.
o The developed area in the northeast corner of the study area has been built out in a
clustered manner, making traffic circulation difficult.
o The positioning of lots along West State Street and North Webb Road have access
drives in a manner that makes traffic control and congestion problematic.
• Faulty Lot Layout
o The developed area in the northeast corner of the study area has been built out in a
clustered manner, making traffic circulation difficult.
o The positioning of lots along West State Street and North Webb Road have access
drives in a manner making traffic control and congestion problematic.

Blight and Substandard Study – Conestoga Mall
Page 22 Blight and Substandard Study – Conestoga Mall
• Combination of factors which are impairing and/or arresting sound growth
o Functional Obsolescence is a contributing factor to sound growth
o Retail markets of the 21st Century are impairing growth of the area
o The buildup of the outlots of the mall area
• Defective/Inadequate street layouts
o The layout of the primary and secondary thoroughfares on site are in conflict with key
functional areas such as deliveries and loading docks
o The two primary streets entering the mall property from the north are private streets
o There are several points along the outer travel route that comes into conflict with
secondary travel paths.
• Insanitary and Unsafe Conditions
o The Conestoga Mall portion of the study area was tested for the presence of
asbestos and the report filed in August 2022 indicated mitigatable levels of asbestos
present throughout the facility
• Dangerous conditions to life or property due to fire or other causes
o The Conestoga Mall portion of the study area was tested for the presence of
asbestos and the report filed in August 2022 indicated mitigatable levels of asbestos
present throughout the facility
Criteria under Part B of the Blight Definition
• The average age of the residential or commercial units in the area is at least forty years
o 28 (80.0%) buildings or improvements were determined to be 40 years of age or older
o 7 (20.0%) buildings or improvements were determined to be less than 40 years of
age
o The average age based upon a cumulative age calculation is 41.8 years.
o 94.3% of the built square footage in the study area is 40 years of age or older.
• Stable or decreasing population based upon the last two decennial census
o The study area has had a stable or decreasing population over the last two
decennial census.
The other criteria for Blight were not present in the area, these included:
• Tax or special assessment delinquency exceeding fair value of the land.
• Defective or unusual condition of title,
• Unemployment in the designated area is at least 120% of the state or national average.
• The per capita income of the area is lower than the average per capita income of the
city or village in which the area is designated.
These issues were either not present or were limited enough as to have little impact on the
overall condition of the study area.

Substandard Summary
Nebraska State Statute requires that “…an area in which there is a predominance of buildings or
improvements, whether nonresidential or residential in character, which, by reason of
dilapidation, deterioration, age or obsolescence, inadequate provision for ventilation, light, air,
sanitation, or open spaces, high density of population and overcrowding, or the existence of
conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes, or any combination of such
factors, is conducive to ill health, transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency,
and crime, (which cannot be remedied through construction of prisons), and is detrimental to
the public health, safety, morals, or welfare;”

Any building material that contains greater than 1% asbestos is considered regulated and should be removed by a State of Nebraska certified asbestos abatement contractor prior to renovation or demolition activities.
Any presumed or building material known to contain <1% asbestos must be removed prior to renovation work to meet OSHA occupational exposure requirements. Sample C-2: Wall Board System Joint Compound
The definition of asbestos-containing material (ACM) presented at 29 CFR 1910.1001(b), 29 CFR 1915(b), and 29 CFR 1926.1101(b); OSHA regards each of the items used to construct wall shells from wallboard panels as separate materials. Each of these materials that may contain asbestos must be analyzed separately for their asbestos content. OSHA does not regard wallboard/gypsum wallboard and joint compound as a surfacing material. If a wall shell is constructed of ACM joint compound and wallboard panels that are not ACM, then removal of the wall shell is considered OSHA Class II asbestos work. For a full listing of materials tested please see table 1. Laboratory analytical results are presented in Appendix D. Asbestos sample photographs are presented in Appendix E. Facility diagram is presented in
Appendix F.

