Council approves suite of rezoning, plat and TIF measures, plus liquor licenses
Summary
The Omaha City Council approved numerous agenda items including liquor licenses for two businesses, multiple rezoning and plat approvals, and TIF support for two housing projects (7630 Pacific Apartments and 1053 Park Avenue senior apartments); most recorded votes were unanimous.
The Omaha City Council approved a broad consent and regular agenda that included liquor licenses, rezoning and subdivision approvals, and tax-increment financing (TIF) for two housing projects.
Among the items approved by recorded roll call votes (where tallies are noted):
- Item 7: Class I liquor license for Forest Game Time Pub and Grill (motion passed 7-0). - Item 8: Class EK liquor license for Epoca Cantina (motion passed 7-0). - Items 9'11: Preliminary and final plats and a subdivision agreement for a 58-lot RV park (motion passed 7-0). - Items 12'14: Rezoning and final plat for a State and Highway 133 addition (motion passed 7-0). - Items 15'20: Lake Street grocery package (rezoning/plat approvals) (motion passed 7-0). - Items 25'28 and other rezones/overlay adjustments: multiple property rezonings and overlay amendments were approved (motions passed 7-0 where recorded). - Item 29: 7630 Pacific Apartments TIF plan approval, up to $1,513,578 in TIF support (motion passed 7-0). - Item 30: 1053 Park Avenue senior apartments TIF plan approval, up to $660,785 in TIF support (motion passed 7-0). - Item 43: Purchase order and facilities waiver with OPPD for 48 Acorn streetlight poles (motion recorded as passed 6-0 with Begley abstaining).
Several items were considered on consent and approved together; where the transcript recorded roll calls the votes were unanimous or near-unanimous as noted above. Items classified as non-action were held for future public hearings. The council adjourned at 3:45 p.m.
Why it matters: The approvals clear multiple private development projects and city infrastructure upgrades to proceed through permitting or implementation, and the TIF decisions commit modest city-supported financing for housing projects.
