It would reduce the minimum number of parking spaces required for development projects within the B-2M Districts. Additionally, the ZTA proposes that within the Midtown Urban Renewal District, minimum parking requirements do not apply. Specifically, the proposed change would apply to Section 38.25.040.A, including Table 38.25.040-1 and create new standards specific to the B-2M District by adding Section 38.25.040.A.6 and Table 38.25.040-7. The applicant, City of Bozeman Economic Development, held a policy discussion with the Bozeman City Commission on May 1, 2017. The Commission directed staff to prepare a text change that would reduce the required off-street parking spaces within the B-2M District. The information prepared for that policy discussion, as well as the minutes from the Commission meeting, is included with this application. ZTA Checklist Responses 1. A thorough project narrative including a detailed response to the following: a. Is the new zoning designed in accordance with the growth policy? How? The proposed text amendments are in accordance with the adopted growth policy. An underlying principle of the Bozeman Community Plan is that public and quasi-public infrastructure is necessary to ensure the health, safety and general welfare of our citizens; and maintain and grow our community. The City of Bozeman’s Vision is detailed in Chapter 1 of the Bozeman Community Plan. The first goal relates to growth management to promote the unique history and character of Bozeman by preserving, protecting, and enhancing the overall quality of life within the planning area. The overarching goal of this text amendment is to further implement the Design and Connectivity Plan for N 7th Avenue Corridor by establishing code provisions to revitalize and invigorate investment within the district. The text amendment relates to several specific objectives in the Bozeman Community Plan, including: Goal LU-1: Create a sense of place that varies throughout the City, efficiently provides public and private basic services and facilities in close proximity to where people live and work, and minimizes sprawl. The N 7th corridor is a prime location for infill development to reduce demand on the transportation network by creating housing and employment in the center of the city. There is existing residential development and commercial activities nearby. Encouraging the B-2M Parking ZTA Application Page 2 development of infill and redevelopment of property will improve the efficiency of public services and reduce outward expansion of City. Reducing the amount of on-site parking will improve efficiency in the use of land and encourage more dense development. Objective LU-1.4: Provide for and support infill development and redevelopment which provides additional density of use while respecting the context of the existing development which surrounds it. Respect for context does not automatically prohibit difference in scale or design. The proposed code amendment supports this criterion in multiple ways and furthers the desired outcome of the adopted plans while respecting the context of the existing development. Reducing the number of required off-street parking spaces allows for greater flexibility for development within the B-2M District. It allows for greater investment in the area for multiple housing types and commercial opportunities. Objective LU-2.3: Encourage redevelopment and intensification, especially with mixed uses, of brownfields and underutilized property within the City consistent with the City’s adopted standards. Using this approach rehabilitate corridor based commercial uses into a pattern more supportive of principles supported by commercial centers. The proposed code amendment supports this objective by encouraging the redevelopment of underutilized property. Many of the properties with the B-2M District are small and current parking requirements can make redevelopment projects unfeasible. Objective LU-4.4: Review and revise the City’s regulations to encourage and support sustainability in new construction and rehabilitation or redevelopment of existing areas. The proposed amendments will encourage infill development by allowing a greater percentage of the lot area to be developed, while encouraging Goal C-1 addresses human scale and compatibility with intent to create a community composed of neighborhoods designed for the human scale and compatibility in which the streets and buildings are properly sized within their context, services and amenities are convenient, visually pleasing, and properly integrated. Objective C-1.4: Achieve an environment through urban design that maintains and enhances the City’s visual qualities within neighborhood, community and regional commercial areas. Minimizing the required off-street property allows development and redevelopment projects to promote transparency, functionality, human scale, and other design consideration to further enhance the City’s visual qualities. Objective C-2.5: explore and encourage innovative parking solutions for both residential and commercial projects, including parking best practices, expanded parking districts, cash in lieu of parking, and design guidelines for structured parking. B-2M Parking ZTA Application Page 3 The proposed amendments reflect best practices in the provision of parking by allowing property owners to build only the number of parking spaces needed to meeting parking demand. b. Will