Scope of Services
A visual inspection and sampling survey was conducted in general accordance with EPA/NESHAP
guidelines to determine the presence of suspect asbestos-containing building materials (ACBM) in demolition and renovation projects. Survey Methodology
This asbestos survey was performed by a State of Nebraska licensed asbestos inspector. An initial building walk through was conducted to determine the presence of suspect materials, homogeneous materials, and functional spaces throughout the facility. Following the walk through, the inspector collects samples of selected materials identified as suspect ACBM. Sampling is limited to those materials which do not involve destruction of building elements, physical barriers, or the structural integrity of the item being tested. Confined spaces and areas with structural deficiencies are also not inspected unless noted. EPA guidelines were used to determine the sampling protocol. Sampling locations were chosen to be representative of the
homogeneous sampling area. While an effort was made to collect samples randomly, samples were taken preferentially from areas which were the least visible to minimize disturbance of the material.
Laboratory Methodology
Bulk samples obtained from the facility were analyzed at an accredited laboratory listed on the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) or point
count methodology (PC) as needed. Laboratory certifications and statements of qualifications can be provided as needed. Warranty
HTC and its inspectors are trained and licensed to perform the services provided. All care is taken to provide a product of the highest quality in line with professional standards. All care is taken to examine the entirety of the facility or area requested in so far as it is safe to do so. The value of the warranty or any claims cannot exceed the value paid for this report or survey. Survey and Analysis Results
For a detailed report on laboratory findings please refer to Appendix D. Quantities of materials sampled
are estimated from field measurements. Owner, contractor, or other operators should field verify all quantities to ensure accuracy.

Results apply to the sample as received and relate only to the items tested. This report is for the exclusive use of the addressed client and shall not be reproduced except in full,
without written approval by Eurofins J3 Resources, Inc. (EJ3). Samples are analyzed according to the methods listed above and are subject to the inherent limitations of PLM
and interference of matrix components. Reporting limit for the above method is a function of the quantity of sample analyzed, matrix interference, sample preparation, fiber size,
and distribution. Asbestos may be detected in concentrations of <1% by area if sufficient material is analyzed. All reported results have been determined by calibrated visual
estimation (CVE) unless otherwise noted. According to the USEPA 1991 Clarification and the Texas Asbestos Health Protection Rule, a material containing asbestos of <10%
by CVE (including <1% asbestos) can only be demonstrated as a non-asbestos containing building material (non-ACBM) if confirmed by point counting. EJ3 recommends TEM
confirmation of soils, vermiculite and non-friable organically bound materials (NOB) reported as None Detected or < 1% Asbestos by PLM. All samples received in good condi-
tion unless otherwise noted. This report shall not be used to claim product approval, certification, or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST, or any agency of the federal government.

Results apply to the sample as received and relate only to the items tested. This report is for the exclusive use of the addressed client and shall not be reproduced except in full,
without written approval by Eurofins J3 Resources, Inc. (EJ3). Samples are analyzed according to the methods listed above and are subject to the inherent limitations of PLM
and interference of matrix components. Reporting limit for the above method is a function of the quantity of sample analyzed, matrix interference, sample preparation, fiber size,
and distribution. Asbestos may be detected in concentrations of <1% by area if sufficient material is analyzed. All reported results have been determined by calibrated visual
estimation (CVE) unless otherwise noted. According to the USEPA 1991 Clarification and the Texas Asbestos Health Protection Rule, a material containing asbestos of <10%
by CVE (including <1% asbestos) can only be demonstrated as a non-asbestos containing building material (non-ACBM) if confirmed by point counting. EJ3 recommends TEM
confirmation of soils, vermiculite and non-friable organically bound materials (NOB) reported as None Detected or < 1% Asbestos by PLM. All samples received in good condi-
tion unless otherwise noted. This report shall not be used to claim product approval, certification, or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST, or any agency of the federal government.

dispose of all samples after a period of thirty (30) days, according to all state and federal guidelines, unless otherwise specified.
Inhomogeneous samples are separated into homogeneous subsamples and analyzed individually. ND means no fibers were detected. When
detected, the minimum detection and reporting limit is less than 1% unless point counting is performed. Floor tile samples may contain large
amounts of interference material and it is recommended that the sample be analyzed by gravimetric point count analysis to lower the detection
limit and to aid in asbestos identification.

dispose of all samples after a period of thirty (30) days, according to all state and federal guidelines, unless otherwise specified.
Inhomogeneous samples are separated into homogeneous subsamples and analyzed individually. ND means no fibers were detected. When
detected, the minimum detection and reporting limit is less than 1% unless point counting is performed. Floor tile samples may contain large
amounts of interference material and it is recommended that the sample be analyzed by gravimetric point count analysis to lower the detection
limit and to aid in asbestos identification.

