The final plat for Billings Wadsworth Subdivision, is being presented to Council for approval. On July 15, 2014, the owners submitted this plat for review as an expedited plat creating two lots from a 0.80 acre parcel of land at the southwest corner of Grand Avenue and 9th Street West. The subject property is legally described as Lot 15A-1, Block 2 of Sunset Subdivision, 2nd Filing and was the former site of JB's Restaurant. The proposed subdivision will create two lots for new commercial spaces; Lot 1 is under development for a new Starbuck's coffee shop while the future use on Lot 2 is still undetermined.  The owner is Billings 910 Grand Ave, LLC,  and the representing agent is Wadsworth Development Group. Upon City Council approval, these documents are appropriate as to form for filing with the Clerk and Recorder.

The City Council may approve or deny the final plat of Billings Wadsworth Subdivision. If the City Council chooses to deny the final plat, it must base the denial on the criteria outlined in MCA 76-3-611 and BMCC Section 23-307.

Should the City Council approve the final plat, the newly created lots may be developed and sold separately which will increase tax revenues for the City.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the final plat of Billings Wadsworth Subdivision.
