New City material places Lifestyle Estates—a proposed 2.65-acre annexation, PUD zoning, and seven-lot single-family subdivision—before the Planning Advisory Board/Zoning Commission. New County materials advance Big Bend Ranch XVII and North Range Estates from the September 15 Planning Board agenda to September 22 Commission public hearings, and place two proposed CDBG applications before the Commission: $534,588 for South Wind Water & Sewer District and $750,000 for Cascade Senior Center. No City or County minutes or other completed-action record was retrieved for these September 22 agenda items, so this report treats them as proposed action only.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sep. 22 | City of Great Falls planning / housing Proposed recommendation only | Planning Advisory Board/Zoning Commission agenda packet | Public hearing on annexing Lots 11AB and 12 of Beebe Tracts, assigning PUD zoning, and preliminarily platting Lifestyle Estates. The staff report describes a 2.65-acre site southwest of Central Avenue and 46th Street South, proposes seven single-family lots, and recommends approval subject to conditions. It says the development would connect to nearby Meadowview Village infrastructure. | New infill housing and an annexation/PUD decision point near Meadowview Village; the shared-infrastructure arrangement may be useful context for housing and site-development conversations. | Did the Planning Board make a recommendation, and when is the City Commission decision scheduled? |
| Sep. 16 & 22 | Cascade County planning / housing Proposed action only | Commission Work Session agenda Commission Meeting packet | The September 16 work-session agenda newly listed Big Bend Ranch XVII and North Range Estates. The September 22 Commission packet then places both before the Commission for public hearing and a motion to approve or disapprove. This is a new stage beyond the September 15 Planning Board materials reported last run; no Commission minutes or final decision was retrieved. | Both residential subdivision proposals have reached a County Commission decision point, creating a clear watch point for rural/County housing supply and associated service needs. | What action, if any, does the Commission record after the hearings, and what conditions accompany either plat? |
| Sep. 22 | Cascade County infrastructure / funding Proposed action only | Commission Meeting packet | Resolutions 26-40 and 26-41 request Commission authorization to submit Montana Department of Commerce CDBG applications: $534,588 for South Wind Water & Sewer District and $750,000 for Cascade Senior Center. The packet says the County selected each project after its June 23 needs-assessment hearing. The packet requests approval; it is not a grant award or a verified completed Commission action. | The South Wind application is a concrete rural water-and-sewer funding signal; the proposed applications also identify potential public-facility investments relevant to County partners. | Were the application-authorizing resolutions adopted, and what project scope, match, timing, and service-area details should GFDA track? |