Results apply to the sample as received and relate only to the items tested. This report is for the exclusive use of the addressed client and shall not be reproduced except in full,
without written approval by Eurofins J3 Resources, Inc. (EJ3). Samples are analyzed according to the methods listed above and are subject to the inherent limitations of PLM
and interference of matrix components. Reporting limit for the above method is a function of the quantity of sample analyzed, matrix interference, sample preparation, fiber size,
and distribution. Asbestos may be detected in concentrations of <1% by area if sufficient material is analyzed. All reported results have been determined by calibrated visual
estimation (CVE) unless otherwise noted. According to the USEPA 1991 Clarification and the Texas Asbestos Health Protection Rule, a material containing asbestos of <10%
by CVE (including <1% asbestos) can only be demonstrated as a non-asbestos containing building material (non-ACBM) if confirmed by point counting. EJ3 recommends TEM
confirmation of soils, vermiculite and non-friable organically bound materials (NOB) reported as None Detected or < 1% Asbestos by PLM. All samples received in good condi-
tion unless otherwise noted. This report shall not be used to claim product approval, certification, or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST, or any agency of the federal government.

PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING
COMMISSION:
September 20, 2022
SUBJECT:CRA Extremely Blighted Study C-05-23GI
PROPOSAL: Attached is a copy of an Extremely Blighted Study prepared as prepared for
Woodsonia Acquisitions LLC by Kurt Elder, AICP working with Marvin Planning Consultants.
This study identifies those areas of Grand Island that could qualify as Extremely Blighted as
defined by N.R.S.S 18-2103 (13).
Extremely blighted area means a substandard and blighted area
in which: (a) The average rate of unemployment in the area during
the period covered by the most recent federal decennial census or
American Community Survey 5-Year Estimate is at least two
hundred percent of the average rate of unemployment in the state
during the same period; and (b) the average poverty rate in the
area exceeds twenty percent for the total federal census tract or
tracts or federal census block group or block groups in the area;
The study as prepared and submitted identifies properties that can be considered Extremely
Blighted. This only includes property that is located within the municipal limits of Grand Island.
The Planning Commission recommendation must be forwarded to the Grand Island City Council
within 30 days of making the recommendation.
Mr. Elder is a planner with the City of Lincoln Community Development Division and
worked closely with the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s Center for Public Affairs and
Senator Justin Wayne’s office to develop this methodology for designating areas as
Extremely Blighted. The City of Lincoln has used this methodology to designate portions of
Lincoln as Extremely Blighted.
OVERVIEW
Designating an area as Extremely Blighted provides two potential benefits to redevelopment in
the area and any residents in the area along with a benefit to the City.
1.The term of TIF bonds in Extremely Blighted areas is may be extended from 15 years to
20 years. This will provide additional capital to the project making it more likely to
succeed and to be built out in a shorter time frame.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/5/2022 Page 197 / 228

2.Provide an income tax credit of up to $5000 to first time home buyers that purchase
qualifying homes in areas that have been declared Extremely Blight as their primary
residence prior to January 1, 2026. N.R.S.S. 77-2715.07
3.Remove those areas that are declared Extremely Blighted from the 35% cap on area that
can be declared Blighted and Substandard N.R.S.S. 18-2103 (3)
Blighted Area of the Community
The City of Grand Island, as a City of the First Class, is permitted to designate an area of up to
35% of the municipal limits as blighted and substandard. As of September 6, 2022, 24.78% of
the City has been declared blighted and substandard. Area 28 would add 78.45 acres to the total
of blighted and substandard property and would, if approved, add 0.40% to the total area
declared blighted and substandard bringing the total to 25.19%.
Any area that is declared extremely blighted is not counted against the 35% maximum area that
can be declared blighted and substandard. If all of the areas identified in this study as qualifying
as Extremely Blight are declared as such the possible 25.19% would be reduced to about 19%
Recommend Questions for Planning Commission
Does this property meet the statutory requirements to be considered Extremely Blighted
and substandard? (See the prior statutory references.)
Is public intervention appropriate and/or necessary for the redevelopment of the area?
What is the policy of the City toward increasing development and redevelopment in this
area of the City?
Findings of fact must be based on the study and testimony presented including all written
material and staff reports. The recommendation must be based on the declaration, not based
on any proposed uses of the site. All of the testimony, a copy of the study and this memo
along with any other information presented at the hearing should be entered into the record of
the hearing.
If the Regional Planning Commission concludes that the area in question meets the definition
of Extremely Blighted and supports such conclusion with findings of fact they should move
to recommend approval of the declaration as blighted and substandard based on the facts
presented and identified at this meeting.
If the Regional Planning Commission concludes that the area in question does not meet the
definition of Extremely Blighted and supports such conclusions with findings of fact, they
should move to recommend denial of the declaration as blighted and substandard based on
the facts identified.

