1. File #KA-23-07 - A request from Dusty Acres, LLC, for annexation and initial zoning of R-4 (Residential) for approximately 51.8 acres. The area to be annexed includes property generally on the west side of Highway 93 North to the south of Hagerman Lane and adjacent to the city limits on the south and west sides of the property (the boundary of future phases of Stillwater Village), including, but not limited to, property addressed as 170, 180, 190, and 200 Hagerman Lane. The annexation area also includes property
on the east side of Highway 93 North generally between Hagerman Lane to approximately 200 feet north of Ponderosa Lane, including, but not limited to, property addressed as 3327 Highway 93 North.
2. Files #KPUD-23-03 and KPP-23-09 – A request from Stillwater Development Partners, LLC, for
Stillwater Bend Phase 2, which includes applications for a Planned Unit Development (“PUD”) overlay and major preliminary plat on approximately 30.5 acres of land. The property was annexed in 2017 as part of a 56-acre placeholder PUD with 25.5 acres along Highway 93 zoned B-2 (General Business) and the remainder zoned RA-2 (Residential Apartment/Office). In 2020, the B-2 area received a full PUD approval with the RA-2 remaining as a placeholder PUD. This PUD proposal would encompass the
remaining area. The proposed PUD would allow for 432 multi-family dwelling units. The preliminary plat includes four lots, roads, and common area. The property is located at the western terminus of Rose Crossing to the west of Highway 93 North.
3. File #KCU-23-05 – A request from Immanuel Lutheran Communities for a conditional use permit to allow the expansion of an existing residential care facility on property located at 185 Crestline Avenue and for a building height exceeding sixty (60) feet. The expansion, called the Lofts at Buffalo Hill, will include
40 new assisted living apartment units in a four-story addition along with a fitness area and parking on the
first level. A conditional use permit is required due to the property’s location in an H-1 (Health Care) zone. The building is planned to be up to 68 feet tall to allow for the parking area under the structure and
for improved architectural design. Under the zoning ordinance, sixty (60) feet is allowed as a matter of
right and an unlimited height is allowed with a conditional use permit. The addition will be located in the northwest portion of the property along Claremont Street. E. Old Business

The planning board will hold a work session on the items listed below:
1. Public Participation Plan - As part of the transition of the City’s land use procedures under the new Montana Land Use Planning Act (Senate Bill 382), the City will create and adopt a Public Participation Plan that describes how community members and stakeholders will be involved in the process of adopting,
amending, and updating the growth policy/land use plan as well as land use regulations. The Plan is
intended to raise awareness, provide a roadmap for the public to outline a clear and accessible public process, ensure input is sought, and be considered by a broad range of participants. This work session is anticipated to begin the discussion of the framework for that Plan.
Next Regular Meeting: Tuesday, December 12, 2023
