And members of the City Council
The attached Resolution approves the 30th and Fort Street Redevelopment Plan. The
approximately 129 acre site is bounded by the Storz Expressway/North Freeway on the south,
Ellison Avenue on the north, Florence Boulevard on the east and 30th Street on the west.
The 30th and Fort Streets Redevelopment Plan proposes the acquisition of vacant property and
demolition of vacant, deteriorated housing followed by the construction of affordable single-
family housing on as many as thirty sites. The City will acquire property and prepare them for
housing constructions by a yet to be determined developer. The Plan authorizes the use of the
eminent domain process as may be required to assist in the assemblage of land in the
redevelopment area. Complementing the new housing construction, the City will use owner- and
renter-occupied rehabilitation programs to improve the existing housing in close proximity to the
new housing units.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds will be used to acquire property, demolish
houses and prepare lots for the housing construction. HOME Investment Partnerships and
Nebraska Affordable Housing Trust Funds will be used for construction. In addition, private
funding in the form of first mortgages for homebuyers will help pay for this redevelopment
effort.
The Omaha City Planning Board approved the 30th and Fort Street Redevelopment Plan at the
March 4, 2015 meeting.

30TH AND FORT STREETS REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
INTRODUCTION
The 30th and Fort Streets Redevelopment Plan(30FRP) area is in northeast Omaha in a location
bounded by the Storz Expressway/North Freeway on the south, Ellison Avenue on the north,
Florence Boulevard on the east and 30th Street on the west. (See Map 1) The redevelopment area
is in an older portion of the city. Almost half of the 129 acre site, the area south of Fort Street, is
within a portion of the city that was declared a Community Redevelopment Area(then known as
Blighted and Substandard) by the Omaha City Council on June 2, 1992. A Community
Redevelopment Area designation is also planned for a portion of the redevelopment area north of
Fort Street.
The 2007 closing and deterioration of the Mr. C's restaurant at the northeast corner of 30th and
Fort Streets may have exacerbated a physical decline which was already underway within the
redevelopment area. Current signs of decline are apparent in the physical condition of the
housing stock as well as in the presence of vacant lots in the neighborhood. Indicators of
economic well-being also suggest that current residents of the area are experiencing more
difficult economic circumstances than those of the recent past.
As detracting as the former Mr. C's site is, it presents an opportunity for dramatic improvement
to the area in the form of new development. (See Exhibit 1 Site Plan) The 30 Metropolitan Place
(30 MP) is a 110,000 square foot mixed use development which includes 110 one- and two-
bedroom apartments affordable to lower income households and 11,000 square feet of new
office/commercial space. The five-story structure, estimated to cost $16 million, will bring
activity, possibly retail, as well as the benefits a well-managed apartment complex generates.
The close proximity of the 30 MP development to the Metro Community College on the west
side of 30th Street improves the linkage of the school with the residential to its east.
In support of this development, the city will undertake a redevelopment effort in the
neighborhood around the 30 MP development east of 30th Street. Part of the effort will be to
acquire vacant property on which to construct new affordable housing. In some instances, the
acquisition of vacant houses will be undertaken so that they may be demolished and the vacant
lots used as sites for new affordable housing. Approximately ten single-family homes are
estimated to be constructed as part of the initial stage of the redevelopment effort which includes
the area west of 27th Street within the redevelopment area. Further development using a similar
approach will construct an additional approximately twenty units of affordable single-family
housing. This longer-term redevelopment effort, which will focus on the area east of 27th Street,
will proceed as funding becomes available.
Complementing the new housing construction, the city will provided housing rehabilitation
resources for rental and homeowner housing targeted to areas in which housing construction is
occurring.

The development of infill housing in the redevelopment area will necessitate the acquisition of
property. The 30FRP authorizes the use of eminent domain to acquire vacant lots and
deteriorated structures.
