Commissioners approve rezoning and special‑use permit for the 20 Club property
Summary
Sarpy County commissioners rezoned roughly 67.44 acres known as the 20 Club from split industrial/residential zoning to agricultural and granted a special‑use permit to preserve and allow commercial recreation and rebuilding of cabins; staff noted floodplain considerations for a southern parcel.
Sarpy County commissioners voted to rezone and grant a special‑use permit for property commonly called the 20 Club to reconcile split zoning, allow existing cabins to remain, and permit the owner to rebuild a cabin damaged in the 2019 flood. Planning Director Robert Laroko told the commission the request would move the parcel from RS72 single‑family and light industrial districts to AG agricultural district and would include a special‑use permit to allow a commercial recreation area on approximately 67.44 acres.
Laroko said the parcel actually comprises two parcels, one portion east of Highway 75 and a southern parcel that sits in the floodway and is not intended for development; staff recommended approval with conditions and strongly recommended (but cannot require) that any rebuilt structures comply with floodplain development best practices such as elevation because draft flood maps may place parts of the site within the flood fringe.
With no members of the public offering testimony at the hearing, the chair closed the public hearing and Commissioner Burmeister moved to approve Resolution 134 (rezoning); the motion passed. Commissioners subsequently approved Resolution 133 to issue the special‑use permit for commercial recreation on the property.
Staff said approval would legalize the existing landscape business on the site as a legal nonconforming use (preventing expansion or change of operation without additional approvals), eliminate the undesirable split zoning, and align the property with the county’s future land‑use plan. The commission recorded both approvals and moved on to other agenda items.
