This is a zone change request from Residential Manufactured Home (RMH) to Highway Commercial (HC)
on the west 388 feet of Lot 10A, Holling Ranch Subdivision, located at 2100 Main Street. The east half of
Lot 10A is already zoned HC. The property is vacant and the north west corner of the parcel has frontage
on Sharron Lane. The applicant is E & S, Incorporated, and is represented by Sanderson Stewart. The
applicant conducted a pre-application neighborhood meeting on October 22, 2009. The Zoning
Commission conducted a public hearing on December 1, 2009, and is forwarding a recommendation of
approval on a 5-0 vote. The City Council held a public hearing on December 21, 2009, and approved the zone change on first reading.

State law at MCA 76-2-304 requires that all zone changes be reviewed in accordance with 12 criteria.
Using the 12 criteria to determine the appropriateness of the zone change request, the City Council may:
1. Approve the zone change request
2. Deny the zone change request
3. Allow withdrawal of the application
4. Delay action for up to thirty (30) days

If approved by the City Council, the proposed zone change should increase the City’s tax base when the
property is developed for commercial uses.

The Zoning Commission recommends approval of Zone Change #859 and adoption of the 12 criteria on a
5-0 vote.