Existing Conditions
About Census Information
Information about population and housing is taken from the 2000 and 2010 Census/American
Community Survey (ACS). Some of the Census data is available at the block level permitting
high geographic specificity which closely matches the 30FRP area boundary. Unfortunately not
all information is available at the block level. Some data, related to income, employment and
housing is available only at the Census block group or tract level. Depending on the type of
information presented, the closest level of geography, either Census block, block group or tract
level data are used in the tables. The tables identify the year(s)from which the information
comes, the level of geography used along with the source (Census or ACS).
Demographics and Housing
Table 1 provides basic information about the people living in the 30FRP area using Census
information from 2000 and 2010 and, for reference, compares it to the same information for the
city as a whole. The 30FRP area experienced a decline in population from 2000 to 2010, while
the city, including annexations, experienced a small increase. Both areas grew more diverse
during the 2000s, with the 30FRP area remaining more racially diverse but less ethnically
diverse than the City (Basic ethnicity using Census information is determined by how a Census
respondent identifies him/herself as either Hispanic or non-Hispanic.) The largest racial group
within the redevelopment area; African American, was 64 percent of the population in 2010,
while the largest racial group in the city was the White population at 75 percent. With the
possible exception of people that identified themselves as "of some other race", which increased
to four percent in 2010 from 0.6 percent in 2000, no dramatic shift in the proportion of the
population was experienced by any racial group in either area from 2000 to 2010. The proportion
of White residents declined somewhat from 34 percent in 2000 to 30 percent in 2010 within the
30FRP area. The proportion of Hispanic population increased in both areas; from almost three
percent of the population in 2000 to almost eight percent in 2010 for the 30FRP area, compared
to the nearly eight percent in 2000 to thirteen in 2010 for the city.
At 29, the median age of the population in 30FRP was younger than that of the City at 34 years,
though over all very little change occurred in either area between 2000 and 2010 regarding age.

Data Sources: 2000 and 2010 Censuses using block data
In the late 2000s, Omaha, along with the rest of the nation, experienced what has been referred to
as the "Great Recession," an event triggered by, or at least related to the housing mortgage crisis.
One effect of the mortgage crisis, homeowners losing their homes, reduced the amount of owner-
occupied housing and added pressure to the rental housing market. While having fared better
than many other places so far, Census data suggests Omaha was not immune. The housing
vacancy rate in Omaha went from 5.4 percent in 2000 to 8.4 percent in 2010; an increase of
almost 6,000 vacant units in the city. A shift in tenure in Omaha from owner- to renter-occupied
housing continued from 2000 to 2010 with the proportion of owner-occupied units declining to
58.3% in 2010 from 59.6 percent in 2000. An effect of the housing mortgage crisis subsequent to
the increase in vacant housing is the eventual loss of some of those housing units altogether and
increasing pressure on rental housing; a process which is probably not yet complete in Omaha.
While several important economic indicators such as median housing value, per-capita income
and median household income, appear stable or improving not all indicators are encouraging.
The unemployment rate increased to nearly 5 percent in 2010 from 4.3 percent in 2000. Of
greater concern was the change in the percent of people in poverty increasing by three
percentage points from 2000 to 15.3 percent in 2010.
While the housing and economic indicators revealed a mix of changing conditions for Omaha
residents from 2000 to 2010, the changes were more dramatic and negative within the 30FRP
area. Within the redevelopment area the total number of housing units was down only slightly
from 2000 to 2010, while the number of occupied units decreased more, resulting in the doubling
of the housing vacancy rate. Losses of owner-occupied units explain much of the increase in
vacancy as the number of renter-occupied units remained steady during this period. A swing in
tenure of seven percentage points in the 30FRP area during the 2000s changed the balance from
more owner-occupied to more renter-occupied units. This more dramatic shift in tenure was also
probably influenced by the housing mortgage crisis
4 of 17
Other market related signs that the housing mortgage crisis was having an impact on the housing
within the30FRP area are also evident. Housing values increased in the city, no doubt bolstered
by record increases through the mid- 2000s, but in the 30FRP area values were stagnant. During
the same period, rental housing cost increases in the 30FRP area kept pace with those in the city
indicating a demand for affordable rental housing.
