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 675 S 5th St W, Barley Holdings LLC, for an Administrative Adjustment to increase the number of dwelling units allowed from 15 to 16 units.
