    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.

    PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

    Development Services received a request from Cushing Terrell, on behalf of Pando Holdings, for a phased 248-lot major subdivision, annexation of 41.34 acres, and rezoning of the property located at and nearby 1600 Rimel Rd in Missoula adjacent to Hillview Way. Once complete, the subdivision would contain 21 townhome lots, 226 single-family lots, and 1 multi-family lot with 203 units. The property consists of 106.6 acres within seven parcels, two of which are already within City limits and five parcels to be annexed as a part of this proposal. The legal description can be summarized as seven tracts of land in the southwest quarter of the southwest quarter of Section 5 and the southeast quarter of Section 6, Township 12 North, Range 19 West, P.M.M. Missoula County, Montana.

    The property abuts either existing residential development (generally to the west) or residential zoning (generally vacant at this time to the east) on all sides and one religious assembly use to the south. Another upcoming subdivision proposal, Meadow View Homes, is located nearby at the northwest corner across Hillview Way. The property was historically used for pasture grazing and a single-family home on site will be removed as a part of the proposal.

    The proposed design is broken into 7 phases and improvements include the extension of a new collector road off Rimel Road, new water and sewer infrastructure, additional parkland, trail connections, and improvements to Hillview Way. The first phase of the proposed subdivision is the multi-family development currently permitted and under construction at the southwest parcel of the project area off Hillview Way.

    The two parcels currently located within Missoula city limits are zoned a mix of RM1-35 Residential (multi-dwelling), RM0.5 Residential (multi-dwelling), R8 Residential, and B2-1 Community Business. The Hillview Heights Overlay also encompasses a portion of the western part of the site. The five parcels currently located in the County are zoned Residential (R) under Missoula County Zoning Regulations.

    The proposed zoning for the site includes RM0.5 Residential (multi-dwelling), RM1-35 Residential (multi-dwelling), and R5.4 Residential. The proposal also requests the removal of the Hillview Heights overlay. The requested rezone is proposed to remove split-zoning currently in place on the property and to provide appropriate zoning for the future proposed residential development with higher density development located closer to Hillview Way and single-family uses as the site moves east and steepens.

    The proposed zoning designations allow for a wide range of housing types including multi-dwelling buildings, townhomes, and single-family residences. The City’s Our Missoula Growth Policy identifies land use designations for the property of Residential High Density (24 – 43 dwelling units per acre) on the west side of the subject property and Residential Medium Density (3 – 11 dwelling units per acre) as you move east across the site. If developed as proposed, the subdivision would result in an overall density of just over 4 dwelling units per acre, which aligns with the general intent set forth in the Growth Policy, especially given that the proposal calls out higher density development to the west along Hillview Way and less dense development moving east, which upholds with Growth Policy recommendations.

    The subdivision includes 7.8 acres of dedicated parkland that includes a new 8-foot wide gravel path connecting Moose Can Gully Trail to Rimel Road and an extensive network of less invasive singletrack

    trails. In addition to parkland, 21.9 acres of common area would be accessible to residents and the public. The common areas are integrated into the overall layout of residential lots, providing additional trail connections throughout the neighborhood.

    The subdivision includes six variance requests from the City Subdivision Regulations relating to allowing one dead-end street, exceeding block lengths in three different areas, accepting a trail alignment along Rimel Rd not fully meeting street/sidewalk standards, and permitting alleys to provide primary vehicular access to five lots.

    Update: This subdivision, annexation, and rezoning was approved on August 26, 2024.

    PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

    Development Services received a request from 406 Engineering, Inc., on behalf of Denova Northwest, for annexation of 35.28 acres of land, a 182-lot major subdivision, and rezoning located at 110 Sommers Street in East Missoula. The property abuts existing residential development to the west and north, the Clark Fork River to the east, and Interstate 90 to the south. It was historically used for agriculture and includes two residences and a kennel that are no longer occupied.

    The property consists of eight existing tracts of record described as Tracts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of Certificate of Survey No. 6629, Tracts 7 and 8 of Certificate of Survey No. 5298, and Tract A of Certificate of Survey No. 6338, all located in Section 19, Township 13 North, Range 18 West and Section 24, Township 13 North, Range 19 West.

    The property is currently located outside of Missoula city limits and is zoned Residential (R) in Missoula County. In conjunction with annexing the property into the City of Missoula, the proposal includes a request to zone the subject property to the City’s RT5.4 Residential 5.4 (two-unit/townhouse) and apply a new Aspire Neighborhood Character Overlay zoning district. The RT5.4 zoning district permits detached houses, lot-line houses, two-unit townhouses, and two-unit houses.

