Administrative Adjustment: 1325 Montana St. - Parcel Area for One Additional Unit
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The City of Missoula Development Services has received a request from Mike Morgan of Hoffmann-Morgan Associates, representing Drake Lemm of 1325 Montana St, for an Administrative Adjustment to increase the number of dwelling units allowed from 16 to 17 units. Title 20 Zoning Code, Section 20.85.110.B.7 authorizes the zoning officer to approve an administrative adjustment to permit the construction of one (1) additional residential dwelling unit on a parcel that would otherwise be prohibited solely because the parcel does not comply with the minimum parcel area standards of the subject zoning district. A request can be made for an adjustment only if the existing parcel area is at least 95% of the required minimum area.
The subject property is zoned B2-2 Community Business, which requires 1,000 square feet of parcel area per dwelling unit. The property is 16,250 square feet or 95.6% of the required 17,000 square feet needed for 17 dwelling units.
If approved by the Zoning Officer, the parcel will be permitted to have 17 dwelling units instead of 16.
