Summary
On Aug. 6, 2025, the Lincoln-Lancaster County Planning Commission approved a consent agenda that included a change of zone for property at 5959 Tombstone Ridge Drive and a three-year renewal of a soil-excavation special permit at N. 112th Street and Havelock Avenue. Minutes of the July 23 meeting were also approved and the meeting was adjourned.
The Lincoln-Lancaster County Planning Commission approved its consent agenda at a regular meeting Aug. 6, 2025, adopting a recommended zoning change for property at 5959 Tombstone Ridge Drive and renewing a soil-excavation special permit for three years for property at North 112th Street and Havelock Avenue.
The consent agenda included Item 1.1, Change of Zone 25016, to rezone approximately 1.2 acres from R-3 (residential) to H-3 (heavy commercial) at 5959 Tombstone Ridge Drive, and Item 1.2, Special Permit 19032B, a three-year renewal of an existing soil-excavation permit at North 112th Street and Havelock Avenue. The meeting record states that the planning commission action on Item 1.2 is final; other items on the consent agenda were recorded as recommendations to the city council or county board as required.
Commissioners approved the consent agenda by voice/roll call and recorded a 7-0 vote in favor. The meeting also approved the minutes of the July 23, 2025, regular meeting and then adjourned.
Staff member Shelly read the consent agenda into the record and asked whether there were any ex parte contacts to disclose; none were reported. A resident, Mike Serkuk, asked whether he needed to sign in when the items were read; he did not ask that an item be removed from the consent agenda for separate hearing. The chair then moved to approve the consent agenda; a commissioner seconded, and the commission voted 7-0 to approve.
The transcript records the commission's standard appeal information: for Item 1.2 (the soil-excavation permit listed as final action), an aggrieved person may appeal the planning commission's final action to the city council or county board by filing a notice of appeal with the clerk within 14 days of the commission's action. The Open Meetings Act was noted as posted inside the hearing room.
