    UPDATE: The conditional use request was approved on January 22, 2024. This case is now closed for comment.

    PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

    Development Services has received a conditional use request from David Gray from DVG Architecture and Planning on behalf of the Westside Theater to add tavern use to the existing Westside Theater located at 1200 Shakespeare Street Suite 2. The tavern conditional use will be located in Suite 2 in addition to the existing use of Entertainment and Spectator Sports - Small Venue for Westside Theater. Existing uses on the subject property include Business Equipment Sales and Service, Building Maintenance Service, Car Wash/Cleaning Service, and Sports & Recreation – Participant.

    The subject property is zoned Limited Industrial-Residential (M1R-2). According to Title 20, Section 20.15.020, a Tavern use requires conditional use approval to operate in the M1R-2 zoning district. Title 20, Section 20.105.040 defines a Tavern use as, “an establishment that is primarily engaged in serving alcoholic liquor for consumption on the premises and in which the serving of prepared food and meals constitutes less than 65% of the establishment's gross income. Taverns and nightclubs may offer live entertainment and dancing.”

    Westside Theater intends to sell alcoholic beverages at events. City Council will either approve, approve with conditions, or deny the conditional use request.

    Westside Theater is in City Council Ward 2 and the Westside Neighborhood Council.

    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 Phased Development Review request was approved by City Council on November 6th, 2023. This case is now closed for comment.


    PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

    The subdivider is preparing to file the final plat and create the lots for Phase 1 of the West End Homes Subdivision, approved by City Council on January 9th, 2023. The West End Homes Subdivision is located west of Flynn Lane on Tract E-1 of Certificate of Survey No. 6889 and Tract D of Certificate of Survey No. 6850. Phase 1 includes a large park north of Hellgate Elementary School and 56 lots to be located on England Boulevard. State Law requires City Council to hold a public hearing before each phase of a subdivision proceeds with installation of infrastructure and filing a final plat. City Council will review any changes in regulations or circumstances since approval of preliminary plat for the subdivision. Any new information that may create significant impacts previously not considered by City Council will be considered with the Phased Development Review Process.

    No applicable regulations have changed since the preliminary plat approval. There are several pieces of new pieces of information. Some items are identified in the application cover letter while other items have been identified by staff. New information includes:

    • City Engineering secured funding for the trail running along Flynn Lane. Installation of the trail by the developer will no longer be required. Improvements to Flynn Lane are now required with each abutting phase rather than all with Phase 1.
    • The Sxwtpqyen Special Transportation Fee is tied to building permit approval rather than filing of the Phase 1 final plat. This aligns with actual City process.
    • The City is initiating a change to the timing of payment on the Special Sewer and Water fees. This will be handled via agreement, with a possibility of the fee being split between Phase 1 and Phase 2, rather than all with Phase 1. The agreement would go in front of Council for approval.
    • Public Works & Mobility is no longer creating new Special Improvement Lighting Districts (SILD). The related condition of approval would no longer required creation of a SILD, but still will require installation of street lighting on collector streets.
    • An additional trail was initially proposed through the parkland. City plans have been updated to create a better connection between development to the west and Hellgate Elementary School. The trail is no longer planned to be within the subdivision and the subdivider would not be required to install this trail.
    • Bioswales in boulevards were installed with the Mullan BUILD Grant. The developer now would only be required to landscape the bioswales instead of installing the infrastructure.

    The property is within the Captain John Mullan Neighborhood Council and City Council Ward 2.

    UPDATE: The annexation and subdivision preliminary plat were approved by City Council on June 26th, 2023. This case is now closed for comment.


    PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

    Development Services has received a request from IMEG Corp., on behalf of Cathcart Properties Inc., for a 39-lot major residential subdivision and annexation of 18 acres located west of Flynn Lane on Tract 2-A of Certificate of Survey No. 6689. The proposed subdivision is named Sapphire Place.

    The project is within the Sxwtpqyen Neighborhoods Master Plan area and must comply with the Sxwtpqyen Neighborhoods Form Based Zoning Code (Title 21). Title 21 Form Based Zoning Code regulates street types, block perimeters, minimum and maximum densities, lots sizes, ratio of zoning districts (transect zones), land uses, design and more. Title 21 requires that City Council either approve, approve with conditions, or deny the master site plan.

    To comply with the Form Based Zoning Code, the applicant requests zoning upon annexation of Title 21 transect zones: OS Open Space (2.6 acres), T3 Neighborhood Edge (1.06 acres), T4-O Neighborhood General – Open (4.56 acres), T4-R Neighborhood General – Restricted (1.92 acres) and T5 Mixed-Use Center(3.71 acres). The T3 transect zone primarily permits residential uses at a density of 6 to 8 dwelling units per acre, some civic uses, and some educational uses. The T4-R transect zone primarily permits residential uses at a density of 12 to 36 dwelling units per acre, some civic, and some educational uses. The T4-O transect zone primarily permits residential uses at 12 to 36 dwelling units per acre, small scale lodging, commercial, some civic, and some educational uses. The T5 zone permits residential uses at 24 to 72 units per acre, the highest intensity and mix of uses with buildings located close to the sidewalk. The applicant is proposing to preserve historic buildings onsite and to dedicate parkland equivalent to 2.2 acres.

    The applicant is requesting variances to Article 3, Section 3-030.1.C.3 of the City Subdivision Regulations which requires each lot to abut and have access to a public or private street or road.

    UPDATE: On December 5, 2022 City Council approved the extension to meet conditions of annexation. This case is now closed for comment.


    PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

    At the request of property owner Diversified Real Estate, LLC, on December 13, 2021 the Missoula City Council annexed into city limits three parcels of land addressed as 3719, 3721, and 3723 Grant Creek Road located east of North Reserve Street at the intersection of Grant Creek Road and Howard Raser Drive.

    The property is home to Diversified Plastics, a custom plastics fabrication and engineering company that is expanding its workforce and facilities to meet growing demand. The property is located in the North Reserve - Scott Street Master Plan Area and Urban Renewal District.

    The annexation is subject to six conditions of approval. On behalf of the property owner, IMEG Corporation has requested a two-year extension to annexation conditions #1 and #2, which require curb, gutter, and street improvements to Howard Raser Drive and Grant Creek Road prior to occupancy of a new building addition or within one year, whichever comes first. The building addition is not yet complete and the one-year period will expire on December 13, 2022. The extension request states the timeline for project completion has been delayed due to a number of limitations including building permit review, construction materials limitations, and negotiations for tax increment financing assistance through the Missoula Redevelopment Agency.
