Pernell Commons Minor Subdivision in East Missoula

Project Description:

The Missoula County Department of Planning, Development & Sustainability (PDS) has received a request from Habitat for Humanity, represented by IMEG, to subdivide a .22-acre tract in East Missoula into four residential lots.

The subdivider has requested a variance to allow two of the four lots to use the alley for legal access. All four lots will use a parking area located on Lot 3, next to the alley.

The property is located at 509-515 Speedway Ave., on the south side of the road near the intersection with Clyde Street. The property is legally described as COS #3917, Parcel 2, located in the S2 & SW4 SE4 S20, T14 N, R20 W, P.M.M., Missoula County.

Details on the subdivision request are available by contacting the PDS Office or online at http://missoula.co/governingbodyreviewpacket. Comments may be mailed to PDS, 200 W. Broadway, Missoula, MT, 59802 or emailed to jdixon@missoulacounty.us.

The commissioners must base their decision on the following review criteria, so comments related to these criteria are most useful.

REVIEW CRITERIA FOR SUBMISSION REQUESTS

Findings of Fact

The staff recommendation on a subdivision request is made after consideration of the following findings of fact:

  1. Compliance with zoning and the comprehensive plan;

  1. Effects on agriculture and agricultural water user facilities, local services, the natural environment, wildlife and wildlife habitat, and public health and safety;

  1. Compliance with survey requirements established in state statute, and local subdivision regulations and review procedures;

  1. Provision of necessary easements; and,

  1. Provision of legal and physical access.

The governing body (Board of County Commissioners) may require mitigation to minimize potentially significant adverse impacts without unreasonably restricting a landowner’s ability to develop the land. (Subdivision Regulations, Chapter 5.7.14.7)

When determining appropriate mitigation, the governing body shall consider: A) whether unmitigated impacts of a proposed development are unacceptable, precluding approval of the plat; and B) the expressed preference of the subdivider. (Subdivision Regulations Chapter 5.7.14.7)
