The council approved the resolution, R25‑0068, on a 6–2 vote (Councilman Sunday and Councilman Klug voted no).

The amendment allows the developer to pursue an administrative replat and building permits for Lot 84 to accommodate the national tire‑service operator. Brent Peller, representing the applicant, said the change will support retail and restaurant activity in the district. “This will bring jobs. This will bring sales tax. This will bring valuation,” Peller told the council.

Why it matters: supporters argued the auto service will activate an outer edge of the mixed‑use area and help drive customers into the district’s core. Opponents — including council members relaying constituent concerns — said the change diverges from uses residents were told would be located at the city entrance and raised questions about outdoor storage, traffic and compatibility with nearby housing.

During the public hearing and council questions, members pressed the applicant and staff on storage and screening. Peller said the operator’s model is “same day, get in, get out” and that “there is no outside storage.” City staff and the applicant pointed to language in the existing mixed‑use agreement and the project’s covenants that, they said, already bar outdoor storage and require a minimum 25‑foot landscape buffer along Highway 370. The developer also said the building will meet the city’s four‑sided architecture and design requirements.

Councilman Stubbe moved approval; Councilman Glover seconded. The motion passed 6–2. The amendment does not itself grant building permits: Peller said the next steps will include an administrative replat with city staff and then standard permitting and design‑review steps.

Discussion highlights captured in the meeting included repeated assurances by the developer that the operator would not store tires or vehicles outdoors, that dumpsters and service area screening would comply with design standards, and that covenants restricting outside storage would be recorded against the parcel. Council members asked for follow‑up to ensure enforcement at permitting and asked staff to confirm that the mixed‑use agreement’s prohibitions can be enforced administratively.

The council’s vote advances a change that the developer said will help recruit customers to the Tower District’s nascent retail and restaurant areas, while several council members and speakers said the broader master plan has shifted from what residents were originally told at earlier public meetings.

Votes at a glance: Motion to approve resolution R25‑0068 (first amendment to the Highway 370 mixed‑use development agreement) — motion by Councilman Stubbe, second by Councilman Glover; tally 6 yes, 2 no (Sunday, Klug); outcome: approved.

The council packet materials and staff comments presented at Tuesday’s meeting indicate design guidelines and the mixed‑use agreement remain the governing standards for the site; the amendment only changes the list of allowed uses. No building permits were approved at the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Papillion City Council - April 1, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Papillion City Council on Tuesday approved a first amendment to the Highway 370 mixed‑use development agreement that allows auto services on Lot 84, a change supporters said will bring customers and tax revenue and opponents said departs from earlier promises to neighbors.","taxTitle","City Council Meetings, City of Papillion, Sarpy County, Nebraska","taxId",69666,"location","Nebraska","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6091770,"Council approves multiple land‑use items, including Baleno preliminary plat and Old Public Works rezone",2529,313000,2842000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2858399-f01944cec1130ad5e253ab808bdb3be5&start=313&end=2842","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2858399-f01944cec1130ad5e253ab808bdb3be5/thumbnail_313000.jpg","/articles/6091770/Nebraska/Council-approves-multiple-landuse-items-including-Baleno-preliminary-plat-and-Old-Public-Works-rezone","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6091770-c5fd9472902ec991e078c80dc1a605ed/orig.mp4?Expires=1770824292&Signature=T6-ZgsFn3BHd-Cg6ZBrxwFZSzHRSmvWI25IL5j-W-LKZRwVkRxXoEB7TSqA~6vVd-DT5VyR06a6TUe1rfmSC5Jxm8aqQiwFlQ0O7cy~XVI2C72M7cccDEwHttLxX4UmsYG~ACar~vT5hS4VKEIfGOdKXMEtVC-Hib-pS06vHpuSiYP8gAkwHPBTk8UTgEUKTpJoacm3uVGN3Yy-l3~xr1F33TiDk0FcmyLhzoUkMoYzPBbucj6anXHun5V1qcmJL5awe5nPIinlsN2pcrvq58yvRscqdA~bpZqrs0GIzBG6UtDcis7hkgRXgbNNPP2ECRT04aRSGs-IBXwNXvJLNRQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Papillion City Council on April 1 voted to advance several land‑use items that together move multiple development projects forward in the city. Key actions included approvals tied to the Baleno Land Development project (South Ridge Village), an amendment to the Highway 370 mixed‑use agreement and zoning, vacation and final‑plat actions for the former Old Public Works site.

