Commission recommends large‑lot industrial replat for RNR Commerce Park South 2

The Papillion Planning Commission on April 29 recommended approval of multiple actions related to RNR Commerce Park South 2, including the revised preliminary plat (PP‑26‑00004R), a change of zone (CZ‑26‑00003) and the final plat (FP‑26‑00005). All related motions were passed by a 6–0 vote.

Patrick Sullivan, attorney for the applicant, described a shift from very small lots to three larger light‑industrial lots and said the project will contribute to 156th Street improvements (the county now leads that effort). The application also addressed a drainage/wetland area on the east side of the site; staff and the applicant discussed compliance with a recently adopted local standard referred to in the record as '3:1 + 50' (a sloped setback requirement) and noted that grading on site is already complete in many areas. The applicant committed to work with staff to resolve pinch points and obtain any needed grading permits prior to final council action.

Commissioners asked for clarification on which lots are included in each phase, how wetlands and drainage will be handled, and whether an existing homeowner on the property will remain; the applicant said the owner will remain until the next phase and that the waterway in question is located in an outlot. The commission’s recommendations were all conditioned on resolving the items listed in the staff report before council.

The commission also recommended approval of the related change of zone and final plat by unanimous votes. These recommendations will be forwarded to Papillion City Council for final action.