Measures of income and the economic well-being of residents also indicate substantial
differences between the city and 30FRP area. The median household income and per-capita
income are considerably greater in Omaha than those of the 30FRP in 2000 and 2010; they also
increased during that time in Omaha while remaining about the same in the 30FRP area. The rate
of unemployment, generally considered an economic strength in Omaha and Nebraska, increases
from 2000 to 2010 for the City, but still remains below five percent. In the 30FRP area it is more
than double the City rate in 2000 and almost doubles in the 30FRP area over the decade to more
than four times the city unemployment rate by 2010. Significant changes from 2000 to 2010 in
another important economic indicator,the rate of poverty, are apparent even at the city-wide
level which increased from 11.3 percent to 15.3 percent. Again,the 30FRP area experience is far
more dramatic with poverty at a much higher level than the city and a rate of increase which is
much faster from 2000 to 2010.

Land Use
Residential is the most prevalent land use in 30FRP area consisting of 73 acres and comprising
57 percent of the area. (See Map I) Commercial uses, limited to 30th and 24th Streets, make up a
very small portion of the area at 1.4 acres. Civic uses, also limited in the area, include several
churches and an MUD facility at 27th and Saratoga Street and occupy just 1.8 acres and 1.4
percent of the area. Vacant land is found scattered throughout the redevelopment area. Small
clusters of vacant lots, primarily former single-family housing sites, are somewhat more
prevalent south of Fort Street, but very few streets in the redevelopment area do not have at least
one vacant lot. Right-of-Way makes up 32 percent of the 30FRP area.
Table 4
Land Use
Land Use Acres Percent
SF-Residential 72.8 56.6%
Commercial 1.4 1.1%
Civic 1.8 1.4%
Vacant 11.9 9.2%
Right-of-Way 40.8 31.7%
Total 128.7 100.0%
In addition to the land uses within the 30FRP area proper, it is adjacent to uses which are not
only important to the city and the region but impact the redevelopment area. To the immediate
west of the redevelopment area along 30th Street is Metro Community College (MCC), Fort
Omaha Campus. This 73 acre site is the administrative headquarters of MCC and the second
highest student attendance facility for the college which has an enrollment of nearly 37,000
students.
The termination of the North Freeway at the east/west extension of the Storz
Expressway/Sorensen Parkway constitutes the southern boundary of the redevelopment area.
While these major roadways provide important transportation access to and from the
redevelopment and surrounding area to the city and the region, they also block access to and
from neighborhoods to the immediate south. This separation is magnified by physical attributes
associated with major transportation routes such as grade change and the width of the roadway.
6 of 17
Florence Boulevard, the 30FRP area's eastern and shortest boundary, follows the ridgeline along
the Missouri River Valley to the east and possesses some access limiting characteristics as well.
Because it provides additional north-south access, the boulevard and the row of houses on its east
side in combination with the natural ridgeline behind them, is a much more compatible, softer
edge to the redevelopment area.
Ellison Avenue serves as more of a seam to the single-family residential use to the north of the
30FRP area. It is essentially the same as the portion of the redevelopment area to which it is
adjacent and provides several points of access to and from the north side of the redevelopment
area.
Housing Conditions
Only approximately one-quarter of the residential structures in the 30FRP area are in Good or
better condition according to a windshield survey of the housing stock. The majority of the
housing stock is in Fair condition at 60 percent but a significant amount of the housing is in Poor
condition as indicated on Table 5.
In October of 2014,the 30FRP area had 54 active housing code enforcement cases on file. For
the 42 houses involved, some housing has more than one code enforcement case on file,
seventeen have demolition orders on them, 24 are designated unfit/unsafe and one has only
minor housing code violations. The locations of enforcement activity are scattered, with some
blocks having more than one house and several locations with tightly clustered areas where
housing code enforcement activity is taking place.

