UPDATE: On November 29, 2022 Board of Adjustment approved the variance requests. This case is now closed for comment.


PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

A public hearing was scheduled for October 26th, 2022 however a quorum was not met. The Board of Adjustment has called a Special Meeting for November 29th, 2022 to hear the variance requests of the Montana Food Bank Network. Staff are re-noticing the project for the upcoming hearing. No changes have been made to the application packet. Agency comments submitted during the first agency comment period are included in the staff report.

Development Services has received a request from Luke Jackson with Loci Architecture & Design on behalf of the Montana Food Bank Network, for variances from the building height, front yard setback, parking and drive surface setback from property line, and parking and drive surface setback from building requirements of the Missoula Development Park Overlay for the property legally described as Lot 2 & Lot 5 in Maggie Jax Subdivision, Section 36, Township 14 North, Range 20 West, P.M.M. The applicant is requesting these variances as part of a proposal to construct a Montana Food Bank distribution warehouse to meet current and immediate food distribution needs across the state of Montana. These variance requests are in response to the property existing on a steep slope creating 114,836 square feet of no build-area.
