Land use planning continues to serve as the fundamental approach to ensure that the our community grows in a way that is representative of Missoula’s values, including a vision of growth and development that is sustainable and resilient, and a commitment to ensuring that Missoula is a community that is equitable and fair where all Missoulians can thrive.

Implementation

implementation focuses on coordination for improvements (through the Community Investment Program) to city public facilities and services, the approach to annexation, specific implementation strategies, and the need to monitor and evaluate progress. The identification of programs, activities, actions, or land use regulations are part of the overall strategy for implementing the Land Use Plan.

Restated from above: Regional street types should be further constrained to a very select few corridors that already contain large/wide streets and big-box stores. Regional should not be proposed along corridors that have smaller streets and residential uses. Those streets should be classified as Community Mixed Use.

Many homes in Missoula have "high density" living situations in that multiple people are living under one roof, and hence, have multiple cars. My single family home has two working parents, older kids with cars/jobs, and until recently, a grandmother - all living in one house and all driving. In addition to families, many single family homes in Missoula have multiple unrelated people living in them, especially with students - and they all need cars to get to work, etc. Until we figure out a way to teleport, no one is going to get rid of their cars.

I think we both know there wasn't a source and that they just assumed population growth would be fairly linear.

You forgot NIMBYs and capitalists.

We should just have poor housing. Anything else is excessive.

Terrible art.

Sounds like we need public housing then

This kind of matters less when school districts are not drawn equitably and when we allow private schools to exist and destroy our public education system.

2024 Grant Creek Fires RIP
replies

Anon Oct 31 2024 at 7:58PM on page 43

So, everybody?
replies

Anon Oct 31 2024 at 7:58PM on page 43

The city barely owns most of the streetlights. That's all NWE stuff. This is a useless statement.
replies

Anon Oct 31 2024 at 7:56PM on page 47

Question
Is... is Grant Creek really "missing" sidewalks when it's intended to be rural residential?

You should be removed.

So get rid of short term rentals

Question
If the primary difference between the urban residentials is slightly larger apartments, then why not just combine them?
replies

Anon Oct 31 2024 at 7:46PM on page 67

Suggestion
If we want large apartment complexes, shouldn't the maximum height be... higher? 5-6 stories makes more sense.
replies

Anon Oct 31 2024 at 7:45PM on page 69

Suggestion
Make it 5 stories or higher. There's no reason to keep the height so low.
replies

Anon Oct 31 2024 at 7:45PM on page 71

Suggestion
Make it 5 stories.
replies

Anon Oct 31 2024 at 7:44PM on page 73

Seems a bit restricting to require a maximum of 2 stories when you're least likely to affect your neighbors in this area....
replies

Anon Oct 31 2024 at 7:43PM on page 77

Question
Why not 10? That's a good round number

I think a parking structure with a green roof would go a long way to reducing the heat island effect than rows of shiny cars.

What a garbage concept to include. Suburbs have no place in an equitable society.

So it sounds like you really just don't want suburban zones. Which is something I support.

Why not just have a single "Urban Mixed-Use" category?

Suggestion
You know what else creates a barrier to high-speed traffic, reduces traffic sound, and makes areas feel like neighborhoods? Lowering speed limits. We don't need double-sided street parking.

Why not simplify the bars into low, medium, and high if you're only going to identify three points?

Question
I question why we need street parking on both sides of any two-lane street.

Anon Oct 31 2024 at 7:04PM on page 106

Question
Why do we want to set a floor for vehicles? And why do we want a speed limit above 30mph?
replies

Anon Oct 31 2024 at 7:03PM on page 106

Suggestion
If these roads go through areas of significant commercial and pedestrian activity, pedestrians should be much higher on the emphasis