Total 509 100.0%
Utilities and Infrastructure
Sewers
The capacity and coverage by the sewer system in the 30FRP area was designed to accommodate
the once fully developed neighborhood. Following implementation of the 30FRP,the sewer
system will continue to accommodate the single-family portion of the area but the connections of
storm and sanitary sewers to city infrastructure will be constructed to accommodate the 30 MP
development. Currently, no sewer problems are being reported, although maintenance will be
7 of 17
needed at some point and replacement of the sewer system will be required eventually. (See Map
2)
Water
Sufficient water supply was provided for the 30FRP area when it was originally developed and
will continue to be available throughout the 30FRP area for infill development. (See Map 3)
Gas
Like the other utilities in the 30FRP area sufficient natural gas capacity is available to
accommodate the new proposed infill housing development. Every street has at least one gas line
to provide service for additional residential units. (See Map 4)
Transportation
Most of the streets within the 30FRP area are local streets intended primarily to serve the
immediate residents. As previously discussed, some nearby and adjacent transportation routes
serve regional purposes and provide good access to the rest of the community but also create
access problems for more local transportation needs. The western boundary of the redevelopment
area, 30th Street, a Major Arterial, provides north and south access to neighborhoods and other
parts of the city. The east west running Sorensen Parkway/Storz Expressway constitutes the
redevelopment areas southern boundary making access to the city and region excellent. The
eastern boundary, Florence Boulevard, is a minor arterial that serves as access to neighborhoods
to the north and south. North 24th Street, a minor arterial, serves as the only access to and from
the south from the interior of the redevelopment area.
Several bus public transportation options are readily available to 30FRP area residents. Two
Metro (formerly Metro Area Transit) bus lines serve the redevelopment area, one along 30th
Street (#30 Route) and the other along 24th Street (#24 Route). The North Omaha Transit Center
at 30th and Taylor is within walking distance of some portions of the neighborhood. The transit
center permits improved access to destinations throughout the Metro bus network, including
express bus routes and connections to Sarpy County and Council Bluffs.
Zoning
The entire 30FRP area is zoned. R4 (35) single-family residential with very few exceptions. R4
zoning is intended for medium density residential and is well suited for the area. The exceptions
are the limited amount of GC General Commercial located along a portion of 30th Street and 24th
Street between Brown and Ogden Streets. Recent changes in zoning to the MP 30 project site are
not indicated on the map. (See Map 5)
The Project Site was rezoned to Community Commercial (CC)with an Area of Civic Importance(ACI)
type 2 overlay district designation approved in May of 2014. The CC zoning designation is intended
for commercial facilities that serve the needs of several neighborhoods containing office and
commercial uses that are compatible with residential areas. The ACI, Area of Civic Importance,
is an overlay district intended to implement the urban design element of the city's comprehensive
8 of 17
plan by creating four overlay districts for different settings, of which the 30 MP development is a
type 2 intended for urban settings. Concurrently to the May 14 action, the City Council approved the
Planned Unit Development (PUD) Plan and the Zoning Board of Appeals approved waivers relating to
the proposed height and onsite parking requirements. The PUD planned unit development overlay
district is intended to provide flexibility in the design of planned urban projects, to encourage
comprehensive planning of major developments, to permit innovation in project design that
includes incorporation of open space and other amenities, and to insure compatibility of
developments with the surrounding urban environment.
The developer of the MP 30 project is applying for a Major Amendment to the PUD and
additional waivers to the Zoning Board of Appeals, both of which are required based on the
addition of a fifth floor of residential units. The applicant anticipates both requests will be
approved in March 2015.
Natural Features
The 30FRP area is flat, though the eastern portion of it lies within about 100 feet of the ridgeline
of the Missouri River Valley. Another topographical feature, though not a natural one, is the
increase in grade along the southern edge of the redevelopment area on which the Storz
Expressway/Sorensen Parkway and the end of the North Freeway are located.
Development Plan Strategy
The 30FRP will use a development approach that is mutually beneficial to the two primary
redevelopment efforts proposed by the plan. The 30 MP project's size and mix of new housing
and office/commercial activity provides a good basis around which to develop infill housing.
