Request for Extension to Meet Conditions of Annexation at 3719, 3721, & 3723 Grant Creek Road
UPDATE: On December 5, 2022 City Council approved the extension to meet conditions of annexation. This case is now closed for comment.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
At the request of property owner Diversified Real Estate, LLC, on December 13, 2021 the Missoula City Council annexed into city limits three parcels of land addressed as 3719, 3721, and 3723 Grant Creek Road located east of North Reserve Street at the intersection of Grant Creek Road and Howard Raser Drive.
The property is home to Diversified Plastics, a custom plastics fabrication and engineering company that is expanding its workforce and facilities to meet growing demand. The property is located in the North Reserve - Scott Street Master Plan Area and Urban Renewal District.
The annexation is subject to six conditions of approval. On behalf of the property owner, IMEG Corporation has requested a two-year extension to annexation conditions #1 and #2, which require curb, gutter, and street improvements to Howard Raser Drive and Grant Creek Road prior to occupancy of a new building addition or within one year, whichever comes first. The building addition is not yet complete and the one-year period will expire on December 13, 2022. The extension request states the timeline for project completion has been delayed due to a number of limitations including building permit review, construction materials limitations, and negotiations for tax increment financing assistance through the Missoula Redevelopment Agency.
