    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.

    CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

    UPDATE: On May 15, 2023 City Council held the public forum. This case is now closed for comment.


    PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

    Community Planning, Development, and Innovation received an application from Paradigm Architecture on behalf of the YMCA and Missoula County for the parcel at 3000 Russell St.

    The proposed project includes the renovation of the existing YMCA facility and the addition of an Airnasium, childcare facility, and five new signs. There are several variations from local zoning regulations across the site and structures.

    A Day Care Center of thirteen children or more is not a permitted use in OP3. There is currently a day care with the same use on the existing site. That building will be demolished, and a new childcare facility will be constructed.

    The required number of vehicle parking spaces for the proposed new structures and uses is not met on site but is fulfilled by an adjacent lot to the south, leased from the City of Missoula by the YMCA. The site will also not meet short or long-term bicycle parking requirements.

    General landscaping, street frontage landscaping, interior parking lot landscaping, and perimeter parking lot landscaping requirements will not be met. The number of trees and shrubs required for general landscaping will not be provided. The number of shrubs required for street frontage landscaping will not be provided. The parking lot will be mostly unchanged and the existing parking lot islands are not landscaped with trees or groundcover. There are not as many existing parking lot islands as are required. The new islands in the parking lot addition for the childcare facility will have trees but not groundcover. Perimeter parking lot landscaping standards will not be met through a berm, wall, or plantings. The ground-mounted mechanical equipment on site will not be screened from view of the street or park.

    There will be six signs in total, five wall signs and one window sign. There is proposed to be two wall signs on the existing YMCA building, when only one is allowed per building. Both signs will be larger and taller than is permitted. There is also proposed to be a window sign on the second floor of the existing building, which is not permitted. There is proposed to be two wall signs on the new childcare facility. Both signs will be larger than the maximum area permitted and taller than the maximum height permitted. There is proposed to be a wall sign on the new Airnasium to be larger and taller than permitted.

    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: This item was held in committee twice. On May 22, 2023 City Council voted to approve the Family Transfer Subdivision Exemption. This case is now closed for comment.


    PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

    An application is under review for a family transfer subdivision exemption for the subject property located at 3800 Lincoln Road, legally described as Parcel A in Certificate of Survey (C.O.S.) 5029, a tract of land located in the NE1/4 of Section 11, Township 13 North, Range 19 West, P.M.M.

    Missoula City Subdivision Regulations, Article 8, Section 8-040.4(E)2.a.i, state that “the use of a family transfer in combination with other exemptions by the same claimant, regardless of when the other exemption was taken” requires a public hearing so the City Council may determine if the applicant is entitled to the exemption. Family transfers are exemptions to the subdivision, which means that parcels can be created without going through the full subdivision process.

    Mr. and Mrs. Christian wish to transfer 0.68 acres of land to their daughter. If approved by City Council, a 0.68-acre parcel will be created for the transfer.
