PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
An application is under review for the rezoning of 1200, 1224, 1228, 1244, 1136, and 1138 Montana Street. The subject properties are located east of Russell Street and north of Wyoming Street. They are currently developed with six detached houses.
The site is currently zoned R20 Residential, and the applicant is seeking to rezone to B2-2 Community Business. City Council will either approve or deny the rezoning request. The requested zoning district is a standard zoning district 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 existing R20 zoning district is considered low-density, allowing one detached house for every 20,000 square feet of parcel area. Based on an estimated area of 53,663 square feet, the current permitted density is two dwelling units. The district also requires the following setbacks: 20-foot front, 15-foot side, 12.5-foot street side, and 20-foot rear.
The requested B2-2 zoning district is mixed-use low intensity business, allowing for 1 dwelling unit per every 1,000 square feet of parcel area. If zoned B2-2 this lot would permit a density of 53 dwelling units. There are no required setbacks in this zoning district, except when development abuts a Residential district. The eastern-most parcel does abut a residential zoning district and will be subject to setback requirements.
The property is part of City Council Ward 3 and the River Front Neighborhood Council.

This case is now closed for comment.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
An application is under review for rezoning of properties located at 455 Mount Avenue and 910 Brooks Street. The subject properties are located southeast of the intersection at Mount Avenue and Brooks Street. It is currently developed with one detached house, a multi-tenant commercial building, and a large detached garage structure. 455 Mount Avenue is currently zoned R5.4 Residential and 910 Brooks Street is currently zoned C1-4 Neighborhood Commercial / Design Excellence Overlay Corridor Typology 1-Node.
The applicant has concurrently applied for a boundary line relocation to allow the property at 910 Brooks Street to acquire a portion of the existing 455 Mount Avenue property containing the detached garage. Under the current zoning, a boundary line relocation would create a split-zoned parcel at 910 Brooks Street, which is not allowed under Title 20 Zoning Regulations. A rezone is required to create zoning districts that align with the new lot boundaries.
The applicant is requesting the proposed parcel at 910 Brooks Street be rezoned to M1R-3 Limited Industrial-Residential / Design Excellence Overlay Corridor Typology 1-Node. The remaining parcel at 455 Mount is requested to be rezoned to M1R-3 Limited Industrial-Residential. The Design Excellence Overlay applies additional site and building standards to new construction and modifications of existing development. Fore more information, view the Design Excellence page on the City’s website.
910 Brooks: The existing C1-4 and proposed M1R-3 zoning districts allow the same residential building types and similar uses, but the existing C1-4 allows maximum building heights of up to 125 feet and the requested M1R-3 only allows buildings of up to 65 feet. Both zoning districts allow for a density of one dwelling unit per 1,000 square feet of parcel area. The current lot configuration would allow for 37 dwelling units. The proposed lot configuration would allow for 49 dwelling units, though no new development is currently proposed. Setbacks are the same for both zoning districts. To review all permitted, prohibited, and conditional uses for each zoning district, see Title 20, Section 20.10.020 and Title 20, Section 20.15.20 and compare the C1-4 and M1R-3 uses in Tables 20.10-1 and 20.15-1.
455 Mount Avenue: The existing R5.4 Residential zoning district allows for detached houses and lot line houses at a density of one dwelling unit per 5,400 square feet of parcel area. The current lot layout and zoning would allow for up to three dwelling units. The proposed M1R-3 zoning district allows one dwelling unit per 1,000 square feet of parcel area. The proposed zoning and lot layout would allow for 6 dwelling units, though no new development is currently proposed. The R5.4 zoning district has a maximum height of 30 or 35 feet depending on roof pitch. The M1R-3 district has a 65 foot height maximum. The R5.4 district requires a 20-foot front and rear setback and a 7.5-foot side setback. The M1R-3 zoning district does not have setbacks unless the parcel abuts a residential zoning district. In this case, 455 Mount Avenue would require a 20-foot front setback on Mount Ave. and a 7.5-foot side setback on the east property line. The R5.4 zoning district primarily only allows residential development. The M1R-3 zoning district allows for residential, commercial, and some limited industrial development. To review all permitted, prohibited, and conditional uses for each zoning district, see Title 20, Section 20.05.020 and Title 20, Section 20.15.20 and compare the R5.4 and M1R-3 uses in Tables 20.05-1 and 20.15-1.
