Bellevue Council reviews AutoZone site plan for Kennedy Town Center development

Bellevue City Council is moving forward with significant developments in the community, as discussed during their meeting on April 1, 2025. Among the key actions was the introduction of two ordinances aimed at adjusting city boundaries and facilitating new commercial projects.

The council approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 4182, which proposes the detachment of specific tax lots located near the railroad right-of-way in Sarpy County. This ordinance is set to undergo a public hearing on April 15, 2025, at 6 PM in the council chambers, where residents will have the opportunity to voice their opinions.

In a related move, Ordinance No. 4183 was introduced to amend the Bellevue Municipal Code, specifically adjusting the Ward 1 boundary to reflect the de-annexation of Offutt Air Force Base property. This ordinance will also be subject to a public hearing on the same date, allowing for community input on the proposed changes.

Additionally, the council discussed a request for site plan approval for an AutoZone auto parts store at the Kennedy Town Center. The proposed store, measuring approximately 7,000 square feet, will be connected to existing public utilities and will manage stormwater on-site. The council has recommended tabling the vote on this project until the April 15 meeting, ensuring thorough consideration of the development.

These discussions highlight Bellevue's ongoing efforts to adapt its infrastructure and commercial landscape, with upcoming public hearings providing a platform for community engagement and feedback. As these initiatives progress, residents can look forward to potential enhancements in local services and economic opportunities.
