    Project description

    Steve and Janice Tillotson (applicants), represented by Thomas Cannon of 406 Engineering, are requesting to use the family transfer exemption from subdivision review to divide their 3.33-acre parcel located at 5808/5810 Legend Lane in Lolo into 2 parcels (Lot A-1-1: .73 acres; Lot A-1-2: 2.60 acres). Lot A-1-1 will be kept by the applicants, while Lot A-1-2 will be gifted to their adult son, Nathan. The gifted parcel will be developed with a residential dwelling unit with an individual well and septic system.

    The property is currently located in an unzoned area of Missoula County, and is classified as Residential, 1 dwelling unit/5 acres by the 2002 Lolo Regional Plan, an update of the 1975 Missoula County Comprehensive Plan.


    What is a family transfer?

    Montana law specifically allows landowners to divide land and gift or sell one parcel per immediate family member (like a child, parent or spouse), without full subdivision review.

    Requests for family transfers must always come before the commissioners. Missoula County considers dozens of family land transfers every year. It’s not rare — other counties across Montana regularly process these applications too. It’s not a loophole — it’s in the law for a reason: to help families live near each other or pass down land. It doesn’t skirt regulations — the process requires surveys, documentation, fees and approval by county commissioners.

    The landowner and recipient must be real people, not LLCs or corporations. It can only be used once per family member per county.

  • Frenchtown Valley View Trailer Park/Plum Storage Buildings for Lease or Rent

    Share Frenchtown Valley View Trailer Park/Plum Storage Buildings for Lease or Rent on Facebook Share Frenchtown Valley View Trailer Park/Plum Storage Buildings for Lease or Rent on X (formerly Twitter) Share Frenchtown Valley View Trailer Park/Plum Storage Buildings for Lease or Rent on Linkedin Email Frenchtown Valley View Trailer Park/Plum Storage Buildings for Lease or Rent link

    Project description

    Eeon Ventures LLC is requesting to convert an existing 40-foot by 60-foot shop building located at 15267 Mullan Road from a lease or rent restricted building to a leasable or rentable space for dry storage. The applicant has submitted a Building for Lease or Rent Application to the county.

    The property is known as Frenchtown Valley View Trailer Park and currently contains 217 residential mini-warehouse units in 11 buildings, a 23-unit mobile home park, a pump house and the 40-foot by 60-foot shop. The area containing the mini-warehouses, including the shop, is known as Plum Storage. The mobile home park existed before the buildings for lease or rent regulations were in effect and were exempt from review. The mini-warehouses were subject to the buildings for lease or rent regulations.


    Property history

    The mini-warehouse development underwent several phases. The first phase consisted of building 103 mini-warehouse units in four buildings and was approved on April 8, 2015.

    The second phase consisted of 114 mini-warehouse units built within seven buildings and was approved on Feb. 22, 2018.

    The 40-foot by 60-foot shop was originally constructed for private use by the previous owner and has not been leased or rented. Eeon Ventures LLC acquired the Frenchtown Valley View Trailer Park property on Aug. 11, 2026, and desires to rent out the shop building to add to the overall mini-warehouse inventory.


    What are buildings for lease or rent regulations?

    When a property owner proposes to use or construct multiple structures for lease or rent on a single tract of land and the buildings are not exempt under Section 5 of the Buildings for Lease or Rent Regulations, then the interested applicant must submit a building for lease or rent application. The application is then reviewed and is subject to approval by the county commissioners. When reviewing the application, the commissioners must find that:

    1. The proposed buildings for lease or rent, as submitted or conditioned, comply with the regulations and other regulations applicable to the property, and avoid or minimize potential significant impacts on the physical environment and human population in the area affected by the buildings for lease or rent;
    2. That adequate water, wastewater, and solid waste facilities are available to serve the buildings for rent or lease;
    3. That adequate access to the site is provided to serve the buildings for lease or rent;
    4. That adequate emergency medical, fire protection, and law enforcement services are available to serve the buildings for rent or lease; and
    5. That the buildings for lease or rent comply with any applicable floodplain regulations.

  • Moccasin Court Administrative Appeal

    Share Moccasin Court Administrative Appeal on Facebook Share Moccasin Court Administrative Appeal on X (formerly Twitter) Share Moccasin Court Administrative Appeal on Linkedin Email Moccasin Court Administrative Appeal link

    Project background

    MT Cavanaugh Rentals LLC has submitted an appeal of an administrative decision for the property located at 12201 Moccasin Court, in the West Valley area. The property is zoned Agriculture, Rural Residential (AGRR 5).



    The property is currently being used as a commercial excavation business, which is not a permitted use within the AGRR 5 zoning district.

    The applicant is challenging the decision of county staff in determining the current operation as an unpermitted use due to its history of a commercial dental manufacturing site, and that the commercial excavation business is an equivalent nonconforming legal use.


    Property history

    The property located at 12201 Moccasin Court was unzoned and was operating as a commercial dental manufacturing site. In 2022, the property became zoned as Agriculture, Rural Residential (AGRR 5). The commercial use was allowed to continue as a legal nonconforming use due to its limited impact.

    In September 2025, the applicant purchased the property and expanded the property’s use by adding a commercial excavation business. Missoula County Planning, Development and Sustainability staff have determined that that commercial excavation business cannot operate as a legal nonconforming use because it is not an equal or more appropriate use for the zoning district, according to Section 10.4.B of the Missoula County Zoning Regulations.
