Resolution 4880, Intent to Repeal N. 19th and Oak Street Corridor Master PlanCommission Memorandum REPORT TO: Mayor and City Commission FROM: Tom Rogers, Senior Planner Martin Matsen, Director of Community Development SUBJECT: Resolution 4880, Resolution of Intent to Consider Repeal of the North 19th /Oak Street Corridor Master Plan MEETING DATE: January 29, 2018 AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution 4880, the resolution of intent to repeal the N. 19th Avenue and Oak Street Corridor Master Plan and direct preparation of public notice for a public hearing on the matter. BACKGROUND: The N. 19th /Oak Street Corridor Master Plan was adopted on February 3, 1997 by Resolution 3160. As a result of annexation and development within the City of Bozeman this sub-area plan is no longer an effective tool to manage growth in this area. In addition, the recent adoption of the revised development code, better known as the “UDC Update” further renders the plan obsolete. The N. 19th /Oak Street Corridor Master Plan can be viewed HERE. There are five general goals of the plan outlined in Chapter IV of the document. They are (paraphrased): 1. Promote and enhance North 19th Avenue and Oak Street as major entryways into the City. 2. Promote the establishment, utilization, and/or protection of parkland, open space, trails, and environmentally sensitive lands. 3. Provide for the establishment of commercial and business park areas that enhance Bozeman’s economy while being sensitive existing neighborhoods. 4. Protect existing neighborhoods and future residential development from conflicting land uses. 5. Provide public facilities which can accommodate projected growth. These goals have largely been achieved and will continue to be implemented by other existing plans, zoning districts, the Community Plan, and the revised Unified Development Code “UDC”. There have been substantial changes to the City’s land development regulations since adoption of the N. 19th /Oak Street Corridor Master Plan. In addition, there are other overlapping plans with different objectives, the more recently adopted N. 7th Avenue Connectively Plan overlays the N. 19th /Oak Street Plan east of 11th Avenue. 81 The revised UDC integrated the design standards of the Entryway Corridors and site planning to insure development supports economic development and mitigates potential non-compatible land use conflict. The N. 19th Avenue and Oak Street Corridor Master Plan generally assumes a suburban standard for development in the corridor. The needs and goals of the City have evolved over the last 20 years and, in the Department’s opinion, rendered the plan less than effective. Also, substantial development within the area has established a character of the area. Since the adoption of the N. 19th Avenue and Oak Street Corridor Master Plan, the City’s Growth Policy has been updated twice. A third revision has begun while a full analysis of whether or not the N 19th /Oak Street Plan comports with the current Community Plan has not been done. Finally, discussion with Planning Board regarding the update to the growth policy identified as a task non-effective obsolete plans should be considered for repeal. If the City Commission acts to approve the resolution of intent to repeal the plan the Planning Board is scheduled to consider the request on February 6, 2016. A public hearing on the matter will be scheduled. At this time it appears the resolution will be brought back before the City Commission on March 5, 2018, for final review and possible approval. A full analysis of the review criteria found in Chapter 17 of the Community Plan will be included with the formal staff report prepared for the Planning Board and City Commission. The proposed schedule for the review of this initiative is as follows.  City Commission Resolution of Intent January 29, 2018  Planning Board review and recommendation February 6, 2018  City Commission Resolution of Adoption TBD (likely March 5, 2018) UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None. ALTERNATIVES: As determined by the City Commission FISCAL EFFECTS: None identified.
