Action Items 1. 06:02:45 PM (00:01:18) 16404 Billion Auto Plaza Zone Map Amendment (Zoning Commission only) Zone Map Amendment to rezone eight existing lots totaling approximately 21 acres and adjacent rights-of-way from BP Business Park to B-2 Community Commercial district as allowed by Article 38.37 of the Bozeman Municipal Code. (Owens) 06:02:58 PM (00:01:31) Rebecca Owens entered her staff report and findings into the record. She noted this proposal is to rezone eight existing lots totaling 21 acres, located within a commercial PUD, lying along the west side of Cottonwood Road from BP to B-2. The future land use designation is community commercial mixed use. The B-2 zone is an implementing zone for the land use designation while the BP zone is not. The PUD was established in 1992 and there are two lots and two open space lots remaining undeveloped at this time. Current uses on the site are automobile oriented; and future development within the PUD would be subject to the provisions of B-2 zoning and the corridor overlay district. She noted that access to the undeveloped lots will probably be from an extension of Competition Drive to Fallon Street; the Montana Department of Transportation has prohibited access to this subdivision from Huffine Lane. Rebecca Owens stated no public comment has been received as of this time. She noted the Development Review Committee has reviewed this application and recommended approval. 06:10:09 PM (00:08:42) Erik Garberg asked if changing the zoning will create any issues with the existing uses. 06:10:21 PM (00:08:54) Rebecca Owens responded that the auto related uses on the site are not permitted in BP but will be more conforming since they are permitted or conditional uses in the B-2 zone. 06:11:14 PM (00:09:47) Responding to questions from Erik Garberg, Rebecca Owens stated the applicant will probably need to either amend the PUD or seek conditional use approval for continued auto related operations if other planning processes are triggered in the subdivision. 06:11:51 PM (00:10:24) Julien Morice asked about the proposed motion language; Rebecca Owens responded that the contingencies on Page 9 reference standard zone map contingencies. 06:12:31 PM (00:11:04) Chris Wasia, Genesis Engineering, indicated concurrence with the staff report and a willingness to respond to questions. 06:12:55 PM (00:11:28) Erik Garberg asked if the applicant is aware that there may be additional conditional use permitting processes required after this. 06:13:00 PM (00:11:33) Chris Wasia responded the applicant is aware there may be. He stated they are not removing the PUD at this time, but changing the underlying zoning to be more consistent with what is in the area. 06:13:44 PM (00:12:17) Chris Mehl asked if the applicant has seen the memo from staff, noting it will be entered into the record. Chris Wasia responded he has and has no issues with it. 06:14:10 PM (00:12:43) George Thompson asked about the alignment of the access roads. 06:14:31 PM (00:13:04) Chris Wasia responded the plat was done in the early 1990s and the roads for this development were platted at that time. He recognized that other roadways in the area may or may not connect to the existing roads in the future. He stated he feels Competition Drive needs to be completed at some time, noting he is not aware of why it has not been to date. 06:15:23 PM (00:13:56) George Thompson noted he is baffled by roads that don’t align with those in adjacent developments. 06:16:00 PM (00:14:33) Erik Garberg opened the public hearing; not public comment was received. 06:16:24 PM (00:14:57) It was moved by Julien Morice that, having reviewed and considered the staff report, application materials public comment and information presented, I hereby adopt the findings presented in the staff report for application 16404 and move to recommend approval of the Billion Auto Plaza Zone Map Amendment with contingencies required to complete the application process. 06:16:45 PM (00:15:18) Seconded by Jordan Zignego. 06:16:47 PM (00:15:20) Julien Morice stated the property is surrounded by B-2, and the rezoning makes sense. 06:17:18 PM (00:15:51) The motion carried unanimously. F. 06:17:27 PM (00:16:00) FYI/Discussion. Chris Mehl asked if this board will be meeting on December 20, noting it would be good to let people know as soon as possible if there is no meeting. G. 06:18:05 PM (00:16:38) Adjournment. Erik Garberg adjourned the meeting.