For general rezoning information, review the FAQ’s on this page.
The subject property is in the Rose Park Neighborhood and Council Ward 3.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
City of Missoula Community Planning, Development, and Innovation (CPDI) has received a notice from OZ Architects on behalf of the University of Montana of their intent to construct an Indoor Practice Facility at the intersection of the vacated S Van Buren St. and S 5th St. E. The proposal includes a seasonal, air-inflated dome that will enclose a track and turf field. The project also includes the inflation equipment and two masonry buildings that will house the facility’s entrances, offices, and restrooms. The subject property is located at 655 S Van Buren St. The proposed project includes the removal of six trees over 6” in diameter and no additional landscaping. The project intends to provide additional recreational and practice space for University of Montana athletic teams and other Missoula athletics.
The footprint of the indoor practice facility will be approximately 217 feet North-South and 485 feet East-West. The dome will be 66 feet in height when inflated.
The proposed scope of work for the project does not include the replacement of trees larger than 6” in diameter at breast height. Per the landscaping requirements in Title 20, Chapter 20.65.020.B.8, the removal of trees with a diameter breast height (DBH) of six inches or greater, single stem, must be mitigated by providing one or more replacement trees with a total combined DBH that is at least equal to the total DBH of trees that are removed. Approximately 108” of DBH has been removed and none will be replaced in the scope of the proposed project.
The proposed scope of work for the project also does not include the minimum number of shrubs required by 20.65.020.B3. General site landscaping must consist of at least one tree and six shrubs per 1,000 square feet of required general site landscaping area. The required landscaped area is approximately 93,554 square feet for a total of 564 shrubs. The provided landscaped area is compliant, but the number of required shrubs is not.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The City of Missoula Development Services has received a request from Steve Adler of Adler Architects, Inc, representing the owner of the property, Pighorn, Inc., addressed 502 S 4th St W, for an Administrative Adjustment to decrease the number of required spaces for the property from 5 to 4. Title 20, Section 20.85.110.B.8 authorizes the zoning officer, after consulting with the City Engineer, to approve an administrative adjustment to approve up to a 15% reduction in the number of off-street parking spaces required for nonresidential uses located within 500 feet of a transit stop that is served at intervals of 30 minutes or less between 7:00 am and 9:00 am and between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm.
The subject property is zoned C1-4 (Neighborhood Commercial), which requires 2 off-street parking spaces per dwelling unit and 1 space for every 480 square feet of commercial (office) space. Since the property utilizes shared parking, the residential parking spaces may be reduced by up to 50%, so 2 spaces are required for the dwelling units. The commercial office space is 1241 square feet, so they would be required to provide 2.6 spaces. However, since they are located within 500 feet of a transit stop that is served at intervals of 30 minutes or less at peak times, they are eligible for up to a 15% reduction in the number of required spaces, which brings their required spaces to 2.
The subject property is located in the Riverfront Neighborhood Council.

A special zoning district is an area that has adopted a specific set of regulations, in addition to or in place of standard city zoning regulations, to achieve an intentional pattern of development and design. To modify a section of the zoning ordinance for the special district the entire ordinance must be amended; however, staff is only reviewing the proposed change to Subdistrict B/C with this request.
City Council will either approve, approve with conditions, or deny the rezoning request.

This case is now closed for comment.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
An application is under review for a boundary line relocation subdivision exemption for Lots 6-18 in Block 6 of the Millsite Phase 1 - Wyoming North Subdivision. The proposal includes the rearrangement of the boundaries between the 13 existing lots that were established during the original subdivision of the land.
Montana state law authorizes boundary line relocations to be exempt from subdivision review, but still subject to compliance with municipal regulations. Boundary line relocations of five or fewer lots are reviewed and approved administratively by City Staff. Per MCA 76-3-207(2), the rearrangement of six or more lots may occur when reviewed and approved by the governing body (City Council). The boundary line relocation must maintain compliance with the conditions of the approved subdivision and with local zoning requirements.
