Administrative Adjustment: 708 Stoddard Street– Parcel Area for One Additional Unit
UPDATE: The Administrative Adjustment for one additional unit at 708 Stoddard Street was approved. This case is not closed for comment.
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 708 Stoddard St, BHK Properties LLC, for an Administrative Adjustment to increase the number of dwelling units allowed from 7 to 8 units. Title 20, Section 20.85.110.B.7 authorizes the zoning officer to approve an administrative adjustment to permit the construction of one 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 RM1-45 (Residential Multi-Dwelling), which requires 1,000 square feet of parcel area per dwelling unit. The property is 7,800 square feet or 97.5% of the required 8,000 square feet needed for 8 dwelling units.
If approved by the Zoning Officer, the parcel will be permitted to have 8 dwelling units instead of 7.
