Annexation: 2812 & 2816 South 3rd Street W
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The City of Missoula is reviewing a petition from Jamie Erbacher of WGM Group, on behalf of property owner Third Street Partners LLC, requesting annexation of 2812 & 2816 S 3rd St. W, legally described as Lot 8 of Floral Addition, Section 19, Township 13 North, Range 19 West, Missoula County, Montana, P.M.M., into the City of Missoula, and zoning upon annexation of B1-1 Neighborhood Business.
The lot encompasses 20,125 square feet (0.46 acres) and is currently zoned Citizen-Initiated Zoning District 13 (CZD13) in the County, with a land use designation in the ‘Our Missoula’ City Growth Policy of Neighborhood Mixed Use. Upon annexation into the City of Missoula, the applicant has requested City zoning of B1-1 Neighborhood Business which is identified as a relatable zoning district under the Growth Policy. The B1-1 zoning district has no setbacks when the property is not abutting a residential zoning district. The subject property does abut a residential zoning and setbacks apply subject to Title 20, Section 20.10.030. The maximum allowed height is 40 feet unless abutting residential. The subject property abuts a residential zoning district and is therefore subject to Title 20, Section 20.10.030. The B1-1 zoning district allows for residential and commercial development and would allow 20 dwelling units to be developed on the subject property.
