LINCOLN, Neb. — The Lincoln City Council will meet Monday evening to consider multiple development projects and business licenses, including a significant annexation and zoning change for residential development near South 98th Street and Van Dorn Street.

The council's regular meeting, scheduled for 5:30 p.m., will feature several items on its [consent and public hearing agendas](https://lnklan.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=2&event_id=894). The city will not meet the following week due to the Memorial Day holiday.

Two ordinances set for third reading would approve the annexation of approximately 30.24 acres and a change of zone from agricultural to residential planned unit development for property generally located at South 98th Street and Van Dorn Street, applying to Matodol, LLC. The annexation represents part of the continued expansion of the [Wandering Creek planned unit development](https://www.lincoln.ne.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/planning/bampc/planning-commission/agenda-packets/2026/20260415.pdf), which has expanded northward from Van Dorn Street over multiple phases.

The council will also hold public hearings on seven liquor license applications, including Class I licenses for Firebirds Wood Fired Grill at 2950 Pine Lake Road and Double Eagle Golf at 150 Southwest 14th Place. Class C licenses will be considered for 1867 Bar at 101 North 14th Street, and a special designated license for Arnold's at 6200 Havelock Street for an outdoor event on June 6.

Additionally, the council will hear applications from G.O.A.T.'s Table and The Ballroom at Grand Manse for Class C liquor licenses, with hearing dates set for June 8. Manager license applications for Costco Wholesale and Round One Entertainment will also be scheduled for June hearings.

The council will vote on several supplemental agreements for ongoing street and infrastructure projects, including construction engineering services for Adams Street pavement improvements and a supplemental program agreement for the 33rd and Cornhusker Viaduct Project. A resolution will approve levying special taxes for improvements in six business improvement districts.

Several resolutions and ordinances relating to city services also appear on the agenda, including approval of a master services agreement with Selectron Technologies for an interactive voice response system and an amendment to the Fire Ridge annexation agreement to allow use of Lincoln on the Move 2 funding for arterial street improvements near 104th and Van Dorn Streets.

The public may address items on the consent agenda at the beginning of the meeting.
