A Cellular Communication Tower is a Public Utility Structure and a Minor Land Use in the Middle Canyon. Section 5.13 of the Flathead County Zoning Regulations (FCZR) outlines requirements to all wireless telecommunications facilities regardless of the zoning district or overlay in which they are located. Section 5.13.115(C) requires a conditional use permit for towers exceeding sixty feet within 1/4 mile of a State or Federal Highway. Because a Minor Land Use Review is similar to a Conditional Use Permit which requires a public hearing, a Conditional use Permit will be required and will include elements of review for both a Minor Land Use Review and a Conditional Use Permit. The subject property can legally be described as Tract 7B in Section 3, Township 31 North, Range 19 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. 2.
