Hexion Setback Variance

Project Description:

Missoula County Department of Planning, Development & Sustainability (PDS) has received a variance request from Hexion, who seeks placement of a concrete equipment pad and air core reactor equipment in the 25 foot setback of the southern property boundary, located at 3670 Grant Creek Road and is legally described as S08, T13 N, R19 W, ACRES 6.48, TRACT IN SW4NE4. The 6.84-acre parcel is zoned as ICH (Industrial Center – Heavy ) and is currently occupied by the Hexion manufacturing facility. The ICH zoning allows for heavy industrial development. Section 2.3.N.4.b does not allow for this. The air core reactor is intended to reduce amperage in transformers on the property and improve safety for employees and the public.
