Libby council approves intent to annex JB's Tires property; public hearing set for June 2
Summary
The Libby City Council approved Resolution 2054, declaring its intent to annex two parcels owned by JB's Tires into the city limits and to zone the land highway commercial; the council set a public hearing for June 2, 2025 to hear testimony on annexation and zoning.
The Libby City Council on May 1 approved Resolution 2054, declaring the city’s intent to annex two parcels owned by JB's Tires along U.S. Highway 2 and setting a public hearing for June 2, 2025 to consider annexation and highway‑commercial zoning.
The resolution, introduced under the statutory annexation-by-municipalities procedure in Title 7, Chapter 2, Part 46, Section 4605 (as cited in the resolution text), says the owners filed a petition on March 17, 2025 and requests the properties be brought inside the corporate limits. The council approved the motion with a correction and directed the city clerk/treasurer to publish notice on May 7 and May 16 as required by statute.
Adoption of the resolution begins the formal annexation process; council members said the zoning commission recommended the annexation and set a public hearing on related matters on May 5, 2025. The council noted the parcels are currently unzoned in the county and would be assigned a highway‑commercial zoning designation if annexed.
The council recorded no further deliberation and took the vote after a call for public comment; the motion carried. The June 2 hearing will provide opportunity for owners, neighbors and other stakeholders to comment before the council makes a final annexation decision.
