PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The City of Missoula Development Services has received a request from Mike Morgan of Hoffmann-Morgan Associates, representing the owner of the property addressed 1900 Strand Ave, for an Administrative Adjustment to increase the number of dwelling units allowed from twelve to thirteen units.
