The final plat for the Amended Lot 2B-1A, Block 2, Southgate Subdivision, 2nd Filing, is being presented to City Council for approval. On March 13, 2016, the City Council approved this preliminary plat which will create 2 lots from a 4.35 acre parcel of land.  The parcel is generally located at 5110 Southgate Drive.  The subject property is legally described as Lot 2B-1A, Block 2, of Southgate Subdivision, 2nd Filing and is zoned Highway Commercial.  This subdivision is proposed for commercial uses.  There is currently a hotel on the western side of the parcel with the proposed new lot in the southeast corner.  The owner is Billings Lodging Investors, LLC and the representing agent is Sanderson Stewart.  Upon City Council approval, these documents are appropriate as to form for filing with the Clerk and Recorder.

The City Council may approve or disapprove the final plat of Amended Lot 2B-1A, Block 2, Southgate Subdivision, 2nd Filing. 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 lot may be sold separately and developed, increasing the tax and assessment revenues for the City while also generating service demands.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the final plat of the Amended Lot 2B-1A, Block 2, Southgate Subdivision, 2nd Filing.
