A resident described the RV and newly created driveway as \"blocking our light and our view\" and asked the commission to clarify language that currently allows parking in side yards abutting a driveway. Planning staff explained the code allows curb cuts up to 40 feet wide and that, depending on lot configuration, an owner can create a second driveway. Staff said they will propose clearer language and potential offsets or minimum clearances so an RV cannot be parked immediately adjacent to a neighbor’s windows and block light.

Separately, the commission agreed to consider whether adult‑oriented businesses—currently permitted by right in industrial districts and conditional in some commercial districts—should instead be treated consistently as conditional uses. Planning staff will prepare proposals and likely place the matter on a future agenda and public hearing.

Commissioners said proposed changes would be drafted and returned to the commission as either discussion items or public hearings for more formal action. The topics will be scheduled for upcoming meetings so the commission and the public can review draft language.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","North Platte Planning Commission Meeting May 27th, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioners agreed to revisit regulations on off‑street RV parking after a neighbor complaint and supported reviewing whether adult‑oriented businesses should be treated as conditional uses in commercial and industrial districts; staff will prepare language for future meetings.","taxTitle","North Platte, Lincoln County, Nebraska","taxId",61814,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6531520,"Commission recommends rezoning four Elm Street lots for Enzo Athletic Performance after contested public hearing",3362,2765000,6127000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3527714-3ec55b1660e3137b4c722f7559dc19ff&start=2765&end=6127","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3527714-3ec55b1660e3137b4c722f7559dc19ff/thumbnail_2765000.jpg","/articles/6531520/North-Platte/Lincoln-County/Nebraska/Commission-recommends-rezoning-four-Elm-Street-lots-for-Enzo-Athletic-Performance-after-contested-public-hearing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6531520-32f626a2dddd540da76a5a46296110c6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771179059&Signature=PU1dUO9Pd9F5pqJFtXGLt0KRIZb0Zm1nxaLnl5fdjtki7lt5JEms5Y~PF3eHOumQp411EVXaZu395iNIbhpjQg4bbS6oYD~L8XYcZIaHDRXF0-00cXk5sAmCNjfv23AtTfTMGl9SkakudIzdNJkcM8c6ksUTO9JD~xxf4tp0MeAYgKEt76grqhimXtLcG50lxVp8qmleHga-vBnJin81PyXeyx6bf0QpWl5KOYTxqSmWNOdwyZ9RXt61Vm0NDYIa7YgXyfr0Smib3ntJ33ZIGrisanylPPF2OJETWzCS97T5AD5uhQMLjFG5nWhPVIAB6pNnbj3veEoe-Mi7kwPgJA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Platte City Planning Commission on May 27 recommended approval of a future land use map amendment (AM25‑00004) and a rezoning (Z25‑006) for four vacant lots at 801–807 South Elm Street so the property owners, Jason and Kayla Jensen, can build a proposed 6,000–7,000 square‑foot wellness and fitness center under the Enzo Athletic Performance name.

Jason and Kayla Jensen told the commission they have run Enzo for 11 years and described the proposed facility as a family‑oriented gym with youth programs, on‑site child services and structured class schedules. \"Our goal is to build a state of the art space focused on wellness, youth development, and family fitness,\" Jason Jensen said. He said the applicants paid about $50,000 per lot and plan more than adequate on‑site parking; class capacity is typically 25 with average attendance of 18–20 in peak sessions.

The proposal drew a large turnout of nearby residents concerned about traffic, parking, noise, precedent and the possibility that other H‑1 allowed uses could occupy the site in the future. Opponents cited safety concerns for neighborhood children and argued the lots were purchased and used historically as residential. Tom Warbleau, a resident at 816 South Elm, urged caution: \"It could be a heliport. It could be a restaurant. It could be a cremation facility,\" he said, pointing to the range of H‑1 permitted uses listed in staff materials.

