Mayor Black displayed a map of the boundaries established by the Gretna Boundary Agreement
and explained that the City has long had a goal of having a presence at the anticipated 1- 80
interchange near S 192" d Street. He noted that the proposed interchange will offer businesses
looking to relocate to the Omaha metro an appealing midpoint between the Omaha and Lincoln
labor markets. He noted that the proposed plan contemplates housing within the sub- area to
support the anticipated businesses.
Mayor Black stated that the City is currently working on the adoption of a new Comprehensive
Plan, noting that public input on the plan emphasized that the existing park systems make
Papillion unique. He explained that the park system is contemplated to continue through the sub-
area. He added that the topography of the area also offers an opportunity to add a meandering
ridgeline boulevard, noting that the location of such boulevard is conceptual.
Finally, Mayor Black mentioned that the Omaha Public Power District ( OPPD) is currently
completing site selection for a solar farm and natural gas plant in Sarpy County. He explained
that the sub- area map will provide context to the development expectations if such facilities are
requested within Papillion' s jurisdiction.
Chairwoman Hoch called for proponents and opponents. She noted that public comment was
received in writing from Carrie Duffy, 408 Hillside Avenue ( Yutan, NE) on behalf of Roger
Langpaul, 1753 S 49th Street( West Des Moines, IA).
Carrie Duffy, 408 Hillside Avenue ( Yutan, NE), stepped forward on behalf of Schewe Farms, Inc.
an owner of property within the sub-area. She expressed concerns with the proposed roadway
system shown on the sub- area map. She expressed that the ridgeline boulevard is not conducive
for industrial traffic. She stated that the boulevard bisects the Schewe Farms, Inc. property, which
may devalue the property. She stated that the boulevard may raise concerns for potential
developers.
Seeing no further input, Chairwoman Hoch closed the public hearing and called for Commission
Discussion.
Mr. Keller contemplated that the boulevard location was conceptual, therefore, subject to change,
but may make developers leery. He asked whether there is a path to annex new development in
this area. Mr. Gibbons stated that the ridgeline boulevard is conceptual in nature, but was
proposed in the current location because of topography. He explained that the design may be
modified when the new Comprehensive Plan is adopted. He added that current City limits extends
to Sarpy County Power Park West in this area, therefore, the majority of the sub- area falls within
the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction but is not contiguous to existing city limits.
Mr. Masters noted that industrial traffic would likely stay on the regional transit corridors, making
the proposed ridgeline boulevard more attractive to personal vehicle traffic. Mayor Black reiterated
that the ridgeline boulevard design is conceptual and offered local examples where this design is
used. He noted that the meandering boulevard is a newer concept in development, and may
concern some developers until they are educated on the advantages of this design.
Mr. Masters asked whether the change in business operations due to COVID- 19 may have an
impact on the build out of a business park. Mayor Black offered an overview of the types of
businesses he anticipates this location would attract.

Planning Commission
July 29, 2020
Mr. Keller asked for clarity on the purpose of the ridgeline boulevard. Mr. Gibbons noted that the
pending Comprehensive Plan contemplates mixed use nodes and residential that would be
served by the boulevard. He stated that the boulevard would offer alternate transportation routes
from the regional transit corridor for local traffic. He anticipated that the transit corridors would be
more attractive to truck traffic.
Mr. Hrabik asked why the parks are not located closer to the ridgeline boulevard. Mr. Gibbons
noted that the proposed parks locations were determined based on topography. He added that
the parks would likely be walkable from nearby mixed use nodes or residential.
Mr. Carson asked whether the boulevard design would be similar to the design of Schram Road
south of Shadow Lake Towne Center. Mr. Gibbons stated that the design would be defined in the
Comprehensive Plan.
With no further discussion,
Motion was made by Mr. Carson, seconded by Mr. Hrabik, to
recommend approval of the Southwest Sub-Area FLU Map Comprehensive Plan Amendment
CPA-20- 0001) because the proposal is compliant with State Statute; generally consistency with
the current Future Land Use Map, as previously amended; generally consistent with the goals of
the Comprehensive Plan; and consistent with the existing development pattern established within
the Southwest Sub-Area. Roll Call: Seven yeas, no nays. Motion carried.
Text Change- An ordinance to amend Table 205-38 of Article IV( Zoning District Regulations) of
Chapter 205 of the Papillion Zoning Ordinance to allow Custom Manufacturing in the LC Limited
Commercial by special use permit. The applicant is the City of Papillion. ( Custom Manufacturing
Amendment) TC- 20- 0003
Chairwoman Hoch opened the public hearing.
Travis Gibbons, 122 E 3rd Street, stepped forward to represent the applicant. He explained that
the proposed text change seeks to allow Custom Manufacturing uses in the LC Limited
Commercial District with a Special Use Permit. He described that this change came about
because a compounding pharmacy is attempting to relocate to a former residence that is zoned
LC Limited Commercial. The City would allow the use as a home based business or home
occupation; however, the state will not license the business if a person resides in the structure.
Mr. Gibbons identified that allowing Custom Manufacturing within the LC District with a Special
Use Permit will give boutique businesses an opportunity to locate in the Downtown area, and
function as a neighborhood commercial use. He provided examples of businesses that would fall
into this use type that would be a good fit if similarly situation such as candle makers, jewelry
makers, small scale wood workers, etc.
Chairwoman Hoch called for proponents and opponents. Seeing no further input, Chairwoman
Hoch closed the public hearing and called for Commission Discussion.
Mr. Carson asked staff to clarify whether allowing Custom Manufacturing by Special Use Permit
in the LC District would require such businesses to complete a public process to operate. Mr.
Gibbons answered in the affirmative.
Chairwoman Hoch asked where LC Zoning would be commonplace in a residential neighborhood.
Mr. Gibbons explained that there are several properties situated in or near the Downtown Overlay
District that appear to be residential in nature, but are zoned LC.

medications to meet the needs of individual patients.

recommend approval of the Custom Manufacturing Amendment ( TC- 20- 0003) because the