Initiating the infill housing development near the 30 MP further improves the physical conditions
surrounding the new mixed use development, improves the quality of the affordable single-
family housing and adds new residents. These new residents are potential users of the MP 30
development which could be a long term benefit to the mixed use development. Complementing
both the MP 30 project and the new housing construction, housing rehabilitation resources will
improve existing homeowner and renter units targeted to areas in which infill housing
construction is occurring using existing city programs.
Property Acquisition
This Redevelopment Plan provides for the acquisition of property within the 30FRP area. The
City plans to acquire vacant lots in several locations within the area. The City may also acquire
deteriorated houses and remove them as a blighting influence as well as for locations for new
housing construction.
As part of the acquisition process the City of Omaha will have the property appraised and offer
just compensation to the property owners. Every reasonable attempt will be made to acquire the
property through negotiated agreement between the property owner and the City. In the event
that the City is unable to negotiate the purchase,the Redevelopment Plan authorizes the use of
9 of 17
the eminent domain process to assist in the acquisition of the property necessary to implement
the plan.
Occupants, if any, will receive moving costs and relocation payments in accordance with the
federal Uniform Relocation Act and the Nebraska Relocation Assistance Act. A one-for-one
replacement of any low/moderate-income dwelling unit demolished for the project will be
provided as required by the Federal Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as
amended. An equivalent replacement housing unit will be provided within the city limits in
accordance with Nebraska Community Development Statutes. The City of Omaha will utilize
programs identified in the Annual Omaha-Council Bluffs Consortium Consolidated Submission
for Community Development Programs Action Plan to provide the replacement dwelling units.
New Infill Housing Development
During the initial phase of the infill development the City of Omaha will acquire approximately
ten sites for the construction of housing. The City may acquire and demolish vacant, abandoned
single-family housing and may use the subsequent lots for new housing construction. Through its
annual Consolidated Plan request for proposals process, the City will secure developers to
construct the homes. The estimated total cost for the initial infill development is $2,200,000
including $700,000 in Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) funds from the City for
property acquisition and site preparation. The new housing construction will include financing
from the Nebraska Affordable Housing Trust Fund(NAHTF) for $500,000 and from Home
Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds for$500,000. These public sources will be
combined with private debt/equity financing in the amount of$500,000, for a total cost of
$1,500,000 for housing construction and$2.2 million in total development costs.

10 of 17
Following the initial phase of infill housing development, the same approach will be taken within
the redevelopment area east of 27th street for the construction of approximately twenty
additional units of affordable single-family housing as funding become available.
30 Metropolitan Place
The development of the $16 million 30 MP project will also take place during the initial stage of
development beginning in 2015 or early 2016. The 121,000 square foot mixed use development
includes 11,000 square feet of new commercial space and 110 one- and two-bedroom apartments
(54 one-bedroom and 56 two-bedroom) affordable to lower income (less than 60 percent of the
Area Median Income)households. The project includes: $1,000,000 in Tax Increment
Financing, $1,754,341 in Owner/General Partner Equity, $4,743,003 in Tax Credit Equity, and
an $8.6 million construction loan. (See Exhibit 1, Metro 30 Site Plan)

Owner/General Partner Equity $1,754,341
Tax Credit Equity $4,743,003
Residential Construction Loan $8,600,000
Total $16,097,344
Consistency with the Master Plan
The number of vacant lots, including the three-acre site at the northeast corner of 30th and Fort
Street, as well as the old and increasingly poor physical condition of the housing within the
redevelopment area detract significantly from the health of the neighborhood and its residents.
One goal of the Concept Element of the City Master Plan states: "The City will ensure that
policies and programs are in place to create healthy and diverse neighborhoods and ensure that
Omahans find affordable housing throughout the city". Infill housing development brings about
significant changes in a neighborhood. In terms of health, infill development eliminates some of
the harmful influences in the neighborhood such as vacant lots and abandoned housing, and
replaces them with the health promoting influence of new single-family housing units. The
master plan element goal of neighborhood health and diversity is further supported by the 30 MP
project. In particular, the 11,000 sq. ft. commercial portion of that project that will attract
desirable activity to the area and bring potential goods and services for neighborhood residents
while the one- and two bedroom rental units broaden the choices available for affordable housing
there.
