Developer seeks rezoning for corner convenience store in Granite Creek East; council held public hearing
Summary
BHI Development and applicant Gerald Torzin asked the council to rezone two lots from LC (Limited Commercial) to CC (Community Commercial) at 100th and Second Street to enable a convenience store; the public hearing was opened and closed with no opponents on record at the meeting.
The Papillion City Council held a public hearing Jan. 21, 2025, on Ordinance 2043, a proposed rezoning of two lots in the Granite Creek East development from LC (Limited Commercial) to CC (Community Commercial) to allow future special-use permitting for convenience-food sales.
Randy Kushok of Lampra Nearson spoke for the applicant Gerald Torzin and BHI Development Inc., describing the request as a developer-led rezoning to "tee up" a future convenience-store user. Kushok said the lots are on the east side of 100th and Second Street near Highway 370 and that the developer intends shared access with adjoining commercial development; no direct access to 100th and Second Street is planned.
Kushok said the proposed CC zoning would permit convenience food sales via special-use permit, which would return to the planning board and council for review if a specific operator is identified. He said the developer prefers to put the zoning in place before a specific user is lined up so potential buyers and neighborhood residents are informed in advance.
No proponents or opponents spoke beyond the applicant's representative; the council closed the public hearing. The transcript does not record a final vote on Ordinance 2043 during the Jan. 21 meeting, indicating the matter was heard but not decided in that session.
Ending: The rezoning request proceeds through the review process; a future special-use permit for a convenience store would require additional reviews and hearings if a user applies.
