II. SPECIAL INFORMATION:
Site
Characteristics:
The site is comprised of approximately 7,841 square feet located in a
densely developed area of residential, commercial, and industrial uses near
Downtown Omaha. The Rows on South Hill townhome development,
located at South 10th Street and Johnston Plaza, was originally approved in
a TIF redevelopment plan in 2015. In January of this year, the applicant
amended the TIF redevelopment plan to include this proposed expansion.
Development
Proposal:
The applicant is proposing to subdivide the existing parcel into a total of six
residential lots and one outlot. An associated PUR has been submitted with
this request for the development of a 6-unit townhome structure similar in
design and scale to the Rows on South Hill development located at 10th
Street and Johnson Plaza. Based on the unique character of the
development, a number of exceptions to the underlying zoning are required.
Date: January 30, 2019
Case Number: C12-19-025
Applicant: Clarity Development Company
Request: Preliminary and Final Plat of SOUTH HILL ADDITION, a minor plat inside
the City limits, with a waiver of Section 53-8(4)(a), Lot depth.
Location: 1301 South 12th Street

RML
As a part of this subdivision of the property, the applicant has requested a
waiver to the minimum lot depth from 100 feet to 40 feet for each townhome
lot.
Public
Improvements:
The applicant must coordinate with Public Works to provide a fair market
value payment for the land in the proposed vacation of right-of-way. .
Proposed sanitary sewer in Outlot A must be constructed as a public
improvement, subject to Omaha Public Works design review and approval.
Use, ownership, and maintenance of the outlot must be addressed in the
final subdivision agreement.
All stormwater management ordinances and policies must be met.
Land Use and
Planning:
The Future Land Use Element of the City’s adopted Master Plan shows the
property designed as low density residential. Townhomes are an
appropriate use in the low density residential designation.
The requested waiver for lot depth will allow each of the six units to be sold
independently and located on individual lots. Outlot A effectively serves as
the rear yard setback to the existing structure, ensuring a safe and effective
setback is maintained to adjacent properties without the necessary lot
depth. Based on the unique character of development and the density of
the neighborhood, the requested waiver to reduce lot depth can be
supported.
The associated PUR will ensure that the design of the site complies with
the infill and redevelopment guidelines as identified in the City’s adopted
Master Plan.
Revise the final plat title block to include the correct legal description, “Lots
1-6, Inclusive, and Outlot A”.
III. ANALYSIS:
Conditionally, the proposed plat generally complies with Chapter 53, Subdivisions, Chapter 55,
Zoning, and the goals and objectives of the Omaha Master Plan.
IV. RECOMMENDATIONS:
Approval of the waiver to Chapter 53-8(4)(a), lot depth.
Approval of the preliminary plat, subject to the following conditions:
1. Revise the plat document to reflect the correct legal description.
2. Provide a fair market value payment for the land in the proposed right-of-way vacation.
3. Construct sanitary sewer in Outlot A as a public improvement, subject to the Omaha
Public Works design review and approval process.
4. Compliance with all stormwater management ordinances and policies.
5. Provide for the use, ownership, and maintenance of the outlot in the subdivision
agreement.
Approval of the final plat, subject to the conditions of the preliminary plat and submittal of an
acceptable final subdivision agreement prior to forwarding the request to City Council.
