    PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

    Development Services has received a request from IMEG Corp., on behalf of Homes for Missoula, LLC, for a 10-lot major subdivision and rezone of 1.58 acres located at 123 S. Curtis Street and legally described as the south 110 feet of Lot 5 of Curtis Addition, located in the southwest one-quarter of Section 20, Township 13 North, Range 19 West, P.M.M. Missoula County, as described in Book 1088, at Page 547. The subject property is located in City Council Ward 6 and is within the River Road Neighborhood Council. The proposed subdivision is named Carrera Commons Subdivision.

    The proposed subdivision is within Missoula City limits and is zoned RT10 Residential (two-unit/townhouse). The proposal includes a request to rezone the subject property to RT5.4 Residential (two-unit/townhouse). The current RT10 and proposed RT5.4 zoning districts both permit detached houses, lot-line houses, two-unit townhouses and two-unit houses (duplexes). The setbacks for both zoning districts are the same with a requirement of 20 feet in the front and rear and 7.5 feet on the sides. The maximum height limit of 30 or 35 feet, depending on roof pitch, is also the same for both zoning districts. The RT10 zoning district requires a minimum parcel area of 10,000 square feet, and a minimum of 10,000 square feet of parcel area per dwelling unit, which would currently permit a maximum of 6 dwelling units. The RT5.4 zoning district requires a minimum parcel area of 5,400 square feet, and a minimum of 5,400 square feet of parcel area per dwelling unit, which would permit a maximum of 12 dwelling units.
