Planning and zoning

The Missoula County Commissioners voted 2-1 Wednesday to approve a five-lot subdivision in a Seeley Lake area identified as a prime wildlife corridor.

County Commissioners Barbara Evans and Jean Curtiss voted for the subdivision and Commissioner Bill Carey voted against it.

Lynyrd’s Addition, a subdivision of five lots on 28.09 acres, is located seven miles north of Seeley Lake along Highway 83. The property would include two lots for duplexes and three lots for single-family homes. The north and south side of the property are bordered by residential lots and the property is surrounded by open space on the other sides. [more]

Growth and planning

At their weekly meeting Wednesday, Missoula County Commissioners upheld zoning regulations for Missoula's Pattee Canyon area, voting down a citizen-initiated density increase variance.

Greg Martinsen, who requested the variance, asked for a density increase so he could subdivide his 98.8 acres of land into 20 lots.

The current zoning regulations for Pattee Canyon allow for one dwelling per five acres. The Office of Planning and Grants suggested denying the request and allowing only 19 lots on the property. [more]

Planning and Zoning

Missoula County Commissioners Wednesday approved the rezoning of two residential tracts near Flynn Lane and Highway 10 to allow for commercial uses in the proposed Dougherty Ranch development.

The commissioners took the recommendations of the Office of Planning and Grants to rezone one of the tracts to a special zoning, or mixed-use, district. OPG also recommended rezoning the second tract for "light commercial" use.

The OPG suggestions and subsequent commission decision downsized owner Jim Dougherty’s original requests to rezone one tract to heavy commercial and the other tract to moderate commercial. [more]
