Adjournment
The City Council has designated Monday, July 26, 2021, at 5:30 p.m. as the date and time to receive the Zoning Commission recommendation on Special Review 990 and conduct a public hearing. The City Council hearing will be held on the 2nd Floor of City Hall at 210 N 27th Street. The public is invited to attend in person.
Before taking any action on an application for a special review, the City Council shall first consider the findings and recommendations of the City Zoning Commission. Those findings and recommendations will be based on BMCC 27-1623.D (1 through 9). Each zoning district is primarily intended for a predominant type of use as identified in BMCC Table 27-1000.1. There are also a limited number of specific uses subject to special review that may or may not be appropriate in a particular district, depending upon all the circumstances of the individual use on the site and in context with surrounding development. Consideration of these uses includes examination of the location, nature of the proposed use, the character of the surrounding development, traffic capacities of adjacent streets, and potential environmental effects, and whether specific conditions can be applied to mitigate the potential negative impacts of the use. Special review uses are special exceptions to the general terms of Billings Zoning Code.
In no case shall the City Council approve a special review use other than the one advertised. The City Council shall take one of the following actions on these Special Review requests: 1) approve the application; 2) conditionally approve the application; 3) deny the application; 4) allow withdrawal of the application; or 5) delay the application for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days.
Testimony regarding the above-mentioned item may also be submitted in writing to the Planning Division, 2825 3rd Avenue North, 4th Floor, Miller Building, Billings, MT 59101 (247-8676) or to the Mayor and City Council, P.O. Box 1178, Billings, MT 59103.
Additional information on any of these items is available in the Planning and Community Services Office. Public hearings are accessible to individuals with physical disabilities. Special arrangements for participation in the public hearings by individuals with hearing, speech, or vision impairment may be made upon request at least three days prior to the hearing. Please notify Robbin Bartley, Administrative Assistant, at 247-8676 or e-mail to bartleyr@billingsmt.gov
