Commission approves rezoning and small-plat for commercial development; Kwik Trip representatives present, neighbor opposed by email
Summary
The commission approved rezoning and a small-subdivision plat (Mister T's Addition Replat 2) to allow commercial development near South 30th Street and Cornhusker Road. Quik Trip representatives attended; Tree Shrubs and More owner submitted opposition by email.
The Bellevue Planning Commission voted April 24 to approve a rezoning and small-subdivision plat (case Z-2503-04 / SD-2503-07) to facilitate commercial development at South 30th Street and Cornhusker Road. The approval included a waiver of subdivision regulations for depth-to-width ratio and was supported by staff as conforming to local rules.
Tammy of the Planning Department summarized that the rezoning is needed to adjust a property line with an adjacent storage facility: "the rezoning is simply because, this property is adjusting a property line to the south with the neighbor, which is the self-storage lots." Staff said the request “conforms with our regulations” and noted an opposition email from Robert Kramer, the owner of Tree Shrubs and More, who objected to potential access across his property. Tammy clarified that the current action is a rezoning and plat—not a site plan or access approval—and that access arrangements would be handled later during permitting.
Tara Limbach, real estate project manager with Kwik Trip, told the commission she was present to answer questions and asked for support. Staff explained access limitations: full access to the site will be from South 30th Street because Cornhusker Road has a median; there may be a restricted right-in/right-out on Cornhusker. Tammy said an existing cross-access easement exists and the plat is intended to secure needed access without harming the adjacent property owner.
Commissioner Yoder moved for approval and stated the recommendation was "based upon conformance with the zoning ordinance, subdivision regulations, comprehensive plan, and lack of perceived negative impact upon the surrounding area." The motion was seconded and the chair announced unanimous approval. The approved items will go to the City Council for public hearing on May 20, 2025.
Recorded public opposition was limited to an email from Robert Kramer; no one testified in person against the application.
