    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.

    PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

    Development Services received a request from Cushing Terrell, on behalf of Pando Holdings, for a phased 248-lot major subdivision, annexation of 41.34 acres, and rezoning of the property located at and nearby 1600 Rimel Rd in Missoula adjacent to Hillview Way. Once complete, the subdivision would contain 21 townhome lots, 226 single-family lots, and 1 multi-family lot with 203 units. The property consists of 106.6 acres within seven parcels, two of which are already within City limits and five parcels to be annexed as a part of this proposal. The legal description can be summarized as seven tracts of land in the southwest quarter of the southwest quarter of Section 5 and the southeast quarter of Section 6, Township 12 North, Range 19 West, P.M.M. Missoula County, Montana.

    The property abuts either existing residential development (generally to the west) or residential zoning (generally vacant at this time to the east) on all sides and one religious assembly use to the south. Another upcoming subdivision proposal, Meadow View Homes, is located nearby at the northwest corner across Hillview Way. The property was historically used for pasture grazing and a single-family home on site will be removed as a part of the proposal.

    The proposed design is broken into 7 phases and improvements include the extension of a new collector road off Rimel Road, new water and sewer infrastructure, additional parkland, trail connections, and improvements to Hillview Way. The first phase of the proposed subdivision is the multi-family development currently permitted and under construction at the southwest parcel of the project area off Hillview Way.

    The two parcels currently located within Missoula city limits are zoned a mix of RM1-35 Residential (multi-dwelling), RM0.5 Residential (multi-dwelling), R8 Residential, and B2-1 Community Business. The Hillview Heights Overlay also encompasses a portion of the western part of the site. The five parcels currently located in the County are zoned Residential (R) under Missoula County Zoning Regulations.

    The proposed zoning for the site includes RM0.5 Residential (multi-dwelling), RM1-35 Residential (multi-dwelling), and R5.4 Residential. The proposal also requests the removal of the Hillview Heights overlay. The requested rezone is proposed to remove split-zoning currently in place on the property and to provide appropriate zoning for the future proposed residential development with higher density development located closer to Hillview Way and single-family uses as the site moves east and steepens.

    The proposed zoning designations allow for a wide range of housing types including multi-dwelling buildings, townhomes, and single-family residences. The City’s Our Missoula Growth Policy identifies land use designations for the property of Residential High Density (24 – 43 dwelling units per acre) on the west side of the subject property and Residential Medium Density (3 – 11 dwelling units per acre) as you move east across the site. If developed as proposed, the subdivision would result in an overall density of just over 4 dwelling units per acre, which aligns with the general intent set forth in the Growth Policy, especially given that the proposal calls out higher density development to the west along Hillview Way and less dense development moving east, which upholds with Growth Policy recommendations.

    The subdivision includes 7.8 acres of dedicated parkland that includes a new 8-foot wide gravel path connecting Moose Can Gully Trail to Rimel Road and an extensive network of less invasive singletrack

    trails. In addition to parkland, 21.9 acres of common area would be accessible to residents and the public. The common areas are integrated into the overall layout of residential lots, providing additional trail connections throughout the neighborhood.

    The subdivision includes six variance requests from the City Subdivision Regulations relating to allowing one dead-end street, exceeding block lengths in three different areas, accepting a trail alignment along Rimel Rd not fully meeting street/sidewalk standards, and permitting alleys to provide primary vehicular access to five lots.

    CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

    Update: This subdivision, annexation, and rezoning was approved on August 26, 2024.

    PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

    Development Services received a request from 406 Engineering, Inc., on behalf of Denova Northwest, for annexation of 35.28 acres of land, a 182-lot major subdivision, and rezoning located at 110 Sommers Street in East Missoula. The property abuts existing residential development to the west and north, the Clark Fork River to the east, and Interstate 90 to the south. It was historically used for agriculture and includes two residences and a kennel that are no longer occupied.

    The property consists of eight existing tracts of record described as Tracts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of Certificate of Survey No. 6629, Tracts 7 and 8 of Certificate of Survey No. 5298, and Tract A of Certificate of Survey No. 6338, all located in Section 19, Township 13 North, Range 18 West and Section 24, Township 13 North, Range 19 West.

    The property is currently located outside of Missoula city limits and is zoned Residential (R) in Missoula County. In conjunction with annexing the property into the City of Missoula, the proposal includes a request to zone the subject property to the City’s RT5.4 Residential 5.4 (two-unit/townhouse) and apply a new Aspire Neighborhood Character Overlay zoning district. The RT5.4 zoning district permits detached houses, lot-line houses, two-unit townhouses, and two-unit houses.

    The Aspire Neighborhood Character Overlay would expand the allowed uses to include multi-dwelling buildings on 10 lots (Lots 58-67) near the southern boundary of the subdivision. The overlay would also reduce front, rear, and side building setbacks throughout the subdivision and increase the percentage of front yards that may be used for parking or vehicular use. The stated intent of the overlay is to allow the creation of a variety of housing options for varying income levels within a cohesive neighborhood in compliance with the Residential Medium Density (3 – 11 dwelling units per acre) land use designation on the property under the City’s 2035 Our Missoula Growth Policy. If developed as proposed, the subdivision would result in approximately 7 dwelling units per acre.

    The subdivision includes two public park areas including a 2.4-acre linear park with an 8-foot wide pedestrian path proposed along the top of the Clark Fork River bank and a 1.73-acre park abutting the existing Missoula County Canyon View Park at the subdivision’s west boundary.

    The subdivision includes eight variance requests from the City Subdivision Regulations relating to reduced street right-of-way widths, eliminating a sidewalk along one side of a street for 460 feet, extending the maximum block lengths in several locations, and allowing alleys to provide primary vehicular access to three lots.

    UPDATE: On April 18th, 2022 City Council approved the phased development review of Phases 2 and 3 of Remington Flats Subdivision with amended findings of fact and conditions of approval.


    PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

    The subdivider is preparing to file the final plat and create the lots for Phase 2 and 3 of the Remington Flats Subdivision approved by City Council on October 19, 2020. Remington Flats Subdivision is located east of Chuck Wagon Drive just north of 44 Ranch Subdivision in the Captain John Mullan Neighborhood Council area. State Law requires City Council to hold a public hearing before each phase of a subdivision proceeds to filing a final plat. City Council will review any changes in regulation or whether there is new information that may create significant adverse impacts for each phase that differs from what City Council considered at preliminary plat approval for the subdivision. Phase 2 and 3 are the second and third phases proceeding to final plat filing. The final plat for Phase 1 of Remington Flats Subdivision has been submitted for City staff review following City Council Phased Development Review approval on January 25, 2021.
