Nebraska Revised Statutes Chapter 14. Cities of the Metropolitan Class § 14-403. Building zones; regulations; requirements; purposes; limitations

(1) Regulations adopted pursuant to sections 14-401 to 14-418 shall comply with the Municipal Density and Missing Middle Housing Act and be made in accordance with a comprehensive plan and designed to (a) lessen congestion in the streets, (b) secure safety from fire, panic, and other dangers, (c) promote health and the general welfare, (d) provide adequate light and air, (e) prevent the overcrowding of land, (f) secure safety from flood, (g) avoid undue concentration of population, (h) facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks and other public requirements, and (i) promote convenience of access.

(2) Such regulations shall be made with reasonable consideration, among other things, as to the character of the district and its peculiar suitability for particular uses, and with a view to conserving the value of buildings and encouraging the most appropriate use of land throughout the city. Whenever the city council shall determine that the use or contemplated use of any building, structure, or land will cause congestion in the streets, increase the danger from fire or panic, imperil public safety, cause undue concentration or congregation of people, or impede transportation, the city council may include in such regulations requirements for alleviating or preventing such conditions when any change in use or zoning classification is requested by the owner.
