    PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

    The City of Missoula Development Services has received a conditional use request for a Boarding Kennel to be located at 2100 S Reserve Street in Missoula.

The Kennel will serve a maximum of twenty (20) dogs at one time.

    UPDATE: On November 29th, 2021 City Council adopted the ordinance to rezone this property. This case is now closed for comment.


    PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

    An application is under review for rezoning of property located at 2520 Schilling Street and 2134 Dearborn Avenue. The property is located at the intersection of Schilling Street and Dearborn Avenue, two blocks south of South Avenue. The site is currently zoned RM2.7 Residential Multi-dwelling. The applicant is seeking to change the zoning to B2-2 Community Business. City Council will either approve or deny the rezoning request. The requested zoning districts are standard zoning districts that apply equally to other areas of the City with the same zoning. City Council cannot approve the rezoning subject to conditions because State Law prohibits conditions of approval for rezones to standard zoning districts.

    The goal for this rezoning is to allow for multi-dwelling residential buildings. The vision for the project, if the rezone is approved, is to demolish the existing warehouse on the site and to build three multi-dwelling residential buildings. The rezone from RM2.7 to B2-2 will allow for these residential buildings to be built at a higher density of one unit for each 1,000 square feet of parcel area on the project site (the current RM2.7 zone allows a density of one unit per 2,700 square feet). The rezone will also reduce setback standards and increase height limits to 50 feet; both factors that create room for the project to achieve a higher density.

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

Provide your comment by Friday, October 8, 2021 to be included in the staff report provided to Planning Board. Your comments may be considered by Planning Board and City Council in their decision to approve or deny this request.

    All meetings will be virtually via Zoom, with more information to be posted here: https://www.ci.missoula.mt.us/1149/AgendasWebcastsMinutes
