Public Hearings:
 
a.
County Zone Change 723 - RR1 to C3 - This is a zone change request for property generally located at 1604 S 48th St West. This is the location of the Green Bee Dispensary (marijuana cultivation and retail sales) and for Yellowstone Basin Construction. The current zoning is Rural Residential 1 (RR1). Neither use on the property is conforming to the current zoning. The proposed zoning is General Commercial (C3). The property is legally described as C/S 2224 Parcel 2B, of amended Lot 2, a 2-acre parcel of land. The intent of the zone change is to allow two existing businesses to continue in conformance with the County zoning. The County Commissioners adopted a resolution in October 2023 (Res. No 23-116) that requires this marijuana dispensary location to come into conformance with County zoning on or before October 3, 2024. This requires either a zone change or a relocation of the dispensary to a conforming zone district.
