Development Projects

UPDATE: On Thursday, April 7, 2022, the Missoula County commissioners approved the subdivision. This is now closed for comment.

Project Description:

Novelli Nook Subdivision is a proposal to divide a lot within the existing East Missoula Addition into three residential lots. The 6,171-square-foot property contains a single-family home with an attached garage. The proposed subdivision would create two equally sized lots of 1,748 square feet. A duplex is planned along the common lot boundary. The third lot, containing the single-family home, would be 2,675 square feet.

The property is unzoned, but within the boundaries of the Missoula Area Land Use Element (2019). Live/Make Neighborhood is the recommended land use, with intensities ranging from three to 11 dwellings per acre for residential uses. Small-scale manufacturing, fabrication, commercial kitchens and artist studios are considered secondary uses.

The City of Missoula has approved the property for additional water and sewer connections. It is within urbanized East Missoula, and bound by two public roads with an alley behind the existing home. The property has been developed since 1974 and has no recent history of agricultural use. It does not fall within the mapped floodplain, riparian area or known wildlife habitat.
