Aldermen approve AutoZone site plan for 780 Watson Drive
Summary
The board unanimously approved a site plan for a 7,381‑square‑foot AutoZone at 780 Watson Drive after Planning & Zoning recommended the plan with landscaping conditions; aldermen emphasized landscaping meeting the city's point system.
The Kearney Board of Aldermen unanimously approved an ordinance (Bill 59‑2025) Dec. 15 authorizing a site plan submitted by AutoZone for a 7,381‑square‑foot store at 780 Watson Drive, adjacent to recently approved commercial developments.
Community Development Director David Pavlich outlined the proposal, saying staff and Planning & Zoning recommended approval; the planning commission’s discussion focused on the landscape plan, and one commissioner requested additional evergreen plantings to ensure year‑round screening. Alderman Lehman noted the landscape plan meets Kearney’s point system.
The board read the ordinance title on first and second readings before approving the measure by voice vote. Staff said the site will be sited near an existing Club Car Wash and the previously approved Les Schwab Tire Center, representing continued commercial activity along that corridor.
The site plan approval includes the conditions recommended by Planning & Zoning on plantings and other technical matters; staff will follow up on final engineering and permit requirements.
