It will be built north of the 3rd Street intersection with 11th Avenue.It could have been a more difficult decision if the acreage was located within those boundaries, because there would be a sacrifice in Good Life taxes collected and returned to the city.It is outside, so this particular structure will not have an impact on those future dollars down the road. Because of the number of apartments being built, developers needed to request a re-zoning of the land, and get approval from the city council.It was unanimously approved for being re-zoned."Our city council tries to work really hard with private property owners and let then do the project that best fits for that area," said City Manager Brenda Jensen. "So anytime that we can support additional housing being developed in our community is good for Kearney."Another item on the docket included a recent purchase made by the city.Around three acres was sold by the state to Kearney north of Talmadge St, between restaurants and hotels. It currently serves as a use for the Department of Transportation and the Nebraska State Patrol, and has done so for decades.It was also approved by all five council members to be re-zoned for commercial use. The city will likely sell it to an investor or developer."(It's) just a little over a three-acre lot, so I think you're just going to see one buyer look at developing it with an overall development plan for the area," Jensen said. "There's a lot of differnet potential, but we envision it commercial for that area, because that's going to be the highest and best use for it's location and visibility."The general manager of Texas T-Bone spoke for during another public hearing, as the restaurant is asking for a liquor license.The city approved their request and now it will return to the state on Thursday.It should take 10 business days before they're able to sell alcohol at the steakhouse.</div></body>
