Bellevue Council approves liquor license for Jennifer Miller and AutoZone site plan

The Bellevue City Council convened on April 15, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including liquor license approvals, zoning amendments, and public hearings on new developments.

The meeting commenced with no organizational matters or citizen communications reported. The council proceeded to discuss liquor licenses, specifically an amendment application for Jennifer Miller as manager of Come and Go LLC, located at 13905 Williamsburg Drive. After a brief public hearing with no comments from attendees, the council unanimously approved the recommendation to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission.

Next, the council moved to ordinances for adoption, beginning with Ordinance Number 4181, which sought to rezone specific lots in Kennedy Town Center for the establishment of an automobile dealership by Axxis LLC. Following a reading of the ordinance, the council voted in favor of the motion, which passed without opposition.

The council then addressed a small subdivision plat related to the same area, which was also approved after a motion and second from council members.

In the second reading of ordinances, the council reviewed Ordinance Number 4182, which proposed the detachment of certain tax lots from the city. After opening the public hearing and receiving no comments, the council scheduled a third reading for May 6, 2025.

Ordinance Number 4183 was introduced next, amending the Bellevue Municipal Code to adjust the Ward 1 boundary due to the de-annexation of Offutt Air Force Base property. This ordinance also proceeded to a public hearing, which concluded without public input, and a third reading was set for the same date.

The council introduced Ordinance Number 4184, which aimed to vacate specific alley rights of way. This ordinance will also be reviewed in the upcoming meeting.

Finally, the council held a public hearing regarding a site plan approval for an AutoZone auto parts store at the southeast corner of West Chandler Road and South 20 Second Street. Diane, the president of the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce, expressed her support for the new business, highlighting its potential economic benefits for the area. Following her remarks, the council approved the site plan.

The meeting concluded with a clear agenda for future discussions, including further readings of the ordinances and continued support for local business development.