EXTREMELY BLIGHTED DETERMINATION STUDY
CITY OF GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA
AUGUST 2022
A study to determine if areas already declared Blighted and
Substandard meet the Legislative requirements to be declared
extremely blighted for purposes of receiving potential funding,
extended TIF periods and tax credits.
Prepared by Marvin Planning Consultants, Inc and Kurt Elder, AICP
AUGUST 2022
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/5/2022 Page 199 / 228
BLIGHT and EXTREMELY BLIGHTED AREA STUDY
REF: Statute 18-2101 to 18-2154 and section of the act, aka Community Development Law
REASONS FOR COMPLETING AN EXTREMELY BLIGHTED STUDY
Section 2: (1) For any city that (a) intends to carry out a redevelopment project which will
involve the construction of workforce housing in an extremely blighted area as authorized under
subdivision (28)(g) of section 18-2103, (b) intends to declare an area as an extremely blighted
area for purposes of funding decisions under subdivision (1)(b) of section 58-708, or (c) intends to
declare an area as an extremely blighted area in order for individuals purchasing residences in
such area to qualify for the income tax credit authorized in subsection (7) of section 77-2715.07,
the governing body of such city shall first declare, by resolution adopted after the public
hearings required under this section, such area to be an extremely blighted area.
LEGISLATIVE DIRECTION
Section 2: (2) Prior to making such declaration, the governing body of the city shall conduct or
cause to be conducted a study or an analysis on whether the area is extremely blighted and
shall submit the question of whether such area is extremely blighted to the planning commission
or board of the city for its review and recommendation. (…) The planning commission or board
shall submit its written recommendations to the governing body of the city within thirty days after
the public hearing.
PROCESS
Brief: For an area to be designated as extremely blighted and substandard two finding, through
three facets, need to be meet. These facets are defined in Nebraska statute. (i.e. 18-2103 –
Terms, …) However, for brevity they are simplified into two broad components (a) areas that
have been found blighted and substandard through city council action, and (b) have been
found to be contain extremely blighted components.
This study primarily determines which areas meet the statutory definition of extremely blighted
An approved blighted and substandard area is also extremely blighted if (i) the average rate of
unemployment in the area during the period covered by the most recent federal decennial
census or American Community Survey 5-Year Estimate is at least two hundred percent of the
average rate of unemployment in the state during the same period; and (ii) the average poverty
rate in the area exceeds twenty percent for the total federal census tract or tracts or federal
census block group or block groups in the area
Because Grand Island’s approved blight areas do not conform to defined census geographies.
This study honors the intention of the statute and completes an independent analysis of poverty
and unemployment components. Census areas that are qualified in each study form the basis
for determining extreme blight. To be clear if ‘Geography A’ was qualified in both studies then
any declared blight in ‘Geography A’ could be nominated as extremely blighted.
Lastly, if a census geography or portion of is in the City of Grand Island corporate limits it was
considered in the development of the separate components.
DATA TABLES
Council Approved Blight -
The Community development law requires that an Extremely Blighted and Substandard
area be an approved blighted area. The City of Grand Island keeps a list of approved
blight areas in their offices and online at https://www.grand-
island.com/departments/regional-planning/community-redevelopment-authority-cra/blight-
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 10/5/2022 Page 200 / 228
study-areas. Also, attached is ‘Proposed Blight Area’ and ‘Proposed Extreme Blight Area’ which
details a blighted area. Both blight and extreme blight can share common public hearings.
Extremely Blighted Components -
Part (i) is a state comparison. The 2020 Nebraska Unemployment rate according to the US
Census American Community Survey (five-year average) was 3.37%. Therefore, the average rate
of our selected area would require an unemployment rate of at least 6.74%
Marvin Planning Consultants, Inc. and Kurt Elder (The Team) developed an area with an average
unemployment greater than of 7.52%. An area average is determined by using the sum of
estimated factors and NOT the average of each piece. Attached is ’Unemployment Area’,
which details our proposed unemployment area.
Part (ii) is a local area finding. Grand Island’s 2020 poverty rate was 11.83% but in line with state
statute, we developed an area with greater than 20% poverty. An area average is determined
by using the sum of estimated factors and NOT the average of each piece. Attached is ‘Poverty
Review’, which details our proposed poverty area.
All data was 2020 US Census American Community 5-year Survey data. We choose to utilize only
block-group level information from the census to minimize independent margins of error.
Furthermore, our data methodology and averaging process/interpetation received support from
UNO’s David Drozd Research Coordinator at the UNO Center for Public Affairs and notified Sen.
Justin Wayne (i.e., Nebraska Legislature, Chair of the Urban Affairs Committee) office to confirm
his support. His legislative assistant relayed support.
ANALYSIS
The Team overlaid these three facets/area reviews (i.e., approved blight, 20%+ poverty,
200%+ of the Nebraska’s unemployment rate, and delineated areas where the three
intersected. This proposed extremely blighted area is attached as ‘Proposed Extreme Blight
Area’.
