Deciphering the District Names and Map Symbols The B and C district names and map symbols shown above provide only a general, relative indication of the types and scale of uses allowed within respective B and C districts. On the zoning map these districts include at least one other essential information component: an intensity designator, which is identified by a dash and a numeral following the initial letter-number combination, as in B2-2 (B2 dash The intensity designator establishes the allowable intensity of development and applicable parcel and building standards. B.

Front and street side setbacks are required only when a B- or C-zoned parcel abuts an R- zoned parcel with frontage on the same street. In such cases, the B- or C-zoned parcel must match the actual front or street side setback of the building that exists on the abutting R-zoned parcel, but no greater than the required setback for the abutting R-zoned parcel, or if no building exists on the abutting R-zoned parcel, the B- or C-zoned parcel must provide at least 50% of the front setback that applies to the abutting R-zoned parcel. Interior side setbacks are required only when a B- or C-zoned parcel abuts an R-zoned parcel. In such cases, the B- or C-zoned parcel must provide the same interior side setback as required for the abutting R-zoned parcel. For parcels abutting R districts that have a maximum allowed building height of 35 feet or less, the maximum building height at the point of the required minimum setback line is 35 feet. Height may be increased above 35 feet by up to one foot (vertical) for each 6 inches of building setback or upper floor step-back. ---PAGE BREAK--- Chapter 20.10 Business and Commercial Districts 20.10.040 Site, Design and Operational Standards M I S S O U L A Z O N I N G O R D I N A N C E Page 20.10-6 20.10.040 Site, Design and Operational Standards A.
