Papillion council approves Hubbell Realty zoning, final plat and event fireworks license

The Papillion City Council on Nov. 18, 2025 approved several land-use and event-permit items, including a zoning change for a Hubbell Realty tract at the southwest corner of South 156th Street and Schramm Road and the corresponding final plat.

Council considered Ordinance 2069, a change of zone from agricultural to limited industrial for property legally described as a tract in the northeast quarter of Section 3, Township 13 North, Range 11 East of the 6th Principal Meridian, Sarpy County. The applicant was Hubbell Realty. A motion to approve was made (motion by Stuby; second by Fanswell), and the council voted to approve the ordinance (7 yeas, 0 nays).

The council then approved Resolution R25-214 to accept the final plat for the same tract, with a recorded vote of 7–0. Council also approved Resolution R25-0215, the second amendment to the Sarpy West Industrial Subdivision Agreement; the motion to approve (moved by Councilman Gaines, seconded by Councilman Fanslow) carried with a unanimous tally.

On a separate item, the council approved Resolution R25-218, authorizing Papillion-La Vista Spirit Football to sell permissible fireworks at retail for the 2025 winter fireworks season (dates discussed as Dec. 29 to Jan. 1). Councilmembers asked where the vendor stand would be located; staff answered that it would be an enclosed trailer near Jersey's on the Bolino property. The motion to grant the license passed unanimously.

All votes on these items were recorded as unanimous in the meeting transcript. No speakers from the public spoke for or against these items during the public hearing on the ordinance and associated plat.

These approvals advance the Hubbell Realty project through local land-use steps and authorize a short-term vendor license for a local youth football organization's fundraiser.