the new zoning secure safety from fire and other dangers? How? Yes. The proposed amendments do not change the breadth of tools available to the City in identifying and mitigating risk from land use and development. c. Will the new zoning promote public health, public safety and general welfare? How? Yes. The proposed amendments do not change the requirements for provision of water or sewer systems, provision of emergency response capability, or similar existing standards. The regulatory provisions established through the City’s municipal code under Chapter 38, Unified Development Code (UDC), BMC, will adequately address the issues of health and general welfare. Further development of any property may also require review and approval by the City Engineer's Office, Director of Public Works, Development Review Committee, and when appropriate the Design Review Board. d. Will the new zoning facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks, and other public requirements? How? Yes. The proposed amendments do not change the requirements for provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks and other systems when development occurs. This code amendment is intended to encourage infill development in the B-2M District, resulting in greater efficiencies of the existing, sewer, water, schools and other public requirements. Established procedures in the City’s municipal code under Chapter 38, Unified Development Code (UDC), BMC, will provide for mitigation of impacts as they occur. e. Will the new zoning provide reasonable provision of adequate light and air? How? Neutral. This area of the City is anticipating much greater development. As such, some of the existing open spaces and views may be compromised with development. However, these provisions are a direct result of and further adopted plans. Additionally, the regulatory provisions established through the City’s municipal code under Chapter 38, Unified Development Code (UDC), BMC, will adequately address the issues of health and general welfare. Further development of any property may also require review and approval by the Montana Department of Health and Environmental Quality, City Engineer's Office, Director of Public Works, Development Review Committee, and Design Review Board. f. Will the new zoning have an effect on motorize and non-motorized transportation systems? How? Neutral. Development that follows the proposed text amendments may create additional vehicular traffic. However, the proposed code amendment is intended to encourage development of residential and commercial uses near existing services. This proximity of uses encourages non-motorized transportation uses and decreases reliance on motor transportation systems. g. Does the new zoning promote compatible urban growth? How? B-2M Parking ZTA Application Page 4 Yes. The proposed text amendment will promote compatible urban growth. An ongoing public discussion that resulted in the 2006 Design and Connectivity Plan for North 7th Avenue Corridor, the Midtown Urban Renewal District goals, and through the process that created the proposed text insures desired urban growth will result. h. Does the new zoning promote the character of the district? How? Yes. These amendments are intended to implement the goals of the Design and Connectivity Plan for the N. 7th Corridor (2006) and the Midtown Urban Renewal Plan. The existing character in the Midtown Urban Renewal District and the B-2M District is eclectic and has largely been auto centric. The creation of the B-2M District was expressly focused on continuing and evolving the character of the district. This amendment to modify the off-street parking requirements continues the evolution of an auto-oriented district, to one focused on human scale urban design. i. Does the new zoning address the affected area’s peculiar suitability for particular uses? How? Neutral. The proposed amendments do not make material changes to land uses. No new types of uses B-2M District are being proposed. j. Was the new zoning adopted with a view to conserving the values of buildings? How? Yes. One of the primary goals of this code amendment is to revitalize and invigorate investment in the district. Property values within the B-2M District has seen little or no improvement within the past several years. The proposed amendment is intended to encourage development within the District. The result will be improved value of buildings in and around the district. k. Does the new zoning encourage the most appropriate use of land throughout the jurisdictional area? Yes. The proposed amendments do not make material changes to land uses. The community has expressed a strong desire to require greater density, encourage redevelopment, and create neighborhoods designed for human scale and compatibility. The proposed text creates the regulatory framework that encourages an appropriate use of land. 2. If the text change is proposed to Chapter 38, BMC subdivision regulations an addendum to the project narrative including a detailed response to the following: N/A. The proposed text amendment does not include changes to the subdivision regulations. 3. Provide language to be removed from the Unified Development Code in strikeout format on the original pages if proposed. Provide new text and location to be inserted into the Unified Development Code. See attached document which includes the strikeout format and proposed new text.
