The property is currently zoned NR Neighborhood Residential in the County and the applicant is requesting City zoning upon annexation of B2-3 Community Business. It is located in Annexation Area A, which means it generally meets the guidelines for annexation set out in Missoula’s Annexation Policy.

PROJECT NAME:
Rezone of three parcels located at 1201/1203 River Rd & 401 N California St from R80 Residential, RT10 Residential (two-unit/townhouse), and B2-2 Community Business with a Southside Riverfront Neighborhood Character Overlay to B2-3 Community Business
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
An application is under review for the rezoning of three parcels located at 1201/1203 River Road & 401 North California Street. The property is located southwest of the intersection of California Street and River Road. The property currently contains a mix of single-family homes, multi-family buildings, and residential outbuildings, all proposed to be removed with upcoming development.
The property is currently zoned R80 Residential, RT10 Residential (two-unit/townhouse), and B2-2 Community Business with a Southside Riverfront Neighborhood Character Overlay and is proposed to be rezoned in its entirety to B2-3 Community Business, with no overlay. 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.
Under the City’s new Our Missoula 2045 Land Use Plan, the property has been designated a Place Type of UML (Urban Mixed-Use Low), which is intended to reflect an urban residential feel, interspersed with a mix of commercial and cottage industrial uses, while offering a diversity of housing types. The UML Place type has comparable City zoning districts of B1, B2, B3, C1, and M1R. The following chart compares some residential and mixed-use parcel and building requirements of the existing zoning districts with that of the proposed B2-3 Community Business Zoning District.