The applicants said a 70‑signature petition against rezoning circulated in the community contained only 11 signatures from residents within the city’s 300‑foot notification radius; they also provided copies of covenants and said Charles Kucera (the prior owner) waived covenants in 1989. Planning staff clarified that covenants and deed restrictions are private agreements enforceable by private parties, not by the city; zoning decisions remain a public matter enforced by the city.

Planning staff had no objection to the proposed amendment or rezoning if the amendment to the future land use map is approved. Commissioners discussed the area pattern—H‑1 zoning already exists on nearby parcels and the property sits adjacent to commercial/medical uses and parking lots—and the potential that rezoning would allow other H‑1 uses in the future.

Commissioner Matthews moved and Commissioner Van Velsen seconded a motion to recommend approval of the future land use map amendment; the commission voted 4‑to‑1 in favor. On the rezoning motion (file Z25‑006), Commissioner Matthews moved and Commissioner Bain seconded; the motion carried with the commission recording the vote as approved 4‑to‑1, with Commissioners Jett and Davies listed as recused/abstaining from the matter. Both items will go to City Council for final consideration and public hearing on June 3, 2025.

Planning staff and commissioners noted the distinction between a conditional use permit and rezoning: a conditional use permit could have been tailored to a single project, whereas rezoning opens the parcel to all uses allowed in the H‑1 district. Several residents requested the city consider alternatives or stronger conditions to limit future uses if council approves rezoning; staff reiterated that covenants are a private enforcement mechanism and cannot be enforced by the city planning department.","After a lengthy and contested public hearing, the Planning Commission recommended amending the future land use map and rezoning 801–807 South Elm Street from R‑1 to H‑1 to allow a proposed 6–7,000 sq ft Enzo Athletic Performance gym; the items will go to City Council June 3.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6531525,"Planning Commission backs conditional use permit for CNPPID sand processing site southeast of North Platte",911,1810000,2721000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3527714-3ec55b1660e3137b4c722f7559dc19ff&start=1810&end=2721","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3527714-3ec55b1660e3137b4c722f7559dc19ff/thumbnail_1810000.jpg","/articles/6531525/North-Platte/Lincoln-County/Nebraska/Planning-Commission-backs-conditional-use-permit-for-CNPPID-sand-processing-site-southeast-of-North-Platte","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6531525-e8cdc92468ebeb87ace4b8c244ffa25a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771179059&Signature=FRV1K2KVwwLpC~6tJEGTpErk9kLiA8NQhxdhFXyzE5XASLo7VgaZbcxWQuNX0Cjvv0UIT5Fw~VNCJJbk6m3EijJU2dveZjwQQzQU9qswAeoxQQrr07gEjplV1X0SNuVB9aUdAQinMJiEh9DwOFaKobP9Z5ttXEv9VuPYKKJ3ZZ3LtZSJkZMD6gcjcGCfuWiaUzo~4rTShMvAFMlZ2Kmaxy5MqQkW7SUthLHGukI0Qi2s-J9azEsdi1TUseJGfZ5E-QiUZ-ovR6VTeP-n5Dzb67N9VQCArzotV~sX00PsaJxUQwf-0Z6j5PqJx9gidIeHztKaRdEWLrmE3dgyOMbn0g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Platte City Planning Commission on May 27 recommended approval of file CU25‑001, a conditional use permit requested by the Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District (CNPPID) to allow continued dredging operations and new commercial sand processing on CNPPID property southeast of the city in an F‑1 floodway district.

Judy, planning staff, described the proposal as allowing CNPPID to process and prepare sediment sand that is dredged from the river and currently piled on site. \"The new proposed traffic will be approximately 20 to 30 truckloads per day,\" Judy said, and staff noted CNPPID plans to place crushed asphalt surfacing on the road used to transport sand to reduce noise and dust. Planning staff had no objection to the conditional use application.

Devin Brundage, representing CNPPID, told the commission the site has been used for dredging since the 1940s and that the proposal would not create a new pit. \"We have been doing this since 1940 in the same place, same pit, and we'll do it for the next hundred years,\" Brundage said. He said the operation currently piles dredged sand in the same location and that the main change would be adding a building (a warehouse anticipated in 2026 or 2027) to process and remove sand more efficiently.