Baleno Land Development: Council approved a change of zone and related preliminary approvals for a project generally located at the northeast corner of 70th Street and Cedardale Road. Patrick Sullivan, attorney for the developer, described phase one as an apartment project and noted an overall larger development with commercial parcels planned to the west. The council approved resolution R25‑0062 (preliminary plat) by voice vote (recorded as 8 ayes, 0 nays) and resolution R25‑0063 (comprehensive plan) also 8–0.

Highway 370 amendment: The council approved R25‑0068, a first amendment to the Highway 370 mixed‑use development agreement to add auto services (see separate article for debate). That amendment passed 6–2.

Old Public Works site and related zoning: The council approved ordinance 2,050 to change zone designations to Central Business District for Lots 3–8, Block 15, and approved ordinance 2,051 to vacate an alley right‑of‑way; both measures were recorded as passing in the meeting (vote tallies recorded as 8–0 where given). The council also approved final plat resolution R25‑073 for the same Old Public Works property (8 ayes, 0 nays).

Votes at a glance:
- Resolution R25‑0062 (preliminary plat for Baleno Land Development / South Ridge Village) — motion by Councilman Glover; second by Councilman Fanslow; vote: 8 ayes, 0 nays; outcome: approved.
- Resolution R25‑0063 (comprehensive plan amendment for the same property) — motion by Councilman Gaines; second by Councilman Stubbe; vote: 8 yes, 0 no; outcome: approved.

- Ordinance 2,051 (vacation of alley right‑of‑way within Block 15) — motion by Councilman Sunday; second by Councilman Gaines; outcome: approved (motion passes; vote recorded as unanimous where specified).
- Resolution R25‑073 (final plat for Lots 3–8, Block 15 / Old Public Works) — motion by Councilman Klug; second by Councilman Fanslow; vote: 8 ayes, 0 nays; outcome: approved.

Context and next steps: Approval of plats, rezone and comprehensive‑plan changes permit developers to proceed with subsequent engineering, platting and permitting steps. Several council members asked planning staff during the meeting to confirm buffering, traffic studies and design standards would be applied during plan review. No additional city budget appropriations were recorded for these items at the meeting.","Papillion City Council on April 1 approved a set of land‑use actions that advance the Baleno Land Development (South Ridge Village), amendments to the Highway 370 mixed‑use agreement and zoning and final‑plat actions for the Old Public Works site.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6091766,"City announces $1.125 million state grant for Papio Bay renovation",86,43000,129000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2858399-f01944cec1130ad5e253ab808bdb3be5&start=43&end=129","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2858399-f01944cec1130ad5e253ab808bdb3be5/thumbnail_43000.jpg","/articles/6091766/Nebraska/City-announces-1125-million-state-grant-for-Papio-Bay-renovation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6091766-26c0c196d469d3c4147b48e924bfd20a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770824292&Signature=g9PvXIPTmuJxhmDEYBnvOD7AyCZXLDZDEONzWV0NWVVUZIUyYyJszmaoGZsWIOgztctjBTkeuXn1aQ3fEVhrxGSegbwokerFwd0toqNIMMVBWzhSVcLnPv7BupYr1~UvtA0I3GS1Jf6bZZo0JcVovI1xbAsuMSCz9YKUjdiFyZ4TbqBQMjy8hIBfu3fTqEjd-B2rOBifxpyNruwynSP7OHeeAOJz2XUky5XMkwuObnn8iAoqJ5kf2ZGrdgfnKIR1sluSHZ4vtGC8YFjwVIKLHYCIkO7C31TKI44s24fqgGE2fyHQusPC4ZKDRzGVVPq-hOpsdKM1RFILWkNSksOH8A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Papillion city staff told the City Council on April 1 that the city has been selected to receive $1,125,000 from the Civic and Community Center Financing Fund to support renovations at Papio Bay.

City staff said the grant will help close a financing gap the city is facing after losing a local source of sales tax revenue. The administrator acknowledged Tracy Grama and Robin Lance for submitting the grant application and described the award as competitive; staff noted the city’s previous receipt of a similar grant in 2018 for $750,000 for another community center project.

No council vote was required at Tuesday’s meeting for acceptance; staff presented the award as an informational item during the administrator’s report and indicated further reporting and project steps will follow as the city incorporates the funds into renovation planning.","City staff reported Papillion was selected to receive a $1,125,000 Civic and Community Center Financing Fund grant from the Nebraska Department of Economic Development to help fund renovation of Papio Bay.","actionData","errors"]
