Annexation and Zoning Upon Annexation of 3719, 3721, and 3723 Grant Creek Road
UPDATE: On December 13th, 2021 City Council adopted the resolution to annex this property. This case is now closed for comment.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The City of Missoula is reviewing a petition from Diversified Plastics, Inc. to annex the three parcels addressed 3719, 3721, and 3723 Grant Creek Road located at the corner of Grant Creek Road and Howard Raser Drive into city limits. The parcels are a combined 3.32 acres. The existing Missoula County zoning of the subject property is C-I2 Heavy Industry, and the proposed city zoning upon annexation is M1-2 Limited Industrial.
The three properties currently contain four existing buildings in which general manufacturing activities take place, including urethane manufacturing and injection molding. Following the proposed annexation, the applicant intends to construct a building addition that connects two buildings on the two northern parcels, as well as improvements to the parking area on the site, including the provision of 47 parking spaces and landscaping. The applicant requests annexation into city limits in order to allow the site to have access to city water and sewer.
