UPDATE: The rezoning request was approved on December 18, 2023. This case is now closed for comment.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Development Services has received a request from MMW Architects representing Missoula Youth Homes to rezone the property addressed 550 N. California St. from Missoula Youth Homes PUD to C1-3 Neighborhood Commercial with a DE-D Design Excellence Downtown Gateway Overlay. The current Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning allows a 16-bed youth home which is considered a group living use. Missoula Youth Homes is able to accommodate youths that need this service at their other three shelters. They would like to use this structure for administrative offices in addition to a few medical offices offering outpatient therapeutic services. The need to allow other uses at the site is the reason for the rezoning request. For more information, see the cover letter in the application packet.
There is currently a deed restriction on the property from 1991 stating that the property may only be used for low to moderate income housing. The youth homes complied with this restriction. In order to allow the property to be used for offices supporting the needs of Missoula Youth Homes, the deed restriction must be released. The public hearing for the rezoning will include a recommended motion to release the deed restriction.
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 Missoula Youth Homes PUD zoning allows for a 16-bed youth attention home and offices accessory to the home. The PUD zoning, established in 1991, also allows for a 6-unit apartment building. The PUD states this apartment building was to be constructed at a later date, however no such building exists. The uses and development options within the PUD are very limited. The C1-3 Neighborhood Commercial district allows for various commercial and civic uses as well as a few limited industrial uses. The C1-3 district also allows residential development at a density of 1 unit per 1,000 square feet of parcel area. All residential building types including multi-dwelling, townhouse, duplex, and detached house are permitted. The maximum height of the C1-3 district is 65 feet. The Design Excellence Overlay is a zoning overlay that adds additional development standards to the base zoning district. The Downtown Gateway Design Excellence subdistrict applies to surrounding properties with commercial zoning and should be applied to this property as well.
Information on the C1-3 Neighborhood Commercial zoning designation and the Design Excellence Overlay can be found in Title 20, Sections 2.10, 20.25.080, and 20.25.081 at the following link: https://library.municode.com/mt/missoula/codes/municipal_code
Rezoning FAQ’s are available on the righthand side of the Development Applications page on Engage Missoula.
The subject property is in the Westside Neighborhood Council and City Council Ward 2.

Update: The public forum was held by City Council on Monday, September 18th at 6:00 pm. This case is now closed for comment.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
City of Missoula Community Planning, Development, and Innovation received an application from WGM Group on behalf of Missoula County for the parcel at 2340 Mullan Road, the County Detention Center and Temporary Safe Outdoor Space.
The proposal is for the development of an area east of the existing Detention Center as an additional parking lot. The installation of the new eastern parking lot requires compliance with several landscaping standards in Title 20, Section 20.65, which will not be met.
The parking lot will not bring the parcel out of compliance with the 15% General Landscaping area requirement per 20.65.020. However, the required number of trees and shrubs for the parcel will not be met.
The required number of shrubs per 20.65.030 - Street Frontage Landscaping along Mullan Road will not be met and the required landscaped area, and number of trees and shrubs along Broadway will not be met. The proposed parking lot will not have Interior Parking Lot landscaping or islands per 20.65.040. The existing parking and new parking lots will also not meet the requirements of 20.65.050 - Perimeter Parking Lot Landscaping.
The Buffer required per 20.65.060 for commercial uses adjacent to residential uses will not be provided on the eastern property line. The existing chain link fence will remain with no plantings.
In summary, standards for general landscaping, street frontage landscaping, interior parking lot landscaping, perimeter parking lot landscaping and buffer requirements will not be met. The number of trees and shrubs required will not be provided.
City Council is authorized by state law to hold a public hearing, known as a public forum, when a public agency proposes to use public land contrary to the local zoning regulations. The public agency in this case is Missoula County. City Council does not have the power to deny or condition the approval of the project. The proposed use is permitted regardless of the outcome of the hearing. However, public comment is greatly appreciated.
