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.

City Council cannot subject the rezoning approval to conditions because State Law prohibits conditions to standard zoning districts.
The R5.4 Residential zoning district requires a minimum parcel area of 5,400 square feet, and a minimum parcel area per unit of 5,400 square feet. The required setbacks are 20 feet in the front and rear, 7.5 feet on interior sides, and 10 feet for street sides. The maximum height is 30 or 35 feet, depending on roof pitch. The permitted residential building types are detached house, lot line house, and mixed-use building.

The rezoning would increase the density from one dwelling unit per 5,400 square feet of parcel area to one dwelling unit per 1,500 square feet of parcel area. With the current R5.4 zoning, the zoning parcel would allow 1 dwelling unit. Under the proposed RM1.5 zoning, the zoning parcel would allow 6 dwelling units. The side interior setback would decrease from 7.5 feet to 5 feet. The maximum permitted height would increase to 45 feet.
The proposed RM1.5 zoning district would permit Library/Cultural Exhibit, College/University, Fraternity/Sorority, Office, Personal Improvement Service, Residential Support Services, and Wireless Communication Facility - ground-mounted support structure uses.

Update: The public forum was held by City Council on Monday, September 18th at 6:00 pm. This case is now closed for comment.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
City of Missoula Community Planning, Development, and Innovation received an application from WGM Group on behalf of Missoula County for the parcel at 2340 Mullan Road, the County Detention Center and Temporary Safe Outdoor Space.
The proposal is for the development of an area east of the existing Detention Center as an additional parking lot. The installation of the new eastern parking lot requires compliance with several landscaping standards in Title 20, Section 20.65, which will not be met.
The parking lot will not bring the parcel out of compliance with the 15% General Landscaping area requirement per 20.65.020. However, the required number of trees and shrubs for the parcel will not be met.
The required number of shrubs per 20.65.030 - Street Frontage Landscaping along Mullan Road will not be met and the required landscaped area, and number of trees and shrubs along Broadway will not be met. The proposed parking lot will not have Interior Parking Lot landscaping or islands per 20.65.040. The existing parking and new parking lots will also not meet the requirements of 20.65.050 - Perimeter Parking Lot Landscaping.
The Buffer required per 20.65.060 for commercial uses adjacent to residential uses will not be provided on the eastern property line. The existing chain link fence will remain with no plantings.
In summary, standards for general landscaping, street frontage landscaping, interior parking lot landscaping, perimeter parking lot landscaping and buffer requirements will not be met. The number of trees and shrubs required will not be provided.
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 Missoula County. 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.

UPDATE: The Administrative Adjustment for one additional unit at 717 Grant Street was approved. This case is now closed for comment.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The City of Missoula Development Services has received a request from Mike Morgan of Hoffmann-Morgan Associates, representing the owner of the property addressed 717 Grant St, Blaine McElmurry, for an Administrative Adjustment to increase the number of dwelling units allowed from 20 to 21 units. Title 20, Section 20.85.110.B.7 authorizes the zoning officer to approve an administrative adjustment to permit the construction of one additional residential dwelling unit on a parcel that would otherwise be prohibited solely because the parcel does not comply with the minimum parcel area standards of the subject zoning district. A request can be made for an adjustment only if the existing parcel area is at least 95% of the required minimum area.
The subject property is zoned RM1-45 (Residential Multi-Dwelling), which requires 1,000 square feet of parcel area per dwelling unit. The property is 20,772 square feet or 98.9% of the required 21,000 square feet needed for 21 dwelling units.
If approved by the Zoning Officer, the parcel will be permitted to have 21 dwelling units instead of 20.
