UPDATE: This Public Forum was heard on July 8, 2024. This case is now closed for comment.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
City of Missoula Community Planning, Development, and Innovation has received a notice from OZ Architects on behalf of the Missoula City-County Animal Control Center of their intent to expand their facility on Butler Creek Rd, just south of I-90. The proposal includes remodeling and expanding the existing facility and adding fire suppression. The subject property is located at 6700 Butler Creek Rd, Missoula, MT 59808 and is owned by the Missoula County Airport Industrial District. The proposed project includes adding approximately 4,300 square feet of office and kennel spaces.
The proposed scope of work for the project is not permitted in Title 20 zoning code. Animal Services, Shelter/Boarding is not a permitted use in the M1-2 Limited Industrial / Missoula Development Park (MDP) Overlay zoning district, where this building is located (Title 20, Section 20.25.075.F.1.b). Expansion of an existing, legal-non conforming use into a new building addition is prohibited.
There are multiple landscaping requirements the applicant will not be meeting, including: boulevard landscaping, natural grasses standards in the MDP Overlay, fence type, height, and locations, and landscape buffers. Title 20, Section 20.25.075.I requires boulevard landscaping. The applicant will not be planting additional boulevard trees, if approved by the urban forester. Two fences are proposed for dog runs and will be 7 feet tall if approved by Engineering. Fences may not exceed five feet in height (20.25.075.L.2). The Missoula Development Park Overlay requires the front yard to contain a maximum of 20% natural grasses (20.25.075.H.1.a). The front yard will contain 69% natural grasses. Last, a landscape buffer is required along the southern property line which abuts a residential use (20.65.060). The Animal Shleter will not be installing a buffer; however, there is an existing berm along this property line.
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 the Missoula County Airport Industrial District which is a County agency. 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.

Rezoning/Release of Deed Restriction: 550 N California St. Missoula Youth Homes

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.

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.
