Our Missoula Project – Unified Development Code

Jen Gress

Ben Hughes Homeowners Association

We have the following questions as to Attachment 4 - “Policy to Implementation Mapping.” 1) How does the "Developed Park" amenity apply to Ben Hughes when Ben Hughes Park is not shown on the "Developed Parks" map page 7 (nor in other City planning documents)? 2) How does the "Commuter Trail" amenity apply to Ben Hughes when the only Community Trail that exists serves as a walkway behind the Cobblestone development, is less than 1/2 mile long, and has never in 40 years been connected to any trail system allowing for commuting. (Figure 26, PROST). And, why does the Commuter Trails map (page 8) include only the "proposed trail” from the Cobblestones to Van Buren and not the “proposed trails” throughout the City and particularly those in the Upper Rattlesnake (Figure 26, PROST)? 3) How was the scope of the Transit Stop amenity determined for Ben Hughes in terms of distance? Specifically, the mapping on page 6 for appears inconsistent with the radius circles which are otherwise applied.

Larry Chase

What does Multi-Modal options mean in relation to the amenities? Pg 5 of the 12.03 LUP Policy to Zoning Mapping document lists 6 amenity data layers that are used for amenity based-zoning. Absent from this list is Multi-Modal options. Then on pg 25 of the same document the Easy Street neighborhood is shown with 3 amenities, 1 of which is Multi-Modal options. Yet Multi-Modal options are not an amenity as defined earlier in the document. So it seems that the Easy Street neighborhood has at most 2 amenities: Transit Stop and Developed Park(?). About the park - Pg 7 shows that the Easy St neighborhood is NOT within a 15-min walk of a developed park. Plus, the 2040 PROST Plan clearly shows Ben Hughes Park designated as conservation land, not a developed park. You're now down to only 1 amenity - a transit stop - because multi-modal options are not a defined amenity and there is not a developed park. What am I missing that the planning staff sees?

Context -Setting Topics: Transitional Mixed Use (TMU), Residential FAR, and Neighborhood Commercial.
