PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE

AMENDMENT TO THE

DOWNTOWN NORTHEAST

REDEVELOPMENT PLAN

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Omaha, Nebraska, will meet and hold a public hearing on February 15, 2022, beginning at 2:00 PM in Legislative Chambers, 1819 Farnam Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68183 for the purpose of hearing testimony for:

Project: The Amendment to the Downtown Northeast Redevelopment Plan

Applicant: City of Omaha

Location: 1804 Capitol Avenue

This amendment to the Downtown Northeast Redevelopment Plan proposes the redevelopment of the area generally known as 1804 Capitol Avenue, including property bounded by 19th Street on the west, Chicago Street on the north, 17th Street on the east, and Capitol Avenue on the south. The Downtown Northeast Redevelopment Plan and 2030 Downtown Master Plan both envision a “newer”, revitalized, pedestrian-friendly, city destination. The greater downtown area would be a place where major employers would locate thereby strengthening downtown as a major employment center, commercial business would provide goods and services for dining, entertainment and leisure, and residents would find homes that are not far from work, fun or leisure activities.

The Planning Board recommended approval of this Redevelopment Project Plan at the October 27, 2021 public hearing.

The proposed redevelopment project affords an opportunity to provide mixed-income housing within the Urban Core. This area is a 9-acre site that will be subdivided into three separate parcels. The City proposes the sale of 7 of the 9 acres to the developer who proposes to construct market rate apartments, affordable housing units, retail/office spaces, townhouses and parking. The remaining 2 acres would be reserved for a potential commercial office or civic user to be determined by the City.

A copy of said plan is available for public inspection in the City Clerk’s Office.

Anyone interested in this matter should be in attendance. 

Elizabeth Butler, MMC

City Clerk, City of Omaha

ALL REQUESTS FOR SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETERS (SIGNERS) WILL REQUIRE A MINIMUM OF 48 HOURS ADVANCE NOTICE. IF ALTERNATIVE FORMATS ARE NEEDED, REQUESTS WILL REQUIRE A MINIMUM OF 72 HOURS ADVANCE NOTICE. PLEASE NOTIFY KIMBERLY HOESING AT (402) 444-5552 IF ARRANGEMENTS NEED TO BE MADE.
