Annexation: 2512 Olofson Dr
UPDATE: This project has been postponed.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The City of Missoula is reviewing a petition from Jamie Erbacher of WGM Group, on behalf of property owner Perry Ashby, requesting annexation of 2512 Olofson, legally described as Lot E of Orchard Homes, Section 19, Township 13 North, Range 19 West, Missoula County, Montana, P.M.M., into the City of Missoula, and zoning upon annexation of C1-3 Neighborhood Commercial with Design Excellence Overlay - Corridor Typology 4.
The lot encompasses 27,312 square feet (0.63 acres) and is currently zoned “Neighborhood Center” in the County, with a land use designation in the ‘Our Missoula’ City Growth Policy of Community Mixed Use. Upon annexation into the City of Missoula, the applicant has requested City zoning of C1-3 Neighborhood Commercial with Design Excellence Overlay - Corridor Typology 4 which is identified as a relatable zoning district under the Growth Policy. The C1-3 zoning district has no setbacks when the property is not abutting a residential zoning district. There is a residential zoning district abutting the northern boundary of the subject property and setbacks may apply subject to Title 20, Section 20.10.030. The maximum allowed height is 65 feet unless abutting residential. The subject property abuts a residential zoning district to the north and is therefore subject to Title 20, Section 20.10.030. The C1-3 zoning district allows for residential and commercial development and would allow 27 dwelling units to be developed on the subject property.
