    PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

    An application is under review for rezoning of the property located at 2139 South 7th Street West. The property is located near the intersection of South 7th Street West and Lynn Lane. It is currently vacant.

    The applicant requests a rezone from R5.4 Residential to RM1.5 Residential (multi-dwelling). City Council will either approve or deny the rezoning request. The requested zoning district is a standard zoning districts that applies equally to other areas of the city with the same zoning. City Council cannot subject the rezoning approval to conditions because State Law prohibits conditions to standard zoning districts.

    The R5.4 Residential zoning district requires a minimum parcel area of 5,400 square feet, and a minimum parcel area per unit of 5,400 square feet. The required setbacks are 20 feet in the front and rear, 7.5 feet on interior sides, and 10 feet for street sides. The maximum height is 30 or 35 feet, depending on roof pitch. The permitted residential building types are detached house, lot line house, and mixed-use building.

    The RM1.5 Residential (multi-dwelling) zoning district requires a minimum parcel area of 3,000 square feet, and a minimum parcel area per unit of 1,500 square feet. The required setbacks are 20 feet in the front and rear, 5 feet on interior sides, and 10 feet for street sides. The maximum height is 45 feet. The permitted residential building types are detached house, lot line house, two-unit townhouse, three-unit townhouse, two-unit house, multi-dwelling house, multi-dwelling building, and mixed-use building.

    The rezoning would increase the density from one dwelling unit per 5,400 square feet of parcel area to one dwelling unit per 1,500 square feet of parcel area. With the current R5.4 zoning, the zoning parcel would allow 1 dwelling unit. Under the proposed RM1.5 zoning, the zoning parcel would allow 6 dwelling units. The side interior setback would decrease from 7.5 feet to 5 feet. The maximum permitted height would increase to 45 feet.

    The proposed RM1.5 zoning district would permit Library/Cultural Exhibit, College/University, Fraternity/Sorority, Office, Personal Improvement Service, Residential Support Services, and Wireless Communication Facility - ground-mounted support structure uses. Residential Storage Warehouse, Non-Accessory Parking, and Water Testing Laboratory uses would become conditional.

    UPDATE: The public forum was held on November 13th, 2023. This case is now closed for comment.


    PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

    Community Planning, Development, and Innovation received an application for a public forum to vary from zoning code from the City of Missoula for the parcel at 1919 North Ave. West. The proposal is for the operation of temporary year-round Emergency Homeless Shelter by the Poverello Center in the building where the Emergency Weather Shelter previously operated. Zoning code regulates Emergency Homeless Shelters differently from Emergency Weather Shelters.

    The City is deviating from two sections of Title 20, 20.40.045, section A.3 and section C.1, recognizing that this is a similar use that has operated with success for the last three years. These sections of code will not be met because the site is within 300 feet of a residential district and storage lockers will not be provided. The Poverello Center has an operational plan in place that addresses the lack of required storage lockers.

    Furthermore, the proposed accessory structures, containing showers and bathrooms, will deviate from Title 20, Section 20.45.030.C because they are within 10 feet of each other. The City is also deviating from street frontage landscaping standards in Section 20.65.030, as two trees will be removed for a new sewer connection. No new landscaping is proposed.

    The City Council is authorized to hold a public hearing when an agency proposes to develop public land contrary to local zoning regulations. The public agency in this case is the City of Missoula, which owns the subject property. City Council shall hold the public hearing as a public forum and shall have no power to deny or condition the proposed use, but shall act only to allow a public forum for comment on the proposed use. (See Title 20, Section 20.85.095.E)

    The City of Missoula Development Services has received a request from Mike Morgan of Hoffmann-Morgan Associates, representing the owner of the property addressed 717 Grant St, Blaine McElmurry, for an Administrative Adjustment to increase the number of dwelling units allowed from 20 to 21 units.

    The subject property is zoned RM1-45 (Residential Multi-Dwelling), which requires 1,000 square feet of parcel area per dwelling unit. The property is 20,772 square feet or 98.9% of the required 21,000 square feet needed for 21 dwelling units.

    If approved by the Zoning Officer, the parcel will be permitted to have 21 dwelling units instead of 20.

    PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

    The City of Missoula Development Services has received a request from Mike Morgan of Hoffmann-Morgan Associates, representing the owner of the property addressed 1900 Strand Ave, for an Administrative Adjustment to increase the number of dwelling units allowed from twelve to thirteen units.

A request can be made for an adjustment only if the existing parcel area is at least 95% of the required minimum area.

    The subject property is zoned RM1-45 (Residential Multi-Dwelling), which requires 1,000 square feet of parcel area per dwelling unit. The property is 12,685 square feet or 97.58% of the required 13,000 square feet needed for 13 dwelling units.

    The subject property is located in the Franklin to the Fort Neighborhood Council.
