Council approves zone change and variance to create Homestead Acres development
Summary
The council unanimously approved a zone change (Zone Change 10‑75) and a width variance for an 8.38‑acre parcel to be known as Homestead Acres, following staff presentation and no public opposition during the hearing.
The Billings City Council voted unanimously to approve a zone change (Zone Change 10‑75) along with an associated width variance for an 8.38‑acre parcel — described as Lot 67A of the amended plot of Sunny Cove Fruit Farms to be known as Homestead Acres.
Planner Karen presented background on a public zone strip created during a planned‑neighborhood development process and said the zoning commission recommended approval of the zone change and variance to eliminate the impractical public street or alley requirement between corridor mixed use and agricultural zoning. The applicant’s agent, John Halverson, attended but did not offer additional comment. No members of the public spoke at the hearing on the item.
Councilmember Tidwell moved to approve the resolution adopting findings consistent with staff recommendations and the zoning commission; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
Next steps: Staff will implement the zoning change and related conditions as adopted by council.