Gary Pearson, president of the North Platte Area Chamber Development Corporation, said the private partner that has signed an agreement with CNPPID—identified by the applicants as the GRIT Group—would be the first tenant at the Industrial Rail Park and would market the processed sand to customers in the broader region.

Neighbors asked questions about which roads trucks would use; planning staff and the applicant said traffic would use the Canal Road to State Farm Road and not residential streets. Some audience members raised wildlife mitigation questions; planning staff said CNPPID has worked on mitigation in the past and would follow applicable requirements.

Commissioner Davies moved and Commissioner Matthews seconded a motion finding the request meets applicable standards in the North Platte Code of Ordinances and granting the conditional use permit with the condition that elements of the application be complied with. The commission’s positive recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for final action June 3, 2025.

Details the commission recorded: current on‑site traffic varies from 2 to more than 20 vehicles per day depending on operations; CNPPID anticipates processing will increase truck traffic to about 20–30 truckloads per day; applicants anticipate adding dust controls and a future processing warehouse. The council will hold a public hearing on the permit on June 3.","The commission recommended approval of a conditional use permit allowing dredging operations and commercial sand processing on Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District property; commissioners were told the operation has been active since 1940 and would generate about 20–30 truckloads per day when commercialized.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6531529,"Planning Commission recommends approval of Swanson second replat in extraterritorial area",141,1627000,1768000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3527714-3ec55b1660e3137b4c722f7559dc19ff&start=1627&end=1768","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3527714-3ec55b1660e3137b4c722f7559dc19ff/thumbnail_1627000.jpg","/articles/6531529/North-Platte/Lincoln-County/Nebraska/Planning-Commission-recommends-approval-of-Swanson-second-replat-in-extraterritorial-area","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6531529-75956bde499a7a736730d62300fe4e58/orig.mp4?Expires=1771179059&Signature=RiRdHUfMzFtm9CWA3xIlhoayklcUugsii0M-J2xuQr9BGruoTRhGGm13NHlrTocUo4bHaS-gTGToelDnUVP-7-iWZiJM4TZZUJxZ7lf-RftJyhqeP2pUgf0QR1LyKBP07IXxwXBFtXkucVk~ozTE~qdhI0Nrvm145B0oNHP00yeDt9cV3I9x0a5GtCCkivEJKIVm20VVByRs8-osz9rzteFFFDGNZkNUvT0YHEhCmfo6PVyxMd6OCVt1zWol0-H0AJ9q2mmBFL5mjO4RNeahxC-BpcQXS5XZOAV64VBecJyyYBt1fDeFbxzu9khrPWsbZ0bWGDJ5~U-UWbolF1NbmA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Platte City Planning Commission on May 27 recommended approval of file SU25‑008, a preliminary and final replat that divides Lot 9 of Swanson’s Addition into two parcels at 2821 Hoover Road in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction.

Planning staff told commissioners that sewer service is available for the lots but water would require a private well and there is no CenturyLink service to the new lot; staff said the property owner must understand that a new residence on the created lot would require infrastructure improvements. Planning staff did not object to the plat. \"Planning staff has no objection to the proposed subdivision,\" staff member Judy said during the meeting.

Commissioner Jett moved to recommend approval; Commissioner Davies seconded the motion. The commission approved the recommendation and directed staff to take the item to the City Council agenda for its June 3 meeting, where a public hearing will be held and the council will make the final decision.

The commission’s recommendation does not change utility requirements: any future separate residence will still need off‑site or on‑site water and utility improvements per city standards, planning staff said. The applicant was not present at the meeting.

The item will appear on the City Council agenda June 3, 2025, for final action.","The North Platte Planning Commission voted to recommend preliminary and final approval of a two‑lot replat (SU25‑008) on property at 2821 Hoover Road in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, forwarding the item to City Council June 3.","actionData","errors"]