    The Aspire Neighborhood Character Overlay would expand the allowed uses to include multi-dwelling buildings on 10 lots (Lots 58-67) near the southern boundary of the subdivision. The overlay would also reduce front, rear, and side building setbacks throughout the subdivision and increase the percentage of front yards that may be used for parking or vehicular use. The stated intent of the overlay is to allow the creation of a variety of housing options for varying income levels within a cohesive neighborhood in compliance with the Residential Medium Density (3 – 11 dwelling units per acre) land use designation on the property under the City’s 2035 Our Missoula Growth Policy. If developed as proposed, the subdivision would result in approximately 7 dwelling units per acre.

    The subdivision includes two public park areas including a 2.4-acre linear park with an 8-foot wide pedestrian path proposed along the top of the Clark Fork River bank and a 1.73-acre park abutting the existing Missoula County Canyon View Park at the subdivision’s west boundary.

    The subdivision includes eight variance requests from the City Subdivision Regulations relating to reduced street right-of-way widths, eliminating a sidewalk along one side of a street for 460 feet, extending the maximum block lengths in several locations, and allowing alleys to provide primary vehicular access to three lots.

    Development Services has received a request from IMEG Corp., on behalf of Cathcart Properties Inc., for a 39-lot major residential subdivision and annexation of 18 acres located west of Flynn Lane on Tract 2-A of Certificate of Survey No. 6689. The proposed subdivision is named Sapphire Place.

    The project is within the Sxwtpqyen Neighborhoods Master Plan area and must comply with the Sxwtpqyen Neighborhoods Form Based Zoning Code (Title 21). Title 21 Form Based Zoning Code regulates street types, block perimeters, minimum and maximum densities, lots sizes, ratio of zoning districts (transect zones), land uses, design and more. Title 21 requires that City Council either approve, approve with conditions, or deny the master site plan.

    To comply with the Form Based Zoning Code, the applicant requests zoning upon annexation of Title 21 transect zones: OS Open Space (2.6 acres), T3 Neighborhood Edge (1.06 acres), T4-O Neighborhood General – Open (4.56 acres), T4-R Neighborhood General – Restricted (1.92 acres) and T5 Mixed-Use Center(3.71 acres). The T3 transect zone primarily permits residential uses at a density of 6 to 8 dwelling units per acre, some civic uses, and some educational uses. The T4-R transect zone primarily permits residential uses at a density of 12 to 36 dwelling units per acre, some civic, and some educational uses. The T4-O transect zone primarily permits residential uses at 12 to 36 dwelling units per acre, small scale lodging, commercial, some civic, and some educational uses. The T5 zone permits residential uses at 24 to 72 units per acre, the highest intensity and mix of uses with buildings located close to the sidewalk. The applicant is proposing to preserve historic buildings onsite and to dedicate parkland equivalent to 2.2 acres.

    The applicant is requesting variances to Article 3, Section 3-030.1.C.3 of the City Subdivision Regulations which requires each lot to abut and have access to a public or private street or road.

    UPDATE: On November 1st, 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 two petitions from the Lloyd A. Twite Family Partnership to annex the residential subdivisions known as the Linda Vista 18th and 19th Supplements into the City limits. Concurrently, the City of Missoula is seeking to annex the seven-lot residential Linda Vista 11th Supplement. Homeowners in the Linda Vista 11th Supplement have been receiving municipal sewer services since homes were constructed on the lots in 2001 and 2002. The property owners of Linda Vista 11th Supplement waived the right to protest annexation by the City of Missoula contingent upon receipt of municipal sewer service.

    The Linda Vista 18th Supplement consists of 41 residential lots, streets, and common areas totaling 18.17 acres. Streets, sidewalks, and municipal utilities have been installed. Home construction is pending annexation and approval of building permits. This annexation includes public street segments for Miller Creek Road, Guinevere Drive, Maggie Mae Drive, and Max Drive.

    The Linda Vista 19th Supplement consists of an existing 17-building, multi-dwelling development (an apartment complex) on 15.55 acres described as Tract 3A of Certificate of Survey # 6798. Although the property and apartment buildings are requested to be annexed, the internal roadways serving the homes would remain privately maintained.

    The Linda Vista 11th Supplement final plat was approved in 2001. Each of the seven lots is developed with a home that is served by City sewer. Waiver of the right to protest annexation contingent upon the lots receiving municipal sewer is stated plainly on the final plat. Along with the lots, a segment of Joy Drive would also be annexed and maintained by the City of Missoula. The property is 2.45 acres, including 2.04 acres in lots and 0.41 acres in Joy Drive right-of-way.

    The subject properties are zoned Planned Unit Development / Miller Creek View Addition, which is not proposed to change.

    City Council is responsible for conducting a public hearing to either approve, conditionally approve, or deny this request.

    The subject property will be located in the Miller Creek Neighborhood Council if the annexation is approved.
