Riverside Industrial Subdivision is a 160-acre, 36-lot subdivision at the Wye approved in 2022, subject to 32 conditions of approval. The subdivision was approved for two phases, with a Phase I submittal deadline of Aug. 4, 2025, and a Phase II submittal deadline of Aug. 4, 2028. The applicants are requesting to extend the Phase I submittal deadline to Aug. 4, 2028, to better align the development of the subdivision with the Wye Infrastructure Plan timeline and to allow them to consider alternative water and wastewater system options that may become available to the subdivision.
Missoula County Subdivision Regulations (MCSR) Section 5.8.18.4 allows extensions of at least one but no more than three years, which applies to the entire subdivision. Final plats for all phases of a subdivision approved on or after May 8, 2017, must be submitted for review and approved, conditionally approved or denied within 20 years of the date of preliminary plat approval (MCSR 5.8.18.5.B).

Developer Tai Tam LLC is requesting to amendments to The Dairy subdivision in the Target Range neighborhood west of Missoula. The county commissioners originally approved The Dairy as a 14-lot major subdivision in 2022, subject to 25 conditions of approval, and set to expire on July 7, 2025. The developer, represented by Professional Consultants Inc., is requesting to:
- amend the preliminary plat
- revise Condition of Approval No. 15
- extend the final plat submittal
Preliminary plat adjustments:
The applicant is requesting changes to the preliminary plat to eliminate Common Areas 1 and 2, reconfigure easements to comply with Missoula Public Health’s interpretation of lots, and to revise water and irrigation line easements to reflect the design approved by the state Department of Environmental Quality. As part of this adjustment, the existing 25-foot irrigation ditch easement, previously proposed as a common area, will remain in place and continue to serve as a public non-motorized access easement, with a new clarification that, to enhance pedestrian safety, equestrian use will not be allowed.
A preliminary plat is a map of a proposed subdivision submitted for initial review, outlining the general layout of streets, lots and other features.
Revise Condition of Approval No. 15:
The applicant is requesting a condition amendment to modify Condition No. 15 to replace the previously approved box culvert with a 36-inch corrugated metal pipe culvert, in coordination with Missoula County Public Works and the Missoula Irrigation District.
Conditions of approval are modifications to the original plans the applicant is required to make for the project to be approved.
Final plat filing extension:
Finally, the applicant is requesting to extend the current approval deadline from July 7, 2025, to July 7, 2028, due to unforeseen delays in DEQ approval and infrastructure coordination.
Project timeline
The county commissioners will hold a public hearing for this request at 2 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 11, in the Sophie Moiese Room of the Missoula County Courthouse Annex, 200 W. Broadway in Missoula.

The Missoula County Department of Planning, Development, and Sustainability (PDS) has received a minor subdivision request from LMB Property Holdings (represented by IMEG) to create a one-lot subdivision at 9435 Futurity Drive at the Wye.
(Legal description: Missoula Industrial Park, S28, T14 N, R20 W, BLOCK 5, ACRES 2.78, LOT 7 LESS E 50' and Missoula Industrial Park, S28, T14 N, R20 W, BLOCK 5, ACRES 1.42, E 50' of lot 7)

Blanchard Family Transfer and Aggregations Exemptions in Huson

Dennis and Kristal Blanchard are requesting to use the family transfer exemption from subdivision review to divide their 20-acre property at 20470 Whitetail Ridge Road in Huson into
two 10-acre lots. They plan to gift one of the new lots to their daughter, Krisden Blanchard, who is currently a minor. The Blanchards have also applied for an aggregation exemption from subdivision review to expunge a historic boundary line that intersects their property.Subdivision Regulations and Exemptions
Missoula County’s subdivision regulations promote public health, safety and general welfare by ensuring any subdivision of land in the County’s jurisdiction provides for adequate light, air, water supply, sewage disposal, parks and recreation areas, ingress and egress and other public requirements. Many requests to divide land must go through the subdivision process to ensure these requirements are met, but certain types of land division are exempt from subdivision review. Landowners can apply for one or multiple subdivision exemptions when their development plans meet the state and local requirements for the applicable exemptions.
Being granted these exemptions means the property owner does not need to go through the standard subdivision review process to divide their property. These requests require administrative review by planning staff and, in some cases, may require approval by the county commissioners to ensure the applicant is not evading these regulations.
- Family Transfer Exemption
Landowners can request a family transfer exemption when they intend to divide their property to gift or sell the newly created parcel(s) to an immediate family member.
- Aggregation Exemption
Landowners can request an aggregation exemption when the division or combination of parcels will not create new lots or otherwise significantly alter the development potential.

Missoula County is seeking public input on a proposed special exception request from Amerco Real Estate Company to develop a U-Haul mini-warehouse self-storage facility south of Missoula.
The project is located at 4567 Yuhas Ranch Lane, legally described as S02, T12 N, R20 W, C.O.S. 5877, Parcel 4.
The zoning for the 61.61-acre property is split between Agriculture, Reserve (AGR) and Commercial Center (CC). The proposed development would be located on the 11.26-acre portion of the parcel zoned CC. This use is permitted in the CC zoning district as a special exception, which the Missoula County Board of Adjustments must approve.
In addition to the mini warehouse, the proposal includes the retail sale of moving supplies, truck and trailer rentals, and a mechanic shop for the repair of U-Haul vehicles. These uses are permitted in the Commercial Center zoning district and do not require approval.
Special Exception
A special exception is granted when a proposed use does not strictly meet requirements of the zoning district, but it meets design standards and conditions that make it consistent and compatible with existing uses in the district.
To approve the special exception, the board must determine:
- The proposed use or development will be compatible with and will not substantially injure the value of adjoining property;
- The proposed use preserves the character of the district, and the property is suitable for the use proposed.
When reviewing the application, the board will consider the following factors:
- Access, traffic and parking demand created by or impacted by the use, as well as pedestrian, bicycle, and onsite vehicular circulation.
- Dedication and development of streets, right-of-way and public use areas, such as sidewalks next to the property and the capacity to handle the use.
- Impacts on or of public and private utilities or services.
- Proposed siting of any new structures necessary to accommodate the use and their relationship to adjoining and surrounding properties.
- Recreation opportunities and open lands available to serve the use, if relevant.
- Natural resource protections.
- Area of land necessary and whether the site can adequately accommodate the use and meet the intent of the district and character of the neighborhood.
- Any other unique or relevant circumstances related to the property.
