Project description

Sherra and Brandon Grosvenor are requesting two zoning variances for their property located at 905 Gladis Drive in the Target Range area of Missoula. These two zoning variances request the following:

• To allow construction of an accessory dwelling structure on the 0.32-acre parcel with a dry composting toilet . The parcel is currently too small to support an on-site septic system, which prevents residential development under current Health Department and DEQ standards. The Health Department has indicated a structure with a composting toilet is acceptable.
• Build 15 feet instead of 25 feet from the property line. This would allow a better layout for the accessory dwelling structure, align closer with the neighborhood dwelling pattern, provide room for RV storage and preserve usable outdoor space on the property.

What is a zoning variance?

A variance is a relaxation of specific provisions of the zoning regulations when literal enforcement of the regulations would result in unnecessary or undue hardship.
