This is a zone change request from Community Commercial (CC) to Residential Manufactured Home (RMH) on Lot 13 of Kuhlman Subdivision, an 8,832 square foot parcel of land. The property is owned by Duane and Carol Long (Long Brothers Trucking) and the agent is Heather Long. The property is one lot in a group of lots used by Long Brothers Trucking for material storage and truck repairs. Lot 13 had a manufactured home in the past but the last manufactured home was removed more than 1 year ago and another manufactured home cannot be re-established except through a zone change. The owners conducted a pre-application neighborhood meeting on May 22, 2013, at the subject property. The Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing on July 2, 2013, and is forwarding a recommendation of approval on a 4-0 vote. The City Council conducted a public hearing on July 22, 2013, and approved the zone change on first reading.

State law at Section 76-2-304, MCA, requires that all zone changes be reviewed in accordance with 10 criteria. Using the 10 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

Approval of the zone change will lower the fees assessed on this lot for arterial construction and storm water system maintenance.

The Zoning Commission recommends that the City Council approve Zone Change 913 and adoption of the findings of the 10 criteria on a 4-0 vote.
